Second,the Ihole strength of. the Democracy sLoalA W utilized. Organization of lvr most systematic kind should be ciTccted. ir there is organization there w ill he 'general registration. In 'th.L' fiiini District thTre is more or fess of apathy. Col. Green ought to be electt'tl by at least 2,000 majority That is to say, if every man; in the District not a Radical would vote for liiin he would receive thjat majority .at the lowest calculation. If we are not -in error there were some' 7,000 men in 18 1 8 in the Third District who refused to- go to the polls. Of this number some 4,800 were Democrats, as may be; ascer tained by taking Col. -WaddefTs ma jority in 1876 and then Rnssell's ma jority in 1878 as a basis of calcula tion. Why should Democrats hesitate Id do their .duty in this important -campaign ? They, cannot - possibly desire the election of jjjir. Canaday, the Radical candidate. , ; jf. so, they are very curious Democrats,; for, Mr. Canaday scarcely holds one principle . in common with tne Demoeratic party. It will be a -curious j - way to maintain your own principles by se lecting a servant to carry them , out jlk violently antagonizes them and will trample the last one ,of them un der foot. If you hitch Canaday to tii Democratic wagon you will never getil up the hill.. If yon refuse to vote at all you aid Canaday to that ex'tent. You- make; his contest the easier and lessen therebyj his chances of tlefeat. You are in fact putting a log before the wheels of the Detn oratic wagon. If a man who . pre tends for one moment to bp a Dem- oevat votes' for Canaday then he is tail-board hitching a horse on to the of the wagon and is trying not only to stall it but to pull it down hill. . I Are the Cape Fear- Democrats made o f such material ? . There: is nsit a single reaspn that will bold water for a second that can be given why any Democrat should ' not vote .for Col. Green, Those:, who : know. : Imu best Honest. and longest 'esteem him If there is "at mean streak i hiiti his most intimate friends have n;'ver been able to discover it.

He is hardly as much of a success as Dockery, Jim Leach and Charles Price. This Radi caltrio have spoken to the smallest gatherings .sometimes ever heard of in the State.- In fact, 1 Dockery on two or three occasions had. scarcely any one to whom to speak shis cut-ahd-dried compilation of demagogcry and rant. - Well, Ike has been in Cumberland county. In advance yellow posters were sent out to announce his coming. On last SaturdaV, a correspondent in forms us, be spoke in Fayetteville to a feto negroes three white Jiadi cals. Fact. 1 Op Wednesday he went to Manchester jto-frTl a much adver tised appointment and not one single inan, white or black, met him there. When he was nearing the -village he met Buck Murchison, a; true Demo crat. Ike asked where was the, speak ing to be. "What sort of speaking?" "Why, Republican speaking?" "We are all Democrats this way, andrdon't take any Radicalism in our,sy' was the reply., Ike took the next train for Raleigh. Ike constituted in him self the big crowd at Manchester. The people do not seem to be dying to hear his oratory this year. He came, he saw, he vamosed. Ike is a. good I sort of fellow, and we are sorry for him. ..: - v ' - .-. . Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, of New; York, is certainly one of the, . ablest Northern men now in the Congress of the United States. He is a can didate for , re-election and we hope will be successful. He is largely m-i terested in iron mines, but he r is not like the Radical party in North Caro lina blind to the inequalities, and 'ab surdities of the present war tariff. Hence, in a published letter , in the New York Times, dated 24th inst., he says : , "Meanwhile I am content with the atti tude which I intend to occupy as a.pror eressive revenue reformer, m favor 01 xree raw material and of the lowest possible rate of duty which will not be destructive 01 any existing branch of business employing very considerable capital or any large num ber of workmen; At tne same ume l i&Ke no stock in the doctrine that protection raises the current rate of wages, but on the contrary I think that the higher rate of wages prevailing in this country is due .to our great natural advantages and. cheap land." Tlie outlook in France seems to be more threatening and serious hour-. ly. What .does it all mean ? They have a Republic a strong govern ment, such as . the . Radicals in" this country desire and are aiming to. achieve, and there: are no special oppressions of which , we arc 'aware. ; What then stirs the. malcontents and threatens to precipitate a revolution or something else to be deplored.

