That your convention saw fit to

of the last forty years is
essentially note worthy. That many

represented by men ot their owii
unfettered choice. Proscription
were abaored if these did not wish
to elect the very men whom they
are forbidden to choose.
I have a profound regard for the
people of that part of New Eng-land
wherein I was born, in whose
common schools I was taught. I
rank no people above them in in-telligence,
capacity and moral
worth; but while thej do many
things well, and some admirably,
there is one thing they cannot safe-ly
or wisely undertake, and that is
the selection for States remote from
and unlike their own, of the per-sons
by whom thes* States shall be
represented iu Congress. If they
could do this to good purpose, then
Republican institutions are unfit
and aristocracy the only true polit-ical
system. Tet: wbaf have we
lvccntly witnessed t Z. B. Vance,
the unquestioned choice of a large
majority of the present Legislature
of North Carolina, a majority back-ed
by a majority of the people who
voted at its election, refused the
seatiu the Federal Senate to which
he was chosen, and the Legislature
thus constrained to choose another
iu bis place or leave the State un-represented
for years.
The vote of New England thus
deprived North Caroliua of the
Senator of her choice, aud compell-ed
her to send another in his stead,
another who in our contest was,
like Vance, a rebel, a fighting rebel,
but had not served in Congress be-fore
the war as Vance had, though
the latter remained faithful to the
Union till after the close of his
term. I protest against the dis-franchisemeut
of a State, presump-tively
of a number of States, on
ground so narrow and technical as
this. The fact that the same Sen-ate
which refused bis seat proceed-ed
to remove his disabilities after
that seat had been filled by anoth-er,
only serves to place In a strong-er
light the indignity of North Car-olina,
aud the arbitrary, capricious
tyranny which dictated it.
I thank you, geutlemen, that my
name is to be conspicuously asso
elated With yours iu a determined
effort to render amnesty complete
and universal iu spirit as well as in
letter. Even defeat in such a case
would leave no sting, while triumph
would rank with those victories
which no blood reddeus, and which
evoke no tears but those ot grati-tude
aud joy.
Gentlemen, your platform, which
is also uiincj assures mo that Dem-ocracy
is not henceforth to stand
lor one thing and Republicanism
for another; but these terms arc to
mean in politics, as they have
always meant in the dictionary,
substantially one and the same
tlnug, uainely, equal rights, regard-less
of creed or clime or color. I
hail this as a genuine new depart-ure
from outworn feufTS anil mean-ingless
contentions in the direction
of progress and reform.
Whether I shall be found worthy
to bear the standard of the great
Liberal movement which the Ame-rican
people have inaugurated is to
be determined not by words, but
deeds—with me, if I steadily ad-vance
; over me, if I falter. Its
grand array moves on to achieve
tor our country her glorious bene-
Sclent destiny.
1 remain, geutlemen, yours,

that despite the protests ot'a

the overthrow or desires the re-es-tablishineut

word to Voorhees that "all his old

better come along too, before they

message, and sent this back : ne

Tobacco Stems.—There having been
some misunderstanding about the
status of tobacco stems under the
internal revenue law, the following
letter from Commissioner Douglass
explains the matter:
"TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OF-PIC
OF INTERHJJ.BBVKHUK.WA.SH-TWiTO.
N, July 13, 187L Sir :—lu
reply to your letter of July 11th, iu
relation to tobacco stems, I have to
say that tobacco stems are not in-elided
under the bead of 'refuse
.-ri.qis and sweepings of tobacco.'—
Unmanufactured tobacco stems, not
being liable to tax, may be sold or
given away at pleasure, the manu-facturer
simply i(-porting his dispo-sition
of them to the assessor.

