In UNISON They DWELL ToGETH-
ER.-Consistency is q Jewel. II
comes to be a precious jewel in a
Democratic setting. Thus Wade
Hampton, who had inserted in the
Democratic platform the sentence
which reads "And we declare that
the Reconstruction acts are revolu-
tionary, unconstitutional and void, y
says in his late speech at Charleston
III yield to none in devotion to that
"Lost Cause for which we fought
Never shall ! admit the cause itself
failed, and that the principles which
gave it life were therefore wrong.
Never shall ! brand the men who
upheld it so nobly rs "rebels' and
TRAITORS n-Er.
And Judge Briggs, of this place,
a recent convert to the beauties and
policy of the rebel democracy and
platform, said IN ms salutatory
speech the other day;
"The institutions of this Govern
mont In my Judgment, are in as
much or more danger from the
usurpations of Congress, and the
iinsiduous but fatal attacks made on
the Constitution in the ename of the
law. than from open, armed rebel
/ lion !"
There is q striking similarity OF
sentiment between the Southern
man with Southern principles, and
the Northern man with Southern
Ipredilectioas Judge Briggs thinks
the Government was IN less danger
from Hampton and his rebel sol
diers in arms and open rebellion
than there is now from our Con.
gress, chosen by loyal voters.

A QUESTION OF VFRAoITY BETWEEN
DEMOCRATS Gould says, in the
Register this week, that the Demo,
cratic candidate for Congress in this
District, Hon. Nelson Barrere, SIS
not a b0adholder," and then adds
that John A. Smith, the Republican
candidate for the same office is q
bondholder.
Now for the question of veracity,
Mr.. Barrere, in his speech in the
Court House in this place, it will he
remembered by those who were
there, said he did own Government
bonds, but not as many as Mr.,
Smith, and he was sorry for that !;
and that while neither Of them paid
taxes directly on the bonds, they
did pay taxes on them indirectly,
by paying taxes on their bank stock,
which was based upon Government
bonds.
Mr.. Barrere says he does own
Government bonds, and Could says
he don't. Who knows best? Mr..
Barrero says he is a Director in the
National Bank at Hillsborough, of
which Mr.. John A, Smith is Presi-
dent.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. The

the following gentlemen:
For Sherift'-Mark A. Melvin.

Coronor--W. r. Hukill.

per.
They are all clever gentlemen
and would no doubt like to be elect
ed but they are so eonfoundedly
unfortunate as to belong to a party
that can't put them in, We are
sorry they have no better luck than
to be in such bad company,

= Mr. Barrere, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this Dis
trict, said in his speech at the Court
House in this place on the night of
the lst inst, in speaking of the nom
nation Of Frank Blair, by his party,
for Vice President, that they might
have done better. A large majority
of the voters in the United States
think the Republican Convention at
Chicago did do better,

- Seymour >and Blair are tie
chosen candidates of the rebels for
President and Vice President. We
do not say that every man who
votes for the chosen candidates Of
the rebels is himself rebel at heart
but we do say that every rebel who
is allowed to vote will vote for Sey.
moW and Blair; and we will ado
that every man who is not u rebc
and votes their ticket, is in inferna
mean company.

Is VALLANDIGHAM Coon AUTHoR-
rTY ?-Thc notorious rebel General,
and now supporter of the Demo.
cratic Presidential ticket, said in a
speech at Columbia, s. c., the other
day, that "He had been told by no
less distinguished person than Tal-
lamdigham, that Ohio was certain
for Seymour" After the election
is over, the distinguished rebel
General will understand that his
rebel brother Val. is not good au-
thority, and that he has not got
Ohio to let in this contest any more
than he had in 1868, when he was
beaten for Governor in this State
by 100000 majority.

-SWe see that the Democracy OF
Fayctte and Highland counties are
to hold kind of independent Ju-
dicial Convention, to nominate a
Judge, at Leeshurg, Highland coum-
ty, on the 25th inst. The Demo
cratic convention held here on last
Saturday, Instructed their delegates
TO vote for Judge Briggs. So we
suppose Fayette and part of
Highland will nominate Briggs
but whether Ross and the other
part Of Highland will agree to that
kind OF dictation, remains to be
seen.

