THE LEADER will be devoted to thc interest of Free haber and general reform. Thc Federal Government will be sustained at all hazards: aud we hope that its ultimate policy towards this State will ensure peace, prosperity, and domes tic tranquility. That self-evident truth, contained in the Declara iou of Independence, "That all men are created i quai/' will be steadfastly adhered to. lo matters of local concern, it will give its earnest support to all important public measures and practi cal improvements. White fearless in its advocacy of the Right, and j frank in its denunciation of the Wrong, its column* will never be made a channel of coarse personal abuse. It will deal with principles rather tl?an men, j and allow the free and candid discussion of all sub- j jects pertaining to the public good. In striving to make this emphatically a paper for j the people, we confidently look to them for the amount of subscription and advertising patronage, ivhieh its worth demands. T. HURLEY & CO. POETRY. For the Leader. HUMAN FRAILTY. Weak and irresolute is man, The purpose of to-day ; Woven with pains into his plan. To-morrow rends away. The bow well bent, and smart thc spring, Vice seems already shir, ; J?ut passion rudely snaps the string, And lt revives again. Some foe to his upright intent Finds out his weaker part ; Virtue engages his assent, But pleasure wins his heart Tis herc thc folly of the wise; Through all his art we view; And willie Iiis tongue the charge denies. .His conscience owns it true. Bound on a voyage of awful length, And dangers little know n, A stranger to superior strength, Man vainly trusts his own. But oars alone can ne'er prevail To reach the distant coast ; The breath of heaven must swell the sail Or ail the toil is lost. JAMES W. PXT?ERSOX. Charleston. Oct 16th, 1S6?

C.j sent the following letter tc the Fret men's ?onvention in that State. He take; manly stand. Concord, N. C., Sept. 27, 1865. Tithe Secretary of the Frcedmei?8 Convention, The delegate from Cabarras (the bearer) 1 presented me with a circular advocating X claims of the freedmen to equal rights befe the law. J concluded that the best way of a knowledging the receipt of the same and expressing my sympathy with the object of tl Convention would be to address you a stu letter, setting oxit in brief mf views t?pon t question, with my reasons therefor; There was only one State refused you ti light, in its organic law, at the adoption of t Federal Constitution. Congress has recogniz it over and over a<?ain, and manv of vou rece lect when free r/ersor?s of color voted in Nor Carolina. The great ?nc? go'o'cf men who founds the Government felt it no degreditioii that t ballot-box wa3 open to free persons of cole nor did General Jackson so regard it when called them u fellow citizens " in his Louishu campaign. I>ut further, it can easily be shov by the severest lo^ic, that if you are not to j allowed equality before the law, then the pri: 'cipieslaid down in the Declaration of Indepe dence, upon which our (government was base are words ' full of sound and fury, signify ii nothing.' You are four millions of people, the bone ai I sinew of the Southern States. If they are ev j to recuperate and regain tHe important p'osith ! they once held in the commercial world, it w I oe due to your energy and industry. But vc ! may well ask how is this to be expected if yt ! are denied the rights of freemen, if you are st j to remain a proscribed and degraded race ? j von have no other motive to incite you than base ?trugg?e for physical existence, if yon a , to feel no weight of responsibility, to be mov< ! by no feelings of honor and patriotism, are j entertain no hopes for the elevation and ai vancement of your children to a higher stan? point than you now occupy, then indeed I cai not see with what heart you can go to work 1 . rebuild the future of these shattered States. : But then vou will pav tax to the support < ! * x the Government. Your brearen m Louisian {hate been paying one for a number of years o ! property to the assessed value of fifteen mil liions of dollars. Is the colored man to have n J voice in the appropriation of his money : An /this too in a Government claiming to be repub j lican, fetihe^ed after a seven years war upon th ? principles of taxation and representation ! j Nothing could be more preposterous unless i be to refuse men the right of suffrage who hav j und -gone all manner of hardship and danger I for the sake of ?he Government ; who have vol unteered in the ranks of its armies and riske! their lives upon th? battle-field to maintain it integrity. There is something more than a jiu gie of words