The recent srtlcls la tbe Aabvill

amtndmet t to the State Conslllutlou.baa
provoked lie Wathlogten Poat of lot
jflili ult.tobolu aeeoad Mr. Pearson's
article anil add a postscript of Its owe
against the snieadmest.
After reviewing tereral of Mr. Pesr
son's oppositions to tha amendment, tba
ivi has tbe following oa tha propoaed
machinery of elections ia North Caro.
lina:
Ami it i only too evident- that tba
operation of such a law will be detrac
tive of political liberty in North Caro
Una. We recognlie In tbli a fatal blow
is free governmentjand popular Jnttitu
tioui. It propose the ruiblesa and per
petual domination of the party In power
ami the effectual extinction of public
tenllioafcj, throughout the State. W do
not ihare Ur. Pearson' aulicllude for
the "poor wl iie Illiterate,-' whether of
hi or any other district in tha Slate. If,
after centuries of freedom and oppor
tunity , they are (till in a condition to be
disqualified by an educational tet,North
Carolina will be better off wlthont their
participation in It government. But
Mr. Pearson U right, and ha ha all our
sympathy when he protest agaiait a
uffrige law which enable the party In
control at the moment to extinguish for
ever the voting aireoglh of the other.
That men,not popular governmental
the tyrannical and oppressive domination
of a class."
The Journal presumes that the Post'
objection is largely based upon Its posi
tion hitherto referred to in these col
umns, namely, , that the rule of the
ignorant negro 1 preferable to tbe rule
of tbe illiterate while, and that tha In
fluence of the former In governing, is
better than that of the latter, therefore
the new election law' destructlveness
In eliminating the Post's "conservative,"
bat ignorant negro, while It givea full
elective power to the Post's "Illiterate
white." .:"
With due respect for Mr. Pearson ant?
the Post, their opinion that thia election
law will "extinguish forever ithe Toting
strength of tbe other" (party), may do
for sentiment and political effect, bnt it
has no basis to warrant Its occurlng "for
ever." . .. - '-
A glance backward for a few years
will reveal bow tbe "machine rule" in
North -Carolina became so unbearable,
that white men voted against the Demo
cratic ticket, even with the negro flung
full and hard In their face, tbe result
being the doing away with one evil and
the taking up of another, with the negro
holding most of tbe local offices. -
The Post's conception of "pipular
government" with negroes holding the
majority of local office I not the North
Carolina idea, either of prominent white
Republicans, Democrat ar leading edu
cated and intelligent white citizens of
the State. ':.;;?. ' .'--7,
The extinguishing of "popular gov
ernment" In North Carolina baa been
done by the voter In Mr. Pearson's
party, and that his. own while Republi
can leaders in this State, Purnell, Settle
. and Cowlcs, favor ' the amendment,
make Mr. Pearson's cry a lonesome
one. . ... " -.
North Carolinian declared for White
; Supremacy last November, and the con
stitutional amendment to be voted npon
next August is bat the final and logical
conclusion of last November declare-
tion. ' '
The amendment to be voted upon
meant the enfranchisement of the white
. citizen In North Carolina. "

am going to have the pleasure of show
