THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CH ARLGTTE , C. tsUxn eurocrat. W. J, YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CnAIUiOTTE, N. C. April 18G7. The Republican convention at Kaleioh. i ry Jaw to bettcr our CuI,diti.,ri.

Finings. On this point General Hampton has - 4, i i 1 Pkn for himself, aud so spoken that none can yaivj yv.yvw ui USBiaiui Hi me wui-. , of restoring North Carolina to the Union. In company with two prominent citizens of this place (Win. R. Myers, E.q., and Dr. C.J. Fox.) we went to Raleigh and were present at all the cessions of the "Convention. We did not go as delegates and neither did we presume to act as delegates, because, 1st, we were not delegated by any one, and 2d, we make no claim to peculiar "loyilty" but we went for the purpose of meet ing and conversing with personal friends and ac quaintances from all parts of the State, and also for the purpose of witnessing the proceedings and giving whatever influence we might exert in favor of harmony, concord aud a speedy settle ment of difficulties which have so long embar rassed the citizens of our native State. We pre ferred to form our conclusions, and decide as to how we should hereafter act, from eight and not from fuith or hearsay representations. The language used in the resolutions which were adopted may not meet the approbation of j all the citizens of the State. Such a thing is not to be expected. But we must not forget the changes that have taken place the peculiar and extraordinary circumstances which surround us as a peopl the fact that it is our duty to sub mit to the conquering power and get the best terms possible, and the all important truth that unless restoration is speedily effected by those who are considered loyal by the majority of Con gress, worse terms will be foroed upon us here after. After much reflection about the matter, and after gaining all the information we could in re gard to the views, wishes and determination of the leading Northern Republicans, we are prepared to say that the resolutions of the Raleigh Con vention are the best that could have been adopted by that body, and are more liberal than we ex pected. They were framed and adopted by white and black men men of extreme and moderate views but all professing and declaring that they desired peace and harmony and no further injury to those who sustained the Confederate cause, provided acquiescence was given to the Congres sional plan of reconstruction. Believing, as we honestly do, in order to get the State restored to her rights as one of the States of the Union, and to stop all further mili tary and congressional interference with our local affairs, that the class of men who assembled in Convention at Raleigh are the ones who will be recognized by Congress, we say that we feel it our duty as a friend of peace to co-operate with the movement and support the men who may be designated by that party as loyal and acceptable. We warn the people to ho prudent and cautious to give up all old prejudices and look at the situation as it is and not as we would have it. L.t those who cannot conscientiously assist in reconstruction on the principles of the Republican party be willing t silently acquiesce and engage in no contention and strife. We tell our readers, one and all, that if the State is ever restored to the Union it must be done by the influence of such men as assembled in Convention at Raleigh last week, and by such as claim to be Republicans. We want no office from the people, and neither have we any favors to ask of the State or National Governments, but w-e do want peace and good feeling to prevail between all sections, and espe cially d wh want to see the prosperity of our beloved State re established. In regard to the conduct of the colored men who acted as delegates in the Convention, wo will say that we were gratified and surprised--gratified at the gentlemanly, kind and liberal deport ment manifested, and the good feelings expressed for their former masters and the people with whom they have always lived ; and surprised at the intelligence and ability displayed by many of them. There is no doubt in our mind but that the con trolling party in Congress sympathise with this movement, and are determined that reconstruc tion shall be carried on in that way before ad mitting the State into the Union. Therefore, in conclusion, we unhesitatingly say, on behalf of ourself and the gentlemen men tioned above, that although we are proscribed by the Reconstruction laws, we intend to give our aid and support to the men that will be accept able to Congress. By this course only can we hope to prevent further trouble and calamity. We don't intend to quarrel with any one who may differ with us in these views every man is entitled to his own opinion but if our cotempo raries in this State would permit us to counsel them, we would beg them to acquiesce and use no violent or insjlting language towards the member of the party organized at R-ileigh on the 27th. Let us all wait until the State is admitted in the Union before engaging in contests for offices. Senator Sherman, in a letter to a gentle man in Georgia, speaking of tho Reconstruction Acts recently passed by Congress, says : "My earnest conviction is, that the South ehould not forego this opportunity to bo restored to representation; and you may rely upon it, that a majority in both Houses will adhere to thi offer, and execute it in good faith and to the letter, if your people will do likewise. Neither section ran be prosperous while the present condition of military surveilance prevails." .

