DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN NEW LIGHT

According to previous notice, a portion of the
Democrats of New Light District, met at the store
Of Laws & Tate on the 9Th inst, and
On motion of w. C. Mangum, Wyatt Emory was
called to the Chair, and G. N. Rogers appointed
Secretary.
The Chairman, on taking his seat explained the
object of the meeting in brief manner.
On motion of W. c. Mangum, the Chair appoint
ed committee of three, to prepare resolutions for
the action of the meeting. The committee consist
ed of the following: w. G. Mangum, G. NJ Rogers,
and G. Barlow. t-..s

Resolced That we concur in the action Of the late
Democratic State Convention, which met in Raleigh
on the 9Th Of March last and that we pledge our
cordial support to his Excellency John W. Ellis, as
our candidate for Governor.
Resolued, That we invite the cooperation of all
good and true men, by whatever name they may
have been heretofore called to join with us in sus-
tanning the Democratic party, the South, and the

while that State has many. We will take care OF
our negroes, if Mississippi will take care of hers
Each has right to decide for herself what shall be
the relation of the negro to the white man within its
own limits and no other State has right to inter-
fere with its determination ~
On that principle there is no "irrepressible con-
fict;" there is no conflict at all. If we will just
take care of our own negroes, and mind our own
business, we shall get along very we'll and we ask
our southern friends to do the same, and they seem
pretty well disposed to do it. Therefore, | am in
favor of Just firing broadside into our Republican
friends over there who will keep interfering with
other peoples business. That is the complaint
have Of them. They keep holding up the negro for
us to worship, and when they get the power, they
will not give him the rights they claim for him;
they will not give him his inaenabe rights. New
York has not given the negro those malienable
rights Of suffrage yet The Senator from New York
represents slave State according to his Speech
because New York does not allow the negro to vote
on an equality with white man. 1t is true, in
New York, they do allow a negro to vote if he owns
$3.50 worth of property, but not without. They
suppose $3.50 Just compensates for the difference be-
tween rich negro and poor white man. laugh

allow the poor one; and the Senator from New York
thinks that is system OF slavery. 1t may be let
New York decide that; it is her business. do not
want to interfere with it. just let US alone We
do not want negro suffrage. We say "non-inter

the neg roes at the polls, that is your business if
you want them to hold Office, so that they do not
come here, give offices to them, if you choose; if
you want them for magistrates, that is your bust
ness; but YOU must not send them here; because
we do not allow anybody but citizens t, hold seats
on this floor; and, thank God, the bred Scott case
