Ii Is folly To discuss any other question
now. 4 le whole future, especially in the
south, depends in great measure upon the
result of the next Presidential election. No
State Is secure. no mans liberties safe, while
the Federal government is controlled by
men who Will so much as consider measures
which the Republican party have repeated

nessee, the late example of Georgia, and the
present condition of North Carolina are
sufficient in themselves TO deter all ,consid-
crate men from any connivance at schemes
designed or calculated 10 weaken or divide

How the ". u. Tribune il an
Nwered.


Mr.. Greedy in the \. Y. TribuneF has
''ventured the following suggestions to
colored men," declaring that they emf
nate from one who wishes well TO their
race:
/ 1. Never resent nor deprecate the appIi-
cation to yourselves of the term negroes II
means only that you are, in contradistinc-
ton to your fellOW-citizeRs. black; and that
is the literal fact. Ii i in Your power to
make tie designation one of honor and
pride by simply behaving better than ether
/ nen-which cannot be very difficult. Let
VINO VIII call you negroes in welcome.
80 that you prove yourselves true men.
IL. BE far more anxious TO give your sons
good trades than to push them into office.
Office Is unstable and fieeting. while trades
| are enduring.
The advice i not well received by the
New Era, Fred Douglass paper, AT
Washington City. It denies both the
premise and conclusion Of the first propo-
sition as follows
First. '.Never resent nor deprecate the
application of the term negro. 1t means
that You are only in contradisfinction u
your white fellow-citizens, (black. and that
is the literal fact" Now this i not true,
either In conception or fact. and | am quite
surprised that Mr.. Greeley, man of such
close observation and acute discrimination,
and whose statements generally are so cor
rect in respect to men and things, should be
so greatly mistaken.
Therefore, according to Fred. Doug
lass, the negro is not black Naturalists
have been laboring under a mistake.
Again
Second advice is. THAT we would do bet
ter in giving our children trades instead OF
trying to push them into Office" This ad-
vice would be wholesome, all other things
being equal. 1t is well-known and estah-
lished fact that all through the Vest, East
and North there are organized associations
of mechanics who will not employ colored
mechanic nor work with him, nor learn
their sons trades-nOr VIII Others, Is a gen
eraI thing. employ colored mechanics. Now.
when the avenues TO trade and labor are
open equally to the colorcd as Ia the white
then will Mr.. Greeley's advice be decidedly
appropriate; besides colored men are not
likely to get more offices than their quota
when there IS such vast odds against them.
The reader will not fail to note that in
the ''loyaF States, Fast, West, and
North" the negro is tabooed as a me-
chanic, and not permitted to get employ
ment. This is the testimony of the lead
ing organ of the colored people in the
United States But no such allegation Is
made as to the South. Consequently the
objection to the Tribune's advice does not
apply to this section where the negro is
claiming to become the law-making power
Of the land. Unfortunately, however, for
the black race, none of the rising genera
ton in this section are learning trades.
The carpet-baggers have taught them
that politics is the only occupation worth
following.

From the Washington Chronicle.
The Conservatives, so-called. of North
Carolina, seem bound to make the most OF
their success, whatever that may have been.
ut the late election in that State. y few
nights ago 4 grand celebration was got up
ut Wilmington in honor of the election of a
Democrat over two Republicans in the 3rd
Congressional District. Every opponent of
RepabIicanism WAS of course invited to at
tend, and some two thousand persons as
sembled. Colonel Robert COwan made the
address Ofwelcome, and from persons pres
ent we learn that the scene reminded them
OF what occurred frequently in 1861, when
it was supported in that latitude that an
KEGS would not fight. There was the rebel
flag displayed. and there were some of the
SaLne men under it. Colonel Cowan grow
ing eloquent with his subject said, in sub
stance, THE principle which we rejoice over
tonight are The same as those for which
George Washington died and Jefferson Da-
Wis suffered" n sympathetic individual
in the crowd at this juncture called for
three cheers for JEFF Davis and the old
Cayotte yell made the welkin ring
These facts we have from reliable author
lily. and we merely give them publicity to
victory in that State.
In the procession formed on the above oc-
casion, we are reliably informed, that only
two colOred men. to their credit be ii said,
took part. One of these was drunk and the
other was locked up the next day 10 answer

The Failure OF sIlc CarPcI-Esag
Governments in the South.

Nothing can be more patent than the
fact asserted ia the above caption. The
administrations Of the reconstructed gov
ernments in the South so far as they pro
fess to represent the people, are imposi-
tions. They are the off pring Of Military
government, and were forced upon the
people in violation Of their right of self
government. Take the case of Alissis-

zeal party.

riously corrupt and infamous agents were

whose groundwork and the materials of
which obey are composed are rottenness,
are falling to pieces. The recovery by
