APPROTTL 'OR UKNUNCIATION.
The New York Herald says that
the opposition of Blaine and Compa
ny "is :i iSadge of merit, "a certifi
cate of charade" It says further,
:uiJ, w hope, truly:''
"They would not have made this violent
war ou i be President if they had not disco
vered that he is not Que of their sort. We
cmiRruiniate him on their vehement anger
and prompt opposition. They know where
they are hurt and who has hurt them. The
way these unclean birds flop and flutter is
a splendid proof Of the skill of the marks
imui. Nothing could have done so much
to establish President Hayes in the good
opinion of the country. It is now plain to
everybody that hedoes not belong to their
set i to
We trust that Mr. Hayes will yet
prove that he deserves the confidence
of the country. We certainly do
not want a continuance of Giantism,
and when tSio President shows any
disposition to shun the blunders and
usurpations of his evil-minded prede-:e9sor,-we,,are
for encouraging him
and helfrmg hiiu in the right direc
tion. Extreme men on both sides will con
tinuo to curse and damn the President
because he is not legally, but fraudu
lently, elected. No one denounces
more ferociously and honestly the
utter meanness aud villainy of that
act than we do. We believe most
steadfastly that Hayes owed it to
himself to have refused any partici
pation in the bull-dozing and cheat
ing. Wo believe he grievously blun
dered, and that nothing he can do,
however commendable and admira
ble, will atone for the corrupt man
ner of his installation. The Presi
dency was stolen, and Hayes holds
the stolen goods. These are facts
that will never .be blotted out or for
gotten. The time of reckoning will
yet come. - .
But what then? Must we refuse
any favors because of all this? Must
we denounce Hayes token he is right?
Must we curse and abuse him when
he refuses to take into his Cabinet
Cameron, or Morton, or Blaine, or
Chandler, or Logan, .or any of the
conspirators? Must we try to force
the President to dog and persecute
the Sonth just as Grant did? Must
we abuse all who say Hayes is pur
suing t he-right road to popular favor
when he stands by the Constitution,
and declares for reconciliation, peace,
prosperity and good will? Is this our
tactics?
We -do not believe the country will
justify or favor any such course. We
believe we should uphold his hands
in all efforts to serve the country
faithfully and constitutionally. Here
are the sentiments we bold, taken
from the Charlottesville (Va.) Chron
icle, a thorough-going Democratic
paper. It says:
"If Mr. Hayes deals fairly with the
South let the South deal fairly with him.
And, above all, do not let us be guilty of
the folly of frustrating any kindly designs
of the new administration by heaping on
it maledictions and abuse before it is a
month old. We are in so condition to
walk on stilts, and will be simply idiots if
we do not get all the good of it that is pos
sible without abandonment of principle,
withstanding the questionable methods
by which Mr. Hayes reached the Presiden
tial office."
We take that to be sensible, prac
tical, judicious. We need help, rest,
.peace. We need justice, right, fair
dealing. We cannot increase the
chances of obtaining them by violent
imprecation, and sharp antagonism,
and factious opposition. We cannot
increase our comforts and prosperity
by endeavoring sedulously to force
Hayes to follow Grant,. We see no
blessings, but curses dire, in a perpet
uation of Grant's infernal policy of
ruin and oppression. No more of it
for us, we beg you. The Chronicle
further appositely says : .
"He may make the government more tol
erable for us, or infinitely more intolerable;
aod if we interpret his inaugural aright, it
depends largely upon the Southern people
themselves whether his administration is to
he a blessing or a curse. His disposition
Mo do the clean thing1 with us seems to be
sincere; but his determination that we shall
do the same thing with each other is equal
ly manifest. It becomes us, therefore, to
be 'wise as serpents and harmless as dam
at least until there is a full development of
the 'Srmthorn nsili "
SBCBETAKI KEY.
We do not believe that Mr. Key's
appointment will accomplish what
the President intended to secure a
large Democratic following in the
South, Mr. Key is not the man for
such work. He is too small a man
too Tittle known, with too little in
fluence, to Induce other men of the
opposition to do as he baa done. It
may be that President Hayes meant
to show to the people of the South
that he was sincere in his declara
tions of amity, and of a liberal and
broad policy.'
Mr. Hayes could not have got a
man from the South to accept a port
folio who had great influence and a
large following. That difficulty lay
in his pathway at tilt? very begin
ning. It was a man o;Mn Iy's
small reputation or nonfc In jjpe-n-nessee

