A correspondent, writing from North
Carolina, tells a good story Of the an
swer of a negro to Greeley man who
was ur2ing a group of negroes to gOand
listen to the eloquence of DO0litt1e.-
He told them they were willing tohear
one side only, and were as much slaves
as ever they were, inasmuch as they
were destitute of that candOr which is
so characteristic of the white politician.
The negro answered: "We doesn't
know dat, sah, but we does know that
we, can't be tied up and whipped any
irlaore; dat our wives and children, can't
be sold away from us, and dat we has
the money we earns; and we knows de
publican party done git us all dat, and
wese gwyne to vote de publican tick
et."- The Greeley man would not give
it up so, but instantly retOrted by ask
ing the black philOsodher what better
Republican hewanted3 than Greeley :?
He told him how good man Greeley
was, and what friend he was to the
blacks, though he does not seem to have
said anything about Greeley's labor to
bring about peace with the black
mans master, while the black man was
toremain aslaye. But the man OF one
idea was immovable and even impene-
trabIe. His only answer was: tDat
may all be, sab. 4 We nebber learn
muffin about it, but dar must be some
thin wrong wid Mr.. Greeley now or
youuns wouldn't be for him." 7@ IL.
