The delegation of Nersh Caroline in Con-
gress have, almost without execution, re-
ceived high praise for their earnestness and
ability in performing their official duties.
They have creditably filed honorable posi-
tions upon important committees in the two
houses, and done much to advance the in
terests of our State. Their course has great
ly tended to make reconstruction complete
and effective, by obtaining that influence in
their respective bodies which will enable
them in thefuture to secure the passage Of
acts for the benefit of their constituents and
the whole country. The intelligent cores
pondent of the Rutland, VT, Herald, writes
his impressions oftwo of our Representatives
as follows:
at is truly gratifying to note the grow
ing sentiment which Enthusiastically manlfests
itself here in favor of reconstruction in the
South, on just and an enduring basis and
at an early day; and the willingness and
desire on the part of prominent men from
the South generally to do everything in
their power to advance and nothing to re-
tard the great work Among the Southern
members of the Forty first Congress who
have come more immediately under the OBJ
servation ofthe writer as most valuable and
effective laborers in this all-important work,
are Messrs. Heaton and Cobb, of the North
Carolina delegation, than whom it may be
said that none have made more favorable
impression here, taking into consideration
the short time they have been in Washing
ton. falf
The first named gentleman, Col Heaton,
who represents the second district of the
State, was, if l mistake not, elected to the
Fortieth Congress about year ago. and has
man-born in Hamilton, Ohio, i think
and located in New Berne during the war.
But, though he is what is sometimes termed
a carpet-bagger." no member of Congress
more faithfully and thoroughly and truly
represents his constituency than he. He is,
at the same time, one of the most polished
and amiable gentlemen in the House, and
can hardly fail of growing in popularity
with his CO laborers in Congress, as we'll as
with his constituents at home.
Mr.. Cobb, of the first District, who is
serving his first term, is a native of the dis
trict he represents. Educated as an old
line Whig, he was consistent Union man
during the war, and was among the first in
the South to realize and accept the situa-
ton. He is truly and consistently Re-
publican, having been identified with that
party since its organization in the late rebel
States. Mr. Cobbis one of the youngest, if
not the youngest of the members of the
House, and being an indefatigable worker,
and man of fine natural abilities, it is not
too much to say that he bids fair 10 occupy
at no distant day a prominent position in
the councils of the nation. .ls ,,.t4 .ii,e

The provision in the Constitution of the
State, making the Insane Asylum purely
charitable and supporting its inmates at the
public expense, is made a subject of criti-
cism and complaint by certain papers,
against the General Assembly, whose only
action in the matter was to carry out a pos
tive injunction in the organic law The
responsibility is with the Convention and
the people who ratified the Constitution.
The Charlotte Democrat and Ashevile
Neaos have failed to show any reason why
the taxes heretofore upon certain counties
should not be borne by the State at large
The property fthe few pay patients is taxed
or the support of the Institution, and it is
not, therefore, unreasonable that they them
selves should be supported from the common
fund, to which they have contributed. :

AS the STANDARD claims to be on the side of
the people, and tells us that all the negroes
one side, and that fve-siXths of the whites on
the other, will it tell US which race now COM
prise the people of the South, the white or the
negro? Which do you belong to, Mr. STAND
ARD the white or the nigger people ~ Winston
Sentinel. .y9f' l9a.iHsE LE
We recognize no distinction of color when
we say 'the people," By the laws of the land
every man is citizen of the United States,
without regard to color. We do not belong
to the white or colored people. We belong
to the aOhole people. regardless OF race or
color. And while we defend the people
against the attacks of blood sucking aristo-
Gratis you will find that the people are with
us. We appreciate your efforts to create
division among the people, for you feel that
your mongrel party is being broken up; but
we tell you that your efforts will fail, and
the people, the aohole people, will redeem
North Carolina from the ruin Democrats
have wrought, by supporting the Republi-
can party The better men of the mongrel
Democracy are leaving it by thousands, and
it will soon be thing of the past. Perhaps
by that time some of these ancient barnacles
will find out who and what the people are.

Our PriuciDles.


The Salisbury Old North State thinks that
the principles of Washington and Jefferson
cannot be reconciled, as Washington was
sincere christian, and jefferson was an open
scoffer. With the religious sentiments OF
the two men the present has nothing to do
Piles they were accountable but to God, and
to Him have they gone for judgment. Re
ligion is too sacred theme to be made the
subject of party strife. Party deals with
the duty of men to their country-Religion
with the duty of men to their Creator The
one is of the world, the other of that which
is far higher than all worldly things. For
his political sentiments man may be made
accountable by his fellow men, but for his
religious belief he must account to God.
The statement that Washington was a
Republican whose theory was that of a
e balanced Republic" whilst Jefferson was
a radical Democrat, does not at all initiate
against our former position. Each took a
different method to attain the same end.
Each was in favcr of popular suffrage Each
acknowledged the right of the people to
direct the affairs of the governments. Each
was in favor of the abolition of human
slavery Each, in his own way, was a true
patriot and true friend to the people. Each
would have resisted to the last any attempt
to disrupt the Republic. These are the
principles of the Republican party of to-day
Thus we were right in saying that the prin-
ciples of the Republican party are the same
as professed by Washington and Jefferson.
The North State further says, drawing its
deductionfr from its pre-assumed position, that
the STANDARD has at length informed the
> old Wings that they can not join the Re-
publican party without sacrificing their
principles. The STANDARD has made no
such assertion. If the" old Wings are true
to the government of their fathers they
believe in the right of the people to ruie-if
they are opposed to any and all attempts to
disrupt the Republic-if they endorse the
fundamental principle of the Declaration of
Independence that call men are created free
and EQUAL" they will have to sacrifice no
principle to join the Republican party, for
these are Republican principles. All men.
whatever their color, race, or social condi
ton, who support these principles, the Re
publican party invites to cooperate with it
in its efforts to defend the government and
to benefit the people. 80 8
