The Radical County Canvass.


POINT CASWELII, NEW HANOVER Co., n. =. |
April 8, 1868.
Messrs. Editors Yesterday being the
day appointed for the IS RAIDS " to speak at
this precinct, we of course expected the
colored population to turn out " en- mass, "
but were agreeably, and the Grads " sad
ly disappointed, there being only about two
dozen present it was dull meeting in
deed. What few negroes were here took
very little interest in it, and I think the
" RAIDS " saw very plainly that their cause
is HOPELESS one. Shank, the Radical can
didate for High Sheriff of this county,
took the stand first, and for short while
discoursed the merits of the glorious Con-
stitestion about to be offered to the people
for ratification or rejection. His speech
was very shallow, nothing in it to enligh-
ten the negro. He could not face the white
men he turned his back upon US, and not
once did he look around during his whole
speecL. wish every white man in the
county could have seen him, after he was
through talking, seated. in buggy a short
ing himself upon a cold snack furnished
by " brudder Tony Lewis. During Nab
sons discourse he would ever and anon
flourish chicken bone in one hand and a
biscuit in the other, and exclaim bully
'' that's so - good" and like exclama-
tions, in order to get the negroes to cheer
the speaker, but nary cheer could he bring
forth. There was no enthusiasm in the
crowd at all. The last seen of him was
crossing the river in company with some
negroes, and [ understand that he stopped
ever night with negro family no doubt
he had a nice time, and felt perfectly at
home.
Sach, Messrs. Editors, is the man that as
pires to the office of Sheriff of this coun-
ty. George MADISON made much the best
speech Of the two, and both white and
black have more respect for him than they
have for this fellow Shank.
The white men in this part of the coun-
ty are fully aroused, and both old and
young are hard at work to defeat this infa-
nous Constitution, and with the help OF
God we ecW defeat it,

The Legislature OF Connecticut.

There are some who may not understand
why it was that the Radicals carried the
Legislature of Connecticut, while the Dem
ocrats elected the Governor. We will ex-
plain. Every town in Connecticut has one
member of the Legislature, however small
its population. No town or city has more
than two members The large towns, such
as New Haven and Hartford, are Democrat
ic, but they have no more votes in the
Legislature than small towns, with not
one-tenth their population. It is under this
system, based on towns, and not on popu-
lation, that the Radicals always carry the
Legislature.

HON eSteads.

Among the other schemes which shrewd
calculating Yankees concocted to allure
North Carolinians into sale of their honor
and manhood by supporting their Infamous
Constitution is the provision providing fo1
a Homestead. Like their legislation upon
the subject of relief, it is a delusion and a
cheat. Those who sell themselves thus
cheaply will find that they have parted
with their heritage for q mess of pottage.
The very clause of the infamous Constitu-
ton which provides Homestead, with
seeming humanity, contains also provi-
sion which renders its possession nuga-
tory-nay, positively Injurious. "No pro-
perty," says the second Section of Article
Ten Of the proposed Constitution, the very
section which grants the Homestead,
"shall be exempt from sale for taxes, OR
for payment of obligations contracted for
the purchase of said premises"
Now, as a matter of relief, in the face of
the ftCo and q bdJf millions of dollars which
MUST BE COLLECTED NEXT YEAR under the
operation Of the Constitution and legisla-
ton Of the socalled Convention, we should
like to know what these Homesteads would
be worth. See how the miserable tricks
tiers ana spectators heaped this great bur
den of taxation upon lands in favor of the
poll and property in bonds, stocks, &c.
While processing sympathy for the poor
land owners they eat up his substance and
sell the last vestige of his property.
Away with such peridy. Could North
Carolinians consent to sell their votes they
cannot be deceived by such shallow sub
terfuges. The present laws of the State
provide an ample and honest Homestead
exemption, and our people will secure the
substance and avoid the shadow by
VOTING DOWN the infamous Constitu-
ton.

A correspondent some days since made
the inquiry through tho columns of the
Journal whether the General Littlefield,
who is figuring in this State as chief lob
byist Of the so-called Convention, and
claiming to have made such large invest
ments in the Deep River section, was the
same individual who WAS connected with
many disreputable transactions in the lum-
Der trade Of Philadelphia year or two
since. A correspondent of the Standard,
probably the redoubtable General himself,
denies the identity.
A Philadelphia correspondent, q gentle
man we'll known in this city, informs us
that he had learned definitely the name OF
the individual who figured in that city in
connection with these very noted and no.
torious transactions. Our friend says

denied he was the same man now in North

famous Philadelphia lumber Spectator,
whose timbered lands turned out to be To-
Gated in Utopia OF the moon, we forget

attempting to control the politics of North

financial policy. His reputation here is
