A. leadinn Republican aewipaper. re

cge of totaling an I tt rcssing opinions
about the ari.idf a d actions of ihi'te the r
Representatives. Asa eousi qoence ol this
Dianral activity cnmei in due course the
determination te to. low great principles,
and to legard public men as worthy t
honor and trml only when thev are the
sxponcnts ol principles, and when they
tr iwn down nfforts to snbnrdinste the in

their personal inlliinccs.
One remarked characteristic of the
teachings of The Observer Imm the day
when it was G st printed until now, has
been Us intensely North Carolina faith,
pride and Live. O ir faith if a practical
iaith 0 ir pride is a just and an honora
ble pride not leaning tor support upon
accidents, hut founded nn her put and te
cent deeds and upon her luture capabili
ties. The love we have Inr the Slate is a
iart ol us, was born with ns, has lived
with as and will die with as. We can no
mord explain it than we can our lore 1 1
what is right. It cornea naturally to oi r
duty to teach it to our people. We be
lit v.; with the simple-! Iaith that there is
o immense undirelopet love Inr the Sta
io our people, hut, we repeat, it has n .
been educa'ed to rent itself. The chio
nel through which this gnat mine ot fu
ture wealth lor us is to he reached is a
proper pride in i nr riaoorn-s. We bin
stood by with ur hats in aur hands and
have allowed other Ptatcs by t In ir ver
stll-cenfldent ttrtngth to tnke the prece
dence ol us in nalional affiiit. We have
men in rur high places who are the peers
ol the sons ol any Statu It is a great
wrong that we do eureelvts when we
throw high honors upon ve el our no
blest nitir ns and tm-o quietly look on
upon him as oiice a Ring always a Kins?,
an4 to be nothing beyond. It he is wor
thy and loyal the whole people shnulrf
bi-ar htm on their shoulders to the hiuliest
dignities. There is a chu-1 of our clans
who was born upon the banks of the
Roanoke, was nurtured in our home
r.hnels. bore off the honors ol the State
University, setved his country and com
monwealth in o vil employment, an ' when
war came serted his State and the South
with a dauntless outrage and a sweet
rouney that won lor hioi the name ol the
Sir Philip Sidney ol the army. His devo
tion lo his mother State did not wane
while she wept a widow over her lost
cbi'drrn. He was called by his old (riends
ai-d his new one to the councils d the
National Sentite. Since his appearance
Ui' B the fl iO'S ol this august body bis
influence and use'ulnese have grown apace
with his opportunities for good. A'lclna,
ing the Sinators but seldom, his wind lall
wrth easy grice up'-n willing and trust
ing ears. Like another great North
Ca'o'.ioa Senator, Willie P. Mangum. his

unsafe or unlair lo aay that he has a te
st rvt farce and a na'i.inal following fiat
do other Soiiilurn Sena'or has been
accorded since the war between the Slates.
He is wiser and giratt-r than the erratic
Hill. He is a sa'er leader than that other
great Georgian who has lost, we think,
aoroethiug of the dignity of the Senator
in becoming a favorite at the While House.
Lamar, a Kupert in debate, has not thrilled
the Nation with an o tio that will be
enrolled in our classic, and thai, to u-e
the language ot William Eaton, one ol our
best lawyers an t potest men, "will be
declaimed as a model of eli qui nce by the
lads of aur schools long alter he has
tested an his great Uureis Ire in his

In assigning to the South her place
among the national leadets in the coming
contest lor the Presidency, Nonh Carolina

that she will have the spontaneous en
