Attention is called to an article from
the Baltimore american which will be
found in this issue. The remarks of
Bishop Turner will attract notice. He
sets forth the wrongs and indignities to
which colored citizens are subjected
in some. of the Southern States in true
colors, and yet in spirit of manly dig
nifty and forbearance This able and
well-timed exposition of the practical
necessity of some effective legislation by
Congress and Of resolute determation to
have it enforced in all the States should
be read with care and candidIy consid-
cred, not only by the colored citizens of
the Southern States, but by every friend
of civil rights in all the States. This is
especially commended to the Republicans
of North Carolina and Virginia. where
the recent movements of parties have
started a retrograde policy on this sub
ject which requires to be checked at the
very start and resisted al all hazards.
While friends are earnestly at work in
the great cause in other parts of the
country, it does not become North Coro-
lima Republicans to be silent and sloth-
full, and to retire from the work for the
sake of ''coalescing" with dissatisfied
and rebelIious faction of the enemy.

be compensated by increased zeal in their
behalf; but the abandonment of princi-
pie upon the Pretext of expediency is
always wrong, generally unwise, and
necessarily demoralizing. After the de-
velopments of the 'Ec0alescingn opera
tions carried on by the recent nomi-
mating conventions, the true Republi-
cans of the State must scrutinize with
jealous caution the various candidates
who may claim their votes in the com
ing elections. We shall advert to this
subject again and again during the
coming canvass, and shall endeavor to
hold the candidates of the party to a
mindful recognition of equal rights, as
they have always been understood and
profesSed by Republicans in this State
and in the nation This is not a time
when we should allow any step to be
taken backward.

they have been set like statues by some

extreme bitterness to Republicans and
to Republican doctrines. SupposIsg

SENATOR CONGER AND THE WASH

4 New Republican dark horse for Pres

the ". {. Republican, published at Wei

which flies the name of Senator Omar d.

this locality as a rather uncomfortable
factor In Republican party politics If

convention will not show a lot of defeated
Republican Senators in number about
forty Washington Post, My 1S.
The Post is the organ of Bourbon De
mocracy, at the National Capital. 1t is
to be expected that such newspapers will
sneer at such men as Senator Congcr. If
the Post would candidly avow its true
feelings, it would disclose that what the
Bourbon Democracy most fears, in the
approaching elections, is that such obiec-
tlonable leaders as Blaine and Arthur will
be dropped and some man selected as the
Republican candidate, whose history and
character will inspire confidence, and
unite all wings of the party. Such a man
is 0. d. Conger, of Michigan. Hence
this uncivil sneer from the Bourbon or

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,, 1884.
have seen a copy of the North Caro-
lima Republican, and am SO much pleased
with its appearance that l shall make
frequent contributions to its columns
from Washington. The editor is we'll
known and highly appreciated in political
circles here and those Northern Repub-
lieans who have long desired to see the
Old North State wheel into the Repub-
lican column, have taken fresh hope
since he has entered the journalistic field
in that State, and let me remark, just
here, that he enjoys the confidence and
friendship of many prominent politicians
and newspaper men here, and it will soon
be demonstrated that they will aid him
in running bright, sharp newspaper,
which will chew to the line, - and make
North Carolina fossil of high and low
degree retire into hiding places. The

Tending them against the assaults of enc

and he is the only white man in the
South who edits paper devoted to the
advancement and general advantage of
col0red fellow citizens, and he is an old
friend to our race, and our people should
give him the same hearty support which
he has always accorded us, and the OBJ
ject of the Republican should be to pre-
vent the colored people being made tools
and dupes by certain designing men,

THE FUTURE OF THE RACE.

"What do you think will be the future
of your race"
1--WE are not dying out, as predicted
The negro is the junior race of the world
with the possible exception of the Aus
tralians. We have great and grand fu-
ture. Our race will be waxing for ccntu-
ries after the white race will have com
menced to wane. The negro is boy, the
white man When the man shall have
reached old age and the same kind of
dotage that characterizes the American
Indian, the negro will be in his prime and
glory and ruling the world. think in d
few years the better class of colored men
of this country will go to Africa and
build up a mighty nation, while the riff
raffs of our race will remain here The
advantages of migrating to Africa are
many Recently vast discoveries of un-
| told wealth have been made in nearly
every part Of that Continent. God has
his hand upon our race, and will give us
means and marvellous agencies. 1t may
be that the Supreme Courts decision was
| designed by Providence to arouse the
negro to a sense of his responsibility.
Has your race not sufficient advan
tages in this country2'
mo; for no prople can advance who
are treated as we are in some places. In
America black is supposed to symbolic
the devil and white to represent God
But this is partially wrong, for the devil
is white and never was black. There arc
as many blacks as whites in the universe.
There are black worlds, and, believe,
millions of black angels in heaven. In
fact, there are angels of all coIors there.
| know I do not represent my race in
taking the position do as a great mass OF

when they will awake from their slumber
