these ft tales are requested tosenci
delegates to a convention to be neio
at Chattanooga, Tenn., October 13,
1874.
Each of said Slates may send as
many delegates as shall be tleemea
advisable, and Mich delegation will

to which their States resiectively
are entitled in the electoral college.
All Republicans, whether of these
or other States, wno sun earnestly
seek to maintain the principles on
which the Union was defended, and
to Inaufrurate which in the South

The Republicans of the South,
equally with the good citizens of
other localities, demand peace and
security that prosperity may fol

them should be made manifest by
this Convention. The best men
and minds of each State should be

Would it not be a good idea if we
at the South were to stop purchas
ing anything at the North until
that section shows a disposition to
treat us justly ? This is one way to
make our importance to the coun
try known and fe!t. Richmond En
quirer. From our early boyhood we have
at Intervals seen such suchstufTas
the above in Democratic papers.
When we reflect that most proba
bly the pen and ink with which it
was written was of Northern man
ufacture and that the coat, pants,
vest and hat of the author, (unless
he was dressed in Virginia jeans)
were manufactured at some north
ern mill, it only shows that the
editor of the Enquirer Is not will
ing to carry into practice that grand
Idea of making our importance felt
which he so strenuously urges upon
others. The Enquirer should re
member that people are not in the
habit of biting off their nasal organs
for tho purpose of -spiting their
faces. Tho Enquirer should recol
lect that for four long years the
South purchased nothing from the
North, but instead of rendering
our people any more prosperous, it
only had the effect of making us, as
it were, a section of beggars. So
great was the desire to again open
trade with the North that the ut
most efforts were put forth by the
so-called Confederate States Gov
ernment and the people to effectu
ally run the blockade and bring in
Northern manufactures and North
ern products. You may rest assur
ed, Mr. Enquirer, that your doctrine
will never be a popular one with
the soft-handed gentry who com
pose the Democratic- party. You
may prate and preach about home
manufactures and such like stuff,
but yon must remember that the
wealth and Intelligence" of the
South will never consent to discard
their broadcloth for country jeans
and their calf skin boots for brogans,
to say nothing of the soft kitfglo ves,
diamond pins and glittering watch
chains, all of Yankee make, merely
"to make our importance to the
country felt." These things make
tho Democratic gentry feel of Im
portance to themselves, which Is of
much" greater importance to hem
than making the country feel Im
portant v
And, again, does the Enquirer
Wish to call down upon the head of
r tho Democratic party tho indigna
tion of the ladies of the South ? Is
the editor of the great Democratic
organ of Virginia so ungallant as
to require of them that in order 14 to
make our importance to the coun-
try felt," they should forego the
silks, satins, and other articles suita
ble to feminine fancy and which our
Northern friends so well know how
to manufacture, and don the lin-sey-wolsey
gowns of their grand
mothers ? Would the Enquirer re
quire our ladies to forego the pleas
ure of that " love of a bonnet" for
the ugly old skull bonnet we used
to see during the war ? If the En
quirer wants them to do these things
it will be mistaken. The ladies
would rise in a rebellion which
would at once cause you to reoal
such an innovation upon their in
herent rights.
No, lir E,quir?rt there is a bet
ter way than the one you propose,
to make our importance felt. It is
to go to work in good earnest to
build up the waste places of the
South and by industry and economy
to retrieve our broken forlunes. We
have already had misery and beg
gary heaped upon us by the advo
cacy of. just such doctrines as this
prohibition of Northern purchases.
The extract above smacks too
much of that 44 king cotton non
sense
which, as
say, is the
John Randolph
would
44 Iliad of all our
wfMs uenenu uoon n. iir. in
quirer, that if every Southern man
were to refrain from the purchase
of a single article at the North for
0
years to come, the Falls of Niagara
would continue to exist, and not
nprhans half a dozen street cars
l X" -
would cease to run in New York
City.
Use your efforts, Mr. Enfjuirer, to
replace Virginia in the front ranks
of American States from whence
she was torn by your ill advice. She
has had enough sectional experience.
Let her rest in peace in the future
and regain her once proud position
as a member of the Federal Unicta.
Mutual Dependence Our Ite-
lation to the Colored Race.
There is no one fact so thoroughly
established, and so universally ad
mitted, as that mankind is mutually
depentlent one upon another, for
the existence which they enjoy.
The man possessed of his thousands
of dollars, could exist but a short
period without the direct aid of the
farmer, mechanic and artisan his
4 1 1 11 A J .1
money secures me iaDor inai auua
to his fortune his money secures
the labor that places bread on his
table and cloth's upon his person ;
without the assistance of his fellow
man, he would drag out a short,
miserable life. Without labor la
bor suited to the climate, the cotton
fields of the South would soon be
come a wilderness of weeds; and
that the white man is unsuited to
the cotton fields, is no longer a prob
lem. Therefore, it being conceded
that the labor of the colored man is
the only labor made profitable in the
South, it must be admitted that our
present and future prosperity de
pends entirely upon that element,
once slave, but now frre fuul inde
pendent citizens.
North of Mason and Dixon's
line, cotton is not grown the sea
sons are short, and tho crops of
wheat rapidly mature, and by the
aid of art are gathered into the
barns. In that locality, experience
has long since established the fact of
the non-productiveness of negro la
bor, and it was for this cause, more
than any other, that the New Eng
land States abandoned slavery not
by freeing its slaves by selling
them to the Southern planter. Time
has made the slaves freemen, but
still, their labor is all-important,
and cannot be dispensed with. Ow
ing to the absence of such a system
of public schools as they desire, and
to the fact that they would be
brought into competition with un
skilled labor to which a fancied
degradation attaches, on account of
our late 44 peculiar institution"
foreigners will not come to this
section. And now the fact at
last stares you in the face, that the
colored man must remain with you
if you would yourself live in the
South, and live prosperous and hap
