The Independent party Of PennsyI-
vania will no longer disturb the purity
of American liberty. The greatest of
the independent and the noblest Ro-
man of them all. Mr.. William Still.
---------- 1T LlDeTty Hall,
writes a letter TO the Christian Recorder
denying the allegations of the BEE,
which. undoubtedly, shows up his
weakness and cowardice. Mr.. Stills
denial will not exonerate Mr.. Robert
Purvis, which is the aim of his letter.
Those who have denounced these cow
ards have been manly enough to admit
of their association with the Demo-
cratic party of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Sweeney is now Republican and
editing paper in Detroit, Michi-
gan. The colored people will now see
that they have been misled 10y false
leaders Of their own race. The fact
of Mr.. Still having Abraham Lincoln's
picture in his hall and house, will not
excuse him for his endorsement of w.
Allison Sweeney's speech in his hall.
Mr.. Stills quotation Of the Bible will
not excuse him and Robert Purvis.
III. Price Williams should be more
manly than to allow Purvis, Still,
Fortune and others to use him as a
cats-paw. We have more evidence
against Purvis, Still, Fortune and
other traitors which will show how
basely the negro has been misled.
When we shall have been indicted by
the grand jury, we shall then let slip
the dogs of war.

WE want it distinctly understood
that We don't propose to allow this
paper to be made the vehicle through
which the preiudiced may satisfy their
preiudices against persons who are
doing what they can to build up our
institutions. In last weeks issue of
this paper one of our associates allowed
to be inserted in this paper colnmu-
nication of preiudiced and vulgar
character against the president pro
tenn of the Bethel Literary, which we
do not endorse. We understood that
that communication was false in every
particular, and that the president pro-

Intentionally. Again, We believe that
the regular president of the Literary

and prosperity of the association. We

treated by any communication that

In taking the chair Mr.. Richard
Mason said he was complimented in
being chairman of such respectable
meeting of representative colored men.
1t is time for us to show that we are
worthy of the boon of freedom given
us. We must act for ourselves, and
not depend upon the white people.
The question is shall Col. C. Irving
Ditty be retained in the position of
internal revenue collector, which he SO
ably fills, or shall he be sacrificed to
satisfy those who oppose him?
Rev. Mr.. Fitzhugh said Col. Ditty is
the first man in Maryland with a pa,e
face who has carried out promises
made before the election. Applause.
1t has been considered that the colored
men are perforce part and parcel of the
party. If Col. Ditty, because he has
appointed a few colored men to offices,
is antagonized by the white republi-
cans, we want them to know that we
are watching them. If he is removed,
it will be for some other reason than
BECAUSE Of his health, which has much
improved The office does not need legs,
but brains, and if there is man who
has brains it is Col. Ditty. If we find
men who are willing and really to rec
ognize our race, l say shame on the
colored man who would not stand ly
him. Applause. A black man never
officially put his foot in that office until
Ditty went in. Applause. The
man who could protect black man { n
the streets in November, 1875, shou d
receive the aympathies of colored
people now. 1t is another article in
my profession of faith to stand by Col.
Ditty in public or private life. Ap-
plause. am glad to see this fight.
because it will revive the dormant
colored race. 1t will only commence
with the removal of Mr.. Ditty. 1t
will not stop until colored men lead
the colored people, and are supported
by them with their suffrage. A repub-

Mr.. Fitzhugh offered Il series of r2s-

Mr.. James Jackson made a speech
in support of Mr.. D,tty which was el, :
quent and logical. Mr.. Jackson is one
of the most influential and richest
colored men in Baltimore. The meet
ing consisted of the best colored
element in the Slate. Mr.. Jackson
said that we must have journal in the
city of our own. S,eqs will be taken
to publish a paper in the city"
We shall also be glad to see them
start their new paper. We want to
know what they have to say for them
selves, not to hear what their bosses
have to say for them.

The political revolution through
which Virginia has been redeemed from
the grip and sway of the bourbons, has
also resulted inIa complete and thorough
harmonization of all the conflicting
elements, heretofore in the Republican
organization. 1t will be found in the
coming fall elections, that all those
Republicans or nearly all of them that
have not been classed as Coalitionist or
Readjusters, will support the general
ticket of the anti-bourbons, and rally

Malone. Such a course as this if

OUR VIRGINIA LEADERS.

When the gavel of the presiding
officer of the senate, and that of the
speaker of the house of representatives
of the 48th. Congress shall rap their
respective bodies to order, two very re-
markable individuals will occupy seats,
one in each chamber, in the senate Mr..
n. II. Riddleberger, the able. brave
and fearless Harry of Navara" of the
Valley, and Captain John S. Wise, son
of the late Governor Wise, of Virginia.
Both of these gentlemen but short
time ago were leaders in the demo
cratic party in their state; with Gene
raj Malone they broke loose, and to-
day are leaders, and owe their election
mainly to the colored republican vote
of the state. that went to them and for
them under the promise that, swe will
furnish better state government, a
more economical one, better laws, more
justice, better schools and more of
them, and finally such state of affairs
that Virginia will be governed in the
interest of the people, justice and right,
and not for the sole special benefit of a
defunct aristocracy."
In Virginia-before this revolution
under General Malone was made a
fact, a black man stood just as much
chance to get justice as a cat would to
get out of perdition without claws.
This movement, that has resulted
in success to the cause of anti-bour-
bonism, and which has only been sue
cessful in Virginia, that is of the
southern states, require certain things
to be in the leaders that it might be
Nccessful, nerve and courage. These
two little simple words signify much,
in politics in the south and had not
General Malone, Captain Riddleberger,
Mr.. John Wise, Judge Paul, General
Groner, and the true and trusted men
such as Col. William Lamb, of Nor
folk, and others that have been tried,
as by fire, possessed these essential
elements, together with intelligence,
character, and antecedents of a politi-
cal social and "war record standing rs
they did; showing by unmistakable
evidence, as they have and are yet
doing at all times, that they will
resent insults and fight the devil with
fire, the movement would have died
then, rs it has in other southern states.
But in Virginia something good has
come ont of the revolution. 1t re-
mains now to be seen whether or not,
the leaders Of the party there will treat
their "black allies" as the Republican
managers have been doing for the past
year in other parts of the United
States, especially in the Lee Richard
son contested election case in the late
47th Congress.
