AMONG the distinguished strangers who
addressed the people ut Weldon, on Friday
last, no che received, as no one deserved TO
receive, more cordial and hcalty welcome
than Senator Stockton, of New Jersey. A
disiin ouishcd scion cf 4 distinguished stock,
himself 4 statesman Of 40 mean OF untricd
ability, ever 4 stern and strenuous sup
porter of Constitutional Government, and
even in the darkest hour Of her adversely a
bold, olItsrukcn, uuwayering, untiinching
friend Of the South, he Unitcs in his own
person, at this time, perhaps, as many Gle
merits OF personal popularity as any
stranger who has ever visited our State.
Clay and Webster, and Polk, if they can
he called strangers, came among us each
as the representative Of a political party ,
That by no means held undivided sway IN
North Carolina. The welcome accO- -dcd
to these gentlemen, cordial and demOnstra-
tive, rs it was, was partizan rather than u
popular ovation.
But when, rs thcy listen TO the elo-
qucnt words Of Senator Stockton, and re-
member lis brave deeds, the hearts of our
people 90 out to linn spontaneously, it is
not because he appeals TO them us q parti-
zan, for par,jzans in Olden times ever
found in our State political foes as we'll AZ;
political friends, aud that too among good
and true men. It is because he comes be
fore us rs a man who, from the day and
the hour when patriotism swallowed up
all mere politics, has maintained his integ-
rity without Tcproach, and without the
suspicion of reprOach, III defence Of the
rights of North Carolina rs guaranteed to
us by the Constitution Of our common an
cestoIs because, though citizen of the
North. he las ever been true friend OF
the South.
1t seems i sure earnest Of better days
for such men to come among us. We have
for long years been passing through ter
rible ordeal. 1t would have been unnat-
llral had not our people grown despondent,
had they not almost come to believe that
every mans hand was against them. We
do indeed need, and sOrcly need, words OF
comfort and Cl4cer to revive our dropping
spirits.
Those words, words that bring back to
us all our Wontcd life and viGCr, have come
to us i'll the nomination of Greeley and
Brown, and in the ssurances of such men
rs Senator Stockton that the action of the
Baltimore Convention gives certain prom
ise of peace and Constitutional Gov
eminent.
1t lessons not our regard for the
distinguished Senator, that he tells us
Mr.. Greeley was not his personal or po-
litical preference, and that he yields his
own wishes to those so unanimously eN-
pressed by the South, and that he sacrifices
whatever Of political prejudice lie might
have, III order that the relief may be at
forded TO the South, thai its condition so
imperatively demGHds.
We sincerely trust that another opportu-
nifty will be afforded to our people to hear
Senator Stockton and to manifest the
kindly feelings they entertain for him.

Governor Caldwell as a War Man.

Governor CR10WeAI AS - HdE AHeH"
We publish in another column letter
from member of Company "1" OF the
10th Regiment of North Carolina Troops,
giving the substance, if not the words, OF
Governor Caldwell, in addressing that
Regiment when called upon to so into
action.
1t will, doubtless, surprise many of our
colored friends, especially, to learn that
Governor Caldwell ever uttered such sem
uments. 1t would be well, however, for
them TO pause and consider while how
far the declarations oftheir candidates agree
with their acts.
Caldwell declares now that he was always
a Union man. Yet in 1861 he told the gal
liant fellows of the 10th Regiment, 4" If you
turn your backs to the enemy, woe unto
you Don't come home; you will get no
comfort there. The women will put you
in petticoats and drum you out of the
county,"
During the war Neill Mckay advised
everybody TO go into the army. Now he
says he saw almost from the first day of
the war that the South would be over
powered, and that he was unwilling to risk
himself before the bullets of the enemy, in
behalf of doomed cause. He advised
others to go into battle, knowing that battle
meant death and defeat, and kept out his
own body. He now once more asks the
people to follow his advice
Are such men as these to be trusted

We possess 4 clear majority OF the legal
voters in North Carolina, and all that is
necessary, is for us to go to the polls in full

this, the victory will be ours beyond dis

The question is, however, will we do this?
Upon the answer hangs the destiny Of
North Carolina.
We will not, We cannot, bring ont our
full strength unless we go to work syste-
matically and organize our forces. Espe-
ciaIly is this organization necessary in the
"townships y or precincts, as we hope soon
TO call them. We call upon our friends to
ask themselves if they are doing anything
i'll this matter, and if they be forced in
honesty to answer that nothing is being
done, let them Lot rest fora moment until
something is done. Are there any men in

ESPECIAL TO TIE JOURNAL.