py. In a word, the Southern white
man is dependent upon the South
ern colored man, and in return, the
blacks are dependent upon the
whites, who are the landlords and
control the soil. The dependence.
therefore, is mutual, and this being
true, we are lost in wonder and
amazement when we witness the
conduct of the Democratic party, in
its attempts to grind into powder
the very labor that runs their car
riages and pays their way to the
Northern watering-places ! Indeed,
the great aim and devout wish of
the Democratic party is to drive the
negro from their midst, if they will
not again yield as serfs, and deny
their own rights to free citizenship !
We have ever held as a truth, that
the only difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties
was the hatred for the negro cher
ished by the Democratic party
and the events of the past few
weeks have only strengthened us in
our belief.
If the white people of the South
are bent on self-destruction, wehavo
to tell them they will succeed much
sooner than they anticipated. If
they continue in their war upon the
colored population. Drive them
from your farms, and all that mado
those farms profitable, is gone I The
acres of cotton that looked like vast
fields of snow, become desolate
wasles fences rot down, cattle be
come 14 lean and lank,"- and the
Southern cities, once proud with
their cotton marts,become haunts for
robbers, and are forsaken by those
whose money helped to pay the ne
gro for his labor. Murder, arson,
and kindred crimes, are the spectres
that haunt the sleepless nights of
the remaining few. Civilization
takes its departure to more favored
climes, and a common ruin is the
legacy for the suicidal policy which
you are now inaugurating.
Judge Cloud.
We learn from the gentlemen of
whom we have spoken that it is
told over In the Wilson-Cloud dis
trict that Cloud went to Raleigh a
short time ago and laid in his com
plaint with Gov. Brogden concern
ing the treatment he was receiving
at the hands of Wilson, who was
going ahead holding Courts as
though no one questioned his right
to do so. Brogden told him to "go
home and quit beina d d fool un
til the Supreme Court decided the
matter" aid the sequel is that the
44 able bodied jurist " went. Char
lotte Observer.
We copy the above to correct a
few statements therein which are
not true. In the first place, Judge
Cloud has not been to Raleigh since
Mr. Wilson has been Judge until
the present week. In the second
place, he has not 44 laid in" any
complaint with Gov. Brogden, either
in regard to the treatment he was
receiving at the hands of Judge
Wilson or any other person. It is
not true that Gov. Brogden 44 told
him to go home and quit being a
iXd fool." Gov. Brogden never
used any such language to Judge
Cloud or any other person. Neither
is it true that Judge Cloud went
44 home," for he has been at Beau
fort until Monday last, enjoying the
sea breeze and the delightful sport
of blue fishing.
So thegenllemen whom the editor
of the Observer saw at Statesville,
who had just returned from Yadkin
Court, made or repea'e 1 a story con
taining five distinct falsehoods.
We copy the following article
from the Washington Republic. It
contains valuable suggestions which
the Republican party of the nation,
and especially of the South, would
do well to note:
" Theieriod has again come round
when the people of many of the
States are called upon to select men
io represent tiieni in me -uegisiature
and public offices of the respective
A 1 II f 11 T 1-1
States and in Congress. This is an
important trust; for upon the at
tention given to the duty of select
ing upright i ulers and statesmen
the prosperity of the nation and
welfare of the people largely depend.
It matters not that our national re
sources are abundant, that nature
has given us an unexceptionable
climate and a fruitful soil, that this
earth is annually blessed with sun-
1 1 1 A
snine anu snower, guaranteeing
abundant harvests, and that these
biasings the treasures of the soil,
mines, forests, and sea are all, un
der the hand of industry, converted
into available1 wealth and means of
comfort and enjoyment, yet the
Eeople will be made to suffer and be
rought to humiliation if they have
not honest legislators and upright
rulers. It is truthfully remarked
that 44 The best gift of God to na
tions is the gift of upright men, and
that country is poor whose citizens
are not noble, and that republic is
poor which is not governed by noble
men selected by its citizens."
When Moses had been three
months gone from Egypt at the
head of a nation of two and a half
millions of people, acting: in the
double capacity of law-giver and
judge, he received a friendly visit
from his father-in-law, Jethro, the
priest and prince of the Midlanites.
When he saw Moses sitting tojudge
the people " from morning unto the
evening," he said to him at the
close of a day's severe and exhaust
ive labor: "Moses, the thing thou
doest is not good ; thou wilt surely
wear away, for this thing is too
heavy for thee ; thou art not able to
perform it thyself alone. Hearken
now unto my voice, I will give thee
counsel." Moses listened to this
governor of a little nation in the
wilderness, and "did all that he
said," as the inspired narrative in
forms us. And what were his in
structions ? ," Provide out of all the
people able men, such as fcir God,
men of truth, hating covetnusness"
for rulers? Can we, in selectinsrour
rulersand representatives, do better
than follow these instructions ? Can
we afford to do less?
It is remarked by a discriminat
ing writer that " Tue signs of decay
in the life of a nation show them
selves, as soon as anywhere else, in
the character of the men who are
called to govern it. When they
seek their own ends and not the
public weal ; when they abandou
principles and administer according
to the personal interest ofcliaues:
when they forsake righteousness
and call upon insatiable selfishness
for counsel; and when the laws and j
tho frame-work of the Government
are but so many instruments of self
aggrandizement, and of oppression,
and of wrong, then the nation can
not be far from decadence."
No people whose patriotism has
not become a thing of the past can
afford to put any but tipright, intel
ligent, public-spirited working men
in office. The very best citizens
that can be found are hone too good
to be put in nomination. And a
really capable, patriotic, public
spirited citizen, when he becomes
the choice of the people, will rarely
decline.the duty of serving his coun
try, even if it should be at the sac
rifice to some extent of personal in
terests. But beware" of men who
are sliding round among the citizens
in the community and tcire pulling
to secure their own nomination."

