informed OF the result thereby creating the
impression, or leaving the public to infer
that our speakers did not attempt to meet
Judge Hancock, or that they had come off
second best IN the discussion, and it was good
policy to say nothing about it. In Justice
to Mr.. Ware, and that our holy cause NAV
not suffer by the suppression of the truth,
whether Intentional or inadvertant, let it be
known that at the appointed time Mr.
Ware was in Raleigh accompanied by his
townsman, Mr.. r. Cooper, but the redoub =

down the gauntlet, never made his appear
ance. After waiting until a late hour for
his .judge8hip who, though solemnIy called,
came not but Uholly made default Mr.. Ware
made an able and eloquent speech. Mr..
Cooper was called for who conceiving the
argument exhausted declined to speak,
but called for mOurners, when the Rev. Alb
Ward and Mr.. Hopkins came forward, gave
in their experience, and joined the Demo-
cratic Church by declaring uncompromis-
ing hostility to the Radical party, and
pledging themselves openly to vote against
the Constitution, upon which Parson Ward
shook hands, and he and Hopkins united
with every other person present, white and
black, in voting the same way by show of
hands.
Our speakers then proceeded to Sylvarina.
where they met Capt w III. Hardy and w

Do not split your ticket. Vote the
whole ticket, beginning against
Constitution and ending with the
nominees of the Democratic party
To vote for the Constitution, and for
Gov. Humphreys and his associates,
is to throw your vote away. We have
but one object in view. It'll to defeat
the whole scheme of Radical Recon
struction. To accomplish it, all past
differences of opinion must be buried !;
all resentments must be forgotten; all
must be waived, and the
friends Of Constitutional freedom must
stand together knit as one man in the
great struggle. The man who scratch
es his ticket gives aid and comfort to
the common enemy of us all.

Democratic Club at Clinton.

Editor Clarion. At meeting of the Dem
ocratic Club of Clinton, Mississippi, DR.. G.
E. Stokes was called to the chair, and in a
brief and appropriate address, he stated the
object of the meeting, and advocated the
claims of the party. DR.. E. Banks. in a
lengthy, eloquent, and Loyal League-demol-
ishing speech, elected great applause from
the whites and blacks, and enlisted several
of "the sable sons OF Africa" in the Demo
cratic army-fghting for the salvation of
the country.
Mr. E. w. Cabaniss, Democratic Candidate
for the House of Representatives FROM Kinds

WHEREAS, The time has now come in the
changes of the political affairs of our COM
mon country, when the united action of all
GOOD men interested in the welfare and pros
perity of our country, State and General
Governments, should be had in order to Sc
cure a hearty cooperation: We hereby So
licit the aid and influence of all conserva-
tive men, irrespective of party or color, to
unite with us in efforts to retrieve the land
and country from the ruined condition in
which it is now placed-to cooperate with
us in closing the breach now existing be-
tween the white and colored races-to assist
US in cultivating friendly relations between
the white and colOred men-that peace and
prosperity may again be secured to all =
THEREFORE, We, the undersigned citizens
of Clifton and vicinity, without distinction
of color, OF regard to former political differ
enees, in order to effect a more perfect or
ganization, for the purpose of uniting our
efforts and influence together-in order to
secure the attainment of the ends desired
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That the reso-
lutions adopted 10y the Democratic Associa-
ton of Jackson, be- and are hereby adopted
by this Association.
RESOLVED, That the differences now ex-
listing between the white and colored men
of our country, are injurious alike to all
parties, and should be corrected. We, the
undersigned, (white and colored) pledge
ourselves to cultivate friendly relations, and
to cooperate with each other, in our civil
avocations, and to assist each other, in all
respects possible, bearing upon our common
good support the laws of the land, and

WHY Is 1t ?--We ask the careful
reading, by every qualified voter of
either political party. of the following
questions
Why is the burden of taxation so
oppressive, and employment scarce !?
Why are there to-day hundreds Of
thousands of white men and women in
the North living in dread of starvation
within the present year?
Ii negroes are fit for freedom, why
has greatp poor house system for their
support to be kept up at the expense
OF Northern ind ustry
Ii che war was prescott ed for the
preservation of the Union, why are
ten States kept out of it?

