The Reform Party Is an Honest Party.


The decisive victory in North Carolina
was achieved practically upon the basis
of the same platform as the one we are
standing upon. and through which the
people of South Carolina intend to carry
their election; and one Of the most sub
stantial arguments in refutation of the
slander that the Union Reform Party
mean not well by the colored people, is
seen in the present action Of the people
OF North Carolina. They carried their
purpose, got them the victory, aud now
they are holding fast to the promises
made to the black man, and they WI! car
ry them out TO the letter Of tl'c law. AnI.
so will South Caroli":;, do if the coming
election decide: that we snail have an
honest government and if tho colored
1'ccople listen to reason and vote as
becoues free men and to their best
interests. We copy from the address OF
the North Carolina Central Committee,
and the argument is conclusive;
They say: eve very we'll know, fcl.
iow-citiZcns, that this is not a mere par
ty triumph. Let US not forget that it is
a victory due in 4 great degree to the
uprising of honest and conservative men
of all parties. The election returns show
that thousands, who in the former elec.
tions voted with the Radical party, have
come to cur aid and helped US 10 win
the signal triumph which now gladdcns
our hearts. Even the colored race, con-
trolled as it hitherto has been by evil
counselS and gross misrepresentation OF
our motives and purposes as to them, in
many portions Of the State, in very con-
siderable numbers, broke away from the
tramnels in which they werc bound,
and materially aided in swelling our ma
jorities."
And again: 'STo the colored people
we say, fear nothing. We pledged. our.
selves in the legislative address, issued
in .Larch last, that all their rights under
the Constitution and laws Of the country,
i n case Of our success, would be alike re.
spected and protected with THOSE of white
ci,izcns. Time will show that these
pledges will be faithfully redeemed. We
know that efforts will still be made to
alarm. delude and mislcad them, 70!
without their aid the faction that has
Jus, been defeated will hereafter be pow.
erless. The interests Of thL white and
co,ored races in North Carolina are the
same, and what Injuries one will surely
and inevitably result in injury to the
other. Let there, then, be no strife be-
tween them. Let each respect the rights
of the other and peace and harmony will
prevail. "
The election in North Carolina has de-
monstra ted two facts. First, that the
only mode of redemption for the South
is By the nnion of all honest men of all
parties against the rule and government
of those who have devastated and de-
graded their States and oppressed their
people; St cond, that the trucst interest
of the colorsd race are with the white
race of their own soil, on whose pledges,
endorsed BY the l4th and 18th amend
ments to the National Constitution,
they may rest safely, in amity and peace
L
for the guarantee aid protection OF their
common rights.

THE CHURCH AT NEwBERRr.-All the
pulpits of our town were occupied last Sum
day, which has not happened before in some

Mickle and Hawkins, respectively filed their
own puIpits-thc Methodist, Presbyterian
and Lutheran. Rev. Mr.. DuBose, of Able

Episcopal, for the pastor, Rev. Edward
Miles, who has for several weeks been ab-
sent in Georgia. The communion was ad-
ministered. The Rev. Jno. Stout, of the

the principle involved so forcibly illustrated
as in the last Woman's Journal, in review.
ing the doings Of our late Constitutional Con.
vention
It will be remembered that, at the open.
ing Of the late woman suffrage campaign
in this State, this same journal, then in a
blissfully hopeful and patrouizing mood, paid
the following tribute to the people Of Yer.
mont:
" Ii il probable that nowhere in the United
States can community be found, so well pre-
pared 10 take this great Crowning step in pOiti-
cal progress as is the State Of Vermont More
than lour-fiths Of her people arc of native birth
They have been trimmed in an efficient school sys-
tenn Of free schools where boys and girls have been
educated together Churches and Sunday school,
exist all over the State. There are fewer oilers
and stmggcrs than elsewhere There are no
large manufacturing towns and cities. no ox-
tromes Of wealth and poverty. The people are
mostly intelligent farmers and their families, till
ing their own land and calling no man muster.
Probably no equal number of people in the world
read more and think more than they During

the invaluable lesson of self help. They know
how to respect the rights OF Others and maintain
their own.
Blu, The action Of our late Convention
seems to have changed all this, and the same
journal, in its last issue, vituperates as follows:
The Vermont Constitutional Convention has re-
icctcd % proposition t1 give the ballot 20 woman.
hy vote OF 23l % !. They iloutcd all discussion
OF the question, and voted IL down with the ut
most alacrity so one cogiMnt Of the bigotrv.
uarrOwncss and general Ignorance that prevail IN
Vermont will be surprised at this result. It's
not progressive State, but the contrary. Great
stress has been laid on the fact that " Vermont
never owned slave, and from this it has been
argued that the Granite State is and has been es-
peciallv liberty loving But during the two brief
visits we made % the State last winter, we were
told again and again, By the Vermont men, that
the only reason for the non-ntroduction of slave.
rs was the impractinbilty Of TINT form of labor
among the Green Mountains; that slavery could
never hnye been made profitable there and that
this, and not principle, and heroic love of free
dom, prevented Vermont from becoming slave
State.
Nowhere. not even in the toughest and remot.

The Rev. Mr.. Benton.

Our friends of the Burlington Free Pres
seem to be strangely preiudicod against tn
arguments Of the opponents Of the proposition
to change the mode of amending the Con.ti
tuition; and also against at least one Of tn
members of the late Convention, who oppose,
that proposition. That gentleman is the Rev
Mr. Benton, of Maidstone. Al the close o
the debate on the sixth article Mr.. Bantol
obtained leave to address the Convention TO
few minutes, but instead of using the tim,
granted, he limited himself to a few sentence
on single point, extracted from a writer
argument on the question; and for this-th,
point and the style of 1.-THE Free Press ha.
INDUCED degree of satire and contemp
hardly justified by the occasion, and certainly
unkind to the Rev. gentleman We grant
indeed, that if the editors of the Free Pres
really felt that their shoulders alone bore the
weight Of the great town Of Burlington, that
burden Of dignity and responsibility might
naturally lead them to put on airs, and scorn.
fully treat the little town Of Maidstone but
we have been in the habit Of thinking that
the editors of the Free Press are far above
conduct so ignoble, and we shall be glad ever
to think so.
Without doubt the editors of the Free
Press thought the remarks Of Mr.. Benton
were irrelevant in matter and stited in style;
but they were not irrelevant, they were fair
answer to the gentlemen who objected that
the Council of Ccnsors was an antiquated
body, unfit to be tolerated in these DAYS of
progress-in which, by the way, the fast
trains are quite often bound to destruction,
through badly constructed bridges. Nav the
sixth article prove safe bridge over which
to pass future amendments to the Consttu-
ton but such is not our expectation. We
do not believe that it will be safe. Now as
to the style it would have been far better
had our friends adopted the old Latin rule.
instead Of offending a good man Mr.. Benton
has served in this county, as he is now serving
IN Essex county, as clergyman, and he has
many friends who esteem him for good quail
ties of head and heart. Though not familiar
with such bodies as the late Convention. he
has talents that are not dcspisod or under
rated in other fields, and he is Of race that
has done aud is doing excellent public ser.
vice in Vermont and New Hampshire, some
of whom have ranked, and still rank as the
peers at least of the editors of the Free
Press, We think the assault upon Mr.. Ben.
ton is not to be justified on any reasonable
view Of the matter. Had the whole speech
been uttered or published, it is more than
probable that the Free Press would find reas.
ons for respect, if not for admiration.
