OUR REPRESENTATIVES, Who is bold
enough to deny that new light has broken
upon the 10Th century, and that this is an
age of progress and advancement in all the
elements of moral and intellectual great
ness Old Warren, so long and justly
honored for its social refnem ant and intel
ligence, repres ented in the Legislature of
North Caro- lima IF we should be so unfor-
tunate as to have Legislature by three
mulattoes, totally Ignorant and utterly in
competent for any position whatever. The
seats of Macon, Edwards and Eaton filed
by LYMAN, Cawthorn and Die Falkner. 1t
would be laughable, if it were not such a
serious matter.
Shall this state of affairs continue p
Shall this monstrous iniquity be forced up
on an honest and intelligent people ? We
answer no Even if the Constitution is
ratified, there is remedy for the evil and
we will apply it. The remedy is peacea
BILE ore. We counsel no improper meas
ures We can manage the whole matter
peaceably and lawfully. We can do it de-
spite Congress or Scalawags. The issue is
made. We know the argument and we
will use it. We regret that we have been
placed in our present condition by design

negro but to get his vote, but regrets will
not remedy the evil; other measures must
be resorted to. We sympathise with the
colored people and wish them we'll. We
are willing to treat them Justly, but we
cannot consent to be ruled by them.

Communicable greatest change in
any community was effected at this box in
CASTOR county, by JAS W. Duncan, Esq,
of Charlotte. On Tuesday he addressed
the voters after they had assembled to vote
and so great an effect had his powerful ar
gument that all voted the Conservative
ticket but three. Before his speech the
box was Radical by large majority. Mr.
D. is gentleman of education, of enlarged
views and of great argumentatlve powers
and his speeches, wherever made, did &
vast deal of good. He is one of our mos
effective speakers, and we hope to have
the benefit of his talents in the approach
ing Presidential election.
