Our friends, the enemy, seem III
much trouble owe: the Civil Rights
Bill, which having passed the Senate
of the United States, by 4 strict party
vote, Is now pending IN the House Of
Representatives where its passage Is
oniva matter Of tine, as 1t secured
nearly q two-thir,la vote to put it
upon its passage by sEapen-
sion of the rules. All the prccepts Of
the North Carolina branch OF the
party are IN opposition to the bill, but
all their practices are in its favor.
They resolve very formally against its
passage, but they carry ont in their in
tercOurse and association and in their
political action, its worst and most dis
gushing provisions.
The Convention which nominated
Neil Mckay, for Congress, was as
dumb as an oyster upon the subject,
but in putting forth Mckay, so redo
lent with mo parloT and no Kitchen,
Wit: the commingling together of the
delegates going to and returning from
the Convention, we suppose the de-
cIaration in its favor was deemed suf-
fcient. Yet, the Raleigh Era, the
Wilmington Post, the Newborn Re
21ubfic-C0ur the AsLeyiIle Pioncel',
and probably other Radical papers
have declared against the passage OF
the Civil Rights Bill. The Radicals
OF Richmond, Robson and a few 9TH
er counties have already protested
against It's provisions.
But Cobb an1 Thomas, Radical
members OF Congress, favor its pas
sage and have 50 voted. II neS1o
counties as New Hanover and Craven,
and IN the negro Congressional Dis
tricts, colored men have been nomi-
mated to tue exclusion Of whites. Nay
more, il the city Of Newborn, where
tie blacks have 4 majority, they have
elected Negro trustees over white
school. The Demooratic-Co nserva-
tives OF the county have expressed
their just indignation of this action ia
tie following resolutions, adopted at
d recent County Convention:

by an overwhelming majority upon

against which we protest.

should it become law, that it Will be |
with the most serious conse- |
to both races, engendering |
strife and discord, and arousine the |
