Should Hate Rule /!

What the American people need
most of all is peace throughout the
country and confidence in the stabil.
ity of our government, and immunity
from the wranglings and annimosities
engendered by war and eight years Of
degraded administration under Grant.
To this our statesmen and citizens
should give their efforts. But will
they do it? We hope the best, but it
will involve a great struggle. For al
ready we have indications that one Of
the great parties is preparing TO enter
the contest for power under the ban
ner of hate, and hope for success by
the annimosities they can revive Of
the past, to engcnder sectional strife
between the North and the South.
Will they succeed? We trust not.
But it will depend upon the temper of
the people themselves. If majority
are willing to be led blindly to such
contest, then indeed the hope for a
united and prosperous country will be
wrecked and perhaps never regain
that respect and confidence in the
ability of the people for self-govern-
ment enjoyed before the sectional war
from which we emerged some years
ago. Why should this animosity be
permitted to continue? The prosperity
Of the North is as much dependent
upon the prosperity of the South, as
the South Is upon that Of the North.
Our interests are mutual. If the
North il prosperous so is the South.
If the South is weak and oppressed
by hate and hostility from the North,
80 is the North in q corresponding
degree from the South. We are one
people, governed by the same laws,
with the same hopes and the same des-

tiny. This was decided by the war.
1t is accepted by the people without
regard to section, or creed, or color.
This principlc--this position of mu-
tual interest, and mutual destiny, the
Democratic party assume and present
to the people against the issue of hate
and discord now so clearly forshad-
owed as the platform Of the Republican
party, under the inspiration of its stall
warts, and the leadership of one who,
us chief Executive, could unblushng-
ly declare he had no respect for the
Constitution.
To make fair show of fight on
this "bloody shirt" issue, the stall
wart Republicans in Congress are
now making the initial campaign in
efforts to retain the fraudulent appli.
ances incorporated in our statutes
during the Grant administration.
The test OATH" the "bayonet at elec,
tions," and the employment of parti-
san supervisors and marshals TO CON
troll and manipulate the polls are II
necessity. Hence Mr.. Hayes, who
fraudulently obtained his power by
means of these appliances, is made to
stand and insist by his veto, that
the representatives of the pcople--thc
majority in Congress shalr leave them
undisturbcd to accomplish the same
work, so ehectual in placing n man in
the Presidential chair whom the people
refused to elect by their ballots.

4 Republican Protest Against Grant.

From the Evening Telegraph, Rep.
The glitteting cold steel OF his facts
should puncture the third term move
ment eiiec,ually, for it demonstrates
that General Grant, il he should be
nominated next year, would fall as a
candidate by the weight OF his own rec.
ord. II would be enough against the
expediency of his candidacy to mention
the factions that would savagely oppose
him, and those that would give him a
lukewarm support; and yet they would
not be half so dangerous enemies as the
great army of thoughtful, conservative
Republicans, who would either vote
against him or not vote Mt all in case of
his nomination, because of the fact thu
he would be third.term candidate, and
because Of the character Of his admins.
tration. Even the press of the Rcpub.
lican party would not be united upon
him indeed, the strongest aud most
powerful moulders Of public opinion in
the country and party would fight him
to the last hour that the polls are open.

IT is now generally believed, says
the Washington Post, that the exodus
movement was invented and is prose
cuted for the purpose of falsifying the
next census, and thus reducing South
ern representation in Congress. The
scoundrels who started this movement
have no other interest in the negro
than to utilize him for political pur-
poses. 1t is a basely cruel trick, but
in perfect keeping with the course Of
Radical politicians toward the negro
ever since he became political factor.

To OBTAIN the passage of an act,
to extract money from the State in
which Sam has a pecuniary inter
est, he proposes to Bill, "if you vote
for my bill, l will vote for the law, by
which you can make draft from the
Golfers of the State" This is n mu-
tual agreement of the lobby to deplete
the Treasury for the mutual benefit of
the parties. We believe it is called a
combination. Is it buying votes? Or
is it a mere combination against the
public finances, and morally right?
Where is the difference if Sam says to
Bill, "vote for my bill and | will pay
$780," while Bill says to Sam, "you
vote for my bill, and will pay 81 900?
In either case it is "you tickle me,
and III tickle you," and presents a
very nice distinction-one in which
we are unable to discover a difference.
Perhaps some of the bright intellects
of the Pennsylvania Legislature could
solve this problem. Ii not, please refer
it to Mr.. Quay of the State depart
ment or Mr.. William Kemble of

as boundaries are concerned, no more
to do with the South as against the
North than New York city or Indiana
We are pleased to agree with the North
american in Mt least one of these conclu
sions. The Post has always claimed
that the States mentioned, with the
addition OF Tennessee, formed no part
OF the South proper, and should not be
so classed. Missouri. for instance, IL
just as much of Northern state as Is
Illinois or Indiana, and all three Of
them belong really to the West. Della.

DEATH OF A GOOD MAN.

We regret to learn of the death of Mr.. H.
Clark Harris, citizen of this county, who
lived near the Mecklenburg line, and whose
post office was Pineville, in that county. Dur
ing the first week of the present term OF the
Circuit Court, Mr.. Harris served as grand
Juror and when the grand jury was discharg-
ed he returned to his home in apparently good
health, and on the following Wednesday died
suddenly in church. A correspondent of the
Charlotte Home gives the following particu-
lars concerning the death of Mr.. Harris:
The Steele Creek community was visited on
the End of April, by very sad and mysterl-
Gus dispensation Of Providence. The pastor
of Little Steele Greek congregation had re-
quested them to assemble at the church on
that day to engage in social religious confer
ence. At the hour appointed the exercises
began, and in few minutes Mr.. II. Clark
Harris, who, as was his custom, was sitting
perfectly erect, his eyes fixed on the speaker,
giving strict attention to what was being said,
suddenly attracted the attention OF his broth
er who was in the next seat, by very marked
change in his respiration. DR.. Strong being
near was Immediately at his side, but neither
the attention of friends nor the skill of the
physician could avail aught, for his immortal
part had already winged it's flight to the pres
ence of Him who gave it. Thus in an instant
this good man was called, while in the enjoy
ment of usual health, from this to another
world. BY his death his children are bereft OF
fond and indulgent father, the community
of a kind and Obliging neighbor, and the
church of devoted and Jealous supporter:
