ALL THEY CAN STAND.

Our Democratic brethren have not
been very particular about their doc
ttrines of late years the main ques-
tion with them in making up their
platforms has been, ''what set of prin-
ciples will be the most likely to WIN"
As general rule Democrats and Dem
.ocratic papers could not be induced to
commit themselves very strongly on
political questions before the meeting
of their conventions--they discreetly
aimed to wait and learn from the &C.
ton of said conventions what their
principles might be. After this I'M
iportant point had become established,
however, they would proceed to advo-
cate their GLORIOUS Democratic doc
trines with charac eristic vigor and
earnestness. The inevitable consequence
of this method Of managing their pc
Ethical affairs has been that conventions
IN different localities have arrived at
widely different re suits and according
ly we have in times past seen Demo
Gratis in one part of the Union advo-
cate the payment Of cur national debt
in gold in another while they just
as earnestly argued its payment in
greenbacks and in still another entire
reputation was theBemoc raic doctrine.
On other ques lions no less variance was
manifested, yet all these apparently
discordant ia etions marched together
under one flag, swore unanimously by
jackson and Jefferson, voted fol the
same candidates and forme the great
''union" Kaleidoscope Democratic par
sty. The same tactics continue to be
practiced the present campaign, and
re find doctrines of all''shades of differ
ence endorsed and labeled "Demo-
cratic" in various parts of the country.
But the action of, the Democratic con-
vention at Milwaukee on the 9Th is
the bitterest dose the long suffering
and faithful OF this state were ever
called upon to swallow, and they have
not taken It without much squirming
AMI many wry faces. Equal suffrage,
regret for our fallen soldiers, the hon
est payment Of the national debt, JOY
over the destruction Of slavery, tick
ct composed mostly of political eunuchs,
and plat form built of Republican
timbey-these are the things which
the Democrats Of Wisconsin are called |
upon to proclaim as their sentiments
and to endorse; never before was a po-
litical party whipped into such morti- |
flying inconsistencies. But ad ,ptabili- |
ty is eminently a Democratic virtue and
We confidently expect to see the un-
terrified Of this state take up the re-
frain and march cheerfully along to
the new and anaccustomed music
provided for them.

MURDER AT KILBoURN CITY.-On
Monday, the 18th inst, one of the most
terrible murders which the annals of
crime in this state furnish was COM
mitted upon defenceless and unofend-
ing old gentleman by the name of
Schuyler S. Gates, near Kilbourn City.
The Mtrror gives detailed account of
the murder from which we CLEAN the
following points: Mr.. Gates left his
home in Kilbourn City about FIVE
o'clock In the morning, taking bag
and some provisions with him with the
intention of gathering cranberries over
in Sank county, The bridge tender
saw him CROSS the bridge ana ABOUT
fifteen minutes after two young iel-
lows who had been hanging about the
place for several days followed lin.
They had given their names as Hugh
Smith and Perry Richards, and while
at Kilbourn they had kept the com
pany Of one Frank Gale, fellow Of
VIGOROUSLY bad character. About three
hours afterwards it was reported that
a dead man was lying beside the road
three-quarters of a mile west of the
bridge. The spot was at once visited
and Mr.. Gates was found in the road
lying upon his face, dead. There were
evidences of desperate struggle in
the vicinity, and many circumstances
went to show that the young men who |
had been seen to follow him were the |
of the terrible deed. Ev-
cry effort is being put forth to effect |
heir arrest but thus far without success

they have a common interest, and each
member of the great community is bound
by interests far above and beyond mere
money considerations to contribute of his
efforts to the advancement of the general
good. This Society is not of the nature of
q joint-stock association managed in the in
terest of corporators and stockholders, but
a State organization established in the inte-

ton, therefore, in which every citizen of the
State, no matter what his profession,
should feel warm and active interest, and
to whose success he will contribute as oppor-

War to be Avoided.

The Sentinel, after long sleep, has at
length got awake. Its first idea is that the
STANDARD has changed its tone on the sub
ject of war with England and SPAIN" 1t
also makes the interesting discovery that it
was "blatant on the subject of war" This
is false. The STANDARD has never advocated
a war with either England or Spain, or with
any other nation, except it be to protect
American citizens or to vindicate American
honor But while we would never counsel
submission to insult OF injury, We would
never, on the other hand, favor war which
was not rendered imperatiyely necessary by
one of these two causes. This is our ground,
and we have never varied from it. The
person who wrote that article well knew
this fact when he was writing it. To prove
how utterly false is the charge he has made,
we quote the following from the article to
which he has alluded
Let the government demand suitable apollo
gies from England or Spain-they will be con-
ceded-but let no pressure hurry it into war
that is not absolutely necessary to the honor of
the nation.
That the rebel Democracy is not to be
trusted is amply proved by its every action.
The long list of Ku Klux outrages In Rock
ingham, Granville and Alamance counties, =
the riots at Memphis and New Orleans, and
at Asheville in this State, fully substantiates
our charge that the Democrats of the South
could not be relied upon to preserve the
peace The leaven of rebellion has leavened
the whole party, and we repeat that the
Democratic leaders would renew their trait
orous efforts to destroy the Union the mo-
ment the government was engaged in hos
tile war, if they thought they could do it
successfully. Judas Iscariot would never
have been reckoned a safe person to entrust
with valuables after he had sold his master
to obtain the wealth of the disciples, neither
will an ,unrepentant traitor be considered
good citizen. IF Andrew johnson had done
more hanging and less pardoning, it might
have been worse for the Democratic party,
but it would have been much better for the
nation. To all copperheads we have only
to say, "Jutas went out and hanged him
self" "Go thou and do likewise"
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-05-05
Immigration.

