S. The right to free ballot is right pre-
sentative of all rights, and must and shall be
maintained in every part OF the United States.
6: The existing administration is a repre-
sentative of conspiracy only, and the claim
Of right to surround ballot boxes with troops
and deputy marshals to intimidate and OBJ
struct electors, and the unprecedented use Of
the veto to maintain its corrupt and despotic
power, insults the people and imperils their
institutions.
7. The great fraud of 1851, by which
upon false count of the electoral votes Of
two States the candidate defeated at the polls
was declared to be President, and for the first
| time in American history the will of the people
was set aside under the threat of military
violence, struck a deadly blow at our system
Of representative government. The Demo
cratic party, to preserve the country from civil
war; submitted for the time in the firm and
patriotic faith that the people would punish
this crime in 1880. This issue precedes and
dwarfs every other; it imposes a more sacred
duty upon the people Of the Union than ever
addressed the conscience of nation of free.
men.
9. We execrate the course of this admins
tratl0n in making places in the civil service
reward for political crime, and demand reform
by statute which, shall make it forever impOs-
| sible for the defeated candidate to bride his
way to the seat of the usurper, by bilIeting
villains upon the people.
9. The resolution Of Sam'l j. Tilden not
again to be candidate for the exalted place
to which he was elected by majority Of his
c0untrymen and from which he was excluded
by the leaders of the Republican party, is 70.
ceived by the Democrats Of the United States
with sensibility, and they declare their conf
dence IN his wisdom, patriotism and integrity,
mistaken by the assaults of a common enemy,
and they further assure him that he is followed
into retirement he has chosen for himself by
the sympathy and respect OF his fellow.citizens,
who regard him as one who, by elevating the
standard of public morality and adjoining and
purifying the public service, merits the lasting
gratitude of his country and his party.
III. Free ships and o living chance for
American commerce on the seas and on land;
no discrimination in favor of transportation
lines, corporations or monopolies.
ii. An amendment to the Burlingame
treaty; no more Chinese immigration, except
for travel. education and foreign commerce,
and therein carefully guarded.
~. Public money and public credit for pub.
lie purposes solely; and public land for actual
settlers.
10. The Democratic party is the friend of
labor and the laboring man, and pledges itself
to protect him alike against cormorants and
the Commune.
II. We congratulate the country upon the
honest and thrift of the Democratic Congress
which has reduced the public expenditures
$40 100000 year; upon the continuation of
prosperity at home and national honor abroad
and above all upon the promise Of such
change in the administration Of the govern
ment as shall insure us genuine and lasting
reform in every department of the public
service.

A Sound Democratic Declaration

The Hon. VIM. II. English, Dem.
ocratic candidate for Vice. President,
thus announced his sentiments on
the money and labor questions,
years ago, and lie has rigidly ad.
hered to these sentiments, through
every mutation of public affairs.
They are fit to stand forever: Lam
for honesty in money as in politics
and morals, and think the great
material and business interests of
the country should be placed upon
the most solid and as far as possible
from the blighting influence of dem.
agogues. At the same time I am
opposed to class legislation and in
favor of protecting and fostering
the interests of the laboring and
producing classes in every legiti-
mate way possible. A pure, eco
nomical, constitutional government,
that will protect the liberty of the
people and the property of the PEG.
pie, without destroying the rights
of the States or aggrandizing its
own powers beyond the limits of
the Constitution, is the kind of gov.
eminent contemplated by the faith
ers, and by that l think the Democ.
racy propose to stand.

1t does our soul good to see the
way Democrats are whooping things
up in this canvass. Keep right
along and victory is sure.

Let it be remembered that James
A. Garfield is directly responsible
for the fraud that stole the Presi.
deDey from Tilden and gave it to
Hayes. He is noregsihy than Hayes
himself. He was one of the 'svisit-
ing statesmen who went to New
Orleans and helped doctor the re-.
turns so as to give Hayes the eleeto-
raj votes of this State, and subse-
quently he was a member of the
Electoral Commission aud by his
vote cheated Tildeh out of the Pres
idescy. He was Que of the eight
that stole the Office, while Hayes
was simply the receiver of the stolen