tegnty and honor. His l$wn Jfeop&.
approve, we judge, of his course.
We are not disposed to condemn him
unheard. He professes to be actua
ted by very high and honorable 'mo
tives. We find some extracts from a
letter he wrote before he was -offered
a place, but when he was evidently
"bidding" for it. He writes:
"If, without requiring of me the sacrifice
of any personal ur political independence,
you nod that my name can be used for. the
good of the South, in your best judgment,
you are at liberty to use it. If I were 'to
become a member of an administration 1
should not feel at liberty to place myself in
opposition to its general policy, but should
feel bound to build it up and strengthen it
in the hearts of the people; and if the time
arrived when I could not heartily co-operate
with it, I should resign. As matters
are in the South I should be more useful to
our people in an independent position, and
if, as I hope and believe, the Administra
tion will develop a broad and liberal policy
toward the people of the South, I would
not hesitate to incorporate my fortunes and
self with it."
Mr. Key will doubtless end in be
ing a Republican. We think an out
side, independent position far prefer
able a position in which you are at
liberty to approve or condemn as the
measure or policy strikes you as good
or bad, beneficial or hurtful. The
trouble in accepting a position of
great responsibility under Hayes lies
in the necessity of doing what Mr.
Key says he would do " feel bound
to build up and strengthen " the ad
ministration "in the hearts of the
people." That is to say, having iden-.
titled himself with Hayes, be must
co-operate all the tony through or re
sigu. An outside position will ena
ble you to approve all constitutional,
just, and wise measures, without
identifying yoursejf with a party,
that is in a moribund condition, and
whose lease on life is attenuated and
limited.
Iff VAIN.
We think Hayes and Company
will find themselves egregiously mis
taken when they go out in search of
that vast number of old line Whigs
who are ready to rush, like the Prod
igal Son, into the outstretched arms
of Radical fatherhood, and sav in
accents of profound sorrow and con
trition, "We have wandered long and
sinned much, but cast us not off ; give
us one more chance at the public teat
and the public crib." The Old Liners,
South, will rather stay out in the cold
and "chaw" awhile longer "hard
tack" and live on "short commons,"
than sell out their birthright. We
do not believe the Hayes "mess of
pottage" will tempt Many Southern
men to abandon their principles and
forsake their friends. If they take
office it must be without a sacrifice of
manhood and conviction with the
distinct understanding that they are
none the less Democrats.
It is quite clear that Hayes is mas
ter of the situation as far as the ef
fect of any of his recalcitrant bre
thren is concerned. His Cabinet con
firmed, and the bull-dozers silenced,
he will feel strong enough to go on
with his "policy," whatever that may
be. We prophesy that Morton and
Blaine will sustain the President,
since they have discovered that the
whole country is with Hayes in any
plan of conciliation aud peace. The
Washington Republican, Grant's old
cracked organ, is blowing for Hayes.
A sign, at least.
We believe the six years term for
the President, with no possibility of
re-election, would be voted for by all
the States. Hayes proposes such a
change in bis address. He is com
mitted against a second term in his
letter accepting the nomination. -The
men who framed the Confederate
Constitution improved upon the Con
stitution of the United States, and
they adopted the six years term. So
it is not an original suggestion of the
President. We would be glad to
see it adopted.
The "blue glass treatment" is vig
orously attacked in the Scientific
American as absurd, and the Medi
cal and Surgical Journal ridicules it
as a "silly mania."
Blaine is baeking down. He will
not again assault the President. He
retires thoroughly exhausted, with ft
black-eye and a swollen proboscis.

