Republished from Messenger of J uly 17, 1883. Wayne County, July 12, '82. The voters are the great jury of the country to decide on such questions as may come before them, and it is of the greatest importance that they should decide fairly and impartially. Suppose it were known that a jury in any case, even before they were sworn, were de termined to decide in a certain way without any regard to evidence, law or justice, it would certainly be suf ficient cause for good men to consider that such a jury were influenced . by ignorance, prejudice jor corruption. If truth and justice would have any effect with the colored people, in caus ing them to form unprejudiced opin ion, it might be well for them to con sider how much they have been mis taken and deceived by many design ing men, whom they have regarded as their leaders and best friends. The onlored neonle have! been taught to oppose he Democratic party, right or wrong, as a sentiment and not as . a principle, without properly consider erimr the error and delusion into which such a blind and reckless course would lead them. The Democratic party are better friends to the colored race than the white Republicans, who only use them as tools in elections for political purposes. It seems j that the colored voters do not think how often they have voted the Republican ticket, and how little they have been benefitted bv it. The white Republicans get the turkey and the colored tne ouzzara. Now which party; has done most for the colored people of JNorth Carolina i Of course the Democratic party have done more for the colored people than the Republican party have, done, and impartial history will show that this is linHpniahlv true. 1 It was a Democratic Legislature that infused new life into the free school in this State, for before they took hold of the free: school system it was a mere sham. The Republicans had so squandered the free schoo funds that there was no money left to support the schools; But when the Democratic party came into power thev brought order out of chaos and rftvived the schools ! bv taxing them selves and their own property , through thejpepresentatives, tor the suppor of colored schools the same as whitt schools. It was a Democratic Legislature that first furnished State aid to the State colored normal school at Fayetteville for thft education of colored schoo teachers. ! It was a Democratic Legislature that firt nrovided for the erection of a la'nre and commodious colored iusti tute at Raleigh, for the free education and support of the colored deaf and dumb and blind, which has been, and will continue to be, if the Democratic Dartv continue. to control it, of incal culable benefit to those unfortunate classes of the colored race. It was the first colored institution of that kind that was ever built in the United States for the seperate and exclusive education and support of the colored deaf and dumb and! the blind. That noble public charity of the State will stand as a monument to the humanity and generosity off., the Democratic partv. It is sheddirig its benign ben elits'and blessings upon the poor un fortunate colored children of the State. It is supported by liberal ap propriations, made! by Democratic Legislatures, by taxes -upon all the taxable property of ;the State, and it would be absurd to deny that seven eighths of the money raised by taxa tion, for support of! free schools and all charitable institutions for the col ored race, is paid by the Democratic party. I It was a Democratic Legislature that first provided f dr building a large insane asylum, near Goldsboro, for the support and care of the poor and unfortunate insane of thefcolored race. A large addition to the colored insane - asylum is now being made, to make more room for the insane patients who may be carried there for support and medical treatment. This is another charitable institution for the support of the colored insane, and another monument to the real and substantial friendship and genetosity of the Dem ocratic party of this State to the col ored people. The Democrats have shown that they aie better friends to the colored race, on account of their misfortunes, than thja Republicans of Massachusetts have shown. The constitution of North Carolina was amended by the Democratic party in 1S75-'7G. and. it secures the same rights to the white and colored race alike. It excludes no colored man from voting because he cannot read and write, or because he has not payed . his taxes. In the Republican State of Massachusetts a colored man is not allowed to vote unless he can read and write, and has paid his taxes. The. constitution and laws of Massa chusetts, adopted and enforced by the . Republican party, would prevent more than 75,000 poor and unfortun ate colored men from exercising the right of suffrage in North Carolina. No where is there a respectable colored man who would be willing to ex change, if he could, the constitution and laws of North Carolina for the constitution and laws of Massachu setts. If there be such a one, he must be influenced by ignorace and preju dice and not by good reason and com mon sense. . In Rhode Island, another Republi can State, and has been so all the time, a colored man is. not allowed to vote unless he owns real estate of the as sessed cash value ofi $34.00 at least, and shows his tax receipt for the same year before he can vote. Would the colored men of North Carolina be willinfn tn omtian' mey could, the constitution and laws of this State for the constitutiori and aws of Rode Island? Every