An Omaha school-boy lately de-fined

who doesn't ones nu awe*!,"
"NEW YORK, July 5th, 1872.
My Dear Sir:—Tours of the 26th
ultimo only reached me three days
ago. I respond as promptly as I
may. The problem of civil service
reform is rendered difficult by an
alliance between the executive and
legislative branches of our Federal
franchise government. Those mem-bers
of Congress who tavor the
Administration habitually claim,
and are accorded,a virtual monopo-ly
of the Federal offices in their re-spective
States or districts, dicta-ting
appointments and removals as
interest or caprice may suggest.
The President appoints at their bid
ding
They legislate iu subservience to
his will; often in opposition to their
own convictions. Unless all histo-ry
is unmeaning, this confusiou of
executive and legislative responsi-bilities
and functions could not fail
to distemper and corrupt the body
politic. 1 hold the eligibility of our
President to re-election the main
sonrce of this corruption. A Pres-ident
should be above the hope of
future favor or the fear of aliena-ting
powerful and ambitious parti-sans.
He .should be the official chief
not of a party, but of the Republic.
He shoultl dread nothing but the
accusing voice of history and the
inexorable judgment of God. He
should fully realize and never for-get
that Congress, iu its own sphere,
is paramount and iu no wise amen-dable
to his supervision, and that
the heartiest good will to his Ad-ministration
is perfectly compatible
with the most poiuted desceut from
his inculcations iu the very gravest
questions in finance or political
economy. It is the first step that
costs. Let it be settled that a Prec-is
not to be re-elected while iu office,
aud civil service reform is no long-er
difficult. He will need no organ
no subsidized defender*. He will
naturally select his chief-counsel-lors
Iii.in among the ablest and
wisest ot his eminent iellow citizens,
regardless alike of the shrieks of
locality and the suggestion of a sel-fish
policy. He will have no inter-est
to conciliate, no chief of a pow-erful
clau to attach to bis personal
fortunes. He will be compelled to
appoint, as will none deny that.he
should appoint, men of ripe expe-rience
iu business and eminent mer-cantile
capacity to collect, keep,
and disburse the revenue, instead
of dexterous manipulators of pri-mary
meetings anti skilful traffick-ers
in delegates to nominating con-ventions.
He will thus transform
a party machine into a business es-tablishment.
No longer an aspir-ant
to place, the President will nat-urally
aim to meet and deserve the
approbation of the entire people,
but especially of the eminently wise
and gootl. As to the machinery of

coniiilcut. is not the fault of the

have wrought to better purpose.—
A thinker has observed that the
spirit in which we work is the chief
matter, and we can never achieve
civil service reform until the interest
which demand it shall be more per

