ADMIRABLE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT
The Wilmington Journal of the 18th in
slant, contains an able leader of nearly
four columns in length, giving an outline
of the Kirk war upon the people of North
Carolina in 1870, with the principal events
chat transpired during Governor Holden's
administration.
This article would prove a powerful
campaign document, and we would sug-
gest to the State Executive Committee to
take steps to have it printed in pamphlet
form, and distributed over the State.
Maj. Engelhard has done the people of
North Carolina real service by present
ing, so suecinctly and forcibly, the leading
acts in that terrible drama enacted upon
North Carolina soil, which has left an in
delible stain upon the character Of our
State Government, and which will render
infamous in history the wicked crusade
against the liberties Of the people.
We regret that our limited space viii not
allow us to give in full this admirable doc
ument We will endeayor to find room
for extracts from it, from time to time

VALUABLE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT
We find in the Wilmington Journal of
Tuesday last, an able editorial of four col
umns in length, giving a succinct history
of the HoldenKirk war in this State to-
gether with other enormiLies Of Holdens
infamous administration, SD warmly en-
dOrsed by the late Radical Convention
This article should be read from every
stump in the State, in order to let the peo-
pie know what they may expect from the
candidates of a Convention that endorsed
such outrageous and atrocious villainies.-

GEOGRAPHICAL PUzzLE.-We find the
following ingenious puzzle in an exchange
and publish it here for the benefit Of our
juvenile friends:
was awakened one morning by Chi
nese seaport, and as the air was a country
Of South America, | wrapped myself in my
cloak made of part of the Chinese empire,
and lined with cape in the southern part
of the United States, and busted myself in
a town on the Schuylkill, until an island
east of Labrador called me to breakfast.
A group of islands on the Gulf Of Mexico
burned brightly on the hearth, ard another
group lying west of Africa greeted me with
a cheerful song.
Soon a lake of North AmericG brought
in breakfast, which consisted Of ali Asiatic
country, and river OF British America
we'll seasoned with a lake in the western
part Of North America, and a South Amer
| lean city. TO these were added group of
islands in the Pacific, and a plentiful ror-
| ton of an island in the Atlantic.
AS l am naturally fond of another group
! of islands in the Pacific, l chatted with a
/ city in Ohio, and after | had satisfied my
! appetite, which was at first a town in the
| southern part Of New Hampshire, l ate a
| large group of islands east of India with
j her. As she was suffering with a head
! ache, l bathed her head witty city on the
Rhine, but stopped suddenly, on discover
ing that the North American lake was a
Chinese city!
| assured him that he never would OBJ
tain a city in the western part Of Missouri
unless he nended his ways, although my
disposition toward him was a group oi
islands in the Pacific; but should his con-
duct prove satisfactory he might look for
ward with an African cape to obtaining a
town in Kentucky in due time.
| | then went out and enjoyed New
foundland cape, after a lake Of Brit sl
America, and after returned, tin!ing that
the children were making a New y ork
! lake, l sent them all to bed, after wishing a
/ good deal Of Scottish cape upon them.
