-Republican Meeting.
A mass meeting of the citizens of
Oberiin village, Wake county, was
held on the 30th March, 1874.
On motion, Norfleet Jeffries was
called to the Chair, and James D.
Morgan was elected Secretary.
Mr, James Rue explained the ob
ject of the meeting to be for the
purpose of considering the condi
tion of the Republican party, and
to take such action in the premises
as might seem best, after a full in
terchange of views.
The following committee was
appointed to . ..report resolutions
expressive of the sense of the meet
ing: Messrs. James Rue, C. Lock
hart and R. C. Pettiford, who re
tired and after consultation report
ed the following preamble and
resolution:
Whereas, The colored voters of
the Republican party have not re
ceived a proportionate share of the
patronage of the State and national
governments, in that competent
and worthy colored men have been
ignored for places of honor, trust
and profit, to which they were en
titled; therefore, be it
Resolved That we hereby con
demn such action on the part of
those who have controlled and dic
tated appointments ; and in the fu
ture we will not support men who
have made this unjust discrimina
tion, but will endeavor to find
leaders who, recognizing the merit
of our claims, and being fully ac
quainted with our grievances, will
aid -us n a determined effort to;
right the wrong of which we com
plain. The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The meeting was then addressed
by Messrs. James Rue, Norfleet
Jeffries, R. C. Pettiford and Mr.
Nunn.
The meeting then adjourned.

cannotjsoon be erased. Rapine and
murder became in a measure legal
ized,diiring the dismal period which
elapsed between the reconstruction
fiasco of President Johnson and the
reconstruction of Congress. The
condition of the negroes in the sev
eral districts where the soldiers of
the United States could not be near,
was inpnitely worse than when the
white nen had a property in them.
The ,talk of a white man's govern
ment ought not to mislead any one.
That the negro race, not more than
ten per cent, of the population, can
ever rule Jthe country, is absurdity
patentj to all. Their number is not
sufficiently large even to be a fac
tion. iBut be their numbers many
or few!, they are by an inalienable
right Entitled to freedom and pro
tection by the law; and the only
methpd ever devised by the wisdom
of map to secure these blessings is
the ballot. Wilmington Post.
In a Bad Way. Tho Demo
cratic f leaders are. certainly in a
sorry J condition. They affect a
high tone morality in political af
fairs, put utterly failed to convince
the public that they are really con
verted from the error of their ways.
They have preached honesty so
often and practiced it so little
that no fone has any confidence
in their! sincerity. The short
comings of a few Republicans have
been eagerly seized upon by these
disconsolate politicians, and they
haveltried their best to convince
the peopleUhat an exceptional piece
of rascality was the rule of the par
ty. But they have made slow pro
gress in the work. So many Demo
crats I have been mixed up in the
corrupt schemes that have been ex
posed through the vigilance of the
Republican party, that a blaw aim
ed at the head of an opponent is
sure to kill one of theirown friends.
It must be very perplexing for
them to have their eloquent ser
mons on the necessity of political
purity marred by the indiscreet ac
tion Of tlieir friends. If they could
only enforce honesty among Demo
cratsl for even a few months, they
could then point to their followers
as models of political excellence;
but jto enforce an impossibility is
beyo'nd their power, so they are
obliged to accept one of two alter
nativesthe repudiation of their
own;' rascals, or their defense for the
sake of the power which they wield

to justify or defend, is to disarm

they can wield against Republi

A White Man's Government.
This is a white man's government
and must be administered by white
men, is a dogma made familiar to
every American by frequent repe
tition during the past six years. Its
meaning is that the white race alone
is entitled to the privileges of gov
ernment, and that any other races
are interlopers, and have no rights
except such as are graciously ac
corded to them. The Asiatics, the
descendants of the Africans, and
the Indians who are within the lim
its of the United States must, ac
cording to this opinion, exist by
sufferance only having no rights
which the Caucassian recognizes.
A slight inquiry into the relations
which two at least, of the tabooed
races sustain to the whites in regard
to the presence here, may be useful
in forming a conclusion upon the
subject. The Indians can say that
theirs was the right here if priority
of occupation is a test. Occupancy
in law, under certain conditions
does give a title, and these condi
tions do not interpose between their
claim and the whites. But the negro
race cannot set up a priority of right
in the soil. Many years before their
feet trod this country the whites
had planted the germ of a mighty
empire, xiid tne otner race tnen
