make gold ring for him, having in it blade,

sinnoceunly, asked what he wanted to do with
such an article to which the reply was TO cut open
pockets with.
"Ah," replied the jeweller, doubtless in amaze
ment 'how can you do such things with such an
instrument and not be detected Z"
The performer replied that his art consisted IN
diver:ing the attention of people from everything
that looked like design upon them-that he rub
bed bis forehead adjusted his hat, &c, and that
discovery came TOO late. He then bade him good
morning. and went his way. Shortly after the

GEN. TAYLoR's letter to the Hon. J. lREDELL,
which we published the other day, expressed
its warm approval of the esprit of moderation
in political opinions" which, in his view,
characterizes the following resolution, be-
ing one of those adopted at the Raleigh
meeting, to which Gen. TAYLOR, alludes in
his letter:
ReSOlued, unanimously, That we cordial,
ratify this nomination, and the more readil,
because II was not accomplished by the scheme:
combine tons, and intrigues OF unprlncipleC
partisans; and we do hereby pledge oLrselve.
10 exert all honorable means for easuring Gen
Taylor election By triumphant ma joflty ol
the people. And though the Wing party are
more cOnfidentlyapealed to for the accomplish
ment of this patriotic purpose, we desire to
see patriots aud republicans of North Carolins
united in ii, no matter by what part,
names they have been designated heretofore.
We say this more cheeriully because we arr
assured that Gen. Zachary Taylor, though
true Wing, would be the President of the ma
tion, and not of mere party, endeavoring Il
act al all times Independent OF party domino
ton, and administering the Government indie
pendent OF party schemes; that he would taxi
the CosTlTUTIoS for his PLATFORM, and, guided
by it, as il was acted upon by WASHINGTON
and our earlier Presidents, he would respect
and carry out, not seek 10 overawe and contro
the will of the People, as legitimately express
ed through their representatives in Congress
upon domestic policy. If the republicans o
North Carolina have not lost the character o
their sires and abandoned the faith of rs, W,
rely upon their cooperation. We confident

Mr.. WISE AND GEN. CAss-The locofoco
prints in Virginia make the support of MIR.
Wise the occasion of peculiar rejoicing. They
must he easily exalted, when such cheap m
ISOLATION is so marked source of satisfaction.
But since they have attempted 10 give impor-
lance TO the fact. in the hope of recruiting their
shattered strength. let us see what opinions
their present Magnus Apollo once entertained
of the Baltimore candidate.
independent, the Washington Couespon-
dent of The North American writes as fol
lows:
elm 1917 such YVES the violence OF Mr..
Wise's opposition 10 Gen. Jackson and his
party, that he moved the appointment Of a spe-
cial committee TO investigate the alleged abuses
and corruptions of the Executive Departments.
BY referring to the 81 volume of Reports of
Committees, page Is, 81 session ,2ith Congress,
il will be found that this committee met, ac-
cording TO adjournment, on the morning Ol the
9th January. 1887.
"Mr. Wise submitted the following as the
form of the oath 10 be administered TO the wit
nesses, which was adopted unanimously. You
do solemnly swear that the evidence YOU shall
give touching the subjects of investigation al
this committee, shall be the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, SO help you
God.
"Mr Wise was then presented to the Com
mttee as a witness, and the document says,
took the oath by repeating the words and kiss
ing the Book. Upon being Intercepted, he
replied as follows concerning Gen. Cass.
81 believe that Lewis Cass, Secretary of War
was engaged in Specializing in the public lands
whilst Secretary of War; that he made exhor-
bitant allowances TO favorites; paid out for
services never performed; another, after he had
full knowledge that the ia ,orite had forged his
official signature; permitted commissions un-
der him TO be antedaied, and has ordered d
Treasury warrant TO be paid TO the assignee oil
discussing officer, who had gambled il away.
after II had been protested BY deposite bank
and was countermanded by the Secretary OF
the Treasury; and to have been guilty of sever.
al other acts of violation of duty"
''These were the charges preferred against
the locofoco candidate BY Mr.. Wise in 1887
under the solemn injunclions of an oath fran.
ed by himself He has never recanted them
since then. The party in Virginia and else
where, has reason to be proud of the co-opera
ton of MIR. Wise, and commend TO the Rich
mond Enquirer and to its satellites. this scrap
OF history for their edification. 1t will serve
to embelllsh his present efforts, and 10 cement
their bonds of affection. This reminiscence
Will doubtless prove as unpalatable to Mr..
Wise as another one has often done TO MIR
RItchie-l mean that in which he denounced
the election ofGen. Jackson las a curse 10 the
country" The coincidence that they should
both in turn support the man whose character
they most bitterly assailed. is striking, as well
as that they should both be Virginians and botl
patent Democrats"
