Messrs. ditors:- find i tim last grissue of the Bed River News that the -a1Editors of that paper have taken it uponi enthemselves to publish that the colored of 1orator who spoke at Beulah Church on tramL. Saturday last, stated that "not a single ourf black man joined the party," and "that curthe assertion of the colored champion tunsof the Democracy is chtitled to credit, havand proves how for the Spectator bver- foolshot the mark. Wh: As I was the only colored speaker piepresent at the Barbecue, I suppose I am violthe one alluded to. If I am entitled to rigl"credit," I hope the Bed River News triawill accord it to me, when I state that ensthe account given of the Barbecue at deftBeulah Church by the Spectator is cor- tiorL reCt, and that "black men" did join the CoeDemocratic party at the time and place of istated. In conclusion, I beg to say that ZI made no such statement as the one at- tuttributed to me by the Bed River News. owi

witSEIZURE OP SOUTHERN RAILROADS tog1- BY THnv GovIItMIs4N.-The Secretaty of bir

war has inaugurated a new policy re- thegarding Southern railroads. Many of rieithese have been largely indebted to the to1 government for a long time on account poof material purchased at the close of the thewar, and most of them, although able, baihave persistently neglected to mlake pay- uni' ments. In all such cases it is in contom- grplation to appoint government receivers deito take full possession ot such roads and peccontrol and operate them till the debt the

' is paid. Several roads have already eime been taken possession of in this man: thner, which is in strict accordance with haithe terms of the contract entered into noga when the government material was pur- ma

a chased. Those roads which are re really ofunable to pay will be as leniently dealt tbhct with as justice to the government will cla

allow. reiy me

This effort, under every conceivable Pnamb and disguise, has always eharaos ato lized the opponents of the Democratic aparty, but at no time has the attempt cassumed so open and daring a shape as oin this contest The adversaries of freeconstitutional Government, in deflatoeof the express language of the Consti- atdtion,have erected a military despotismin ten States of the Union; hare taken cfrom the President the power vested in fhim by the supreme law, and have de- a*priveil the Supreme Court of its, jurle tdiction.

The right of trial by Jury'{ arid thegreat right of right-the habeas corpui-those shields of safety for every citi- asoen which have descended to the people aI of the United States from the earliest itraditions of our ancestors, and which aour Revolutionary fathers fought to so- ~t cure to their posterity forever in thefundamental charter of our liberties, chave been ruthlessly trampled underfoot by the fragment of a Congress. tWhole States and communities of peo-r pie of our race havebeen attainted, con-rioted, condemned and deprived of their 1rights as .itizeles without presentment, ts trial or witness, but by Oongressional ce onactmnt of as post facto laws, and in 4I defiance of the Constitutional prohibi-tion, denying even to a full and legalD Congress the authority to pass any bill 4e of attainder or ea post facto laws.

t The same usurping authority substi- .tuted as electors, in place of men 'of our.own race, thas illegally attainted anddisfranchised, a host of ignorant neogroes, who are supported in idleness Iwith the publio money-, and combined