discouraging facts in this Memphis

future. This devotion of their lands
and their capital exclusively to the
cultivation of cotton has for many
vears proved a disastrous blunder
to our Southern planters. They
have depended upon their cotton to
supply them, not only with all their
household and farming utensils ana
implements, their clothing, furni
ture, fcc, out ro supply mem wnn
provisions, to a great extent, from
the Northwest, when, for manufac-

these important matters of South

Southern planters cannot be too ear
nestly directed. iV. Y. Herald.
Governor Brogden.
A good and faithful public officer
is, in these days, such; a rara avis
that when found a note of it ought to
be made. Gov. BrogdenTs course has
thus far been such as to command
the approbation of all impartial
citizens, lie has invariably shown
a disposition to act fairly and right
ly, and in any matter of doubt he
follows the Attorney General, his
h -gal adviser, instead of being hur

and prejudice like some of his

The Northern Elections.
Tho indications of the results of
the Northern elections are growing
more cheering every day. As the
time approaches to again make a
choice between the Democracy and
Republicans the disposition 13 to
stand by tho party whose past and
present records are equally worthy
of praise. The people feel that to
permit the Democracy, with all its
recent infamies still covering it, to
come again into power would show
a degeneracy ifh worthy the Amer
ican character. The great mass of
the people of the North, the East,
and the West still have faith in the
Republic and in the noble party
which is now guiding it to a higher
plan of civilization. They feel that
the ascendency of the Ilepublican
party means the future glory of the
nation. North Carolinian.
It is a remarkable coincidence
that ever since the war, as often as
events at the North seem to prom
ise a reaction, or in other woras, as
often as there are signs of Demo
cratic activity or symptoms of pos
sible success, the flickering lamp of
treason ana maraer in portions of
the South flares up in the socket.
These facts cause 'thoughtful men
everywhere to feel that the mission
of the Ilepublican party is far from,
being ended, and that a Republican
Administration is just as important
still as ever. Ibid. ;