in the copulation of " ballot an? bullet." But there is even a more terrible calamia that vou may be doomed to bear than t he den ia of suffrage. I mean the denial of justice in ou: .courts of law. If you are not admitted to thc ; witness box how are you to provo your con j tracts: Y^ou will be at the mercy of ever) .scoundrel who has a white skin and is dispos?e I to swindle you. Of course you have no pro jection for your property. L.ow about youi j persons : You may be set upon, beaten into a ?jelly, and murdered outright, and c'lthough fiftj (colored persons may have seen :t you will j be without redress. What is to protect youi j wives and daughters when the bruta? tust o! j those who would select a time when no white . witnesses were present, to effect their devilish designs ri Formerly your masters protected you I as property, now you must protect yourselves las persons, and unfortunately the prejudice is I too strong against you} I fear, to expect justice j from the State: And there are other feelings by j no means so excusable as prejudice, and a poli cy by no means national, which will operate to I keep you down. Y'our only hope is an appeal to j Congress. Hold your meetings throughout tbe State; ?you have a right to do so. But let everything be j dene decently and in order. Put down at once !the slightest intimation in favor of violence, j Let not the evil disposed among you bring dis credit upon a good cause. There will be others, ! also, designing men, who will try to provoke you to this for Vour injury. You have been a much enduring people; co'ntint?e to be so now. Bear ing these things in mind, go On with your meet ings. Set the facts before Congress. You have j friends there, and your petitions will not be Unheard. Y'ou may tell them that national j tranquility and national justice demand you* j equality before the law ; that if the agitation of this (juestfon ?s' ever to cease, if yo'u are to be a contented and happy people \ if the root of fu ture internal trouble and confusion* at the South i's to be removed ; if they will introduce a new element of strength into'the Government; an ac cession of voters heartily loyal, who will sup ! port a national p'blicy, and'who may be relied cn in'any emergency, in peace or in war/If they wil? give you the means of defending your free I dorn; which otherwise will be a mockery ;: if ; they will guarantee to each State a republican 'form of government; if they will make Atoeri ?a the field for the development and progress o? humanity ; lt they will carry out t^e principies of the immortal Declaration; if they will clo these things, or any of them, then implore them not to admit a State until these important gua rantees are well secured. At present,your rights are protected by a military force, but woe to vou will be the day when a former Slave State will be admitted to full equality in thc Union and your equality before the law not recog nized. You may make what use you please of this letter. Yours respectfully, WM. W. COLEMAN. Henry W. Beecher and the C?w. A cow had boen purchased of a fanner resid ing two CM' three miles distant, and, being rather wild, she had lcd the doctor, mounted on Char Icy,-quite a steeple-chase,-twice swimming the Ohio and back again, and performing sund~y other exploits of an exasperating nature. But, by infinite perseverance the Doctor had succeed ed in getting her home and safely fastened in thc s'able, and was reposing victorious in the housCo Just at tiiis time Henry Ward, who had l>een absent and knew nothing of the new acqui sition, chanced to visit the barn for some pur pose, and finding, ns he supposed, a strange cow, was seized with indignation. u Why, here/' said he, i: herc's a strange cow in our barn. Get out ! Go along ! whey ! " And, suiting actions to the words, he seized a whip, aud drove the astonished arlie out into the street. " There," said he, com j ing in panting, where the Doctor was lying j stretched upon the sofa, " there ! 