be impressed on the minds of those who
may be in charge ofthe arrangement and
completion of this c~ession, that the St.

and that they expect in turn similar de-
served action, and that no one need be
reminded that representation is the thief

now labor, all unnecessary delays in the

come to, the sooner will the inhabitants
feel that their welfare is being looked

9th, precisely at s o'clock. The Board
appointed to conduct the Poll, consisted

His Excelleucy Chamberlain Christensen,

in the Urn was by Mr.. Jrmes Il. Gomez,
native, proprietor and head Of Il family.
From that time to the closing of the Poll
the tide Of voters continued without
abatement. AT the close, the Polling
stood thus =

Quoted women, children, old, infirm, and
the fuctuating portion (transient) that of
course does not come within the require
ments for qualifying Il voter, it is too evil
dent that a more satisfactory vote, could
not we'll be expected.
The result could not otherwise than
have been satisfactory to every participant
therein, and doubly so to those who ven
turcd to predlc: It's success The majority
for the cessFon Of the Islands is so
overwhelmingly great compared with
those against it, that it admits Of no COM
p~ariSon, whilst the action of the voters on
the blue ticket exhibits a popularity anu
cuoI in RI a generations NJ mon c:,,a -
can iustiiably he said of them, that they
have pleased and served both parties. A
circumstance that it will be OW ned is not
common in voting. The voters have re-
ally conformed to the wishes of His Ma
jesty the King on the one side, and at same
time seasonabIe met the wishes Of the
United States Government on the other.
1t is common to say, that a man, in en-
deavouring to sit at one time, on two
stools, usually falls between. But this
cannot and will not be said of the ST.
Thomas voters, who have in this instance
exhibited the peculiar tact whereby they
have been enabled CONTRARY to the ac-
ceptcd oplnlon) to sit on the two stools,
and to have thereby accomplished feat,
that will without doubt, earn and merit
for them the gratitude of both parties.
The success Of The blue ticket relieves
both contracting parties from an cmbar-
RAISING position, since ii would have been
hard to tell how The Treaty could have
been finally ratified on either side in The
absence of a successful pIebiSritum, the
only modern method by which one people
may now be incorporated with another,
and at same time exempt the contractors
from the odium of having handed over
their citizens or subjects as simply materi-
ais for purchase and sale. 1t is gratifying
to know, that whilst the election naturally
produced a certain amount of excitement
in the minds of the inhabitants Ga goodly
portion of which is naturally unfamiliar
with manhood suffrage) nevertheless order
and goodwill seemed 10 animate every
one, and it may be said that not one in
decent act occurred, although indepen-
dent Of the voters, hundreds of people
were drawn from their homes to witness
what was going on. Music and process

I very much fear he may find himself, after
all his search, III the condition OF certain
changeable religionist, of whom Jim -
used to tell story something like this:-
"You see, gentlemen" Jim would say,
was going home from down street, and
when was passing the old Baptist Church
heard an awful grooming which seemed
to come from under the Church steps, I
went over to ascertain what was the matter,
for the grooming was dreadful to listen to.
[ asked who it was under there in such
distress, and the answer came in
and said, "the devil it is-what is the
matter with you" "Oh," replied his ma
jesty, "you know - we'll, he has been
an Episcopal Methodist, and they turned
&
Methodist, and they turned him out then
he went to the Presbyterians, and they
wouldn't have him !; he joined the Baptists,
and they are going to turn him out, and
nOtC he's coming tonne, and don't aUant him %
And so it will doubtless be with Holden
after your next election, and there remains
| but one power for him to give in his adhe-
sion to, and he has behaved so badly for
several years back, that [ don't think he

ness the commencement of the fifth act of
the National drama being performed there.
| The scene was quite impressive when the
| Chief Justice appeared at the door of the
! Chamber, in his robes, and attended by the
Senate committee, and contrasted very IA
vorably with the manner in which this grave

sentatives. The noise and confusion then

He pointedly and purposely omitted the
President in his prayer, beginning with an
invocation of blessings upon " the members

How this matter is to end God only
knows, but on Monday morning Thad.
Stevens told gentleman that "impoach-
ment was dead" Since that time, how
ever, Stevens has had an additional article

that the Senate may sacrifice right and the
President to consistency. We shall see.

