of death, upon the wickedness of human
malice, and on yesterday morning. Just Gf-

Jugs on the occasioD). Radical member,
Yankee Cook, from Johnston, actually
proclaimed that there would be caucus
of the Radical party at O'Clock that
evening y
The caucus uas held last night. 1t is
understood that it was convened for the
purpose of consultation on the militia
question. Of course [ am unable to say
what were the conclusions arrived at, II
any, but the rumor prevails that Welker's
infamous scheme is to be slightly modified,
so as to relieve it of some of its erpensloe-

nostication; [ hope that am, but predict
that these crazy, blind and fanatlcal ma
Ilignants will mature and adopt Force
Bill" which will set the whole State by
the ears and involve our people IN strife
and boodshed. Their fendish hate for tie
decent white portion of society surpasses
the rabies of a mad dog Is it not mar

few others whom aciN name, if they don t
mind their P's and Q's,) consorting with
these creatures, and actually soldering

to sneak back into the good opinion of
those whose contempt and detestation they
have incurred by their apostacy to princi-
pie, race and county.
| As above intimated, the Municipal Bill
for negroizing our towns and cities is a
law. So, also, is the equally shameful and
unconstitutional "act to provide for filling
vacancies in county Offices, and the third
in the triumvirate of infamy, viz the bill
to provide for the filling of vacancies &C.

VII of the Constitution. The first of these

is banned by the Howard Amendment, and

and the third gives the same man power to
fill vacancies on the Boards of County
Commissioners, &c. So that you will per-

Blownlow is invested with dictatorial and
despotic powers-powers which he will use
to the humiliation and degradation of the
race which he hates, because it E1aO1CS him
and refused to elevate him to station,
political and social, for which, IS the

will not be permitted to take his seat in

The vicinity Of the Marlborough House
was the scene of some excitement on yes
terday, growing out of an attempt on the
part of James IL. Harris, the aspiring Mig
ger member for Wake county, to create 9
disturbance with the Proprietor, who had
o few minutes before, elected him from his
premises on account of his noisy and tnrbu
