viii pour its overlooking waters through the de-
serted channels, and cause the waste places of the
land to bloom and blossom like the rose. The en-
terprising emigrants of the northern states viii
come here by tens of thousands. Is any one mad
enough to dream that such land as this is to be
given to its aboriginal condition? It is much
more likely that the barren north will be sarren-
dered to such condition than the fertile and
sunny south. IF we win not regenerate our iand
if will not stand to our colors and develop the
material greatness of own SOIL there enough
who can and will. Even foreigners show more
intelligent confidence in our future, as exhibited
in the plans of the French company, under the
auspices of Napoleon, than those of our own peo-
pile who forsake their native land. But if they will
give up their country to others, let them not COM
plain that they never recall that gift If they
will part with their birth-right for mess of pot
tage let them remember that, like Esau, they will
find place for repentance, though they seek it
earnestly with tears They may come back to the
land they have deserted, but it will be no longer
their own. They viii be strangers amid the graves
of their kindred. They will find the south land
of stirring life and activity, with great cities and
harbors crowded with the shipping of the world;
but the race that inhabited it will have pas
sed away. It's peculiar social life will have ceased
to exist Other men, other customs, and even
other languages will prevail in their ancient home
The south will be dead; and once dead, where is
the Premethean spark that can that light relume?

man. and suppose we give the franchise to all
without regard to qualification is it right to force
it upon them in opposition to the majority? We
must have controlling power somewhere. If we
should go to the State of Ohio with the intention OF
changing the franchise there, would it be right :?
It is not for the government of the United States
to DO. Each community can determine their own
affairs better It is for the legislature and people
of Ohio to say who shall vote, and not the Con-
gress of the United States. Now is anything
wrong?
l. Douglass Yes, Mr. President, with all due re-
spect to you, think good deal sewrong.
The president. If know the feelings of my
own heart believe that forced state of things
driven on q community, will result in their ruin
God knows, anything can do will do to elevate
the race and soften and ameliorate their condition
The president urged upon the delegation to Gull
tivate the idea that the black man has the right to
emigrate from the state where he has been held in
bondage If he is not properly treated; he Is not
obliged to live on the old plantation.
Mr.. Douglass We thank you, Mr.. President
for kindly giving us an interview. We did not
come to argue, sir; but if your exceency would be
pleased to her. / would like to say word IN re-
gard to the acknowledgements of the blacks, and to
show you that the difficulties only be avoided
by the very measures we propose Let the black
man once have right to vote, and he will raise
up party in the southern states who will rally
with him. There is this conflict that you speak of
between the wealthy Shareholder and the poor
man.
Mr. President: You touch right upon the point
there. There is this conflict, and hence I suggest
emigration. If he cannot get employment in the
SOUTH he has it III his power to go where he get
it. In parting, the president said that they were
both DESTROYS of accomplishing the same ends, but
proposed to do so by following different routes.
Mr.. Douglass, on turning to leave, remarked to
his fellow delegates: The president sends to the
people. and we will have to go and get the people
right.
The president: YES sir I have great faith in
the people I believe they will do what is just,
and have no doubt they will settle this question
right, and hope that it vii! be submitted to them
for final action.
The delegates then bowed and withdrew.

THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL.
WILMINGTON, N G., FEBRUARY %, 1866
sampson County Rectus Incuria.

Our readers will recollect that sometime since
an allegation was preferred against the county
court of Sampson for selling free negroes into
bondage The facts are as we understand them
sometime before Christmas, Mr.. Richd Holmes,
the Captain of the county police, having reasons
to apprehend an insurrectionary movement was
afoot. sent a communication to the general COM
handing this district, apprising him of the condl-
ton of affairs and asking for instructions in the
premises. He was directed to exercise discretion
arv powers. Sometime after, negro fellow was
brought before him in his official character, and he
was sentenced to be imprisoned for costs and fees
until the amount was paid. The negro very natu-
rallv, wishing to avoid close confinement, made
some outside arrangement to labor for some one
unknown to the writer, until the amount due was
iquidated The very head and front of Mr.. HIS Of
Tending hath this extent no more. Upon the
charges preferred against Mr.. Holmes an lnvestl-
CATION was instituted and carried to its just con-
clusion-the exoneration and commendation OF
Mr. Holmes
The Wilmington Herald of the 18th says this is
considered as the final decision of the affair, and
it is matter of congratuation to all good citizens
that the result has proven Captain HOlmesto have
acted in such manner throughout the whole at
fair, as to merit the hearty approval OF the gov
eminent authorities. The following Is the extract
referred to:
81 find upon thorough investigation of all the
allegations made against Capt. Holmes, that not
one of them has any foundation III fact 49,
every exerton made to arrive at perfect
understanding of the whole matter, that all facts
might be presented to the bureau in the proper
light, and after rigid examination Of all the facts
in the case, feel fully justified in saying that
Capt Holmes is exonerated from any blame IN the
premises, but on the contrary from sufficient evil
dence, am convinced that he is the right man in
the right place, and that no man could better sub
serve the interest of the county or the govern
ment."

GENERAL SHERMAN MAKES A SPEECH.-General
Sherman was honOred with public reception in
Detroit last week, when he concluded speech as
follows:
q never expect 10 again command military
force. We too powerful for peace to be
destroyed i'll the future by domestic
foreign foe. The country has too many men such
as those whom I now see around me, some of
whom accompanied me through the pine forests of
Georgia and the Caronas for its quiet to be lightly
disturbed. Applause. Michigan herself alone,
and certainly when backed up by Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin, could raise an army large enough
to not only repel, but crush any force power
that should dare infringe upon borders.
[Cheers. Our national affairs will shortly be
stored to safe and permanent basis Congress,
when it has finished certain amount of talk, as
all popular assemblies must, will speedily settle all
questions. [Appause.l A year ago you
anxious for the army which had the honor to
command. It had disappeared from your sight;
you heard nothing from it, and knew not where it
was, nor where it was going. Exercise equal faith
now, and matters will come out we'll Cheers
know the man at the head of affairs at Washing
ton, and all we have to do is to trust him. APP
plause. Exercise forbearance and patriotism,
[applause] and give the president our hearty and
earnest support. Applause. We certainly have
q bright prospect before u.s..

the first thing to be ascerained is the number that will
the necessary will be adopted for the

privates, of course both ncuded-Rdletgh Sentinel
When we peaned our remarks to which the
Sentinel alludes, we thought the idea of taking
measurement at the time the applicant gave his
name, would not only save time, but also
expense to the State. Individually it makes but
little difference to ushow the thing is accomplished.
but it seems to US when contract is to be made,
