Has our brother found this out so

A convention of the colored men of
Noi tb Carolina met [at Goldsboro on
the 30tli ult. It was composed of 300
delegates from the heavy negro coun
ties of the State. The resolutions
adopted do not favor the abandonment
of the Republican party, but express
a willingness to unite with the liberal
men who have heretofore acted with
the Democrats, and who aie willing
to make an earnest effort to build np
the State, and to guarantee to all equal
rights and privileges.
Democratic victories continue. (Cleve
land, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio,
have rolled up Democratic majorities,
and Indianapolis, Indiana, has follow
ed suit. These e’ections, coupled
with their predecessors in Pennsylva
nia, some weeks ago, undoubtedly in
dicate the drift of popular sentiment.
Aided by the veto of Chinese bill; the
rottenness of Cornell and pack in New
York; the liberal press in Pennsylva
nia; the Pond liquor bill in Ohio, and
the general Republican demoralization,
all the Democrats need to do to keep
the tide flowing is not to do anything
specially foolish. The Republicans
are making campaign material for
them taster than they could make it
for themselves.
A little girl eleven years of age, at
school, was directed by her teacher to
write a composition on the subject,
“Strong Lovo Rewaided ” And the
following is tlie composition:
“There was a handsome young lieu
tenant, and a young, beautiful girl, and
they love I each other; hut their parents
wouldn’t allow them to get married.
But one day the lieutenant won a large
amount of money in a lottery, and
and then there was nothing to hinder.
They got married and were very happy,
but they didn’t get any children. So
a varbroke out and he was commanded
to go and fight for his country. While
fighting he was taken prisoner, and
was in prison several years. Then he
came home, and who can tell his joy
when his wife showed him seven little
children she had got while he was
away! In this way did stiong love
get rewaided.”
MEDITATE! THINK!
For this first great measure of re
lief the people are indebted to a
Democratic congress.
Jn November, 1876, the Democratic
house again
REPEALED TUB RESUMPTION ACT,
the vote standing:
Democrats, aye, 104; nay, 29.
Republicans, aye, 28; nay, 92.
The Democrats voted over 3 to 1 for
this repeal, and the Republicans over
3to 1 against it. The Republican
senate killed the bill again.
Now comes the second great meas
ure of a Democratic congress.
SAVING THE GREENBACKS.
The bill to stop the further destruction
of greenbacks, which the Republican
legislation was calling in and burning
by millions every month. The vote
was
House—Democrats, aye, 104; nav 7.
House—Republicans, aye, 73; nay,
28.
Senate—Democrats, aye, 24; nay, 8.
Senate Republicans, aye, 17;
nay 10.
And for this great measure of relief
the country is indebted to a Democratic
congress and the Democratic party.
The Democrats voted for it 128 to 15;
the Republicans voted against it 90 to
38. Up to that time there was
NO GREENBACKER IN CONGRESS.
These two great measures of relief,
without which the country would still
be flourishing in the quagmire of
bankruptcy and financial ruin, and to
which the grecnbackers themselves at
tribute the return of prosperity to the
countiy, will give the people by Demo
cratic votes and by a Democratic con
gress,
COIN BONDS PAYABLE IN SIT.VER.
The attempt to demonetize silver
originated with the Shylocks A
Democratic congress solemnly declared
that the coin bonds of the government
were justly and legally payable in
silver dollats. The vote stood as
follows: •
House—Dem., aye, 115; nay, 23,
House—Rep , aye, 74; nay, 56
Senate—Democrats, aye, 24; nay 7.
Senate—Republicans, aye, 19; nay
15.
The Democrats voted for this right
eous measure 139 to 30, or 9to 2. The
Republicans voted 93 to GO, or less
than 3 to 2. So the Democratic
strength compared with the Republi
cans and with their respective numbers,
was more than 3 to 1.
There was as yet no Greenbacker
in either house of congress.
So it is seen that the Democrats in
congress gave the country the relief
from the financial depression brought
about by the Republican financial
policy.
The party is entitled to a fall credit
for this great work.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS.
We have shown the attitude and
record of the Democratic party, as
shown by the votes of its representa
tives in congress, in regard to the
money power, from 1802 to 1878. It
shows that the party was in favor of
leaving the bonds taxable by the
States, that it opposed the National
bank system, that it favored the re
tiring of the bank notes and issuing
greenbacks in their place, that it re
monetiUkl silver, and that it stopped
•th%.destruction of greenoacks which
was going on in accordance with Re
publican legislation and the Republi
can policy.
Now we propose to show by the
platforms of the party, that it was
practically and safely committed by
them to the same policy. We first
quote the financial planks of the Demo
cratic National platform of 1869 and
then the financial planks of a number
of State platforms, which might be
indefinitely extended.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM ISGB.
3J. Payment of tbe public debt as
rapidly as practicable; all moneys
drawn from the people by taxation,
except so much as is requisite for the
necessities of the government, econom
ically administered, being honestly
applied to such payment, and where
the obligations of the government do
uot expressly state upon their face, or
the law under which they were issued
does not provide that they shall be
paid in c >in, they ought, in right and
justice, to be p-iid in fue lawlul money
of the United States.
4th. Equal taxation of every species
of property according to its value, in
cluding governmental and other public
sveuiities.

Jesse James’ Murderers.
St. Louts, Apiil 17.—A report gained
circulation here that the Ford brothers
who killed Jesse James, were hung at
St. Joseph this morning. Inquiry
proved this to be false, but elicited the
fact that the grand jury found an in
dictment against them for murder in
the first degree. This noon, about an
hour later, the boys were biought into
court, pleaded guilty, and were sen
tenced to be hanged on the 19th ol
May.
Later dispatches state that Gover
nor Crittendon issued his pardon for
the Fords on the same day, but that
it did not reach St. Joseph.
The Sheriff of Ray county has
served warrants on them for complicity
in the murder of Wood Ilite, one of
the James gang. The Fords are dis
concerted at the new turn of affairs.
Wanted.
