Ono thing is certain, to wit, sinco their elevation to power they havo exhibited much greater solicitude for tho condition of tho black man than thoy have for that of tho "poor white laborer" for whom they professnd, prior to the presidential election, to havo such tincero and sympathetic regard. They have turned loose the slaves of the District -of Columbia and sent the "contra bands" taken by the army into the North orn Slates, to sharo the labor and wages, nay to divide the lat crust, with the poor white laboring man. Thoy havo passed 1 through the Senate of the United States, a bill to removo all disabilities of color ;u carrying (be maib, virtually making a negro eligible to the office of postmaster. And now they arc urging tho indiscrimi nate confiscation of rebel property and many of them advocate the direct emanci pation of a.l the slaves iu the slave-holding states, the succ3 of either of which pro positions, would have precipitate up.ou the country four millions of black who would have ,to earn their living side by tiilo with the whito laborer and eat of tho bread that is now for him alone, or suffer death iiivc itably from want and staryation.
