Their policy bs therefore been to counteract this tendency.We cannot now recollect anything possible that the Radical leaders have neglected in pursuance of this policy to conciliate the negroes—unless it is the passage of a law compelling .white men sod women to intermarry with them. While white men may choose their own company at hotels, theatres and on the cars, so long as the choosing of their company is confined to white men, to please the negroes and retain the negro vote, they have enacted that white men 3hali make ft» exception at such places in favor of negro company. Under that law tbs white millionaire may with impunity refuse to associate with any poor white man he desires; but if fa© refuses the company of the filthiest negro the law presumes thaj it was on account of color, and provides penalties for giving way to the “prejudice.” Of a similar character have been all their efforts to bind negroes to the Radical party.

Yet this is whal twoof the Radical candidates in Pettis.■ Thompson and Bothwell — have done. They declined to march in the Recent Radical torchlight procession with the Pettia county ne-groesl This was a Radical party crime. It was going back on the mao and brother “who fought nobly,” which it has hitherto been supposed only Rebels dared do f Aod yet Messrs.
