American nation will be for

Guiteau is insane, but then the

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The colored State Convention,
which will convene in Goldsboro
on the 20ih inst, will be the
largest in the history Of the col
ored people of North Carolina,
and will, perhaps, have more in
fluence in the right direction than
any convention that has ever been
held in the State by the colored
citizens. That there is dlscrim-
ination ins the selection Of jurors,
by our county Commissioners none
will deny, be he Republican or
Democrat, and we feel that the
County Commissioners will make
amends and do better in the fu-
ture if the colored citizens in con-
yentlon will present their griev-
ances in o proper way.
We, as q coIored journalist, de-
mand for the negro every right Of
citizenship that the law guaran-
tees to US as citizens Of North
Carolina and the United States,
and no man is a worthy citizen
who denies to our race or class all
the rights so guaranteed by the
fundamental and supreme law OF
the land. But, however, gritvous
this demand upon our County
Commissioners may BE-, they will
be compelled to acknowledge the
letter Of the law if not Tbs spirit
in selecting future jurors. The
comman law provides that man

that impressed every listener.

4 the class and race of men who 90.
lect the jurors, claim that the ne
gro is not their peer, in rights,
justice, intellect, citizenship, or
anything else. Therefore, the
colored citizens are warranted in
making their demands as strong
as the declaration of rights in de-
handing their constitutional rights
upon the juries Of our courts,
especially in criminal proceedings,
Again, it is an acknowledged
fact among those of the legal pro-
fession that the same evidence
that would convict c)lored man
for larceny 10 our courts would not
be sufficient to convict a white
man OF % similar charge; first,
because his children and family
relations have no weight with the
jury or the courts; secondly, the
dominant party leaders in the
State have no sympathy with the
co|ored citiz9ns IN many respects,
because tho political interest of
the negro is to the reverse of their
party and management of the
State and county affairs in gen
eral; yet, as a journalist, who en-
deayor to bear truth at all times,
we acknowledge that there are
some men in the Republican par.
ty who control the vote of the
colored citizen to a great extent
that are equally as reluctant 20
give the negro h.s constitutional
rights as some of the most ultra
Democrats in the State. Yes,
there il q, class of 0f1ice.seeking,
deceptive white men, that
too often have the influence of
the leading colored men in their be-
half, who get ia Democratic cir
cles, and in an underbanded way
do more to decry and rob the hon
est and independent colored man
of his good name than those ultra
Democrats who never hide their
opposition to the elevation of ne
colored people. When the colored
people learn to withhold their sup
port from those who have not the
confidence of the best class of
citizens in their community, they
will have no trouble to sit on ju-
ries, or erjpy any other high privil-
ege granted by the constitution.

The election in Wayne county
will, in all probability, be quite
warm this fall, as the Republicans
and the anti Prohibition element
will join hands to'defeat the regu
lar Democratic nominees for the
county and Legislative tickets.
We say to you, fellow-citizene, to
meet the common enemy in any
way Son can defeat them. A free
ballot and a fair connt ia what we,
as colored citizens, want, and the
way to get it, is to join hands
with any man, or set of men, who
will help US secure it, though
their sins be like scarlet, or red
like crimson, if they will help lay
hold of them" always provided
that they will declare from the
GIsostrum," that they will support
Republican measures and not dis,
crimirate against the colored
citizens.

WHY SUPPORT NORTHERN MAR
KETS ENTIRELY

"The North is the Mecca of our
merchants, and to it they must
and do make two pilgrimages per
annnm--one in the spring and one
| in the fall. All our commercial,
mechanical, manufactured, and lit
erary supplies come from there.
We want Bibles, brooms, buckets,
and books, and we 60 to the North;
we want pens, paper, ink, waters,
and envelopes, and we go to the
North; we want shoes, bats, hand.
kerchiefs, umbrellas, and pocket
knives, and we 60 to the North;
we want furniture, crockery, glass
ware, and pianos, and we 60 to the
North; we want toys. primers,
school books, fashionable apparel,
machinery, medicines, tomh-sones,
and a thousand other things, and
we 60 to the North for them all.
Instead of keeping our money in
circulation at home. by patroniz :
ing our own mechanics, mannfac
turers, and laborers, we send it all
away to the North. and there 1t
remains; it never falls into our
hands again.
tn one way or another we are
more or less subservient to the
North every day ofcur lives.
In infancy we are swaddled in
Nothern muslin; in childhood we
are humored with Northern gew-
gaws; in youth we are instructed
out of Northern books; at the age
of maturity we SOW our wild oats
on Northern soil; 10 middle life we
exhaust our wealth, energies, and
talents, in the dishonorable vo'
cation of lutailing our DEEPEN
dence on our children, and, to
the neglect of cur own intrests
and the intrests of those around
us, in giving aid and succor to ev-
cry department of Northern power
IN the decline of life we remedy
our eye.sight with Northern spec
tacles, and support our infirmitles
with Northern canes; in old age
we are dragged with Northern
physic; and, finally, when we die.
our insnimate bodies, sbrouded In
Northen cambria, are stceched up
on the bier, borne to the gravein
