country, so imperative in their character
that they demanded, and obtained, the
disruption of party that for twelve
years had ruled with absolute sway
We answer that they were necessity for
civil service reform, a necessity for a
stricter regard for the rights and liberties
Of the citizen, and a necessity for return
to Constitutional Government.
We do not assert, nor do we believe, that
the Literal Republican movement owes its
inception or its early success to any
friendly or fraterLal feeling on the part of
Northern men for Southern men. The
necessities that Northern men felt were
not the necessities of the South, but of
themselves.
1t was not because the civil service was
a by-word and reproach to humanity, in
its corruption in the South, that Northern
men became Liberal Republicans. It was
not because Southern men were arrested
and imprisoned and tortured and hung
that Northern men became Liberal Repub-
hcans. 1t was not because the unlawful
usurpation of powers not delegated to it
by the States or by the people, enabled the
Federal Government to disregard and
abolish States lines and States rights in the
South, that Northern men became Liberal
Republicans. Not at all. What operated
upon Northern hearts was the danger that
menaced Northern homes. And it is for
this very reason that we have so much
hope and confidence in its strength,
solidity and permanence. And, indeed,
the movement did not begin day too
soon.
The stencil Of the Custom House Frauds
in New York had reached the whole civil
lied world.
Colonel Grosvenor, a prominent citi-
zen, had been shot down and killed
While in the peaceful pursuit of his
lawful business, upon the public streets
Of the city of Chicago, by troops
unlawfully raised and acting under orders
from Lieutenant General Sheridan, him
self in unlawful military occupation of the
city. And Sheridan's conduct had been
endorsed and officially commended, in
public orders, by the General commanding
the army of the United States.
In three~ States, at least, in New Y ork,
in Pennsylvania, and in Illinois, in de-
fiance Of their Governors and in utter dis
regard Cf their rights and of the rights of
the people thereof, Federal troops had
openly exercised usurped functions.
These were the necessities that impe'led
thinking men, who loved themselves, their
personal liberty and the rights of their
States more than they loved the Radical
party, to sever themselves from it and to
| inaugurate the Liberal Republican move
ment.
Such are the men with whom we have
forned an alliance, and such are the
objects aimed at. If, by our united efforts,
We can attain them, no man will deny
that the fruits of Mr.. Greeley's election
will be fully commensurate. with the sac
iifce made in his nomination.
The South asks no mole.

heavy disaster, as they would have done,
had they been as backward as usual, at this

party. The Vermont election had no po-
liiical significance and created little or no
interest.
The contest in Maine, though conducted
by the friends of Mr.. GREELEY with much
and increasing interest, can result only in
Radical triumph, probably bJ a reduced
majority, and with a gain of two and, pos
siOly, Of three members of Congress for the
Democracy.
We see it stated that Senator Trumbull,
who has just returned from a canvass of
Maine, expresses the opinion that the
election there ON Monday next will be very
close, with the chances in favor Of the
election Of the Radical candidate for Gov
ernor.
In Indiana and Pennsylvania all the in
dicatiOns are that the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans will be successful in
the October elections. Ohio is doubtful,
with the prospect of very large gains in the
representatives to Congress. 1t is, how
ever, too soon to gather much definite
information from these States. After the
Maine election both parties win turn their
entire attention to these three great States,
and it is more than probable that the
Presidential election will be virtually de-
cided in this great preliminary battle.
The friends of Mr.. GREELEY very rea-
sonably, we think, claim as certain for him
the States of New York, Missouri, Wiz
ginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Texas, Ten
nessee and Georgia, giving a total of one
hundred and ten electoral votes, fifty-tWo
less than the requisite number. West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Delaware, Connecticut
and Indiana, casting thirty-seven votes, are
almost certain for GREELEY, while his
chances in New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Illinois
are better than those of Grant. There yet
remains Louisiana, Arkansas, Ohio and
Florida as debateable ground, to say moth
ing Of Wisconsin, Nebraska, California
and Oregon, from which our advices are
not so definite, but in which the Liberal
movement is making much headway.
We have much to hope for. Har-
monious action and enthusiastic work
will achieve a glorious victory for the
future peace and prosperity of the county.

