Hhe Richmond "Enquirer'' has recent
" devoted two long articles 10 us, in
which IL has done US great injustice. We
do not propose to-day to reply at any
length to the Enquirer" as our space
is occupied by subjects which require
more immediate attention.
The Enquirer" labors through two
columns in reply 10 our article on the
18th November, but il by no means meets
the points we made in that article. Il
admits, both by its silence In regard TO
our statements on the subject, and its
unfounded charge that the Conservatives
OF this State are solely influenced by the
love OF office, the fact that the admins
tration Of Mr.. Davis is strictly partisan
IN its character, and that he is welding
for faction a great government, which
ought 10 be administered by and for the
whole people. The "beef" Patrick Hen.
ry incident, which the Enquirer intro
duces for the purpose Of showing that
the great mass of the people of North
carolina are influenced by their regard
for the spoils, is alike stale and inappro-
PIRATE; but it amounts TO the admission
that the enquirer" and its faction are in
possession of the "beef" which they in
tend to retain az all hazards. They Ia |

Hence they are DeSt,Uctives, and those
who oppose them, and who would save
the new government, as they desired 10
save the old, are Conservatives.
We tell the Enquirer" that we still

We hear great deal on this subject

This comes for The most part from gentlemen

The Richmond Enquirer makes a
laundering, but most unsuccessful effort
o refute these facts. The testimony is
overwhelming that the Southern leaders !
ebelled, not because the people were
but because they had been
efeated in fair constitutional election,
nd they could not brook the thought
hat cotton aristocrats should obey the
reat Democracy Of the United States.