RALEIGH, July 1G.
The Greeley and Brown Ratification
Mass Meeting, held here to-day, was
grand success. There were over 5000 per-
SONS present, and the enthusiasm was Iun-
bounded. Speeches were made by eN-
Senator DOolittle, of Wisconsin, ex-senator
Miller, of Georgia, Governor Walker, of
Virginia, Ex-Governor Graham, of North
Carolina, Senator Upton, of Nebraska,
and General w. II. Cox, Judge FOwlc,
Can't. j. j. Davis and Col. Masdcn, Of
North Carolina.
Ex-senator DOOlittle spoke at some
length in regard to the tendency of Il CEN
tralization of the powers Of the government
towards which the present administration
is drifting. lie reviewed the life and pub
lie services of Mr.. Greeley before the war, as
an advocate of the u Mon, the constitution
and the laws, and after the war, before the
guns of victory had silenced, he was found
battling in favor of Southern amnesty. Ills
speech was received with the greatest en-
thusiasm.
Ex-senator Miller's speech was n review
of Grants administration, especially to-
wards the Southern States. He cited cases
from Georgia, during which he handled the
administration with gloves Off 1t was,
throughout, al able effort.
Governor Walkers remarks were warmly
received. He urged upon the people OF
North Carolina the Importance OF carrying
the State election in August, in order that
North Carolina might be the banner State
for Greeley, and fire the first gun i'll the
battle that would sweep the entire nation
in November next.
Senator Upton scathingly reviewed the
acts of the administration, and feelingly re
ferred 20 other Senators who had joined
with him, by word and act, in resisting the
usurpations of the administration, and re-
ferred to Senator Wilson as a deserter from
the Liberal camp, having been bought over
by the candidacy for Vice-President.
The remarks of the other speakers were
exceedingly well received, creating,
throughout, much enthusiasm. The day
was quite gala one in Raleigh. ,.

lion was loudly asserting in lhe corridor OF
the Carrolton iIotel to-day thai ethe Repnb-
Iicans in North Carolina would have at
least 5000 majority. Some one in the
crowd doubted it, when the first man s aid,
with some earnestness, Everybody knows
that North Carolina can be bought, and
YOU don't suppose that the Administration,
having the money, will hesitate to use 1t,
do you?
This is enough to make the blood OF the
most phlegmatic man in the State boil With
rage and indignation.
"Ere,ybody k7o,gs ttat North Carolina
can be JougAt!" Thus speak and think
men who are sin the secrets of the Admin
istration." If our people submit tameiy 70
this insult, they can never more hold up
their heads among honest men. Ii they
do not Indignantly hurl back the vile slam
der by repudiating the Administl alton ana
the "men who are III its Secrets" they. viii
dcservedly so down to everlasting iniamy.
The "mcn who are in the secrets of the
Administration" doubtless justify the opIn-
ion that ''North Carolina can be bought
from their knowledge of the character OF
its supporters. There is long list OF
names Of men, native here and TO the man
ner born, who give color TO the degrading
| declaration that everybody knows thai
North Carolina can be bought. Pearson
Pool, Rodman, Settle, Dick, Reade

and Caldwell are men who make true
North Carolinians hang their heads IL

are, we regret 10 say, part and parccl G
our own people, and the only way in whic
We can escape the disgrace that overwhelm
them Is to TGpudlate, IN the plalnest man
ner possible, their shameful conduct.
There is a great contest now going on i
our State. On The one side is arrayed tn
honesty and integrity and that ''intell
gcnce" that Mr.. Mckay calls upon h
partizaLs to "vCte down." These me
cannot be bought. On the other side W
find ignorance, corruption and vcnality {
every description. These men not Onl
can, but actually are daily bought, on
with one brihe, another with ditlercl
bribc, yet all with bribeS.

there can be no registration on election

win the fight.
We have new evidence every day
of the design of the enemy to carry
the election by fraud, and it becomes
us therefore, to watch them all the more
closely. The victory will be ours with pro-
per exertion on our part, unless it be Wrest-
ed from us by force or fraud. But we must
work increasingly and leave nothing to
chance. We intend to repeat this INDUCTION
until the polls close. Work increasingly
and leave nothing to chance.
There are nincty-three counties IN the
State. 1t may be safely estimated that al
average of at least twenty votes to The

The following article, taken from tie
New y ork Iyibuac, is 50 full Of Good I,ald
common sense, that We publish il entire i'll
our editorial columns. Let every man read
it carefully and ponder We'll the advice it
contains, and the reasons therefor.
If peace and good order reign III North
Carolina during this campaign, no amount
of money can buy our majority from us.
All sorts Of bribery, and fraud, aud cor"up-
tion will be attempted, but we do not fear
the result.
The friends Of She Grant-Administra-
ton, it is said, think that a large mass of
the people of North Carolina are rude and
unlettered, and that therefore they can be
bought like sheep and hogs at 50 mach a
head.
1t may be that there is a large mum
Der Of unlettercd men in North Carolina,
especially young men. II is natural that
there should be.
For four years our young men were l.ght-
ing the battles of their country, at least
those who were old enough to do so; those
who were not old enoughto fight, were kept
at home to fill, rs far us possible, the places
OF those who, at tue call OF their State, had
gone to do battle in her defence. Since
then the Radicals have been III power and
have squandered in reckless extravaganza
the money they ought to have appropri-
ated to the EDUCATION of our youth. Fol
near twelve years our people have been lie
prived of proper educational facilities. 1t
would be strange indeed, if tAis long COM
mon school famine should not be felt.
1t may be that according to the fashion
of this day our people are rude 1t is iIt-
deed true, that we do not wear purple and
fine linen; that we do not ride out IN fine
carriages drawn by fine horses that we
cannot smoke imported cigars, and drink
imported brandies and wines. five are rude
barbarians because we do none OF these
things, we are indeed rude. Radical 1ale
and oppression and eXtrayaganee have
forced us to be as content as We may with
plain food and plain clothes, plain ruin and
high taxes. .... .5fa 4..ssas-a II ID
But while this is so, we tell the Ratlica
party, i'll and out of the State, that it ill
becomes them to snecr at the people Of
North Carolina for being rude ard inlet

mind that although the Conservatives have
effected this great rcdu uctiOn in the eX-

are in possession of only one of the three
departments of government. The Con
servatlves hold the Legislature, but the
Radicals still retain the Executive and
