For the OtaIluiio
Call to the eoIsred People In Nersh-oaroilna'
WHEREAS. God in his wonderful proyl-
1ence has bestowed the inest1mapie plessing
of free schools to a wide extent upon TUG
colored people of this State, mas meitipiieei
them in number beyond expectatlon ana iiu-
nan f,resipht. and shown great favor to the
enternrise so that many thousands OF our
neonie have come under their bcnehcent in
fluence-and whereas, the success OF these
schools is no longer an experiment, but an
established certainty, proving the susciptl'
biIity of our race to a high degree of I'M
movement and culture-and whereas, We're
cognize the free school system as the great
hope of the present as well as coming gene
rations, giving to US an open Bible, ana RAJ
sing us intellectually, morally and sociaiy
to a higher manhood so that, while without
these schools we necessarily remain IN an ~
norant and degraded condition, with them
we rise in respect to intelligence, wealth.,
virtue prosperity and all that constitutes
hiober order of civilization-and whereas
it is evident that the present system OF lnaiil-
tanning free schools for our people cannot NC
permanent, nor of long continuance, anu Tue
time seems fast approaching when the coior-
ed people of this State must take upon thehi-
selves the responsibility, labor and expense
of maintaining their own schools-theretore
we. the undersigned, colored citizens OF
North Carolina, take this method of appeal
inc to our brethren throughout the State
and inviting them to unite with us IN Gaining
a Convention to meet in Raleigh on the
second Monday of August next at 9 O'Clock,
A. NJ for the purpose of forming, II deemed
expedient, State Educational ASsoct0ta0@ OF
coiored people, whose object shall be TO pro-
vide for the establishment and support OF
free schools for our own people on the broad
est scale possible, and to devise and employ
means to secure for such schools the greatest
possible efficiency and success.
AS we firmly believe in the true democra-
tic doctrine that, in such an enterprise, all
mower necessary to be used is derived from
the people in their collective capacity, and
can be properly welded by individuals only
as delegated by the former, therefore our APP
peal is to the people, whom we respectfully
request, in the various localities to when
this appeal may come, to hold puoiic meet
ings for the appointment of delegates to rep,
resent them in tue proposed convention: anu
act in their behalf.

IT has been said that Gov Worth was and
is vet good and true Conservative, 1t has
been denied and l think with sufficient
array of proof to satisfy any one. What has
Gov. Worth done to prove himself good
Union man? Didhe not IN the first place suffer
w A. Graham to take him by the nose, and
lead him out candidate for the express pur-
pose of disorganizing the party! " hat
kind of Conservative and Union man Is
this that allows himself to be made tool
of? In the next place he has with one eX-
ception appointed straightout bitter Seces-
sionists to office such as CIV. Mordecai,
President of the State BankNHhos. Bragg,
the embodiment of secessionism Director In
the State Bank and one of the managers in
the Insane Asylum. He has appointed Dlrec-
tors in all the Railroads so as to have Seces-
sionists to supercede the Union Presidents
and Directors appointed by the Provisional
Governor, W. W. Holden. The exceptional
case is that of State Geologist, W. G. Kerr,
and I have no hesitation in saying that If
there had have been within the limits OF the
State single man who could have made any
pretence towards Geology of the Secession
stripe, Professor Kerr would not have been
appointed His appointment was inevitable,
there was no other man in the State upon
whom he could bestow this office. Professor
Kerr is a very learned gentleman and a true
Conservative. He is the ri ht man in the right
place Gentlemen, is 1t true that birds OF q
feather flock together? If so then there is
no trouble to decide who Jonathan's friends
are, there is no one half so fond of his COM
pany as those who refused to vote for the
Ordinance declaring null and void the Ordi-
nance of May 25th, 1861. these self same
gentlemen have not signed the parchment
upon which this Ordinance has been engrav-
o1 nd Of fbnr- CIV oIiy
Gates of President johnson.
1t is no longer in doubt as to vino the can
didate for Lieut.. Governor will be- The pa
pers state the fact that d. D. Ferebee of
Camden County is the candidate on the
Worth ticket. Who is Mr. Ferebee? He is
one of the very bitterest of Secessionists. He
refused to vote for the Ordinance above al
luded to, he was in favor of taxing the peo-
pie to pay the rebel war debt. in fact by re-
ference to the Journals you will find that Mr.
Ferebee voted with Eaton, Clark, Manly,
Howard q Co., generally, and especially on
all political measures. The Sentinel endorses
Mr.. Ferebee. It's the Governors organ and of
course its we'll understood that Mir Ferebee's
to have nice time riding ON the Worth
ticket. Now gentlemen, ii the people suffer
themselves to be deceived by Gov. Worth,
with ID. d. Ferebee on the ticket they will
not deserve to be pitied. If Gov. Wortll's
acts alone were not all sufficient to satisfy
every man, then the endorsement of Mr..
Ferebee is knock down argument and
places the whole matter beyond controversy
as to who Jonathan expects to get his aid
from. propose, Messrs. Editors, at future
time to give some what in detail some of
the important acts and deeds of Gov. Worth.
and with the assistance of the Journal some
of the measures and votes of Mr.. Ferebee.-
