t THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE, Kt C, tsUxn democrat. W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE. IV. C. May 28, 1867. ThkRaleioii Sentinel, and the Charlotte Democrat. Th Sentinel has become somewhat j excitetl and seems to have lost its usual propriety in discussing public affairs. It rails at ri rather bad temper, and talks about "twaddle" and rl.;mr,i.rinfT TlierA id tltia dlfTirfncA whimperings. i nere id (ins 'rpnce between the Sentinel and the Democrat: The Sentinel is the organ of the present State admin- istralion. and is anxious to keep a certain set of men in office it is working for party purposes and for party men while the Democrat belongs ! to no party and is not under the influence or n..tn.l of nv i.artv. but is striving to establish ; good feeling and peace among all men. - J - i- The Sentinel has favorites to promote to office, and consequently it connders it a duty to de nounce all who come in their way. We have no particular favorites to promote, and have never abused Gov. Worth or his friends, but have merely cautioned the Sentinel against abusing Gov. Ilolden and his friends, believing that such conduct promoted contention and strife. We do not belong to the Republican party and have no favors to ask of that or any other party, but we can tell the Sentinel that there are as good and as honest men co-operating with tile Republican party iu North Carolina as can be found in tlio Sentinel's party, and the sooner it acknowledges this fact, and ceases its twaddle" and "whimperings" about Ilolden and ILddenites the better it will be for the welfare of the State. The Sentinel has already caused trouble enough to rhe people of th State, and it is time for it to change its course. Iy advising and promoting Contention for the office of Governor in the Fall of 1SG3, it did a great deal to prevent tho admis sion of the State into the Union, and its factious ness afforded an excuse, o some extent, for the passage of the late Reconstruction Acts, by which inatiy of our people aro disfranchised and put belnw the negro. Along with muny of our fellow citizens we. Iiavp been deprived of tho i'ij;ht to vc.fe. and we feel that we are justified in blaming the Raleigh Sentinel for assi.-ting in causing the difraiicliisement of 'the white people. We do not approve and endorse everything that Mr Ilolden says and does he knows that we often differ with him but it should bo remem bered that ho has been badly treated and de ceived by tho Sentinel and others who heretofore professed great friendship for him. but who de serted him for very slight or no cause at all, and in that w.iy aggravated and forced him to treat his opponents with some severity. He is not Fiperior to human nature, and thoe who assail him may expect to be assailed in return. After Mr Holcen's conduct as Provisional Governor wus endorsed by a unanimous vote of tho State Convention, and after it was well known that President Johnson and the true friends of the South in Washington desired his election to the ofiiee of Governor, if the Sentinel and its advisers had permitted the election to pass without opposi tion and strife, they might feel that, they are not responsible for the present unsettled and threaten ing condition of affairs ; but as it is, thoy are justly subject to blame and censure. We never asked Gov. Ilolden for favors of any fkort, and have never received any. Can the Seutiuel say as much ! Remarkap.i.k Weather. The temperature of the weather last week was remarkable fortius section at this season of the year. It was cool enough to make fire comfortable, and at night blankets were necessary. Wo are assured that on Thursday morning. 23d May, frost was visible iu certain localities. IIeef. Last week we stated that Beef was retailing in this market at 15 and 20 cents. Wo rhould have stated that that was the price for choice cuts, and not for beef "all round." Our butchers arc obliged to sell certain portions of a beef at about 8 cents, but for choice pieces they must charge more iu order to pay expenses. We learn that some of our country friends brought beef here last week expecting to receive l't and 20 cents by the quarter. Of course they were disappointed. We would suggest to those having beeves for sale, that they first try tho Ilutchers hero and see what they can obtain for beef on the hoof. At this season of the year it would be better for country people to sell to our town butchers, on the hoof, ihan run the risk of having beef left on their hands. Dfuoiitfi-l Summer Resort. It will be seen by advertisement that the proprietors of the Ch aveland Mineral Springs (formerly known as the celebrated Wilson's Springs.) will bo ready to accommodate visitors by the loth of June. Persons seeking health or pleasure cannot find a better place to visit than these Springs. The water, in medicinal qualities, is said to be equal if not superior to any in the country; and from a personal acquaintance with the proprietors (one of whom. Dr. Taylor, was for many years a Phy sician of extensive practice in this town) we can say that visitors will receive every attention aud accommodation that it is possible to afford. t" The Raleigh Sentinel does us injustice by ,..w..g moui our arwciesomy a par. u, a sen- , tence, and commenting ou it. It is usual to tsike a whole sentence at least, and is considered un fair to quote a portion of a sentence. All we ask is a fair hearing. We have never assailed Gov. Worth, but on the contrary have always expressed confidence in his integrity as an honest, faithful nubile. ' officer; but the Sentinel manages to keen this ' fact from its readers, and bv auitinr a f,.w r,U : IVfkfn tli..

