Charles O'COnOr.

A very ill-timed and ill-advised letter
from this impracticable man, will be found
in our Geographic columns this morning.
Unless we are very much mistaken, the
Democratic portion of the people of the
United States are very far from being in
the humor just now to tolerate with pa
thence such attacks upon Mr.. Greeley.
We feel sure that the utter contempt and
indifference Mr. O'Couor manifasts for the
wrongs and outrages inflicted upon the
people of the South, will destroy any in
fluence he may have possessed in days
gone by with the people in this section.
Our people are not now in the temper to
forgive or to forget any one who had any
part in bringing about our defeat on last
Tuesday, no matter whether they called
themselves straight-out Democrats, or
straight-out Radio ais.

MIR. A. II. Stewards Views On MI. Gree.
ley and the Financial Policy Of the
Administration.

The administration orators and press
have been ha-d at work trying to convince
the people that the election of Mr.. Greeley
to the Presidency would prove disastrous
to the national finances and business of the
country, and, at the same time, have
praised extravagantly the financial policy
of Secretary Boutwell, and the Republican
party. Believing that our great New York
merchant, Mr.. A. Il. Stewart, was fully
competent to judge of this matter, and that
if he expressed an opinion he would DO 50
honestly, We sent a reporter to ascertain
his views. The interview we published
yesterday shows that lie has no apprehen-
SiOns from the election of Mr.. Greeley.
When asked if be thought Mr.. Greeley's
election would be likely to produce uEeasi-
ness and difficulty in the financial affairs of
the country he answered emphatically, IL
do not" and then added, "Why should it
lead to difficulty" Then with regard to
the tariff question he did not think Mr..
Greeley's election would Cause any trouble.
81 think, he remarked, "Mr. Greeley
leaves that question where it always
should be left-with the people, through
their members of Congress, uncon-
trolled by party dictation. l have
always contended that the tariff laws,
to which our country looks for its
revenue, should be dictated wholly by rules
of equity and justice, and so as to bear
equally in their application upon all inter
ests and classes. Take Off the party whip,
allow the members Of Congress to consult
The general interests OF their respective
constituents i'll framing the tariff laws, and
believe we should find every interest
much better served and protected than it
Tow is" Mr.. Stewart said ne never could
le irn that Mr.. Boutwell, had any special
financial views on policy. He thought the
sooner the Secretary ceasei purchasing
government bonds not yet due at large
premium tie better, and The sooner it is
understood that the government intends
to enter upon policy which at some future
time, no matter how remote, will lead to
resumption Of specie payments, the better
it will be for everybody. He added, that
continuing the course which has been pur-
sued the last four years will never lead as
to specie payments, but would leave every
merchant at the mercy of the gold gam
blers. 1t is evident, then, that DIR. Stewart
does not approve Of the financial policy of
the administration, and that he has no fear
of any injury to business or the country
should Mr.. Greeley be elected. In this,
too, he probably expresses the sentiment
Of the majority of the business community,
Notwithstanding the assertions Of the party
press and party politicians to the contrary.

The Camden Journal says: Any one
who looks at our cotton fields aud sees the

lieve that an immense crop will be made,
but the more careful and wary planters re-
gardnff the effect of drouth and rust, blight
and the caterpillar, will tell you that the
crop will not be more than an average one.

communicated to the lint room and tia

Remarkable Controversy.

A mosrwonderful pathological controversy
recently occurred in Wales. Between Mr..
Rosser and Mr.. Morgan Evans arose dis
cussiOn as to the true way Of spelling the
name of the village of Llyyggfiwwdvaur.
Mr.. Morgan Evans was for rendering the
eleventh letter 3D." while Mr.. Rosser
contended that it should be "v,', so that
the word would be properly spelled Llyy-
ggffwwvvaur! AS Mr.. Rosser couldn't
bring Mr.. Evans to his way Of thinking by
fair words, the peperly gentleman procured
some hot lime from an adjoining building.
and rubbed it into Mr.. Morgan Evans ewes
by way of opening them we suppose.
Whether, when he RECEIVERS the use Of his
ocular organs, he will spell the word ''Llyy-
ggffwwdvaur" or Llyyggfwwvvaur'' re-
mains to be seen; but at present the obstin-
ate Mr.. Morgan Evans is blind, while the
learned Mr.. Nathaniel Rosser is in Jail.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER IL, 1872.