at the idea of ssthrowing mud" in a
Presidential campaign. They say
it is all wrong; that such campaigns
ought to be conducted decentTy and
with regard to the proprieties. A
great change has come over our
opponents. But little while ago
they were in a different mood. The
fact is they have been distinguished
as mud throwers for twenty years.
They threw buckets of mud at Nc
Clellan, when he was a candidate for
President in 1864; cart loads at Sey.
mour in 1873; wagon loads at Gree
ley in 1872, and train.loadsat Tilden
in 1876. They bounded poor Horace
Greeley into his grave with the most
outrageous SANDERS, and were not
content until he was buried out of
sight. They resorted to every cal.
umny that INSCRIPTIONS and Gun.
ming mon could invent to defeat Til.
den in 1876, and kept up their dirty
warfare three years after he was
cheated out of the Presidency. But
very suddenly they come to a halt
and beg and whine about personal
tiles and mud-throwing. What is
the matter with them3 Something
has gone wrong that makes them cry
for quarter. What is it, The an
swer is easily found. In the first
place they have nominated man
for President who has a very dirty
record; and in the second, the Dem
0crats have nominated man whose
record is as clean as the '.unsullied
snow" They can't find any mud to
throw, but have supplied the Democ.
racy with an abundance, and now, of
course they are shocked at the idea
of "mud-throwing." We abhor the
manufacture of falsehoods for use as
weapons of attack in political cam.
paigns, and are sorry to say this has
been too frequently resorted to by
the Republicans, but to stigmatize
Is mud.throwing the publication of
unsavory truths, taken from the rec.
ord, which affect the character of
their candidate, is to admit that he
has been engaged in dirty business.
We shall not knowingly misrep.
resent Gen. Garfield or Gen. Arthur,
nor do We believe there is any dispo.
sition among Democrats to do so.-
If there is, there is no occasion for
it, as as facts concerning them, sup
piled by their own party friends, are
aud sufficient to secure
their conviction and defeat. But it
is q little too much to expect that
disag,eeable facts will be ignored
simply because it makes the Repub.
leans unhappy and nervous to hear
them.

The Senator Elect.
Seashore Gazette.

Seashore Gazette.
As will be seen from Jackson telegram,
in anothe column, Chief Justice George re-
ceived the nomination for U. S. Senator, on
the forty-ninth ballot, of the Democratic
caucus, and has since been elected by a
joint session of the Legislature. Gen.. Wal
thall had been withdrawn previously, and
Judge George placed in nomination, but the
dead lock still continued, with no indication
of a breaking up for an indefinite time. 1t
was then that Major Barksdale, though he
had maintained the lead throughout, for the
sake of the harmony of the party, and to
prevent a further protraction of the struggle,
had his name withdrawn from the caucus !;
when Judge George was nominated by a
large majority. Upon the withdrawal of
Mai. Barksdsle, he submitted letter to the
caucus, which is patriotic and manly, and
characteristic of the man who has always
sacrificed self for the cause of Democracy.
The Senator-elect, Judge j. D. George, is a
man eminent as lawyer and jurist, and one
who has done much for the party, and
it pleasure to know that our State will
be represented by so able Senator.

BEGINNING OF THE INVESTIGATION AS TO
ITS CAUSES.


ITS CAUSES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. I9th.-The Senate
Committee, consisting Of Messrs. VOORHEES,,
Vance, Pendleton, Wisdom and Blair, ap.
pointed TO investigate the causes of the exc
dus 81 the colored people from the South
ern States, commenced taking testimony
to-day. The first witnesses examined were
Rev. j. E. Rankin, pastor Of the Congrega-
tional church in this city, and Thomas L.
Tullock, Assistant Postmaster of Wash
ington, both of whom testified that they
had no personal knowledge of the causes Of
the exodus, and knew nothing of a widely
scattered circular to which their names
were appended, appealing to people of the
United State for money to assist freedmen
in finding refuge from persecution, etc, ex-
cept that they had promised to serve as
members of board of audit for the Emil
grant Aid Society therein referred to.
]. w. Cromwell, (eolored,l of Washing
ton, clerk in the Treasury Department,
and prominent member of the Emigrant
Aid Society, testified that the reason the
North Carolina negroes left their homes
was because they did not get enough money
for their work did not hear that any OF
them were induced to go by Indiana poll
tieians.
Judge A. B. Carleton, of Terre Haute,
Indiana, was the next Witness. He testi-
fed that he is well acquainted with the
people of yigo county, and with the condi-
ton of all that portion of Indiana. There
is no present demand for farm hands or
any other kind of unskilled labor. On the
contrary, there is an over supply, and the
feeling of the people, including a number of
old colored residents, with whom he has
conversed, is decidedly averse to immigra.
ton of destitute colored people like the
North Carolina immigration in question,
and especially as the general impression
is that they are brought there only to vote.
