. As for ourselves we ask nothing po
litically, we want that plainly under--stood,
except what the people them
selves choose to give us. We prefer,
always, to submit our claims, if we have
any, to the voters, and let them decide
the matter. We have no fight on any
one except those who are trying to de
stroy the state and the Republican par
ty. ' We are ready, willing and deter
mined to strike hands with any man or
set of men, who will declare in favor
of local self-government, anti-monopolies,
and equal rights for all men before
the law and at the ballot box. And we
will fight whoever comes op for office,
who does not stand square on these im
portant questions.
Wnile we do not wish to fight Re
publicans, or'we Bhou'd say pretended
-Bepablicans, (for whoever is not in fa
vor of the above principles certainly is
not entitled to be called,1 Eepublican)
but we are determined to do so if they
do not advocate and carry cat the true
platform of the Eepublican party. We
are in favor of peace, but we want
; peace -on an honorable basis. Peace
bought at the price of principle would
be humiliating and disgraceful. And we
hope every man who is sailing under
the Eepublican flag will place himself
. right , before the coming campaign, on
the great principles of the party: Equal
rights before the law for all men; equal
: rights of the colored men lor their share
of the public patronage. . We want to
8ee"every while Eepublican place him
self iquare on this roct of justice and
-equity before j-another campaign, then
victory will be easily won. ,

the people are thoroughly aroused,

piece by piece, until to-day the state
rrovernment oWna nothincr but the atata

. people have been gradually taken from
.them until to-day tbey only have the
privilege left them to vole for a few
state oElccrs and members of Congress.
The Constitution has been amended,
torn and patched, until but little of it
in lefMo the people. The whole policy
' of the Lourbons has been to concen
trate an power in a lew selected gen
tlemen of the state, and tb,e property
placed in the hands of the monopolists.
The people have watched the proceed
ings of these gentlemen, at first with
amusement, then with suspicion, and
now with great fear and Amazement.
The high handed acts of the state offi
cers and the legislature has about
ruined the stale and people, and never
were a set of men more determined
than the citizens of North Carolina afe
to-day, to arrest these mad officials and
hurl them from power They want a
leader, they will nottrut any of the
present Bourbon 1 eiders, therefore they
must look scmewhero elsev The antl
Bourbou Democrats dislike' to follow
their old political enemies, the Repub
licans, and therefore they are locking
for a young, active, brave, sincere, In
dependent anti-Bourbon to lead them
to victory, and when such a man is
found, if tho Republicans will harmoni
ously "unite upon him, the state will be
carried against the Bsurbon Democ
racy by 40,000 majority. The old He
publican party leaders of 1863, 1870
and 1S72, have lost caste with the Re
publican niaascs. They took the stale
with a majority of 23,000, and when
tksy managed the last campaign of
1S76, the state went Democralio by
12,000. This was caused from several
reasons. Tho first, on accdnnt of the
bad acts of the Eepublican legislature
of 1SGS to 1S70. The second, was on
account of the ilcllen-FJrk war, aM

1 The colored people, at their conven
tion In Onslow county, on the 7th insfi,
passed a resolution recommending a
state convention of the colored citizens
of the state to take action ' concerning
the excluson of the colored race from
the jury box by the officers of the law.
The argument used by the gentleman
offering the resolution was, that if the
entire colored population of the state
would meet and demand equal rights
in the courts, and let the officers of the
law see that they stood unanimous on
the question, and were determined to
not only demand their rights, but have
(hem, these officers would probably con
cede them; full equality before the. law;
ana n mey aid not, tne colored race
would be better prepared to meet and
defend their rights by holding this con
vention. ' ' . ; '..
We believe Goldsboro, the place re
commended by the convention at Jack"
-, . - . . i
sonville is a good one. A state conven
tion properly conducted by our colored
friends is bound to result beneficially to
them. In about sixty counties in the
state colored men have been systemati
cally excluded from the privilege of serv
ing on juries. This is a right guaranteed
to them by the laws of the land, andlflas a lawyer, and our cotemporary does
it cannot be enforced the people should
know it, in order that laws may be
passed by Congress which will better suit
the subject. That there are colored men
in every county in the state fully quali
fled to serye on juries no unprejudiced
man will deny. That they are honest
and will give a correet verdict, we all
know to be true, it matters not who
the defendant or plaintiff may be. That
being conceded, we take it that every
honest man, let him be white or black,
who has sworn to defend the laws and
Constitution of the United States will
see that the qualified colored citizens
have, in thelfuture, theirfull rights in
ine courts.
How an officer who has sworn to en
force the law can wilfully and ; inten
tionally break it, and not be considered
a perjurer, we are unable to understand.
Jbvery sheriff, and i every county com
missioner in the slate who has exclu
ded colored men from the jury box, on
account of .color, is a perjurer, no one
can dispute, . for they swear to en
force the law, and yet they not only
break it themselves, bat they advise
others to do likewise.
Our advice to the colored people of
the state is to sggitate this question;
canvass ' it on aU occasions. Vote for
no man : who will not pledge publicly,
upon his honor, to enforce the law in
this regard. . Bring it up in all politi
cal meetings and demand from every
white officer, let him be Democrat or
Eepublican, equal rights for the col
ored citiasn with the white before
the courts ot the state, and we guaran
tee that when they stand perfectly
united upon tills important matter,
and will move forward with a determi
nation, the battle will; be half .ever,
for;the Officers wilt see that they must
enforce the law.
. We nope the convention will be held
and the leadiag colored men of the state
will meetand slow .the masses of their
Jbrethren in counties where they have
no able coertd leaders to lookout and
defend their rights that they have
friends in the state who will.; The con
vention will unquestionably be of great
benefit, and will finally result, we hare
no doubt, In a complete victory for n
strict enforcement of the laws of the
land. 'Arr