colored man would say no! In Jf ennsylvania, another Republi can State, the white Republicans do not allow any colored man to hold any office of honor or profit, although there is a large colored population in that State. The city of Philadelphia has been entirely under Republican control for almost twenty years, until he last year or two, and no colored man was ever permitted to noia any office of honor or profit under Repub- lcan rule, or even to vote mum he has paid his taxes. But when the present Democratic Mayor King was elected to that office, he put several colored men on the police force, and showed more respect for the claims of colored men than any republican! had ever shown. In Pennsylvania j there are many-fiolored men of education and respectability, and yat the white Re publicans have never recognized the claims or merits ot the colored people by allowing them to hold any public office. I The New York Globe, a publication devoted to the interest of the colored race, savs that "Pennsylvania's col ored population of 85,535 j is as com pletely ignored by the politicians as if it did not contain 30,000 colored voters, while the colored population of New York, numbering i about 05, 000 souls, with a .voting foiree of 25, 000, enters no more into the calcula tion of politicians here than if it was a disfranchised element," I The same may be said with equal truth of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, with a considerable colored popula tion in eaeh. and vet the white licans do not allow any colored man to be elected to any office! in any of these States. The 500,000 colored peo ple in all the Republican States of the North have no man of their race as a a member of Congress, or in any other office of honor or profit. At the city of Washington the Re publicans have full control of all the offices and patronage of the govern ment, r They have the President and both Houses of Congress, but the white Republicans do not allow the colored Republicans to hold any office of honor or public trust. There is only one colored man that holds any office of distinction at Washington, and that is ex-Senator Bruce, formerly, from Mississippi. There are morjs than 10, 000 holding office under the govern ment at Washington alonej and more than 100,000 in the United States; but it is the same case everywhere. The colored Republicans do the voting in elections, and the white Republicans get all the principal offices. In the 46th Congress, which was the one before the present, the Democrats had a majority in the House or Rep resentatives, and the power to choose whoever they pleased. The, Republi cans, well knowing that they could not elect a Republican clerk, nomi nated J. R. Rainey, a colored man from South Carolina. He had been a 4-member of Conerress from that State for several years, and was familiar with the duties of the officej He was nominated merely as a jokei but was not elected. At the organization of the! 47th Con gress the Republicans had a clear ma ioritv butf'Ralnev was left out, and EdwardMcPherson, a white Republi can. from Pennsylvania, was elected clerk. His salary is $4,500, with an additional of $600 for horses and wag ons, and large extras besides. There were about 150 appointments at the disposal of the Speaker, Clerk, Ser truant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the House, and many of them with sal aries ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 a vear. and thev are only on duty, when Congress is in session. All those ap pointments are now held by white Re nnhlipans. excett the laborers, the spittoon cleaners, and privy cleaners, who are of course colored. The white Republicans get the wheat, and the colored the chaff or cheat. This imperfect sketch is intended merelv to heln vindicate the truth of history, as to which party are the best friends to the colored race, tne ne publicans or the Democrats. Justice.

On last Monday . at White Hall, a good crowd assembled to hear the speeches of Maj. McClammy and Capt. Galloway, our candidates for Congress and Solicitor, respectively, and B. F. Grady, Esq., of Duplin. The cause of Democracy was ably presented, by each of those gentlemen, and pood feeling prevailed and enthusiasm was aroused which will tell at the pools next month. One incident of the occasion is es pecially worthy of note. It has been suspected for some time that Mr. Frank D. Koonce, o Onslow county, had an itching to bejeome an indepen dent candidate for Congress, only re ceiving sufficient encouragement from the Republicans of the district to in duce him to come out and announce himself publicly. Indeed this hanker ing for a taste of Washington city life govovernment pap has for many years been observable in that gentle man. It is said that he has been on a "still hunt" in several counties of the district for more than a week, and, at the time and place mentioned, and be- fore the speakers had half reached the conclusion of their effective work, the form of Mr. Koonce was seen behind a building not far distant from the stand, his manner and bearing: being Renub-Bfevidentlv those of a most attractive and interested listener, who preferred not to be recongnized until the efforts of the Democratic candidates were closed. Being observed by an old ac quaintance, the fact of his presence was made known to Messrs. McClam my and Gallowaw, and he was forth with invited to address the people. This was a most iortunate circum stance, for Mr. Koonce accepted the invitation, and thus exposed