And the following, from his letter a.
cepting the nomination for the Presidency
"In this faith, and with the distinct un-
derstanding that if elected, shall be the
President, not of party, but of the whole
people. L accept your nomination in the
confident trust that the masses of our
countrymen, North and South, are eager
to clasp hands across the bloody chasm,
which las too long divided them, forgetting
that they Lave been enemies, in the joyful
consciousness that they are, and must
henceforth remain, brethren.
And following from his recent Portland
speech
{" From those who support me in the
South, / have heard but one demand
justice but one desire-reconciliation
They wish to be heartily reunited and at
peace with the North, on any terms which
do not involve the surrender of their man
hood. They ask that..they shall be regarded
and treated by any federal authority as
citizens--not culprits-so long as they obey
and uphold every law consistent with
equality and right. They desire a rule
which, alike for white and black, shall
encourage indust and thrift, and discotlr-
courage rapacity and villainy. They
cherish joyful hope, in which L fully con.
cur, that between the 9Th of November and
the 4th of Marsh next, quite a number of
Governors and other dignitaries, who, in
the absurd name of Republicanism and
loyalty, have for years been piling debts
and taxes upon their war-wasted States,
and follow the wholesome example of Bull
lock, of Georgia, and seek the shades of
private life-the darker and deeper those
shades, the better for themselves and for
mankind. The hope that my election may
hasten the much desired hiegira of thieving
carpet-baggers, has reconciled to the neces-
sity Of supporting me many who would
otherwise have hesitated and probably re-
fused.''

Will GreeIey's Election Benefit Us

It has been so long since we enjoyed
the benefits of a free government, that we
can scarcely appreciate in its fullest extent
the change in our affairs that the election
of Mr.. Greeley will bring about. We have
been so long accustomed to official inter
ference with Our liberties as citizens and in
so many ways we have been SO long ac-
customcd to official plumber of our proper
ty, and in so many ways, and all without
remedy or redress, that if an era of free
constitutional government should all at
once return, we would doubtless feel like
men who had just walked up i'll some for
eign Land of such strange beauty and sur
passing brightness, as to make them doubt
the evidence of even their waking senses !!
1t Will indeed be a strange sensation, but
none the less pleasing, when North Car
Gilman can once more tread the soil upon
which he was born, and in which lie the
bones of his ancestors, and feel that he is
free man; that the government under
which he lives is organized, that the laws
are framed, and that justice is administer
innocent, and not for their oppression.
1t will indeed be a strange sight when
we can enter our courts Of justice and
once more see upon the bench men like
CASTOR, and Manly, and Ruffin, and
Badger, instead of men like Tourgee, and
Watts, and Logan, and Henry, and Rod
man. and Peason, and Reade, who are an
offence and stencil in the nostrils OF all
who honor North Carolina, and look with
shame upon her judicial errnine, dragged
in the mire OF partizan strife or dissraced
by corruption, cowardice, drunkenness or
ignorance.
1t will be a rare feelieg of relief TO know
that the horde of vUlltures, calling them
selves Revenue officers, who have SO long
preyed upon the very vitals of the State,
have forever taken their flight !: to know
that the foul brood of spies no longer in
tests the land, catching UP mems words
and dogging their paths; to know that
Deputy United States Marshals no longer
roam over the land-their pockets filled
with blank warrants and clothed with
power to arrest and imprison innocent
nen and young children and delicate
women!
1t will be a safe feeling, that will possess
a man, when he realizes that the writ Of
Habeas Corpus cannot be suspended; thai
| the rule of the statute book has takeI
the place of the rule of the bayonet!
When all these things come to pass, the
| times will indeed seem strange. That they
are benefits no man will deny, but will the
election of Mr.. Greeley bring them about
This is the great question for Us OF the
South to decide for if they are to follow
Mr.. Greeley's election it will plainly be ou
duty to vote for him regardless of old pei
sonal or partizan prejudice.
These great blessings, of which even tn
anticipated possession makes the futur
look SO bright and hopeful to us, can b.
summed up in single word almost, peac
and constitutional government!
