A SENSIBLE NEGRO.

L. neighboring town, on the 4th ofJuiy
My Co1ored Friends: l belong to the same
man belonged to when can first remember.
ae has always treated NE kindly, and he is q
perfect gentleman, and am a. gentleman, be-
cause have always tried to do my duty to my
master. | expect to stay with him as long as
we both live intend to do the very best for
Him can, and feel that in promoting his inter
est am doing but good service to myself:
Now, many colored people are Of the opinion
that the way to be gentlemen and ladies is to
have. nothing to do. Now l tell you people that
will do nothing will cut poor figure in the
world after awhile, for they will have nothing
TO go on. No true gentleman is lazy. If you
sish to be gentlemen anG ladies you must work
aud in order to do this successfully you must
have something to work with-you must have a
home, land, and means of cultivating it. If
you leave your former masters you can't have
these. [ have no doubt you have all the neces-
saries of life 10 greater abundance than you can
have after you leave your masters.
My advice is for you to go home, stay there
DO all you can to please and profit your masters,
and Heavens richest blessings will come upon
you. T.

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE PRESI-
DENT.
WAsHINGToH, July 9.


An address to the democracy of the United
States will be published tomorrow from Mr.
Charles Mason, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Association of this district, on behalf of the
President. 1t is intended more as platform for
the future organization of the party than a call
for immediate concert of action. The address
sets out with declaring that in the beginning all
democrats believed that peace and Union were
compatible and could be secured by conciliatory
measures, and that after the war commenced the
great mass Of democrats acquiesced in it as an
unavoidable calamity, to he prosecuted for the
sole purpose of restoring the Union; believing
that as soon as this object attained the war
ought to cease 1t takes strong ground against
comforting upon negroes the rghtsof citizenship,
on the ground that they are unqualified by edu-
cation, and a race so greatly inferior to the
whites as to lower the standard of average INTEL
igence by intermingling. This is declared to be
a white mans government, aud the negro a for
eign element which cannot be successfully assim-
Hated. The immediate icadmission of the rebel
lious States to the sacred circle, with all their
rights apd privileges unabridged, is also urged
on the ground that the federal government cam
not exist while portion of the States composing
it are free and another portion virtually enslaved
by military government The address declares
unlimited confidence in the wisdom, integrity aud
democracy of President johnson, concluding in
the following eulogistic terIns:-
at is hardly superstitious fancy which regards
him as having been specially ordained for this
great and glorious mission. The designs of Hca-
ven begin now to be visible throughout. At the
head of the reconciled and reunited democracy
of the two sections, Andrew johnson is, we be-
lieve, destined 20 repair and restore those cherish
ed institutions which have been SO fearfully shat
tered and seemingly overturned, and to receive
| the undying gratitude of a reunited country and
the benedctions of all future ages. BE it ours to
share in the consciousness of having contributed
to the same result" .. 81.

AN INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT
q - JOHNSON.

A letter from Washington gives detailed
account Of an interview between General Logan
and several gentlemen and President johnson.
The letter says:
ga gentleman present spoke of negro suffrage,
and suggested thst, 10 reconstructing the Union,
it would be necessary to disfranchise some lead
ing rebels and enfranchise others meaning loyal
colored people, OR that the case of the Virginia
Legislature re-assembling would be repeated
over again.
The President replied that, with regard to
the extension of suffrage, the sentiment of the
country at present appeared to tend towards
restriction rather than extension, Of the right
Of suffrage generally.
General Logan seconded the views Of the
President on the above, and then said that it
might not be polite to give the rebels the right
Of suffrage Immediately. He thought that it
might be found advisable at first to hold them
in sort of pupilage By military force. As soon
as they could be trusted, then give them the
same power they possessed before. The Gene
raj also remarked that the wheel Of reconstruc
ton was large and ponderous one, and that
many who would take their stand upon it would
be ground to powder. He had been fighting for
four years to save the Union. He now proposed
that those who desired to construct it might 60
in and see what they could do. For bis part,
he felt inclined to be rather looker-on than an
active participant in the contest which would
naturally grow out OF It,
"Tbe President said: General, there's no such
thing as reconstruction. These States have not
gone out of the Union; therefore reconstruction
is unnecessary. | do not mean to treat them as
inchoate States, but merely as existing under
temporary suspension of their Government, pro-
vided always they elect loyal men. The doctrine
of coercion to preserve State in the Union has
been vindicated By the people. 1t is the pro-
vince of the Executive to see that the will of
the people is carried out 10 the rehabilitation of
these rebelous States, once more under the au
thority, as well as the protection, of the Union
General Logan responded, That's so.
'The President then passed on to the ques-
ton of the public debt. He said that the
finances of the country were in hopeful con-
dition; that probably it was possible to resume
specie payments Immediately we're it cot for the
commercial distress it would create throughout
the country generally. AS to the public debt
Of the country, he was in favor of paying 1t to
the last dollar, and would never countenance
any man, party, sect or measure that even
squinted at Reputation in any form. The debt
was incurred to save the country. 1t was le-
gacy of the war; bequeathed to us for good or
evil. 1t was Lot possible to shirk it. On the
other hand, the great question would be to make
it, if possible, an instrument OF good, not evil,
to the public generally"

AN UNFORTUNATE OccURENcE.-On Sun
DAY 18th June, near Mocksville, Mrs Provo

negro woman torwery belonging to her. Her
daughter Miss Temple, Obtained pistol aud
shot the NEGRO through the heart. The parties
have all been arrested and the judicial iuvesti
cation will undoubtedly bring out all the facts
IN the case The occurrence is al unfortunate
one and much to be regretted at this time. The
relations between former master and their slaves
are very delicate, aud in order that they may
reach satisfactory footing, Incidents Of this
kind should be avoided aud are much to be de-
plored. Miss Temple is one of the first young
ladies in the county in point of position, beauty
and accomplishment, and all who know her sgul
pathize with the position IN which she is nov
placed, AID We satisfied that 1T will be d.e ia
ed justifable Salisbury Banaler., aa

killing wss justifable, no doubt. " "
