We are called upon pursue a policy of masterly inactivity, or to support one or the other of the two Republican parties now in the field.

Any political organization iu Mississippi, at the present time, that is discountenanced by the Xational party controling every department of the general Government, will be utterly powerless to afford us relief. It depends upon the will of a Republican Congress whether or not we are re-admitted into the Union, and our lost right-restored to us under the Constitution of the United 'States. We were told in the outset of the canvass that the ticket headed by the President's brother-in-law. Judge Dent, was favored by General Grant and by Congress, and believing this I was inclined to support it on the liberal platf.rm it bad adopted. But soon afterwaids.

General Alcorn, one of the largest laud-owners in the State, and therefore deeply interested in the important question ofyaxation. was nominated for Governor on a platform equally as liberal and conservative as the Other; and it soon became evident to all men who could read, and to most men who could not. that the only party receiving the least encouragement from the President and the Republican Party of the North, was the one headed by Alcorn. Rclieviri" this, and having full confidence in the integrity of General Alcorn and others on liis ticket, and believing that they will iu good faith carry out the pledge contained in their platform to -ue all the political influence of the State with Congress for the bimeJiate removal, as provided, of all political disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth I deem it the part of wisdom and sound policy for our people in the present emergency, to sustain the regular Republican party.

At first, colored suffrage was looked ution as a detriment to the interest of the -m-monwealth, and it provoked apprehension, indignation and opposition. But the manner in which the colored voters have conducted them -elves an I an of two years, has wrought a wonderful change of opinion in this commonwealth.

one woidd supple that be ough-, to know' that vituperation and abuse have ceased to be arguments ith intelligent men. But deprive of the privilege of abusing Alcorn and yon exhaust his stock in trade and l.e becomes, at once, a political bat kr ipt. He says, in substance, that a white man wlio supports Alcorn, forsakes his race and joins in a cms uie with its enemies to humiliate and degrade it. Now this is either voluntary twaddle or premeditated nonsense. That both wings of the Radical party make use of means and appliances to secure flic negro vote, which are of questionable propriety.

I admit. But if Alcorn is guilt j. is Dent without sin? Was not the Convention which nominated D. nt compose of negroes as well as white men, and did nut tho white men turn their backs upon their race, when they nominated the thick-lipped, ll it-n -d. kinky-h aded Sinclair for Secretary of State? Look at their tickets for the Legislature in the several comities of the State, and see if the Dent Radicals have not as many negro candidates as the Alcorn Radicals.

It is true that an overw iclmiiig majority of the negroes will vote tor Alcorn but are. not Dent and his wing of Radicals exerting all the power which within them lies, to win the negro vote? Alcorn has secured their confidence Dent is trying to do it. One is a success, the other a failure. There, ami there only, is the rub. In the morals of political a ciat'on with negro disgraces Alcorn, and ennobles Dent.

Curious compliment this, to Dent! Your trresp lent, aft-r declining to discus, the cpie-tioii oi principles, touches up en. Alcorn's r--eord little and says that, although D'-ut, is abolitionist of iwi nty years stan ling. Alcorn is .1 recent convert to abolitionism." This is a new charge against him. and I venture the statement that jour readers never heard of it before. I have never attempt-ei to defend the record of G011.

Alcorn, except to show that I sacrificed no loyalty to Southern interests by supporting him against Dent. Indeed, in mj speech which seems to have aroused this valiant quill-knight of tiie Dent party, I passed over his record words of deprecationa I simply claimed th it Alcorn's record was no worse than Dent's, and proved position bv Dent's own mouth. Inasmuch however, as -S" strikes wildly and fori-oudy at the odious record, let us see what it is." In 1 it is scarcely necessary to go beyond that period.) Gen. Alcorn was elected to tiie United States Senate by a LecPhitore fresh from Confederate battlefields. A Confederate General was Governor.

A Confederate Colonel was President of the Senate. Another Confederate General as Speaker of the House of Re-prtsentatives. Up to that time, then, bis record cannot be supposed to be objectionable, lie was in favor of Reconstruction according to the "policy" of Johnson. Immediately after his election, be proceeded to the city of Washington and presented his Credentials He was not admitted to his seat, but his credentials were referred to the Reconstruction Committee of Congress with Thad. Stevens as Chairman.

It was then well known that the Congress would ignore the --policy" of the President, and would take the matter of Reconstruction in tiieir own hands. Gen. Alcorn, together with other Mississippians was disappointed and chargrilled at this, and so expressed himself. He did not remain long at the OtpStul, however, before iie found that, in the contest which was brewing between Congress and the President, the latter would go under, and that we would be the sufferers. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United Siat'-s was the fir proposition which was 111 it'c ii the Congress to the States lately in rebellion.

Trie ratification of this was a prerequisite to reconstruction. Alter being satisfied that the will of Congress would be tiie law of the aind. Gen. Alcorn advised the Mississippi legislature. the same hich had elected him to tiie U.

S. Senate and which was still in session. to ratify it. And it came to pass about this ti.ne. that the people began 1.

peak evil of General Alcorn. This was the first split. Has not the subsequent history of State proved the ivisdom of his advice? lie predicted that wor tilings would happen. Worse things did happen. Early in the so-called Reconstruction laws were enacted, and negro hich was left optional to the State hy too 1 Uii Amendment, was forced upon us.

This opened the eves of the. people to some extent. Barksdale. Brown, Watson.

Alcorn was all right again.

The passing notes fell upon tiie ears of a few men in Jackson. That city true to its j.citrtfiitt lor issuing politic bulletins, sent forth under rhe auspices of the Constitutional Union Party, a most defiant address urging the people tosiay away from the polls and treat he laws of Congress with silent scorn. Instantly the programme was Jail.

son prevailed. Gen. Alcorn knew that at the same time that the people of the North might differ among themselves, thej were always together when we ere the victims. He was not misled by Democratic victories but ill advised the people to vote and control the Convention. And it came to pass that the people began to speak evil of Is i 111 a second time.

The Convention was held. Its members were, mainly, aspiring carpet-baggers, seallawngs and negroes. A prescriptive Constitution was the natural result. Snbsequent history again proved the wisdom of Alcorn's advice. But Alcorn vot--d to ratify this Constitution.

Alcorn was a member of the Committee of Sixteen who endeavored to have the rejected Constitution fastened upon us by Congress.

He said that he did not go to Washington Citv to urge that policy, but be real! did think it was the shortest way out of our difficulties, more especiallj since, be had the assurances from Bingham and other prominent Republicans that, if ratified, the Congress would either remove the proseriptive features itself or aut lerize the Legislature of the State to do so. And now since tiie Constitution is to be again submitted to us. with the privilege of voting separately upon the disfranchising clau-es.

Gen. Alcorn, true to bis declarations, made more than a year ago, announces his determination, and the determination "'f Ids party to vote down those clauses, and iurther pledges himself and his part to use all their influence with the Congress to remove the political disabilities of every single man in the State.
