THE KADIC'AI.S TBI - '
The republican leaders doubtless
thought that by the professed policv of
adjourning without doing anything th*>y •
would catch all tiie votes that were ojv
posed to the call of a convention. This
was, as a party trick, smart. Inthehopo
Of benefitting their party they gravely
propose to nnlify a law of the land.
Their prominent irten, howevor, do not
agree with thcin, but on tho contrary
condemn their proposed course. Judge
■ Pearson, whose authority should not be
questioned by' radicals at least, says thrt
such a course, as that proposed is revo
lutionary and subversive ot good gov
ernment. Judge Rodman who is a can
didate for convention says: that if elect
ed he shall be in favor of amending the
constitution, an in his judgment it needs
nmcndlug. Judge Cant well was in favor
of convention, and suvs that the consti
tution cannot be amended and altered
as it should be without one. Judge
Thomas was nominated for convention,
" and he declared that he was in favor
of amending Ihe constitution when the
convcnlioution met, as it needed and
should be amended. Marcus Irwin is
out canvassing on the sido of amending
the constitution by convention. One
Campbell, recently from Tennessee, but
now a great radical light in the west
Is a candidate for convention, and pro
poses if elcctod to disregard tho restric
tions and.go to work, both in amending
the constitution and legislating. Judge
Buxton in his card to the voters of Cum
berland, which is being circulated as a
radical document, says: that the consti
tution should bo intrusted for safe keep
ing, and if need be for amendment, In
the hands of its friends, thus showing,
thnt ho places himself in an attitude to
go either for adjournment or for work.
AH these are leading republicans. Tho
men of real ability belonging to the
party will not commit themselves to a
policy of nullification and revolution.
The legislature passed tho law, which
it had the lightand power under the con
stitution to pass and to disobey it cannot
be otherwise than revolutionary. No one
who considers the diversity of opinion
of the radicals themselves can for a
moment conclude tbat there will be any
adjournment without considering of
amendments, even were It possible for
a majority of radicals ft bo lected -
The loading minds of tho party are
outspoken in their condemnation 01
the policy proposed by tho radical
address, that is being circulated all over
the country. So it is settled we arc to
have a convention, and the question is
simply who are to be delegates to it.
Who will the people entrust the framing
ot (heir constitution to, radicals,ordem-
ocrals? That is the question. Look at
the history of tho two parties in this
State and decide whom you wiil trust.
The radicals resolved to deceive the
people, aud they are busy in their effort
so to dc.

t:O.>VB.MTION.
There is not in tho State, jso far as wc
have heard or know a single boml-hol
der who was not violently apposed to
the call of a convention, and who will
not now do all that lies withiu his pow
er to defeat any amendment ot the con
stitution, provided democrats have it
U> do. It is well known that with the
assembling of the convention thatfrnm
cdJhe present constitution there was a
combination formed to influence legis
lation. It is well known that by this
con-bination, commonly known as the
ring, the convention of 18GS, and the
legislature elected in 18C8 were con
trolled. It is well known that both
theso bodies were bought, at least a
controlling influence in them, to do the
bidding of this combination or ring. It
is well known that by these two bodies
the State was plunged into a debt, that
the !>§ople can never, and ought never
to pay, lor no benefit to the State, and
with no other result, than the enrich
ing the individual members of this ring,
into whose hands were placed the hand
ling of tho State bonds that were Issued
to the amount of millions. These very
men now have a deep interest in the fi
nal payment of these and all otherbonds.
There has already been passed an act of
the legislature to provide lor the fund
ing of a per centage of the old and
honest bonds. These bond-holders*
already immensely rich by their
i',l gotton gains, do not propose to
take this per centagc. They will uow,
at a few cents in the dollar, buy up
whatever of State bonds they do not ah
ready control, and then by a poweriul
effort, and the plentiful uso of money,
they hope at sometime in the future, to
be able to buy another legislature, and
then by a taxation that will be ruina
tion they will exact the last farthing.
As long as there is nothing in their
way but an act of the leirislaturc, which
another legislature can repal they Wfcvc
high hopes, but they fear a con vsntion ol
democratic delegates as a felon fears
the halter. They fear that a clause
wft find its way into the amended con
stitution, forbidding the legislature to
ever tax the people to pay more for
these bonds than is provided by the
present act ol the legislature, and from
ever taxing the people to pay anything
on the special tax bonds as they are
called. They don't want this. Oh, 110!
