The goth of MAY.

On the Goth of May, 1175, the people OF
Mecklenburg County declared themselves
absolved from their allegiance to the British
crown. On the 4th of July following, the
Continental Congress, in reahirming and ex-
panding the Mecklenburg resolutions, pro-
claimed that " all men are created equal and
endowed with certain inaienable rights
This was the bread cast upon the waters.-
1t was the seed which has yielded tile equal
ity of American citizenship. The facts of
to-day are the legitimate results of the dec
larscion of '7G. They are mere corallaries
flowing from the main proposition. The
admission Of the Southern States upon the
basis of equal civil and political rights for

PROSPECTS GFA CIVIL WAR;

Mr.. Forsyth, of the. Mobile Register, in his
last letter from Washington, says.
.niy".lAs an observer of the march of. events
at this focus of political sentiment, should
fall short of duty as a faithful chroni nicler,,
did I omit to note the all but universal feel
ing that the revolution now in progress will
culminate in another domestic war-this
time not a sectional, but civil war All
intelligent Democrats have ceased to doubt
that it is the design of the Radical revolu-
tionsts to hold to the power of the Govern
ment under all and any circumstances It
iswith this view that they are so intent
upon driving Mr.. johnson from the Execu-
tiveand placing themselves in full posses
sion of ALI the departments of the Govern
mcnt when the critical hour strike They
will manipulate the votes of the electoral
college to give themselves a majority and
they will force upon the Democrats the fear
full responsibility of inaugufating civil war
to sustain their claims justly9resultlng from
constitutional majority ofthe people If
the Democratic President elect is a man of
weak and nervous character, they expect an
easy victory and acquiescence in their usur-
patton. Hence tile general Democratic par
ty desire to select u lleatleriwho will be equal

Pile to the great emergency The need is for
both statesman and soldier. and probably
the qualities of the latter ina high and stern
degree Willie all essential to open the path
for the exereiselo Of the official ilqualities of
the first. And perhaps, too, if the right
man is in the right piace-sone man of the
Jacksenian temper-the Radicals may be
deferred from the eoUp de force which none
doubt it is their purpose to attempt.ii 1t re-,
mains to be said that have not met the first
Democrat WHO, having measured the danger
and the REL possibility, shesitates to declare
that his mind is made up to the solemn duty
of'meeting the issue as presented, and Of the
inauguratinS, at tlleip6ht of the ba ayonet,
the white President elected by a majority of
thewhitc men of the United States. Upon
the premises being correct, Washington will
be Il very lively place about the fourth of
next March, A civil war would be de-
plorable calamity in this country, where the,
energetic character of the people compels
them to3do with all might whatever they
put tier hands to. And once begun, no
man could forecaste the end. 1t might out
last tlie thirty years German war, or go, until
slaughter survived the recollections OF the
issues and principles upon which it is orig
inally urged But there are worse things
| than war in its utmost sanguinary and de-
structive forms. The freedom of a nation
like this is peerless beyond all sacrifices !;
priceless aboveall earthly boons.a So reason
the anti-Ralicalm men, and in the spirit of the
argument, they declare they have made up
theirminds to act" j3A si. 'a slae -,r

There have been startling Developments
here to-day, which show cdhclusiYely that
there has been a regular conspiracy on the
part of Chief Justice Chase and renegade

candidate against General Grant. Of his
own success he said there could be no doubt.

Grant and COifaX.

The National Republican Convention now
S. Grant and Schuyler Cofax for President
and Vice President of the United States
These nominations will send thrill of JOY
to every loyal heart in the land. Grant is
the nations favorite and chieftain. He has
led the hosts of the Union to glorious tri-
umph over the armies Of the rebellion. In
the days of gloom and darkness, when pat
riots almost despaired of the Republic,
when victory seemed perching upon the
standards of treason, and the heart of the
nation beat in anxiety and doubt, the fate of
America was contided in his hands. The
trust was not misplaced. Rebeldom reeled
beneath his blows from Vicksburg to Rich
mond. The spotted rag of treason went
down before the glorious banner of the
Union until the national flag foated triumph
ant from the dome of every Southern Capt.
tol. Grant is the nations saviour and the
idol of his people. Opposition to his cleo
tion will be as senseless as it will be unavail-
ing Our national hero will not be less sue
cessful in the peaceful contest for the suf-
frages of the people than he has been upon
hundred well fought fields before. Sue
cess is assured. Grant will be the next Pres
ident, if his life is spared to take his seat. g.
Coliax, the candidate for Vice President,
is a worthy associate for his illustrious chief.
Without disparagement to stout-hearted old
Ben Wade or the accomplished Wilson, it is
safe to say that no better selection could
have been made than Shnyer Collax. As ii
scholar, parliamentarian, thorough
statesman and polished gentleman. Mr..
Colfax has no superior. As devoted
friend to the Republican principles of equal
ity before the law, freedom, progress and
civilization, Mr. Collax's record is before the
world, and it is record Of which he may
well he proud. -- -..
With Grant and ColfaX to head the Repub-
lican army, we shall march to certain victory
This victory will secure permanent peace
and safety for the nation. The great ques-
tions which have distracted this country for
so many years will be settled finally and for
ever. Universal, civil and political equality
will be recognized as the foundation stone
of American institutions. Our statesmen,
no longer cramped and confined to fighting
the battles liberty and equal rights at home
will now take wider range The Amer
lean nation will take new point of depar-
ture. With a firm reliance on the people, and
Il trust in that Providence which has hereto
fore guarded and sustained us, we shall
march forward to accomplish it, +'.'

investigation now in progress, on the part

influences brought to bear upon some of the
Republicans who voted to acfuit the Presi-

of the fact that several Republicans had
agreed to so vote as if possible to prevent
conviction on any article, while they each
voted for conviction on some. Thebringing
