York Times
The New York Times copies our remarks
in regard to the nomination of Judge
CHASE and its influence at the South cor
rectly, but in giving the JOURNAL credit
Tor saying that "The Conservatives who
will vote for the Democratic nominee, will
vote with their friends rather than for the
Candidates" does us great injustice, as we'll
az any class of our citizens who may be
designated as Conservatives. If the
word "negroes be substituted for ''Cor-
servatiyes," then the sentence would be
correct. We were attempting to show that
the no mination of Judge CHASE would not,
of itself, secure the negro vote because he
had long been regarded as their fast friend,
but that his nomination by the Democratic
party would bring to the support OF their
ticket no negro voters, except such as were
induced to do so by the personal influence
of the white people of the South.
So far as North Carolina is concerned,
there is no difference between Democrats
and Conservatives Our white people are
almost unanimously opposed to Radicalism,
whether as Democrats or Conservatives,
and will support the nominees of the Ma
tional Convention with a unanimity never
before known in the history of party poll
tics. We are too much in earnest and our
too great and our dangers too
appalling to divide upon names or individ-
uals. We care not what section or State
furnishes the candidates; the financial
policy of the platform cannot increase our
or cool our ardor ; the division
of the spoils has no charms for US ; we de-
mand only just and constitutional recon
struct1on of the Union we ask for an
honorable equality among sister States ;
we struggle to preserve our constitutional
rights we desire to secure the liberty of
our oppressed people. These aims are be-
yond mere party names and personal pre-
ferences. Holier purposes never united
people; more vital objects never moved
them to action.
We know full we'll that under no other
banner than the National Democratic
can we achieve success, and that
without the aid of that party we are pow
erless-so that, at least, we sink our State
Conser vatism into National Democracy,
and will support its candidates, whoever
they may be, with as much good viii as we
ever did our party fayorites in years gone
by. Democrats and Wings, Sece ssionists
and Unionists, are alike enlisted in the
good fight, and those who calculate upon
a united vote for GRANT and COLLAR in the
Southern States, if we are permitted to
vote, are most certainly counting without
their host. We do not think we venture
much in predicting that majority of the
electoral vote of the ten States, at present
excluded from the Union, will be cast for
the Democratic candidates. Mark our pre-
diction
