A WINTER TOUR.

The Radical State Conventiou has been postponed to some time next summer. We have zhe best reasons for believiag that the negro exodus is the result of u Democratic scheme,” etc. —Rensselaer Republican. . Yi jy well, then, let your readers also have those best reasons. Read the article on “Centralization” contained in our supplement to-day. Read it calmly and considerately and let reason and judgment usurp tlieplace so long occupied by passion and prejudice. . On the first page of our paper today will be found a statement by Gov. Garcclon, of Maine, in reference to what who done in the recent canvass of the votes of that btate. It is plain, honest, straighiforward expression Of facts, and will commend itself to every unprejudiced reader. The radical importations Into this State say they were induced to leave their old homes by the big promises made by leaders of the radical party. On account of discovery and expos ure of the scheme the radical Moseses are leaving their promises, to a gaeat extent, unfulfilled, aud the ne groes are very destitute.

The exodus negroes admit and declare that one of the terms of agreement for their importation into this Stale is that they will vote the Re publican ticket, and yet radical editors tell their readers that if “is a positive lie” to assert that polities has anything to do with it, or that the radical leaders are the authors ol the scheme. One of the imlueementsheld out to the negzo emigrationists by radical emissaries Was that there would be no distinction made on account of race or color; and to give it moniuvit ing force the radical State organ, the Indianapolis Journal added: ‘ Nobodys daughters except those of Democrats, demand white husbands or none!” *— P the Republican leaders wished to import voters they could get hundreds of young men from Kentucky,” etc. Rensselaer Republican. The idea that hundreds of young men in Kentucky could be hoodwink ed by su<di promises as were made to the wretched Carolina negroes is simply absurd. Your readers would much prefer to have “the best reasons” in your possession, A paper printed in Osceola, Nebraska, contains the following well merited notice of a Rensselaer boy: —Prof J. L. Makeover, of Rensselaer, Inc., ha - accepted the professor ship c» the ComutMvial Department to be founded in connection with out Cuiveraity. He L. expected here to commer.:-!' duties the first of the new year. The trustees of the institution mean business. We trust their efforts will be appreciated and in behalf of our citizens extend a cordial welcome to Pi of. Makeover.

The L''transport Chronicle says:— • 'There is no utc further disguising the fact that the Repuhlicrn leaders t.ave pu! thetr heads together and have laid their plans fo r the flooding of Indiana with poor negroes from the 8 >uth. A portion of the advance guaid passed ihtough L«gausport last Wednesday on their wav to the farm of Col. Stieight near Goochland. This is a suicidal inoye on the part of the Republican leud-rs. For ev cry negro tniported the Republican party will lose two white votes There are hundreds of white working men in Jiidi aua to day who would be glad to accept the places offered these negroes, and at the same wages, too.” In n free Republic the will of the people is the source of power, but if their will is substituted by fra id then our Republican form of goveument becomes a fraud. - Rensselaer Republican. Just our idea precisely, neighbor. We thought it at the time the radical thieves, carpet baggers, Agues Jenks, Lize Pinksto-n and the Louisiana liars “substituted by fraud the will of the people” of Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, and we’ve thought so from that day to this. Rut, in the recent action of the Jackson-hearted Governor of Maine in thwarting rhe efforts of Blaine et al to introduce it in that State, leads us to hope that our Republican foim of government is not destined to become a farce 1

The Ltiwrenceburg Rev ister conta’ns an interesting interview between Hon. C R. Faulkner, a member ot the Indiana State Legislature and a North Carolina exodus negro. The Register says: Hon. C. R. Faulkner, reluming from Washington a few days since on a train on which there was a car load of North Carolina negroes, goi into the following conversation with one ui them, and the inteiview resulted about as toilows, which is furnished the Register for publicatioa;. ‘Where aie you hound tor?” “Going to Indiana.” “What is your name?” “Solomou Hooten, ot Monree oountv, Norm Carolina.” “How does it come that you are all leaving your homes at this time of the year?” “ Well, sir, we were promised good times out iu Indiana, Messrs. Perry ami Williams have agitated the matter f i some lime past. Secret meetings weir held, at which each negro signed a writ, ten bgreemeut, and Williams, and Perry are paid one dollar by each negro to lead them out ol bondage, as it were. We are delivered over to A. P, Walls, at Washington, D. C., and he has to furnish ua transportation to Indianapolis, where we are turned over to Mr. Hinton (State canal commissioner;, a colored gentleman. We were promised belore leaving our homes that wou'd be given work at ib cents per day until spring, when we were to be furnished farms, with a horse and cow free, and all the necessary fanning utensils, for half the crops raised. — We were also further promised dial there should be no distinction on account of color whatever, all were to be on equal footiug, regardless of iace or color.
