His bitter condemnation OF the

begin to denounce any and all
complaints about hard times,
and go so far even as to assert
that it is this complaining of
hard times that makes hard
times. Every now and then we
see in some Republican paper
all article headed something
like this: ''Stop that howl a
bout hard times" If men were
ignorant enough 10 believe that
bowling Il amt hungry" would
he all that was needed to salts
fy their craving appetites and
fill their stomachs, such an ar
gument might deceive some.
When men once grasp at such
straWs their case must indeed
be desperate, and they must feel
certain Of being engulphed in
the tidal wave that has set in in
Kentucky and Alabama. Hence
they cry, ''stop that howl about
hard times"

The Gubernatorial Can
vass at Fayetteville.

SS ~ ~ ObVS y 141Os
Gov. Porter arrived at Fay
etteyille on the evening of the
22nd instant. He was waited
on during the evening by a
number of citizens. About 8
o'clock in the evening he was
serenaded by the Fayetteville
Silver Cornet Band. To the
compliment of the serenade he
responded in a few well timed
remarks.
During the morning of the
23rd he was visited and intro
duced to hundreds of our citi-
zens from the country, who
seemed well pleased with the
Governors courtly bearing.
The speaking was opened a.
bout II O'Clock NJ, by Esquire
Yardley, Messrs. Thomas and
Nancy having failed to put in
their appearance. Squire Yard
ley is a fluent and graceful
speaker, and in his hour and
half speech sustained the Rad
ical cause as ably as we have
ever heard any of his white po-
litical associates do. We could
not discover that he advanced
any new ideas, however. He was
listened to by the large crowd
present with the utmost atten-
ton and courtesy. lie admit
ted in conclusion, that the Re-
publicans in DISTINGUISHING the
ex-Confederates after the war
ia Tennessee had committed a
grave blunder. He said that to
this wrongful act could be
traced most Of the i'll feeling
and bad blood which had since
existed between the whites and
blacks in Tennessee.
Gov. Porter was introduced
to the crowd in few well timed
remarks by Col. j. d. Tillmar.
The Governor was greeted by
the crowd with applause. He
paid very little attention to the
speech of Yarrlley, but merci-
lessly exposed the ugly records
of Thomas and Nancy. Though
not present, he said he had said
10 their faces harder things a.
bout their record than he now
did. That he had not received
any notice that either of them
had quit the race, and until he
did so he would continue to
treat them as candidates and
comment on their records. He
showed that Gen. Nancy had
expended $1,700,0O0 on a rail
road of which he was President
which he, Nancy, had sworn
before a committee Of the Leg
islature only ought to have cost
100000. He showed that
Thomas had been a rebel and
had run for an Office in the reb-
ell government Of Tennessee,
and had afterwards solemnly
sworn that she had neither held
or sought" such Office. He
showed that Thomas had voted,
while in the Tennessee Legisla-
ture for the sale of the railroads
for the payment of the prin-
cipal and interest on the State
debtor the payment by the
solvent Iailroads of their debt in
the Brownlow bonds-for an
eighty cents tax and against a
tace1oty cents tax, &C., DC. He
closed with a satisfactory expla-
nation of his action in commut-
ing the punishment of Gilbert
and others.
His speech gave entire salts
faction to the Democracy, and
the few lingering Thomas men
gave in their adherence to Por-
ter. Thomas will not get fifty
votes in Lincoln county. Mark
our prediction.
