are being transported over the road, which
but for Mr.. Caldwel's management would
not have been in condition to carry it; when
all these things conspire to enable Col. Tate
TO pay expenses and lay up something be-
sides, then pious Mr.. Pel rolls his eyes
Heavenwards, and with a holy JUNCTION ejac-
ulates, "All praise, glory, honor, power and
dominion be ascribed, as is most justly due, to
Col. S. Med. Tate, President of the Western
North Carolina Rail Road" for he has paid
all expenses incurred during the gear, and
has made besides the immense sum of eight
thousand screen hundred and thirty-seoen dol
lars and sirty-one cents!! If we have been
correctly informed this nett earning of the
road for the last twelve months amounts to
but little, if any more than what pious Mr..
Pelps particular friend and especial pet
made for himself in one little speculation
while on one of his business trips North as
President of the Road. We care nothing
for the sickening fattery which pious Mr..
Pell periodically lavishes upon his ex-Con-
federate Colonel. We think we understand
his motives, but we do feel indignant when
we see an unoffending citizen wantonly as
sailed and slandered, only because he dares
to differ in political opinion with pious Mr..
Pell.
We are gratified at every forward step that
is made in the great work of internal i'm
provements. The mountain regions OF this
State, most favored by nature, must be
opened and penetrated by railroads. This
newspaper has been devoted for twenty years
to this work and it is our purpose in flu
ture to put forth every exertion, through this
journal and otherwise, to secure for the Wes-
tern people the advantages of railway COM
munication. The great Republican party,
into whose hands the State IS soon to pass
permanently, may be relied upon to do every
thing that can or should be done in the way
of internal Improvements. 1t is the party
of railroads, churches and school houses ::
and under its beneficent auspices the Wes-
tern portion of North Carolina will "blos-
som like the rose"

Tennessee---Gov. Brownlow's Majority.
The Republicans of Knoxville had meet
ing of grand rejoicings on the night of the
Sd. Speeches were made by Gov. Brown
low, Mr.. Maynard and Others. Gov. Brown
Town said his majority in the State was over
5000, and that everything in the State was
radical. When the rebels were buried he
wanted them buried in collins with both
ends open, that when the devil went in they
could 60 out
The dispatch adds:
"The result of this overwhelming victory
will be a great change in the State policy OF
the franchise law In conversation to-day,
with prominent citizen, Gov. BrownloW
made the remarkable assertion, that in his
first message to the Legislature, he would
recommend that every male citizen over u
years old be allowed to vote. This would
open the door to all DISTINGUISHED. Some
such new policy as this will result from tnls
great victory"

JEFFERSON DAVIS IN VERMoNT.-A Bos-
ton paper gives the following account of the
recent visit of Mr.. Davis to Vermont
jeff Davis visited Stanstead last week,
and was the guest of NJ. T. Lee Terrill-
Frederick Terrill, Esq, brought him from
Sherbrooku there, in a very quiet manner, on
Wednesday last, professedly to see the coun-
try and to consult in regard to an investment
in the gold mines of Hatley. On Thursday,
as we learn from the Newport (Vt.) Express,
Mr. errill, in his best tournout, took jeff
about the village 10 ride, when several Incl
dents occurred not altogether pleasing, we
should imagine, to either the host or his
guest. Not only boys but men hooted at
him in the street, and greeted him with
those familiar words, Well hang jeff
Davis to a sour apple tree He was frequent
ly asked where he had left his 'petticoats,'
and more various like remarks more sug-
gestiye than pleasing everywherere fell upon
his ear. One lady, stung by the recollec-
ton Of the suffering and death of near re-
lative at Andersonville, gave utterance to
her feelings by burling stone at him. Per-
mission was asked that jeff might ride
about the grounds of Mr.. Carlos Pierce, and
take look at his noted herds, but the re-
quest was emphatically denied by Mr.. Hen
ry Pierce, in charge of the premises, who
declared, in unmistakable language, that in
no event could jeff. Davis be admit ted to
these grounds

