THE JOURNAL AND CONVEN-
'RHON.


It seems there is some disposition
| to blame the JOURNAL for the losses
sustained by the Democratic party in
the recent election for delegates to
the Convention. 1t is said the call of
the Convention was blunder and that
the JOURNAL is responsible for it,
Having heard the charge, the Tarbore
SOt%the7ner comes to our defence in
very handsome style. It says:
Occasionally we hear men ofrespect-
able common sense charge that the
call of Convention was blunder and
epeak ill of the Wilmington Journal in
consequence. The JOURNAL did what
was right and did it's dutv to it's con-
science and country with distinguish
ed ability. The present constitution
is unsuited to our people, cumbersome,
expensive and oppressive (; it was
therefore the duty of the press to con-
vince the public and our Legislators
of the necessity of amending it. Both
did what it was their duty to do, and
the only blunder was the delay,
timidity and hesitation in calling the
Convention, together with the apathy
that was displayed by our friends
after the call. Had every paper and
every democrat done his duty in a
manner like that of the JOURNAL we
would have swept the State. We
honor the JOURNAL for its course and
oil right minded men agree with Us.
1t is a high-toned, conscientious and
able newspaper and never takes a
stand that is antagonistic to the best
interests of the white people of North
Carolina"
We publish the above first because
we desire to express our sincere thanks
to the SO0theymer for it's generous de-
fence of our course, and secondly be
cause it gives us an opportunity to say
that the Journal has nothing to take
back or to disavow in its course upon
the Convention question, and nothing
to regret save that it did not have more
ability to devote to its discussion.
1t is not our desire nor is it our pur-
pose to enter into any acrimonious dis
cussion in regard to the responsibility
for our recent losses, though fully con-
sclous of the right, we shall be all
ready to defend ourselves. For rea-
sons unnecessary to mention, We We're
thoroughly convinced that if the op-
portunity offered by the Democratic
strength in the present Legislature,
was not taken advantage of to rescue
the eastern counties from negro rule,
the white people in those counties
must make up their minds to live
under that rule for all time to come.
The JOURNAL therefore exerted itself
to the utmost of it's ability to have the
Convention called, and it was called.
We do not, however, claim that this
result came from our unaided efforts
for to do SO would be most egregious
vanity-in view OF the fact that before
the call was made, the entire Demo
cratic press of the State united with US
in appealing to the Legislature to pass
the Convention Bill then pending be-
iore it. All we desire to say is that We
did all we could to secure the call of
the Convention, and that we shrink
from no responsibility arising there
from.

ihc Chicago IfjLttltc undertakes to
rebuk'7 the people of the North wno
became Indignant because Jefferson
DAVIS was invited TO deliver an adj
dress before the Winncbago Agricul-
tlru society, and the people Of the
Sonth because they became indignant
at the insult afterward offered Rlr
Davis. The T'iJ,02c thinks the anger
OF the Southnn lccf!e, much less
reasonable than that OF the Northern
people /, Saws:
iI"r is take q case in illustration.
Ben Batler is held III much the same
e7'in1rI0u in the South that
"eii Davis is in the North. There are
numerous agricultural societies in the
South who have been inviting orators
L. deliver addresses before them.
We have yet to learn that any of them
nave extended an invitation to ButIer
- 90 South and speak. NOswithstand-
ing tnls, no one but a very stupid and
hatfow minded person would ever
cobcjtide that the South hates the
N'rth because Butler has not been in
N'tt to go there and orate.
In the first place we are ignorant of
'.i' l1cts II 1t be true that the invi-
'ation Was cancelled by the Winnebago
h-"rIe. Our understanding Of the
affair IS that the matter terminated
by Nj, Davis withdrawal of his accop
lance This Is not very important
Il is true but then it is well enough
sHat It should be stated accurately.
III the Hext place we are ignorant of
II" facts If it be true that Jefferson
DAVIS Is regarded at the North as Ben
p"1'ar IS regarded at the South
b'l'Ier Is regarded at the South as a
mr. thief, scoundrel, It personal

carcass all that IS mean all that is ignoble

where, high and low, rich and
pooF' rude and polite, speak of him
W34I tmeVlng, lying, cowardly beast
ali lIal, moral and physical vision

WHAT WAR HAS DoNE.-To give our
readers an idea what has been the eff
feet OF war upon the human race, we
give the following that We clip from

Since the historic period, fourteen
thousand millions of human beings
have fallen in the battles which man
has waged against his felIow-crea-
ture-man. Ii this amazing number
of men were 10 hold each other by the

tend over fourteen million five hun

hundred and thirty-three miles of
ground, and would encircle the globe
on Which we dwell six hundred and
eight times. fine calculation will ap-
pear more striking when We state that,
ii only the foretingers Of that four
teen millions Of human beings were
laid in straight line, they would
reach mere than six hundred miles be

Among the yo0pg men Of the State
who work for the success of the Dem-
ocrats, none labored with more energy,
zeal and devotion, says the Raleigh
Sentinel than the talented editor of
Albemarle Times, Patrick H. Winston,
Jr. He used both tongue and pen in
the service of his party, and his coun-
try. While not engaged in editorial
work, he was ont upon the stump, ar
ousing the people TO the duty of the
most affective aid in canvassing Mar
tin county, and achieving the brilliant
Conservative victory which was gained
