1t is hoped that matters will not
be brought up in the convention
to-day, that should be settled else
where. Something has been said of
appointing new mail agents, and
somebody said they should be named
by the convention. That is wrong.
Iftwo or fifty new agents are to be
appointed and for specific reasons,
they should come in the same man.
ner all other agents are appointed,
and that is a matter that should not
be mentioned in the convention. The
colored man is right. to contend for
place, he will never get anything
without contending for it, but don't

THE CONVENTION TO-DAY.

The Republican convention Of
Mecklenburg county convenes in
the Court House to-day, to nomi-
nate candidates for the Legislature
and other county officers.
1t is earnestly hoped that every
delegate will go there with a deter
lmination for harmony and victory.
1t is hoped that all personal feelings
will be forgotten and that men will
be sober and act wisely and eau
tiously. Let no one forget himself
SO far as to fall into personal abuse
of republicans or liberals who have
not acted to suit him. Let us con-
sent to differ in our opinions and let
us be charitable enough to think
every other republican honest in
working for the success of the party
even though their ways be different
from ours. Let every man go into
the convention to-day to have the
most available men nominated, but
if the men of your choice are not
nominated, let each man accept the
ticket in good faith, go to work for
it, vote for it and see that it is
elected.
The duties of the convention are
plain, if members will only take the
pains to think of it. Let the major
ity rule satisfy all. fla majority OF
the convention put out ticket en-
tirely new, ticket partly new OF
accept the liberal ticket as whole,
let the convention make it unani-
nous and let each man go home
satisfied that he has done what was
best for his party, even though he
has not his own choice in every in
stance.
The MESSENGER has been against
coalition from the start, but we are
liable to be mistaken; we are now
for success. We are always willing
to yield to higher counsel and make
personal sacrifices for the success of
the Republican party. We all voted
for democrats two years ago, and il
it is the pleasure of the convention
let us agree to do SO again. Repub-
icans who have been working for
the party for years certainly de.
serve recognition, but if the major.
ity does not bring them out, we
must all be content and yield to the
wishes of the majority.

For the Messenger.
Our Paper.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I believe we have
in n. C. ten newspapers run by
colored men, and it is fact that in
a large degree these papers are sup
ported by white men. / am truly
glad to see that the prejudiees that
once existed SO strong between the
two races is fast fading away and
the merits of colored men are being
acknowledged, and white men do
not regard it derogatory to their
standing to read colored newspa-
pers. 1 hope our Editors will con-
tinue to receive large patronage
from our white citizens. But, col
ored men, are you doing your duty
in this respect, are you coming up to
the aid of our Editors who are striv-
ing to advance your interest and de-
fend your rights and demanding
for you equal and exact justice in
our Courts and at the ballot-box,
the bullwarks ofyour liberties now
colored men wake up to your inter-
est and come to the aid ofour news
paper men, they are the watchmen
on the wall, they are seeking to
build you up that you may move
steadily on in the march of civiliza-
ton. Let us resolve in our mind
that our papers shall find their way
to every household and find place
in the library of every colored fami-
ly in n. C.
If our history is ever written by
colored men, we must not look to
others to do that which we ought
to do ourselves. The advancement
of the black man since his manumis-
sion has aroused the ambition Of
his jealous white brother, he is now
striving to elevate his race to a high
er plane, and by your assistance
will eventually emancipate N. c.

Cadet Livingstone failed in math-
ematics. He had fair examination,
they say. Whitaker has quit the
lecture field and gone home, and
Lieut.. Flipper has been appointed
Captain in the Mexican army.
Cursed is the man whose skin is
black, for he can scarcely be gen.
tleman in America. Woe unto We
black men, ye Africans who try to
be more than serfs. 1t shall be more
tolerable with dumb brutes than
with the black man who does assert
his rights and be a gentleman.