1 guess that cow will not get into our barn again in a hurry 1'' li What cow ? " says the Doctor ; ;i what do you mean ? " t; Why, I found an old cow in our barn, and drove her into thc street, and chased her until I was tired out, and then gave her a good beat ! ing." ;* Well, there !" exclaimed the Doctor, in de spair ; ?. you have done it F Here hate 1 been chasing half the day to get that cow in, and you have gone and chased her out again ? " ! TutPn INGENUITY. - A preacher in the neighborhood cf Blackfriars, London, not un deservedly popular/ hJad just finished an exhor tation strong?v recommending tile liberal sup I port of a certain very meritorious institution, j The congregation was numerous," and the chapel j crowded to excess. The discourse being finished, ! the plate was about to be handed round to the [ f cf bective pews, when the preacher made this short address to the congsegation : " From the sympathy I have witnessed in your counten ances, and the strict attention you have honored me with, there fs only one thing I am sorry for ; that some of you may feel fucTineJ to give too much. Xow, it is my dut}v to' inform you that justice, though not so pleasant, should al vra vs be ? prior virtue tb1 generosity ; therefore, as ydd will all be immediately waited upon in your respective pews, I wish to have it thor oughly understood, that no person will think of putting anything into the plate who cannot pay his debts," I need not add that this advice pro duced a most overflowing collection. POLITE.-There recently lived af: Palermo, Sicily; ah o?d priest who passed for a little cracked un poco motto, as the Italians say. He had an odd whim : whenever a carriage passed by him he would bow profoundly. The idle young fcTibv/s would laugh and say: 11 Don Liberatore, you have strangely aristocratic ac quaintances for a man of your station of life. Where in the deuce did you make the acquaint ance cf .all those lords ?44 Bless vour heart, J?child," ? don't sainte the lords; I salute thc horses** *. Their horses! And pray why dc you salute their horses : " In the first place ?child,' because I think it is very good-natitree ho drag about people as they do ; in the seconc place,1 because f feel X am under personal, obli gation to the horses, therefore I tender them mi thanks ; because if these aristocratic people had not horses to drag them about, they woulc take you and me."' An old. g?nt?eraa?i aqcused his servant of hav ing stolen his stick. The man protested perfeci innocence. "Why, you know," rejoined his master, "thal the stick could never have watked* on with it self.". "Certainly not, sir, unless it was a walking stick." [From tho Phrenological Journal.] OUR GIIOS. Mr, Editer,-there is no pan of your nigl esteemed journal more interesting than that ! "Our Social Relations/' Anything That con under this department is read with care, though hitting me often severely. Now, I ?ni a man, and.unknown to fame, these respects, differing from Mrs. George ' Wyllys as in opinions of varioua causes tl make the relation of the sexes inharmonioi I respectfully beg leave to throw out a f hints, or, rather, give my masculine ideas various points in the social education, of t : sexes. There is from the very beginning of traini of our youth wrong modes of thought and ? tion ; and much more at variance with a prof. system in that of girls than boys. The mc arc brought up on the idea, papa is a person gratify each pecuniary desire. They 'are to educated in a fashionable school. This mea a place to gain, with a little useful knowledi many frivolous and even injurious ideas ; dress fashionably, becoming a puny- set of b ings, with distorted, Unhealthy bodies, and t seeds of disease that will carry them prematui ly to their graves. I apprehend the great tro ble is in want of a physical education. Tl will bring about a more simple and natur style of dress conducive to a freer action of i parts of the system and better health. Xo none can deny that there is too great a dift'e encc between the males and females of our rac In no other department of creation do we s so vast a difference in the physical enduranc The female organization is finer and in ca pcb of as long action, but as healthful and mo perfect ; and the more perfect the physical, tl better the intellectual, and greater intelligen upon books, wars, and politics. At present : much tiitie U given to fashionable dressing, th our girls have not time to inform themselv upon current events. ''Open the purse-strings I think that generally we cannot complain want of economy by our girls. The cxtrav; sance is in the waste of time in fixing "frisk frilling*" to decorate their persons, not for tl gentlemen, as the ladies of my acquaintance at mit, but because "the other girls do." It carried to excess, and gives them no time to ir form themselves upon business and kindre ?topics that must necessarily interest the mei [as from them comes ail the money for the grat fica'tlon of all desires. In this we are all blamable. Did the nece: ty exist, how soon would they acquire it. Ot girls now are quite excluded from business crr ployments that give a liberal idea cf the wan! and magnitude of our great world cf busines: "\Vherc they are a??owed to engage, how inad< i (?uately rewarded ! Certainly they ought t ? receive