=. NO ParIOr and NO Kitchen -


We have, elsewhere, referred to appeals
made by Radical candidates to the passions
of the colored people, and their attempts to
stir up strife between the two races
These efforts, by WhOmSOever made, have
been disgraceful enough, but it has been
Congress III this District, Neill Mckay,
Esq, to place the cap-stone upon the huge
pile of infamy.
Neil Mckay Who, at one time, filled or
sought to fill the honorable position of a
Confederate soldier, has SO far fallen from
his former high estate as 10 be a Radical
candidate for Congress. This, Of ITSELF is
spectacle sufficiently dcplorablc. But
this is not all lie seeks to secure his cleo
ton by means that the most unprincipled
Radical ought to blush TO avOw. If there
be meaning III words, or truth i'll men,
Ncill Mckay seeks to abolish all social
distinction growing out of race or color and
to inauguratc a mad crusade against the
wealth and intelligence of the country
lie tells the negroes that the sure way to
accomplish this purpose will be to
orally this last time and carry the
election" for then :" there will be NO PAR
IoE AND No KITCHEN" These are his
own words 1t is true he denies having
used them, but his denial will avail him
nothing. The following certificate, Which
We copy from the Fayetteville Edglc, is
from gentlemen whose words will far out
weigh anything Mr.. Mckay can say
CERTIFICATE.
We, tho undersigned, do hereby certify
that We were present during the speech
| made by Neil Mckay i'll accepting the NOM
| nation for Congress in the Sd District, and
| that lac did use the expression as charged
| in tie Euy'c, rally this last time and
| carry the election, and there will be 10
| kitchen and no parlor.'

1t en- be safely asserted that there cam
| not be found in any county i'll the State of
North Carolina, four gentlemen Of more
| unimpeachablc ycracity than are the four
gentlemen whose names are appended to
| the above certificate. There can be no
question, ii there be any confidence at all
| due to human testimony, shat Neil Nc
| Kay, Esq, did say to tho negroes, carry
| the election and there viii. be NO PARLOR
| AND NO KITCHEN" Mr.. Mckay says, g l
g did not say that there would be no
| g kitchen and 10 parlor. but here is what
II did say; SAID THEY MUST VOTE DOWN
| g TIE WEALTH AND INTELLIGENCE OF
g TIE COUNTRY"
We are quite prepared to believe that
| Mr.. Mckay told his friends they must vote
down the wealth and Intelligence of the
country. The man who could tell a crowd
of negroes that if they would carry the
! election there would be 10 parlor and no
kitchen, is fully capable Of telling them
| they must vote down the intelligence and
the wealth of the country. But we tell
| Mr.. Mckay 2ud his Radical supporters
! that the negroes will have TO vote down
! something else III the State Of North Caro-
| lima III order to bring about the time
when there shall be "no parlor and no
| kitchen" They will have TO vote down
and beat down that feeling in the breast Of
| every white man in the State that would
| force him, in spite Of law and bayonets and
| bullets, to kill his sister or his daughter
| ere he gave her to the embraces Of negro.
| They will have to vote down and to beat
down that feeling in the bosom Of every
| white woman that would make her hail
death as joyous deliyerance from SO loath-
| some and disgusting fate. Mr. Mckay
! and his Radical supporters VIII IeGrn that
these feelings do not belong only to the
white men and white women Of :: wealth
! and intelligence as he may choose to term
| them. In town or city or country, among
! the educated or the uncducatcd, the rich
OF the poor, this feeling is equally strong
| and all powerful.
The day will never come when there
| will be ''NO P-ARLoR AND NO KITCHEN -
in North Carolina. Let Mr.. Mckay and
| his Radical supporters beware III making
the attempt, lest they unchain a devil they
can never again hasten.
