ter. His charity has always remained at
home. Mark what we say He denounced
the convention Of 1858, with all the bitter |
ness he could command. As late as this
spring, he continued his assaults upon the
Constitution. He has never yet said one
word in praise Of IL. And among other
topics, he did not forget the coIored man.
Upon him the vials of Mr.. Turner's wrath
were poured in q constant stream. He helped
to organize the white mans party, and doubt
less he is q member of the white brother
hood vet. But he says he is coming over to
the colored man. With, ,treachery in bis
heart, falsehoods and ISLANDERS on his lips,
he is coming over to them, MS he went over
to the Democratic party, in the hope of am
nesty, revenge and public plunder. he does
not tell them that they did right in electing
Holden, Settle, Pearson, and others, in
adopting the constitution and voting for
Grant, hut he tells them that now they
have their rights without his help, he has
made up his mind to be their friend He
praises the action of the Walker Republi.
cans in, Virginia; but he fails to, say that
the Walker men have done only what the
entire Republican party did in this State
oyer o year agoJ5p He praises Virginians
for doing what he has denounced, yilli6ed,
sandered and DETAINED. in his own fellow
citizens for accomplishing against his re-
monstrances and curses In regard to am
nesty and pardon, his tortuous conduct has
been contemplate. In regard: to the adop-
ton of our own free constitution, better
than Virginia's, his silence is inefably mean.
And his sly, satanic. approaches to the col.
ored man are worthy only OF an Abandoned
and dissolute man. We 'denounce him,
then, in view of all we have said, as trail
tor to the whig party of North Carolina;
traitor to the Union, a traitor to his Union
allies, an interloper and a traitor to the
Democratic party, and a would-be traitor
to the Republican party. In order to secure
pardon for his treason, he sold himself to
the Democrats last year. This year, without
one word of praise for General Grant or Con-
gress or the State administration, but on the
contrary with ISLANDERS against all of them
upon his tongue, he offers himself to the Re
publican party. And he is accompanied by
other corrupt and degraded Democrats.
| We do not want them They are unworthy
of the confidence of respectable colored men,
| and worthy only of the fellowship which
| they have solicited and obtained among the
rowdies, bullies, riff-raff, rag-tag, meanwhile
men, whom they gathered together by the
cry of ''we are the respectable party OF
North Carolina" Yes, we say, gathered
together by this cry as yeritable a pack OF
ours and hounds as ever snapped at the heels
of gentlemen. For they flocked into Mr..
Turner'S dog kennel of white mans party
to shield themselves from the consequences
of exposure as criminals and vagabonds, to
be the puppies of rich men and bark at theil
superiors from between the legs of their mas
tiers. We repeat, we do not want Mr.. Tur
ner and his mongrel crew of whelps Of
high and low degree. He may lead hi
horde of street scavengers to some othel
market, for he cannot trade even one of hi
puppies to us as, "liberal Republican.
The only use we have for them is to maxi
them into political sausages for rebel barbe
cues and kuklux raids, and they are poo
meat even for that purpose. So Mr.. Tur
ner, you can pass on. Whistle up you
dogs and seek another market.
