THE WESTERN- DEM OCR AT, ;CU ARLOTIE, N . C. moctat. W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. September lO, 1867. 10TH VOLUME. We have entered on the publication of the Sixteenth Volume of the Western Democrat, And we presume it will not be considered egotis tical or boastful fur us to say that we are satisfied vith the success which we have met as a news paper publisher, and gratified at the confidence And support received from the people of the State., and especially of tbis immediate section. J3ut, while thanking the public for a liberal share of patronage, we do not hesitate to say that our success has been mainly attributable to a kind Providence in sparing our health, close applica tion to business and hard work. As to the past, we do not feel that it is neces sary to say anything in Justification of our course iin regaed to political questions and public matters a we are willing that time and experience shall .show whether we have been right or not but ,we will take this occasion to say that whatever .we have said or done has been with an eye.olely lo benefit the peopl generally, without reference 4 party or the aspirations of individuals. We tkfiaw that whatever benefits the people benefits ,us, and what injures them injures us we are identified with the prosperity or adversity of the State in every way. Since tho close of the war we have felt anxious to see national difficulties settled as speedily as possible, and therefore have been ready to ac cept the terms offered by the conquerors, be lieving that the longer a settlement was delayed the worse it would be for the Southern people. When the Howard amendment alone was offered ito the South as a basis of settlement, we advised and ad-ocated its acceptance and adoption by jNorth Carolina as the best terms she could get, and we did so when it was very unpopular to pursue such a course. We are aware that we were denounced and abused at the time, but it did not cause us the slightest uneasiness, for we felt confident that time would prove the correct ness of.our advice. There are but few uow who will not acknowledge that it would have been better if our Legislature had adopted the Howard amendment, and thus prevented the di.-francliise-,tnent of a large number of white citizens and left the question of suffrage for each State to settle for itself. We never .claimed to have been a ''Union man" during the war. but, on the contrary have not hes-itated, on all proper occasions, to declare that our sympathies were with the Confederate cause. Hut that cause was lost, and hence we have considered it a duty to submit in good faith and advise prompt acquiescence and obedience to the laws and orders of the powers that be." Therefore, we are in favor of speedily recon structing the State Government in accordance with tho laws of Congress, but opposed to all schemes of further proscription or anything that will stir up strife and ill will between our citizens. We have used, and intend to use, whatever in fluence we possess in favor of peace and estab lishing good feeling between all our people. For tho past six or eight months we have not been disposed to indulge in much ''editorial" writing, preferring to publish such facts and in formation as would keep our readers well posted in public matters, only making such comments as seemed necessary. Probably we might create a "sensation" by participating in controversies and using "strong" language, but we do not think this a proper time to .-ay or do anything that will promote or continue bad feeling, ;r cause Mrife and contention. However much we may differ with others about the proper course to pur sue, we are not disposed to hastily impugn the motives of any one or claim more honesty, patriot ism and far-sightedness for ourself than we are willing to accord the balance of our fellow-citizens. We were born and raised in North Carolina, and come weal or woe we intend to stand by her and do what we can to promote her interest and the welfare of her people. Among her native citizens there should be at this critical period no strife or contention, but all should be influenced by a spirit of noble emulation of " who can best work and best njrree." f3F For the purpose of purchasing some new typo and materials for our Office, we expect to bo absent for the next two or three weeks. Mr Thos. Ledwell, the foreman, will attend to the business affairs of the Office during our absence. Registration in Mecklenburg. On Mon day and Tuesday last the registrars again opened books at this place and registered 177 whites and 142 blacks. The registered vote of the couuty now stands 1,742 whites and 1,G20 blacks. When the returns for the State are completed, we will publish a table ehowing numbers in each couuty. m York District Whites registered 1,725, blacks 1.911. The King's Mountain Railroad, running from Yorkville to Chester, has been completed, and Iraius now run regularly. The Oli Grave Yard. The key to the .old Grave Yard is kept at Dr. Scarr's Drug jStore, and those who want to walk through tho .grounds can gel it at any time. At the request jof citizens the gate has been kept locked for the purpose of keeping out cattle and hogs. GF We direct attention to the advertisement of Due West Female College. The President, Rev. J. L. Bonner, has the reputation of being An excellent man in every resDect, and no doubt young ladies intrusted to his care will be pro- periy instructed and cared for. We also call attention to the advertisement of Wofford College, at Spartauburg. S. C. The Institution is under the control of that able divine. Rev. Dr. A. M.