They may be able to get an act of the
legislature repoaled. They may find
auother legislature, in the constant
chauges of the tuture, that money will
buy; but if there is a clause in Ihe con
stitution forbidding the- payment of
these fraudulent bonds altogether; nnd
forbidding other terms than those pres
cribed in the recent act of the legisla
ture as to the others, theft" chauce for
further robbing the people is about
hopeless. They are spending money
without stint to prevent a democratic
majority. They are using every means j
without regard to truth, honesty or
morality to accomplish their end. It
makes no difference what you are, rad;
ical, republican or independent demo"
crat, just«o you can be depended on,
either to adjourn, or to be influenced
yot to pat anything ill the constitution
agaiust the payment of these bonds.
Oh, my State 1 Qh, my bonds 1 Oh, Mr.
poor mau I Oh, my bouds 1 Look at the
expense! Oh, my bonds! Aren't you
afraid of the whipping post? Save my
bonds I- Look out lor your homestead I*
My precious bonds! And every con
ceivable cry is raised and men aresought
to be frightened, by any and every sort
of story that the imagination can sujj
gost. They have tneir agents every
where and they are scattering their
money.
Such an uneasy set I You thought,
when you had the present constitution
fixed up in your iuterest, you were safe
did you Mr. bond-holder? But the dem
ocratic party has taken everything out
of that instrument oommanding legisla
ture to make tho people pay you your
fraudulent claim?, and that same .party
is going to put something in the consti
tion, that will preveut your buying an
other legislature, if opportunity should
ever offer, that will have the power to
force taxation for your good. You can
keep your fraudulent bonds for your
grand-children to look at.
«A»I«AL ADORBSa
"It seems that certain politicians an deter
mined to overthow the law. 81nce 1870
-*a peiiod of only Sve years—ibey have three
several times worried the people into voUng
upon the question Of aaiunding the eousUiu
tntion. It Is high time the people had res
pite f.om them.
Not the the politicians geutlemen.
The people want an organic law that
will be less expensive, aud will give to
tho poor nqau with his small matters the
sam* rights that is given to the rich man
with his large ones. The present con
stitution don't do it. When the senti
ment of the people was arrived at, they
ratified every alteration aud amend
ment submitted to theia by nearly if not
quite forty ftousaud majority; aud they
are eagor for more alterations, and if
you will direct your appeals to their
judgment and common sense instead of
to their tears and prejudices you will
find auother forty thousand in fnvor of
amendment and alteration.
THK ISSUE'
The election is rapidly approaching.
'The issue is momentous. A convention
has been culled, and whether you think
the call wise or foolish, necessary or un
necessary, timely or untimely does not
alter the fact. For party purposes the rad
icals made it a party issue from the
start. The question now is the elect ion
of delegates. Shall (.he Convention be
composed of a majority of democrats
and conservatives, or shall wo have
another legislative body composed of a
majority of radicals? This is to be de
termined the first Thursday in August.
Have the people forgotten the work of
the only two radical legislative bodies
they ever had itf the State? Have they
forgot lon the trcirendous fraudulent
debt they heaped upon the State? Can
it be doubted that if these radicals get
control ot the convention that thev will
provide for the payment of the bonds
they fraudulently issued? The two, and
only two, legislative bodies the radicals
ever had in this state were bought, and
paid tor in dollars and cents. We don't
mean every radical member was th us
bought, but wo do mean a controlling
influence was, and the proof of it is be
yond question. Well then, if a radical
legislature could be bought to issue
fraudulent bonds, is it not reasonable
to fear that a radical convention could
be bought to provide, in some sly way
perhaps, a means by which their pay.
meut can be enforced? The party# has
been ever deceptive. It is being found
out. fJood meu everywhere, who have
heretofore acted with it arc Jeaviug it.
Democratic victories won - by radical
votes is gladdening the hearts and in
spiring the hopes of good people every
where. Shall your State Convention
be democratic or republican ? That is
the question. Shall Ihc most authori
tative body that can possibly assemble
in the State be controlled by white men
or by the negroes of the State? Shall
republicans or democrats rule it? Are
we prepared to again take upon our.
selves the yoke of radical rule? If it
should so be that the republicans should
control the convention, they will so leg
islate and geryinander as to keep them,
selves in power if possible. We . all
know that. In radical counties nothing
is heard of adjourning if elected. It is
only in couuties where they hope to
make votes by it that this policy is pro
claimed. Radical or democrat? that is
the question!
