DAILY j NEWBERNIAN. Setii M. Cahpexteb, Editor. ! NEW BERNE, X. C JUNE 10, 1871. lor Superintendent of Public Instruction : COL: STEPHEN D. POOL. 6f Craven. TH E XEW YdllK HERALD ON SOUTH ERN temper, and manhood. Ve. freely ; ' aOinit . the extraordinary ; ability v ith wlricli the Nlev York Herald is conducted, as well as the; enlightened, : liberal jtone ' of its articles, .when dealing with questions of nation al signification- and importance. Considered from a purely literary standpoint, its editorials are hardly equal to those of the New York Sun. But as a metropolitan newspaper, editorials, original communications, news items and gene ral management included,: it is incomparably superior to any journal on the continent. Since the days of Richie, Pleasants and Daniel, there have been no such nervous, original and forci ble writers, Dana and Marble only excepted, as the powerful thinkers and experienced writers whom the liberal enterprise of young Bennett has employed upon the editorial columns of his paper. But having said all this, we are compelled, in the interest of 'our section, to take issue with the Herald upon the logical and philo sophical correctness of many of the views, which it always gracefully and respectfully offers to the acceptance of the Southern people. ! In the paper of the 5th of June, for instance, it gives us a very sensible talk on the spirit and temper with which we should receive the jRadical en croachments on our liberty and ciiril respecta bility, and plants itself boldly in' several posi tions which we consider altogether intenable. It almost blatantly declares, thr.t. the argu ment of amalgamation founded upon the Civil Bights Bill, is imrely visionary and sentimen tal, and belongs to the same classification as the old electioneering phantasy, that the sisters of It will be remembered, that this conclusion ,of the amalgamation of the races, and the conse quent deterioration of the high spirited Amer Merrimon, in his comprehensive and able dis i cussion of the Civil Rights measure before it passed the Senate. We agree with him in every step of the argument, and respectfully but totally differ from the intelligent leader of the i New York Herald. All history, and, we think, all common sense shows that amalgamation is a physical necessity of equal association ordained by law. The most powerful, brilliant and fin ished nations of antiquity, gave up their pride of birth, their aristocracy of descent, their ex- : quisite mental and social culture, to the domi- i nation of political insolence and tyranny. The traveler who treads the sacred dusi of the Pi raeus, where the Long Wall of Themistocles once stood, in Tain looks for the regal faces and polished brows of the countrymen of Cimon, Pericles and Phidias. A nation of bandits, tricksters and news mongers, with a far inferior physiological formation, has beeaj born to the race of sculptors, orators and heroes once nur- i-uxeu upon mac sou. will any one say that the Italians of to-day will sustain any comparison with the men who followed Ccesar ,to Pharsalia! and Antony to Actium? Deterioration and de cay, resulting from a mixture of pure and com mon blood, the high and heroic nature with the coarse and vulgar character, have been stamped in letters of living fire upon every physiologiJ cal page of the past. And from the days of Mi-! nos to Bienzi, and from Bienzi to Gladstone,! there never has been a legislator or a law-giver no coma prevent tins amalgamation. How- contemptible the countrymen of Cortina, Jua rez and Santa Anna appear by the side of the mailed comrades of Cortez,who pulled down the temples of Montezuma, and subjugated his peo pleby their courage; and yet the proudest blood of the bravest nobles of Ferdinand land Isabella flows in the veins of these treacherous Mexican' guerrillas. Think you that the cniioren 01 me old cavaliers and' Huguenots of the South are any prouder than were the Spaniards of Columbus and Pizzaro ? The fact is, we are accustomed to rely too niuch upon the spirit and independence of our Anglo Saxon parentage. This we humbly con- ceive, to be the false premise in the syllogism of the New York Herald. No one doubts, who thinks with any correctness j at all, that in the event of the social equality of the Civil Bights Bill being forced upon the South, all the intelli gence, family pride and ancestral independence of this land, would be organized to resist with fiery vehemence the physical consequences of such a ruinous deed. . The terrible struggles of the historic times of Coriolanus and Dentatus, when the patricians and the common people strove for the mastery, would be but , child's play compared with the thrilling contest we should make. Before we would see the stainless annals of this sun-lit land of Sumter and of Lee marred and blotted by the treachery, supersti tion and ignorance of a degraded, mongrel race, we would make every palace, school house and cabin a funeral pile for future ages to pity and deplore. But the resistless current of history would take its course none the less: The hard, unpitying law of necessity, would lay its hand upon us with a cold and crushing grasp. We should see the poverty of the land gradually yielding before the onward march of political insolence and