We point with pride to their recognition hy onr opponents, aud count among our faireat achiteve- menta the pleture of the brosent Democtatic Gavernor of the State celebrating ** Emancipa- tion Day * with our colared citize: congrata- 1ating htmself and them upon ti lnmrtv and equality of civiirights; organizing and equivping cofored troops; officlating with excusable prido as their commantderdn-cnict, and returning with deferential scrupulousness as reviewing officer the salute of those whose riglt to be citizens he #0 lately denied, and whose support he more re- cently contemned. This action of & Demsocratic Exccutive, and the appointment by the present Democratic Legisiature of colored men In many counties to 411 judicial positions, will, we hupe, have the elfect of obliteratiug the color-llne In politics {n this State, and wo trust will be fol- lawed by beneiicial resulte. In the nomination by the Democrataof Smith, Diltard, and Ashe as Jiniges of the Bupreme Court, we witncss a defeat of the nitrasnd proscriptive element of that party, and a tri- umph of the moderate and concilatory wing. We desire to recognize and encourage the spirit thos manifested, and express our confldence in the gentlemen named for the Surrtme Court ns regards their ability, impartiality, and A vour- teous recognitton of the rights of all classes of citizens. e sincerely deslre to profoct the Bupremo Tribunal ef this Ntate from such tlanderous attacks af partisan lur{ and hate as hav been heaped by the Democratle press upon tha present able and upright Court from the day of ts organization. The tyranny and injustico of some of onr Democerntic Judges, their partisan rulinus and Nagrant eruelty toward the colorod race, demand. our cariest and continucd protest and resist- ance. The practice of Imposing severc penal- ties for trivial offcnses, fn the cases of colored men, and the imposition of tess oncrous penal- ties or the entiro remissionof punishmeut fu the cases of white Democrata, tends to destroy re- spect for the courts, to oncournge violence, and to Increase the proportion of flagrant of- fenses.
