RELIGIOUS FREEDoM.-Do not the following noble
sentiments of Webster rise far above the miserable
narrow, and bigoted policy of modern advocates of
religious intolerance and persecution? How can the
old admirers of the eaglc.like Webster thrust him
aside and listen to the wretched croakngs of the
"night raven of Jcsuitism," the present Know No
thing Secret party? We find the following in the
Norfolk Argus:
1T seems to be the American destiny, the mission
which has been entrusted to us here on this shore
Of the Atlantic the great conception and the great
duty to which are born, to show that all sects,
and all denominations protesting reverence for the
authority of the author of being and belief in his
revelations may be safely tolerated without prejudice
either to our religion our liberties.
We are Protestants generally speaking; but you
all know that there presides at the head Of the Su
preme Judicature of the United States, Roman
Catholic and no man, suppose through the whole
United States, magines that the judcaturc is less
safe that the administration of public justice is less
respectable or less secure because the Chief Justice
of the United States has been, and is, firm a3he-
rent of that religion. And so it is in every depart
ment Of society amongst US.
In both houses of Congress, in all public offices,
we proceed on the idea that mans religious belief
is a matter above human law that it is question
to be settled between him and his Maker, because
he is responsible to but his Maker for adopting
or rejecting revealed truth.
And here is the great distinction which is some
times overlooked, and which am afraid is now too
often overlooked, in New England, the glorious in
heritance of the sons of the Pilgrims
Men, for their religious sentiments, are accounta-
BILE to God, and to God only.

The LANGUAGE OF WAsHINGroN.-The recent

cence. During the first campaign Of the revolution
some of the camp-followers Of the American army
entetcd into design that called out the following
order, which may be found entered in Washingtou's
"Ordery Book ="
"NovExBER 5, 1775-As the commander-in-cbief
has been apprized of design for the observance of
that ridiculous and childish custom of burning the
efigy of the Pope, he cannot help expressing his
surprise that there should be officers and soldiers in
this army void Of common as not to see the
impropricty of such step at this juncture-at a
time when we soliciting and have really obtain
ed the friendship and alliance of the people of Cam
ada whom we ought to consider as brethren en-
braced in the same cause.-The defence of the gener
al liberty of America. At such a juncture, and in
such circumstances to be insulting their religion, is
so monstrous as not to be suffered or excused in
deed Instead of offering the most remote insult 1t is
our duty to express public thanks to these bre-
thren, as to them we are indebted for every late
happy success over the common enemy in Canada.

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE TO BE EXTENDED TO NEGRoEs.-

up his resolution proposing to amend the consttu-

Mr. Wager proposed to amend SO as to include all
citizens, male or female, black or white.
Mr.. G. P johnson moved the previous question.
Mr.. O'Keefe moved to lay the motion for the pre-.
vious question on the table.
The speaker ruled the motion out of order.
Mr.. O'Keefe appealed from this decision, and call
ed for the ayes and noes Not orderedl
The decision of the chair was sustained, the pre-
vious question ordered, and the question put on the
proposed amendment of the constitution was adopt

CoNcHA's ARREST OF DIR. PEck.-The news of the
arrest of DR.. Peck New York dentist in Cuba, who
went there for his health and practicng his pro-
fession when seized thought to be creating no lit
tie excitement to-day in official circles here. Unless
we ore greatly mistaken, our Government is firmly
the'of belief that DR.. Peck had in way whatever
compromised himselfin the affairs of the island The
fact that up to the departure Of the last mail from
Havana, Concha had refused to give any explanation
whatever of the of this arrest of
to increase the excitement here. Concha, indeed,
seems bent on loading on the camel's back of Amer
lean patience the feather which is to break it; and
with it, our present relations with Spain.
We have letter from Havana by this last arrival
which intimates that the American engineers en-
ployed in Cuba, who are quite numerous, prepar.
of arrest to which they are subject simply because
they are Americans. Their withdrawal will be . Sc
rous injury to the business interests of the island

FOR CONGRESS:

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.
OF WAKE COUNTY.

THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.
The Convention to nominate a candidate for
Congress in this District met at Franklinton
Wednesday last, and adjourned sine die on Thurs
day. That venerable patriot and consistent DEM
ocrat, Gen. Joseph Allison, Of Orange, presided.
One hundred and thirteen delegates were in at
tendance.
The Convention, in balotng for candidate,
adopted the popular vote as the basis of represen-
tation each County casting the number Of votes
given in August last for Gov. Bragg, and major
ity of the delegation deciding for whom the vote
should be cast
Messrs. A. w. Venable, Jones of Orange, Ar
of Johnston, and Thompson of Wake, were voted
for; and on the fourth ballot, GEORGE ".
THOMPSON, of Wake, having received two
thirds Of all the votes cast, was declared the choice
of the Convention and the nomination was then
made unanimous amid much enthusiasm Gentle
men from the different Counties then addressed
the Convention, pledging their cordial suppor; and
that of their friends to the nominee and the Con-
vention adjourned in the most harmonious spirit,
all the members being animated by the best feel
ing and by determination tc elect the nominee
by a triumphant majority.
GEORGE w. THOMPSON is not unknown to the
people of the District. He has served Wake
County repeatedly in the State Senate, having
been elected in 1914, 1916, and ls4s and he is,
in all probability, the most popular man in the
County. He is candid, straightforward, honora-
Bile man-an independent farmer, with no thirst
for office, and no ambition but such as should an
innate virtuous citizen-that of being useful in
his day and generatioa-when called, as he has
thus been, to the performance Of public duty. We
know him to be reliable both as man and as a
Democrats staunch friend of the administration,
and the uncompromising opponent Of Know Moth
ingism. We know him. too-for we have heard
him often, and with pleasure-to be one of the
abest and most impressive public speakers in the
District.
The proceedings Of the Convention shall appear
in our next and our Associate, Mr. Wilson, who
was in attendance, will doubtless furnish read
ers with full and interesting account of what was
said aud done.

The times are truly out of joint somewhere
While the most cruel, unmanly, and anti-Ameircan

ton. We make this statement as matter Of JUS

The GREAT MEN OF GREAT CoUNTRY.-A young
American exchange sums up our human greatness
as follows:
"The greatest man, take him all in all, of the last
hundred years, was Gen. George Washngton-an
American. The greatest Doctor of Divinity was
Jonathan Edwards-an American. The greatest
philosopher was Benz. Franklin-an American. The
greatest of living historians is VIM. H. Prescott-an
American. The greatest ornithologist was John
James Audubon-an American. There has been no
English writer of the present age whose works have
been marked with more refinement or more grace
than those of Washington Irving-an American.
The greatest photographer since the time of johnson
was Noah Webster-an American. The inventors
whose works have been productive Of the greatest
amount of benefit to mankind in the last century,
were Godfrey, Fitch, Fulton and Whitney-all
Americans. And the greatest humb~s of this or
years, is p. T. Barnum-also an American.
