The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1868-04-29
...-..Thc .DaiI, st..a.ra.

We commenced the publication of the,
Daily Standard on the 14th of, January last,
and We have continued it tothe present time
free of charge to our Tti- Weekly subscribers. i
But we find that the Daily wilrnot sustain
ITSELF and as the extra expense of its publ
cation is quite heavy. We must discontinue
it for the present. The iTri- Weekly will he
published as heretofore, and sent to those
who are subscribers to it. Those who have
paid in advance according todtheA terms Of
the Daily will be duly credited ON the Tri-
Weekly. ~ lIa ieliaaH i3si,' 2 itiis O.
We shall continue to furnish as usual, in
tbs Tri- Weekly, the latest telegraphic news.
We appeal to our friends to aid us in in
creasing the circulation of the Standard J;
and we hope those who are in arrears will
pay up and renew. Look for the cross mark
and renew, or the paper must be discon-

Every ire-tried white Republican in the
State feels grateful to the colored people for
the frmness and unanimity with which they
have stood by the Republican cause. Our
colored friends have shown themselves wor-
thy, not only by thc'remarkable propriety of
their behavior in the campaign and at the
election, but they have demonstrated to the
world that they are possessed in high de-
gree of that chief requisite to manhood and
citizenship, to wit, tirmness and determine
ton of character. No people in any civil
contest have ever met and overcome greater
temptations than they have. They have
been equally unmoved by artitice, trickery,
falschood, persuasion, offered brides and
threats. They are poor and landless, but the
| rich oligarchs could not succeed in buying
more than one of them in ten thousand
They have preferred the jewel of liberty to
every thing else 1seH .-a ~
Without the aid of the colored voters it
would have been impossible to reconstruct
| the government on a loyal basis and with
,out that aid, every fire-tricd Unionst in this
State would have been this day under the
iron heel of mercilcss Rebel power. Let our
white Republican friends remember this, and
let us keep faith to the utmost with the
loyal colored people who have given us their
votes, and who would pile up their bodies,
if necessary, as a sacred offering TO the cause
of Liberty, Union, and political Equality.

The present is a suitable time t" repro
duce the above from the Standard of No
vcmber last. Time and trial serve only to
confirm its truth. The colored people oi
the State have shown themselves cniinently
worthy of the liberty which the nation has
bestowed upon them. 1t is true, few OF
them have deserted their race and voted
| with their enemies, but it would have been
a marvel if every one of them had voted
with us. The Saviour of mankind had his
Judas, and the American revolution had its
Arnold. So it is with the colored race Lei
no one hurt these monstrous ingrates and
traitors Only let the colored people cut them
off from all social recognition and sympathy
AMI treat them as if they had no existence
Like the mark put upon the brow of Cain
this will be punishment greater than they
can bear.
