The army should have nothing to ro WITH THE SELECTION OR INAUGURATION ot Presidents." Hancock's Letter to WE MUST WORK. While we contidentlv believe 'hat the ensuing election will re Milt in a complete democratic suc ccs, yet it can be achieved only by hard work. Because the out look is.no w so auspicious, and all the indications are most cheering, we must not rest supinely and quitely await the expected victory, which may be wrested from our grasp. With anything like a pro per effort the democratic ticket in this countr, as well as the State and national ticket, can be elected with i Tt..t.ii .1 large majoruics. ojumcvery uem- ocrat sits dowr. emovmo' his ease ocrat sits dowr, enjoying Ins ease and expecting somebody else to work for the ticket, then we do not , , ' 4 reserve and cannot expect any thing else than a disastrous de- - . oumos vt uj nv.iuvi vu without an effort, eo that if dem ocrats wish to be successful they must make an effort. The way to carry an election is for each man to feel that it depends upon his indi vidual effort. There is scarcely any man who does not have some influence, and the influence of one man, yea even one man's vote, may carry the election. The democrat ic party in North Carolina has too often suffered a humiliating defeat through the apathy of its members. Our neighbors of the third Con gressional District still feel the mortification of the defeat of the gifted Waddell two years ago, when thor sands of good (?) demo crats stayed .at homo. We hope that experience (an effective teach er) will have taught our peop'e not to be over-confident. Our op ponents are working actively and spending money lavishly for the success of their party, and surely ought not democrats do as much ? Have not we as much at stake as theyl Are we not as devoted to the principles of our party as they are? Dj we not believe in the truth and justice of our cause ? and is not that cause worth working for? Then, brother democrats let us be up and doing; lot us emu late the zeal of our opponents and let every one do his full duty. IMPORTANT ELECTIONS. The elections to be held next ! .

In this struggle between the of ficeholders and the people the for mer are contributing large sums of money to carry the election and thus retain their places. The ex ecutive committees of the republican party are levying heavy assessments upon the officeholders, and an im mense amount of monc' has been thus collected. It must be remem bered that there are nearly a hun dred thousand federal officeholders so that a few dollars from each one would make quite an effective cam paign fund. In this county alone there are two officeholders, each of whom (it is said) has contributed over a hundred dollars. The av erage assessments upon each office holder is said to be one tenth of his f alary. These who refuse to pay this exhorbitant assessment i-.ro promptlv discharged from their po- . . i .t t -i itions, and those who do pay are promised an increase of their sal a- rv if (InrhVhl is elortod.

Last week tliom vot. tins svstem or "nolitical i . r 1 . . . them, yet this system of "political assessments'' is wrong and should not be tolerated. If an officer can afford to contribute one-tenth of his salary for election purposes, it plain ly proves that his salary is too large and should be reduced: but if he cannot afford it then it is certainly wrong for his party leaders to force him to give for political purposes monev rnat is necessary ior nit vnir cw xoriv corresponacMi i" ; his inter, sting letter in this issue ai- hides to the figures "329" that are . . ii-i j now to be seen in every public place and as orac of our readers may not understand their meaning we will i a n i j uiiciiy VApiuin.