As an indication of the business capacity and future prospeets of Char lotte, we will merely mention the business bouses that have been erected within the past few months, or are now in process of construction t Two story brick double stores by Stenhoa.ie, Macaulay & Co ; two-story brick double stores and a frame building by W. J. Black and R. M. Miller; two wooden store rooms joining the above, the name of the owner of which we do not know ; two-story brick double stores by McLaughlin & Hammond ; and R. M. Oates ; two-story brick store by Jas. ! H. Carson; one brick store on the Irwin property, occupied by Wittkowsky & Rintels; and about a dozen smaller wooden houses, besides a number of dwellings. The 2d and 3d stories over Smith's Boot and Shoe Store have been fitted up in hand some style as a dwelling by Mr Sam'l P. Smith, the owner. In addition to these improvements, we hear of five or six other brick buildings soon to be commenced. The President's Proclamation. Another Proclamation from President Johnson was is sued last week. It warns all persons against obstructing and hindering the Constitution and laws of the United States, and recites that such obstructions have recently been interposed in the States of North and South Carolina only meaning, we suppose, tuat uen. ickips refused to permit the process of the U. S- Court, held at Raleigh, to b executed agaiust our citizens for debts due Northern creditors. The wording of the Proclamation is calculated to make the impression that citizens of North and South Carolina have been obstructing the laws, and in that respect is unjust to the people; where as it is only certain Government officers that have obstructed, hindered, &c. The President might have stated frankly to whom he alluded. A Suggestion. We have had inquiries as to where good farming or mining lands could be bought in this section at moderate .rates. These inquiries come from men who do not want to speculate, but desire to settle in this part of the State and engage in agriculture. We aw some gentlemen last week from a Northern State who wanted to purchase farming lands. The suggestion we make is,thjs : Those who have land for sale, either for farming or mining purposes, should adopt some means to make it known to the public. If they are unwilling to pay for advertising in the newspa pers, let them stick up notices at the corners of the Public Square, or at the Court House, or authorize some one to speak fur them. Western North Carolina. On onr first page will be found an interesting communication from Dr. Scroggs, in regard to the soil, climate, productions and resources of Western North Carolina. As the writer justly says, our own people at least ought to consider these things, and the advantages here at home, before they move off to some distant country. For our own part, we do not hesitate to say that North Carolina is tho best State in the Union, and tho country "between the Yadkin and Catawba Rivers, as well as the whole western part, is the most pleasant and delightful the sun ever slioue upon. Treatment of Prisoners. We publish an intelligent letter from our fellow citizen Dr. J. H. Gibbon (the father of Maj. Gen. Gibbon o,f the U. S. army,) addressed to the Hon. J. P. C. Shanks, chairman of the committee appointed by the last Congress to examine into the treatment of Federal prisoners by the South. Dr. Gibbon is a native of Pennsylvania, but has resided for a number of years in this county. Important Notice. The Public Treasurer of this State, Mr Battle, publishes the following notice to Sheriffs and Tax Collectors : State of North Carolina, Treasury Dep't, Raleigh, September 4, 1867. To the Sheriffs and Tax Collectors of N. C. : In consequence of information just received, 1 deem it my duty to inform you that you are bound by law to pay the Mate laxes now due, into the Public Treasury prior to the 1st day of October next. Unless payment shall be made, I am im peratively bound ,-ut the first court .which shall occur after the default, to move for judgment against delinquents, for the full amount of taxes due, deducting nothing for commissions or in- . t. it . t -ijit e solvents. Due auuiug-one inuusanu aonars ior taxes supposed not to appear in the lists trans mitted by the Clerk." Ihe next Superior court of Wake will begin on the 30th of September. With every disposition to grant indulgence to Sheriffs and the people, I think it best to notify you, that the law gives me no discretion, and that unless payments be made on or before the 4th of October next, being Friday of the Superior court of Wake, judgment will as suredly be moved for against all delinquents. 1 learn that an opinion prevails in some quar ters that the State Treasury has a large surplus and needs no further replenishment. This is not true. The taxes collected under the Revenue Act of 18(Kj, will be nearly all exhausted by the close of the present year (Sept. 30th, 1867). The taxes now being collected, will be needed for the year ending September 30th, 18G3. Out of this fund must be paid the expenses of the State Gov ernment for the coming year, of tho Asylums, of the probable Convention and General Assembly, in full all ordiuary end extraordinary appropria tions made by law. This is the smallest State tax levied since Jolo. Tax-payers should attend to their duty at once and cheerfully. They will expect relief in vain. The district commauder has been urged to stop the collection, but has declined to interfere. Let Sheriffs by energetic collections, and tax-payers by prompt payments, sive me from the painful duty of enforcing law against delinquents. Very respectfully, JvEMP 1 . liATTLE, Publio Treasurer. CP The town authorities of Salisbury have abolished the system of paid policemen they only employed two. Under present laws and military regulations Charlotte might get along very well with two policemen, and thus save something in the way of taxation. m Washington. Sept. 4 The Committee in vestigating malfeasance in Cotton and other abandoned property, report many of the largest operators as dead, while others lost their gains by subsequent operations.' If many have died, many are yet living on the property unlawfully seized from Southern people soon after the surrender. If proper efforts were used they could be found and brought to punish meut.

