"a VINO opposo the whsto Ne I

Without the full md united support Of the ne
NOES the Republican party would not dare %
make ticket in either county Of the state. ~
We iihSw take II lew facts mid hgures show
ing who compose the two political parties, aud
how they are formed. We have said that IN Jor-
ity of tine Republican party were negroes, this
may starte and surprise good many white men
belonging to that palty, but 1t is,speysrtheless,
ana We :Iis hope and is1 we eoa0' TO
We have not space to give the vote anu make
the comparison We would like tor each and every
hundred and election district in the STATE but will
content ourselves with one or iwo. The hepubli-
eau vote Of East Election District in Dover Hun
dred was at last election 377, (taking the Levy
Court branch OF the ticket>, the Republicans claim
ing negro vote OF 223, which deduct from 317,
leaves them 154 white voters In this district, the
negroes outnumbeiing the " hltes by 60. We will
next give the entire vote of the State leaving our
readers to make the comparisons Of each hundred
for themseve. The ent,rs vote of the State at the
last election was 23,3T0' twenty-five thousand
three hundred ana seventy, and Of that number
Q1,197) eleven thousand one hundred and ninety
seven were cast for the Democratic ticket,-taking
the Levy Court branch OF the ticket IN eaca coun-
ty--and 1,17S) eleven thousand one hundred and
seventy-i three votes were cast fol- The Republican
ticket, taking the same branch. Or this number
the Republicans claim negro vote OF (5,600) i've
thousand SIX hundred, which deduct from the ag-
gregate Republican vote of LIB, will leave o.
573] five thousand i've hundred and seyenty-three
white Republican votes in the Stale, and which
gives the negroes majority in that party. Having
shown that majority oi tnal party are negroes,
can it be said that 1t Is not giving 1t Its proper
title when we say that it Is the Negro Parfy. We
hope the few white Republicans VINO are trying TO
cheat their unsuspeeting neighbors will not get
offended with US, they sometimes are for telling
the truth, when We say it is properly the negro
party with few whites mixed in. And We ask
them not to be so unkind as to abuse us, and do
not think we are over proud of our party, which
is entirely composed OF white men, without
single exception, wnen We say our party Is lne
White Mans Party"
With these facts before them what can the peo
pie of the country districts expect at the hands of
the Republican party. should they be successful,
at the coming election Don't look upon US as
sounding an unnecessary alarm when we answer
Social equality in churches. schools, hotels, &c.
There is now pending before Congress a
bill, Introduced by the leader of the Repnb-
licsn party in the House OF Representatives
at Washington, the Hon. u. +, Bu.ler, oil
New Orleans and Fort Fisher notorieiy.
which bill imposes penalty fT excluding
negroes from any church, public school, no
tel table or room, public conveyance, ana
oven graveyards, IN fact anywhere you 20
you are bound to accept the company of me-
u oes, ii offered, or fine will he imposed
for refusing. With the Republicans in au-
thority in this state, with such power as
would be given them by the Butler bill ,and
the negroes forming a majority OF the Re-
publican party, what can be- expected OF
Them in the country districts but that negro
social equality or companionship will be
forced upon the people.