Raleigh, March 1018?7.
The undersigned respectfully, but
earnestly, protest'against the policy
wbioh appears to have been approved
by a majority of the Democratic
members of this General Assembly,
ih . the election of colored maeris-
tjrates in and for certain oouuties of
tli is State. We believe that in the
said election of magistrates by the
General Assembly a record, to some
extent, has been made for the Demo
cratic Conservative party of North
Carolina, inconsistent with the prin
ciples and purposes of the party, as
expressed during the recent and pre
vious campaigns, rn its party plat
forms, and as expressed by its thou
sands of speakers upon the stump,
who asserted the superiority, both by
nature and education, of the white
race over the colored, and the conse
quent greater fitness of the former
fpr public office, as rulers and dis
pensers of justice; aye, more than
that, who maintained unhesitatingly,
freely and repeatedly, that the color
ed people, especially as citizens in the
same country and government with
white people, were absolutely unfit
for these public positions. We believe
that in the late campaign the appeals
made by the press and speakers of the
Democratic Conservative party to
the pride and sympathy of the white
race, in behalf of its own color, to
secure its rescue from negro domina
tion, was in every part of this State
one of the strongest and" most effec
tive means used for obtaining the suc
cess of our cause. We express the
belief, now, that these principles aud
opinions, asserted by our party, and
grounds upon which we based our ap
peals to our white brethren, all being
ri harmony and just and reasonable
and true, and that if the Democratic
Conservative party varies from its
position in behalf of white suprema
cy, it will, to some extent at Least,
lose that strength, solidity and unity
of purpose resulting from devotion to
principle.
We believe that in black Republi
can counties, of the eastern portion of
this State, or wherever they may be
found in the State, the fidelity of the
white people to their political princi
ples and the material aid they give
in swelling tne aggregate vote tor all
officers elected by the State at large,
and the high taxes they pay to carry
on the State government, and for
other purposes which we forbear to
mention, entitle them to the same
consideration from their party friends
in the General Assembly which Dem
ocratic counties receive through their
members elect.
While we would exercise and ad
vocate the right and practice of choos
ing whites for office in preference to
colored men. we hereby distinctly
disclaim any desire to deny to the
colored race the equal rights before
the law by the 14th and 15th amend
ments to the Constitution of the
United States. Our feelings toward
the colored people are kind and hu
mane in every particular, and we be
lieve the ultimate effect of the course
we advocate, if pursued by our party,
will be best for the country, for all
the people, both white and black;
and if the latter are not flattered and
blinded by advocates of the mistaken
policy we oppose, we believe many
of them will be able to see the situa
tion as we do, and that thus by their
better understanding we may hope
the antagonism between the white
and colored races will subside, and
their differences will be settled upon
a somewhat reliable basis, with less
prospect of disturbance than if we
abandon the principles and policy
which our party has heretofore main
tained. If Democrats do what they
have persistently abused and con
demned Republicans for doing, how
can they hope to escape just censure?
We protest in sorrow, rather than
in anger, against the action of our
political associates, who, we believe
with pure motives, have acted un
wisely, nor are we without hope of a
change of views on their part at some
day in the fnture, however remote,
and an acknowledgment by them of
the correctness of the position we
have in this protest assumed, with
due respect personally for both our
Democratic and Republican fellow-
citizens. A. ii. MOSELEY, .

Conkling, with his studied supercil

Blaine always gets up his efforts with

He makes "points," which often lose
their force by being based on fiction
instead of fact. Mr. Morton has a
brutal, bull dog grip. He is the
ablest man ot the three, and he hits
quick, hits hard and does not stand
on ceremony. He can "take punish
ment" better than either of his rivals.
Mr. Conkling has a cold hauteur and
air of condescension that are very
irritating, and he has force enough
to make him formidable. The paci
