THE FAIR.
The Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Industrial Associa
tiva met oh yesterday, President
Leary "presiding, and transacted much
business of importance relative to the
tfext Fair. Every member present
expressed a desire to make tlie next
'Fair a grand success. We would say
to the members of the press and all
others who have the progress of the J
race at heart, go earnestly to work in
building up the Fair. Come, and
bring something to place on exliibi
tien. Work, frieads, for the Fair,
for it is your Fair. Hake it a success.
TBS CITY MUDDLE.
This is a nifttter about which we
have written little or nothing. We
auust acknowledge that we have not
given our readers that infoi illation
justly due them, But we seek an
apology in that ; we did nob desire to
forestall justice or public sentiment.
To state the case briefly: Several of
the Aldermen elect of whom it is
ntd held positions of trust and profit
tnder the Federal Government con
trary to the Constitution of North
Carolina, were declared ineligible to
aid positions by a minority of the
Beard; and the vacancies created by
this action of the minority were im
toediately filled by said Board. This,
it it claimed by the plaintiffs, was
dune viinoat jadge or jury. If we
uderstond the situation aright, it is
not whether the plaintiffs Messrs.
Qtewart Ellison and ethers are eligi
ble to the positions of Aldermen, but
Whether they were Ugtdly deposed of
.auld positions after having been duly
awern and qualified. In short, did
the Board, whether in the ruiuority
or majority, have the right Jto take
te.oh steps without notice or due pro
eess of law? It Is a matter involv
ing a legal priucitile of right or
Wrong in which not only the citizens
Of Raleigh are interested, but of the
whole State as well. The case, as we
Stated in our last issue, has been re
ferred to the next term of Wake Su
perior Conrt, which will begin on the
fourth Monday in Juno. Having an
abiding faith in the adherence of our
eibizens to the law, we await the re
sult without criticism.
TBS NATIONAL COXVEXTIOX
OF COLORED MEX.
WllAt GOOD CAN OH WILL THE COS
TKNTION DO?
We had hoped, that this question,
which has of late took precedence of
all others among members of the col
ored presj, was finally disposed of.
Bat they eentinue to discuss it, aud
we feel at liberty to join in the
"Berry roundala."
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Smtinlt thinks that there is a ne
cessity for a convention, aud says that
it will stand by and favor this be
lief whether a convention be held or
aot We would not charge the $enm
iinst with having drawn such a cone
laslon without a basis; and as we
have not teen its reasons why a con
vention is a neeeisity, we confess our
surprise at the declaration.
When the eall was first issued, we
predicted thai it was a signal for
either a new departure in politics, or
to five some man a boom for the
jtresidtacy, and the latter was at once
verified. Since then we have had no
confidence in the call, aud but little
in tat honecty of purpose of its origi
nator. We might meet, it is true,
sad discuss hundreds of subjects and
p5S tn equal number of empty reso
lutions, but the resolutions would be
bent as weighty as the speeches
Nothing can be gained by the forma
tion of a Negro party, nor is it ad
visable to declare onr allegiance to
the Democratio or Republican par
ties; for, in either case, we would ap
pear ridiculous. The national con
stitution guarantees to us as a race
very right enjoyed by other citizens.
What we really need is, a less num
bor of conventions less expendi
ture of money, their necessary atten
dant; more woi k and the casting of
manly, indepemlent ballot nnfet
tered by the fear of consequences.
As for as, we can see no tangible
eauao for a convention, and ask our
contemporaries what gttd can or
willtionvmtiondo . y

