COL. POLK'S PROPOSITION.

Col. Polk makes the following pro-
position in the ProgreSSire Farmer
to Senator Vance:
"The PT0greSSiO3 Farmer will give
him from two to three columns OF
space per week, so loug as he may
elect to use it, to show that his posi-
ton and that Of the American Con-
gress on the Sub-Treasury bill has
been proper and right.
We promise that the discussion
shall be conducted on our part fairly
and respectfully, and shall be free
from all vituperation and bitterness.
In all this controversy we have
done only what was oar plain but
painful duty. We yield to no one in
admiration of the public life and
services ex-senator Vance. That we
have shown our regard for HIN per>
sonally and officially, throughout the
controversy and even under the
most trying proyocation, we appeal
to the columns Of this paper to
testify.
ShoQld the above proposition to
Senator Vauoe be declined. the Pro.
geSSire FuTmcr is done with the mat.
ter, unless it be forced to speak"
TIE DEMOCRAT thinks that SEN
ator Vance hes shown his position
and that fact together with his op
portunities fer speaking to the PEG
pie we think ought to be sufficient
reasons for dropping the controversy
altogether. The majority Of the PEG

Senator Vance spoke here this morn
ing upon the court house square,
which was thronged up in the thou,
sands.
1t was great speech, of two
hours uninterrupted talk, and re
ceived the closest attention By the
great gathering who had assembled
from miles around in the country
and from along the lines OF the sew
eral railroads to hear him.
He opened with q comprehensive
review of the present politiCel oat-
look of the country, and showed
that the North in Congress, through
its Lodge bill and its votes on the
Northern tariff exemptions and the
Southern tariff duties, citing with
force the binders Irvine and iute
bagging, is seeking to agaia raise
and foster sectional animosities of
the deepest and most cutting nature.
He spoke of the financial policy of
the country, its tendency to central
ization of wealth in IL Of the

mcnt ard weakening of the masses,
He reviewed the evils, consequent
upon the decentralization of silver.

He reviewed the history of the

back yonder in the early days of the

while TIE farmer alone OF all, who
feeds al, pays for all. has the price
of his cotton fixed in Liverpool
where it comes in competition with

His tariff review was comprehen-

lie reviewed his position on the

well-known through his letter to

his more recent utterances through

He reviewed his SO years of politi-
Cal life, at times reaching the top

AT GOLDSBORO.

The Chronicle reports the follow"
ing:
Upon his position in reference to
the National banks, he said that he
wrote to Mr.. BeddIngfield i'll May
last that he was not in favor of
aboIishing the National banks in
the present financial condition of
the country. That this letter t.
NAMED in Nj. BeddingieId's HANDS
until last week or the week before,
when it was published in the Pro
gIessive Farmer, and it was then
charged that he was in conflict with
the platform adopted at the late
State convention, or the plank
therein in reference to National
banks.
The Senator proceeded to say
that he had been for years ardentiy
opposed to the National Banking
System: and that he voted against
extending the charter of the banks,
or granting any fayors to them
which were calculated to perpetuate
or increase their power.
lie stated that be had introduced
a bill to repeal the tax Of 10 per
cent. on the circulation Of State
banks so that State banks might
issue currency to the people and
break up the monopoly which the
National Banks now enjoy.
What man in his senses would
favor the abolition of National
Banks before some other system OF
banks had been devised to take
their place?
The country is full of debtors who.
if the banks were compelled to
close mp their business, SIN the
present financial condition of the
country. NOuiu NC ubtS11S 1dlhCb'
If the banks had to collect all debts
doe them, where would debtors
obtain the money to pay their notes:
1t could not be obtained, ii nothing
had been provided to take the
place of the banks, and the property
of thousands of unfortunate debtors
would be sold under the hammer at
ruinous prices and bought by the
spectators who happened to have
ready cash.
He favored the establishment o.
State banks OF issue, based upon
sound principles Of finance where
all people could borrow money upon
their property, and he believed the
repeal Of the tax on State banks
would be followed by good results
in this direction.

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE

Roanoke NeWS.)
1t has been an open secret for some
weeks that through the medium Of
the Farmers Alliance and at its sug-
gestion, the Executive com mlttees of
the two political parties in the coun-
ty have been comforting with the
view Of coming to some understand
ing by which there would be only
one candidate for each office within
the gift Of the people of Halifax.The
object Of this effort must he appar-
emit to ail-the avoidance of an
acrimonious campaign, the selection
Of good men for the offices and the
building up Of feeling of trust and
confidence which would be most ben
eficial to all canCerned.
To this end the County Alliance
appointed a committee to confer with
the committees of the two parties.

Dear Sir :--After consultation the
Democratic Executive Committee of
Halifax county considers it expedi-
ent and important that the Demo
cratic Convention should reconvene
for the purpose of transacting such
business as may be necessary for the
coming campaign at an earlier day
than the date to which it adjourned.
namely, the 9th day of October, for
the reason that the time intervening
between that date and election day
is in the opinion Of the Committee
too short for the work necessary to
be done.
The Committee, therefore, recon-
mcnds that you issue a call as Presi-
dent TeI nesting the delegates to the
Convention TO assemble at Halifax
on Thursday, the 18th inst, instead
Of October. the 9Th.
am respectfully;