We have always advocated the encourage
ment of immigration. Nothing will do
more to build up our State than the coming
of good, steady, industrious men who will
devote themselves to the development of our
yet unimproved natural wealth. If they
come to be good citizens and to aid us in
this work, we care not what may be their
wealth or poverty, we will give them warm
the rich, for his labor will be of as much
good as the rich mans capital To men
who are willing to work North Carolina Of
fers greater advantages than any other South
ern State. Her soil is not surpassed in fer
tility and adaptability to the various staples
by any in the world. Possessing the most
even temperature of any State in the Union
it has no extremes of heat or cold, consc-
quently it is extremely healthy. The noun
tain regions of the State are adapted to
dairy-farming and for Embarrassing cannot
be equaled.
In minerals North Carolina is the rich
est State in the Union, and probably is
not equalled in the variety and amount of
its mineral wealth by any section of the
world. Gold. silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc
and coal, are found in great quantities and
of the best quality. Capital and labor sarc
all that is needed to make the Old North
State the richest and most powerful of all
the commonwealth. The attention of capi-
talists and ofthe Northern people is directed
to our State, and, if properly encouraged,
the tide of immigration will set this way.
South Carolina and Louisiana have set the
example of inviting immigration, and are
already experiencing the benefits of their
course Shall North Carolina lag behind 2

There IS wailing in the tents of Israel.
Tammany roareth like the whangdoodle,
and Manhattan mourneth and refuseth to be,
comforted. The World has nothing in the
World to sustain it, and appealeth to the
faithful for support. Brick Pomeroy, the
Michigan pet-bagger, who runs tho organ
of the anti-carpet-bag party, adds insult to
injury by contributing dollar in aid of his
rival. He heapeth Goals upon the head of
the World, Gov. Hoffman and the rest of
mankind by writing letter which reHecteth
upon the financial and political prosperity
of the World. also upon the Democratic mag
mates. The entire Democratic party is as
founded and terrified at this split in their
ranks. As for us, our modest prayer is pull
devil pull baker"
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1869-05-05

.
The Wilmington Journal, taking its clue
from the Sentinel, thinks the STANDARD is
growing circumspect relative to war. The
article has the same points as that in Mon
days Sentinel but is rather better written.
Our answer to the Sentinel will do for the
Journal. Our platform is "no war unless
necessary to protect American citizens or
the honor of the nation" If these be as
sailed we will favor war. But we are not
in favor of wasting thousands of lives and
plunging the country still deeper in debt,
of taxing the people still more, all that e
few men may grow rich on the misery of
the people. We will never advocate any
project that will not benefit the people.
Neither shall we take back our assertion
that the Democracy is hostile to the govern
ment and not to be trusted. The recent dis
graceful scene in Richmond theatre, where
an alluslon to the national flag was hissed by
majority of the audience, fully proves our as
sertion that the Democrats hate the govern
ment The course of nearly every Democratic
paper proves it. The words of the very article
in which the Journal denies the charge:
proves it. When such things cease We will
be the first to announce the change, and to-
welcome it. Until that time, we shall ex-
pose the schemes of the enemies of the gov
crnmcnt that they may be frustrated. The
STANDARD is run in the interest of no set of
self constituted aristocrats, but is the peo-
ple's journal and will be ever on the alert to
warn them of the treacery of the men who
endeavor to ruin the people that they may
benefit themselves.

N.a N H B. q
Recent Investigations in Germany show,
it is stated, that the painful effect of artiR-
cial light upon the eyes is attributable to
the great proportion of non-luminous rays
or rays of mere caloric bearing no illumina-
tion, which it contains. In sun light there
is fifty per cent of such rays, in gas light
nearly ninety, in electric light eighty, and in
kerosene light ninety-four. A chemist
named Landsberg has discovered that by
passing any kind of artificial light through
thin layer of alum or mica, these caloric
rays are absorbed, while the illuminating
power of the light rays is undiminished, and
becomes exceedingly mild and pleasant to
the eye. .,

The editor of the Roanoke Meas wonders
at our condescending to notice" him.
Quite number of people have expressed the
same idea. We did it pretty much upon the
same principle that an elephant flaps bis ear
when fly gets on it; it is not because the
fly hurts the elephant or endangers his safety.
but simply because he don't want the cussed
thing around. As to our wishing to cover
him with SCREEN" or with anything else,
we know that we have no such wish. The
job is done to our hand, for he is well nigh
out of sight in the filth which he has been
scattering around him SO profusely for the
last year and half If he don't repent, We
fear that he will be one of the Stones that
will be rejected by the Builder.
