TEMPORARY sUsPENsIoN.

In our last issue we announced to our
readers the fact that the JOURNAL has
been SO successful in establishing itself
on a permanent footing, that we are en-
couraged to make additional OUTLAWS Of
money in the purchase of a complete
printing office. In order to do this, we
are obliged to suspend publication for a
few weeks, during which time we propose
to go North after the material.
We shall soon return, and when we
get our new harness on, our friends and
enemies may rest assured that We will Ia
Dor with renewed energy for the cause Of
justice and humanity. We have strug.
glsd hard against high rents, and have
met with great opposition in our business
capacity, on account of our principles
but we are surrounding all difficulties
and feel confident that we will succeed
To ensure success, we must labor inces
sanity, and our friends must do the same
thing. During our absence, they mus
double their efforts in our behalf, ant
when we return we promise to recipro

PoRTENToUs.-A national flag was
raised over our State capitol during the
session of the Convention, but the flag
staff broke under the pressure OF a high
wind and it fell to the ground. Will the
efforts of the Convention to practically
place the State under the old flag prove
futile? We don't believe in signs and
portents, but we do think hat such will
be tho result, and we shall rejoice over it
as a victory over injustice and tyranny.
If the Convention had not; coward like,
lodged the matter set forth in the Freed
mems petition, the State would have
been much better off. IF it. had come out
manfully and acknowledged the justice
of President JoHNsoN's policy regarding
negro testimony, its efforts, like the flag,
would not have fallen to the ground. As
it is, they are on their way down now,
and will reach the earth about the time
our representatives ask for their seats in
Congress.

THE WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS FROM
THE SOUTH

Of the many paragraphs on this subject
published at the North, we select the fol-
lowing as ~evidencing a decided change in
public opinion
sit is possible, as we frequently hear it
said, that it can be seriously designed to
withdraw from this the troops of The Uni
ted States? This would be an act of su-
preme m0dSeSS, handing over the. friends
Of the Government helpless to the malice
of their adversaries. Should such an event
take place, zoe could haze no safety but in
flight. "-PriVate Letter.
The Withdrawal of all the troops from
the South except the garrisons on the sea.
coast, which has been heretofore loudly
demanded in many portions of the South,
is now. most heartily deplored, and piteous
appeals are reaching the military authori-
ties here to have them retained, especially
the white troops, because of the fears of
violence at the hands of the freedmen.
The white troops in the South composing
the movable portion, which will be ready.
for any emergency, will be, composed
henceforth almost entirely Of regulars.
The colored troops will only do garrison
duty.-New York Times Wash. Special.
The only objection we have to offer to
offer to the above is the intimation that
the Freedmen will commit acts of violence.
We know there is no danger Of such a
thing now, for these people are as quiet
and submissive as could be expected,
Long years of -servitude have resulted in
the production of a submissive character
which is only in danger of being over
turned by the constant suggestion Of crime
If people continue to talk of Instructions
they need not be surprisedto hear of them
but repose~ confidence in the fire edmen, anC
they will trouble no one.

Our ADvERTIsERs.-Few and far be-
tween are the advertising favors which
we receive, and yet they are already more
than we expected. Messrs. Bowen &
Randall, No. Is Fayetteville street, ap-
preciating the fact that the colored trade
of the city was worth something, and
that advertising is a mere matter Of bus
mess, were the first to venture their
names in our columns, Their advertise
ment speaks for itself, claiming truthful
y that they have on hand a large and
we'll selected stock of ladies' furnishing
goods, &c. The HLady'sO Own Store" Is
a place where all should call before pur-
chasing elsewhere.
GEO. z. FRENCH & Co., on Fayetteville
street, understand the use of printers
ink, and the benefit of the colored trade.
The assortment of goods in their estab-
lishment is as extensive and varied as is
to be found in any store south Of Balti-
more, and speaks well for the energy and
enterprise Of the firm. Purchasers q
find most anything there, from a cambria
needle and a gallon of molasses to q
pitch-fork, and an excellent article of
whisky, including dry-goods. and, every
thing else that man, woman or child can
need In summer or winter,

