In this he is about right, the republicans to go to congress from this State are, Pool, O'Hara, Cannady and Dockery. OUR POSITION. The Messenger was started in the interests of the colored people, and its politics Republican. It was not intended to champion the inter ests of the Republican party, but was intended rather to be a news paper devoted to the intellectual, moral and material interests of our people. It is expected that all papers will say something of the politics of the day, and as a matter of course we dipped into politics and got on the Republican side, not by accident, but because we love the principles of that party. And as that party or the leaders of that party have seen fit to endorse a ticket put out by another party which accepts the principles of the Republican party, we do not see wherein we sacrifice any political principle when we de fend a ticket in another name, bnt upon the same principles. “Patience" takes us to task and thinks we have gone too far for the Liberal party, and intimates that something may “drap" heavy npon some Liberal candidate. Per haps we have gone too far for the Liberate We have spent our mon ey, our time and our little talent, because we believed we were right We have asked for no office, want none, and have refused two or three—yet our friend “Patience” is mistaken of our wisdom. The Lib eral party are only liberal in senti ment They do not pay our bills— hence if we do not pay more atten tion to our own individual interests and less gratuitious labor for politi cians, something will “drap” heavily npon the Messenger. We favor right and justice. We are for the success of the Liberal ticket, but we do not care to do all the'work and get nothing for it bnt enemies, and break down with our little Messenger. We are willing to tote fair. Mr. Harris said last Saturday there is no straightout Republican party. We would like to see the day when there is no difference in the principles of the two great par ties of the country. We would like to see the white vote of the South divided as the white vote of the North, and colored men voting with each and all parties. To see that day we would say let the Re publican party, the Liberal party, the Democratic party and all other parties go, for then the colored man would be a free citizen and vote ac cording to the different interests in the different sections as white men do, and all caste and prejudice would soon be forgotten. His vote would be sought after by the differ ent parties, and many would vote for all parties in all sections, his manhood wonld be respected and he would not be abused by any party because he supported a particular class. The break must come sooner or later. These Liberal movements msy do much towsrd bringing them about, but the leaders must stand to their promises. We care not for the Republican party nor tho Dem ocratic party so far as names go. “A rase by any other name is just as sweet.” It is the principles we want, and as white men honestly disagree, black men will soon learn to do so too.

Editor Post: —Ty attention was called to an article telegraphed to the Star from Raleigh, stating that the meeting of colored men recently held in that city, were bitter In their denouncements of the Liberal move ment, Ac. I wish to say that the author of said telegram is entirely mistaken. The hitter speeches were relative to the non-recognition of the negro in the distribution of Federal patronage in this State and not in opposition to coalition or the Liberal movement. Geo. W. Price, Jr. Tho above is clipped from the Wilmington Post, and it will be seen that the Messenger stands in full accord with Mr. Price and those colored gentlemen who met in Ral eigh last week. We do hot oppose the Liboral movement, but we must see more liberality for the negro. Give us more of the Federal patron age and all will be well. George and Joe Price both are all right and the colored people will hear them at any time. MR. W.'g. MEANS. As hat been announced, Mr. W. G. Means has withdrawn from the field as a candidate for Solicitor. We regret to see it, but, as the gen tleman has seen proper to pursue that course, we believe he has good and justified reasons for doing so. We believe Mr. Means was honest and conscientious in the course he has pursued, both in announcing himself a candidate and in with drawing from the canvass. We do not hesitate to say we believe the bourbons brought all the force to bear against him they could possibly muster. We arc sorry he saw prop er to yield, as in tho case of Col. Jones, we are not disposed to cen sure Mr. Means. Wo confidently be lieve now, while Mr. Osborne would have gotten some of the colored votes of this county, if Means had not beaten him, he would have scared him out of bis boots. Tor the Messenger. Mr. W. C. Smith : Editor Messenger : —Seeing in your last issue of the Messenger, that you think the leaders of tho Liberal party have made promises to col ored men and have failed to come up to them, and that you appre hend some trouble on the account, I take this occasion to say I believe the leaders of the Liberal party are not much different from the old leaders of the Republican party, so far as the