The Presidents Friends.

At the close of the war, party of broken down
politicians, the leaders for the most part having
been repudiated at the balot-box by the people of
North Carolina endeavored by protesting pecul-
lar and special loyalty and claiming to be, par
excellence the friends of the President in the midst
of the general fear and CONSERVATION attending
the overthrow of the armies of the Confederacy,
and the entire subversion of the State Government
to grasp political power, which had been denied
them in more deliberate moments, and when the
privileges of voting had been unrestricted by pro-
carnations of the Federal Executive and the fear
of the bayonet Through an unfortunate appoint
ment by the President of Provisional Governor
land terrible responsibility rests upon those who
made the recommendation for which the people
of the State will yet hold them accountable, they
were partially successful and needed only the re-
election of their candidate for Governor to COM
plete their triumph.
A Convention, little less radical than Congress
ITSELF elected under the order of partial dlsfran-
chisement recorded in its legislation the DEGREES
of the President and the wishes of the Pro! ision
al Governor; the first, in his honest desire to re-
store State relations with the
other States and continually and entirely occu-
pied by the cares of @ disorganized Government,
saw not that the latter using the very troubles
desired to be quoted, for purposes of personal
and political advancement. True to their instincts
and in order to reward the faithful, every Office,
judicial and executive was declared by this Con
vention to be vacant and elections ordered to fill
them.
The people by most decisive vote and under
extraordinary influences, placed the seal of their
disapprobation upon this political knavery by de-
featng the chief plotter and foremost partizan,
and had they not been deceived in their represen-
tatives,, the State would not have been Inundated
by the scene which transpired when the creden-
tials of John Pool were presented in the United

The Fail Elections at the North.

Beyond doubt the South should now turn her
attention to industry and economy rather than to
questions of politics. 1t is probable that too
much attention to politics and too little to indus
trial pursuits in the South has been her CURSE
The recent conflict between the sections has proved
that fundamental principles of government and
political rights are but abstrect therorles that Will
not settle disputes or win battles in the face OF
material wealth and strength. What the South
now desires most is to avail herself of this lesson
taught her by the war. But in order to secure
capital without which shattered estates can,
not be rebuilt, there must be security and conf
dence felt in the permanency OF peace, and this
can only be accomplished by reconciliation and
restoration on an honorable basis. Capital is
timid and industry easily discouraged, and In Of
der to successfully invite the and develope the
other. the political agitation which gave birth to
the military struggle, but which unfortunately did
not die with it, must have favorable solution.
The South, therefore, has more than mere po-
tical interest in the congressional elections to be
held this Fall While the North is to be the bat
tie field of the great political struggles, the South
is to derive the greatest benefit, should the con-
seryatiyes be successful. desire to achieve sue

Influence some but with US, the defeat of the
Radicals is a necessity upon which our prosperity
depends We will, then, watch the result of their
elections with closest attention and deepest inter-
| est.
| With the adjournment of the Philadelphia Con-
vention the campaign i'm the Northern States may
be said to have opened. Already conventions and
mass meetings are advertised to assemble in order
to ratify it's proceedings and put forth candidates.
In some States the nominations have already been
made, and in Indiana and Illinois the campaign
has opened with an intensity almost unequalled,
and preparations have been made for carrying it
out to the end with a vigor unsurpassed The
contest will very open everywhere in the
Northern States and the opposing principles of
Uaionisna and Rodicazisns will range themselves for
a struggle as N on entous any the country has
ever witnessed.
AS matter of much interest the New York
Herald has prepared with great care the vote in
every district for members of Congress in 1864,
and we find much in this exhibit which givesus
enlargement in the ensuing campaign. In twenty
two districts the Radical maorities less than
thousand each, and in eighteen others, the ma
iorities were less than two thousand. In three
districts, now represented by Radicals. the oppo-

successful candidate, but lost on account of
division. In some ten or fifteen more the ma ori
ties ranged below twenty-five hundred
When it is taken into consideration that at that
election the war was rapidly eliminating in Fed
eral success, and the very stubbornness and des-
peration Of the Confederate troops serving only
to turn success into vindictiveness, this list of
votes presents most hopeful prospect Then,
the war, its incidents and necessities fully en-
crossed the people, and the election turned only
on this issue. But now it is different. The South
is as determined to-day to re-enter the Union as
she was then DESTROYS of separating from it, and
those who owed their success to their warm pro-
testations of love for the Union are attempt
ing to accomplish by legislation what the South
failed to do with arms The people of the North
themselves, are becoming alarmed at the progress
of the political revolution, and the Administra-
ton is using its power to check its headlong
course.
We have much reason, therefore, to hope that
most, if not all these ma orities will be overcome,
and that in others the result was owing to
the excitement of the war than to mature decision,
and that the return of peace will disclose conse
quent revulsion of feeling towards the conquered
that will be recorded this Fall in favor of the
cancellation of the sections and the prosperity and
glory of the country.