To those Of our people who excuse their
luke-varmness in the present contest by a
determination to eschew politics, we call
their attention to this diabolical scheme to
force negro social equality upon the poorer
classes of our people. If these men can
adopt their Constitution and elect their
Legislature, the property of white men and
their labor will be taxed to support this IN
fernal scheme. The public schools and the
University will be hr0eCm open alike for ne
groeS and scAiteS. Nay, more THOSE ma

there ever such an hienous outrage sought
to be perpetrated upon the decency Of So

fore ? To tax the laborious whites to edu
cate thenegro children oughttosatisfy these
demons, but to compel tie poor achfte people,
,,DqbLe to educate their children at pr'ivate
expense, 10 send them 10 schools ociM negro
children, is requiring OF them more than
human nature can stand.
Again We appeal to the people of North
Carolina to look these things square in the
face. Mako no attempt to disguise their
hileousness, or think to avoid their evil
consequences by inaction or cowardice.
We cannot escape them if we would we
should not if we could Nor let US de-
pend too much upon others to defeat the
wicked purposes Of the Radicals. Let us
do all in our power to thwart them at
home, and then we can look for aid else

OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5, 1868.
MEssRs EDITORS am indebted to the
courtesy of a friend at Wilmington, for a
C opy of your paper of the Goth ult., con-
tanning the names presented by the Con
sentative party for the various State Offices
created by the Convention, and it seems
to me that they have done the work we'll
and presented ticket that can be elected
without the slightest difficulty if they can
get the voters out. z. 3. Vance and E. D.
Hall are, either CT them, atower of strength,
and combined, are inyincible. The qOhie
men Of the State will support the ticket to
man, and it would be surprising indeed
if many voters of the other party, especial
ly in New Hanover and adjoining counties,
where Mr.. Hall is SO we'll and SO favorably
known, did not find it more acceptable
than the Radical ticket, which l find in
the same paper.
There isn't q decent man in the State
who does not respect and admire the fear
less and Independent spirit OF Vance, and
[ think may safely say that there is not q
decent man, white or black, anywhere, in
or out of the State, who does not feel the
most thorough contempt for the Ctorlotaf
Holden. And here let me observe that
Mr.. johnson deserved the treatment he
received at the hands of this renegade
Though Holden's desertion gave him, the
President, strength) for foisting him on
the people of North Carolina as Governor,
against their several times expressed
wishes.
The President knew, or could easily have
learned. that Holden had never been true
to any individual or party, only so long as
interest prompted. That when he conceiv-
ed it to be to Holden's advantage to turn
his coat, he suffered no such insignificant
claims as honor, gratitude, friendship, con-
sistency, or any other of those feelings
that usually influence men of delicate san
sibilities, to prevent his looking out for
himself. People may talk of magic numbers,
some holding to 3, and some to z; but with
limit is, and has been, No. ONE Thus, in
following his interest he has been led into
all the parties with which the country has
been blessed, or cursed: Wing, Democrat
ic, Secessionist, Unionist, Republican,
Radical, and now is "Kipg Pin" in the

Alas! Poor Gen. Dockery.

We are reliably informed that General
Dockery's name was forwarded to Washing
ton, with recommendation fer the re-
moval'of disabilities. In the Reconstruc-
ton Committee room, the old Generals
name qcas stricken from tie HSt at the urgent
solicitation of an aspirant for Senatorial
honors in North Carolina, who was appre-
hensive that he might be in his way, and
therefore thought that his case had better
be deferred until after the election. Who is
this selfish aspirant for the Senate Was
it Gen. Abbott, or who How do Gen.
Dockery and his friends relish such treat
ment We call his attention to this state
ment, which can be vouched for. Perhaps
this was one of the reasons why the old
gentleman was asked to play second fiddle
to Holden-an honor which he indignantly
declined. Raleigh Sentinel.
