Public speaker* and newspaper?
in t" rtain sections of the United 1
States make a great to-do these 1
<!av* about their sympathy with 1
the Boors in South Africa in their 1
contest with the British, and with,
ti;/? negroes in North Carolina, 1
n > uro about to be disfranchised 1
o:t account of ignorance, and their
white herders. These instances '
famish an excellent example of ^
the rarity of the jewel? consisten j 1
<y. The Boers are fighting, in
?ho main, for tho privilege of dis- 1
franchising educated whits men, (
preventing them from bearin" I
n
arms, unci at tho same time heavi- '
ly taxing thern? in this they have j '
a lot of sympathy from a certain '
class; the North Carolina Demo- . '
erats are vigorously attacked l?y r
this same outfit because they see I
tit, for the safety of their State, '
to prevent tho ignorant from '
voting, without abridging their
other privileges, and collecting | r
little or notax from them. Draw H
