A LEssoN.-The most marked charac.
teristic that of late the leaders of the
Republican party have exhibited, has
been positive defiance and disregard
of public opinion and most erroneous
estimate of its power. For some time
past it has been the custom OF these
men, from Grant downwards, to speak
disparagingly of the public press and to
make insulting and derogstory observa-
tons concerning it. This showed how
shallow and short-sighted these men
were. As a general rule. newspapers re-
fleet more or less correctly the popular
opinions of the day. This being the
case, it is evident that when these poll.
ticians spoke in disparaging terms of the
criticisms of the press. they were really
assaulting the opinions of the very power
of whom these men were the creatures.
A power that could make and unmake
them by the mere expression of its will
However, this was not believed; they
were arrogant in their pretensions and
self-esteem, and thought that they could
coerce the very authors of their political
being. But as scripture says, pride
goeth before fall" and Heaven knows
that they were proud enough. and we
all know what fearful fall they were
compelled to endure. Let us hope it
will be a lesson to them and teach them
better sense for. the future.

SENATOR DAVIS SPEECH.

We present another section OF this
speech to our readers this morning. 1t
still keeps up its straightforward, unan-
swerable, overhauling of the misdcedS OF
the Administration and the party in
power. All of it should be read and
pondered, but we wish to call special at
tention to the table in which is set forth
the millions of dollars which have been
stolen from the already impoverished
Southern States by the Radicals who
have controlled them.
Our opponents try feebly to get up
cries of extravaganza against the Demo-
Gratis in this State, yet here, under Dem
ocratic rule, the debt is counted by thou
sands, and most of this accumulated by
the Radicals themselves, while in those
States which have been under their eX-
elusive control for years, the debt Is
counted by millions. Yet with such a
record, they call upon our voters to up
hold them in October. II can't be tone

CHARLES JAMES FAULKNER.

As will be seen by our special dispatch
last night from the Convention held at
Piedmont, Mineral county, Mr.. FAULK-
NER received the nomination, after a
close contest with his rival, Mr.. MARTIN.
This latter gentleman occupies the same
position in his district (the second as does
Colonel WILSON in this. Two years ago
he claimed to have been legally elected;
went to Washington and CALAMITY fought
the battle of his party. For this reason
he had hosts of friends anxious that the
same justice should be meted out to him
that was bestowed upon Colonel WILSON
II was for this that Mr.. FAULK-
NER met with so much opposition in his
nomination.; but having been doubtless
for good and sufficient cause, selected.
Mr.. MARTIN, following the noble ex-
smples already set, pledged his influence
and support to carry the nominee into
Congress in despite of factious boilers
and organized Radical opposition. lnthis
course he has but added to the debt ofgrati-
tude already due him by his party. Mr..
faulkner is one of the old representa-
tivcs of sterling Democracy. He has
seen much of political and public lie,
and was Minister tn France during Pres
idcnt BuCHANANs administration.
His experience and attachment to the
principles of his party will enable him
10 do honor and credit in the next |. :.
Congress, to his constituents.

The National Telegraph of the 18th,
one of the leading Radical papers in this
State, contains very lengthy editorial
from its editor, Mr.. r. S. NORTHcoTT,
pitching freely into his party. He is
mad with it, and its course, and wants 1t
not to call any nominating convention.
Our Radical friends, it seems, present by
no means an instance of brethren dwell
ing together in unity. Says Mr.. NORTH
COLT:
I'VE earnestly hope that the good
sense Of the masses of the people will
lead them to ignore the proposed conven-
ton
We hope so too, and have an abiding
faith that they will ignore totally the
convention and its nominations. Thus
Mr.. NoRTHcOTT and ourselves will both
be gratifed.

THE EXISTING RACE CONFLICT

Undc: the legislation which has here
tnture prevailed in the government of
the Southern States, bad rs it Is, the
whites and blacks Of that section had &C.
cepted the situation, and were living to-
gether, if not entirely tremendously, at
least upon a pretty fair understanding.
The negro had began to comprehend the
fact that the carpet-bagger was about the
poorest friend he could possibly have;
that the white owner of the soil,
and leader in all species of business, was
the one with whom his interest was most
intimately connected, and having begnn to
realize the fact that social equality was a
thing so much against nature,
that it could never be obtained.
He was pretty well under way, In enjoy
ing his guaranteed rights, and was really
beginning his course towards prosperity.
Noticeably was this the case in those
States whereth whites predominated, and
while in such localities rs South Carolina
where carpet baggism and such scala
wsGs as MOSES held rule, the condition
was deplorable, even there it was
beginning to be felt that, after while
matters would come right, and the color
ed man made no sign towards entering
into any open act of hostility. Every
where the rights guaranteed tothe negro;
rights to hold property; to sue and be
sued to serve on juries; 10 have his child
rem educated in the public schools, &cS
were enjoyed by him, and at last
it was hoped that out of the chaos into
which Congress had plunged this section,
little order was making itself mani
fest.
In fact, the South was getting along
too well to suit her Radical enemies.
Something must be done to check her
prosperity, as a section, or she would
very soon be a power in the land. So

the brains of Mr.. SuNsER, ever fertile N
schemes Of this mature, was SET to work
and a supplementary Civil Rights Bill
ives the result. This was the Ere brand nt
to stir up luminosity, 10 reproduce chaos;
to destroy growing prosperity. 1t was
taken up and passed by CHARLES SUM
NER's body, (the Senate) over his dead
body; but the mischief it would work was
too great for two-thirds of the House OF
Representatives to be will
ing - to cast at present,
upon the land, so they refused to
suspend the rules, and concur in the
measure, but left it IN the hands of the
Committee of the Judiciary, with leaveto
report it at ana time. This was not done
however, from any lack of disposition on
the part of the majority to pass the bill.
They feared least it might be the
means of hurting them from power, so
they let the matter stand over, to see how
the people would act at the elections this
fall. Unless then, by a positive, out
spoken determination at the polls to dis
countenance the measure by not voting
for any one even affiliating with the Rad
icals. we may safely count on its becoming
law. Senator Morton, the mouth
piece of his party, has already told us
that GRANT will not veto it, neither have
we the slightest ground from his course
heretofore to think that he will. Already
what has been the result? Ignorant
negroes, stirred up afresh, have gone so
far as to take up arms in several lOcali-
ties, to make war on the whites. In such
a conflict there can be but one result.
The inferior race must, under the ineyi-
table law of nature, go to the wall. The
public school system is threatened, and
children of both whites and blacks have
impending over them the taking away
from them the means of education.
1t portends injury to all, but par
ticularly to the colored people. This
must be the great issue this fall, and no
one should be deceived into thinking
otherwise. Democrats, Of course, will
vote against it, and friends of humanity
everywhere should do the same. Here
in this district the only positive unqual-
flied disapproval which can be bestowed
upon it, is by sending to Congress the
Democratic nominee, and in II body, vot-
ing for Col. WILSON.
