THE RECENT. ELECTION.

In an article on the "Submission oil
Southern Whites" in this issue, we take
the ground, Inqualifiedly, that the MAORI.
ty of the Southern people are heartfelt in
their loyalty to the United States govern.
lnent. The recent election proves conclu-
sively the truth of the statement in the
same article that the minority are superb
cial in their new found allegiance ; for in
many instances prominent Union men
those who were identified with the Con-
sentative or Peace party during the war
have been defeated on account of their
Unien sentiments. It is with reluctance
we publish this fact to the world, but
our duty as truthful c~hroniclsrs of events
obliges us to do it. The immediate in
huence of this election on the reputation
of the State may be modified by the act
ion Of the successful candidates when they
take their seats in the convention ; but it
is to be feared that such will not be the
result. Men who entertain the Dltra-rebel
views expressed in the South Carolina and
Alabama conventions are members Of the
body which meets here next Monday, and
hey will not be able to keep down the
'ebellious spirit which possesses them
The judgment of many good men in the
viii be biased by the acts of this
and the whole State will be held
s~Bponsible for their doings.

THE COLoRED CONVENTION.

The Convention of the colored men
Methodist African Church yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, about one hundred
and twenty delegates being present.
Mr.. JOHN GooD, of Craven county, was
appointed temporary Chairman, and
Messrs. JOHN RANDOLPH and GEORGE W.
PRICE, also Of Craven, were appointed
temporary Secretaries. . Committees on
credentials, to prepare rules for the gov
eminent of the Convention, and on per-
manent organization, were also appoint
ed, after which the Convention took a re-
cess until two o'clock in the afternoon
The natural disarrangements of u of
fee, occasioned by the hurried issue of
this, our first number, prevents us from
giving a full report this morning. Next
week, however, we will furnish our read
ers with the proceedings, official and en-
tire.
So far, this convention 10 credit to
the colored men. 1t has been dignifed
in its proceedings, and the general tone
n manner Of the members almost
unanimously has been conciliatory and
conservative. Mr. Coop, the temporary
Chairman, and Mr.. RANDOLPH, the Score
tary, have given evidence of q knowledge
Of parliamentary law which is as praise
worthy as unexpected. The leading
members are earnestand honest in their
desire to preserve peace and harmony
and their efforts in that direction are nm
firing. The courtesy exhibited yester-
day by speakers towards each other, is
remarkable, and we hope that this
pleasing feature of the convention will
DO maintained throughout its whole sess-
ion.
II is faiS TO predict from what we have
already seen that this first effort of the
colored men of the State to tax. their
Positions as free and independent citi.
80 ~A, 80 far as they are concerned be
a.dscided success.

MIR. GREE Y,s ADDREss-

In our issue to-day will be found the
moderate and christian-like address Of
Horace Greeley to the colored people Of
North Carolina. His admonitions to ba
hopeful, be patient, be peaceful. be dill
gent, to respect themselves and to "a.
main where they belong, should be dulv
needed by those for whom they are in.
tended. No one, who is acquainted with
the character of the freedmen, can for q
moment doubt that he will be hopeful
patient and peaceful. Years of unre.
Quilted toll and servitude, patiently and.
peacefully endured, hoping for the ssday
of jubilee" prove this. But in their new
surroundings they can be taught to re-
spect themselves more than they do.
The system of slavery which generated
in them qualities of patience, peaceful
ness and hope, also deprived them to a
a certain extent of the spirit of manhood.
How could a slave respect himself-the
property of another But now he is
free, and without restraint will be en-
titled to t'life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" as he can gain it by honest
endeavors, and will therefore, as q natu-
raj consequence, very soon assume the
dignity Of q free man, commanding re-
spect from all.
The love of home and familiar locali-
ties is one Of the most prominent fea-
lures of the character Of the colored man .
They cling to old associations with q to-
nacity that is remarkable, and already
thousands of the refugees from slavery
are returning to their old homes. Mr..
Greeley need not be afraid that they will
become a race of wanderers, unless forced
to it by the vindictiveness of their late
oppressors.

NALUTATORY.