M.JVi. mjsunderstaild him tyNo doubt maDy persons consider it degrad ing for white delegates to sit in convention with negro delegates. Feelings of that sort will be hard to overcome, but it should be remembered that Congress has declared that the negro shall have equal political and civil rights, and if the negro is to be a voter of course it is to be expect ed that both races will consult together as to how thpy shall vote. The negroes in the Raleigh Convention claimed nothing that the Government does not compel u to grant them. As to social equality, they all declared that they did not want or expect it one of tho negro speakers pro claimed that "the white man or negro who talked about social equality was a fool or a knave." HP Congress has passed a bill to stop the is sue of land scrip to Southern States to establish Agricultural Colleges. North Carolina has al ready received a considerable portion of the scrip allotted her, nud donated it to the College .at Chapel Hill. . Tennessee Conservatives. Nashville, March 29. The leading Conservatives propose inviting negro voters to participate in the preliminary political meetings, and to send delegates to the nominating Convention. Well, that's to be expected of course. The day is not distant when all parlies will co-operate with colored voters in laying plans for the success of candidates. Those who undertake to ridicule white men for acting in the Convention at Raleigh with negroes, will find that they have spoken too soon, for the opponents of that Con vention are now ready to do all they can to se cure negro voles. Interesting Correspondence. John M. Washkorn. of Texas, addressed the following let ter to Seuatur Wilson : Washington, March 21, 1S67. Sir: On my return home to Texas many ques tions will br asked as to the extent of the disfran chisement set forth in the reconstruction law passed March 2d. and afterwards amended by the supplement act. Does the law as it now reads disfranchise the rank and tile of the soldiers and citizens in the Southern States who had newr taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, or is it only applicable to that class of persons who had previously taken that oath and afterwards engaged in the rebellion? Your interpretation of trie law, as understood here, will do much in quieting speculations on the subject, and give mauy the opportunity of aiding, by their suffrage, to quiet the country. I have the honor to be, sir, ery respectfully, your obedient servant, John M. Washkorn, of Texas. To which Senator Wilson replied as follows: J. M. Washkorn, Esq. My Dear Sir: In re ply to your question, "Does the law as it now ex- ists disfranchise the. rank and file of the soldiers who had never taken an oath to support the Con stitution of the United States," I have to say that it does not disfranchise them. The constitutional amendn?nt disqualifies from holding office certain persons who have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and then engaged in tho rebel lion, or gave aid or comfort to it. This class of persons are disfranchised, and all other persons are entitled to vote. These persons are mentioned in the constitu tional amendment, so that all persons will know who are disqualified and disfranchised. Yours truly, Henry Wilson. Sound Advice. Iu view of what is now transpiring around ut,, we commend the following seasonable advice to Southern men. We copy from the Boston Post : Congress having determined the manner in which Reconstruction shall be initiated and con summated, there is nothing left for those at the South it has designated to effect its purpose but to use what power is permitted them to . protect their interests in the best manner they can. All should be registered whose right it is, and all should vote to whom is granted the privilege. Although the Radical tide be not stayed, it may be directed through channels less injurious than though allowed to sweep on its destructive course without attempt to check devastation. The hour to the South to the whole country is an im portant one. The South stripped, subdued governed by those beyond its borders can gain nothing by sullenness or inactivity in the present crisis of its affairs, and notwithstanding the os tracism of a large portion of its people, there is active intelligence and power sufficient remaining to guard against many impending evils and to hold a position for action hereafter mostdesirable for its protection and welfare. Therefore, those who can influence events by their position toward those who alone are allowed to vote, owe it to themselves and to their country, to labor, under whatever discouragements may be presented, with a view to the future, and with a cheering confidence that however dark and wearisome may appear their present path there is hope in years to come to reward those who bear adversity pa tiently and wisely. The Glove Trade in New York The N. Y. Evening Gazette states that the glove trade in New York is larger than in Paris or London. One-third of the gloves made in Paris are shipped to America, and nearly ooe halfthe importations are sold in New iork alone. There are many persons, men and women, in New York, who wear, it is 6aid, from two to six hundred pair a year. These cost from three hundred and fifty to twelve hundred dollars. These persons never put on a pair a second time, and throw aside half dozen pair a day. We surprise Europe at our prodigality the wealthiest of the titled families not being so extravagant as our banking clerks and mercan tile prioees. Talking about gloves reminds us that we have owned but one pair of gloves in three years, and they have remained in our over-coat pocket so long unused that the moths have "cut through' So it is not boasting for us to say that we deal with affairs -with gloves off."

