THE FUSIONISTS' CONVENTION Boss Sattei field Had Everything Carefully Planned. COONS ARB DISFRANCHISED. The Bosses Had Their Program for the' Performance so Arranged that it Linked to the Letter The Pops Kept Mum. The Kepublican-Populist Fusion crowd met here Saturday and named their candidates for the Legislature and the various county officers. About three hundred negroes, who were disfranchised by their own set, as far as having a voice in the con vention were concerned, and nearly as many whites, were present. As the boss, Samuel Paul Satterfield, and possibly a few other revenue officers, had met and completed the ticket, and had rehearsed it enough to know it by the time the main per formance commenced, many of the delegates sent up from the primary were not needed. , At 1:35 o'clock the performance began, with Chairman Fogleman 19 the chair and Boss Satterfield acted Democratic party. Spencer Blackburn and 061. 0. S. Wi n stead who were to have been present and made speeches, did not show up. - As will be seen among the nomina tions two Populists are recognized Sims and Neal.

Morton, who five years ago" was a clerk for Hughes, Coles & Co., in this city, and is well connected in this State, was indicted by a grand jury about that date for grand lar ceny. His crime, it was charged, consisted in buying tobacco on th3 market for the firm employing him and selling the same on his ow n account , and pocketing the money. Morton fled to South Carolina. Be fore going he was taxed by his em ployers with his perfidy, confessed, and made voluntary restitution of a part in notes, not all of which were collectable.

Such men do not think,1 do not ' in vestigate questions, have no freedom of thought or, action, and fail to rise to any proper conception of the ob ject of voting.' V - n When the negroe3 are delivered from this spell fastened upon them, of thinking that their salvation is in thus voting, devote themselves more the business of providing an honest living, then their condition, will be ennobled. The Democrat party has made much outlay of money for theis ed ucation and betterment in schools and asyl ums. It is' right to provide education for them, and to protect them, and elevate their standing by encouraging them in doing the thing that will improve their citizen ship. , , 1 My impression is that the ballot box should be purged of all C07rupt methods-that only men who under stand what our country needs, and who have the freedom and, courage to vote with diecretion, should be entrusted with that franchise Ne groes that are thus qualified should vote. When they emerge from the shackles of party bondage, and exer cise a choicef dictated : by . wiat i is right, and nor by what they owe the Kepublican party, then ,they should be allowed to vote.. Wlute men are the'natural inheri tors of the powers, privileges and the rights of government, and should control the 'affairs of this country for the benfit of all classes , of its citizens, regardless of race or color; and when this is done it. will' be; for the peace and prosperity of both the white and colored races - 1 The point made is, that no race of men,: regardless of color or politics, whether thev "be white . men and Democrats, or black men and Eepub-licans-, is fit to be entrusted with the voting franchise; if such race is so muzzled and controlled ttHat they vote only for their masters, regard less of principles advocated or cor ruptions practiced. White men will diviste on parties North, South, East and West,tbui the negroes never do. If the negroes- could be freed f rofc- this party dictation '; and would; prove themselves capable of .consider ing questions of otste polity on their merits), and wld vote regardless f race prejudice on the merits of ques tiousr and &set willing for - other negroes have freedom of ; choice, to vote- with white men if they -wishy and, not be condemned by their own race-for so doingj then I should like to see them vote.. - The privilege and : importance of wise votiag is of far greater - worth niany people thinks jvIt is patriotism loye of liberty and justice, more than ability to read and write,' that quali fies any man to vote.

Two manner of people dwell in our country--the white and the cpl orld, 01 black two distinct races, both raoes citizens. How these two races shall dwell together amicably is; an important question. That they should dwell together in peace and good will is necessary to the greatest good of each class, and all right minded men of both classes desire this. Each, one owes to itself .and to the other, duties; among them is one for each to do right himself and treat the other right. We have some nice people among the colored face. Our postmaster at Wilson is a colored man, and so r are all his clerks They are polite, ac commodating and capable,' and I think their: official acts are clean. This I am glad to state. Let honor be given where it is due. . The present question before the State, on which it is to pass in Augustrliivolves the settlement of the wisdom of the colored race equally ruling with the whites in matters of State, or whether if the negroes nave the majority of votes in North Carolina, they should assume the entire control of the" enactment and execution of all the laws in this State or whether it should be white or black supremacy in North Caro lina. V ' - For the following, among other reasons, I am inclined, in good will all classes and for the good of both races, to state my yiew of this mat ter: " ' t First. The history of mankind in all ages has demonstrated the super iority of the white race; but this superiority should be exercised, not for the oppression, but for the pro tection and wise direction of the coU orerace. - H Second. The genius of our gov ernment is such that th voters are the rulers of the country. The best and wisest element should rule. Voting; therefore is an important matter. We cannpi expect to have good laws, nor good officers of the law, unless the voters are free from party' bias or race prejudice, and are lovers of right and justice, and well enough informed t choose men well qualified to enact good laws, and also to execute Jthm faithfully, e . ; :To lift politics oat. of the filth and mud of party spleen and bitterness? and make it respectable by electing I only honest, capable men to oce ii an eyent mucn to oe aesirea. . The right to vote should be hell only by such as exercise a judgement directed by intelligence, and a manly honest purpose of choosing oialy cap able men for officei Ko clasaof men not free themselves should be allow ed to vote. ; No set or ..race of men thftref ore, under the fetters of another class cf men, and always voting at dictatioiii should be entrusted vwith the ballot The negroes '; recognize the Republican party as their . der Uverer f rpm slaveryahd always yote as the Kepublican party dictates.
