This was the enter ing vvedne that was to split the solid South. The next move t ) break the line- of l)enio rne was in North Car olina. The voters here were to be bet rayed into the Ke publiean fold, but under the e-uise of the great Liberal movement; and load by such men as Col. Win, Johnson, Charles Priee, Tyre York ami others of less note, this piece of treaehry bid fare to be a success; hut when the smoke of the battle had cleared a woy, it was found, that like P.emidict Arnold, their lead ers had landed theinelves in to the llepubli nn camp, but without any tereeptable fol lowing. The Democratic party be ing founded upon the eternal principles of justice, gather ing strength and power from every engagement, complete ly routed the party of mo nopoly, fiust!?', high taxes, force bills and billion appro priations, in the last election, and seemed to be in the very threshold of another great national victory. But treach ery is again in the very air. A few un pi incip'ed. ambitious demagogues having been ele vated to high positions in a 7o;e oidor, seem to be com pletely intoxicated by the up per air, and hope that by the disruption of old parties and the general wreck of matter a fortunate wave may lift them to the front. Hut this, lik - all other attempts to dis member the true party ofthe p-ople in the Old Xoith State, is destined to meet with an ignominious failure. Ambi tion must ha ve got in its per iect deadly work, before h.L. Polk invited the leaders of the so called peoples' party, (a party formed principally by dissatisfied, sore-headed. Kansas .Jahawkers to come to .North Carolina to pro claim the unsearchable riches of this new plan of salvation. Put, we are not alarmed at the solvent of this new party, tor when the people. Move spo ken you will hear no more of the party of Simpson, Peffer & Co. in North Carolina, and we firmly believe that such men as V. S. I loll, I)r. R. L. Real I and J. C. Scarboro will yet preserve the farmers' Al liance and save it from the destruction that now seems iminent through the machi nations of its highest officers. 'Deacon" White the head of the New York firm that got choked to death with corn a lew days ago, was a republican Representative in the Fiftieth Congress, and was jocularly known as "the member from Wall street," although it was.a Brooklyn" district that he had represented.

Oh fraud! one of thy most sediu-tive aliases is "protective tariff." It looks very much as if the I'.laine boom sns being manipulated solely to kep other possible competitors )ff the track in order that Mr. Harrison may get all the neee-sary wires laid for a re nominatin. Wien this .be comes certain lookout for n mutiny in the republican camp, but it will be too late, unless all present signs are at fault, to pi event the con summation ot Mr. Hatvison's designs. We would mir.'h pre fei Mr. Harrison as the re publican candidate as he rep resents everything that is most vicious in the republi can creed more fully than any other one man in that party, and will therefore be the e isiest man to defeat. Some people are disposed to criticise Representative Mills because of his recent 0 hio speech which took the ground t hut the supreme is sue in the contest between the republican and democratic parties and that ad other is sues are secondary, but no good democrat should do so. Mr. Mills is right. The tar iff is the oneissueupon which there is no division in the democratic ranks and for that reason, if for no other, it must be kept at the front. Let us get possession of all branches of the Movernment first, then we can take up and settle inside the party all the other questions. Representative Mills about sized up the financial situa tion when he said in his open ing speech in Ohio: -"Let us nor be deceived by Hupeiiicial appearances. It is the scar city of money in the pockets of the people who earn it that pioduces the distress. If our cir ailation was today double what.it is, nnd it was all in the pockets of a hun dred thousand people, our condition would not be bettered but it would be worse than it is. It is not the small circulation, it is the small distribution that plagues us." The Tennessee legislature declined to accept the respon sibility placed upon it by the Governor of that State when called in extra session, and the convict lease law still re mains up o n the Statute books of the State to make future trouble.

O.ir county is located in the northeasteml of the great plateau formed and lying be tween the Blue Ridge and the higher range of the Smoky Mountains. Thisfcreat and elevated plateau embrucesthe Western division of North Carolina and contains 5,000 square miles. The Grandfa ther peak or mountain, the highest elevation of the Plue Ridge, is 5,807 feet above sea hvel. Boone, the highest county seat east of the Rocky Mountains, is 3,242 feet high. The valleys of New River, Cove Creek, Watauga River and Banner Elk are respect ively U09; 3,000; 2,917 and 3.G9G feet high, or that num ber of feet above the level of the Pen.' Thus we see that the altitude of our mountains and valleys which are well wa tered and drained by the New and Yt atauga rivers and their tributaries, give us oneofthe most desirable sections of W. N. C. Its soil, climate and production embracing all the grains, grasses, fruits and vege t a b 1 es a n d t i m 1 1 r r m w Inch are common to the Temper ate zones.

And still betfer, our moral, social, and religious attain ments are of a high order. Our churches, our ministry, our Sunday schools, are ele vating the public mind, while our common schools, acade mies and seminaries are edu cating our young people arid fitting them for future useful ness.