which resist even while seeming to

not distant, ! fervently trust.—

Mr. Greeley on the Carpet
Baggers and the New De-parture
oi both parties.
Extract from a Letter Written by Mr.
Greeley to the Tribune in May, 1871.
SOBACTt, THIEVES!!!
"Itepublicaus of the South I yon
have a desperate struggle just ahead
and yon cannot win unless you
send, these villisns^carpet-baggers)
totne rear. You cannot rely on
their modesty or their sense mde-cency;
they will push themselves
forward into the most conspicuous
posts, no matter at what peril and
mischief to your cause, unless you
stonily say/'GOBACKTHrVES!"
You cannot afford to be delicate
with men who do not knew what
delicacy means. Unless yon show
by ye»»»e»'rliMy(ni detest pecu-lators
and scorn to be led by them,
you will be beaten, and will deserve
to be. Yen can put those fellows
where they belong if you try: and
you MUST try. "Their effrontery
will desert them wherever they see
that you not only loathe rascality,
but do not hesitate to show your
loathing."
In his speech ou his return from
Texas, to a mass meeting in New
York, June 10th, 1871, he thus
spoke on the same subject.
Well, gentlemen, the thieving
carpet-baggers are a mournful fact;
they do exist there, and I have seen
them. They are fellows who crawl-ed
down South iu the track of our
armies, generally at a very sate dis-tance
in the rear; some of them on
sutlers' wagons; some bearing cot-ton
permits; some of them looking
sharply to see what might turn up;
and they remain there. They at
once ingratiated themselves with
the Blacks, simple, credulous, ig-norant
men, very glad to welcome
and follow any whites who profess-ed
to be the champions of their
rights. Some ol them got elected
Senators, others Representatives,
some Sheriffs, some Judges, and so
on. And there they stand, right in
the public eye, stealing and plun-dering,
many of them with both
arms arouud negroes, and their
hands in their rear pockets, seeing
if they cannot t ick a paltry dollar
out of them : and the public looks
at them, does not regard the hon-est
Northern meu, but calls every
"carpet-bagger"' a thief, which is
not the truth by a good deal. But
these fellows—many of them long-faced,
and with eyes rolled up, are
greatly concerned for the education
of the Blacks, aud for the salvation
of their sonls. [Great laughter.)—
"Let us pray," they say; but they
spell pray with "a," and, tints spoil
etl.t hey obey the apostles injunction
to "pray without ceasing."
Fellow-citizens, the time has been
and still is, when it was perilous to
be known as a liepubliv.au or an
Abolitionist in the South; but it
uevcr called the blush of shame to
any man's cheek to be so called un-til
these thieving carpet-baggers
went there—never! 'Applause!—
They got into the Legislature; they
went to issuing State bonds ; they
pretended to use. them in aid of
railroads and other improvements.
But the improvements were not
made, and the bonds stuck in the
issuers' pockets. That is the pity
of it.
"Well," some say, "you have just
such thieves at the North." Yes,
we have—too many of them I—
[Applause.] But the South was al-ready
impoverished—was bank-rupt-
without money, withont thrift,
almost without food; aud these
fellows went there robbing and
swindling when there was very lit-tle
to steal, and taking the last ten
cent shiuplaster off' ot dead men's
eyes.
THE NEW DEPARTURE.
He thus concluded the same
speech of June 10th, 1871, in favor
a general departure from strife to
peace, about to be Jealized iu the
election of the combined Cincin-nati
and Baltimore ticket.
"Fellow-citizens—I trust the day
is not distant wherein, puttiug be-hind
us tbo things that concent the
Past, we shall ruler to that grand
old junction of tho Bible. ".Speak
to the children of Isreal that they
go forward." I am weary of fight-ing
over issues that ought to be
dead—that logically were dead
years ago. When Slavery died, I
thought that we ought speedily to
have ended all that grew out of it
by Universal Amnesty aud Impar-tial
Suffrage. ,'Applause. I think
so Still; and that, if the Democrat-ic
party shall oonuedo Impartial
Suffrage, the Republicau party will
concede Universal Amnesty; if not,
it will have a very short lease of
power. So, then, friends, I sum-moii
you all, Kepublicaus and Dem-ocrats,
to prepare for the new issues
and new struggles that visibly opeu
belore us.' Iu the times not far dis-tant,
I trust, we shall consider
questions mainly of industrial poli-
What Holden said in 1868-
"The Governor baa power to sus-pend
all civil law as it was suspend-ed
in 1866."— W. W. Holden.
WHAT HOLDEN RAID IK 1870.
"If Congress would authorize the
suspension, by the President, of the
writ of Habeas Corpus in certain lo-calities,
and if criminals could be
arrested and tried, before military
tribunals and shot we would soon
have peace and order throughout
all this country.1*— W. W. Holden.
And yet the Radical Convention
that nominated Caldwell sustained,
by Resolution, Holden and His
Acts.
WatAT JOHH POOL ADVISHD.
John Pool proposed to put Into
the service a desperado named Mc-
Lindsay, who wonld raise a compa-ny
that "would give Governor Hol-den
no tronble,for that if any of the
men arrested by him undertook any
resistance he would kill them or
they would be lost and never be
heard of again;" aud suggested that
the Governor (Holden) should fol-low
the example of Governor Clay-ton,
of Arkansas, "who had taken
military possession of disaffected
counties and tried and executed
large numbers of men by military
courts."—B. C. Badger's sworn testi-mony.
Mr. Badger told two gentlemen in
Raleigh of this months before the
above testimony was given.
WHAT HOLDEN PURPOSED.
"If he (Governor Holden) is ever
personally menaced his friends will
resent it and punish the man or
men who may do it—if he is slain
or even wounded it is already de-termined
that leading Democrats
and Conservatives, who might be
named, will be instantly pat to
death. The Governor's mind is
made up"—Raldgh Standard.
What Neill McKay, Radical can-didate
for Congress said to the ne-groes
in a recent speech :
"Rally this last time and carry
the election, and there will be no
parlor aud no kitchen."
Blood will Tell.—"For the future," c>-_11Uestious of uatioual advauce-ys
the New York Herald, what- meDt_questions concerning the
best means whereby our different
■ j
parties may, through co-operation,
or through rivalry, strive to pro-mote
the prosperity, the happiness
and the true glory of the American
people. To that contest I invite
you. For that contest I wonld pre-pare
you. Aud so, trusting that
the blood shed in the past will be a
sufficient atonement for the sins of
the past, and that we are entering
upon a grand New Departure, not
for one party only, but for the whole
country—a departure from strife to
harmony, from devastation to con-struction,
lrom famine and desola-tion
to peace and plenty—I bid you
friends aud fellow-citizens, an af-fectionate
good night." [Prolonged
cheers and applause."]
Old maids are fond of pairs, but
cannot bear any reference to dates.
Endorsing the Kirk War.
The Radical State Convention
adopted a resolution returning the
thanks of the Republican party to
Gev. Holden "for bis manful and
heroic defence of them in 1809-70."
Also another resolution, in which
they "endorse him in the past," and
promise to "cherish love for him in
the future-"
This puts theRadical party square-ly
on the Kirk platform. This is an
endorsement of the cruelties prac-ticed
by that Tennessee brigand.
This endorsement of the. tortures
inflicted upon Murray and Patton
and other prisoners,iu the war upon
the people of North Carolina. This
is an endorsement of the arrest and
imprisonment of Josiah Turner and
John Kerr. This is an endorsement
of the whole programme of usurpa-tion,
revenge, malice, and cruelties
of 1870, which thrills with horror
every patriotic heart, and brought
down upon the heads of the perpe-trators
a storm of denunciations
from every section of the country.
Publish it to the people of North
Carolina! Let the atrocious crime
of the atrocious RadiealConvention,
in sustaining and endorsing the
horrible atrocities of the atrocious
Kirk war, be proclaimed all over
the State!
Let the startling intelligence
arouse the slumbering indignation
of our people.
Let the patriotic fires that con-sumed
Radicalism in] 1870, be en-kindled
from the mountains to the
seal
North Carolinians! let us organ
ize in every county in the State!—
Let not a moment be lost. We have
an unscrupulous foe to combat, but
we have every element ot success
in our party. We have the power
if we will only use it.
Let every man go to work—and