power.. Numbers, backed by the impudence of official outrage, would, as in the late war, finally overcome genius, j courage and personal pride, until, at last, the graves of our great men, instead of being tne Meccas of patri otic fervor and devotion, and the fountains from which our young men kindle the fires of their intelligence and manhood, would grow deserted, and our social organization would become rot ten to the core, from the terrible virus of political disease. I ! l. ,Tb.aJN"ew .YorkHkrakZ lhinksjtkatwfLshould not De resuess ana discontented, : but , that we should be patient, long suffering and endur ing. We respectfully ask that excellent journal, if there ever was a more patient people upon the face of the earth. We have endured every in dignity from our mean spirited oppressors," which party malignity and sectional bitterness could invent .We have seen the cherished prin ciples of our fathers, swept away by this Denca lion flood of Radical self-righteousness and misrule. We have given up, to successive - Con gresses our political privileges and rights, until we are naked of almost everything but fanatical misgovernment and iniquity, And now, when the hideous capital is sought to be put upon this column of outrage, when the crowning: in famy of this terrible era. of political satrapy and corruption is thrust in our faces, we are counselled by our Northern friends, to keep quiet, to be meek spirited i and gentle. We do not intend to be quiet, and the advice is not manly which requires it of us. We have no more secession guns to shoot, and we have no insurrection to nurse against the ! general gov ernment. But to go around whining like whipt curs, with our hands ' meekly crossed on our bosoms like tattered, shoeless beggars, beseeching this Radical Congresa to pity and spare us, is what wehall not do. We had rather be dead. The New York not give us any such advice. If Pennsylvania and Massachusetts belong to the Radical party, the decrees of God Almighty do hot, and they will be fulfilled. No; masterly inactivity and craven submission are not the true policy of the men of the South. We ask nothing of the pity of the North, and would not have it if it were offered. We ask justice,:, tha$. comes from the treasury of Heaven in Heaven's own good time. Our true policy is organization, activity and work, the unceasing use of every intellectual and moral . faculty, which , God has given; us. Let. us bend our energ calmly and conserva tively, but earnestly and heroically to the task oefore us, and our deliverance draweth nigh. HOX. irj J. CLARKE j L jf ' "Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure aa snow, thou Shalt not escape calumny.' " Ii We published with ; great; pleasure, in our issue of Sunday last, the resolutions, of the Grand Jury of Carteret County in regard jjto Judge Clarke. We thought if they expressed : the true sentiment of the people, how ; blessed Wind delightful a thing it would be; for him to be able to carry with . him into retirement,, the consciousness of duty'elt' performjed, together with the knowledge of the fact that his services had been fully appreciated, and his official arts endorsed by so intelligent a body of men 'as those composing the Grand Jury jof . good bid Carteret. We felt that here1, at least, was tin alloyed sweet, that could have no counteracting fitter. But, alas, for the perversity of human nature ! A serpent has crept into this Eden, and is whispering what do you suppose, g en tle reader? Wlnv nothing more nor less tnan himself, Wict the Jiands of that ihe Judge wrote those resphdions thai the original manuscript, mow -in the Jury, icilt show it! Now, we iid not profess to be the advocate of Judge jClarke-y-far from: it, wfi ftrfl onnosed to him or any o occupying any official position whatever. . put we do profess to have a high regard for the position of Judge. We think of the .place- as having been once filled by a Ruffin, a Gaston, a Badger, a Manly, and a hot 9f other noble anil lAfimpr! mpti. and we bow out knee in humble adoration at the shrine of has been 'adorned by such inte an office (that lect, virtue, learning, dignity and probity as graced these amnd. cmhd men. Couseauentlv we are ; un- a ' . . if : " willing to believe, for an instant, that any sue cessor of theirs would ever think of, much less do, so unworthy and unbecoming a thing as that- with which the . present incumbent is charged. We have not consulted Clarke; we would think it with Jiidge an insult to him to entertain enough of doubt such a report, as to ask him for a about the falsity of icontradictioh if we did ask him, that the high office which he holds should be both shield andbuckler against such shafts of envy and malice, and we would have only our own folly to plead as an excuse for our temerity: A Judge do such a tiling ! A fool would have more sense! The stupid Ostrich, : that hides its head in the sand, i and ' ; - j - i - n thinks because it doesn't see others, that f they can't see him, would blush to be guilty of osuch stupidity, even if he were Judge of ' an Ostrich Court. No .! no ! the thing is too thin, it vron't wash ! Judge Clarke has seen too much of the world ever to perpetrate Isuch folly. He' has been too long a soldier; to be guilty of (Such ! .
