We shall not indulge either in complaint
or invcc.vc in reference to this arbitrary
military proceeding This community will
| illustrate that manhood which, folding its
arms upon its breast, rcprcsscs vain emotions,
and accepts with cquanimity, that which is
inevitable The strong man bound can do no
more,
The gcntlcmen rcmoycd-Major Theo.
Stark, Mayor, and Aldermen Radcliffe, Geig.
er, Walter, Fisher, Hunt and Taylor, have
the best wishes of those who elected them to
Office, and whose intcrcsts, as well as the in
tcrcsts of all in the community, they havo
sought to promote. Honor attends them as
they leave the Council Chamber Of this oity
With respect to the principle carried out
by General Candy, of placing colored men in
office, we have but to repeat what has already
been suggested in tho columns Of this paper
off tho negro has visions Of social and Pc
litical equality, lot him scok to realize them in
Africa Ifhc dreams of titles, and honors,
and office, lot him fill up in Africa tho meas.
urc of his ambition. If he dreams of empire,
and dominion, and power, and all that, let
him seek in Africa the fruition of his fanoies.
For him to try this role here, is madly to sign
the death.warrant of his race. Let him re.
member that it becomes him to be modest in
his pretcpsions, lest he bring upon his people
the iron hand of a mastor raco, upon whose
banner Heaven itself has PLACED tho omblsms
of victory and dominion.
