PETERSBURG, Oct. II, lS..3.
AssSfs Etz1|s Ses0 National Era ard 'ittss.-
Last night the Conservatives made a
grand rally" in this city. Our city daily
Journal, afflicted with negro Oh the brains, OF
course gives the rally high toned coloriung.
In order to secure 1.-THE outpoulinu," Con-
servatiSes big little old aud young were inn
ported from Richmond, Manchester and sur
rounding counties, with all the bunc0ube that
suspended banks would permit. Gen. Rem
per, the Conservative Candidate for Cover
nor, delivered speech, for the purpose as
placarded, Of wiping out the black radical
spot that stains the escutcheous of Petersburg
and Virginia. His speech was very lame
affair: speech that most any black legislator,
that he caricatured, eau equal. He showed
himself guilty of the sin and disease, NEGRO
PHoBIA. He declared himself the friend and
exponent of all classes and races. He
attempted to defiue his declaration, but
failed. He declared his body might rot,
mOulder as John Browns body; his hand
forget its cunning; his tongue cleave to the
roof fhis mouth, if ever he signed BILL to
become law, establishing civil rights,
negro equality, social equality, or amalgama-
tors. A lamented over the poor deuded,
misguided negroes who had been lead to
forsake and turns, and turn their backs,
politically, upon their old masters and mis-.
tresses, their last friends.
Conservatives, in the reconstruction OF
tbo OF 70 hol 70
under the guse Of True Republicans" to
secure the Governorship and the Legislature.
Now they play upon the passions Of the peo-
pie, by harping upon the question of social
equality, and the declaration of DR.. Hoge,
at the Evangelical Alliance, concerning the
everlasting negro.
Negrophobia is only skin deep. How
many Conservatives have been and are
accustomed to colored mistress? How
many has Il black BARRIERS hands over their
face and head? How many eat bread mixed
with black hands? How many Of them
sleep Oh beds made by black hands? How
many OF them has milk, or its effects, with
in them from black mammas? How many
Of them, daily, eat food prepared by black
hands?
Gen. Kemper, Gov. Walker, and other
leading lights that held forth last night
partakers of dinner and supper, on yesterday
prepared by black cooks. Aye, negropho
ba is shallow, and is bound, in the process.
of time, to fade away, and be among the
thing that once were, but are not.

in company with my wife, and there saw in
single rpw OF seats about "a many persons
as visited the American Institute in two
months, and in the whole gallery allotted to
people OF color there was more persons than
has probably visited the American Institute
since its organization, and, remember
the entrance fee to the theater was Fifty cents.
and, also, remember there was no part Of The
American Institute partitioned of for the use
Of colored people. [ might say more than
this, but would fain call the attention Of
the country to such dishonorable statistics.

A committee resident at Philadelphia could
do much to facilitate the work. l think it is,
indeed, happy circumstance that the exhibit
ton is to be at Philadelphia, for know Of
no city with more able colored men among
its inhabitants. William hipper, William

Pernnell, Casey, Ulysses b. Vidal and many
others whose regulations are broadcast on ac-
count Of the many years Of service they have
devoted to the advancement Of their race,
are all residents of Philadelphia Now SOME
of these gentlemen, or all Of them, or Others
might organize a Committee at home and ap-
point members in every important place
whose laDOrs should be directed toward the
success of the work mentioned Brings forth
our works Of art, our inventions, and the
product Of our genius, never mind how small
in each individual case, the aggregate NAV
show a heathiul condition and higher aims
than those which apparently actuates the
great mass of our people at present. In every
part Of our country there is undoubtedly hid
den the product Of genius, which need but
be known to be appreciated. A committee
at Philadelphia, ventures to predict, will find
person, everywhere, able AMI willing to CO..
operate with them. The South has much to
show, and it would undoubtedly be brought
out by the assistance of Hon. J. Henri Burch
whom am well aware is willing to lend his
aid, through his Journal and by personal
efforts, to the advancement of our pc oples'
interests. The West could be brought into
line by the assistance of John Jones ESQ Of
Chicago Ill. and many others too numerous
to mention, whom believe are willing to
lend time and money, if needed, for the beni-
fit of the people. sincerely trust we shall
hear from the gentleman at Philadelphia at
an early day through the columns of the New

DEAR SIRs: | am comparatively recent
subscriber to your paper, but this fact makes
me more anxious to make up for the lost time
in having neglected so long to avail myself
of the opportunity of coInmuning with the
outside world, which the New ERA presents
SO fully to q disenthralled people, now rap
idly emerging from the gloom that has over
Swallowed them for century. You very
kindly intimate that communications Oh in
teresling topics will he acceptable, but am
afraid the proyiso-''well-w ritten'--may put
Quietus ON this my first essay. Since
the chief of our race, the talented Doug
lass, has taken his departure, the solid truths
he inculcated have sunk down deeply into
the minds Of those who can truly appreciate
words fifty spoken, advice SO honestly, earn
estly given, example so purely set forth, and
the rough diamonds are steadily endeayorng
to cast Of the crude material enclOudiDg the
gem of mind, SO as to show the world, and
that ERE long, that good heart, honest
dealings, and that a stout perseverance will
finally put to rest the sheer with which our
previous efforts were met, and abundantly
testify that "some good can come out of Saz-
aroth."
| In our local affairs old fogydom has met a
most signal downfall. The municipal cleo
| ton lately held here has fully demonstrated
that "old things have passed away and all
things have become new" The yolny men
of Nashville, who have been carefully watch
ing, during their advancing years, the course
of their quondam city fathers, storing up that
which was good, and sitting out the trash
| (Which, by the way, was no inconsiderable
portion) Of their ancient foibles, have arisen
| in their might and in their grand struggle at
the ballot-box have triumphantly consigned
to the shades Of oblivion the narrow-fninded
policy of past ages, and, Ainging their maiden
banner to the free air Of Heaven, have in
scnbed thereon the glorious device OF their
historical youthful iag-bearer-"Exeelsior, p"
and the glad shouts OF Freedom " "Ad-