The most disastrous. evil resulting from
the slave system, which has retarded the
advancement OF the South in years past,
Is the ignorance of the mass of voters,
n their consequent amenability to the
influence of demagogues, who in turn
increase the evil by commanding state
officials, and others high in power, as to
the disposition of patronage. We know
that in the late Constitutional Conven-
ton there were men who freely acknow-
lodged the justice of allowing freedmen to
testify in u courts, but they were afraid
to announce their belief publicly because
the demagogues; appealing to the preju-
dices of the ignorant, would cry out,
"nigger-lover," and the consequence
would be, to use the words of one gentle
man, " bad men would creep into our
places" This assertion may net be filled
+, with excessive modesty, but it is fraught
with wholesome, though ~unpalatabIe,
truth. It clearly shows why the leading
men, and nearly ali Of the ofice-holders
of the South, have been such fearful and
INSCRIPTIONS demagogues. To retain
positions, where they modestly assumed
that they could benefit the country, they
have been obliged to truckle and pander
to ignorance and prejudice, and bave
thereby given these anti-Republican ele-
ments a frmness which years cannot up
root. Craftsmanship has been degraded,
and a false idol set up, before which men
of talent and ability unhesitatingly
kneel, and in loud voices pay their de-
voirs, so that their constituents may hear
them. From what we can gather of the
private conversations of both the Union
and Secession leaders of the late Conven-
ton, we infer that not a single one of
them was averse to the admission of ne
gro testimony into our courts but where
is the man who has dared to announce
such opinions openly? There are such
men, but their honesty prevented them
from taking seats in the Convention.
They appealed to the common sense Of
the people, and relying on the justice of
their positions TO overcome prejudice,
they were defeated as candidates for the
reason that ignorance and ~demagogue-
ism is the ruling power in this as we'll
as other Southern States.
There is no justification for this con-
dition of affairs in the oft-repeated asser-
ton that demagogueism prevails in some
of the Northern States. 1t is as base
there as here, and in SO far al it is sue
c~essful, demands equal denunciation.
The people of the North, with all their
boosted purity and loyalty, have often
times been lead astray by policy men and
time-servers. Even now the politicians
Of the Republican party. in New York
have sunk It's principles in cowardly con-
eiliatory platforms, abandoning the firm
basis on which the organization rests to
propitiate the votes of the prejudiced and
unthinking n~egro-haters. In Pennsyl-
vania, Mr.. CESSNA, the Chairman OF the
Republican Central Union Committee
did the same thing by publishing a let
ter, which states truly enough, that ne
gro suffrage was not a question OF the
campaign, bat which betrayed g coward

A PROMINENT North Carolinian say the
report is correct and believed by the pol
iticians of that State, that the names of
their Congressman elect will be entered
upon the roll of the House, and called by
the Clerk at the opening of the session.
We opine that the prominent North
Carolinian" does not call to mind the
fact that several rebel States sent up del
egations after their representatives had
seeded, and that the clerk established a
precedent, by allowing their credentials
to go the House for investigation. As
the war has not been declared at an end;
it is quite probable that any representa-
tive who may present credentials to the
next Congress from a rebellious State,

what principle is involved. Gov. HoL-
DEN claims to be the Administration can
didate; but the members of the Cenveu-
ton who have nominated his opponent
also support the President. Gov. HoL-
DEN claims to be the Union candidate ;
but MI. WORTH is supported by men
whose record is as clear, if not clearer,
than Mr.. HoLDEN's s. LEWIS HANEs, OF
Davidson, quondam private secretary, is
an instance. Neither of the candidates
have announced compliance with Presi-
dent JoHNsoN's policy regarding negro
testimony. In fact, they stand virtually
as they did previous 10 the war on the
slavery question, except in so far as cir
cumstances have altered the situation,
The rebel war debt of the State cannot
be a question in this canvass, as that sub
ject was finally disposed of by the Con-
vention. So all charges that either party
are for or against it are mere bosh. To
US it looks like a struggle for plumber and
position, and we are like the old man
who looked on while his wife fought the
bear, remarking that he "did'nt care a
d-n which whipped"
