that negroes may go to the same Church-es
with white people, and, wheu the seats
are common to everybody, may sit among
the white people,—go to the same public
Hotels and sit at the table with the white
people,—ride in the same cars, sit in the
same jury box, and, in short, do and enjoy
whatever is of common right, with the
white man, and as the white man may.—
Let it be here remembered that there are
70,000 negro voters in this State, and that
it this Constitution succeeds, they can
and will KULE, by the aid of bad, degra-ded
white men, and that, in many counties
of the State, they have absolute control of
everything, as they are vastly in the ma-jority
! There, life will be intolerable to
the white men.
9. This Constitution destroys absolutely,
our present Judiciary system, which has
worked so well, and to the satUtaction ot
everybody and all parties, from the foun-dation
of our government. As it no»
stand-, it is settled, well understood by
our people and our Judges, and, under it,
the rights of all are secured. This system,
rest
has
intellect, property or anything else to re-commend
them. They can pack up what
they have and leave the State in twenty-four
hours. This is true, of four-fitths of
them, and two or three of them, who claim
personal respectability, are wholly unac-quainted
with the wants and wishes Of ne-cessity
of our people. Then, worse than
all, every one of these adventurers was
elected, not by while votes, but by negro
votes ; and this explains why the doctrine
of negro equality permeates and pervades
the whole Constitution. The plain, but de-generate
North Carolinians, who sat in
that Convention, calling . themselves Re-publicnus,
not one ol them? qver dreamed
of such a Constitution as is .presented to
the people of North Carolina. It is, in
irutn, of Yankee paternity, and the stock
scrub of the worst type. *
North Carolinians! Consider these
truths, and the consequences to grow out
of the adoption of this Constitution, and

What is lie tor ? The State has done with-out
this officer from its foundation. It,
too, is for a politicalfavorite.
This new system provides that each
Judge shall reside in and ride his own cir-cuit—
thus causing that he shall become
familiarized with every case on the circuit
and exposing him to temptations of brib-ery
and corruption.
It abolishes thi County Courts,—the
PEOPLE'S COURTS,—that have operated so
well for the convenience of the people;
and turns most of the business of that
court over to the Clerk of the Superior
Court.
Such a system of offices and confusion
never was set up before. All the lawyers
in Christendom cannot understand it; the
makers of it themselves can't tell all it
means and how ii is to operate ; it is " con
fusion worse confounded."

FIFTEEN SOLID OBJECTIONS
TO THE PROPOSED CONSTI-TUTION!
LEI Tin: PEOPLE i-OXHKI: THI:.M VTKI.I. !
1. The life-principle of this Constitution
is absolute equality >i right, in all things,
of all races ami colors.
2. It provides for and establishes, not
only civil, but also political and social,
equality of the white and negro races.
a. It makes the negro eligible to hol.l
any office, high or low.
4. It provides for a system of public
Common Schools and for a State Universi-ty,
to which all children, between the ages
of six and twenty-or.e years, without dis-tinction
of race or c ilor, may yo, and pro-vides
that the Legislature may compel
those between the ages ofsix and eighteen
years to go, and the Legislature will have
no power t.. provide, as a matter of right,
for white and black'Schools ; the Legisla-ture
cannot create '«.■ uphold distinctions
ol ibis sort, uudei tais Constitution,
New England are called " Townships,"
' and that five Commissioners shall he elec-ted
in each county, every two years, and
the first five elected shall divide the coun-ty
up into "Townships," of suitable size,
and each Township shall be some son of
a municipality, With a host of officrs,
all subject to the supervision of the five
Commissioners. This introduces a new
systi m, which is only adapted to thickly
p pu'ated States, like Rhode Island and
.Massachusetts. It requires a complexity
ol machinery and officers, and an amount
of expense, wholly unadapted to the wants,
tastes and education of our people.
13 It creates and provides for an indefi-nite
number of new, expensive and unnec-essary
offi es. These are a few of them :
Two more Supreme Court Judges; four
more Superior Court Judges; a Lieuten-ant
Governor ; an Attorney General; four
more Slate Solicitors ; five County Com-missioners
for each county ; a Superinten-dant
of Public Works, anil a number, be-sides,
for the several counties. These will
cost, annually, an immense sum, besides
increasing the complexity of our Govern-ment
system.
74. This Constitution requires the Leg-islature
to raise, by taxation, next year,
a sum of money, which it is practically
impossible for the people, in their present
impoverished condition, to pa\. The sum
of money to pay the interest on the public
debt, and for other purposes, which this
Constitution requires to be collected from
the people of the State at large, next year,
is one million eight hundred and thirty-six
thousand dollars, and this does not include
county and city taxes, nor does this include
any of the taxes that must b" paid to the
Federal Government. If this Constitution
is adopted, the taxes that the people of
this State must pay, for State, county, city
and United States purposes, will he every
dollar of three millions. It will be more,
indeed, than this sun,. The estimates for
the State taxes are taken from und ■niabh-data,
at the offiee of the State Treasurer.
Can the people pay this sum, now . Don't
any sensible man know they cannot, with-out
the ruin of four fifths of those who
have to pay taxes . This is a matter of
the greatest pecuniary concern.
15. This Constitution is not a North
Carolina production. It is not the handi-work
of North Carolinians. It is the off-spring
of the vanity, malignity and un-bluihiDgpresumption
of a few Northern
shall have to give him up, also, as a "lest
man." lie will soon learn, that at negre-swallowing,
he is playing minnow !i> the
whale. He follows the X. P. G.,trotting
along with ridiculously unequal st- ps.—
