r tr WILMINGTON POST. WILMINGTON. N. C JANUARY 25 1868. The Raleigh Sentinel publishes in its pro pectus, among other sound planks of its plat' form, "A strict observance of the Constit.u- jtlorj of ftttc United States, and the harmoni ous union jofjsqual , round doctrine, andwe want that instrument revered hcri'as elsewhere. Here is one oi the provisions of .that . Constitution : "The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all . the privileges and immunities of citizens $n the several Statas " Now a citizen t of a Northern. State comes here, invests his means and lives here thV proper tfmeato make- bim a legal voter. : He is nominated and elected, to fill a certain i office and j ail the 'Conser vativeV papers In North Cirolina raise a howl alutad venturers," "aliens'" &c. The Northern men have invested over $200,000 in. cash in the vicinity of this cily during the past two' years. Arc they not entitled to re presentation ? Immigration ot men with means, is the only salvation for North Caro lina. Are they kindly received or encour aged ? -Ask ,any man who has honestly come here to; be a good citizen and live in this country, bringing his family and, his . wealth here and he will tell you that instead ff encouragement from those who should extend him the hand of fellowship, he hss been greeted by scowls and all Impediments possible, thrown in his way. i Until the year 1835 all free negroes voted iu this State, even voting for the constitution which so basely disfranchised them. Did North, Carolina suffer from "negro equality" during those fifty years ? If they voted then why cannot they vote now ? The "anti Radical" papers all claim to stand by the Constitution and to support the Union, Did they fight to sustain the, Constitution and the Union ? The colored men had no voice in the matter of the war here, but did they not fight when an opportunity 1 was offered, for the Union ? If men have suffi cient intelligence to know on which side of .the struggle they would risk their lives, docs it not follow that they know on which side to cast their votes ? We acknowledge that niany of them have Wen raised . and cared for, worse than brutes. We know that their moral faculties have been blunted and destroyed by ages of slavery, but should not these ."anti-Radicals'' aid us in elevating these people instead of trying to crush them ? All the arguments in favor of immigration are based upon the absolute necessity of an educated laborer. Let us then educate our .laborers. think them men and not try to class them with our brutes. The Raleigh Sentinel has a labored article headed "Down with Dictionaries1' to prove that the word "negro'1 is the. proper term to apply to certain delegates to the Conven tion. Hcf. quotes from Webster's Dictionary as follows : - ' . - "MgroaHaak man ; especially ow of a race of wacKW very aarK persons, wno viiaod the greater part of Africa, and are distinguisTied- by crisped or curly hair, flat nose, high cheek banes, and thick: protruding lips y' v ' That is all very nice. Will the Sentinel tell us how many delegates arc very dark persons with crisp or curly hair, and how many or mem are irom Sirica f u we mis take not, some pf those delegates are almost white, with straight hair and in whoso veins flows the "best blood of North Carolina."- Conservative Misstatements., It seems that the Roanoke News, pub lished at Weldon,; and patronized and sus tained by rebels, gives currency to a delib crate falsehood in regard to theaction of ,Mr. Renfrow, one of the delejMtes to the Constitutional Convention, Mr. Renfrow is charged of offering in the convention a reso , l ution recommending that each member re ceive as pay one hundred dollars per day ! Not only is this hot true of Mr. R., but is a fabricated falsehood. No Such resolution has been introduced ; by any member. At that time no resolutiou at all on the subject of per diem had been offerred. But the lie's has gone out for a purpose. The object is to vilify the cnyention, to furnish Copuer-heads at the North with arguments against the Congressional recon struction measures. Let the people under stand how false and rotten are these argu ments. ',; - -'. " ? V .' r ' . Courage -::-r'- :' ' . We witnessed the most remarkable in stance the other day of courage and nobility of character in a young lady of this city. ,8miling and artless she asked at one of our Fashionable Emporium for ladies boots. The dainty white handed clerk most ; gra ciously asked "No. 2 !" as though venturing on a very large presumption, wbdn clear and distinct the voice came as though not notic ing his remark I will take No; 6, if you please, my last were , but tlyy hurt me a little and"! will try sixes. Though a deep crimson dyed the face of the clerk, the bright pink of her sensible, intelligent coun tenance was unchanged, and purchasing the desired number with deliberation she passed put, little caring that the wind exposed the 5 that hurt a little, and rejpicing no doubt. inai sup nausccurea a size that promised comfort.- One of a thousand, we l said half aloud. We think we .lifted our hat as she passedif 'we tdid not, it was neglect f rom sneer amazement, and another time yes another time shall come we must know tnis ihov 6. How has f she so arisen above the vanities of her sex and yet so young ? Here is a heart worth possessing a soul fre$h from Heaven, We wonder which way she went ? What a sister she must be what cousin- wuat a waU a moment till we see which gate. - .!