INIEss than thirty days the Presiden-
tial campaign will have closed. 1t there
fore time for us to be up and doing all we
can do to organize victory.
Recognising the fact that many good men
needed time for reflection to enable them
80 far to overcome the dislike of long years
as to vote for Horace Greeley, and know
ing that all political interest would centre
in the elections of to-day in other States,
we have purposely RETAINED from calling
upon the people to begin the active work
of the canvass in North Carolina.
As wo foresaw would be the Case
there are but few men having the good OF
the country at heart who refuse TO
support Mr.. Greeley. The logic OF events
has convinced them, and we may now de-
vote ourselves to the practical details Of our
party organization.
AS we have said, the first step is to or
ganize a GREELEY and BROWN Club il
each township, with President and Secrc'
tary. See to it that every GREELEY man il
the township belongs to the Club and has
his name upon its rolls. 1t is surely al
easy matter to do this, if the leading meI
in each township will take hold Of the mat
ter. Each Club ought to meet at leas
once a week, and have speakers to max
addresses.
If in addition to this the Clubs wilt com
municate with the County Executive Com
mittee and act in concert with its member
in circulating documents, in seeking ate
and exposing frauds in registration, /
making arrangements for getting the lam
and the sick to the polls and in preventin
fraudulent voting, we will carry the Stat
by handsome majority.
Work Work! Work This must be tn
cry until the end of the campaign.
Remember that the same law will COVER
the Presidential election that governed th
Gubernatorial election in August last.

Defend Your Health.

The fall of the leaves not only symbolizes
human decay, but promotes it. IN other words,
the effluvia from dying and rotting vegetation
is unfavOTable to health. To this and other
eau Ges-especially excess of moisture in the at
mosphere-may be ascribed the prevalence of
acute disorders of the stomach, bowels and
liver at this season. Every person OF bilious
habit is liable to be very bilious in the fall.
Then, too, all persons whose digestion is weak
are moro than ordinarily dyspeptic, and indi-
viduals predisposed to collie, diarrhnea and dys-
entery are particularly likely to be attackedby
til sse complaints. The most complete defence
merts is bodily vigor. To obtain this blessing
in all its plentiful lie where 1t does not exist, and
to preserve and perpetuste it where it does ex-
isl, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is earnestly
recommended. 1t is the peculiar Office of this
preparation to reinfoi and regulate the i'm
portant organs which digest and temper the
food, and convert it into DEMONSTRATING blood
Bodily vigor depends upon the nourishing
qualities of that fluid, and the nutritiousness of
the blood depends upon the functional activity
and regularity which it is the special province
OF the Bitters to secure. Hence it is the best
defence of health at this season, and indeed at
all seasons. When dysentery, diarrhaea, bilious
collie, and other violent affections of the bow.
els, becOue epidemic, as they often do in GER
tain parts of the country N the fall, it will be
found that persons who have beer wise enough
to resort to the Bitters a preventive are al
most invariably exempted from the scourge.

May l not appeal to you to let 10 false
pride, no narrow prejudice, no unreason-
ing passion stand between you and the
duty you owe your country ? May not
remind you that bOuntiful providence
has cast your lot in pleasant places and
blessed YOU with institutions more benef=
cent, when rightly administered, than ever
before were enjoyed by mankind. May l
not tell you that these blessings impose
upon you corresponding duties and that
you cannot enjoy the Que without the per-
Torrance of the other; that you cannot
long prosper if you assist in crushing the
prosperity of others that you cannot re-
main free if you ally yourselves with tyr

serve self-gOvernment if you renounce
your right and let others choose your ru-
lers. The prosperity of the South is
crushed for The time being, and the whole
republic feels the injury. 1t is your duty
to aid in restoring her prosperity. Upon
her fair bosom the heel of the oppressor is
placed. 1t is your duty to see that it be
speedily removed. Selfgovernment is in
