HON. n. BARNlyRLn nrIErr.

We notice by the telegram that Hon. II. B.
RnErF is now in Washington for the purpose
of examining tho public archives for informa-
tion to be used in history Of the late civil
difficulties which ho purposes to write, +
Telegraphic news is not always rclinble, but
we sincerely hope that this is true. ,,,.,
Whatever may be or may have been our diff
fercnces Of opinion on public matters with
this distinguished man, NO one can. recognise
more fully thun We do his great ability, tho
purity Of his private character the singular
and tenacious consistency of his public life,
md the fact TINT he is pre- -emincnty the repre-
sentative Of n school OF statesmen whose creed
and influence have indeed passed away, but
who must always, occupy large and enduring
place in the political history Of The country.
From his early manhood Mr.. RHETr has becn
one Of the influences of the State, and he hos
always enjoyed the full confidence Of his con-
stituents. His long personal experience, his
Intimacy with all the great political lenders Of
the last forty years, his active md ardent par
ticipation in NIL tho great events of our political
history, tho energy and pertinacity of his con.
|victions, and the fact that hc has survived most
of his famous cotemporaries, will give both im:
porlancc and interest 10 his history of the
past.
NJ. RnETT has lived to see the utter ex-
tinction of the Constitution and tho civilization
un'cr which were nurtured his warmest attec-
tions and his most earnest convictions. For
him The active strife of life is over, and Ilo can
do no better service TO those who are 10 come
aftor him than 10 place upon lasting record
his rccollections of his political life. has
II is moro thun likely that The young and
earnest men who are growing up ID bo the
thinkers and actors of another nnd very differ
ent generation, will not read his history in the
same light by which he will write, butjthey
will turn TO it with the assurance that they
will find in its pages honest convictions, i'm
Porlant truth, rich and varied inform ntion;
and, aboyn oil, devoted love to that State
whom in their day we hope they will serve
with equal fidelity, ability and honor.

SPEECH OF MIR. spnAKEn co1r.x

VIC do not generally think it worth while tc
call The attention of our readers to tho speeches
of Northern politicians; for we think il makes
very little difference to us what il.ey do sny.
Tho duty which lies before us will scarcely be
lightcncd by their opinions. From mono OF
them have we received any help, and from mono
OF them do we expect any sympathy. u.
But Mr.. CoLFAS occupies position in which
the expression Of opinion is something more
significant than o Nero individuals, and We all
recoliect that his speech mado in Washington
just before tho opening of tho Thirty-ninth
Congress was faithfully indicative Of the course
pursued by: tho Republican parLy, during the
next two years. 5.f3:i 4. M. .7a

Grand Republican Triumph in n. c.
A Large Majority of Republican Dele
gates Chosen to the Convention!
The State Republican by $4,000!
LOYAL MEN MUST RULE =
BETTER TIMES AHEAD FOR ALL |!

The people of North-Carolina voted on
Tuesday and Wednesday last for and against
a Convention, and for one hundred and
twenty delegates to Convention, under the
reconstruction acts of Congress. The enc
mics of reconstruction, led by their ablest
men, and having control of the State, the
County, and the Town governments, and of
three-fourths OF the press of the State, fought
with the utmost desperation, and pandered
to every passion and prejudice, and persua-
ded, and denounced in every conceivable
way to defeat the Republicans; but the lat
ter, relying on Truth and Justice, and stim-
ulated by noble love of Liberty, have
achievd a gloriously overwhelming victory.
We have no time to-day to review the
campaign, or enter into the details of the
struggle. 1t is sufficient to state that it is
considered certain that the Republicans
have carried EIGHTY of the one hundred
and twenty members of the Convention, and
that the people have voted by FIFTY
THOUSAND majority for Convention.
Fellow-c citizens you have looked with
pride at the game Fowl of Liberty at the
head of this column. Behold now, as typi-
cal of the condition of the poor Conserva-
tives, so-called, the dead Fowl of the Re-
bellionl

The white men are deserting the Union
Leagues in the western counties as rats de-
sert a burning barn. A most gratifying re-
action in this respect is going on in that Sec
tion, and very soon it will be difficult to find a
man who will ronfess that he ever belonged
to one.-WM. Star.
What whopper! The Leagues were
never in a more fourishing condition than
they are at present in the Western part of
this State. We think it is about time the
Rebels had ceased talking about the "reac-
ton" There will be no reaction" hereat-
ter save for Liberty and Union.

Every fire-tried white Republican in the
State feels grateful to tbe colored people for
the firmness and unanimity with which they
have stood by the Republi can cause Our
colored friends have shown themselves wor-
thy, not only by the remark able propriety of
their behaviour in the CAM paign and at the
election, bat they have demonstrated to the
world that they are posse :sed in high de-
gree of that chief requisite to manhood and
citizenship, to wit frmn-ss and determina-
ton of character. No people in any civil
contest have ever met and overcome greater
temptations than they have. They have
been equally unmoved by artifce, trickery,
falsehood, persuasion, offered brides and
threats. They are pooI and landless, but the
rich eigarehs could not succeed in buying
more than one of theI in ten thousand.-
They have preferred the jewel of liberty to
every thing else s.
Without the aid of the colored voters it
would have been ilnr rossible to reconstruct
the government on 1oyal basis; and with
out that aid, every fire tried Unionist in this
State would have been this day under the
iron heel of merciless Rebel power Let our
white Republican friends remember this, and
let us keep faith to the uttermost with the
loyal eelored people who have given us their
votes, and who would pile up their bodies,
if necessary, as sacred offering to the cause
of Liberty, Union, and political Equality.

The True Basis of Success.

The chief cause of the brilliant victory
just achieved in Craven may be explained
on two very important grounds. s.sre
First, A faithful and consistent adherence
to the plan of reconstruction laid down by
Congress and, the legitimate objects and
purposes of the Republican party.
Second, A full and complete organization
Of the Republican party in every Election
Precinct throughout the County. a,...3g
A good cause, with its friends cooperating
together in proper spirit and with a
mutual good understanding, can scarcely
ever fail to triumph.-Neaobern Republican.
The same is true as to Wake and other
Counties. No party was ever more thor
oughly organized than the Republican party
of Wake. This organization must be
maintained as the surest means of future
success. sr-. s.r.a

The leaven of the Heroes of America
which was formed in this State in 1868, laid
the foundation for the Leagues; and the
Leagues, with the Heroes, have been mainly
instrumental in securing to the Republicans
their glorious victory. Without the Leagues
our success would have been doubtful. No
wonder our opponents were so bitter against
these loyal organizations. Let US continue
to cherish and extend them. We will need
them in future elections Let no true Re
publican abate one jot or little Of interest
in public affairs. The State is not yet re-
constructed. Much work is vet to be DONE
Our new Constitution is still to be ratified;
and we must elect loyal Governor, a loyal
Lieutenant Governor loyal Legislature, and
loyal members of Congress. To do this we
must keep our lamps trimmed and burn
