They are the men of the white race,
the men who erected great institutions,
who built wisely, who created laws and
governments, and developed resources.
They are indeed the masters Of this
little orb thrown out into space which
we call the earth. There never has
been in the history of this Aryan race
a nation who have submitted to the
rule of an inferior race. We do not
believe hat in the changes Of time,
it will fully come to pass that ignorance
will control intelligence, or that an in
ferior race will ever dominate for any
great length of time any Of the descen-
dants Of this race of which We write.
In the north of our country, in any
state in the north, it would be impossi-
BILE for an inferior race to hold long
it's supremacy. SO when the north shall
calculate or build upon the idea that in
the south an inferior race shall long
control the public affairs of any one
state, it has built it's hopes and its
| views upon the sand under combina-
tions by which a few white men may
unite WITH the HcSIOcS, q oldI me-
| come demoralized and so prostrated for
| a while that the negroes may In tact
| be the bosses, but as certain as night
| follows the day, and light comes after
darkness. h men of the superior race
will inevitably assert their manhood
and their superiority, snatch from
the dangers, and distractions, and
prostrations, the triumph or lntelll-
gence. of virtue, Of the appreciation OF
government, of the benignity OF ele-
waited manhood, and purity ana all
that glorifes and adorns. so IL pao
men, or ambitious men of the WHITE
race, desert and use the helots Tor thelr
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT to promote their
own ambitious schemes, their w SELL
fsh plans, and for awhile succeed, the
reaction must come, and the pest ele-
ments Of the state must combine TO
snatch the flower of safety from the
net Of danger. We believe in the SUI
premecy of the white race, of the An
glo-Saxon race, of the men OF the
Aryan stock, for upOn that supremacy
DEPEND the prosperity, the glory, the
enow the peace of a state. 80 we
NAV expect soon or late the white men
of North Carolina will regain full con-
troll of public affairs Of this ancient
commonwealth. It may not come IN
wear. it may not come in four years
but it will come. 1t would be as unWlse
to follow Canute's example and sit py
