The following extract from a
North Carolina paper shows what
estimation the colOred people are
held in by the Democratic party.
The letter was published in the New
York Tribune-the mouth-piece of
the party-July %:
1 have heard very little said, eth
er in Charoltte or Greensboro, about
Mr.. Boutwell's financial statements.
His array of figures meant nothing
to the people who heard him. Not
one negro in ten knows the differ
ence between 81 900 and $1,000, 900,
or which is the greater.
This is the reason probably, why
the Tribune thinks some of the col.
ored voters of the South can be fool
ed into voting for Greeley. If the
colored people are so ignorant, as
Greeley's Tribune says, as not to
know the difference between one
thousand and one million dollars,
they will find that these voters do
know the difference between the

whaled jeff. Davis.

A Gross Lie.

Tabbs Gross, a colored man, who
during the war was a substitute
broker among his race in Cincinnati,
and skinned them most egregiously;
who was also concerned in running
horses to the rebels, and in bounty
frauds upon discharged colored SOL
diers, came to Cincinnati few days
since from Arkansas, where he has
of late been living on his gross
profits thus obtained, and announced
himself as going to deliver a Greeley
speech in Newport. During the
night some of his colored brethren,
who knew his antecedents and had
suffered by them, called upon him
and advised him to leave town,
Forthwith this colored Gross, sir,
rushed into print, and has been can.
onized by Democratic journals as a
martyr to the cause of Greeley!
Every American citizen is entitled
to free speech, and those who at
tempt to prevent such speech are in
juring themselves and their party
by SUCH attempts; but there is no
doubt that Gross was visited because
of his former rascality, rather than
for his party preferences.
