as matter personal to myself, that while good
reasons can be given for the adoption of this
plan Of secrecy lit was never agree ible to me;
and further, may say, that though was not
able for some time to announce the fact of nv
connection with it, never availed self of any
evasion to conceal it. That party at no distant
day would prevail The great heart of the peo-
ple was fully touched and fully aroused. Il
had proved its faith in the doctrines Of that par

would be found standing on the platform of con-

The girl r1uctantly came forth, and burst into
tears. The pretended mother also wept copi-
ously, and at the same time whispered. ssIf You
don't come we will kill you" After telling a
good many inconsistent stories, and pro ,ucing
some paper documents, they got the child in th

In the mean tins, Capt. Gray was notified oil
the afflir. Tue citizens g lthared about the We.
hicla, and the poor child was released The MAI
acknowledged he had no authority to take the
child, and the woman bIarnied in real Jesuitical
style, and then both departed. There was, at
one time, strong symptoms OF Judge Lynch being
about, and it was only the polite consideration
of our people for the femlle, which, saved hsr
companion from being treated to cold blth In
the East Fork.

But il is alleged that it is Wing trick
gotten up TO injure the Democracy. Such
arguments are the usual resorts Of weak
men, who when reason fails attempt TO en-
list prejudice in their behalf. The head Of
the Order is an old fastened Jackson Dem
ocrat. Wherever they have nominated
candidates they have taken the larger num-
Der from the Democratic ranks. Judge
Cone of Georgia, who reported the Platform
adopted at Philadelphia, is an old line Dem
ocrat. He was a member of the Baltimore
Convention in 1874 that nominated Mr..
Polk, and reported the resolutions adopted
by tina. body as the principles of the Demo-
cratic party. How Stands the case on the
other side? Mr.. Wise confessedly owes
his election 10 the Wings. Messrs Toombs
and Stephens, Wing leaders in Georgia,
are at the head of the Anti American Party,
and so with Mr.. Preston in Kentucky
Every where you find Wing leaders among
the bnterest opponents of American princi,
pies, and if it is a Wing trick they have
been long time finding it out.

We we're most ogreeably surprised to see
the large number OF ''sovereigns" who came
to town last Monday for the purpose ofsee-
ing SAM. This is the busiest time with the
farmer, and there had already been two
public gatherings within the week past,
and we feared there were but few who
could afford to lose three days from their
harvest. In addition to this, the weather
was very unfavorable, and during the great
err portion of the morning, it bore every in
dicaton of rain. Notwithstanding these
drawbacks. large and respectful portion
of the patriotic and Union loving citizens Of
Randolph were in waiting at the appointed
time, ready and anxious TO have sight at
this mysterious, but much admired, person
age. His Platform had been before the in
telligent people for two successive weeks
they carried it with them 10 their homes,
and thel cfore had ample opportunity TO give
its national and patriotic provisions a
thorough and unbiased examination at their
leisure. The fact, then, that it had made
so many warm fricnds-and that too, with
out the aid of political trickery-eXhibits in
striking manner that deep attachment to
the Union that yet reigns supreme in the
hearts of the great mass of the People. We
have unlimited confidence i'll the sound sense
discretion and patriotism of the people a
large, and the result Of Mondays proceed.
ings was but the Guliilment Of our previou,
confident anticipation. We have simply &c
say that the Platform was unanimously adop
