THE SPIRIT OF. CONTENTION.

When controversy is honestly employed
as the means of ascertaining the truth
fulness of any assumed position, its
agencies of illustration, proof, conclusion
and inference, may, in the hands of q
master show good intellectual training or
TIE possession of great natural abilities.
But when it takes the form of spirit of
mere contention it is harmful to the cor =
troversialist and to his hearers as well.
1t requires the existence of very culti-
waited, Or else very rude state of society to
produce persons able enough, or thought
less enough to argue for mere arguments
sake. Addison, Steele and Swift in Eng
land we're allowed the license o. displaying
their knowledge to people who could ap-
preciate the. display, and perhaps profit
by it; but had Washington, Jefferson
and Madison abandoned earnestness for
contention, and attempted to display
their knowledge instead Of using it as in
case of life and death, they would never
have given us the perfect system of re-
publicau;sm we possess.
The pertinence of these remarks will
be appreciated by those among our
people who think more of their reputa-
tons as smart men than they do of help
ing to make other members Of our race
smart; or still better, they win be under.

Mrs. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
appears to have thought better of the
policy of playing into the hands Of DEM
ocrats by assailing colored legislators
In a recent speech she seems to have be-
come very sweet upon the class she
thought it best to attack in one of her
lectures here. Mrs. Harper is sensible
woman but she fell into the hands Of q
queer sort in this city.

EYES TO THE RIGHT.

Our emancipation and enfanchise
1aent came with such sudaeness and
produced such surprise that We were
ready to accept al events as proyiden-
t.al and to recognize anybody rs friend.
The eolored people would not 60 back
~ themselves and the carpet baEgers
dared not 1t is true that the very first
campaign proved that it was white
mans Office and black mans vote
when We're most earnestly sought after;
and that the seeking was nearly all on one
side, nor can we say that The aspect ofaf-
airs has chan ed much. The belief still is,
shat tie negro has the most to lose in
clse of our party's defeat, and the belief
il so often expressed that we recur to it
to say in reply; the blackman belongs to
:his SOL.
He has mastered the secrets of cotton
and sugar productions; he defies the dis
cases peculiar to this region, and he sup
plies the numbers necessary to the sue
cess ofany political organization. Did
the occasion present Itself the democrats
would solicit his vote with more aviditv
than the republicans have ever exhibited,
and the co.ored man is he ther ignorant OF,
nor indifferent 70 THIS. The franchise
of the negro ought neither to be handled
rs doll is, in the lap Of an over conf
dent girl, nor spurned with the careless
ness of &; petulant boy. The negro is to
be weighed in the same balance Gith 9th
or mon, and his value is to be measured
by the same standard.
A good republican has no reason to
'listrust us as a people, y bad one has
no claims upon us. All that has been
won, has been won by the republican par
tv-has been won under the colors of
Africa in the main, and it would prove
IS treacherous as IL will be disastrous, to
change these colors. Yet there are OBJ
jects for which We set out, and ends still
unattained which calls for the most care
al rcview, and the most vigilant and ear
nest pursuit Let both elements OF our
party, unite iii frames and devotion
70 secure them.
1t is still true as il the olden time
that the doors of the house of God are
shu. in our face, except upon the condi-
ton that some imp of prescription shall
open them, and colonize us in the gallery
of the church. Our wives and daught-
ers are still denied the elovatirg assist
ance of the concert room and the lecture
hall, unless they take seats N some pro-
scribed box, while their white Irish SER
wants sit on the audience hoor-and
this against tho law and with the sane
ton of republicans. There Is still sig
llifcant scarcity of our white friends IN
those haunts which prescription has al
most entirely devoted to us, except up
on the eve OF conventions OF elections.
But as significant Us these things may
be in one direction, they have their es
pec;al uses in another. They assist il
pointing ont TO the colored people the
white men IN or party who have .ultilled
the two first conditions of true fellow
ship; those OF meeting always On a lev
eli and Of always parting onthe square.
We know and honor, every such white
man in our midst-their names are PIE
.. rs to us and their labors are appreci

TILIDITY.

One CT the peculiariies of slavery was
determination to unite all interests in
its own support. Its defenders sought
shelter under the mosaic dispensation,
and dragged ct once the silence OF the
Savior and the utterancss of the apostles
to their assistance. Under this state OF
things it is not TO be wondered at that
they were almost always successful in
the attempt to create breach between
free colored people and the slayes. What
the free people regarded in themselves
as contemptious feelings for the slave
was nothing more than sense of help
lessness on their own part: they were but
the fringe of a well woven system and
merely dangled in their precarious
positions, rs its accidental surroundings.
These free people have not only
brought their old ideas into the new era
by idly boasting of their having been free
before the war, but they furnish pain
full Illustration ofthe degrading influences
OF oppression by the distinctions they
keep up in serving the customers of their
various callings.
The statement would scarcely be be-
| lieved outside of America, that barber
will refuse to wait on State senator for
no other reason than that the State
senator is colored. Neither would it be
credited that colored State senator's will
for mere policy's sake grant social re-
cognition to such BARRIERS. But the evil
goes deeper still and strikes a more
dangerous blow at the interests of oul
race these BARRIERS and all who depend
upon white natives for patronage, in ef-
feet repudiate their own manhood by re-
fusing even to vote, for fear they will
ALLEVIATE proslayery customer.
There are colored men among us who
in eir.professions, have had the opportu-
nifty OF learning more, through their wide.
spread patronage, than any one Of thei,
customers knows, and who could turn
what they do know to better accoun,
than one half OF the white men they
serve, who nevertheless truckle to the
vile prejudices and sanction the wicked
prescription which they themselves de-
nounce in theaters and churches. Ii il
not painful evidence of our degrade.
ton that the diabolical spirit which has
been driven from white bar rooms should
find refuge in barber shops, kept by ne
groes, and Influence the action at the polls
of negro cotton samplers?
= We have the numbers, if we only pos
sessed the courage to command both
the respect and patronage of all who
need our services in any capacity. 1t was
sworn by many white man that h
would not recognize negro votes yet
he mas not only since recognized theil
validity but taken his seat in the Senate
upon their authorization No negro, i
was said by them should ever hold Office
and yet every day Governor Duur
and Administrator lewis are importunet
for place, to be given to some white
man who ten years ago would have
snapped his mother to get slave Lee
us drop our timidity brethren and thel
it will be easy to exchange barber shol
for bigger place of business.

against the latter gentleman he is neither