Everybody was Jn good' humor, and one. could not -.turn a corner - without hearing the exclamation: -Old Zeb is here and is going to srjeafctaigil!-. No man living has inelt a hold npon 'the popular Ticart is Vance, and this was clear ly demonstrated here1 last evening, ' for we saw men upon the streets who seldom leave . .their homes after ! dark j and never attend; political meetings;-but who were-as eager to see and to hear him as the most Enthusias tic young American.5'"' Shortly after 7 olclock there was a gather ing of the' clans at the City Hall with flam ing torches and transparencies, ' and at the hour named in the official programme- -the procession; headed by the mounted escort took up the line of march downr' Princess street to Front; and down Front to the Pur cell House,' when receiving ' the distin guished visitor,- they moved up - Market street to Third to the stand prepared 1 for the speaking. V It was an oration; such a one as only Vance could inspire, and shows how strong is the affection felt for him by all classes of our people. -Great credit ? Is due to the committee, and to the young men particularly for the perfect manner in which the arrangements were carried -out. , We think there Were at least fifteen hun dred people, present, indTery. many-, ladies graced the occasion with their presence. ,. After music by the band the Hon. George Davis arose and in his peculiarly felicitous manner introduced the orator of the even ing. As soon as the well-known form of the Senator appeared upon the stand cheer upon cheer went up from ithe vast multi tude, and it was some time before silence could be obtained, for the people wanted to and would ' hurrah ! anyhow. : Quiet at : length reigned and the Senator commenced his speech. It was a speech of great power, ' argumentative and logical, showing the falsity of Radical profession and how recre-; ant they had been in the fulfilment of any promise they had made to the. people;: it was a summary of the doings of that party; ! contrasted with what the Democratic party; had done. ' He showed - that there were, between four and five hundred! thousand children in the State; black and white,' now being educated at the expense of "the State, and that there was no increase in the taxes. Normal schools' had - also been es tablished, an Asylum for the Deaf, Dumhf and the Bund, and ' lor tne insane ox tne colored people had-been budt and were ui4'xmpU8bed'Vuid 'feas(R-dangter,:'Miss Agricultural Bu4 reau of great benefit ' to the farming interi ests of tbe State- had been organized, the: . -.37 --;t .... i interest on the State - debt promptly met and nearly six hundred miles of railroad built in North Carolina, and while all these thin gs had been done by the Democratic party there had been no- increase of taxes; while he defied the Republican party to show where they had ever piled one brick upon"' another for the -public good. He next turned: bis-attention to the Liberal Democrats, so-called, who were candidates for office, and allowed themselves to be made tools of by the RadicaV leaders, and held them up to public scorn, declaring that they had been -bought by-the promise of of fice and were Uie prorjerty of t the Radical party. His argument upon the tariff was ua answerable and. carried conviction to eve ry mind not 'governed by prejudice. Upon that most important question of all to this pectionof the State.viz: county government he was outspoken,- frank and manly in de fense of the present system; and his argu ment in favor of it -cannot be successfully refuted. ' ; ;' ' -r " - ; ' . We do not pretcjid to give" a report of the speech, but simply a glance .at its salient points. He closed With a fervent appeal to every man present to do. his duty, having spoken about two hours and a half. It was a speech that will do great good. We never saw so large a crowd so quietahd attentive. There was no noise or disturDance.and eve--ry one left the ground feeling that there was but one Zeb .Vance in America, and proud of the fact that Zeb was a Tar Heel.

' - Before proceeding directly to the pleasant task assigned him, he asked the indulgence of the audience for a few moments, that he might make a brief reference to the contest in the Third Con gressional District. .He then proceeded to make a most eloquent and stirring appeal to the Democrats of Wilmington to rally to the support of Cob Wharton J.
