The Republican State Committee of New

the gathering, says: Reports from all
sections of the State give assurance that
what has taken place in the recent elections
in the great central States of the Union is
sure to occur in New Hampshire. Hun.
dreds and thousands of the best and most
thoughtful Democrats in the various locali-
ties are ready and determined hereafter to
act with the party of patriotism, principle
and progress. These will many times
make good all defeotions in our ranks occa
stoned by the departure of disappointed
and unprincipled renegades, and insure a
triumphant majority for Grant and Wilson
on the 5th of November. 1t seemed to be
the unanimous conviction of the members
Of the committee that, with proper effort
from now until the election, our majority
can hardly be less than five thousand, and
may reach seven, eight, or even ten thou
sand votes"

A southerner on the Presidency

In letter, dated October 8, Colonel l..
G. Norvell, of Pass Christian, La, says !:
:" The elections yesterday settle the conflict
for President. General Grant will sweep
the entire North, East, and West, leaving
the contest between the North and South,
for the Democratic party is dead.
Will the South keep up the conflict? l
hope not. Will they forever close the
chasm by voting unanimously for Grant
and Wilson? l hope so. This course
will leave no room for doubts, and must
commend the Southern people to the gene
rosity of the whole North.
We have tried all other means but this,
and as the South wanted Republican
President, not Democrat, why not COM
promise on General Grant cheerfully, no.
bly,, magnanimously? Believing that they
will, that the conflict will soon end, and
that we shall have prosperous, happy,
united country once more, am, very
truly, &c.

POLITICAL DISCUSSION IN MANCHES-
TER.--A large and intelligent audience
convened at the courthouse in Manchester
last night, for the purpose of listening to a
joint discussion Of the political issues of
the day, between Major JOS. Walker, re-
presenting the Republican side, and Col.
w. P. Burwell representing the Conserva-
tive side. -, - -.
Col. Burwell led off, and tried to give
some good reasons why Horace should re-
ceive the support of the Virginia people.
The development of the material interests
of the State, the educational and social
elevation of the people and suppression of
the carpet-bagger and scalawag were among
the most important.
He was followed by Major Walker, who
spoke with power and ability that swept
away the sophistries of the Colonel, and
left not one reason he had assigned
unriddled. Major Walkers speech
was conceded by the Conservatives
themselves to have been one of the very
best they had ever listened to, and was re-
ceived on the Republican side of the house
with the highest enthusiasm. Cheer after
cheer shook the building as he thrust home
his telling truths.
After this discussion closed, Major
Worthington and Captain Clopton address,
ed the meeting, which closed about IL
O'Clock with mutual good feeling. The
meeting was ably and impartially presided
over by DR.. l.. r. Chiles, who has the
thanks of the entire Republican party pre-
sent.

To the Retail Dealers Of RIchmopd

You will observe from a report of the
late meeting of the Retail Dealers Pro-
tective Association" that I have been
elected its permanent presiding officer, q
position which | should positively decline
were there to be found another willing to
undertake its onerous and exacting duties.
But Notwithstanding my ill health and the
poor abilities | shall bring to bear in the
discharge of the obligations imposed upon
me by my acceptance of this responsible
post, trust that you will not find reason
to regret the confidence placed in me.
So laudable cause as that in which we
are all embarked, demands of us reasonable
sacrifice. An organization which excludes
from its deliberations, politics, religion,
and nationality, and which has for its
prime object the protection of the retail
trade, must surely appeal with convincing
force to every one of you. Let our watch.
word be in the future /" Protection from
rings, cliques and combinations"
l shall not now discuss the necessity for
an organization, such as that which bears
the name above mentioned, because that
necessity must be apparent to even the
dullest mind. The examples of other
classes OF our community are before us, in
the formation of Chamber Of Commerce,
Corn and Flour Exchange, Tobacco
Exchange, a Trades Union, Coopers' and
Timers Association, all Of which have
for their immediate object the protection of
their respective members. The retail deal
ers of Richmond would be recreant t,
their trusts, and unworthy of the high char
acter they have ever sustained inthis COM
munity, were they not to come up manfu..
ly to the support of this association.
Let us come together then as men who
know our rights, and knowing dare main.
tain. Guided by reason, wisdom and JUS
tice, and by happy community Of inter-
est, let us build up the retail trade on a
proper basis, SO that its future shall not be
doubtful of issue, but peaceful, prosperous
and long enduring.
Attend then en- masse your meetings let
every branch of the retail trade, from every
section Of the city and suburbs, be repre-
scented on these occasions.
Due notice Of the same will apprise YOU
in the proper place in the columns of the
daily press. TIMOTHY KERsE.
