The Convention is in secret session to-
day, discussing the question of nominat-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Judge Settle, the Republican candidate
for Governor of North Carolina against
Hon. z:aB. Vance, has mortgaged his
farm: for $4,000, which sum, it is said,
wall be expended in the effort to carry
the State for the Republicans this fall.
Poor fellow! When he settles this mort
gage, after the defeat that is in store for
him in North Carolina, and for his party
in. the nation, he will be apt to retire
from politics poorer if not wiser man.
The President has issued his proclama-
tion declaring Colorado a State of the
Union, in accordance with the terms of
the act passed for its admission. This
makes the family Of Uncle Sam composed
Of thirty-eight sister States. When the
act for, the admission of Colorado was
passed, it was thought the State would
certainly be Democratic, but since then
some uncertainty attaches to this election,
and it may, turn out to be one more in
the column of reform States, which will
vote for Tilden and Hendricks in No
vember. ....
Hon. Charles Francis Adams, son of
John Quincy Adams, an ex-President,
and grand son of'John Adams, another
ex-President, is one of the ablest and
purest men of Massachusetts. He has
long been. u conservative Republican,
and was supporter of Greeley four
years ago, but he has declared for Tilden
and Hendricks, and will use his infu-
ence to assist in electing them. The
Democrats intend nominating him for
Governor, and there is a good chance
| to carry Massachusetts, over to the Demo
cratic column. Mr.. Adams name will
give much enthusiasm to the ticket. :. j.
Elections will be held in the following
States, at. the times given, before the
general election this fall: Arkansas, Sep
tember 4; Vermont, September S; Maine
September IL; Georgia, October 4; Col
orado, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia
October1O; Louisiana, November 6. o!
these States, Arkansas and Georgia are
surely Democratic, and there is a fail
prospect of carrying Indiana, West Vir
ginia and Louisiana, while the Republi
cans will certainly get Vermont ano
Maine, and possibly Ohio and Colorado
also. The Democrats have fairer pros
poets for majority of these doubtful
States than the Republicans.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. 'I'l

81 The cry of the Republican leaders that
the liberties of the colored race will be
endangered ld if the D emocratic party sue
ceeds,! is intended only yforpoitical effect.
They know, that there would be- more
permanent peace and prosperity under =
the rule Of a reform party than u under e
the present corrupt, ring which icontrssllss
our nation, but for the purpose Of con-
tinuing in power, they are busy stirring
up strife among sections and i hostility be- be:
tween the races, To show how false
these charges are, we give belowthe reso-
luton that was introduced in the House
of Representatives, a largely Democratic
body, by a Democrat from New York,
and the fact that it received nearly a
unanimous vote, shows the hypocrisy Of
these Republican slanderers: - !" !, -. -
Resoszyed,. by the House Of Representa-
,tiYes, That all attempts by force, fraud,
terror, intimidation or otherwise to pre-
vent the free exercise of the right of
suffrage in any. State should meet with
certain, condign and effectual punish punish
ment, and that in, any case which has
heretofore occurred, or that may here
after occur, in which violence and muir
der have. been or shall be committed by
one race or class on another, the, prompt
punishment and execution in any court
having jurisdiction; of criminal or criml-
mails is imperatiyely demanded, whether
the;crimei be one punishable by fine and
imprisonment or one demanding the
penalty of death. se f1ifS@H s'e;'''
The Republican party is doing exactly
what they. charge upon the Democracy.
They are intimidating the colored people
from voting fol. the Democracy by 'caus-
ing them to fear reinstatement, or some
great insecurity from the rule, Of tn the
Democracy. It is an intimidation by
working upon their prejudices, icredulity
and ignorance of politics, and is as effec-
tual as if it arose from actual show OF
violence. The resolution passed by the
Democrats show that they desire to pun
ish crimes by whomsoever they may be
committed; and wherever the Democrats
are in power there are none of these po-
litical murders, for whenever man kills
another the law is impartially executed,
and the offender brought to justice. But
it is not so with the Republican States.
Their government is too imbecile to pro-
tect its citizens, and violence and lawless-
ness are the result. In some instances
they prefer making political capital out
of them rather than protecting their
citizens. Both white and colored men
are safer under a Democratic government
where the laws are executed in justice
and mercy without partiality. Both
white and colored men are more prosper
GUS and contented under Democratic
State government, for the affairs of the
State are conducted for the good of the
whole people aid not for the benefit Of
Office holders. Taxes are lighter and
corruption is prevented. Our colored
people should think upon this, and give
no heed to The men who are trying to stir
up strife.

Rochester Union Hancock and
Hooker, the two great fighting generals
of the war, are for Tilden and Hendricks.
Dix and Garfield, two great soldiers of

j.. ATTENTION
COTTON PLANTERS

T DESIRE to call your attention to the
u new and wonderful improvement in
Cotton Gins, which consists in Revolving
Heads in the ends of the cotton-box, where
by the friction of the cotton running
against the ends of the cotton-box is de-
stroyed. This improvement prevents the
choking of the Gin or breaking the roll, and
any common plantation hand can feed it.
1t does not injure the staple, and gins the
seed much cleaner than the ordinary gins,
thereby saving the planter all of his lint
cotton. For speed in ginning. do not be-
lieve it can be excelled. As to sample, it
will compare favorably with any otlier. This
is the 46th year of the Daniel Pratt Gin Bus
iness, and during that time have made over
10000 gins. In Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana and Texas they are III
most universally used by the planters, to
their entire satisfaction, and the same tri-
umph is predicted for this State. Call on
me and see this Gin before buying elsewhere,
and am satisfied that when you see it you
will be convinced that the Pratt Gin will do
you good.

After considerable correspondence be-

joint public discussions have been agreed
upon by the competing candidates for
Governor. Ex-Governor Vance and
Judge Settle will together visit every re-
naming one of the ninety-three counties

four times weekly. The only intermis-
sion in the canvass will be during the

The negro party in Abbeville County
have majority of 1000 voters; they
have also the militia, armed with breach
loading rifles, fixed ammunition, and
bayonets, and yet prominent Republicans
run off to their master in Columbia and
report that the election will be lost to
their party without United States troops.

better send one-half the troops to the
South to preserve their party, aud the
other half might as we'll be sent to the
Black Hills, to be scalped by the Indians.

Associated Press agents in the South are
Democrats, giving Mr.. Eaton chance
to say that they we're probably the only
persons there who could read and write.
