The ability of th people to govern themselves has never been - proven. Elect our Supreme Court and Senate of the United States by the people, led on . by the 'demagogues, and see where wa shall land within fifty years. The' average citizen of America, tak ing all the negroes and Immigrants and -others ullowed the privilege of suffrage, is not- able to govern him self. In Greece and Rome centuries ago, when the intelligence of those people as a race Was equal to that of our national House of Representa tives, self-government failed, and those, the grandest nations that have now e" "net -practically as a countVrr'Orey- Mixtures and Strip es and Solid Blacks And why? Because they were led on by Cleon and Alclblades of Greece, and 'Caesar and his predecessors of Rome. We have them here; we have the same love fdr gain that those peo ple had; but -we have not the In telligence that they as a country had. May education be disseminated all over the land, to the poor and rich, to the black and white, to the high and the low, and may the love of jus tice go hand in hand with It, so that ignorance and dishonesty will prevail no more; and the hideous mbnsters who are ready to sell the good name of the country, and the very country Itself for power, will be trampled un der. Our own good and great State has them; they are powerful; they know not where to atop. But Just as sure as these words are -written, the good people of North Carolina, who supported Thomas Jefferson and who support the Democratic party as hei Intended it to be, are go.lng to rise up and in righteous Indignation run out of tho State the contemptible, hypocritical political tricksters Infest ing it. May God speed the day! For take this and consider Jt, and keep on considering it, and your time will not bo wasted: that man who at tacks the Judiciary of 'this country. State or national, Is a danger and curse to the State, and has no right to be at large in it. And if these soulless, howling dem agogues bring on a conflict of Juris dictions which will again open the wounds -of - sectionalism, may we-bo directed from above how to deal with them. W. W. iMOT.