Let us see to it, that every man
who is opposed to radicalism shall
cast his vote on the flrst Thursday
in August.
Till the day of election there must
be constant, incessant work. Let
there be no lukewarmness, or indif-ference,
no dissensions in our ranks.
Let onr whole force be marshalled.
Let us go forward iu the pride of
conscious strengthJpanoplied in the
cause of right!

Why this Change t—The States-ville
Aatericoa contains the follow-ing
item iu its last issue:
"The 'small fry' continue to bark
at the heels of Hon. John Pool, and
now and then, a big cur opens bis
bow-wow, as if stirred up by the
small nee."
How does the above jingle with
the following which appeared in
that paper on the 22nd of January 1
"Of all North Carolina's degener-ate
son's John Pool stands without
a rival formeaness, cowardice, pusil-lanimity,
not only in the above affair,
(refering to Jno. Pool's connection
with the Vance Abbott U. & Seua-torship.)
but in all bis public acts,
Which have been antagonistic to the
interests and welfare of the State.
He bas lived upon her people, eon-spired
to take lives and murder her
children, and heaped opprobrium
upon the fair name of the State.

and public indignation which will
be fathomless."

right to interfere with the privi-leges
of the humblest of their own
race, than with those of the white
man.
This cruel and Winked sou tan-lawful
persecution ot the colored
man, now so common among us by
bis own race, for the exercise of his
undoubted right to vote as he pleas-es,
mutt be duly punished under
the law,aud the colored people who

made to understand that a colored
voter has as much sight to cast his

right in Jlaw and more In reason to
do so, no human being has the least
authority under the laws and Con-stitution
of his country to interfere
with the free exercise of thin high

It is manifest now, and haa been
for some time past, as we all know,
that the colored voter is deterred
from the free expression ofbis opin-ions
and the enjoyment of his
rights, not by any dread of the
white man but by the fear of his

for the worst and aeett wished and

Hon. D. M. Barringer.
DEAB Sin:—Yonr favor of the
23rd inst., having been received
during absence of the senior, Mr.
Smith, from the city, I proceed to
give the information you asked for
iu your letter. I attended the trial
before Coaiiaisssoner Beat and. have
to inform you that sue po||M man
has been bound over to the next
term of the U.S. Circuit Court upon
the charge of having attempted by
threats of violence t» prevsnt Seai-nel
G. Cross horn freely exerciaipg
the right of suffrage, and that two,
others have been bound over for
having conspired for that purpose.
The evidence showed dearly,that
simply because Cross had dornd to ■
declare himself iu favor of Horace
Greeley for President and to act as
a Marshal at the Democratic-Con-servative
mans meeting recently
held in this city, he was the object
of a foul conspiracy.and was brutal-ly
assaulted by an Infuriated mob,
from which he escaped only by pre-cipitate
flight, and at the Imminent
hazard of his life. The ether par-ticipants
in this crime shall be
brought to justice if they can be
identified, and to this end, be as-sured
that no pains will be spared.
The defendants who have been
bound over, and their frfeada seem-ed
very much surprised and shock-ed
to learn that the Enforcement
Act applied to them as wwl as the
whites ; and the whole matter tahan
in connection with other kindred
events which have recently occur
red in our Btate, show the iegiti
mate fruits in Ignorant minds ortho
teachings of the moot reekless and
abandoned leaders that ever con-trolled
the destiny of any party in
any age or clime.
Highly commending the patriotic
ardor which has prompted your In-terest

Respectfully and truly yours,