COMPETENT JUDGES.
"The entire expenses cannot be definitely
arrived at; but it is estimated by competent
judges, that it will consume as much as
KiVtf HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
This is what the radical address says:
Well, it saysauythiug that happened at
lha£ime to suggest itself to its fraißers.
No sort of estimate within the range of
probability can reach one tenth of this
amount. It is a bare assertion, a>.d
while they were about it they might as
well have said five hundred million.
Any man of common sense or reason
would as readily believe the one us the
other. "Why don't they give some fig
ures by which they arrive at this start
ling conclusion. They dare not, for
that would be discovering the falsehood
of the reckless statement, aud they knew
it. The eost ot the cohveuii n will be
something certainly, and should be
thought of and considered. Reason
and probability cannot be si retched to
make the amount more than one tenth
of what this unscrupulous address in the
frenzy of it authors states it will be. A
calculation, which we puplish, so that
all can seo aud judge for themselves,
arrives at the result, that a tax of twen
ty cents ou the the thousand dollars
will pay the entire cost. This may be
wrong to some extent, as it only pre
tends to approximate the real cost, but
it cannot be very far wrong. Suppose
we double it, which the cost of conven
tion can never aetnaHy 4ft|ud we have
only tort) eonts on the (Mfsand dollars
o pay the entire eost. That is certainly
beyond any limit than can possibly be
reached. There can be no poll tax lev.
ied for snob a purpose. The beuefits to
the tax payers from the amendments to
the constitution will pay this back in a
year Let the uufortunatc insane who
are wealthy pay their own expenses;!
let the wealthy who are so unfortunate
as to have children aflicted with bjlut -
ness, or who are dmf and dumb, pay
for their education instead of the tax
payers doing it. The present constitu
tion lorbids this. And let us courts
of criminal jurifttictio? at least oftner
than ouee in six months—make the
udges come Once in three months and
stay a week at the time and thus let us
get rid of just one half the jail fees
which the people always have to pity.
These amendments alone will in one
year reimburse the people for all the
expense of holding a convention. Any
one who will think about it knows 11.
And, bv the way, how happens it that
these radicals have suddeuly grown bo
careful of expenses. It don't seem to
have occurred to them while they were
in power. Look at the table of costs
of two years of radical rule. Look on
the outsidegof tnis paper' and * think

"So it is intended to do away with tlic toiHßfl
t-hips. the governments of true Democracy®!
The schemers gay this system was never heard
of before tiie advent of the "scioliste, carpet
baggers and negroes." But Charles i. lusher,
a leading Democrat, in the General Assembly
of 1854, Introduced into the Beua/e, a bill pro
viding for the appointment of a council of Se
lectmen for every county, with the same pow
ers and authority, and to be elected in the
same manner, as our present tqwnships trus
tees. Besides being a system that has worked
well in other states, it was thus not a novelty
in North Carolina.
This is what the radical address says.
We have no towtiship system now.
Every body knows this. "What do the
magistrates and clerk of the townships
do? I hey list the tax and assess tlie
property. They always did this; we
mean the magistrates. They do appoint
overseers of the road, and that is all
they do, as a township system, The
constitution wonld seem to establish a
township system, .but, like many other
provisions in that instrument, it was so
unsnitedto our people that the Supreme
Court virtually set it aside. When in
the eastern portion of the State a town
ship in which the negroes largely pre
dominated, by its board of trustees lev
ied a tax of $25,000.00 to bo collected
out of tme single jivhy, you
see something had to be done and so the
Supreme Court legislated a spell, and
effectually destroyed the township sys
tem in this State. The necessity cf the
case required it. What is your town
ship system now? Yon all live in town,
ships and ask yourself, what do vour
magistrates do moi'e than they always
did ? Ah, your township trustees appoint
overseers of the roads and fills the place
to some extent of the old common school
committee and isn't that all? It needs
no argument, you know it is. The sys
tem would not work well, and so the
Supreme Court, from necessity had to
take the authority to abolish it. What
do you think of the township system?
Wuy, you don't know anything about
it. We havu't got it.
" Discriminations arc made between the rich
man and his poor neighbor, the tendency of
all this eortof legislation being to add to the
strength of the strong and trample upon the
rights of the weak."