to the public, while refusing to admit that he was a candidate, the indisputable fact that he was one in disguise, and that his game was to catch the De mocracv napping. Knowing the stringency of the times and the scar city of money, he saw with the eye of a genuine demagogue the best string tor him to play upon, and he launched into a long argument upon tne nnan cial condition of the country, the leg islation thereon and the attitude of the two leading parties concerning the same, and then proceeded to lay down his Dolicv for the cure of the financial evils oppressing the people, taking occasion time and again to de clare himself a Democrat "of the An drew Jackson stripe." but never los ing an opportunity to stab the Demo cratic Dartv in the back, to the de light of the Republicans present, nearly all of whom were colored. But the richest part of the day's proceed ings was to come. If McClammy was able, eloquent, strong in argument and sparkling m wit in bis opening speecn he was all those in a far greater degree in his reply to Koonce. He had received just the right spur to put him at his best, and if ever a crowd enjoy ed a rich repast of cogent reasoning, broad bright humor and scathing re partee, those assembled at White Hall last Monday, enjoyed McClammy's closing effort theie. Every stroke went through the skin of disguise worn by Koonce and laid bare the flesh of demagogueism beneath it. He discussed the questions of finance and currency with great skill and to the entire satisfaction of his audience. He called attention to Mr. Koonce's abuse of the party of which he (Koonce) pro fessed to be a member, and to his ef forts to divide that historic and grand old party in the very hour of battle that its mighty foe might break its columns p.nd overwhelm and destroy it. The eloquent speaker asked why are these appeals made to Democrats to throw off their loyalty to the party which has saved them their liberties and their constitutional rights, and showed that the sole purpose of Mr. K. and others who give such advice is to aA vanfifl their own individual ends and gratify their own greed foroffice. We cannot pretend to tollow Mr. JUc- Clammy in the many forcible argu ments and strong points made by him, but we can say that those and the side splitting anecdotes which he told,to the discomfiture of his opponent, will long live in the memory of the people who heard him. One or those stones will never be forgotten, and we fear the aDolication of it will cling to Mr. Koonce as long as he lives. Let us congratulate ourselves, fellow Democrats, that the "still hunt" of a crafty foeman has thus soon develop ed, by so happy an jaccident, into an unmistakeable disclosure of hishar acter as a real contestant for the Con gressional prize, and let us make the assurance of his deteat doubly sure. Koonce. the "still hunter." must stav at home after the election. Argo, the "artful dodger" and the change ling and the self-constituted candidate, must find the same doom. Honest Democrats will support the honest and competent nominees or meir pairy Another able and manly presen tation of the issue of this campaign, mostlv from a State point of view. Was madeby the gallant Solictor of this District. Capt. Swift Galloway, in his nowerful and characteristic way. It is needless for us to say that the speech was a crreat one one that did full instice to the cause and the occasion. He re-viewed the record of the old Republican party and drew a vivid nicture of the desolation and rum and lawlessness that prevailed taxes enormous, the people dispirited! and heart-broken, the judiciary exhausted when not sold like a sheep or a yard nf calico. Have the people forgotten those days, he asked! Then he spoke of the present peace apd happiness and reform in public affairs which; had attended the return . of : the Demo cratic party to power in the Stated taxes reduced; fthe Stated credit; re stored to a position equal to that of any , State, asylums built for white and colored, railroads extended, schools flourishing, all public charities amply met. All this without increase in taxation beyond the constitutional limit. The people, he said, ought to keep the party in power since it had done so much for public good and public wellfare. And they will. The Republican party is a party of deception. It ever yr as party of false promises. Here v in. wayne they attempt to arouse,, prejudices against the Democratic party on Erohibition and no fence question, .et them first see ho wi their own candidates stand on both these ques- ions. ' o NEIGHBORHoANBWS. Items Ot Interest in and Around Walter. Our protracted meeting is still going on at Ebenezer by Rev. Dri Dodd and Bobbitt, and other local ministers, but we have not heard the result up to this (Mondavi night, as we could not at tend regularly. i Miss Julia Smith, or Stony (Jreek, has returned home after spending some ime with her mends over here. Miss Mary W. Thompson, of Smith- field, is visiting Miss Sallie Smith, at the asylum. Col. Crawford has been quite sick several days Mr. Needham Gurley was stricken with paralysis last Friday night, and since then has been very low. The interesting little son, Joseph, of P. H. Howell, has just gotten up from a spell of bilious fever, of a week's duration. Well, the long taiKed-or campaign was opened to-day by Mr. B. F. Ay cock, the Democratic standard-bearer for the Sheriffalty, who made us a short talk then the other "one-horse" candidates, minus John R., who did not face the music till late in the