"Hail, honor, bail,
Infernal world, and thou profoundest hell
Reeeive thy new possessor; he who bungs
A uiinu not to bo changed by place or time."
We perceive that there is a vast
amount of uneasiness among thepoli
ticians in North Carolina, of both
high and low degree, black and white,
Democratic and Republican. We
are sorry (?). VVcu'd that we could
minister to these minds dig eased
and pour the balm sf Gilead into
them, but alas ! wo cannot and would
not if we could. Our Democratic
friends commenced ciowiug and our
Republican friuuds commenced groan
ing just as soon as we began to de
monstrate that "we'' "had a miud
not be changed by place or time."
We are being reminded of the good
old days ''after thej war,'' when it
was' considered high treason for a
"nigger" to have au opinion of his
owu or to hanker after the political
tleshpols of that pe;iod. If our
memory serves us right, (aud we
reckou it de) the great Republican
party taught the NeVro that it was a
sin for him to hold an office higher
thau that of a messeuger or coach-
iuhii, and under the same men with
wlum he associated on committees at
some ward meeting or convention in
his district. Ou the committee the
Negro whs Mr. So-and-So, in the cus
tom house or postotlice he was plain
Tom, Dick or Harry, and sometimes
"Oumbo.'' When there was any "en.
thusiug" to bs done Mr. Negro had
the titl.i of "Esq.'' or "Hon." affixed
to the family name, aud the shrewd
carpet bagger would be careful always
to spoak in the most, respectful terms
of the Negro when in the pre.n nee ot
the black Republican iu tii- district.
He not nufrequently comiesceuileu to
lock arms with Mr. Negro, and occa
sionally give a five dollar bill to the
church of which Mr. Negro was a
member, accompanied by a philosoph
ical letter drawn up with great pre
meditation and malice(?) afore
thought, lie thinks Mr, Negro is
one of the best and most remarkable
representatives of the ex-slave class
he ever knew but he doesn't think
anything of the kind and never did.
He does think though that Mr. Negro
is one of the most submissive aud
tractable men he ever had the pleas
ure of using, and accordingly he uses
him helps him to think, helps him
to vote, helps him out of the way of
good fat positions, helps himself in
while Mr. Negio does the pushing
and "hurrahing," and gives him iu
return for the invalu ible services ren
dered a chance at the office furniture
and spittoons. Whether Mr. Negro
has qualifications for a clerkship or
not, "it isn't time yet ; the prejudice
against your race is too strong, aud
besides it would be against the policy
of the party which is endeavoring
to conciliate the Southern people,''
ami Mr. Negro "gits his offis," takes
off his hat, sneezes when Mr. White
Man takes snuff, jumps when he is
spoken to, and believes in his soul
that the Republican party aud the
S.ivior of the world are synonymous
terms. The practice is the same to
day in that party, and it is being ap
plied to Negroes all over the South
and North who haven't the courage
to kick in the traces or to strike the
bass Hi u tn of popular opinion with
the sledge hammer of individual sov
ereignty.' "He who would be free
himself must strike the blow."
Do you, hear us ?
THEK1XD OF FRIEXDis WBDOXT
WAXT.
We have written much of late re
garding those who pretend to be
friendly to the advancement of the
Negro. VVe had formed our conclu
sions from a casual observation of
uearly thiee years' canvass; but to be
accurate we took occasion while on a
recent canvass to make figures. Llete
is the result: We made 38 visits in
qaest of subscribers to our paper)
Twenty-six were to Republicans and
twelve to Democrats. Of the twenty
six Republicans fourteen were office
holders, aud of this latter class we
got two subscriptions. Total sub
scriptions from Republicans 12. Of
the twelve visits made to Democrats,
we received nine subscriptions.-
Striking contrast, this ! Were ours
an individual enterprise, we would
be loth to draw this picture; because
we really could not with propriety
expect any more of the office-holders
than of other citizens. But this pa
per being the organ of the Industrial
Association an enterprise iu which
eich and every one of our race istin
t rested, and upon which hangs the
destiny and future prosperity of the
whole race we have thought it as
little as these gentlemen could do to
encourage us by giving a subscrip
lion if nothing more.
These fellows, who are directly re
sponsible to the colored voters for
their meat aud broad. aud who have '
, . , ,. . ,, ,
beeu and are still feeding at the pub-
r
tie orib, and hanging on to the public ,
teat with a tenacity equalled only by '
the bull dog, of a more savage na
ture, many of them almost mired
in rapine, these men ar not our
real friends. If they be, good Lord
deliver us from the clutches of such
friends. They are gnawing the very
vitals of the Negro ; and our only
fear is, that the colored race will
not become cognizant of this fact
before it is too late. ,
We shall endeavor to pay our re
spects to our (minions) friends in
due time, for they aro the kind of
friends we don't want. Vie can
tiuthfully say, as did the Messenger,
that we get no 'public mouey of any
kind other than an occasional sub
scription. We have lived two and a
half years without asking it. Now,
we would not.
We would not be a slave.