We have received a communication
from a member of company H. of the
10th rejriment N. u. troops in the late
war, in which he suggests that the
members of companies G. and H. of
the iOtlf regiment meet together some
time during the coming spring Or sum
mer and have a jolly reunion. We en
tirely agree with our correspondent,
concerning this" matter. It has now
been seventeen years since the compa
nies were disbanded, at fitantonsburg,
on the 26th day of April, 1865, and it
seems to us that the 17th anniversary
of that day would be a very appropria-
ate time to have the reunion. It would
be a great pleasure to us to meet again
the boys with whom we served In camp
for four long, weary years. Who we
suffered with, and who we learned to
love; there never was a band of men
who got along more agreeably together
than did those two companies. When
the musket and the sword was laid
aside the officers and men acted as
brothers; there were no privates or offi
cers until the tap of the drum, then all
knew their places and performed their
duly as officers and soldiers. 1 :
. Yes, we shall be happy to haye a re
union of these two companies brought
about, and as4, Capt. Jas.lL. Manning is
the senior officer of the, regiment, now
hring, in the state, we call Upon him
for his advice in the matter. Also
Lieutenants John W. Senders and
Thomas B. Haskett, and, In fact, we
w.ould like the views of all the officers
and men concerning this subject and
invite their communicatio ns.
The Star has just discovered that Col.
Wm. Johnson, and Hon. Charies Price
are very small men intellectually. If
cur cotemporary will examine its files
for a few months back, it will find that
the' Star has on several occasions, and
very often, referred to these gentlemen
as men of ability and standing. Col.
Johnson is too well 'known in North
Carolina, as a big man politically, to
be sneered at by Mr. Kingsbury.
Mr. . Price is a young giant on the
stump. He stands high politically and
itself no good by trying to belittle every
man's ability who may be independent
and brave enough to differ politically
with it1 . ; ; --A ";
t ' Col. Johnson has held many import
ant positions in the Democratic party,
and while the Eepublians have fought
him politically, no one has ever charged
before that he was not an able man.
The Democratic parly, in the day when
men of ability lead it, and when can
didates were selected for their ability
and ' integrity, Col. Johnson was fre
quently honored by being given high
positions; Hon.' Charles Price ; has
served the state, in the Legislature fre
quently for a young man, and was unan
imously made Speaker of the House of
Representatives by that : party. He
would have been to-day in the Legisla
ture, but ; he declined a re 'election for
the purpose of giving his attention to
his large law practice. But during
every campaign he has been in the field
canvassing for the Democratic candi
dates. And if he has lelt that party, as it
is asserted, it has been caused on account
of the corrupt men who have the control
and management of it. Mr. Price is
connected by marriage with the family
of the late Gov: Morehead: he stands
very high socially, and should he come
out for the anti-bourbon party it will
not be for office or money. He is rich
and has a splendid income, and could
hare gotten any office he wanted in the
Democratic party. And, therefore, we
repeat, if he has severed his connection
with the Democracy it was caused by
the corruption of its leaders, and the
departure of that party from its prin
dples ef the olden time, i
tujs star.
: There h no question about the fact
that our friend Mr. W. 11. Bernard,
proprietor of the Wilmington iar. is
one of the best posted men in state pol-
iucts in North Carolina, to-day, and
why he allows so many errors in his
paper is a mystery to every one. When
he looks after the editorial department
of his papr it is clean and usually cor
rect. He is a practical printer as well
as splendid manager of a newspaper,
and editorials' wriUen by himself are
able and exceedingly interesting. And
our advice to him, if asked, would be
it he cannot give his editorials a person
al supervision, to tarn the fior into a re
ligious theatrical or literary paper, from
the fact that Kingsbury was never in
tended for politics.. He can make more
mistakes to the square inch than any
pitical writer in the tle. We feel a
very great ptlde ia any enterprise start
ed and ran in this city, and especially
when successful, and the&rr vpte
three yean ago was exceedicgly so,
therefore the yery sppartat decay In

