THE NEW COUNTY.

We publish elsewhere, a circular let
icr from the Executive Committee of
the proposed new county Of Ellington
1t presents fully and distinctly the rea-
son hicb urge the people within the
lines Of tho new county to apply for a
division of New Hanover county. It's
territory, its population, its wealth,
all entitle it TO "A separate government,
and this can be done without interfer-
ring with the representation in other
parts of the State.
"e can add nothing to the claim set
NJ by the Executive Committee. They
Irescu: ..ss -,.t..> -, facts and figures
which l..'s.-: ,.ip.ess themselves upon
the miads =: me members Of the Leg
islature. The fact that nearly every
property owner and tax payer in the
county has petitioned for the new
county IS sufficient reason, we think.
for granting the petition, when in pop
ulatlon, wealth aud territory, they are
entitled to a separate county. We
commend the circular to the attentic n
of the members of the House.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTE UN-
I.RAEIN{x.

General Grant has said that the Re
publican party must unload, and he
has him elf set the example. He re-
fused to saddle his party with the Tex
as NOR strosity, and the affairs of thai
State, settled by the voters of Texas,
are quiet and orderly.
"I,ouisiana must take care OF her
self" and Pinchback will continue tc
| 10 knock at the door of the United
States Senate in vain. His party viii
not be allowed to carry any more dead
weight. The Durell usurpation Will
soon end, and its author will come t'
grief. Federal bayonets will not much
longer be employed 10 back NJ his IN
famous decress.
Tie life OF the party sheii no longer
be exhausted by the nursing OF these
monstrosities. The affairs OF the
Southern States shall not be interfer'
red with by corrupt Judges and med
ling army officers. The President de-
clares himself tired of such ''non-
sense The people, also, begin to tire
of it, which Is more to the purpose.
But how about the Civil Rights
This. We suppose, is not monstros-
ity, nor is its agitation T. 'tnonsense. =
There is 10 dead weight" connected
with it. The denial of the right OF
State to manage its own domestic
affairs, will not be burden upon the
Republican party. We doubt if the
measure will receive the sanction OF
the more conservative portion Of fhe
party at tho North. In this State the
white Republicans in the Legis-
Iat;re have declared their fixed
and open opposition to it in a
formal vote, aud its passage will
rend the party asunder i'll North Caro-
lima. Tt will be found to be a burden
which they will be only too glad to
unload.
One after another tie Republican
party has rid itself OF nlonstrosities,
only to embrace some new one. Ilc
party VAS nllrtured amidst tic throes
Of the couutrs-, and has grown il
strength and power il IA age Of polit:-
cal corruption without precedent i'll
this nation, ard It cannot rid itself
entirely vi lis l.atrimcnE. Without
the excitement aid prciudices which
these monstrosities furnish, the party
would die from starvation.
But the people grow weary, and they
intend 10 unload the Republican party.
Each succeeding election furnishes
proof Of this fact. The monstrosities
which it has nursed since tie close OF
the war, while prolonging, artiiiciaily,
its jife, has gradually undermined It's
health, and the end is near.
