The strongest point which thepio moters of the Constitutional Amend n.nt h.v l.ni making is the claim that the amendment if ratified wil not disfranchise a single white man but that it will disfranchise the ne groes. As tbitf is the impression thev are anxious to become fixed in the public mind, they should lose no time in calling in Borne 01 mei writerB and Bpoakers who try to up hold the fairness of the amendment by declaring that there in nothing discriminative about it as far as color is concerned. Mr. K. W. Pou, for instant-, in a speech recently delivered at a "Constitutional amendment gathering" is reported in the press to havo said. It dues not discriminate against "race, color, or previous condition of servitude" It does discriminate against incompetency, uctuness and inexperience iu public affairs. Many of the Northern States have discri minated acnitist tt.ee very things. Such laws Lhve been held consti tutional thei. why not here? Then according to Mr. Pou the DemocraVr who framed and are urgiug tue amendment Uo not object to the color c t the voter, they simply fhit to 'incompetency unfitness . and inexperience in public affairs. And when wo consider that after 1008 the amend nit ut tests apply to white as well as black it would be interesting juat at this time to know by what standard Mr. Pou and the other Democratic politicians would judge competency iitntss and ex perience. If as Mr. Pou says they do not object to color, we do not think we misjudge them when we says that in thvir opinion the town darkey who has a little education and would vote the Democratic ticket would be considered less inexperi enced and more competent to cast a ballot than tue white man who pre ferred to vote some other ticket.

In your last issue, 1 ws tempted to make into the domain of current politics, I resume and not without doe apology the dis cussion of Negro Colonization at the point where I had left it. And if the gentle reader has given me his attention, be must have learned that Franklin believed that the General Government had power to colonize these .Negroes that Jen erson contended that it ought to bo done that Clay insisted that it must be done that Lincoln, with the tender of compensated emanci pat ion, begged that it might be done and that Grant showed how cheaply," and how easily, it could be done. They, one and all, lamen ted the importation of the Negro into this continent, and, still more, the increasing danger of his con tinuance here. Such were their views under every possible aspect of the subject. And now, fortified with their ooinions. 1 reel that mav safely venture to particularize, and will attempt to show, in this paper, how the presence of the Ne gro has affected our Political Con dition. And upon this point the the testimony, from every side, is abundant and concurrent. For the Democratic party, on the one side, has proclaimed from the beginning, and still proclaims, that tht. introduction of the ignorant negro voter we are left to infer, that the educated negro voter, such as White, and Young, and Dancy and Manly, is some thing different altogether, and a thing to be de siredhas utterly corrupted the body politic, in all of its joints, and in all of its member!?. That it has brought about the disintegration, to some extent, of both of the old political parties, and more particu larly of one 01 them, whn-h 01 its elf was the greatest calamity, that could have befallen this universe. That it has begotten the thing called Fusion and in one instance tion.

Cancer can not be cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circuliiting throughout the system, and although the sore or ulcer known as the Cancer may be cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S.

Much to their delight b. b. b. proTed equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer.

Hero is an extract from a speech of one of these advocates of govern ment ownership which we think our readers will find interesting as show ing that not only in the United States but elsewhere is this great principle coming to the front. Mr. W. F. McLean, (member East York) replying to a speech of the Premier opposing Government control and advocating the subsidy, said in part. I stand here as one who has al ways and will believe in the Govern ment ownership of railways. The leader of the Government will find that he has made a sad mistake in declaring, as he did this afternoon, that he did not believe in Govern ment ownership or Government con trol of railways. The coming ques tion of this country concerns rail ways and transportation. fie opposed the Government own ership of railways, and said that the people would not justify further tx perience on that account. I am wil ling to stake my reputation and any chance I have in the future on this line. I believe in the nationaliza tion of railways and of all great pub lic franchises; and in connection with tbe city government, I cehVvt in municipalization of civie fran chises. That is the coming princi pie in governments that are going to win, I think in the present, and certainly in the immediate future. People are tired of what has taken place in the past. The railways have become tho masters, instead of the people being tbe masters of their own country. All over the world this progressive policy is attracting young men. I am in favor also of nationalization immediately of the telegraph system ot this country: of the issue of notes which the banks nor enjoy, and a great many other things. Only the other day Lard Salisbury made an important deliverance in the Old Country. He said that the policy that would rule the higher po litics of the wotld concerned all the railways and the government that did not control the railways had hardly any future. And only the other day, the president of a great meiai organization in JSnglan, speak ing of the competition which the merchants and manufacturers of Great Butain are now forced to en counter throughout the world, said there was no relief for England ex cept the nationalization of railways, and the reduction of the enormous freight rates.

