The Conduct of the colored People.

Mr.. Lewis Jones, chairman o The Reform
party in Edgeaeld Coun-y, in calling a county
convention 10 meet yesterday, to take steps ror
securing State organization, says:
With an unanmty almost unparalleled, the
native white race sought the cooperation OF the
colored race. correct the evils under which the
State was laboring. In public addresses, as well
as in private conversations, they were tod Of the
dishonesty which Was being practlced by the
miserable wre:ches, who. with Governor
Scott at their head. were using their official posi-
tlons for their private emolument, without re-
gard to the interests Of the State; and they were
urged and entreated to join with the whites.
TO drive from our midst the horde OF hungry ad-
ventdSer5 who were fattening on our poverty and
destroyin0 eyssry source OF our prosperity by the
u .sn,esale system o, robbery and plunder which

few exceptions, bllndiy followed the co~.- -
those who, from ", rse than fendish motives,
poured into their 90 willing ears sentiments OF
antagOrlsm and hostility to the white race. This
condct on the part OF The colored race cannot pe
mistaken or misunderstood. BY II they nave said
to the naive whites: 'We want nothing to do
with you; we have the numerical majority, and 90
not intend that You shall have any lot or parcel IN
the management OF the AFFAIRS Of the State"