Vice Presidents Gen Alfred Dockery, Hon R P Dick, Jas H Harris, R M Tucker, C R Thomas, Rev J B Williams, W R Myers, Rev G W Brodie. Secretaries Dr H J Menninger, J E O' Ilara, G L Malison. John Frey. Chaplain Rev Wm H Pitt. Gen. Abbott, on taking his seat, made a neat little speech, which elicited great applause. On motion, a committee of twenty-one was appointed to effect a more permanent organiza tion of tbe party. A motion to select a committee of sixteen (two from each Congressional district and two from the State at large) to draft a platform was carried. Hon. John Pool, Chairman of tbe Committee on Resolutions and Platform, made the follow ing report; "The Committee on Platform and Resolu tions have been in session all tbe morning and after a full and thorough conference, have agreed upon the following report which they have authorized me to read to this Convention. In the first place I will read tbe Platform: platform. We, the delegates, representing the loyal people of North Carolina assembled in Conven tion, in the city of Raleigh, on the 5th day of September, 1867, for tbe purpose of perfecting and strengthening the organization of the Re publican party in the State, and in order to aid in the great work of restoring, preserving and perpetuating the Union, do Resolve, That the Republican party in North Carolina hereby rc-affirm the principles enun ciated in the Convention of true Republicans which assembled in this city on the 27th day of last March, and does fully accept, adopt and sustain the principles of the Republican party 1 of the United States." resolutions. 1. Resolved, That confiscation of private property for political offences is repugnant to the Republican liberty and ought not to be re sorted to, except as au inexorable necessity to save the life of the nation, after all other means have been tried in vain; and the Republican party in North Carolina does not consider that the present condition of public affairs requires the necessity of the confiscation of private prop- ' erty, and hopes that no such necessity will arie. 2. Resolved, That in order to guarantee ef fectually the principles of universal liberty and civil aud political equality, every male citizen of the age of twenty-one ought to be allowed to vote in all popular elections, and be freely ad mitted to the ballot box, nor constrained by complexion, threats or violence, and such is the requirements of the proposed constitutional amendment so far as it relates to the question of suffrage. 3. Resolved, That while the Republican party in Norih Carolina faithfully and energeti cally sustains the policy of Congress, on the subject of reconstruction, and will spare no ef fort to secure under it the restoration of the State to the Union, it is nevertheless constrain ed to call the attention of Congress to ihe con tinuance of the disfranchisement and disabili ties now imposed upon those true and loyal citi zens, while so many of the devotees of treason and schemers agaiust the peace and integrity of tho Republic are invested with full powers and franchises of citizenship, who are using it too effectually to prostrate the efforts of those who are laboring, thus trammeled, to perpetuate the Union, to place the national peace and safe ty on a sure foundation, and to render true the just and correct principles of union, liberty and equality. - 4. Resolved, That the President of this Con vention immediately upon its adjournment, by and with the advice and concurrence of the Re publican Executive Committee of the State, shall appoint a committee of loyal and well in formed citizens, to consist of not less than one from each Congressional District, to urge upon Congress to remove within just and sale limits the disabilities complained of in the above reso lution, in time, if possible, to untrammel the ef forts of true and loyal men in the approaching election, or as soon as it can be judiciously done, and that authority is hereby given to said Com mittee to spsak for the Republican party of North Carolina as to the limits and conditions within which the removal of such disabilities can be salely and justly applied io this State. Mr Pool further said : That the present is the result of the labors of the Committee after tbe most anxious consultation, some difference of opinion and afterwards modifications, and final abridgement. Mr Peck, of New Hanover, moved that the ' latfoim be first considered, and then the res olutions separately, which motion was carried. Mr Menninger wished to amend the platform, hv strikii.er out the word "restore," on thes"111 that the Union has never been dissolved, so that the clause containing that word would read in older to fd in the great work of preserving and rwrruliialinO' the Union. &C." The platform, as amended, was unanimously adopted ly the CopveuUojv The first resolution was then laid before the Convention for consideration. A motion to lay on the table the first resolution, protesting against the confiscation of private property for participation in tho rebellion, was lost by a rote of 53 nays 47 ayes. . The Hon. David Heaton offered ihe following subsitute, for the first resolution : Resolved, That tbe Republican party of North Carolina, on the subject of confiscation . and all other matters appertaining to Reconstruction, will faithfully adhere to, and abide by, the Recon struction plan and measures of Congress. . The above resolution was adopted in place of tne four resolutions reported by Mr Pool and the committee.. Dr. Powell now stated that he had been dele gated to present to the meeting the report of the Committee on a plan for the better organi zation of the Republican party of North Caro lina, which was adopted as follows : ARTICLE I. 1.
