BE NOT DECEIVED.

1t happened at the colored convention
in Nashville. few days since, that spirit
cropped out which cannot but be looked
upon with regret by those who have the
future advance of the colored race at heart
1t seemed that there were some men
in that convention who, influenced by
bribery, or by false promises, or under the
pressure Of terrorism, or even possibly
with the belief that a real sympathy with
them existed in the Democratic party
came out in an excited enthusiasm in favor
of the party which has always opposed
their interests. Some even spoke loudly
in favor of abrogating the 'fcolor line" aud
yielding to the domination of their white
neighbors.
Such talk as this should deceive no in
telligent colored man. The Democrats of
the South are sworn in their opposition to
the negro race, and will use every means
violent if need be, but cunning if most
available-to disintegrate their united
power and get them under their yoke.
Here and there an example will be found
where colored person yields to their per-
suasion, or is bought up, though it is due
to the race to say that this unfaithfulness is
rare. Colored people, however, are sub
ject to the same ambitions, and the same
motives of cupidity or self-Interest may in
fluence some to deceive their friends by
yielding their allegiance to the party which
brought them out of bondage and made
possible their future history as race of
men rather than as series CT generations
Of chattels. Beware of the deceiver.
Their is no safety for the colored race
until the generation which feels the
grinding power of seeing their former
slaves walking the streets equal in all
human rights to themselves shall have
passed away. Democratic authority at the
South cannot be trusted as long as former
siaye-owner remains above the sod There
is a circumstance and power in former as
sociations that will not allow them to for
get the difference of station that once ex-
listed, nor will 1t permit them to yield life
long convictions in favor Of liberal treat
ment of the colored men,
1t is peculiarly fitting that on this day,
when the great martyr and savior of the
colored race is honored by the tears and
lamentations of the nation; when he who
wrote the emancipation proclamation, upon
which the ink is scarcely yet dry, is fit
tingly remembered by the erection of a
statue, that the colored men of this country
should reunite in q pledge to stand by the
party that brought them through and by
the memory of the man who was at once
the leader of that party and their own
emsncipator. This is the party that they
owe everything to. and as long as it is
dominant their interests are safe in its
hands. Let none of them turn. therefore.
| like Brutus, and strike the blow which
will PROSTATE ii and them to the earth.

THE Judiciary Committee Of the House
has under earnest consideration one of the
most important questions which has ever
come before it or any of its predecessors.
1t not only affects the personal liberty of
the citizen and his rights under the Consti-
tuition, but it affects the very grave ques-
ton of the jurisdiction of coordinate
branches of the Government. In a nut
shell, it involves the power of single
House Of the National Legislature
to brave, ignore and contemn the
Judiciary co ordinate branch of the
Government in the pursuit of its func-
tons. 1t involves the power TO suspend
the writ of hdbeaS corpus in time of peace;
not by the Congress, but by a single
House Of the Congress. 1t is in no sense
partisan question. 1t rises far above and
beyond all parties. Il is question of the
personal liberty and rights Of all citizens of
whatsoever party. There can be little
doubt that the committee will consider it
in this light, and determine it solely
In constitutional view. British prece-
dents sink into insigDifcance here because
they are not based upon a written Consti-
tuition. The Constitution of Great Britain
consists. mainly of presidents. and the
present and coming generations cannot
under it pretend to greater wisdom than
those which have gone before. An age of
progress is Of little political value to them.
With US it is different. We have a written
charter, constructed with especial reference
to the rights Of the people. The Judiciary
based upon that written charter was de-
signed TO correct all infringements which
the legislative branch Of the Government
might either inadvertently or by design
attempt upon the Constitutional rights of
the people. In the progress of events we
may err and get off the track. If we do,
there is the written charter of our liberties
TO straighten US out aud restore US to the
beaten path. We may progress as much as
we please, so that we do not fly the track.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1876-04-14

or propriety of any system OF Christian
action, the only vital question to be pro-
pounded is, "Will 1t accomplish good
RESULT" For the past three months the
city has been, in great measure, under
the influence Of q religious enthusiasm,
which has been strongly felt at the hearth
stones of many hundreds of homes. Great
good has been done. Many men, wrecked
by dissipation and various vices, have been
placed squarely upon their feet once more,
and the fame Of manhood again kindled in
their breasts. through the benign In
fuence of this movement over four thou
sand people within the city limits are to-day
leading more consistent and honorable lives.
The Church, the mightiest civilizing
agency in the world, has been materially
strengthened. The haunts of iniquity and
vice have lost hundreds Of sojourners. The
glare and dazzle Of gilded dens Of shame
find at least fewer number of victims to
daze. The channel of drunkenness hiss
been narrowed and the current of crime in
a degree checked. Thus good has been
done. No mstter whst the agency has
been, beneficial results have been derived
by the vigor and persistency of its action.
Men may question the propriety Of emo
tional religious excitement; so they might
question the moral and absolute right of
capital punishment But the judgment Of
man is fallible, while the principles Of
right and the effects of good works are
eternal.
While the hand of man is powerless to
point to any indications of evil arising out
of the system of religious action and ex-
hortation adopted by the men who have
carried on the work in our midst, it is
potent TO distinguish thousand instances
of positive good derived from the influence
of the Christian work Of the evangelists.
Then why should there be any opposition
to this religious enterprise And more
particularly, why should that opposition
come from those who are solemuly pledged
to exert Christianizing influence among
menf The supreme aim of man should be
to do good. No matter how he do it, nor
where nor when. Moral influence is
proper at all times, in all places and
through all agencies. 'Do good is the
keynote of Christianity, and whenever
such result can be secured it is positive
wrong to place one sctntilla Of impedi-
ment in the way. Every portion of this
great sphere is rich with growing in;quitY,
and every dose of morality it can be per
suaded to take will act as a check to the
disease. No matter how the remedy is
given, so long as il sllays and cures.

RoBBIHs, THE NvEsT1GAToR-THE DEM
AGOGUE.

We cannot refrain from once more call
ing attention to the cheeky letter, which
we printed a few days since, from Xxx
Robbins to the editor of the Western Sen
tinel of North Carolina. 1t is SO suggestive
of pure, unadulterated, double-distillsd-
though Illicit patriotism-that it deserves
something beyond the passing notice we
lave already given 1t. The beauty of this
efusion is in the source from which it
comes, and the person to whom it goes.
The sender is self convicted bride -taker,
promoted to a seat in Congress for the
dexterity with which he talked Republi-
can out OF twenty dollars when five would
have bought him just as easily. The
sendss is Democratic editor in North
Carolina, known to have;been prominent
leader of the Ku-Klux, and also impli-
Gated in counterfeiting revenue tobacco
stamps. He is suspected of having at one
time had in his possession plates on which
he printed counterfeit tobacco stamps. Par
mobile fratTun-the bribe-taker and the
piolator of the revenue laws.
Robbins, Vance and other leading Dem
ocrsts have by precept and example done
all in their power to prevent officers of the
Government from bringing to justice the
offenders against United States laws. They
know it. What is the object of this Rob-
bins letter. He has heard that his dis
grace in Washington has ruined him in
North Carolina. His district is honey
combed with Illicit distilleries. This letter
is intended to say to the whisky men,
fCome under my wing; am your pro-
tector." What cares a man who would
betray sacred trust for money whether
bis language and action will bring the
Government, its officers and IFS courts into
disrepute so long ss he can. through dems.
roeery and untruth, secure his election to

Yed. MANNED and crippled revenue officers
and deputy United States marshals made
IN the Western district Of North Carolins
during the past three years shows the re-
sult of the teachings Of such men as Vance
and Robbins. If the House sends scom.
