THE WAR OF RACES.

When the rebel conspirators undertook the
work of 'inAaming the Southern mind and
firing the Southern heart" to take up arms
against the government, they proclaimed
with the most bare faced audacity that the
United States was trampling upon every
right of our people and reducing them to the
condition of slaves. They Ire pursuing the
same policy to-day to effect as nearly as pos
sible the same object. Their journals are
predicting war of races; their politicians
are sedulously intoxicating the same idea, and
all who hate the government are anxiously
looking forward to the time when this con-
tiict is to begin. The wish is father to the
thought. They hope by practising upon the
fears and credulity of the wcak-minded to
establish the firm belief that this war is in
evitable. Not only this, but that the Repub
lican party is responsible. BY this means
they expect to justify the internal designs
which they are connecting. They know that
the Republicans are pledged for the success
of the colored race; they know that Rcpub-
licans every where are urging cordial CO.
operation of the races; they know that white
and colored Republicans are working to-
gether in harmony they know that there
are two white to one colored in North Caro-
lima, and that the Republicans are not idiotic
enough to dream of carrying the State by
" arraylnS the blacks against the whites.
They know further, that nine out of every
ten of the colored voters are Republicans,
and they we'll know that such sober and Or
derby meetings as theirs have been, varying
in numbers from fifty to five thousand, have
never before been witnessed amongst u.s.
They know these facts and are mortified and
chagrined that they are so. They see but
one resource left them, and that is, to put
strife between the whites and the backs
The rebel leaders in North Carolina knOao that
their only saloation lies IN tonaenting discord
between the race, and thus detaching the achite
from the colored Republicans
So long as the United States is a nation,
peace and order will be maintained in these
States. Both the prophecies and the effects
of the rebel agitators are alike to be laugh
ed at. But powerless as they are, is there
not some way to stop their pestilentlal
breathings2 They charge us with incendia-
ism Heaven save the mark Is there no
tribunal to decide who are the g incendia
ries 2" We know who they haze been,' we
suspect it would not be a hard matter to find
the " marks" about them now. We may cry
peace, but there will be no peace until these
evil spirits are rendered utterly incapable of
further mischief. The people expect the
Convention to do its duty. j.

appointing William OlDrook, HChairman,

Gen. Grant and the President.

The report flashed through the country, a
day or two since, that Gen. Grant had pos
lively refused to issuse the order removing
Gen Sheridan, and that he and the Presi-
dent were in conflict. 1t now appears that
the General did not insist on his right as
Chief of the Armies, to arrest the President
in his action, but that he felt it to
be his duty to obey the Constitutional COM
mander-in chief of the army and navy.
| 1t is evident, however, that there is a wide
breach between the two, and that the great
weight of Gen. Grants popularity will be
henceforth steadily cast against the admin
istration.
The Republican press of the North and
West is coming up with enthusiasm to the
support of Gen. Grant. Benefits Herald
supports the President for the present, but in
less than sixty days it will desert him and de-
manl his impeachment.
The indications are that the feeling
against the arrogance of the President and
his usurpatlons of power, is approaching
white heat; and that when Congress meets
in November the most stringent measures,
even including impeachment and removal
from Office, will be adopted. 1t is serious
question whether the outlying States can be
reconstructed and restored to the Union du-
ring the Presidents term of Office, unless he
be removed.
The n. Y. Tribune concludes powerful
article as follows
"Where will this end2 The President
means war. The country must stand and
fight. or be defeated. We believe anything
possible of Mr.. Johnson. His administra-
ton is a record of deception, cunning, dis
loyalty-antagonism to the best interests
OF the country. He has made the admins
tration of Buchanan respectable by showing
degradation to which even Mr.. Buchanan
could not sink. He has betrayed his party;
he has betrayed his friends; he has betrayed
his country. Nothing is left of his admin
istratIon but a few miserable jobbers like
those who hang around him and few
wretched political adventures like Black

cause like Seward, and Randall and Welles,

obligations of friendships; but even this no
longer remains with Mr.. Johnson"

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN MCDOWELL co.

At a meeting of portion of the citizens
of Mcdowell County at Loyal Peak near the
summit Of the Blue Ridge, August 18th,
1867. the following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, The present unsettled con-
dltion of our State in not being restored to
her equal rights as ii member of the Union,
and in view of the disloyal element in our
midst that seeks to rule or ruin. it becomes
all loyal men to meet and hold interchanges
of sound sentiment and principles.
1. I2es0Iced, That we heartily endorse the
action of Congress in its plan of reconstruc-
ton. and we hold it to be the duty of all
good citizens to carry out in good faith the
policy of restoring the Union upon firm
and lasting basis.
2. That the collection of State tax at
this time to support an "ilegal State gov
eminent" is unjust and oppressive to our
impoverished citizens, and we would be
glad that General Sickles would put an end
to it until we could have the State in the
hands of civil officers whose principles will
accord with the general government.
3. That We regard the meeting of the
Legislature at any time before new set of
members are elected, as being out of place
and useless
4. That this County should have all her
truly loyal men enfranchsed, and to that
end, we will unite with other Counties in a
petition to the next Congress to have the
disability removed OF such only as have been
devoted to the flag of the United States
>. That we regard W. W. HOLDEN as an
able advocate of the principles of free gov
eminent and we assure him that his labors
in our behalf are highly appreciated
6. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the North Carolina Standard for pub
LEGATION.