the same pay for the la Dor as the men So small a compensation prevents many poe girls from acquiring an education, for when de pendent upon their own labor, it is impossibl to clothe themselves and pay the expenses c schooling. Thus they are forced to a life c excessive labor, cr to marry at the first offet and get ell thc money possible from their be loved. Who would not do the same? I ccr tainly would. A truer compensation is the de ' mand of the working-girls. A simpler ' dress tnat they may have more leisure to acquire use ! ful information V?fcn those topics that engros 1 the attention of the men, wno r.t?w. seek ever; means to gratify each desire of the loved ones. Let there be a pet feet understanding, mutua ' confidence, and no more would the husbani i seek other society or neglect to take vou whei - he drives. Are men so unwise that the ornaments o j dress secure attention or attract them mor than true moral worth r Girls, beware, for on ly the worthless are pleased with such ostenta tion, and they are those who make your nig gardly don:t-bother-,me husband. You nee< fear no neglect, if able to talk and consult wit! him who is to provide you with the necessarie and surround you with the luxuries of life. T( this the whole attention is given. And whei you are not interested as much in the gaining a? in the spending, he is apt to retire within him self, and show y cu a bearish sociability. Let there be a" place at home sacred from al ideas of toil-a sanctum of domestic love anc sociability, where never intrudes the cross wore and sour look. With a pleasant word and smile, welcome him as he comes fr cm the sharp conflict with his fellows. Vou say are we al ways to wear a smiling face to chase away his frown ? The children have been vexatious, can we always bear it smilingly ? Know this.wives, that when assured of* a habitually pleasant re Iception, the frown will be left at the office, put from the faces, closed with the ledger. It is ut terly impossible to do o'therwiee, for_it begets like, as surely as operates nature's laws. lie Come to him a necessary part and parcel, a wife fri every respect, and he will not fail to respond, ?f he does not, then put him down as one of those to who'rn Mrs. Wyllys ha's net addressed any hints. Can we not in these tirnes" of revolution and reform, when the lait wreck qt barbarism is ^vanishing before light cf liberty, while a free, t ransomed nation shout hosannas-can we .not banish all false ideas o'f fashion, and live a ra t tional existence in gr?ater accordance with the plainest laws that govern our physical and so r cia! being ? J. H.P. " Hear Me for my Cause." . The following address was agreed upon Convention of colored people, recently asse bled in North Carolina, as proper to present the Constitutional Convention of that State, is so fair, so clear, so just and humane, that think the Convention will receive it. Tot/ie Constitu? iona1 Convention of Xor th C? Una and the People of the State : Assembled as delegates from different portie of the State, and representing a large body the colored people thereof,' we most respectfu and humbly beg leave to represent to you, a through you to the people of North Carolii someihing of our situation and our wants a: people. ICarnestly disclaiming all wish to forest your action, or to dictate m the solemn and i portant duties which have been entrusted to y in this most critical period ; and confiding your wisdom, justice, and patriotism to gui the interests of all classes, and more particul ly of that class, which, being most helpless, v most need your just and kind considirati they but exercise the'rights guaranteed to I humblest citizen in this their petition. h is with reverent and grareful acknowledj ment of the divide favor and interposition tl we accept the precious boon of freedom. 1 suiting as it has from the prolonged and bloo struggle of two gi eat powers, and finally < creed by .the national will, we look forw:i with confidence to see the decree ratified by t whole people of this State. Though it was impossible to remain indif? ent spectators of the stiuggle, you wilt do the justice to admit that we have remain throughout obedient and passive, acting su part only as has been assigned to us, and calif i waiting upon Providence. Our brethren lal I fought on the side of the Union, w hile we ha been compelled to serve in thc camp, to bu: fortifications, and raise subsistence for thc Co federate army. Do yod blame us that we ha 'meantime proved for freedom to our race. Just emerging from bondage, under whi our race has groaned for 250 years, and sui*t ing from its consequent degrech?.t:on; we