DEMOCRACY, NEGROPHILISM, &c.
| There seems to be a persistent
effoIt on the part of certain chronic
OffIce-seekers and political phiIoso-
piers TO Efisrepresent the action
of the Democratic party at the two
conventions held III Canton on the
9TH and 7tA. They have been sctl-
denly smitten with a very tender
regard for The poor negro, and i'm
dulge iu a vast amount of senti
mental twaddie about his forlorn
conditions: They represent our
colored friends as being in disor-
ganiZed condition, destitute of lead
ers, seeking rest nd'finding none.
Aud we are even told, that, at the
late Democratic gatherings, these
10Th amendments sought admission
to the Democratic fold and were
rudely rejected.
To show that these disintprested
patriots have been piIing Ossa ups
on PelioD, and endeavOring to make
vast mountain out of an insig-
nificant mOlehill, lot US look at the
facts.
On Saturday last, Democratic
mass meeting was held for District
One, to nominate Beat officers aud
appoint delegates to the county
convention. At this meeting a
IN otioH was made, the obj. ct OF
which was to prevent any person
from voting except such az had
heretofore acted with tho Demo-
cratic party. This proposition
seems SO plainly in accordance with
right reason and the fitness of things
and so pet fectly in keeping with
all party usages, that common sense
could not imagine an objection.
But com mon sense ,uot uufrequently,
has very little to do with sublunary
affairs; and the human intellect, in
its vagaIies, is often so subtitle, as
ssto sever and divide a hair 'twixt
south and sonthiwestsiGe."
The propositions aforesaid was
not only reasonable IN itself, but
the honest yeomanry Of the conn-
try deemed its observance espe-
ciaIly necessary Oil this occasion,
as they had reason, from the course
OF events heretofore, to fear that
the Canton clique would seek to
control the meeting by means Of
the riff-raff of the city-the tag rag
and 5ob-taA Of the Radical party.
This proposition thus sanctioned,
and simply asserting the right OF
the Democratic party to make it's
own DOmIna tiOnR. free from extras
neOus influences of a. eorfupting,
hostile aud disorganizing character,
met with persevering opposition
from an unexpected quarter A
gentleman of character and intel
lect. who is not in the habit OF re-
sorting to buncombe or fap-doOdle,
undertook the role of spread-eagle
orator in opposition to the conscr-
va,ive motion aforesaid. lie
thought it an outrage upon the
right of an American citizen, that a
question should be asked, an inqni
