The Democrats in the South and West seem to be going in for negro suffrage in good earnest. A negro club has been brought in great state at Raleigh, N. C., who take a prominent part in the Democratic State Convention. At a great rally of the Democracy of South Carolina at Aiken, recently, two negro orators were prominent. In Alabama, the Democrats are enlisting negro speakers, who urge the darkies to vote the straight ticket. Albert Pike calls upon the negro Democratic club of Memphis to come and get their cards of membership, so that they may have the credentials of their political soundness always on their persons. In Louisiana the Democrats have got a black orator, who is as effective with his people that the Radical darkies have mobbed him. So it goes all through the South. The Democrats are leaving off their opposition to negro suffrage and going in upon the opposite track. Of course, when they do this, they will soon have to give up entirely Wade Hampton's and Frank Blair's notion of depriving the blacks of the ballot after election. That may do when you can win without them ; but when you call them in to fight for you, it must be on a footing of equality and of fair dealing.—Sun.
