ECoNoMY.-Our readers will bear in
mind that our County Commissioners
get three dollars per day each, fol their
services. talking politics. and the greatest
amount allowed By the law for Township
Trustees who have actual labor aud SER
vice to perform, is one dollar and fifty
cents. At their last sitting, these Off
GERS refused to pay Trustees more than
Sl.25 per day, but, with their own bill, as
with Corbaley's record. they never said
one word about it. Who ever saw great
er exhibition of selfshness than these men
have made Of themselves? If they take
what the law allows them for their servI-
ccs, why are not other officers entitled to
their set price, when their duties are more
ard and the pay only half as much
as these piliful politicians take for their
services? Let honest men answer these
questions for the mselves.

TURNING THE TABLES Our neighbor,
of the Republican, has gotten into rather
bad fix. He pitched into Mr.. Packard,
thinking he had good thing for his party,
but the object of this attack was too appa-
rent, and the Misrepresentation too cor
temptible to receive the sanction of even
the Republicans, and those, too, with
whom Mr.. Packard made the settlement,
FIRST referred to by our neighbor. But.
as soon as they find that they are in equal
ly as bad or worse fix, they want the in
vestigation stopped and those who were at
first the most officious in disappearing
Mr.. Packard, now say they "have given
Matsingly fits for the course he has taken
toward Mr.. Packard" and that che (P. J
was perfectly right" This is what we
would call craw- fishing, and although We
are much younger and less experienced
than our venerable contemporary, vet we
modestly intimate to him that he had bet
ter not go it blind, hereafter, as he has
been in the habit of doing, and has done
IN this Instance. He had better not be
so blinded as to get himself into similar
FIX very often during the campaign. or
the good people Of this county will begin
to think that probably he may be mista-
ken, and what is worse, that he may mis-
represent slightly. We do not charge
anything for our suggestions, and only
give them in return for the kind advice he
gave us in his last issue.

GENERAL WALkER.-We do not care much one way
or the other about Walker or about Nicaragua. We
think the first is crazy. Hess out of bis head. The
idea of his doing anything down in Honduras with some
eighty or hundred men is all folly That of course
AS for Nicaragua, great chance OF that So
called republic coming out 1t has no elements OF
come-out in it. Its people are mongrels hybrids
mixed and degenerated. The men of pure white blood
are the minority. Central America, like Mexico, has
not the people ever to become free respectable No
such race ever has become or never will. We may
talk about pesy domination and all that sort OF thing
1t race and not religion or government that is mainly
at fault in these old colonies of Spain The reason why
the colonies planted by Great Britain have been able to
establish more permanent governments and more pros
porous forms of society than have those planted by
France or Spain, has been that the English coonists
have always made whlte mems goyernments-exciusve-
ly so. Socially and governmentally white men alone
have had any real status influence hence the has,
in the world retained the energy aud stability which
distinguish it in the old. Such has not been the course
of France and Spain. In their colonies the white
has sunk down. become absorbed and out Of their mix
ture with the inferior races has something with
all the vices and few of the virtues of either the Euro
pean OF the nallfe.
So far then Walker is concerned or Central Amer
lea either it makes very little difference But such raids
njure the character of country. They have not
air of responsibility in their wrong They are
almost too feeble and childish for notice They disturb
few fat Senoras less fat Senoritas but the majority
of the poor devils seduced into taking part in them will
never home again. They will die of fever of wounds,
of hunger and in rags. We saw some of the remnants
of men saved from the first Nicaragua affair." and they
were but remnants with constitutions shattered hopes
prostrated they had little to look for but early death
There is little in dysenery. Little glory in
bedbugs-no enjoyment in tropical fever, less fun
starvation and these about the substantial comforts
that Walkers men can reasonably hope for.
1t is time that the truth about these utterly reckless
and foolish affairs openly told and fully understood
Walker is mere circumstances are the saffron
stomached gentlemen of Central America. We speak
nov: in the interest of the OF own county,
Walkers projects have caused the death of some three
thousand white Americans who might otherwise he liv-

public opinion can put stop to it. The force OF
law has failed. 1t ought to be done. We call upon
the press. We appeal to public opinion. Let it be

aalt has always appeared to US, That our good pot

R6rlt has always appeared to us, that our good pol
itcians of the Fourth District, especially those about
Raleigh, have an idea in their heads that the whole
world reyolves around Them and that the Capitol the
hub of the axle and that they themselves are the eoes
or fellows, without which the wheel cannot be kept
moving. Not going farther than the first number of
the National Democrat the Douglas organ started at
Raleigh on the 9Th inst we find article in which it
is asserted that after the return of tie North Carolina
Delegates from Charleston majority of them abored
assiduously to convince the people of the State that
Douglas was the only eligible candidate for the fresl
dency, etc. Now what proof does the Democrat bring
to sustain that assertion Why it refers to the action
of meeting held in the county OF AXE and to the po-
stion there assumed by one Delegate 1t IS not so that
ma ority of the North Carolina Delegation were at
anu time favorable to Mr. Douglas or his Interpretation
of the Cincinnati platform This thing has been assert
ed until peope-some people, at east-think there Is
something in it of course Mr.. Busbee, the Editor OF
the National Democrat so thinks or he would not have
SO stated But the very reverse is the fact This sort
of assertion about Douglas preponderance IN the
Carolina delegation was kept up during the interim be-
tween the adjournment at Charleston and the re-assem-
bling at Baltimore But once took the trouble to
contradict it. We knew the position of ever1 man OF
the delegation, and We know it We S. now, as
we said before that we cherish i'll feelings because OF
any difference of opinion in Convention. We simply
wish facts truly stated and decidedly object to the
action of any local meeting evenf it is held in Raleigh
or the course of any particular Delegate even if be does
reside in Raleigh being quoted as the action of the
State or tie course of majority There were great
men before Agamemnon, and there are several good
Democrats outside of Raleigh.

Hon. WELDON n. EDwARDs.-A paragraph is going
the rounds of the Opposition papers, in which remark
said to have been recently made by Mr. Edwards, at
meeting in Warren county pretty severely anusdver.
ted up The remark attributed to Mr. Edwards, is to
the effect that be preferred the election of Lincoln to
that of Douglas. Now we saw Mr.. Edwards last week
at Raleigh and in reference to this very matter he re-
marked to us, that be had been wholly misunderstood
and out of that misunderstanding had arisen the msrep
resentaon of his views that had gone abroad He had
commented with considerable severity upon the squatter
sovereignty views promulgated by Judge Douglas,
which, in some respects he considered more dangerous
because more insidious than those OF Lincoln He had
not sad-certainly had not intended to say-that he
preferred the election of the latter
