rpounIE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

The trouble in North Carolina CON
tinues. An exchange says that Lowry
and his gang of black scoundreis nave
been robbing, burning and numbering IN
North Carolina for three months past
and though the details of their exploits
are perfectly well known throughout the
country, we have heard OF no efforts on
the mart of the Government to Dring
them to justice. Their politics ana
compilations being of the same color
they are permitted to pursue their ope-
rations unmoIested, except so Tar as o
few volunteers have been able to oier a
feeble resistance. Had these fellows
been white men and Democrats the
President would long since have issued
a tremendous proclamation and crushed
out "the new rebellion by a combined
attack of horse, foot and dragon.

prRIrs OF DEMOCRACY.

California is lost TO the Democrats.
That Is fact. But how did the thing
oecur? The New York Sun thinks 1t Is
"due TO weak platform, feeble cahdi-
date for Governor, and canvass on
their mart destitute of spirit. The plat
form smoke in dubious phraseology IN
regard to old issues, and especially the
validity of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments. The administration OF
Haight the present Democratic Cover
nor, is very unpopular, and yet his oihee-
holders insisted on putting him on the
track for a second term. The hepnph-
cans nominated Newton Booth, favor
lite with the people, and threw into the
campaign powerful array of speakers
from the Eastern States, while the Dem
ocrats had no orator capable OF meeting
them except the Hon. S. s. Cox OF this
city" This may be all true, but 1t does
not alter the fact. Democrats must look
it full in the face, and make the
most of Il. Unless the divisions IN
our party shall be speedily healed,
and the clamor about platform
be hushed, there is no sort of chance Tor
its triumph next year. The Democratic
marty needs no preambles and resolutions
defining its creed. Its true euloglst is
the past history of the country where
every page has a tongue most eloquent
with truth. It's principles are found IN
the administration of the government
from its formation to the day when the
black sluice of Radicalism was first turned
loose upon the country to discolor the
records of the nation. Our party plat
form is simply the history OF Its mea-
sures. We want nothing else-the eoun-
try wants nothing else. All men can
read il. Who, in his sober senses, thinks
that, if we needed any, we could find one
more effective than a brief resolu
ton arraigning the conduct OF thu
Radical party at the bar Of public
opinion2 Our policy Is to take the
aggressive, and rain day and nigh
npon the most corrupt party thai
ever governed people. The suns
Of that party are high as mountains
deep as caverns and black as night
When asked for our platform, we cal
point TO the glorions past and say, there
tits. Ii was never a party of robbery,
of Acknowledgement. 1t has ever re-
spected and held rs sacred the rights
of States and persons. II never subsil-
tuted the military for the civil authority
Its great men never took brides. It's
Presidents never packed the Supreme
Court that it might decide a question
according to their wishes No, the Dem
ocrats must hush their quarrels or be
ruined. Let all questions that divide
them be ignored and severely left TO 81
lence. Nothing really divides them. II
is more fancy than anything else. Let
us harmonize. We can do it, We must
do IT, We are lost if we do not. We
shall lose all the States if we do not
stop all pickering and unite as an army
and step to one strain OF music and re
solve ON victory.

THE NEW sAHIrARIum.

The papers are talking much OF the
effect. the atmosphere Of the Rocky
Mountains produces on diseased per
sons. Hon. William d. Kelly has writ
ten letter to Philadelphia paper upon
the subject He says the day is not far
distant when the plains by which one
gradually ascends five thousand feet to
the base of the mountains, and the slopes
and valleys of the mountains, will be
recognized by the world as vast sana-
tarium. There is health-giving power
in their sun and atmosphere that must
be experienced to be appreciated. The
sun shines full three hundred days in the
year, and the brief seasons in which the
rain falls are well defned, and may
therefore be avoided. For asthmatie
and bronchial diseases the sun and air
of the Rocky Mountains are almost abb
solute specifics. SO, too, If properly
applied, are they for incipient diseases
Of the lungs; but patients whose lungs
are seriously affected should not go
direct to the mountains, the more at
tenuaied atmosphere Of which taxes for a
time the power to run, jump, climb hills,
or indulge in other violent exercise
Of those whose breathing apparatus is
most perfect The aid the mountain
region affords to eonsumptives from the
seaboard and Mississippi Valley States
is relief from the humidity of the atmos
phere and the excessive heat Of sum
mer. or the moist and excessive cold Of
winter; and the lower the altitude al
which they at first avail themselves Of
this, the better. People affected with
asthma or bronchitis may find relief il
almost any part of Colorado or Wyo
ming that has an elevation of from 500
to 5000 feet; but those who are suffering
from tubercies or heart disease SHOULD
avoid such nights, or only approach
them slowly after strength has beef
gained on the lower plains. If con
sumptive finds no relief at an elevation
Of 5000 feet, it will be well for him TO g
no further, but rather retraee his steps

ANoRTHERN Radical paper thinks it
very Important that the president shall

President Grant has done in SO many
instances, such as his use of the naval
force of tie United States in the civil
war in San Domingo, and his maintain
ing a military court around his person
at the White House in defiance OF the
statutes Of the United States" Yet,
when Grant gets the nomination, this

Of these conditions is most impressively

dition of preserving liberty The king
