THE plumbers Of Che Dem ocraiic pal

The blunders Of the Democratic par
~ ia the North are only equalled by
the stupidity Of the Conservative party
10 the South Wade Hampton aud
Forrest instead Of cultiyating their cot
ton fields with that becoming silence,
Of which the noble Lee is an example,
occupied seats in the New York Con
vention and Hampton even took part
in framing the platform. Not content
with making themselves conspicuous
upon that occasion they made speeches,
wrote letters, talked with reporters and
were handed about from one radical
sheet to another as the representatives
Of South Carolina and Of Fort Pillow
Our enemies we're thus supplied from
our own camp with those weapons with
which, Of oil Others, they most prefer
red to 6gbtu5. When they wrote letters
10 explain their positions, did they
expect other than misrepresentation p
Experience has proven that they had
no right to expect anything else
Yet we in Virginia propose to learn
nothing from the past. Throughout
the State we find men who occupied pc.
sitions of prominence under the Con-
federate Government, Offering them
selves as candidates for Federal offices.
Men who were prominent under the
United States Government aud who
took the oath Of office, and again filled
positions Of prominence and trust under
the Confederate Government, are now
ready to rnn for Congress, when they
and their constituents know they can
not take the oath of Office, and even if
they we're admitted, could neither COM
mand influence nor respect.
We are compelled TO think the nomi.
nation of Confederate Generals as un.
wise aud impolitic. Nor should these
men expect it. If Forrest or Moseby
should be sent to Congress, does any
one suppose they would be admitted
Certainly not. Then why send then
or airy one who has held position OIL
prominence.
The Conservative party in Virginia il

fogies who cannot accommodate them
selves to the altered condition of the
country must 60 overheard Younger
men, against whom no charge save tina
of Rebel (and they call all Rebels) car
be brought, must come forward and re

Cause aud who are and we're true to th'
South in her darkest days. Let then

REPUBLICAN, MEETING AT THE Court HOUSE.
The meeting was organized by the election of
Mayor Pritchard, as Chairman, and e. B. Full
lings as Secretary. Addresses were then deliv-
cred by Mayor Pritchard and the Rev. g. W.
Pepper. The latter gentleman, being on visit
to Charlotte, attended the meeting, and on pc
ing loudly called for to make speech, took the
stand and made one OF the most telling and effec
tive speeches heard within the walls of the
Court House, for many day. The brilliant
orator vindicated, in the most eloquent terms,
the Government in maintaing itself by suppress
sing the rebellion, and exposed, in the most
seathing language the infamy of those men and
principles which plunged the country into civil
war; reiuted rebel lies and showed that the same
men and principles OF the secession democracy Of
go had emerged again in Us, cOntrasted the
characters of the present standard bearer of the
two parties, and seldom has more eloquent
and just eulOgism been pronounced on our
glorious leaders, while the history and characters
of the rebel copperhead leaders were depicted
with equal but damaging force. The speaker
concluded his speech by laying down and ex-
planning the three grand distinguishing principles
of Republicanism, to wit: Liberty for all, civil
and political equality for all, and fraternity and
the brotherhood OF all men, and never did these
principles. appear grander or nobler than under
the burning and luminous eloquence of the
speaker.
The ball, in old MeckleIburg, is moving glori-
ously and under this new impulse we think we
can roll up fair majority for oui candidates in
next November. .stGgat i--

been so richly entertained and edited to night.

Last Tuesday we smithvillians were
treated to a two hours talk from the gen
teman who desires to represent the 81 Con-
gressional District in the 4lst Congress. His
talk was principally about carpet-baggefs,
niggers, &c. His speech was so lame and
poor that even his friends eyinced no desire
to talk about it after the meeting was over.
Poor Mccoy! he came unheralded and I'M
announced, with few to greet him, and he
left without any manifestations to cheer him
on, and left every "old line Whig"' feeling
anything but pleasant.
In the evening the Republicans held a
meeting at the M. E. Church, which was
filed to overlooking. si.@- i'-4'
After the organization, Hon. q. Legg was
loudly called for, and responded in a speech
of about an hour, amid the widest entlusi-
asm After which there was grand torch
light procession with flags, &C., which
frightened some of our backwoods friends,
for it burst out upon them all SO suddenly,
and was so unexpected, that some of them
even left for the woods Smithville is all
right. More anon. X.

Gen. Barringer's reply was better and
more effective than his first speech. In fact
it was admirable, intaste, point and effect:
He replied to every point and demolished
