of the Comfy alone, and, whereas, it is the
opinion, that many OF the citizens have been
kept away by this understanding:

This is. we believe, the first meeting of
the kind in the State 1t was a Conseryato.
Republican meeting, and we can assure the
people there is no political demagogueism
in it. 1t is no humbug. 1t has for its oh.
ject no higher aim than tie good of the.
country. It asks all who are for the adoption
of the reconstruction acts for their hearty
support. 1t cares not what party you NAV
belong to, so you are for the reconstruction of
our native State on the present plan of Con-
gress-nothing more, nothing less.

In political organization with ramifca-
tions extending throughout the length and
breadth of the land, embracing within its
scope every conceivable variety of views upon
minor subjects, but united by certain great
principles to accomplish common purpose
it is not matter of surprise that some are
to be found who fell the restraints of party
discipline irksome.. 1t always has been So
under this government, and we presume it,
always will continue to be so to the end
As it is in national so too is it in State Or
CARNATIONS. We need not GO beyond this
State for an illustration.
However much we may regret that any
dissatisfaction should exist as to the action.
of the late State Union Republican Conven-
ton, it is one of those incidents in the his
tory of political parties, liable to occur at
any time, and which can never be entirely
guarded against. 1t is nevertheless the duty
of all however, in so far as may be consis-
tently done, to mollify all discordant ele
ments. In the case referred to, as we under
stand the matter, the offence alleged against
the Convention was not one of commission,
but one of omission. 1t is not claimed that
any principle was involved, but it was SIM
ply and solely question of expediency.-
Just about 9S-1OO of the Convention consid-
ereu certain resolutions prcSenIeu OUT Vi
place at the time That was all.
During somewhat extended experience,
we have never known the disaffected in such
cases to gain any good for themselves; they
have occasionally caused the defeat OF
party whose principles they profess to
love.
In this State men who earnestly desire an
early restoration, will sink all mere differ
ence of opinion upon minor subjects, and
unite in one common effort to wipe out
the past and open the way to glorious fu-
ture.
Political parties should never be held re-
sponsible for utterances of individual mem
bers thereof, and generally never are except
by the ignorant, the designing, and political
opponents who do it for effect. The plat
form of party is its charter, its constitu-
ton; and by that it should be Judged
Charles Sumner might rise in his seat In
Congress and favor war with all the
nations of the earth, but until the Re
publican party adopts his views on that
subject it cannot be held responsible for
them. 500 too in the late Convention, men
in the heat of the moment made statements
for which the party should not be held re-
sponsible. When an individual is a candid
ate for office, then is the time to judge of
his individual opinions as hearing upon the
party to which he belongs, and not till then.

teration proposed is not approved,
there is no occasion for the call. To
me, we who concurred in, and most
heartily approved their decision, it was
sublime spectacle in February 1861,
to see the people of North Carolina re-
ject the proposition made by the legis-
lature to call convention to consider
the subject of secession. The presses
and politicians of various shades of
opinion, were, in the confusion and un-
certainty of the times, nearly unani-
nous in favor of the call. But the peo-
pie. seeing the critical condition Of af-
fairs, rejected it by decisive majority;
at the same time taking care to elect
delegates who would represent. their
sentiments, provided the affirmative had
prevailed. Thus two months were gain
ed, before causes, not then anticipated,
and which were regarded when they
occurred as necessity. precipated US
into q war already commenced.
These are some of the views I should
have presented to your meeting, had L
been able to attend. I think the sub
ject has been less considered, by the
people than, from its transcendent inn
portance, it deserves. IN.

or contumacy towards any department
or authority of the government of the
United States, and still more at aiming

A wing from principle, never having
had any other party connection, now
past the meridian of life, will gladly
forego all his interest in party, provided
he can be assured, that he yet has

suffrage which Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York and other great a1d leading
states of the north have refused, and
still do refuse, to establish for themselves,
though with far less cogent reasons
than prevail with US. The constitution
OF Pennsylvania, as reordained in 1888,
regulates suffrage in these words:

years, having resided in this state one
year and In the election district where
he offers to vote ten days Immediately
preceding such election, and within two

days before the election, shall enjoy the
rights of an elector," &c.
That of New York provides that
every male citizen of the age of
twenty one years, &C., shall be entitled
to vote" &c. "But no man of color,
unless he shall have been for three
years citizen of the state and for one
year next preceding every election, shall

JAIL DELIVERY.
Prisoner Rescued by a HOB I

On last Wednesday morning, at about
half past o'clock, Dick Biles. the jailer.
who happened to be up at the tine, having
but few minutes previously admitted to
the house friend who had arrived on the
train from Nashville, was called to the door
by some unknown persons outside. BsfOre
opening, Mr.. Biles inquired who they
we're. They represented themselves as Of
fcers from Lawrence county, having in
charge prisoner who had previously es-
cap-d from this Jail. The door was then
opened, when several persons il masque,
with presented pistols, laid violent hands
upon Mr.. Biles, and demanded the key to
cell no. 2. The Jailor protested against
any such procedure, but the mob threat
ened to shoot him instantly if he did not
comply with their demand. By this time
the ladies of the house were aroused and
eDdeavOred to give the alarm by screaming.
and Miss Addie, sister to the iailor, made
an effort to get out at the back door in or
der that she might arouse some of the neigh
boris. She was promptly met at the door
BY an armed sentinel on the outside and or
dered back. Subsequently a pistol was
pointed at her head and she ordered to
cease her screams or she would be shot. In
the meantime the key bad been obtained,
and the party proceeded to cell no. 2, con-
tanning S. L. (Onny) Richardson, who was
under indictment for the murder of Mr..
Cannon several months ago. unlocked the
door, and the prisoner was set at liberty
The whole party, including Richardson,
then hurried off, and no clue has yet been
obtained as to the whereabouts of the pris-
oner or to the identity of bis liberators.
The whole party, numbering six or eight,
was thoroughly masqued, and from the ia
miliar manner in which they addressed the
occupants of the house, we should Judge
that they came from no great distance.
In this matter we think no blame can, or
will be, attached to Mr.. Biles. He was de-
ceived into admitting them by plausible
tale, and after they were admitted he was
completely overpowered. and could not do
otherwise than yield to their superior num-
bers and leveled pistols.
The mob seemed to have no other OBJ
ject than that which was accomplished, as
they seemed to have no desire to relieve the
other prisoners, and turned a deaf ear to
the piteous suPPlications of the one who
was confined in the cell with Richardsoro

Horse Thieves.

The boldness and energy with which
horse thieves ply their avocatOn in this Sec
ton is really alarming to owners of valua-
ble stock. Every few days we hear Of
some citizen losing horse or mule. Mr..
Pink May. residing two miles from town
on the Columbia pike, had a good horse
stolen one night last week. The thief, to-
gether with the horse, was captured at
Franklin subsequently, aud Mr.. May re-
covered his property.
On last Thursday night. Mr.. Jackson,
near Boon's Hill, was relieved of couple
of mules and a horse.
Sunday night last, some unknown pro-
fessiOnal confscated couple of mules Ee-
longing to Mr.. Tyce, who resides two
miles east of town. Thief or mules not
yet heard from.
Many believe that there is regularly or
ganized gang of these scoundrels in our
midst, and no farmer retires at night with
any assurance that he win wake up in the
morning the POssessOr of a single horse or
mule. Look we'll to your stables.