- The reason why Wade Hamp-
toms great speech was made u few
days since at Charleston, S. G., is
because 1T was designed especially
to suit the feelings of the friends of
the "LoSt Cause" 1t is published
in all the Democratic papers South
as a good campaign document tor
the friends, as our townsman, Judge
Briggs, would say,-sincc his con-
version to the democratic policy
-"of open, armed rebellion" 1t
was designed especially for that lat
itude. But its publication in North
ern, Eastern and Western Demo
cratic papers would be fatal to their
cause; hence its publicity is conln-
ed in those latitudes to Union pa
pers.

Nelson Barrere, the Butternut
candidate for Congress in this Dis.
trict is a resurrected old fossil Of
the late Wing party, who was put
to sleep, politically, by his party in
1858. He has lately walked up, and
after rubbing his eyes, finds his old
political associates merged into the
Republican party, and out Of spite
has joined the Butternut party, and
fancics to himself that he is going
to be elected to Congress. But he
will be doomed to take another Rip
Van Winkle sleep, for there is Il
Republican gentleman in lIillsboro
whom the people ofthis District are
going to send to Congress by their
votes In October next.

Our County Ticket.

SO far as we have been able to
learn, the ticket for county officers
chosen by the Republicans at theil
primary elections this year, is salts
factory to the party.
Our candidate for Sheriff, Col, c.
Garis, is an active, wide-awake man
and soldier, who proved his loyalty
to his Government, by voluntarily
serving his country upon the battle
field, AT the battle of Cynthiana
he was wounded in the arm, which
cripples him for life. While it does
not disable him from business, it
does render him unable to procure
Il living by physical labor. The
Colonel is competent to discharge
the duties of the office for which
he is a candidate; and for gallant
services in defense of the Govern
ment, the people Of this county
ENTHUSIASTICALLY prove their graf.
itude by electing him to the office of
Sheriff.
Our candidate for County Com
missioner is every way well quail
fed to discharge the duties of that
office. Mr.. Reader resides in the
Southwestern portion of the coun-
ty, and it would seem justand right
that at this election a Commissioner
should be chosen from that section
of the county. Mr.. Reader will not
be governed by sectional feeling s,
however, but knowing him as we
do, we are confident that his first
view of important questions that
may arise before the Board, will be:
"Is it right2 DO the people desire
it? VIII it he a prudential meas
ure in point Of financial expenditure
of the peoples money!" In fine,
our candidate is a sound, practical
business man, and will make a good
Commissioner.
Our candidate for County Survey
Or, Mr.. James A. Mclean, is a
young man and a good practical
Engineer and Surveyor, every way
qualified to discharge the duties de-
folying upon that officer. He, too,
served his country until his health
'ailed. He was in the ll4th Regi-
ment.
John A. Pawctt, our candidate
for Coroner, is the present incum-
bent, and merits, as he will secure,
a reelection. He, too, has seen
service in the army, and smelt rebel
yunpowder.
Our candidate for Inlrmary Di-
rector is at present q member Of
that Board, and has proven himself
1 competent and judicious officer,
md the interests of the county
would suffer by making change
n the Board at this time. His
ounsel is needed in the Board, and
We doubt not the people will SO re-
,ard it, and rc-elect him.

- Our neighbor Of the Register
thinks that every man who lent the
Government money with which to
pay our soldiers, and to carry on
the war to save the Union, and took
Government bonds for their mon
ey, is a scomdrel, unworthy oil
public trust or confidence, and
ought to be despised and loathed
by everybody, This is not to be
wondered at, 1t is just what every
rebel who fought to destroy the
Government thinks Of those men
who helped to pay oul soldier boys
and keep them from starving when
they we're fighting for their Govern
ment; for without this aid we sho'd
have been compelled to let our
soldiers starye, or abandon the at
tempt TO save the Government. II
anybody is to be despised it is the
man who had plenty of money and
was too much of a rebel to lend it
to the Government, but had rather
see the soldiers starye and the re-
bellion triumph. Nelson Barrere
deserves credit for what he did in
the way Of assisting the Govern
ment to the sinews of war, instead
of the censure which Could is try
ing to heap upon him, by denying
that he did assist in this way to put
down the rebellion.