He stated that if the Howard amendment had been accepted by our State, her Representatives would have been admitted, as in the case of Tennessee; and expressly declared that if the Reconstruction Acts were carried out in good faith there would be no further trouble, and North Carolina would be speedily restored to the Union. His advice to the colored people was as good as the most extreme Southern man could desire. He told them in plain words that if they ever got land and houses and lots they must work for them, and by industry and economy get the mo ney to buy property that God had so ordered the late struggle that it had resulted in their free dom, but they must show themselves capable of enjoying liberty, Sec. Sec. He closed by thanking the people of this sec tion for the courtesy they had shown him, and expressed great gratification at his visit. Gen. Rufus Rarringer, Mayor Harris, Wm. R. Myers, John Wilkes, and other true friends of the South, occupied seats on the staud during the delivery of the address. We ought to say that Mr Kelly, in private conversation, stated that his speech in Mobile (where a riot occurred) was similar to the one ho delivered here that he was particular to avoid saying anything offensive, and that the disturb ance at Mobile was originated by a few evil dis posed persons who premeditated it before he hud said a word. We cannot say positively what ha been the character of Mr Kelly's speeches elsewhere, but we will say that his speech in this place was cal culated to do good instead of harm. Men who widely differ with him in politics express this IHF We know very well that occupying the position we do in regard to men and measures, we receive about as much censure from the Worth party in this State as if we were fully identified with the Republican party; and we know that some unintentionally and others wilfully misrepresent us; but we do not intend to permit any one to put us in an attitude that we are unwilling to assume as right and proper. We are opposed to all extremes, and especially to anything that tends to hinder or prevent an early restoration of North Carolina to the Union. Brakemen are as necessary on a Railroad train as engineers and conductors; and so in political movements at the present time, it is important that some one should occasionally favor "putting down the brakes," which we intend to do without being iu the employ or particular favor of any political company or party. We stand by what we have heretofore said, viz : that we think it would be better to permit that class of men in this State, whom leading and influential Repub licans at the North regard with favor, to carry on the work of reconstruction without opposition, provided they do not favor further proscription and confiscation. We say this because we think it would allay excitement and prevent bad feel ing, although we do not claim to be one of that class and have no favors to ask of any of them nothing more than common good will. fcp" It is stated that General Sickles receives daily a large number of letters making all sorts of complaints and asking for relief, and seeking mili tary interference even after the civil Courts and Post Commanders have investigated the mat ter. Of course persons who write such letters profess to be peculiarly loyal; but in nine cases iu ten the' belong to that class who were mighty good Confederates as long as they wero permitted to make money out of the Confederate Govern ment and off a suffering people, but who changed their tune as soon as they were required to bear a part of the burden. We are perfectly willing thut by-gones shall be by-gones, but we despise hypocrisy. We hope that no decent man will resort to the military before seeking an adjustment at civil law. At any rate, the military ought to be very careful how they receive one-sided statements. No doubt, commanders are often deceived by false swearing anil false statements. Gov. Pekry. of South Carolina. WTe see it announced that this distinguished gentleman has written a third letter, even more emphatic thin the two first, against any action by the peo ple of his State under the Sherman bill, further than to register and vote down the proposed Con vention. We have not seen the letter in question, but we cannot see what the Southern people can promise themselves from such a course. The Supreme Court has dismissed the Georgia and Mississippi injunction cases, and with their dis missal will end all attempts to seek redress at the hands of that August tribunal. The present Cn- . f ,, , . 0 If Southern State! should take the course advised by Gov, Perry it would excite the Northern people and enable the Radical party to return a still larger majority to the 41st Congress. Harsher terms would theu be imposed. Salisbury Xorlh Slate. We endorse the above and commend it to the attention of all who desire peace, quiet and se- curity for person and property. Ex-Gov.

