be excited BY reason Of he disappointment
81 the present Democratic party IN the re-
suit at he late Presidential election. And
j, would really seem from the idle language
Of certain men that Hayes had founded mis-

are the men that give Hayes the courage 10
claim North Carolina, not by any increas-
ed strength IN the Republican party, but
BY quarrels between thecomb nations Of the
Q d parties which make up the opposition
party Of the country.
We have shown before TINT this constant
appeal to old party prejudices was IS foolish
Is II was Wicked. The distinctive party

Of principles. This strikes US anything
but Hatiering to the Wings Of the South.
The Wing party Of the North before the
war became thoroughly abolitionized. Il
merged itself into the Free soil party. Il
originated the war. and it carried through
the war. and emerged from the contest the
great Radical Republican party Ofthe pres

Before the war many Of the leading

Symmes' Theory.

Capt. Americas Symmes, the advocate
of the theory that a novigable cavity ex-
tends through the earth from pole to
pole, has contributed $500 toward the
Howgate Arctic expedition. Symmes
says that all the results of the previous
expeditions justify his belief, and he is
confident that Howgate will be able to
enter the cavity. In a letter to the
Louisville Courier Journal he says |:
"Did not Capt. Waddle go upon south
exploring expedition few years ago,
and found an open Polar sea, as in the
north, and, when entering it found his
compass had reversed its position, and
was pointing north when he thought he
was going southwark, and became
alarmed and turned back, when, if he
had followed on as his compass directed,
he would have come out at the North
pole, and would have proved the theory
true, which says the earth is hollow,