his audieuse spell-bound for quite hi

doing the.Bishop au injustice e will
not attempt to comment upon ins an

greatly benefited, and would have
beeu glad bad a large numoer oi
white citizens been present to have
heard the Bishop. 1 think some o
them would havetchanged their mind
as to the Negro being incapable ol
leaniiug.f He proved to us that ho
was a great man, a great thinker aud
a profound scholar. After tlie lusuoj
hud concluded a recess was given
from 12 o'clock n. until 2 o'clock
p.m. At 2 o'clock, sharp, after a
beautiful, piece of music from the
baud, Jfrof. rrice 'came torward and
stated that the (hour having arrived
they would at once take up the pro
gramme of the day.
Miss Esther Carthey delivered the
Salutatory Address. We need not
say it was good ; for she st once gave
us to know that we were there to
have a graud literary treat. VVe have
neither time nor sjiace to speak ol
each one separately, but we will men
tifln the name of only a few of the
uiauy that reflected credit upon their
school aud themselves among them
we find Miss Eiiza J. llouser, of
Charlotte, N. C, U. J I. Bingham, ol
Salisbury, N. C, W. D. Clinton, of
Lancaster, S. C, W. L. Henderson,
of Salisbury, N. C, aud J. 11. Col
bert, the valedictorian, of Lancaster,
S. C. Ihe speeches and essays from
the students showed excellent train
ing, aud a great aud good work on the
part ot the teachers. After the pro-
grriume had been exhausted several
distinguished gentlemen were listened
to witu marked attention. We are
sorry to note that Bishop Lomix just
arrived a little too late to participate
iu the first grand commencement of
Zion Wesley Institute, owing to the
uiisoonnectiou of the Georgi.i trains.
We are impressed with the idea that
Zion Wesley is destined to do a great
work for the American INegro. J he
good people of Salisbury feel greatly
blessed by having such an institution
of learning in their midst. The good
people ot Salisbury feel greatly
blessed by having, such an institution
of learning in their midst. With such
an one as Rev. J. C. 1'rico, A. M ,
President, with his great ability as
an orator, a scholar and thinker, as
sisted by tho accomplished scholars,
Kev. C. R. Harris snd Prof. E.
Moore, and the pious and intelligent
matron, Mrs. M E. Hanis, Zion
Wesley cannot afford to stand still;
she must move on snd accomplish the
great, good work that is wailing for
her to do.
Respectfully, Ac,

An Address to the Members of the
Industrial Association-
Fayettsvillb, N. C, Oct. 24, '82.
It is said "It is the early bird
that catches tho worm" lu ordur
that we may be ready to catch as
large a worm as possible, in the
beautiful and attractive shae of suc
cess, it is important for us to begin
the work of arranging our plans, and
getting everything in good shape for
the next Annual Exhibition of the
" North Carolina Industrial Associa
tion." This Association is the only
institution aud enterprise (that I am
aware of I that is organized by, and
is under the entire control of the col
ored citizens of the State. It may
then very properly be called our in
stitution. 1 need not therefore say,
for it cannot be otherwise than ap
parent to you, thai the perpetuation
of our institution and the success of
our next annual exhibition will de
pern) l.irgely upon the individual, as
well as the united efforts ot its mem
bers, with proper and united efforts
we can and will succeed.
We have the material and resour
ces within ourselves to insure suc
cess. All that we have to do is to
so arrange our plans as' to bring these
forces into active and harmonious
operation.
The purpose of this communication
is mainly to call your attention to
these facts, aud to solicit your earn
est, active and hearty co-operation in
every legitimate effort that may be
put forth to build up our organiza
tion. 1 will do eveiy thing in my
power to obtain this most Jdc.-drable
end; but my efforts will be iu vain,
unless you aid me. Let me beg you
to put behind vou any dilf rences or
misumlei standings that may have
heretofore existed, and go to work
this year and next with renewed vigor
to win success. I expect to draw up
a syht.nii of rules to govern us in our
operations in the futuie. In order
that I may formulate such a system
of rules as will meet the approval
and command the support of all, I
will be greatly obliged if you will
favor me immediately with your
views and suggestions upon the mat
tor. Now, Colored North Carolinians,
