North Carnlina

At this date, II P. NJ, the result in North
Carolina still seems uncertain. Contradictory
dispatches follow each other in rapid success
sion. Our latest dispatches may be more
conclusive. Meanwhile, whatever the result
may be, this is certain, that North Carolina is
naturally Democratic State, and there was,
on general principles, no good ground for
making claim that it could possibly be car
ried by the Republicans. The whites largely
outnumber the colored people, and the ex-
rebel element, all of which is admitted to the
right Of suffrage by the liberal legislation of
Congress, is decidedly in preponderance. A
month ago no discreet Republican dreamed of
carrying the State, but some sanguine and
exuberant correspondents of Republican jour-
nails sent so favorable and glowing accounts
from the State that many of our friends began
to claim and to actually expect victory there.
On the morning of election, we took occa-
sion to say that we shouldn't be sanguine of
success, as the odds were so fearfully against
us. In fine, if we are beaten there. it is only
what we should have expected. We had no
more right to claim North Carolina, than Vir-
ginia or Tennessee. If we win, it will demon
strate a remarkable power in the Republican
party, and will assure to us every Southern
State with the possible exception of Tennessee,
Virginia and Kentucky.

The Firm of Pike & Emery.

Mr.. Pike, in his Belfast speech deprecated
"persoualities" and accused the Republicans
of indulging in them-citing the case of the
'third officer of the Government as he is
pleased to term Speaker Blaine. Now the
only personal remark we have seen attributed
to Mr.. Blaine was his rather mild allusion to
Marcellus Emery in Bangor and that was in
answer to falsehood published in Emery's
paper. Pixies sensiblity for Emery is affecting
but we really fear that Pike is quite too
jealous and too ready to be yoked up in the
same team with Marcellus. New converts
generally err on the side of zeal, but we
thought Mr.. Pike might have felt like an ''old
member Of the Emery fraternity as he has
been in private negotiation with them for his
own transfer ever since the Republicans left
him out OF Congress four years ago. The
nomination of Pike at Belfast by the Demo
cratic Convention was only the open ratifica-
ton of what has been in process of trade fol
a long time. For four years Mr.. Pike has had
his price and the Democracy at last agreed to
pay it. They could have had him earlier at
the same cost

Poor Sumner

Used, and when done with, to be cast away
like worthless weed, the derison of his enem-
les and the melancholy pity of his friends, this
insatiate egotist, this arrogant dictator, will
discover how little any man can effect against
truth and integrity however towering his jeal-
ously, however inveterate his hate; and he will
enable the world to note the difference between
one of Gods great-while the wise, the just
the evenly balanced, the long suffering aud pa
tent and generous man of deeds and not words
who now fills and adorns the Presidential office,
and whose name in the long hereafter of his
country's annals will be eclipsed in brightness
and glory by no other-man's great, tho politi-
clans great, the blatherskites great.
When Sumner denounced Gen. Grant as de-
serving impeachment he only impeaches him
self; when he denounces the President as a
prodigy of wickedness and baseness he does nc
harm to brave and true man, he only reveals
the true nature and real character of the Senior
Senator of Massachusetts,, and confirms the
opinion of him often and so emphatically
expressed by the late Senator Fessenden.
Said subaltern to Paul Jones, 1 will post

A Sample Lie.

The following is a sample of the falsehoods
going the rounds of the Democratic press re-
speeding the President:
We challenge any organ ofithe President to
deny that on the 18th of February, 1869, moro
than three months subsequent TO his election
MS President, the following enormous present
was gwen to Gen. Grant by Gen. Daniel But
terfield, on behalf of himself and certain other
parties in New York.
[Inclosure]
Mortgage and interest ........ $50 4s7. so
ooO9O1-3e United States bonds first SERIES "a 725O0
..........., 10 S27. so
Yes, Gen Grant received these sums Int
instead of being on the 18th of February.
1869, it was three gears earlier, or less than
year after the close of the war. These sums
were presents made lin the same spirit as
were similar ones to Gen. Mcclellan, Gen.
Sherman, Thomas, Admiral Farragut aud
others. This is a sample of the lies against
the President that are repeated daily and will
be until the close of the ramnsion.

wide awake. A call for Grant and Wilson
club is signed by 1877 voters. t..-.
Ex-Governor Hall of Bennington, vt. ,who
has been claimed by the liberal press as fol
Greeley, is out and out for Grant.
At Saratoga, Mrs H. B. Stowe told Gov
Hoffman that Greeley had gone down to Jer
icho and fallen among thieves, and that they
were just stripping him naked.
Secretary Robson intends participating in
the canvass in this State, later in the season
and efforts are making to secure the services
OF other prominent Republicans from Wash
ington.
A Republican, in conversation the othel
day with leading New York politician, in.
quired how he could bring himself as Dem.
ocrat, to vote for Horace Greeley. "Wen,'
was the reply, cit is not because we like
Greeley, but because we know we can use
him." That is the gist of the whole mat
ter. .-
The Germania, for twenty-five years a
prominent German Democratic paper OF
Cleveland, Ohio, being in fact the Oldest
German paper there, has hauled down the
Greeley and Brown ticket, and Thursday an
nounced its intention to advocate the election
of Grant and Wilson. This change has Gre
ated much excitement in Democratic circles.
and several German Democrats have threat
ened its editor, John M. Bierman, with per-
personal violence, but so far nothing has
grown out of it.

ANOTHER FALsEHooD.-Mr. William A
Richardson, Acting Secretary of the Treasury,
has answered very clearly the falsehood of the
Democratic papers concerning the expenses of
the Executive Department" These candid
critics have undertaken to prove that the ex-
pendtures of this department, which they had
represented as specially under the control of the
President, were fifty per cent. greater during
the first two years of Gen. Grants admnistra-
ton than during the last two years of Johnson's
administration. 1t now appears that, beside
grossly misstating the actual amounts COM
pared, they included under Grant So, 804 391 for
under johnson was accounted for under diff
ferent head. The truth being brought out, the
figures stand:-Two years under johnson, $16,-
1850, 5O4.05; two years under Grant, $13,019,-

A Demo-Greeleyte having reported that
there were but seven Grant men in Vassal-
boro, a Republican, well posted, replied that
of the 46S Republicans who voted for Grant
in 1868, not more than twenty will vote for
Greeley, and that about the same number of
Democrats will either bolt Greeley or vote for
Grant.
A New Gloucester correspondent writes
that but one Greeley Republican has been
found in that town, but several Democrats
have declared for Grant and throw up the
Argus for the PRESS, He says he can give
the names. There is not a copy of the
Tribune taken in the town.
James II. Parker, the member of the Mary

Mr.. EDITOR: General Fitzpatrick confesses
that when Gen. Grant was first nominated
for the presidency he did all he could to Sc
cure his election. He got an office; minister

he did not do his government or himself any