are fi ly conscious that we pcsa'kSs rio power to co trol legislation in our behalf, and must who] depend" npon'moral ?ppe?l fj (ne" "hearts a: consciences of the people of our State. Do upon the same soil, and raised in an intimacy relationship with you, which is unknown in a I other state of society, we have formed attac monts for the white race which must be enduring as life; and we can conceive of reason why our God-bestowed freedom shot now sever the kindly ties which have so lo united us. , .Filled with gratitude to God for his gv( blessings, we would bury in oblivion the ?TOE of the past, and wish to become more unit than ever and more useful in all .the relations life. We are fully conscious that we cannot lo: expect the presence of Government agents, the troops to secure us against the evil trea ment from unreasonable, prejudiced, and unju men. We have no desire to look abroad fi protection and sympathy. We know we mu .find both at home among the people of our ov ! State, and merit them by our industry, sobri ty, and respectful demeanor, ur suif-r long ai grievous evils. We acknowledge with gratitude that there a t those among the planters who have prompt I conceded our freedom, and have manifested ! just and humane disposition toward their fo ! mer slaves. We think no ?>uch perseus, or ve ! few at least, have lost their working ha??ds i !:desertion. At the same time it must be knou f ?to you that many planters have either kc j'the freedmen in doubt, have wholly denied h freedom, or have grudgingly conceded it, a:, while doing so, have expel? .'d his family fro the plantation which they m ty have c!e??rodear [enriched by their toil through long and wcai j years. Some have withheld j ist compensation, < such as would not support the laborer and h family, while others have driven the haue j away without any pay at all, or even a share? f the crops they Lav,- ra:.-: il. Women with fain lies of children, whose husbands have bec sold, have died, or have Wrongfully deserte them, have in some cases been driven awa from the home service. Is it justj or Christiai thus to thrust out upon the cold world nelpie families to perish : These grosser forms of evil, we believe wi \correct themselves, under wise and humai legislation ; but we do most respectfully an earnestly urge that some suitable measures'ma be adopted to prevent unscrupulous and avar ci cu s masters, from the practice of these an other similar acts of injustice and cruelty tc wards our people. Our first and engrossing concern in our ne relations is how we shall provide shelter an an honorable subsistence for ourselves and f milies.. You will say, " Woik." This we ai willing and expect to do; but without the aid < just legislation how shall we secure ad?quat compensation for our labor ?.. [f the kindly r< dations we SQ .much, desire shall prevail, mu: there not be mutual co-operation ? As ot longer degredation cannot add to your comfor make us more obedient as servants, or moi useful as citizens, will you not aid us by a wis and just legislation to aid ourselves ? We des? education for our children, that they may I more useful in all thc relations jf life. Wc rhdst earnestly ccsire.ro nave the disabili ties under which we have formerly-lived re moved ; to have all the oppressive laws, which made unjust discriminations on account of race or color wiped from the statutes of the State We invoke your protection for the sanctity o: ! our family relations. Is this asking too much ? ? We most respectfully and urgently pray that some provision may be made for the great num ber of orphan children, and the helpless and in - ! firm who, by the new order of affairs, will bf thrown upon the world without its protection. Also, that you will favor by some timely and wise measures the re-union of families, whicl have been long broken up by whr.' or by ci.-, operations of slavery. Though associated with many memories o . sufferirirj, as well as of enjoyment, we alway? loved our hemes, and dreaded, as the worst o; evils, a forcible separation from them, No? I that freedom and a new career are before us w< love .this land and people more than ever before . Here we have toiled and suffered ; our p?relas wive?, and children are buried here, and iii thi land we will remain unless forcibly . drive, away. Finally, praying for such encouragement : our industry, as the proper regulations of th hours of labor, and thc providing the means L protection of cur property and cf ot?r perse?. against rapacious ?nd crud employers, and fe collection of just claims, we commit our ea us into your hands, invoking Heaven's choices blessings upon your deliberations.