rLo ;asue of this paper, to-day, adVo
uo+;no the truly republican principle Of
m.;rsrsal Suffrage, marks an era IN the
history Of the State of North Carolina,
"nS +he undersigned is proud Of the fact
+h.t he is the humble instrument deslg-
"o..d by the Supreme Intelligence, which
~noDtrolS all things, to effect it, Six
mortbs, Just past, have placed u be-
1.ved country in a position far advanced
towards the realization of that glorious
narisd when, in practice as we'll as theo-
~, our government will be truly demo-
oratic. During that time an unholy re-
hellion has been closed, millienso Of bonds
men declared and acknowledged to be
free, and the doors of the South have
been opened to Free Speech and Free
pross. An American citizen can no"
ornress loyal sentiments in any section
If the United States without tear OF per-
.oral violence. The contrast which this
dav presents, in its generous promuiga-
ton of opinions, to the t~yrannlcal re-
str;:tions imposed on certain classes ID
.ba South a short half year. since, is be-
vond parallel, and the fact will be re-
corded BY the future historian as an al
most miraculous victory-ef the principles
of free government.
But the victory is only halt accom-
" n II -
plished, and to aid in its full realization
the JOURNAL has been established The
theory of our government is "the con-
sent of the governed" as expressed
through the ballot-bOx in their votes for
rulers. Manifestly, then, every citizen,
who is not disqualified by crime, or some
other equally cOgent reason, should be
allowed q voice in making laws to which
he is amenable. This right is now de-
MED to persons of African descent, the
denial being based on an unreasonable
prejudice, which, however, is entertained
by Many eminently good men in all sec
tons of the country. The removal OF
this prejudice and the establishment OF
laws based ON principles of true equality
the education and elevation of our pee
pie, and the building up the regenerated
South on a firm and lasting basis of. Re
publicanism, are the objects to which this
paper is dedicated.
With the above brief statement as his
platform, the undersigned assumes the
editorial control of the JOURNAL OF FREE-
DOM He Is comparatiVely a stranger in
this community, and his principles are
stranger still ; but he hopes by honora-
BILE dealing with all to gain respect for
himself as a man and perhaps for his
doctrines. EDWARD P. BROOKS.

BRrcApmRyGENERAL G.. b. F1sK.

BR1GAD1ER-GENERAL @. b. FISK, Assis-
tant Commissioner for the Freedmen's
Bureau for the State Of Tennessee, Alabama
and Georgia, has recently been address
ing the people Of Tennessee on the policy
Of the Government relative to Frcedmenys
affairs. He recently addressed the inhabi-
tants of Spring Hill, Tenn, on the same
subject /; after which, he was presented by
a series of resolutions, endorsed by large
numbers of citizens, in which they heart
lily endorsed the action Of the Govern
ment, and expressed their intention to
faithfully carry out the wishes of the
Government in respect to the Freedmen.
RrcHMoND has at last a thoroughly loyal
paper. The MeO Nation is edited by
JAMES w: HUNN1OUr, formerly Of the
fredericksburg Christian Bonner, and it
tells great deal Qfhonest truth.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
The only prominent delegate in the
South Carolina convention, who, by the
reports we have received, seems to have
a due appreciation of the changed eondi-
ton of affairs, is JAMES L. Orr. BE has
introduced measures looking to a reor-
g~anization of the State government, in
detail, so that it will be a nearer ap-
proach to the voice of the. people than
heretofore. In striking contrast with
Mr.. ORR truly democratic loyalty, is an
effort. made by MI. WILLIAM Wallace, a
stay at home rebel, who presented reSo-
l~utions recognising the arch-traitor az
former noble and beloved Chief
Magistrate, Jefferson Davis" whose
blood the "fanetics of the North" are
shrieklng for. The ordinance of Secess-
ion vas repealed. merely repealed.-
Slavery except as punishment for crime,
after due conviction, was abolished in the
State forever. The spirit of the whole
body was decidedly rebellious. Messrs.
Conner, Wallace and Rose were appoint
ed as a delegation to Washington to in
tercede in behalf Of jeff. Davis. Presi-
dent Johnson's policy was endorsed.

TIE Provost Marshal of Freedmen. al
Shreveport, La, has arrested the Sheriff
District Attorney, Judge and Jury of the
Ninth Judicial District, of that State for
trying 9 eolored man On a charge Of lar
ceny. 1t is claimed that jurisdiction over
Freedmen, during the existing i~nterpreta-
tion OF the civil law, belongs exclusively
to the Freedmen's Bureau. The Judge
will take q n appeal and has given notice to
that effect.

Many entertain fears that the free pro-
mitigation of opinions in the South will be
violently interfered with. We are not Of
that class, as the establishment of our
paper most emphaticaly asserts. We be.
lieve that the Southern people are now
honest in a desire to hear both sides of
every question, and that they will tolerate
free discussion of loyal opinions at all
times. In this connection the following
from a recent speech of Professor Greene,
OF Rhode Island, before the National
Teachers Association, will be interesting,
rejecting as tdoes the ideas of those afar
off, .
Education must be diffused throughout
the South. Black and white poor white
and rich white, must be educated. Not
to educate them is to prepare for another
civil war. To keep up perpetual Jealous.
les, hatreds and abuses, as has been the
case for the last thirty years, is only to
cherish the cancer that has been gnawinp
at the vitals of our republic. Shall it be
done any longer7 Gentlemen of this assc.
citation, let MS buckle on the armor, and
meet the new exigency of our times. Be-
tore the war no Northern teacher dared to
discuss the whole truth at the South. In
morals there must be one code for the
North and one for the South. There could
be no free discussion in all u political
contests. Southern men could come be-
fore a Northern audience and speak their
freely, even villify with impu-
nifty our ways and institutions, but the in
slant q Northern man attempted at the
South to utter sentiments at all condemna-
tory Of Southern institutions or Southern
life, he was forced to leave the country.
Is it to be so nowl Can we not as edu.
gators go boldly into the Southern Statess
md teach the truth If not, IprGy God
hat martial IGW may prevGI in every
Southern State till Northern men may
liscuss educational, political, social, moral,
md religious topics in every part Of the
south as freely as in Faneuil Hall"