We copy to-day and put on record, an ar
ticle from the Sentinel, in which that paper
define its position in relation to reconstruc-
| ton
The Sentinel would "deplore, as great
calamity" the failure of the whites to regis
| ter, but but it takes no account of the color
ed people, All the false promises and hon
led words of that paper having failed to in
f1uence the colored people, the Sentinel yields
them in despair to the Republican party
This is a fair and final confession on the
part of that paper that the colored vote will
be cast unanimously against the disunion
faction.
The disunion organ has faint hopes that
the State will be reconstructed on the basis
of the Congressional enactments; but it
| of seceders and ofice-holders in this State,
and gives notice that if the loyalists who
will control the Convention do not make
| such Constitution, the disunion forces will
kill it " at the polls. Well, suppose they
should kill it? The Constitution will GER
tainly be Republican in character, thoroughly
| imbued with the liberal spirit of the times.
1t will most probably be what the Sentinel
would call radical. 1t will go to the root of
things 1t will pluck out from our soil the
last vestiges of secession and human slavery,
and will so plant and water the tree of lib
erty as to ensure for it vigorous and per-
petual growth. The Sentinel and its parti-
zans will kill it" if they can. In the first
place, they can not "kill it." In the second
place. if they should, Congress wilt most
probably disregard their votes against it,
and accept it. And in the third place, if
the Constitution should be rejected, and the
State should fail to be restored under the
present acts, confseation scould certainly fol-
lo,o Are the disunionists, under the lead of
the Sentinel and Gov. Worth, determined to
complete the ruin of this people9

REpURJJCAN MEETING In RANDOLPH.

At Union Republican meeting held in
the Court house, IN ASHORE, in Randolph
On motion, Joseph Reading, white, was
called to the Chair; VIM. Mccain, colored,
was appointed Vice President and Penuel
Hendricks was requested to act as Secretary.
On motion, Joel Ashworth, A. A. Steed,
and F. G. Robbins, white, and VIM. Lythe,
and Albert Hoover, colored, were appointed
Committee to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting, who retired for
a short time, and while absent, speeches were
delivered by B. B. Bulla, q. F. Rush, whites,
and Martin " B. Gray, colored.
The Committee returned and reported
through their Chairman, Joel Ashworth, the
following preamble and resolutions as fol-
lows, to wit:
WHEREAS, 1t has ever been the privilege
of loyal citizens of the government OF the
United States of America to assemble and
discuss the best means for the prosperity OF
those sacred institutions handed down to us
by our forefathers; and whereas, the Con-
gress of the United States has passed bills
for the better government of the late Rebel
States; and whereas it is the duty of every
lawful citizen to render cheerful obedience
thereto; be it
1. Resoloed, That we accept heartily and
Tic pIOpOSel ny
and pledge ourselves to do all in our power
for their adoption.
2. That we recognize the Republican par
ty as the only and true party of the Country;
the party that crushed out the rebellion and
preserved the Union, and that we will sup
port no man for office who does not stand
fairly and squarely upon the Republican
platform.
3. That we endorse the platform adopted
by the Republican Convention held in Raj
eigh on the 9th of march, 1867.
L. That we heartily approve of the manly
and prompt action of Genl. Sickles tor pre-
serving law and order in District No 2, and
for removing from office persons evilly dispo
sed to the government of the United States.
5. That the course pursued by the North
Carolina Standard in defence of the Union
and the Republican party meets our hearty
approval, and we hereby tender to its Edi-
tors our sincere thanks
g. That as most of the offices of this State
are in the hands of men who are opposed to
the reconstruction bill passed by Congress,
we therefore earnestly petition Genl. Sickles
to remove all such from Office, especially,
such as are using their influence against re-
construction, as we think it unjust for the
loyal men to be taxed to support disloyal of
flee holders.
T. That we consider the approaching con-
stitutional Convention as the most impor-
tant political event ever known to the histo-
nv of North Carolina, and that we would
most earnestly urge upon every citizen
agreeing with US in sentiment the Importance
without fail of having his name registered.
8. That copy of these proceedings be
sent to the STANDARD for publication, and
other Republican papers be requested to
copy.
