Hurrah for Nerih Carolina,

10 -
Many heart will be gladdened, this
morning. at the glorious news from the
Old North State. Some time ago, we
had been quite confident of the election
there; but within the last month, the
Radicals had orowed 30 Justify, and all
the New York papers, even the Tribune,
World and the Herald, seeming to be
forced to concede1a small Republican
majority, that we began to feel some
what dubious, and thought it as we'll,
anyway. to husband our Civilizations unt;l
the contest was over. There had been
no combination with the Liberal Repub-
licans before the nominations, and they
consequently had no representation
whatever on the ticket. It was thought,
therefore, that they would not support
the Conservatives to man. There is no
telling about that; but numbers of them
did, at any rate. The increase OF Shipp's
vote In 1870 shows this.
But though we had begun to feel
little doubtful, it was difficult for US to
believe that our sister State, with 80. 600
or $4,000 white majority, would show
herself on the side OF Grantism at Wash
ington, and carpetbagism, with its ac-
oompanying plundering. at home. She
did not, and we congratulate the gallant
old State on the glory she has gained.
The Jig is we'll nigh up with Grant
now. Henry Wilson himself stated,
in campaign speech at Wilmington.
that if the Republicans (meaning the
Grant faotion) lost North Carolina, they
would have uphill work for the balance
Of the campaign.
The GRANTEES. indeed. ueed superhu-
man efforts to. carry the State. knowing
how much depended upon it. Even
members Of the Cabinet and department
officers from Washington were sent down
to stump the State; and they were abso-
lutely confident of success.
The loss of the State would not have
been fatal to the Liberal movement, but
its gain makes success in November al
most certain. The energetic citizens Of
the Old North State have slapped such a
dab OF tar upon Grant and Wilson's
heels, that they will never catch sight OF
Uncle Horace in the race again.

Advice TO the Coiored People.
The following correspondence. the
publication OF which has been expected
for some days, fully explains the position
of Senator sumner in the present Presi-
dental campaign:
WASHINGTON, July IL.
SIR: We, the undersigned. citizens of
color, regarding you as the purest and
best friend Of our race, admiring your
consistent course in the United States
Senate and elsewhere as the special advo-
cate Of our rights. and believing that
your counsel at this critical juncture
in. the period OF our citizenship would
be free from personal feeling and parti-
san prejudice, have ventured to request
your opinion as to what action the CO.
lored lvotere OF the nation should take in
the Presidential contest now pending.
The choice Of our people is now mar
rowed down to Gen. Grant or Horace
Greeley. Your long acquaintance with
both and your observation have enabled
you to arrive at correct conclusion as
to which OF the candidates. judging from
their antecedents as we'll as their present
position, will, if elected, enforce the re-
quirements of the Consultation and the
laws respecting our civil and political
rights with the most heartfelt sympathy
and greatest vigor.
We hope and trust you will favor us
with such reply as will serve to enlighten
our minds upon this subject, and impel
our people to go forward in the right
direction. Our confidence in your judg-
ment is so firm, that, in our opinion,
thousands of the intelligent colored
voters OF the country will be guided in
their action by your statement and ad-
vice. Hoping to receive reply soon,
We have the honor to be, with great re-
spect, your obedient servants,

OF peace, holdlng the parties to the full per.
formanoe Of it's conditions. Provided always
that their rights are fixed I am sure it cannot
be best for the colored people to band together
in hostile camp, provoking antagonism and
keeping alive the separation OF races. Above
all there must be no intimidation, but every
voter must act freely. without constraint from
league or lodge. Much better will it be when
the two political parties compete fer your
votes, each anxious for your support. Only
then will that citizenship, by which you are
entitled to the equal rights OF all, have it's ma.
tural fruits. Only then will there be that
harmony which is essential to true civiliza-
tion. The present position OF the colored
citizen is perilous. He is exposed to Injurious
pressure when he needs support. But sec
no early extrication except in the way pro.
posed. Let him cut adrift from managers
who would WELD him merely as political
force. with little regard to his own good, and
bravely stand by the candidate who has stood
by him. II Democrats unite with him. 30

must naturally ripen in common friendship

the bottom OF my heart am for peace, and

Citizen who drew his sword against US has

just association with this humanity will be
the triumph OF equal rights when the pro.
mises OF tho great declaration are all fulfilled,
and our people are united, as never before, in

the policy OF hate; am against tanning an

desire. And now, turning to the Democratic
party. hold it to all the covenants solemnly
given in tho adoption Of a Republican plat
form, with Horace Greeley as candidate.
There can be no backward step.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATURE.

& Lively times are anticipated upon the
meeting of the Tennessee Legislature on
the first of next month. Numerous gen.
tlemen have intimateda desire to serve the
State in the various offices to be filed by
that body. The process by when the
Isham G. Harris wing of the late Demo-
cratic party expects to whip the recalci-
trant johnson men into supporting the or
-thodox military ring, will be interesting
For some time past the leaders of Tor
ganizationv have manifested doubt
az to the best course to pursue
under the circumstances. One day
they breathe forth threats, and crack the
party whip right lively over these apos-
tates from the true faith. Finding that
their subjects view such proceeding with
provoking GOODNESS, they change their
tactics and, with tears and entreaties,
exclaim, " Return, Oh wanderer, return!"
Thus far tears and threatenings have
produced little or no visible effect. The
meeting Of the Legislature will prove a
crisis in the affairs of those who are plead
ing so earnestly for I" organization, and
for this reason, it will be looked forward to
with interest.
We trust and believe that when the Leg
islature does meet that such questions will
be speedily settled and that our lawmakers
will promptly proceed to the important
business which will come before them. The
people care great deal less about who is to
hold the offices than they do about the set

We hear great deal from certain quar-

the South, but the fact is, the South has
never been so fearfully prosecuted from
any other source as by some of her
own people. These narrow=minded, hide

generous sentiment toward political op-

up in self; these agitators, would force the
people to believe that which is palpably
