Wilmihotoh, November 10. The
great meeting at the Court House Wed'
nesday night resulted in decisive action
today, Resolutions were passed order
ing i be negro Manly to leave and take
with him his priming outfit. Twelve
hours were given for a reply.
The meeting was also Inclined to
oust the city administration. . This was
prevented by calmer counsel. It was
declared that the Legislature would soon
meet and make a clean sweep of the
City Hall from top to bottom. How
ever the following was added to the res
olutions.
"It Is the sense of this meeting that
Mayor S. P. Wright and Chief of Poiloe
Jno. R. Melton, having demonstrated
their utter Incapacity to give the city a
decent 'government and keep order
therein, tlielr continuance in office being
a constant menace to the peace and wel
fare of this community, they ought
forthwith to resucn."
When at the expiration of the twelve
hours, no word was received from the
negro leaders promising that the negro
Manlv would leave and take with him
his newspaper plant, armed citizens be-
gan assembling at the Wilmington Light
Infantry Armory on Market street.
lx hundred men. armed with Win
chester rifles took up the line ' of march

Believing that the Constitution of
the United States contemplated a gov
ernment to be carried on by an en
lightened people; believing ' that its
f ranters did not anticipate the enfran
chisement of an Ignorant population of
African origin, and believing that those
men of the State of North Carolina, who
joined In forming the Union, did not
contemplate for their decendants a sub
jectlon to an Inferior race, .
We, the undersigned citizens of the
city of Wilmington and county of New
Hanover, do hereby declare that we will
no longer be ruled, and will never again
be ruled by men of African origin. This
condition we have In part endured be- over iypt, and also stated that the 4T
cause we felt that the consequences of
the war of secession were such as to de
prive us of the fair consideration of
many of our countrymen. We believe
that, after more than thirty years, this is
no longer the c.se,
The stand we now pledge ourselves to
forced upon ns suddenly by a ctisis,
and our eyes are open to the fact that
we must act now or leave our decendants
to a fate too gloomy to be borne.
Wntle we recognize the authority of
the United States and will yield to t if
exerted, we would not for a moment be
lieve that it is the purpose of more than
60,000,000 of our own race to subject us
permanently to a fate to which no Anglo
Saxon has ever been forced to submit.
We, therefore, believing that we rep
resent unequivocally the the aentlment
of the white people of this county and
city, hereby for ourselves and as repre
seuting them proclaim: ' v
1. That the time has passed for the
intelligent citizens of this community,
owning 95 per cent, of the property and
paving taxes in like proportion, to bi
ruled by negroes. '!
That we will not tolerate the ac
tlon of unscrupulous white men In affili
atlng with the negroes, so that by means
of their votes they csn dominate
Intelligent and thrifty element ii the
community, thus causing business
stagnate and progress to be out of
question.
8. That the negro hss demonstrated.
by antagonizing our Interests In every
way, and especially by his ballot,
he Is Incapable of realizing that hie
terests are and should be Identical '
those of the community.
4. That the progressive element
any community is the white populal
and that the giving of nearly all of
employment lo negro laborers has been
against the best Interests of this county
and city and Is a sufficient reason why
the city of Wilmington, with Its natural
advantages, has not become a city of al
least fifty thousand inbabilania.
B. That we propose In future to give
to white men a large part of the employ
ment heretofore given lo negroes, be
cause we realize that white families can
not thrive here 'unless there are more
opportunities for employment for the
different members of said families.
8. That the white men expect to live
in this community peaceably; to have
aud provido absolute protection for their
families, who shall be safe from insnlt
or injury from all persons, whomsoever.
We are prepared to treat tbe negroes
lib justice and consideration In all
inalteraJwhScb do not Involve sacrifice of
the interests of the Intelligent and pro
gressive portion of the community, But
are equally prepared now and I mined I
ately to enforce what we know to be
our right
1, That we have been, In our desire
for harmony and peace, blinded both
to our best Ipterests and our rights,