Having assembled in the City of Raleigh pit the 27th of March. 1S67, in couformity with a timely and patriotic call, reflecting the sentiments of the loyal men of the State, aud believing the time is at hand when an open and fearless ex pression of sentiment, opinion, and purpose is urgently demanded; therefore, 1. Resolved, That in view of our present politi cal condition, our relations to the national Gov ernment and the people of all sections of the country, we do this day with proud satisfaction unfurl the brilliant and glorious banner of The Republican Paiitt, and earnestly appeal to every true and patriotic man in the State to rally to its support. The splendid and patriotic record made by this great political organization, in standing by the general government with an inflexible reso lution, in carrying forward profound measures of statesmanship to a successful issue, and the powerful aid given by it iu finally overthrowing aud prostrating the most gigantic rebellion of ancient or modern times, should commaud the respect and challenge the admiration of every can did man. 2- Resolved, That the American Congress is eminently entitled to the profound thanks of the whole country for its persevering, persistent and heroic devotion to the great principles of human rights as enunciated in the Declaration of Inde pendence; that in the name of the patriotic peo ple of this State we feel warranted in cordially assenting to and accepting the reconstruction plan recently and finally adopted by that body, and to the end that peace and order may be per manently secured and every industrial pursuit resumed and etcouraffed. we pledge ourselves to use every fair aud legitimate means to influence public sentiment to the nearest possible Approach to unanimity on this subject. 3. Resolved, That we rejoice that the dogma long propagated, of the right of peaceable seces sion under the Constitution, has been forever overthrown by the majestic uprising of the Ameri can people, in crushing out the late rebellion by force of arms; and that the doctrine that the supremacy of the general government has been, established, and that the paramount allegiance of the citizen has been acknowledged as due to the United States. 4. Resolved. That we sincerely exalt in tke fact that as a nation we are now absolutely a nation of Freemen, and that the sun in all his course over our wide spread country no longer 6hines upon he brow of a slave. Without re servation we heartily endorse the great measures of Civil Rights and Impartial Enfranchisement without any property qualification conferred without distinction of color, and that we arc ready to unite in the early practical attainment of these inestimable privileges. Although the mortal remains of Abraham Lincoln now rest silently beneath the soil of his adopted State, yet his voice still rings like a clarion through the land earnestly summoning every American citizen to the support of the great Party of Liberty and Emancipation. 5. Resolved, That as the most potent and efficient means by which the South can speedily regain her lost prosperity, we earnestly advocate the spreading of knowledge and education among all men, aud that to the attainment of tbit great end, we demand and shall persistently and firmly inMst upon the absolute right of free discussion and free speech on all subjects of public in terest. 6. Resolved, That we join in an earnest wish for the maintaiuance untarnished and undimmed of the public credit and plighted faith of the nation. 7. Resolved, That in the uiaintainance of the position taken and the principles this day avowed, we earnestly invite the influence and co-operation of men of all political persuasions, who regard and cordially support the recent action of Con gress as a solution of our present political diffi culties; that we deprecate partisan violence and desire peace and good will toward all men, aud if in an open and fearless effort, which we pro pose to make on every suitable occasion, to per suade and convince the people, that our highest duty and truest interest is to be subserved by maintaining the principles of the Republican Party, an earnest interest should be awakened, it will be from no other cause than a rigid adher ence to what we -regard as a sacred right and a solemn public duty. During the sessions of the Convention speeches were made by Hon. R P Dick, Hon. Thos Settle, D M Carter, J B Odom,. D Heaton, W M Cole man, C R Thomas, and others, (whites,) and Jas II Harris, J R Hood and G W Brodie, (colored ) AH spoko in a conciliatory tone. Congress.

Then unless otherwise ordered, to adjourn the first session sine die. Mrs. Surratt. The extraordinary scene in the House of Representatives, when Butler bold ly charged Bingham with helping to hang "an innocent woman," will revive the discussion throughout the country with regard to the guilt or innocence of Mrs. Surratt, who was hanged July 7, 1865, with others, convicted of conspi racy to assassinate President Lincoln. Mr Biog ham was the Assistant Judge Advocata to the Military Commission, and, in allusion to the part his position necessitated in the trial, Butler said: "If, during the war, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr Bingham) did as much as. I did in that di rection, I should be glad to recognize that much done; but the only victim of the gentleman's prowess that I know of was an innocent woman hanged upon the gallows. His only victim in the war was one Mrs. Surratt. I can sustain the memory of Fort Fisher if he and his associates can sustain him in the blood of a woman tried by a military commission, and condemned with out sufficient evidence iu my judgment," It will be remembered that the bulk of the testimony against Mrs. Surratt rested upon two witnesses, Lloyd and Weichtnan, while most of the off setting testimony in her favor was of the most respectable character; and her confessor, who administered the last consolation of religion, declared that "as God lives Mrs Surrat was in nocent of the murder of President Lincoln or of any intent or conspiracy to murder him." Payne pronounced her innocent, and Gen. Hartranft said that he believed Payne. All these things will be re-read with fresh in terest, particularly in the light of the Supremo Court's decision with regard to trials by military commissions, and in the face of the fact that a man like Butler, in an unguarded moment, pub liely confessed what possibly many other men of Butler's political faith believe to-day.