negro is concerned. When there is an office to be filled, or money to be paid, a white man is sought j for, they say, what is the use of rewarding a negro with of fice or paying him for any political services; he is satisfied, his vote is secure; there is no use bothering af ter him. I am a liheral hearted republican, bnt I regretted to see you take such a bold and advanced stand for the Liberal party before we really un derstand what they are really going to do. It is true you ought to know your business, and you ought to be able to take care of yourself; but I think we ought to have more than John Schenck appointed to of fice, and good permanent offices at that, before such an influential or gan as your Messenger turns its whole force in the interest of that party. You have advised all colored men to vote the Liberal ticket straight, and I believe your advice is much relied on. A few weeks before you asked, “what is the negro to be profited?” Now I suppose it is false promises and kind words. Again you continue to complain. Are these men not paying your expen ses as they do white men’s, or are they makingyrm do their work for nothing? Os course I believe you have better sense than to run your self in debt and ruin your credit for the sako of tho party whe« they have the money and are giving it to other men. If the promisee of the party leaders are not fulfilled, Mr. Editor, ono thing is certain, a number of col ored men will fail to vote at all, and something will certainly “drap,” and “drap” heavy upon some Libor al candidates. Patience. Charlotte, Oct. ICth. G. u! oTof oTfT Office of District Master. Fayetteville, N. C., Sept. 1882. To the various Lodges in No. Ca.: In issuing to you this address, 1 only obey the dictates of what I conceive to he my duty. On the 2nd of August, at a meeting of the District Lodge in the city of Char lotte, I was chosen for Grand Mas ter for the term of one year. In accepting the position, I did it with the avowed purpose of discharging to the best of my ability and means, all duties connected therewith. The District Lodge with us is a new in stitution, and one that the members of the Order throughout the State have not become thoroughly ac quainted. But brethren let us wake up. The Grand Lodge cannot ac complish the work assigned to it without your aid and encourage ment. Some have seen fit to disap prove of the Grand Lodge. This, 1 think, is because they have not thoroughly understood the plan or given it a sufficient trial. It is true we have had the District Lodge two years and very little seems to have been done, but this is all a mis take. While we may not be able to see all at once wbat has been done, we are confident of this fact, that it has given the G. U. O. of O. F. in North Carolina, character that it never had before. And to-day it stands in the great van of humani tarians and philanthropies of socie ties in the Old North State. Let us see to it then that our Grand Lodge don’t suffer on our account. But let us move steadily on, step by step in that noble emulation in striving to help suffering humanity and carry out the principles of our noble Order. Remember, brethren, that every day the seed of Odd Fellowship is being sown in new soil, and as these seed spring up, if we expect them to grow and be fruitful trees we must look after them. There is no better way to do this than to build up your Grand Lodge, so when we meet as a Grand Body, we can see the wants of the Order, and with the combined ef forts of the intelligence and moral worth of the Order, we can see about supporting them. But the main thing I desire to impreso on the different Lodges is the financial support due the Grand Lodge. Let every Lodge that has not settled up do so at once, for no institution can prosper unless it gets the proper financial support neces sary for it. And to those Lodges who are dis posed to complain about the Grand Lodge, I will only say, they have not done their duty. So I say to you brethren of all the Lodges who are finding so much fault, do your duty and come up to the help of the Grand Lodge and you will not find so much room for complaint. So let us all stop complaining and go to work, so when our labors here as Odd Fellows are ended, we may have the Pass and Token that will admit us into that Lodge where we shall be freo from the ills, misfor tunes and sufferings of this life, “And perfect lore and friendship reign, Throughout eternity."

Chappelline, a Catho lie priest missionary of that jilace, hav ing no food at the mission, left with an Indian family in quest of ducks aud geese around the lake. The father and five of the Indians sailed in the same canoe, and two other Indians in a sec ond. It was blowing a gale, and the priest’s boat upset. The other bout came to the rescue, and succeeded in picking up the mother of the family and one of the little girls. They hasl •uied to put these ashore, and went back to save the others, but all had dis ippeared. The last seen of the priest ne was swimming with a young girl on nis back. The bodies of three Indians were found shortly after, but that of the unfortunate priest had not been found up to last accounts. GOLD. Great chance to make, money.