day, came on in succession. The same "old coon," was on band, too. we en deavored to get up a few notes, which we will append. The crowd was much larger than was anticipated, and most of them paid good attention to what was being said, and when the "old wheelhorse" Democrat, C. F. R. K., arose, he got off some good jokes on unv. Rrorrnen. and wound nn bv sav ing, "he wanted to go to Raleigh, thinking he'd get grown, and be as big a man as the Governor1, and that he was going, too," and we think the good old man feels it. The Governor's introductory was brief. He didn't seem to be as long winded as usual, and seemed to hold back for a reserve fire. We are sorry the Governor is in such company. Charley Aycock, rEsq., after telling the people how about tne .no fence" question, alleviating the prejudice of the masses, proceeded to handle the Governor and Dr. Person with gloves off, making a plain, practical, common-sense talk, telling the people what Dr. Person did for the N. C. R. R. and State bonds, &c. . He also vouched the Governor's record, and the party he represents, in the Holden-Kirk war, giving both those gentlemen some hard blows. ' Col. Humphrey had but a few words to say. W. F. Kornegay, Esq., made a good speech vindicating himself in regard to the stock law and prohibition ques tion, which seems to be the one impor tant issue. He was interrupted some by independents, who will be left in the cold on election day. If the result of to-day is an inkling of the rest of the campaign. Whoop-ee, won't Tyler Smith & Co. "make thiDgs lively," sure enough. We couldn't stay to hear Mr. C. Aycock's reply to the Governor, who was speaking when we left, bringing his "reserve" to play upon a few whites and seyeral colored brethren. DUPLIN NEWS AND NOTES. Chronicled by our Warsaw porter. Ke- Exceedingly dry. No rain in this county for a month. Miss Blanche West, of Hallsville, has entered the C. B. F. Institute at Murfreesboro. Last week the Supreme Court grant ed license to practice law to Mr. A. D. Ward. At the commissioners meeting last week Treasurer Watts' books were ex amined and his accounts were found to be correct.

A large force of hands are at work in Warsaw removing the raihoad warehouse and relaying the side-track, making preparations for the Warsaw and Clinton railroad. One night last week thieves visited the cotton gin of Col. A. M. Faison, and carried off a bale of cotton. The rogues have not yet been captured. We heartily endorse the Messen ger's manner of dealing with prohibi tion and the stock law issue. They are not political questions neither party has endorsed them. Dr. K. P. Battle, President of the University, has written some very readable articles for the New8Ocservei on the origin of our county name Duplin. Do you agree with him, Prof. Grady?

Cook,;Henning, Lauderdale Ca Term. A LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY, Killing of a Student at the Uni- versiyt by a Negro. The Raleigh News-Observer has the following particulars of the lamentable tragedy at Chapel Hill, on the morn ing of the 10th inst: "At 1 o'clock this morning Jacob A. Freeze, a student of the University from Rowan county, was killed. About 10 o'clock last night the pres ident of the University was informed that some students were threatening to beat a negro named Pat Brewer, for alleged abuse and cursing of them. He immediately went up street, found two of the young men together and used successful endeavors to make them go to their rooms. They denied however, that they or any others in tended to whip Pat Brewer. The president walked up and down the streets and about the college for some time. Again, at 11 30 o'clock he went up and finding all quiet went to bed. It seems that after this two students got into a dispute with Brewer ' and other negroes who cursed them and threw stones after them. They went to college and induced Freeze and three others to go with them to "de mand an apology." Freeze and one other, both armed, went to the door and while engaged in conversation with some of the inmates firing was had at them down the stairs and from the windows. They say that the negroes fired first. Freeze was shot through the heart and died within a few minutes was dead when Dr. Mallett reached him. Young Fleming, a student rrom uabarrus, was woun ded. The president of the University was soon informed of the occurrence and repaired to the West Building, where Freeze's body had been carried. Prof. Gore had already arrived, after wards protessois Winston, Toy, Vena ble. Philips and Atkinson, for whom the president had sent, arrived. The mavor was promptly aroused and an investigation had as far as possible, the leading criminals having fled. West Morris, Pat. Brewer and Jessie Harris, negroes, all left town. An other investigation was had this after noon and will be continued to-morrow. Messrs. Manning & Son have been employed to aid in the prosecution and dispatches have been sent to such points as it was deemed advisable describing the criminals. The vigor ous action taken has reconciled the students to letting the law take its course, Diligent search for thecrimi nals has been made in this commun ity and will be continued to-morrow. The wituesses make it a!case ot mur der as there were only two students at the door and they had not attempted to force their way in when the firing occurred. Of course the lamentable tragedy gives the faculty of the Uni versity the deepest pain, but it does not appear that it was due to any neg lect or failure ot discipline. There