A FEW PLAIN HINTS TO THE BOSSES.

FEW PLAIN HINTS TO THE BOSSES.
We believe it to be proper, and even wise,
tor the good men of different political par
ties to combine in the support Of measures
that are desirable, and which no existing
party favors and is willing to bring about;
but we hold that the dissatisfied faction of
the party that is held to be wrong should,
when they hold the principles of another
party to be right, join and support the right
party, and not ask the right party to for
sake its principles and make a compromise,
especially when that compromise is distaste-
full, and byits distastefulness DISTINGUISHES a
large and respectable number of citizens, or
rorces them to vote in violation of principles
which they regard as sacred.
Whist 10 the need Of a Liberal party in
North Csrolinai A few Democrats, mainly
liquor men, say that they have become dis
satisfied with, their own party, and that the
Republican party favors the measures they
want. II the Republican party favors the
measures they wish to have adopted, then
why do they not come to the Republican
party and help to adopt those measures?
Why do four or FIVE thousand disaffected
Democrats ask more than a hundred thous-
and Republicans to come to them? If a
thing is already what you like and what you
want, why wish to change 1t to something
else? Hundreds, and perhaps thousands of
Republicans in North Carolina, wish to have
these questions answered to their s~atisfac-
ton; and until this is done, they viii not
allow the bosses to drive them anywhere.
Some of US are not yet ready to bow down
to this new political Baal; we are Republi-
cans and not Liberals, especially when Lib

eralism means, as we understands it to mean
in this campaign, a sacrifice Of moral princi-
pie for the sake of political success. We
propose to remain in the National Republi-
can party, the grand old ship that has
brought us safe thus far, till it is duly an
~nounced, from national headquarters, that it
is dead and buried. And even then, we will
take the liberty of going where we please to
find a new political home, and not allow
State bosses to be our dictators in the mat
ter. ~
Our mistaken leaders have signed the con-
tract, but they will never deliver the goods.
Whyl. Because many Of those goods will
be found to be men, and not things, to be
bought and sold like the cattle Of Texas. We
had hoped that negrotrading, being dropped
by white men. would never become the oc-
equations of our, own kinsmen. The fathers
were sold by white men, but some seem to
think that the sons are TO be bought Of men
who are not white. Well, now, the sons are
not not on the market. They are not pur-
chasable by their own consent, and they are
not purchasable by the consent Of others.
Whoever buys us will lose money; for the
property will never be transferred, and next
November will prove it. The Anti-Prohi-
bition party may change its name, lift will,
but it cannot deceive the temperance men
of the State; neither will a semi-Dsmocracy,
by any change of name, deceive any man
who is not yet ready to leave the Rebuilt.

The writer is neither a Scion, a Burke,
"a wise man from the East, nor a saint but
he is cognizant Of some facts which clearly
prove that the original principles which
cemented the colored voter to the party with

Among those in attendance at the colored
mems convention, which adjourned yester-
was Gen. T. Morris Chester, president of
the first railroad in America operated by
Negroes. The road in question is the Will
mington Wrightsville and Onslow Railroad.
In a chat to-day with Gen. Chester he said to
Leader man:
"The road is a bee line from Wilmington
and to Jacksonville, a distance of sixty-four
miles. From Wilmington to Wrightsville,
on the sea coast, a distance of eight miles,
will be built first; the latter point is a great
summer resort. 1t is contemplated to ex-
tend the road to Washington, a distance Of
about eighty miles from Jacksonville, where
it will connect with a road now being built by
the Pennsylvania company, thus giving a
| direct rout from New York to Wilmington
and Florida. The road will run through a
very rich country, and the freights of tur-
pentine, cotton, corn, and the best oysters in
the country, and other products, Dit is ex-
peeted will ensure fine dividends" The pre-
sident of the road, Gen. Chester, is a native
of Harrisburg, Pa, who was educated at
Avery college, Allegheny City, thirty years
ago. He is a member of the English bar,
and has travelled all over Europe in the in
terest of the freedmen. While in Europe he
was presented to the late Gar of Russia at
the court of Sweden and of England. He
is very sanguine Of the success OF the road,
and is receiving subscription for it. Gov.
Pattison and Treasurer Livsey's name are
on the books as subscribers. The following
resolution was presented at the colored con-
v~ention yesterday and passed unanimously.
RESOLVED, Thatthe constructionof the Will
mington, Wrightsville & Onslow Railroad,
in the State of North Carolina, under the
management of colored men, is hailed by us
as a new departure. fraught with incalcula-
BILE results in developing business capacity
and industrial pursuits worthy of favorable
consideration and identifying us with the
material interests and important indus
tries of the country in which We wish the en-
terprise God speed.
In speaking on the resolution Fred Doug
lass said II take'great pleasure in second
ing the resolution: The object which it com
mends is worthy of our consideration, as an
important business movement toward adj
vancing cur pecuniary interests. hope i
will be adopted without dissenting voice
We must engage in enterprises like other
men, if we would succeed in the race of life.
Behind this purpose are men who are re-
solved to complete the work. Let us note
with appreciation SO important an event
as the first railroad projected in the United
States by colored men,"

President Chester will call on our citizens
for subscriptions. He thinks thatths eolored

ing willingness 10 try to secure such an ap-
preparation as would place the company on a
firm financial footing, during the first two years
Of lis existence. The general sentiment run

of the same nature. The brief responses of

tersiic OF occasions such ns this was so wrongly
accused Of being one Of, that is having for its
| object the influencing of Legislators 10 vote in
favor Of an appropriation for the company
| All who have as yet enlisted IN the company,
felt the same spir, of independence which has
since characterized all their doings, tina, they
are perfectly willing and able 10 maintain the
organization al their own expense, and free
from any governmen, control, except such only

But his majesty has wisely and yet kindly
agreed together with number OF the legislator

materially add 10 the success Of the company,
and have tendency 10 make them feel a
pleasure in serving the county's interests.
The burning sea,hing insult flung a, in by