The whites must vote in solid col
umn against the iniquitous Constitu-
ton. The intention of its trainers is
to deprive them of their biz tn right of
Freedom
The colored people must vote against
it, because, while it will secure to them
no privilege which they do not already
possess, it will load them down with
taxation, and organize a Government
of anarchy and discord-instead of
order and peace.
The people must remember that the
election which is at hand, has a signi
ficance beyond that of any other po-
litical event.
Do not neglect to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and to persuade others to
follow your example, whatever may
have been the illegal and blasphemous
oaths they have taken.

Editor Clarion: A large number of

by a number of colored men, to-wit ::
Jacob Cooper, Thos. st. Clair, Scipio

Smms member of the loyal league
and joined the Democratic Club and
exposed the tricks of the loyal leag-

WALTER SIMMs, colored, stated that
a man by the name of May, claiming to
be negro, came to Crystal Springs
about a year ago to teach a negro
school-established a school and or
ganized loyal league in negro set

Ero d cha New York Herald,
The Workings of the Hybrid
system.

The election in Washington City on
Monday was followed by fight be-
tween white and black electors on
Tuesday evening, in which some heads
were broken, some blood drawn, some
clothes torn, some windows smashed,
and one life lost. Upon one side the
blame of beginning the disturbance is
charged on the blacks upon the other
on the whites; and each story is be-
lieved according to the party sympa-
thies of the author. The Republicans
affirm that it was white fiends in hui
man shape, who, jealous that negroes
should be put upon an equality with
themselves, let slip their murderous
temper and weapons upon their unre-
sisting brethren; the Democrats that
it was fiends excited by their recently
acquired dignity, and inclined to re-
member and revenge past insults and
derOgations.
Be it which it may, it does not mat
ter. In either case it only proves the
antagonism. If it hau not been one,
it would have doubtless been the oUher !;
and in all probability the first blow
was only a signal for which both sides
were expectant and prepared. The
progress from covert sneer to open
insult, and from thence to fight, is so
mutual that there is no settling the
question who more than another is to
blame. 1t is like an inquest into the
behavior of the flint and the steel to
determine which was responsible for
producing confagration. The facts
show that the acknowledgment of the
negroes has produced state of socie-
ty tending to forcible conflict
Consequently, whoever is charged,
will have party upon mis- side; and
whichever way justice shall determine.
there will be party to arraign it for
corruption and Partially.
To this extent does the experience
already realized afford an augury for
the future Nor is it difficult to foresee
what will be the result. Political pow
er expressed in legal sections is int ;
mittent and uncertain but the forces
of nature are untiring and perpetual
The superior race will be sure to make
practical vindication of it's superiori-
ty; the boldest, cruelest, most ambi-
tious, covetous, and persevering order
will drive the other to the wall.

Letter From Brazil.

We have been favored by Mr.. A. NJ.

a letter from his son. member of
Major Hastings Colony, from which
we make the following extracts, show
ing the condition of the emigrants:
PARA, BRAZIL, May 6, 1868.
At the death of Major
Hastings the Government said the con-
tract of the colony died, and SO they
stopped our rations but we still tried
to get along, as we had our stuff grow
ing. But at last we had to abandon
our places and go to the city OF Santa
rem, to try make living for our fam
lilies, though that was in vain. Some
of us got work at one milrea a day
At this price we could not support our
families, and so we came here to Para
on the 1st We have lived in a shed
six days-twenty- seven of us-as it is
impossible to get a house, for there
is not an empty one in the city,
which is place three times as large as
Mobile.
Since Major Hastings died we have
had hard times. When white man
dies here it is hard matter to get him

ger died in the hospital, land they sewed
him up in sack and threw him into
the river. Some of our people died,
and we had to bury them in a blanket
Among these was William Dowd' S
wife, who died on the 4th inst, of
cholera morbus.
This country is rich and abounds in
fruits, fine timber, and good water
All this is good but the next thing ia,
we have 6 months that it rains day and
night, while the other six months it
does not rain drop. Another trouble
is the bugs and worms, and, worst of
all, the ants, which cut down the plants
as fast as they come up. / had fine
piece of corn and patch of potatoes.
Corn is all that does well in this place,
but some of the people planted
that five or six times and could not get
a stand.
The people will all leave the colony
by the next boat. Tell everybody that
speaks of emigrating to Brazil to stay
at home. A man can do we'll in Brazil
If he has money enough to live with

any other place; so if they have
plenty of money they can live at home
