8 THE WEEKLY EKA. - t WEEKLY ERA. Bombshell ia the Radical Camp. To Uie Editor of the Era : Such is the heading o$ an article which appears in The Daily News of the 18th irwt. The defunct Democracy seem to be overjoyed that a portion of the white Republicans joined with them in voting for the resolution introduced by Houston of Catawba, "condemning the supplemental Civil Rights Bill pending in Con gres3.,, They seem greatly to re joice at the dim prospect of a split in the Republican ranks. They profess to believe that the colored people of the State will desert the Republican party because the white Kepublicans in the Legislature wouiunot vote, en masse, ajrainst Houston's resolution, or rather the v substitute offered by Jones of Cald well. Vain hope! Delusive faith I Again are you doomed to disap pointment. Oh most astute De mocracy ! ! That you are adepts in intrigue, and wily in laying your plans, and fixing up your wire works, no one is disposed to deny. But that you always fail when you attempt to deceive the colored man is perfectly manifest, How many of the Democrats voted against Houston's Bill ! How many of them desire 4,the supplemental Civil Bights Bill now pending in Congress" to become, a law? How many of them are willing that the colored people shall continue to en joy the privileges which have been granted and guaranteed to them by the Republican party ? How long would it be, if they could get con trol of the State and National Gov ernment, before they would strip us of these rights and privileges? How long could any of us testify in court, serve on a jury, vote at the ballet box or have the privilege of sending our children to school, or have one of our own color to preach to us from the pulpit? nswers how long? . Republican friends to stand by us expectation, made a startling prop in opposition to Houston's resolu- osition : he tells this Senate that the tion, who to our disappointment voted the other way ; but we would be fools indeed if this disappoint ment were permitted to drive us from the party, which has secured to us so many high and inestima ble privileges, and make us ally ourselves with a party which has vehemently, and persistently, en deavored at all times and in all places to deprive us of those priv- lieges ana reduce us again into a state of servitude and bondage. No never, while life lasts and God per mits us to enjoy a modicum of common sense, will we think of de- rating the Republican party and taking nn our nhndo with th lm taking up our abode with the ku- klux Democracy. A Colored Republican. OF SENATOR MABSON, OF NEW HANOVER, On the Proposition to lay off the new County of Lilling ton. Mr. President : The Senator from Sampson (Dr. Murphy) enter tains thfi nnininn ihat. t favnr tho passage of the bill now bending,but ln this he is mistaken. It is true that I introduced the bill, as I am accustomed to do when thevare sent me by citizens of my Senato- &tti.T j-"rrw V Vt.lli V J V UVfT VS-Al ties out of the territory -belonging to ether counties. I hold that it is wrong in principle, and If the pre cedent Is to be established in this Senate by the passage of this bill, it will be adhered to by future Legis latures, and the lines and bounda ries of our counties will be indeter minable. Now, sir. I have listened atten tively while Senators, who favor the new county bill, discuss Its merits, and I find that there are two reasons ecly advanced by Senators why tho bill should pass j whllo on the contrary thcro are numerous reasons why It should cot. Tho Senator from Earn men rays that tho pccplo of New liar; .VS. ccanty aro In liver cf tho proportion, but I will ay la reply to tho cnt la ram thai bo It nihtcL'rn, ur.J ho cannot r:rrc fully ccstrzi!!c; tho Etitcrnrnt X ctu .' ct o m . I .. ,.... I .m f t.ft .. .- k l liU. ' . J llvo la C;3 ';, T3 izilti Hzl county by petition sanction it. I affirm, Mr. President, that a large majority of the people are opposed to this bill. I believe the gentle man from Sampson thinks so him- self, or the amendment onerea Dy myself submitting the question to the Qualified voters, he would ac cept. But it was said by the Sena- OT irom uupun ijui. ivieu; uiuu our petitions did not appear to be genuine ; that very few names were signed by the parties themselves. This may be true, out l wouia ass the gentleman to examine carefully the Detition of the friends to this measure, nd tell the Senate how they are signed. Be fair enough to state that the same rule applies to his petitions. But I will not un dertake to discuss the genuiness of the siguatures to any petition. I will simDlv say that, it is well known here that thousands of citi zens in North Carolina are to-day unable to write their names (though it is no fault of theirs,) and if these persons are to be denied the sacred ght Gf petition because of this fact then our constitution is a nullitv. l care not who signed their names to the petitions, since it was done by authority, they are genuine, and 1 am quite certain that, tnere is no evidence to show the contrary to the Senate. isui. Mr. resident, tnere are very many grave reasons why the county of New Hanover should not be divided. It is very true that the population is sufficiently large to entitle the new county to a rep resentative, but this consideration is of minor importance. Now, sir, within the past year, there has been more dissatisfaction, to my own knowledge, among the people who live in the proposed new county than I ever knew before. What was the cause? Why, sir, these people were groaning beneath the heavy burden of taxation that was then upon them. And mow what does the Senater from Sampson ask the Senate to do? To form anew county out of the territory, where mere was so uiucii cumpiaiiit uuuul high taxes, and compel the people to submit to an additional tax to build a court house, jail, and such other public buildings as are nec essary, without allowing the people the mere privilege of voting on the measure. It is proposed to compel these people to organize a new coun ty government, create offices for the accommodation of politicians or of fice seekers: and if, for no other reason, the Deoule are teo poor to assume any such obligations, and, in-their Dame, I protest against the pose of the" proprietor to make the Her passage of this bill. The Senator aid a real true men, (as he terms them) the property holders, desire this division of New Hanover county, but sir, I will say to that Senator that, if he had taken the pain3 to go among the people of that county to ascertain what their views are, as 1 nave done din ing the recess, ne would not make any such statement. I The honest fanner who owns the land, and the sturdy laborer who ploughs it, all unite m putioning this Senate not to pass tins hill, and these are the real true men of isorth Carolina. As to what the Senator from Sampson has said with reference to his surprise at my opposition to the bill, there has been no somersault, I can assure him. I have no deubt somepoi iorm mm man j. wonia iavor me bill. But if this is the fact, why did the friends of the bill undertake to pass it while I was absent from my seat and Irom the city? Mr. President, that the Senators infor mant knew to the contrary when he made the assertion, I am confi dent, and I shall not prolong this debate. I hone that the amend ment, offered by myself, allowing the voters who live on the territory out of which the new county is to be formed, to say at the polls what their wishes are in this matter.
