Armfield hat been renom* mated tor Congress for the seventh dis trict. A negro was stabbed at Louisville, Kentucky, last week, for voting the Dem ocratic ticket; a%d still the cry of demo* craiio o«tinges continues unabated. The Democratic clubs of Raleigh, have on foot a project for a grand State Rati fication meeting some time during the „ campaign. A good move.' Alabama one of the states which Gen. Weaver claimed for the Greenbackers, has gone democratic by about seventy five thousand majority. We never heard of such a crop of can didates us Guilford has already produced in viww of the coming nominating con ventions; and Btill the work goes bravely on. • Gov. Jar vis and. Judge Buxton are con ducting a joint canvass in some of the eas tern counties. The reports of the seech es indicate that it is an entirely one sided aifair. The Judge is an easy victim for kis Adversary. While there are one hundred and thir ty six tbousard disfranchised voters in Massachusetts, it is strikes U8 as rather out of place to hear Republicans clamor ing for a free ballot. How does it strike you, dear reader? The campaign is progressing finely. The news comes from all parts that Hancock is gtfiuing rapidly. This is good news, but the half can ne'er be told, till November, when ha will receive the largest vote ever given to any man by the American people. To Greensboro M conceded the distinction of having more idle men than any other city of the name size in the State— O leaner. Bare Blander! The editor oulv saw the aspir arts for office canvassing.— Beacon. We isre indebted to one of our Greens boro exchanges for the fact set out in the squib above; BO we deny the charge of slander. Perhaps the editor of the Beacon in too busily employed to notice lazy pe >ple. The aspirants are evident ly'aot t Erwih & Holt want ♦ome and examine tlicii' m —L^IIH AIN l> IIOBUI^K Gen. Scales wis re nominated nt GreensWwro, Inst 1 ftuisdav, to Lent the banner of the Democracy in this district, and to represent us in Congress another term. The nomination of Gen. Scales is equivalent to an election. Besides being by far, the most popular man in the district, lie is a statesman' as well and is recognized as such at the National Capital. During the four terms that ho has served in the national legislature, he has reflected credit on thasa w'»o sent him to the seat he occupies in tlite coun cils of the nation, North Carolina is proud of hiui and will honor him by sanding him hack again. The nomination for Presidential elec tor could not have been better. Mr. Robbiu3 is a man of acknowledged ability. As a ounvassei he has few supeiiiors. He contributed in no small degree, to our success in 1876, when he was on the ticket in the same position that he now occupies. With Scales and Robbins, there can be no tfoufet of a grand victory for. the Fifth District. We look for a overwhelming mnjority. _ *■ MB. BitUMXil'B I.ETTGK. Gent'cmcn: I have now I lie honor to reply to your letter ol the 13th ins'.ant, informing me that I was uiiani monsly [ nominated tor the office of Vice Presi dent ot the United Slates by the lat# J Democratic National Convention which ; assembled at Cincinnati, AS foreshad owed in the verbal remaiks made by mo at the tiire of the delivery ot your letter, I have now to say that 1 accept the Idgli trust with a realizing sense of its respon sibility, and am profoundly grateful for tbo honor conferred. I accept the nomi nation upon the platform of principles adopted by the Convention, which I cor dially approve, and I accept it q,u.ite as ■ much because of my faith in the wisdom | and patriotism of the great statesman • and soldier ncuiinated on the same tick* 'et for President of the United States, j iiis eminent services to his country; Pis ' fidelity to Ilia Constitution, the Union I and the laws; his clear perception of the I correct principles ot government as i taught by Jeflersou; his scrupulous care |to keep the military in strict subordiuu j lion to tue civil authorities; hid high re gard for civil liberty, personal rights, and rights of pioperty, his ackuowled gcd ability in civil as well as military af tairs, and his puio and blameless li'c, all point to him as a man worthy of the confidence of tho people. Not only a bravo soldier, great commander, wise statesman and pure patriot, but a provi dent, painstaking, practical man, of uu questioned honesty, trusted oiteu with important public duties, faithful to every trust, and in the full meridian of ripe j and vigorous muuhojd, he is, in my judgement, eminently fitted for tlio highest position on earth,the Presidency ot the United States. Not only is he the right man for tho place, but the time has come wkcu the best interests of the j country require that tho party which lias j monopolized the Executivo department jof the geueral government for the last t twenty years should be retired. The ! continuance ot that party iu power four I years longer would not be beneficial to the public, or in accordance with ' the spirit of our liepublicau institutions. Laws of entail hare not been fuvorcd in our system of Government; perpetuation of property or place in one family or set of mou has never been encouraged iu this comrtry, and the great and good men 1 who formed our Republican government and its traditions wisely limited the ten ore of tho office, and iu many wnj a showed their disapproval ot long leases of power. Twenty years of continuous power is long enough, and has already led to irregularities and corruptions which are not likely to bo properly ex posed under tho same party that perpe trated them. Besides, it should not be forgotten that tho four last years ol pow- L . er held by that parly wero procured by discreditable means and held iu defl nitce of the wishes of a majority of the the peoplo. It was a grcvious wrong to every voter and our system of self Gov i eminent, which should never be forgoU ten or forgiven. Many of the men now iu offico were put tliero because of cor rupt partizan services in thus defeating the fairly and legally expressed will of the majority, aud llie hypocracv ot the professions of that party in lavor of civil service reform was shown by placing such meu iu offic£aud turning a whole brood of federal offico holders looso (o influence elections. The money of the people taken out of the public treasury by these men for services often poorly performed, or not performed at all, is be ing u«ed iu vast