Editors Journal
DEAR SIRs,-Yestegday about one
O'Clock our little village was startled
10y. the roaring of an engine and ten
der with W. z. Canaday and another
little Radical from your city. We
were completely takea by surprise.
We could not account for all this large
gathering. but by careful inquiry, We
soon learned from the negroes that
the Mayor had come to speak for us.
Well, he had one of his black friends
to call up the masses twenty-five ne
groes in alp, and the appearance did
not suit the Mayor, and the colored
school, about three hundred yards
distance, was sent for, but did not re-
spond. The Mayor then sent two
negroes and that little white e-Radi-
cal after Mr.. Paine and his school,
but they did not come (by the way,
we are thiuEing a good deal of Mr..
Paine), SO the Mayor got out of the
engine, walked about little, and then
took two colored gentlemen and the
little Rad that waited on him, and
marched to NJ. L. ~Aaron's bar-room,
and you can bet what WAS done. They
came out, and the Mayor got side Of
an old ice barrel and poured out ono
of the most brilliant speeches. Well,
it was an able document Oh he told
us all the bad things about Democrats
and "sich;',' and he told all about the
ham and hog story, and we hadn't
heard it in SO long it was right funny.
It made the large crowd Of negroes
(twenty-fi7e in alp smile. Yes, and
he told the negroes that If the Revo-
lutionists (Democrats) did ges a ma
iority in the Convention, they would
put the negroes back i'll slavery; and
he said in Georgia it was the case now
/ tell you, he was instructive. He
learned us all that, and he (the Mayor
told us the Democrats stole the State
bonds. Yes, the Mayor did say so.
We did not know it abused us a
heap. The white boys groaned, and
crowed;; &C., for Joy. The Mayor is
smart, we all think he is talented, or
! he could not have done SO we'll; IN
| fact, we knew he was before he came, OIL
he could Lot have managed to haveigot
| together so many bricks to build those
fine houses; yes, the Mayor is natural
ly gifted with lies and rascality,
think he is very smart, I would have
been 6 lad to have replied to him, bu
! had no chance, think he would hav,
been tolerable tight match for me
both>being smart. Now Messrs. Edi
tors, to the facts, if Mr.. Canady coulG
have .canvassed the entire State,
would bet one Thousand dollars i
.wpuld go Conservative thirty Thousand
clear and nice. IF adj the white peopl
of North Carolina could see and hea
the man Canady come out so bold will
his rascality and lies, Radical rul'
would be at an end, his entire speecl
was abuse fiat of the white men, an
lies. He knew he was telling lies whe
ne spoke to them, but he did the b~s
he knew. He did what he learne'
when youth, so he is excusable. Jus
: see what money can do, in completin
II mans rascaiity, viz Hire ham t.
tell lies. He said he did not asaociat
with the colored people at all, wa
visited by the responsibility of Wi
mlngtOn, there were none such up her
in Duplin as his associates, &c.
This last sentence we believe, Mr.
Editors. We think that the only trut
4le told us. We thank Provid. n
that we have none with us like his u.
sociates. None but .Kinsey Jones.
our county are like Mr.. Canady al
his guests. I say that we are thanI
ful that we have none such as the,
and now your city hasour sypmpathy
! for being so unfortunate
Hoping We will soon get throue
: with those rascals, and wishing 20
much success,
l am truly yours.
