The 15th Amendment.

Tht bolter* from our-. State Legislature seem to be endorsed by tb. ir <ou«tilucutis a« w e supposed they would be. "Regardless of race, or previous rood lion" in a phrase which i* a “provoke” to the JVmwrney, sufficient r.t any time to juwity them in any and al! outrageous acta they can be guilty bfl Say “nigger” to one ol them and he Mat once ready to die in the last ditch, it the said ditch is forty or fifty years of. - In Cass county, a meeting was calks! to indorse McFaphen and Bask ilk. and ail who were afraid «t negni supremacy were there.— I.ascli.k and McFapimcx spoke their little pieces, and were indorsed. Thrift-publicans held a convention on Saturday last and we understand concluded that as they had no part in bringing about this condition of things in the State, ami as it-war a Democratic affair throughout, they would not make any nominations, ■ud thus leave tiie whole responsibility ol the matter with the Democratic party, and if they can find any amusement in it, they wiil be welcome to it.

The gentlemanly LASKItC and tHn heroic McFaddkn will be able to extract some amusement from it we have no doubt, because this is a subject on which they are perfectly at home. Negro supn macy lias been the fear of these gentlemen since they first took part in politics. It is their all. lou take the “nigger’’ out of their speeches and there would b« nothing left. The harrowing fear of the Democracy of Casa and Fulton counties that they will be placed under the feet of a dozen or uo negroes who live there, ahould canoe these gcntieinen to exert all their energies to prevent so direful a result. Then we say to the gallant Democracy, yo rn. Though it snow, freeze, blow, or rain young niggers, go to the polls on Tuesday of next week and there assert that you aro afraid of a dozen negroes oppreaaing you; and if you should find any of the unfortunate beings on your returning from the polls, follow the example of your brethren io New Orleans and Memphis, and convince him that your proud Anglo Saxon blood revolts, and proceed at once to show that the ‘‘cuss” still cTings to him, and reduce him to his normal condition. And to the gallant leaders— McFaddex and Lauxlle —we say, go in on your muscle, and when you are re-elected, go back to the Legislature, draw your little mileage, postage stamps, stationery, Sec., and then resign. But do not so far forget yonr duty to your constituents as to resign before you get these little perquisites.
