The deetrnclives are very much
alarmed at the probability ' that many
of the (bounties in this section of the
Slato that they had calculated OH M
sure for Convention candidate8,goiiig for
men who are opposed to changing our
present Constitution, and are In exta
cies of rage and disappointment, and
are calling in all the help, they can
pdssibly command. They hare impor
ted from the Western part of the State
a dirty vulgar fellow named ( Leach
who by his baseness and disgusting
record is held in the utmost contempt
among the people to whom lie ifl best
known, and he is the man whom they
have brought here to tell decent men
how they should vete.
This man Leach is a miserable, dirty,
vulgar blackguard, and his language
and conversation is that of a bawdy
house pimp rather than that of a gen
tle ui an. No decent man can listen
to his. tirade of billingsgate and
abuse without feeling the utmost con
tempt for the miserable fellow.
mm
la 1871 tho people of North Carolina
voicd agaiust a Convention by over
uinc thousand majority. They did not
choose to trust their rights and liber
ties to the mercy of Democratic trick
sters and hungry lawyers. The last
Legislature, aware of the indignation
expressed against the measure in 1871,
did not dare to leave the question
agaic to the people, but forccd,a Comven
rion upon them. Let all Who -voted
agaiust Convention in 1871 remember
that by voting forRepublican delegates
the revolutionary attempt will be again
defeated. Republicans are pledged to
an immcdateadjournmenr, thus saving
hundreds of thousands, and probably
millions of dollars to the tax payers of
the State. If Democrats shall control
then the ieople will have continued
s'.rife, and all the rights accorded to
them byi.thc Republican party will be
taken away. The fight is narrowing
down. The oligarchs aro making a
desperate attack upon popular rights,
and it behooves every true man to come
to the rescue.
TUB CHIVALRY.
At Clarktou depot. Drown Marsh
Township, Bladen county on July 31
there was a political meeting held which
I ffjMaddresscd by J. W. Russ, Demo
L. Mabsou, Esq., of New Hanover, u
requcst,was present to represent A. Mc
Donald, Esq., Republican candidate,
that gentleman being detained by sick
ness.
Reforc the spcakiug began the ques
tion was asked by the Republican Ex
ccutivc Committee if a division of
time would be allowed Mr. Moibuen.
John D. Currie answered that lie, Mab
son, could speuk anywhere he pleased
out of his sight. Mr. Russ was applied
to, and his answer was a most emphatic
no. 'The speaking took place from the
piazza of Claik & Currie's store, and
Mr. Mabsou was informed that heceuJd
not seak fioni that place. He then
applied for permission to address his
hearers from the platform of the ware
house of the Carolina Central Railw,
but John II. Clark, agent of the com
pany and in charge of the warehouse,
said that Mr. MabaoD, could not use the
railroad platform for the purpose. Fail
ing, in these attempts, Mr. Mabson
mounted a slump by the side of the
railroad track and made one of the
tiut telling speeches of the campaign.
The miserable destructives were
afraid to allow au argunic ment to be
made against the convention movement
and d.id all in their power to prevent a
free discussion, but the Republicans
and anti-convention Democrats had
made up their minds to hear the other
side, and hear it they did.

Got.' Manly's Opinion.
Lei the old line1 Whigs 6f North
Carolina read the following extract
from Governor Manly's message to the
LcgiaUture in 185), before they decide
to vote for delegate to the coming
Convention who favor radical reforms
in the present Constitution :
" Is the power, U call a Convention
by the General Assembly confined to
the single office of calling it, or, can
the sarae Legislature limit and confine
the powers of th Convention in the
acts calling it? As there are conflic
ting qpinions upon this question out of
the Assembly, it is probable they will
exist in It. ,
It cannot be doubted that a Conven
tion called by the General Assemby
(two-third concurring) would be cloth
ed with unlimited diteretion over the
Convention. The General Assembly
has power to call a Convention into be
ing, but no yt of themselcr ff? pre
tcribe a limit to its atdhority. , I hazard
little in saying that the people of North
Carolina have not hitherto exhibited a
strong desire for such an experiment as
this'upontheir government ; and, there
fore t behooves their, Representatives
to look well to the mode they adopt
for introdicing rcfoTms! into the Con
stitution." The following delegates in the Seces
sion Convention of 1861 are candidates
for the Convention of IS75:
Ex.-Gov. W. A. Graham, Ex Gov. D.
S. Keid, Hon. W.T. Dortcb, Hon. John
Manning, Col. Wm. Johnston, and Col.
John XT. Cuininghaflh
The following delegates to the Con
vention of lS'J-3 are candidate for the
Convention of 187f:
Hon. R. P. Buxton, ,of Cumberland ;
James Ituraley, of Carteret ; Dr. Wm.
Barrow of Northampton , Wm. T. Fair
cloth, of Wayne; T. J. Jarvis, of Pitt;
J. Q. A. Bryan, of Wilkes ; R. W.King,
of Lenoir.
The following members of the Con

ConvenTrfon jf 1875 :
Plato Durham, of Cumberland ; A.
W. Tonrsree. of Guilford : J. Q. A.

The Concord Suu, Democratic, has
this about the Convention:
" We think that In their r.cal to do
the country a great service, the Legis
lature inflicted a blow, that will take
prudent counsel and hard work to over
come. "When this body (the Conven
tion) ifescmblcs, they do not propose to
alter or wned this or that chapter and
section of Battle's Revisal, set aside, in
whole or in part, any obnoxious law

ence of the Judges of Election and
Registrars and of any of the electors
who may wish to be present; and after
being counted, &c, are to be returned
as prescribed in the Convention Act.
Note. It will be seen from the fore
going, that the provisions for registra
tion are the same as those required for
the election of members of the General
Assembly, The last Legislature amend
ed the act further In this particular.
No candidate for ofllco should be either
a Registrar or Judge of Election. J
qther respects, the law is the. same; ex
cept; as the decision of the Supreme
Court above .aJIifdedTlo, ;n regard to
the effect of the affidavit of the person
proposing to vote, which is conclusive.

The Democratic papers arc assuring
the 'dear people' that in the event of a
Democratic majority iu the convention
the homestead is in no danger and uses
this argument:
'Nine-tenths of the laud-holders in
the State are Democrat. The Demo
cratic party stands' pledged to maintain
the homestead; The charge then is
false that tho convention would if it
could, interfere with it.
Very good; nine-tenths of the land
holders arc Democrat.' What kind of
Democrats ? Why ;x?r Democrats who
aro to-day, with their honiesteads safe,
supporting a whole host of lawyers.
Yes, poor Democrats, who are not lead
ers iu the party, who do not control it,
and for whom the leaders have only
caro or thought but as instruments to
elevate them to power, and would be
as readily sacrificed to the wealthy
Democratic Moloch Jas poor Republi
cans. The Democratic party, through
its leaders, such as Senator Merrimon
and others, 'stand pledged' to have
such a supreme court organized fs
would virtually destroy the cllieacy of
the homestead clause. lr men, with
out regard to politics, you can - be saf
only in Voting against delegates that
are in favor of a convention,!!! this way
ouly securing your homestead. AVic

When Democratic candidates talk of
civil rights, tell them about the infa
mous system of concubinatie that pre
vailed during the time their party held
power in tho south, and sail their at
tention to the fact thathuudrcds of
Democrats who turn up their noses ul
Republicans do not hesitate to carry
out the practice still, regardless of race,