For an account of the proceedings of the meet ing, see article in another column copied from the Guardian. Joseph W. Holden, Esq. This gentleman, the junior Editor of the Raleigh Standard, spent a couple of days in Charlotte last week, attend ing tho Republican meeting on the 20th, which he addressed. We did not bear his speech (in fact we heard none of the speaking) but we are told that his remarks were well received and not calculated to offend any one. We expected nothing else, for he is a young gentleman of ability, good judgment and honest intentions, with malice for none, but charity for all. The New York Day Rook, a democratic jour nal and popular organ, advocates the nomination of Jeff Davis for President, provided he will ad vocate the restoration of tho Union on the white basis, and adds that ir does not see how the dem ocratic party can do better than to make him its candidate in 18G3. It also suggests that Edgar Cowan, of Pennsylvania, be nominated for Vice President, and says such a ticket would sweep the North. Exchange Paper. The New York Day Book, by such foolish and hypocritical articles, is doing the South more harm than all the radicals combined. The Day Book belongs to that class of Northern people j who urged the South to secede, and promised help, but who really fought us harder and injured j us more than the avowed abolitionists. Southern ! patronage is what the New York Day Book, ! News, Sec, are after. We are a better friend to Jeff Davis than they ar. and we protest against his being injured by such nonsense as the Day Book puts forth. . lT We direct attention to the advertisement of the "North Carolina Military and Polytechnic Academy," at Hillsboro, N. C. . Gen. R. E. Colston is the Superintendent, and has the repu tation of bring highly qualified for managing and instructing youths. In a private letter to us. Gen. Colston says : "The offer we made of a gratuitous scholarship to one young man from each Congressional Dis trict in the State is still continued. No condi tions required except good moral character, in ability to pay for tuition, and a pledge to teach within the State for one year after graduation." C The Methodist Protestant Ch jrch of the Southern States held a general Convention at. Montgomery recently. Bishop Pierce and others of the Methodist Episcopal Church attended as fraternal messengers for the union of the two churches. The Protestants finally adopted reso lutions to leave the matter for each local Con ference to decide upon. Good feeling prevailed. "That those who brought out Gov. Worth did right, and did what was best for the State, has been abundantly proven by the result and by sub sequent facts. No proposition can be more clear ly established than that the defeat of Mr Ilolden was a fortunate circumstance, as every man of discernment must have seen at the time. Per haps the testimony of Senator Wilson will satisfy the Democrat. When Gov. Worth was in Wash ington city last, he met Senator Wilson, in the presence of a number of gentlemen, who expres sed much pleasure at meeting Gov. Worth. Mr Wilson remarked substantially, addressing him self to the Governor, "some folks made an ado because you beat Mr Ilolden for Governor, but, for my own part, I was glad enough of it." Raleigh Sentinel. If Senator Wilson "was glad enough of it," it was because it afforded him an opportunity to impose more degrading terms on the people of the State. But what did President Johnson say about Mr Holden's def.-at ? Will the Sentinel dare say that President Johnson is not a competent wit-J ness, that he is not a "man of discernment" will it say that he is a radical and an enemy to the South ? Here is what the President said about the result, of the election for Governor in 13(55 : Washington, Nov. 27, 1865. IT. FT. Ilolden, Provisional Governor: Accept my thanks for the noble and efficient man ner in which you have discharged your duty as Provisional Governor. You will be sustained by the Government. The results of the recent elections in yrth Carolina hive greatly damaged the prospects of the State in the restoration of its governmental rela tions. Should the action and gj-irit of the Legisla ture be in the same direction, it will greatly increase the mischief already, done, and might be fatal. It is hoped tbe action and spirit manifested by the Legislature will be so directed as nulier to repair than to increase the difficulties under which tbe State has already placed itself. ANDREW JOHXSOX, President, of the United States. We consider that the above refutes the state ment of the Sentinel and affords abundant justifi cation for the support we gave Mr Ilolden in 1863, and for the efforts we then made to prevent strife and party excitement. Let the Sentinel answer President Johnson if it can, and show that he is a man of no discernment. CF A new Episcopal Church was dedicated iu Wilmington last week. The Rev.

