Let us liavo a harmonious meetins so that when we ytart iiome, Bossism will have taken it' ilh'ht from No.-. a Carolina." Jeter I'ritchard's Harangue. J. C. Pritchard, Deputy lv3 venue col leoKr. Wets called on: lie declared tht nothing in God's world af r;s him so much pleasure as to address a Repnb.ieaa Convention. Your preeuco gives the lie to the Democratic statement that there is no Republican party iu North Carolina. The Republican pa ty was never livelier than nuvv. The jJexoratie party do.s iv!t consider that wo are dead. Tho last Legislature aid thiugs to show that they believe tho Republican parly is very lively. Ho re ferred to what ho called the bitter con test in '83, and said that the tide ci Re iniblieaiiism bewail to grow in tho Vvrcat, "When he came into the convention iu the morning he was wearing his hand in a sling; but when he got up to speak, ho assayed to cet up an arraigument against the Democratic party, ana m permanent organization through u com mittee report.

Ho made a number of harrowing, buga boo statements about tho election law. He dressed that measure ia the most im possibla srarb and totally misrepresented it. He said the sun of God had never set upon a fair election in North Caro lina since the inauguration of the pres ent svstem rf county government. He said the National Congress 'had heard "our crv ' dis-ress, and were trying to come to our relief by the Fed eral election law. Yes, aud when that law was introduced, a great hue aud cry was raised and it was called the "Force bill.". Now they say, if that law passes, there will bo fighting and bloodshed ! If so, bring out your army and we'll ivilet YOU HALF WAY. I AM TOOTH AND TOE nail in favor of that law, and I want a President elected who will see that law enforced. Yes; I am in favor of a president who will put a HAN OF WAn in every pokt from Maine to Floiuda to see that the law is enforced: and I am further ia fa vor of a president who will put a man with a bayonet at every ballot box, to sec the provisions of that law enforced. Lusk took his seat, and this mongrel convention actually moved to thank him for the infamous address he had made. Chas. Price Speaks. Hon. Chas. Price, of Salisbury, who has recently been paid for his treachery b" an appointment a3 District Attorney of Western North Carolina, was called when he put the question, tho taction who wanted to elect by the vote of the house carried the question by a largo majority.

What's this for ? Oh! the people have spc.Ken, ana uie bosses are tiemuling. They are trying to cany favor, now. They have seen that we we, the negroes, 115,000 strong, cannot .be longer used as a cat's paw. And now they want to elect a negro chairman for this convention, and say to the world : '"See what tho white Repub licans are doing for the colored race;' and wu:.n the time for lucrative office; comes around, they can say, 'Took what vou have had." I believe that Mr. Har ris was one of those who went to ingto-i and adrned the administration not t. -nnoint anv colored man to office in this State.