is no evidence that any of the students had been drinking. The killing was done on the outskirts of the town near the Baptist church. The body or young i reeze wen home to-dav, after services in the chapel by Dr. Mangum. SAMPSON JOTTINGS. Paragraphs Caught on the Fly by our Clinton Reporter. Rev. B. F. Marable,D. D., occupied his pulpit in the Presbyterian Church, last Sunday. The Dr. has been spend ing his vacation, of nearly two month's in Virginia, and returns to his pastoral work much improved in health. His sermons Sunday were most excellent ones. The Eastern Baptist Association which convened in Clinton the 5th inst. was well attended. Many able and instructive sermons and address es were delivered. We trust all visi tors enjoyed their stay in our town. Superior Court is in session. His Honor Judge Clarke presides with grace and dignity. His charge to the Grand Jury was pointed and exhaus tive. His very name seems to be a holy horror to offenders of the law. North Carolina needs more Judges like Walter Clarke. Hon. Wharton J. Green is expected to arriye here to-night, (Monday) and will speak to-morrow. The Colonel's host of friends in Sampson will be more than delighted to meet him. Maj. Chas. W. McClammy will also address the people, Tuesday. The County Canvass is now in pro-; gress. The democratic nominees are followed by several so called indepen dents, led by Sampson's Old Republi can Boss, Clifton Ward. They, the independents, will be badly left in November, and the democratic ticket elected. The greed for office through out this state is appalling. But the white men of North Carolina will not aid in putting the reins of government of the good old State again in the hands of the party that once robbed and ruined it,by voting for republicans under the guise of independentism. Our merchants have all returned from the northern markets, and their new stocks of goods are now display ed. Trade has brightened up mater ially, and although the cotton crop is short and the price is low, our farmers who are not burdened with debts for fertilizers, or enslaved by mortgages, have money sufficient for their pres ent demands. Would that our farm ers could see their mistake in incurr ing debts that make them the most ab ject slaves, and instead, economize, operate their farms without mortgages, make their own fertilizers, work hard er, and then, and not till then will they be a prosperous and happy people. The dry weather continues, and af fords excellent opportunity for cotton picking. The dust, however, is ex ceedingly disagreeable and a nice shower of rain would be most wel come.- : . Mr. Walter E. Faison, is on a short visit to. his family. ' A rest k from his ardurbus labors at Washington City. will no doubt greatly benefit him i- His ixiciiua are gitu iu bco mm. Rev. A. L. Phillips and family, are visiting relatives and friends in Clin ton. We learn Mr. Phillips will soon receive a call to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville. He is an able young preacher, and is destined to become one of the first divines in the State. We hear many compliments paid the enterprising, energetic owner and edi- or of the Messenger for - his contin ued efforts to make the paper the lead ing journal in the State. The publica tions of Dr. u Talmage's sermons will add greatly . to the popularity of the already most popular i paper in this section, way the messenger con tinue to grow in public favor, and al ways prosper. . , Puilo GREENE COUtf i:$TE31S.

There is a great deal of dissatisfac tion because the County Commission ers removed tne polling place trom Snow Hill, lhe Board of Commission ers remind one of the old corn-shuck ing song "Up Roanoakaaddown Dan river, two overseers and one d d nigger." There is no means of telling what this board may do, between now and the 2nd day of November The speech of Mr. h . M. Simmons, on Tuesday last, was very acceptable. It is highly complimented, both by Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Abbott, one of the colored nom inees, spoke inHookerton on Saturday evening last. He is decidedly a col ored man. bo much so, that we are afraid he will not fool enough of his brethren into voting tor him. He was replied to by "Martine" the African gentleman who spoke for Mr.O'Hara. While Marti j is not endowed with that gift of eloquence et cetera, that charac terizesCapt. Swift Gallowayhis voice on Saturday was equally as loud as that gifted gentleman's. He complete ly flayed Mr. Abbott, and is no doubt the smarter man of the two. If Mar tin continues he will ere long absorb the Republican party in Greene. The Senatorial delegates of Greene and Lenoir were completely over whelmed by Mr. J. E. W. Sugg last week. The Republicans are doing tneir aesperation are excusaDie for all their errors, except that of nomi nating a Democrat. Their second convention in Kinston on Saturday resulted in a failure to induce any one to run. Capt. Darden makes it so warm for his opponents, that it is hard to get one to oppose the power of his argument. - There is no effort yet put forth by the Messenger to give to its readers theworthof their money, more worthy with signal set for a pilot. The weath than that, of publishing the sermons r was rough, and a high sea running. of the Rev. Mr. Talmage. The one in last "week's issue is worth the amount of a dozen subscriptions to any one. Let the good work continue. The r m i rrt Messenger reaches many eyes, that do not open the Bible once a year, no doubt. One. INSTITUTE NOTES.