HWE are glad to learn that many
of our colored farmers have very
encouraging looking crops. Mr.. G.
W. Grier, a representative farmer OF
Matthews, has exceptionally fine
crops on each of his plantations. 1t
would be well for every coiored man
to buy a home and make himself
happy and leave something for his
children, when he shufies off this
mortal coil.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Aug. 1st, 'S2.
The propriety of running a colorod
man for some of our County offices has
been discussed very frequently amongst
the leaders of our race, and surely, rep
resenting the voting element of the Re-
publican party as we do, we are enti-
tied to some of the Offices bestowed by
the suffrage of the people. l am one of
those who think it high time that the
colored people should be rewarded for
their devotion to their party, and act
ing upon this reasoning, and the solicit
tation Of. many friends, announce my
self as candinate for the Office of Con-
stable, in Charlotte Township.

IT is rumored that ex-senator
Bruce is to go to Mississippi to can
vass for Gen. Chalmers against a
colored candidate for Congress. 1t
will be remembered that Chalmers
is the Democrat who was ousted
from Lynch's seat a few months ago.
Why Senator Bruce would not rath-
er canvass for Carter, the colored
candidate, or leave them to fight it
out themselves, we cannot see. o

If you are not a liberal, what are
you, a democrat7 The liberals and
republicans have united to defeat
the bosses of the bourbon party.
We have all agreed upon a State
ticket with the best man in the
State at the head of it. We think
no true-hearted republican will dare
refuse to vote for thatticket. Then
we must elect legislative ticket
which favors a -change in the county
government and will vote for an
anti-bourbon for the U. S. Senate.

superstition that now prevails in

but subscribe for newspapers.
hope no one will think that these
lines are written in order that the
writer may be brought into public
notice, but it is because Ifeel deep
interest for my race, for those who
know me knows that have labored
ever since / arrived at my ma
jority for the elevation of and ad-
vancement ofmy people, both mo-
rally, Intellectually and materially,
and as 1 have acted agent for sever
al of our papers l know that there
are large number who do not read
newspapers at all. 1t is the duty
of every colored man in N. G. to see
to it the papers printed by men OF
our race receive the proper encour-
agement.
So far as l am concerned l have
no interest materially in any one
of our papers, but when l see men
who have the courage to undertake
the publication of paper, devoted
to the interest of long oppressed
and downtrodden race, feel it is
the duty of every man, and woman
too, to do all he or she can to help
them. Newspapers. are the great
educators of the people. Henry
Clay said once, he got most of his
information from reading newspa-
Ipers. l do not pretend to say that
they are better than a good book,
yet l do claim there is a good deal
to learn from them. tits said every
morning in London, (Eng) the
London Times is on the breakfast
table of every family. So even the
children are informed as to what is
going on in the whole realm every
morning.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 hope you will
pardon me if l have intruded on
your columns, the subject is one
that suggested itself to me, but very
recently, and as I propose to say
something more at another time, l
will close this article with the hope
that our Editorsf throughout the
State will not think that / am seek
ing notoriety among them, I do not
think their papers are supported by
the colored people as they ought to
be. More anon,

LET Republicans, colored men and
liberals cease fighting each other,
remove some of the bourbon Demo-
Gratis from federal offices and make
room for their friends in that way.
We think a dozen vacancies can be
made in and around this city with
out touching a republican. IF our
leaders can't find them, the MEssEN-
GER will name the places and the
men. Let us stop fighting each
other.

1t is now time to organize cam
paign clubs. Let US see if we can't
have better organization in this
county than ever before. Let each
precinct be organized, and the presi-
dent of every club know precisely
how many votes in his precinct to
be cast for him and how many
against him. Success is in organi-
cation. After the county ticket is
given out let us go to work, and let
every man do his full duty. If we
would win, we must work hard till
the election.

THE Republicans Of South Caro-
lima met in Columbia the other day
and endorsed the Greenback State
ticket. That will give the bourbons
lively work. With fair count, some
which will very likely be had, the
bourbons will have but few votes to
spare. How would it seem to have
Virginia, North and South Carolina
all go against the bourbOns this
year. We hope it may be SO. Let
us work and vote to that end.
