CoLoRED PoLIr1cAL MEETING SPEECH
OF An WADpEIL, -EsQ.-lA- political
meeting of the colored citizens OF this city
was held in the African Baptist Church last
night, for the purpose of hearing the remarks
of A. NJ. Waddell, Esq, who had been in
vited to address the colored people on the
political questions of the day. -,
Mr. Waddell in his remarks said that this
was the second time he had been honored
by the colored people of the city with an in
vitation to address them that he sought
not these invitations, but was always ready
to give them the benefit of his services in
addressing them on political topics, and
such advice as he was able to offer. He had
said in his previous speech that he was in
favor of qualified suffrage and believed that
it was the only true rule to be governed by,
but that the Congress of the United States
had decided this question and we must ac-
cept it as so decided. He believed that it
was the duty of every man to aid in the re-
construction of the State and restoring it to
its place in the Union that the system of
military government under which we live
was contrary to all principles of American
ism and Rcpublicanism, and that every man

struction. Much sound and reasonable ad-
vice was contained in this speech, and be-
fore its conslusion the speaker asserted his
determination to vote with the Republican
party in all reasonable measures; that he
was opposed to all extremists and extreme
measures, and asserted as his reason for this
course, that in North Carolina he knew of
but one party organization and that was the
Republican party. Much more the gentle
man said ere he concluded, but owing to the
lateness of the hour we are compelled to
defer fuller report until tomorrow, when
we will endeavor to give comprehensive
synopsis of his remarks.
The address of Mr.. Waddell was received
with much applause. Other speeches fol-
lowed, and the meeting finally adjourned,
after manifesting evident satisfaction at the
proceedings Wilmington Journal

THE POSITION OF TIE REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC PARTIES. ax2fF
A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A WHITE REPUBLI-
CAN AND A ooLoRED oTTIzEN.

The following is dialogue between q
newly enfranchised freedman and sound
Radical Republican. The new-made voter
is seeking light upon the subject of his .po-
litical duties, and his Radical friend gives
him plain facts, and demonstrates clearly
with which party he and all like him should
act. It would be well for colored voters
generally to seek out some tried Radical
friend and question him upon all subjects
about which they have any doubt. The dia-
logue is submitted with the hope that the
facts set forth therein will remove doubts
from the minds of many who have been I'M
able to receive proper information upon the
position in which they should stand at this
time

"Many persons who use kerosene or
coal oil lamps are in the habit, when GO

of turning the wick down low in order

The consequence is that the air of the

consumed oil vapors of the gas produced
by combustion, and also by the minute
particles Of smoke and SCOT which are

We are often asked, aWbat is gossip2''
We answer, in general way, that It is
talking of persons rather than Of things.
Nothing shows the paucity of ideas more
than this talking about the affairs of your
Deighbor. It is only malicious people
who originate scandal; it is narrow mind
ed people, ignorant people, stupid people.
Persons of culture and intelligence are
not so hard run for topics of conversa-
ton. They can usually find something
to say about art, literature, fashion, OF
society. The moment people begin to
talk Of their neighbors-of persons rath.
er than of things-they are apt to de-
generate into scandal; for where one
speaks Of the virtues Of an acquaintance,
a dozen expatiate on his or her short
comings. And this brings US to speak Of
real culture, or what We consider to be
such, at least. A cultivated person, in
the highest sense of the term,is not mere
liz one who can talk of books, pictures,
and other elevated subjects Of human in.

Striking out the word .sWhite,, in
Ohio.

Less than ten years ago, gentleman,
who afterward became pretty well known,
had his attention called to the subject
which is now being agitated before the
people of Ohio, whether they will strike
the word "white" out Of their Constitu.
tion, and admit the negro to entire po-
litical aud socialequality with themselves.
This gentleman being thus interrogated.
and being the candidate then Of great
party, whose views it was important to
learn, made the following response:
awhile | was in the hotel to. day, an
elderly gentleman called upon me to know
if was really in favor of producing a
perfect equality between the negroes
and the white people. will say, then,
that am not, nor never have been in
favor of making voters or Jurors Of me-
groes, nor Of qualifying them to hold of
fee, nor to intermarry with white people;
and / will say in addition to this, that
there is physical difference between the
black and white races, which | believe
will forever prohibit the two races from
ever living on terms of social and pelit-
ical equality, And inasmuch as they
can net SO live, while they do remain to-
gether there must be the position of su-
perior and inferior, and Las much as any
other man, am in favor Of having the
superior position assigned to the white
race"
Our Radical friends and fellow citizens
are probably of the opinion that these
sentiments we're enuncia.ed by some pro.
slavery "Copperhead Democrat" In
this they are slightly mistaken. The
gentleman whom we have quoted was no
other than that late lameuted Radical
Saint, Abraham Lincoln, who expressed
them in debate he had with the Hon
Stephen A Douglas, then his opponent
for the United States Senate. The re.
marks we're made at Charleston, Illinois,
September %, 1858.
The question we desire to ask is, i
that was good Republican doctrine then,
why is it not now?

preventing the possibility of any
discord after marriage; the second is the
best and surest preservation of feminine
character"
"Tell me. " said Louisa anxiously.
"The first is this: Demand Of your
bridegroom, as soon as the marriage cere-
mony is over, solemn vow and promise
yourself never even in jest, to dispute or
express any disagreement. I tell you
never--for what begins in mere banter
ing will lead to. serious earnest. Avoid
expressing any irritation at one another's
words. Mutual forbearance is the one
great secret Of domestic happiness. II
you have erred confess it freely, even il
confession costs you some tears. Further
promise faithfully and solemnly, never,
upon any pretext or excuse, to have any
secrets or any concealments from each
other, but to keep your private affairs
from father, mother, sister. brother, and
the world. Let them be known only 70
each other and your God. Remember
that any third person admitted into your
confidence becomes party to stand be-
tween you, and will naturally side with
one or the other. Promise to avoid this
and renew the vow upon every tempta
ton. It will preserve that perfect cor
6dence, that union, which will indeed
make you as one. o, if the newly mar.