inent North Carolina Eepublican that
he "intended to cast his vote for the

people was the grandest day recorded
in the history of the world. On this
day the galling yoke of slavery was
stricken from your hecks and you were
made a free and happy people of this
Union, and you should celebrate it as
long as the flag of the American Union
shall continue to wave its broad stripes
end bright stars o'er the land of the
free and home of the brave. The flag
now waves Over a great country. We
can boast of the longest railroads, we
can. boast of the ablest men and the
prettiest wemen that God's sun ever
shone upon. Who among us that feels
himself so exalted as not to be proud
of ihi great country. We also now
have a free country, where every man
regardless of his color or condition can
worship God according to the dictates7
of his own conscience, and that too
under his own vine and fig tree, where
none dare .molest him or ' make him
afraid. The colored people had not
enjoyed that freedom long, but now the
white 'people could rejoice that they

thU one grand act of his life, should
lire immortal, if it were possible, even
when Jtistory itself had passed away.
lie asked the colored people if they
hal proven themselves worthy of that
blood bought liberty which so many
t-rtcious lives were sacrifid. He said
je?, in the Jale war which gave them
freedom they had tested their value on
in a n v a bard fought field. From the
Potomac to the Eio Grande their f ad
vancing columns could almost always
be fuund in advance of their, white
comrades, and since the war with great
unanimity they had given their. adhe
sion to that party which they bad been
taught to love. I say to day with im
punity that no colored man can vote
?gaii:st the Eepublican party without
sacriGcibg that high and exalted: man
hood which has ever characterized our
American citizen,' for every right you
enjoy to-day was given you by that
prrtr. It was thought by some at the
close of the war you who had been so
suddenly emancipated and enfranchised
might become so intoxicated that you
would make yourselves unworthy citi

remarkably well, especially in old Car
leref, where you have ever been ready
to vindicate the majesty of the law and
in bringing criminals to justice, I also
cocgraiutate you upon the rapid stridei
you have made towards educating your
selves and your children. I would bid
you God peed in this glorious work,
for history and experience hare taught
us that no nation can ever be enslaved
where the masses are properly educa

this great cause of education, for by so
doivs it will elevate you from a state
of superstition and prejudice, and make
you valuable citizens and an honor to
the God who created you. I advise
you to become more identified in the
soil, and try to gain by honesty, eeno
my a::d industry a homestead of your
own and then help to develop the great
resources of old Carteret, and make

price of all kinds was, therefore, $35.55
per ton. Supposing cash had been
paid for the 85,000 tons, the total
amount paid by cur farmers for fertil
izers would have been three million,
twenty-one thousand, seven hundred
and fifty dollars. ; Since, however,
about twice as much smraoniated goods
were sold as acid phosphates, the more
correct ; value of fertilizers bought by
bur people would havn been about
three million, two hundred thousand
dollars. But how many farmers paid
cash for their fertilizers t As far as I
can ascertain, hardly one-tenth of them.
In the cotton country not one-twentieth
of them.' Deducting one-tenth, though,
paid for in cash, we have 'seventy-six
thousand and five hundred tons paid
for at the rate of 425 lbs. of middling
cotton In November for ammoniated
phosphates and 300 lbs. for acid pbos
phates. i Atll cts. per ibvthis is f 33.00
for the acid phosphates and $16.75 for
the ammoniated phosphate per ton
Supposing that the tobscco men pay
for time at the same rate as the cotton
men, we have three million, two bun
dred and sixty-five thousand dollars as
the round sum paid by the nine-tenths
who buy on the credit system Or,
adding the amount paid by tho one
tenth cash men, we have the graud
total paid by the slate for fertilizers as
about three million, six bncdred thou
sand dollars.
Thus for six mouths lime upon pur
chases, worth three million, two hun
dred thousand dollars .last May, our
farmers paid four hundred thousand
dollars, which is equal to an interest of
25 per cent, per annum.
This is but an illustration of the
workings of the credit system pursued
by our farmers throughout the whole
country. The rreat majority of them
get every thing they buy from their
commission merchants upon about the
same terms. During the summer, when
bacon is worth 9, etc. a pound, tbey get
it from their commission merchants for
a pound of cotton in the fill. It is not
surprifeiqg that many go duwn under
this system mortgsge first, their crops,
and then their lands, until finally tbey
become the; vassals of their merchants
upon tne land, which they themselves
once owned. It is rather to be won
dered at that- so .many prosper under
such a system. It is a prosperous agri
culture, indeed, that can sustain such a
drain. ' .'.-'' . ;'
AUhoczh I telieve that the ute of
good super phosphites up 50 our c tapirs,
cotton and j tobacco, is proven to be
eminently advantageous, let me im
plore farmers not to be tempted by this
possibility of gain to buy more of them
than they can certainly and easily pay
for, in the event of a poor crop. Let
them rather boy j ut what they can
pay cash for, direct fiom the manu
facturers, and thus save dealeis profits.
Some msoufactnrers, who pay the state
tax and submit their goods to exami
nation, specially, solicit' such trade.
Let them utilize further every ; avail
able borne material ana mate ' their
own menu real If all the cotton seed,
stable manure; straw, Ac, are carefully
husbanded, they will be found to go a
long way. Three with cU phosphate
and kalnitr, which arc vul reasonably
cheap, will make excellent composts.
I will give some illustrations of excel
lent borne made fertilizer in a laltr