The sermon was delivered by Rev. Mr. Bron son. of Charlotte, from Haggai II chapter and 7th and 9th verses: "And 1 will fill this house with glory. The glory of the latter ; house shall be greater than the first. The discourse of this reverend gentleman was one r?niarkable alike for its beauty of diction, great power of argument, and the sublimity of thought which it evinced. To do it justice our limited space will nut allow, as this could only be done by a full report. After the sermon the Holy Communion was administered by the bishop, assisted by several of tbe clergy." President Johnson It will be seen by the following letter that President Johnson will visit Raleigh on Tuesday next, the 4th of June : Executive Mansioo, Washington, May 22. lion. WD Ilaytcood, Mayor of Raleigh, N.C: Dear Sir: I have received your Istter of the 15lh instant, and thank you for the cordial terms in which, as the representative of the ; cirizens of Raleigh, you ask me to visit that j place. j. 1 accept the invitation of my native city to be ber guest, and deeply gratified for the respect in which they hold my father's memory, will I endeavor to be present with yoor citizens on the '. 4fh day of June, the day set apart for the erec tion oi a monument to commemorate bis worth.

Asa George exhibited to ns last week some very fine specimens of smooth brick which he made at his Yard near the Depot of the Wil., Char. & Ruth. Railroad. He is prepared to fur nish this quality for the front or ornamental parts of buildings, and also a durable article for the main body, at reasonable rates. Specimens may be seen at the store of Hutchison, & Co. Burroughs Return op Senator Wilson. Hon. Henry Wilson returned to this city yesterday, having completed hu pioselytiog tour in the Southern States. He expresses gratification as we understand, at the kindness and courtesy with which he was treated wherever he went among the ostracized people of tho South. He testifies to the entire freedom of speech that is there allowed to the Northern Radical speakers, by stating that although, in all the cities he visited, before mixed audiences of whites and blacks, and sometimes under circumstances tending to produce excitement, he enunciated his political opinions and advocated the doc trines of his party freely, boldly, and without re serveor modification, lie was never,atany time, subjected to offensive interruption of any des cription. ' Washington Intelligencer, Alay 23. Washixgtow, May 24. Tbe President will leave here on the first aud be in Raleigh on the 4th of June. New York, May 24. A special meeting of the union league club was held for the purpose of considering the conduct of Mr Greeley in going Mr Davis'liAil. Resolutions of censure werepresen ted and rejected, but the club finally passed reso Unions condemning the bailing, but did not deem it proper to stigmatize the member for the act The meeting was violent and stormy. m - A Sweeping Law. The new bankrupt, act, which has already been brought up in discussion in our courts, not only does away with impris onment for debt in all tbe States where it now exists, but, according to the National Intelligen cer, sets aside all stay laws, and all preferences, voluntary agreements, and secret attachments. Either party to a debt, whether tho debtor or the creditor, may put the estate of a debtor into bankruptcy, by which means tbe interests of both parties will be promoted. Fraudulent bankruptcy will be punished as fraud. The In telligencer adds that France has acted in the matter simultaneously with the United States, and that England will soon follow the example. We do not understand the law as setting aside all agreements or deeds giving preference to creditors, but only certain ones which are descri bed in the law. Chief Justice Chase. It is stated that Chief Justice Chase will go to Richmond to hold the Wtcuit Court of the United States, if any business requiring his presence should come before it. It is, however, regarded as certain that he will preside at the session of the United States Court to be held in June, iu North Carolina. Interesting Speech of Pkestdbxt Johxsow The Brazilian Minister took leave of the Piesi dent on Friday prior to his departure for home. Addresses were made by both gentlemen. The President, in the course of his reply said : The present condition of the American States is honeful. Arbitrary reforms of government have generally disappeared from the continent, ami the nations are organized under free, or at least liberal constitutions. Colonial restraints upon commerce have p issed away altogether, or been essentially modified. Slavery, henceforth, retires from this continent back to the old world, whence, in an unhappy hour, it came. Certainly our American States have, iu these respects, departed from evil and begun to do good. If now they can learn that in all cases reason is a better and more efficient agent for organizing and regulating political societies than military force, they may soon be expected to seek p. ace and pursue it.