The above is found in the radical
address, in connection with what it lias
to say about the recent charter of Wil
mington, which has been declared un
constitutional. The Legislature tried
to so arrange the wards, and the repre
sentation in the city of Wilmington as
tD give control of the city government
into the the hands ot the whites and
take it from the hands of the irrespon
sible negroes who had been plundering
them. How do the poor white men
of this country like the way the radical
newspapers and speakers have of etern
ally classsiiig them with the negroes.
We are as poor as anybody, but we are
not willing to be classed with the ne
groes. "We think-we are better than
the negroes and as good as the rich
man or anybody else. Don't you? The
radicals are always pnt.ing tue rich in
one class and the poor mail and negroes
and in another. If you must classify,
and it ia just the same to you, won't
you please put the negroes to them
selves, or ftt least don't include a mau
in that class because lie is poor. Most
of us poor men have had no offices to
get rich ou. Don't, even in sympathy,
put us with the negroes! We don't
like it.
'-When the legislature assembled, a majority
of that body were opposed to the call; but at
once the agitation commenced. For a long
time it was in doubt whether or not the
plotters would succeed, because, the dominant
party, knowing the temper of the people, fea r
ed to risk the passage of a convention bill."
Radical address.
Not a word of truth in it. There was
never & moment wheu more thanamajor
ity were not in favor of calling a con
vention. The democrats had barelv a
two thirds majority, in the house, and
somo of these—a very few only—doubt
ed the policy of a call as a party meas
ure ; the radicals before having plainly
intimated their intention to force it as
party issue, and these few, after during
the holidays, having seen their constit
uents, came back in tavor of calling the
convention iu obedience to the will of
the majority who sent them there, and
every domocrat in tbo legislature after
mature deliberation, and full consulta
tion witlf his constituents, save two
or three voted for the call, and evfery
radical save two or three voted against
it. Remember that it took two thirds
of each house to pass the bill.
Speakiug of the restrictions the radi
cal address says:
'"raere is nothing within them to prevent the
restoration of tue county courts; nor the abol
ition of the townships ; nor the ro-establiah
meut of the whipping-post; nor the require
ment of a residence of twelve months in a
county, before acquiring the right to vdte 5-
nor tne fixing of excessive rates of poll-tax
in the various counties; nor forbidding the
forced production of tax-receipts to enable a
citizens to cast hU ballot; nor the creation of
a stringent landlord and tenant act; nor the
taking away from the tiller of the soil his
rtelita and property ; nor tile creation of life
offices ; nor the appointment of Judges, solici
tors and magistrates by the legislature ; nor
the taking away from the people their right to
choose their own rulers."
Nor to prevent the 4 natural increase
et the human family in the natural
way. Why didn't they put that in?
It would haVe been equally sensible
and might have made a vote, or scared
somebody from the electioti.

THE OLD CBV.
The Radicals are on the " same old
drunk," raising the familiar and artful
cry of other days, that the Hoiiestead
isiu danger. Roeky Mount Mail, which
is devoting itself with whole soul to the
.patriotic duty of Nash county for Bunn
and Convention, thus briefly demolishes
this impudent assumption: "It is mere
clap-trap, and they know H- The 75,000
negro voters and about 15,0 0 white
men make up the Republican party in
North Carolina. These combined do
not own one-teoth of the Homesteads
in the State: Not one negro in a hun
dred owns a tract of land. The Demo
cratic party owns nine-tenths of the
Homesteads, and no sensible man be
lieves ior a moment that our party
would cut its own throat by demolish
ing its own property. If it was dispos
ed to. do so, every delegate in the con
vention is sworn not to interfere with
the Homestead. Every democrat who
has been or will be nominated acknowl
edges that the restrictions are binding.
It would be moral perjury to disobey
hem."
The Radicals exact a pledge from their
candidate to adjourn immediately aftei 1
assembling if they find themselves in a
majority. This is an electioneering
dodge to catch such Democrats as they
suppose unfriendly to Ccnventiom
But wo have never believed it, and
there is nothing in radical character to
warrant the belief that after getting
hold of power they will let it go.
A. A. Campbell of East Tennessee
is stumping the State for Convention
—mind yoti> for Convention, for lie
wants to got there, and in a majority.
He won'Uadjourn, lie goes there to
get a little legislation out of good and
lawful men for the good of the party.
Now what that is nwy be readily
imagined. The first and obvious step
would be to re-district the State 1 to suit
their purposes, and another to . fix in
the Constitution a clause making its
amendment impossible. This done and
all is done, and the State lies tied hand
