cipation day, was duly observed,
according to previous announcement,
by the colored citizens Of this and
adjoining counties. Rev c. s. Brown
and Hon. @. w. Mebane, two colored
men of influence amid their race
addressed the assembly. The speech
of Brown was especially worthy.
1t was replete with sound sugges-
ton and practical wisdom. He be-
lieves in the colored mans remaining
in North Carolina where he is known
and where, largely, he is appreciated.
He urged upon the race continued
industry and incl6asod inte-esJ III
education. He congratulated his
people upon their progress and conn
cilled mutual sympathy and respect
between the whites and blacks. He
is safe leader of his people. Meb-
anes speech was full of prophesy
fo1 his people. His gathered state
ments from unwritten and unauthen
ticated history we're an appeal to
passion rather than sober judgement,
sound discretion and in the interest
Of peace, progress and mutual good
will. Whether he intended his re-
marks to be so constructed or, not,
we cannot tell but, surely, his words
and his variations were fomentiYe.
IF the colored people ''are here to
stay" then, their leaders and coun.
sellers should strive, in the interest
of humanity, to encourage truth,
honesty, Cancellation and good Cit
izenship. The average colored man
is kind, is peaceable and conform ng
and is, really, happiest when free
from the extraneous influences OF
the unknown Or, the selfish sUgges.
tons of dogmatic and ambitious
leaders at their own homes His
condition, to day, is favored above
any class of laborers in the known
world and he is as free from suffer
ing as any people of like civilization
and like privilege. Before The law
he stands invested with every person
al right and privilege Of citizenship,
He worships God, like other people,
according to his own plans and in
his own way without let or hindrance.
He accumulates and holds property
as other men, receives compensation
for his labor which is adequate and
which, by statue law, is secured even
beyond the power of a homestead
hindrance, His children have the
privilege of the school and his indig-
ent friend or, neighbor has the care
Of the county in which he lives or the
bcnift Of asylums reared aI3 supper
ted by public taxation. If colored
man can't live and be happy in this
country it is because lie makes
himse miserable or suffers himself
to be made SO by others, and the less
he has to do with them the better it will
be for him and his own.
