principles recently enuHclafeQ al halelSe or
not-their doom is sealed, and the day of
their exterminatien but question of time.
Whenever the issue lis made, the best citi-
zens, and in fact the whites to a man will
enroll themselves with the white mans party.
We do not wish to see things come to such
extremes, for We know that the negro race
will then go down in darkness and hideous
ruin, There will be another st. Domingo
slaughter in which the whites will triumph.
Let all sensible negroes take heed and use
their influence to avert il. Salisbury Banner.
This British reaction should teach our
Northern precipitationists useful lesson.-
But from the sad experiences of the past we
are assured that raslicalism of any type stays
not its deathful hand short Of suicide. Then,
to the drivers of the infuriated beast we
would say :sdDo your dark work quickly
The execution of your fanatical measures
will precipate your doom. ~,
These remarks preface what we want to
say in regard to the attitude of the blacks
! concerning the Convention. The calllron for
some time has been seething and foaming
and threatening an overboil. This same
| catastrophe Tor blessing, from our present
stand point ne can't say which, is about,to
occur. Fresh fuel has been added to the
political flames. The mengrel scum has
risen to the top of the pot The air is laden
with an horrible eff1uyia of the /" Compound
extract" of lank Ezekiels and thicklipped
,Ebo-shins. The great, the eventful day,
big with the fate mot of "Cato and
Rome," butt of the mongrel scherners is
nigh at hand But seriously it is a matter
of no small concern to know that the policy
of the negroes is, to rotsadown Convention in
| order to bring about confscation of the lands
| of the uhites They know that, if the Con-
gressional reconstruction measures are de-
feated, no matter how nor by whom, Con-
,gress is only too anxious to avail itself of
the pretcxt to culminate the. doom of free
institutions in this country, by making of
the South a Poland, of the North and West
a Russian despotism under the sacrilegious
style ola Grand Centralized Republic. Hen

The tone and bearing of some of our col
ored population have been very different
since the Radical Convention here in March
last, from what they were before that affair,
and they certainly are not improved, but
made worse, by the late Convention held in
| Tucker Hall. When he is designedly made to
| iOei, tudG uC-lo dA CHuoi, III OIOCi W SCO ulo
vote, by set of white skins, (who, by
| placing themselves on an equality, are no
better, if as good,) it is not surprising that
| the negro should feel his keeping. When
white men can sit cheek by jowl in a politi-
cal Convention, with colored men of that
class who do not hesitate yauntingly to
/ claim to be equal, and to handy the lie with
each other in their presence and show signs
of fight and riot, they, of course, can no
longer claim superiority in any respect
| Such exhibitions as were made in Tucker
Hall, at the late Convention, would have as
| tonished and outraged the liberty shriekers
of FanueiI Hall. - Raleigh Sentinel .,5..
The Raleigh Radical Convention was the
most disgracefat and .disortlerly political as
sembly ever congregated together before. and
the atrociOus sentiments enunciated by many
| of the speakers, both white and black, would
better suit a pandemonium of lost spirits
than Convention called for the apparent
| purpose of discussing the political issues Of
| the day. The presence of a few hitherto
\ respectable white men but made the con.
trast more vivid, and the complete over,
| throw of their faint exertions in favor Of
moderate sentiments but displayed in more
odious colors the devilisli feelings actuating
the greet body of mean whites and negroes
there assembled
| Not redeeming act marked the whole
course of the proceedings, and at the same
time blow has been struck at speedy re-
construction Which will require long time
| to heal. 81 su sS5 :sEs. ~. II S

Much as we dislike to bring the issue be.
i fore our people, We can no longer disregard
/ the signs of the approaching storm, and the
insoIent overhearing disposition displayed
! by the negroes at Raleigh and elsewhere
\ clearly foreshadows an absolute determina-
ton on their part to bring about as speedily
as possible a war Of races, and to meet this
will call for the undivided exertions of the
whites Our moderation and forbearance
| has met with just such return as might have
been expected from the base born minds OF
the negroes, and any further concession to
their insolent demands would be doing gross
injustice to every Southern white man. We
have not yet made up our minds to surren-
der the control of our local and State affairs
to ignorant'prejudiced negroes, and believ-
| ing this to beia white mans government, we
think it absolutely necessary to form white
mans party, with tile issue distinctly drawn
between the two, and while willing to ac-
cord all just rights and privileges to the
| colored race we yet avow our determination
| to never willingly see them usurp the reins
ofgoyernment, for which they are SO utterly
unfit in every respect - Iar0oro Soaitherner.
