TO BE QUIETLY CONSIDERED.

Elsewhere there appears a clipping from the Newbern Journal, detailing an occurrence on the streets of that town. Upon the incident itself there is no need to comment. Every man can supply the comment for himself. The incident is not an isolated or unusual one.

It is only different in manner and degree, not in kind, from things that occur every day in every town in the State that is cursed with negro rule. Can any honest man doubt that such things are the direct result of negro rule? Has any man heard of or read of such incidents on the streets of Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro or Statesville?

The meaning of such things is too plain to need pointing out. The ultimate result of a condition that bears such fruit can not be mistaken. It is purely a question of time. The white man who cares any thing for his State, his family of himself has two months yet in which to make up his mind whether he will be a partner to two years more of such an unspeakable degradation.