Ex. has spared no member of it, from Governor Russell down to J. M. Al- en, but has accused them, one and all, of incompetency, imbecility, indirection, and dishonesty, ana o evey other iniquity that is set down in the Catalogue of Crimes. Auc what is more it has tried, and is still trying, to prove its accusa tions. For the Smelling Commit tees of its Legislature have dug, and are still digging, into all the Deparments, with a zeai and indus try which, I could wish, might havo been rewarded with greater success. For, so far as I am informed, they have not succeeded, up to the pres ent time, in unearthing any thing which had even the appearance of peculation, unless it should be a few paltry pilferings in the shape of "$4.00 per dime, and expenses, for inspecting Carpets often laid." The intelligent reader must per ceive, that it would not help me, in the least, to deny or to extenu ate any of these accusations, and that I ought to understand the sub ject that I am discussing far too well in all of its bearings, to do a thing like that. For it would only strengthen the argument I am ma king, if it could be made to appear that the accusations were all true. If, therefore, for the sake of my ar gument, I should admit that they are true, still, even then, only one-half of the whole truth would have been told, For it re mains to enquire. What effect has contact, with the omnipresent'Negro, had upon the Democratic party itself ? I hope that I shall be able to ap proach this inquiry in a spirit of becoming deference and timidity. For I must not forget, that the Democratic party of North Caroli na claims to represnt the Suprem acy, of all that is brightest and best, in political life, and that "whatsoever things are true, and whatsoever things are honest, and whatsoever things are just, and whatsoever things are pure, and whatsoever things are lovely, and whatsoever things are of good re port;" fPhil. 4:8,) belong to it by right of prescription, and that it is only engaged, at present, in the laudable attempt to make them permanent. It, therefore, becomes a question, of the most curious im port, to consider again and again. What has been the effect, of the presence of the irrepressible Negro, upon such a party as this T Let us see : In 1875 this party called a Constitutional Convention, and having secured control of it and just how that was done it is too late, now to enquire it conferred absolute Manhood-Suffrage upon the Negro, and confirmed it with an oath, thereby making it, not merely a statutory privilege, but a constitutional right; and yet no sooner had it done this, than it pro ceeded, without loss of time, to hinder its exercise, in every peace able way, until in the last campaign it challenged the right itself at the muzzle of the Winchester that is to say, many Democrats did this, while the party itself connived, ac quiesced, and condoned. Again : This party, in like man ner and form, assured to the. Ne groes "the right to assemble togeth er to consult for their common good, to instruct their Representa tives, and to apply to the Legisla ture for the redress of grievances," (Art. 1; Sec. 25), and yet, during the last session, when -petitions were pouring in, for and against, the es tablishment of Ben Tillman's Dis pensaries at Charlotte, Greensboro, Fayetteville, and many other pla ces, no member of that body dared to offer one, that had the name of a single Negro upon it, just as ' if he was not as fond of bad liquor as any one of them 1 . . i And again : This same party, by its own constitutional guarantee, wnich should have been as inviol- uentlv a fear on the part ot our Raleigh and Charlotte contemporar ies that it would be a dead failart and the Wilmineton Mesiier doubtless expected it would break up in a riot. Bnt we don t do things that way out here. The constitu tional right of free speech is recog nized in Western North Carolina, even on unpopular s a ejects, ana whether a man talks sense or non sense on the hustings, he earn get an audience at a bavbecue. After the speaking ho is not waned on by a committee of business men and Winchesters to f peed his departing Oar intelligence trom Uld t ort is that Locke Craig's oratory and tbe base ball game wore the drawing cards, and the constitutional nd aient was regarded as an offset to the square meal, something akin to bad air m a theater. T&f coastitu tional amendment is regarded by very many of our people as a sequel j to the Wilffiirgfoa note; a "wtm supremacy" act arraytd iu a red shirr, intended to kill off a certain number of negroes in the eat, but loaded also and this makes it of interest oat here to destroy an equal number of white voters ia the wtst. There is a curiosity here to soe the advocates of this last feature of the measure, but there is no d--sire to do them violence. Tha ballot is m ghtier th?.n the shotgun in cases wf this kind. LB 'i, a W wWJ i about tbe xurbitant cost of trans porting meats, groceries, hardware and dry go ds. Toe reason for our silt-nco is apparent. 1 Tbe merchant adds freight charges, no matter h-w high, to the cost of bis good-". The customer pays tbe freight when he make a purchase It is a matter of indifference to the merchants, and hence the question of equifable freight rates is one that they do not deem worthy of serious consideration. The customer pays tho bill. It is is because of their exemption from freight charges that merchants dtcline to form oreanizations look ing to reforms in freight rates. It is simply because tbey bear no part of the burden that the attempt to form a merchant association a fe m nths ag) was such a dismal fail ure, why should they endeavor to secure low freight rates when some one else pays the bill? The atr'st of their eufomers shoald ue sufhcient incentive to prouipt rn. rcbHi.ts to strive to s cure m.ir' reasonable frtight rates on merchandise. They should act on tie priaciplo that that tbe prosper ity ot their own thrift, and at tha money the merchants save the ens totals through low freights will fiud its way back to their till for goods that decroised cost bring within reach of their patrons.
