to seduce her from the paths of virtue and
charity and to appropriate to his own use

good and lawful men and sentenced by the
presiding Judge to be imprisoned in the
common Jail for the space of three calender
months, which said sentence was promptly
executed by the Sheriff of the county. Can

Let us have War GEN. BLAIR.
Peace.

We had hoped that after so many repeat
ed defeats of the enemies of the Government
from the time they fired on Sumter down to
the late stunning blow they received in
North Carolina in the last election, that all
opposition would have ceased, and that
peace and prosperity would have been re-
stored to our poor old State These hopes
have been disappointed. The Democratic
platform has declared aoar. Rebel leaders
in the South gave the law to the Convention
which endorsed Blair's letter and put him
on the ticket for the second highest office in
the gift Of the people. The Sentinel of this
city has at last come out for war sin no IN
certain sound" to the skilful reader. We
quote the following from the journal re-
ferred to-
''GEN. BLAIRs LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
We take great pleasure in directing atten-
ton to Gen. Frank P. Blair's admirable let
ter of acceptance of the National Democratic
nomination for the Vice Presidency, which
will be found upon our first page this morn
ing. 1t is eloquent, patriotic and Jackson
ian. As the Richmond Dispatch observes,
the masses are partial to bold men in times
of trouble. This letter utters no uncertain
sound. Improves its author to be cut out for
a leader. The people will rally to his stand
ard, if they are not indeed unworthy de-
scendants of their revolutionary ancestors
Let us analyze this paragraph and see
what it means, italicising the words our
selves.
In the first place, it is we'll known that
| Blair has written letter in which he says that
in the event of the success of the Democratic
party, the governments in the Southern
States must be overturned at the point of the
bayonet. Of course this means war, which
would rage here in the South with fury
and devastation unparalleled in history.
To quote: sit (the letter. is eloquent, pa
triotic and JacksOnian." Why is it hckson-
ian? Because Jackson took the sword to
South Carolina as these would take the
sword In the South again. Jackson, how
ever, took the sword, under the Constitution
and to maintain the laws, while these rev.
olutionists would take the sword to destroy
both Constitution and laws. To quote
again, ''the masses are partial to bold men in
time of trouble" Who are bold men9 Why,
fighting men, of course. Again: "the letter
utters no uncertain sound" What is the
sound9 It's the 0Oice Of aoar! 1.-THE peo-
pie will rallyif worthy of their revolutionary
ancestors Why revolutionary ancestors
Because neoo revolution IS to be inaugurated.
A aoord to the wise is sufficient.

The resolution declared in substance this,
that the existing chairs were at present va

of the Executive Committee, which is COM

that they return to their respective counties

The New York World, referring to the
passage of the Electoral College Bill and the
idea that it is the purpose OF the Radicals
to have Grant for President, whether the
people say or not, declares with significance
and emphasis:

the Democratic party from doing its whole
duty. We have borne with patience much
that we would not have borne at all, but for
the expectation of relief in this Presidential
election. The time has now come when
majority of the people of the whole coun-
try will assert their right to control the Gov
eminent of the country. If the Republican
party are majority of the uhOle country,
we will submit; if they are not majority
of the whole adult male population, they
SHALL SUBMIT, or else soc wM knosD the

polls, or refuse to count our votes, we shall
be none the less a majority in consequence
of such exclusion, and being a majority, and
having the preponderance of physical
strength, the Democratic party will not be
found so wanting in manhood as to be ruled
by reckless, usurping minority"

The New Police.


The new Municipal officers appointed by
the Governor for this City went on duty on
Friday night last. Col. Harrison, the Mayor,
has heretofore occupied the same position to
the entire satisfaction of the citizens. His
impartiality and integrity have won for him
the respect of all. During his administra-
ton, justice will be meted to every one with
out any distinction of party. The Police is
an efficient body of men. A striking fea-
ture in its organization is, that there are three
colored policemen. The great advantage of
these appointments to the protection of per-
sons and property will be seen in moment
by all sober and right minded men, who are
not maddened and blinded by party rage
What our merchants and citizens generally
want is protection from deprezatiOns. If it
be true, then, as alleged in certain quarters,
that large proportion of the thefts and
burglaries are committed by the colored peo-
pie, the colored policemen will have means of
information and consequently of bringing the
perpetrators to justice, which would never
have been extended to the former police
All classes and colors will learn that the
laws must be respected and the colored peo-
pie will not feel that it Is an oppression on
them or their race when tried and punished
by a Republican Mayor. We commend these
considerations to the lovers of law and order
