snake alwayslicksits prey aIl over, daubing
it neatly with saliva, preparatory to swal-
lowing It. And excmplifcation of this fact
iri natural history Is exhibited just now in
the way in which the Democratic party are
slobbering over tho colored man, prepara-
tory to swallowing him. They have so pro-
found an esteem for him.! There really is
no color so beautiful in their estimation as
mahogany, unless indeed it be Jet And
they SO admire curls, that is, when they are
natural. And what they once said about
thick lips, and white eyes, and splay feet and
shuffiing gait, and ebo shins, and negro in
capacity and ltreachery and thievishness-
we'll, really, they meant it for joke, and it
was very great mistake, and they are sorry
if they hurt anybody's feelings, and so, you
know, 1--WE we're boys together, and let by
cones be by cones -and I say, Pomp, you

Colcred men, of North Carolina, beware
Of the snake !'iTke so called Democratic
party is the sworn foe Of the colored people.
The Democratic party does not wish to do
anything to elevate the colored people. The
Democratic party has not the power to do
anything to elevate the colored people.
The Democratic party has no excuse for
existence if it has ceased to war upon col
ored men Its occupation is gone" 1t is
a corpse and ought to be buried. 1t is in
decent in it to he walking around among
men, sheeted, and gi5bcring in the streets.
Why is history so soon forgotten? Was
it the Democratic party that made a war in
the interest of slavery, that rent the flag OF
the republic, that sought to tear its stars
from their places, that maddened the men
of the South, that hindered uenlistments at
the North, that mobbed negroes in the
streets of New York, that made to the
Moloch of secession whole burnt offering
of our choicest youth, that filled the land
with widows, and that consumrnated its
orgies by the murder of President Oh
is this only hideous dreamfL o. -9igaJ

The Democratic party has no right
make promises to colored men. It carries
lie in its right hand when it does it. VIII
it isn't long since Democratic journal spol

The Democratic party refuse assent to Z
validity of the 14th Amendment We doi
care what local papers and town pump p'
iticians may pretend. The Democratic pat
at the North are in deadly hostility to I
14th Amendment. No honest man can de
this. They do not regard it as law. Th
will not regard it as law. They are pledg
. in their platforms to its repeal, and rept
it they will if they ever get into power. Y
the 14th Amendment is the strong tower
, the black mans defence. It is the bla
mans magma charta. 80 '3''A' .''''''