sums with the know) edge, and presumed sanction of tho Ad ministration, to control elections. Aud even members ol the Cabinet an strolling about the country making par* tizau speeches, instead of being in their depaitineuls at Washington dischar; iug the public duties for whiob they are paid by the people. Bnt with all thoir clever ness aud ability, a discriminating public Indianatolis, July 30 will no doubt read l»ct\ve n the lines of their speeches that their paramount hope and-aim is to keep themselves or their sate I ire's four years longer in office.. That perpetuating the power of chronic office holders four years longer will nut bcnc«i fit the millions of men and ivoineu who hold no office, but earn their daily bread bv hoiie«t industry, is what the same discerning public will no doubt fully un derstand: as they wHI also, that it is be*, cause of their own industry and economy and God's bountiiul harvests that the country is comparatively prosperous, and not because of anything done by these federal office holders. The country is comparatively prosjier om not because of them but in 6piie of them. This contest is in fact betwee-n the people endeavoring to regain the po liiical power whfch. rightfhlly belongs to them and to restore the pure, simple and economical Constitutional government of our fathers on one side, and a hundred thousand federal offi;e holders and their backers, pampered with placo anil pow er and determined to retain them at all hazards, on the other. lletice the constant a.cs'imptiou of new and dangerous powers by the general government under the rule of the lie publican party; the eflort to build up «ail a strong government; the interierxiMje- whh homo rulo ami with the administration ot Ju-stico: in the Conns of the several Suites; the In'.er- with elections through the medi um of paid partisan Federal office-holders interested in keeping tiieir party iu power, and caring more for that than tor fairness in elections. Lu tact the constant encroachments which have been made by that party upon tlie clearly res served rights ot the people and States, will, if not checked, subvert tho liberties of the people ami the government limited powers created by our lathers, and end in a great consolidated centril govern ment, strong indeed tor evil, and over throw of Republican institutions, Tho wise men who formed our Constitution knew the evils of strong government and long continuance ot political power in the same hands. They knew there was a tendency in this direction iu allgoyern 4>ienta, and consequent danger to liopub liean/insliluliyns Irom that cause and took [HUMS to guard against it. The nia chinery of a strong centralized gcuoVal government can be used lo perpetuate tUe same set of men in power from term to term, until It ceases to be a Republic, oi ls such only in name; and tho tendency of ttie parly now iu-power in that di rection as slmvu in various ways besides the willingness recently manifested by a large number of that party to elect a President for an unlimited number of terms, is quite apparent, and must satis* ty the thinking people thai the lime has come when il will be safest and best for that party lo be retired. But iu resisting the encroachments of the general govern ment upon the reserved lights of the people aud States, I wish to be distinctly understood as favoring a proper oxer cisc by the general government of tlie powers right!ully belonging to it under the Constitution. Eitcroachmcuts, upou the Constitutional rights of the general government, or interference with the proper exercise ot its powers, must be carefully avoided. The union ol tLe States under the Constitution must be maintained, and il is well known that this has always been tho position ol both candidates ou the Democratic Presiden tial ticket. It is acquiesced iu every* where now, and finally aud lorover set tled as ono cf the results of ihe.war. It is certain beyond all question that tho legiti mate results ot the war lor the Union will not be overthrown or impaired should the Democratic ticket be elected, in that event, proper, protccliou will bo given in every legitimate way, to every citizen, native or adopted, iu cvory section of the Republic, in tho eu joymcnt of all the rights guaranteed by Ihe Constitution and its amendments. A sound currency of honest money, ot value and purchasing power correspond ing , substantially with the standard recognized by the commercial \%orld, and consisting of gold and silver aud paper convertible into coin, will be maintained. Thelabor and manufacturing, commer cial aud business interests ol tho county will be favored aud encouraged iu every legitimate way. The toiling millions cf our own people will be protected irom the destructive competition of the Chi nese, aud lo that end their immigration to our shores will be properly restricted. The public credit will be scrupulously maintained and strengthened by rigid economy in tho public expenditures, and the liberties of tho people and the prop erly of the people will bo protected by a government of law and order, adminis tered strictly in tho interests of all people aud not of corporations and privileged classes. 1 do not doubt the discriminating justice of the people and their capacity for intelligent self-government, and ihcrcforo do not doubt the success ol the Democratic ticket. Its 6ticccss would nury beyond resurrection the sectional jealousies aud hatred which have so long been the chief stock in trade of pestifer ous demagogues, and in uo other wuy can this be so effectually accomplished, Jl would restore harm juy and good fccN jug between aH sections, and make us in fuel -B well as weW as in name, one people. The only rivalry then would be in the race lor the development of material prosperity, elevatiou of labor, enlargement of human and 'the promotion of education, morality, re ligion, Kberty, order, and all that would tend to make us the foremost nation ol the earth in the grand march oi human progress, lain, with great respect^. Yours very trnly,. WM. 11. Esmjush. To Hon. John. W. Stephenson, Presi dent of Convention, Hon. John. IJ.1 J . Stocton, Chairman, ami other members of the Committee of Notification. DO!f'T WlTia -vox." M KSBKS EBifous; in J lie lust issue of your paper appears a communication, signed "Vox*'in which, the writer nil vocates a joint con veitfioo of the democ racy of Guilford and Alamance, fur the purpose of nominating two candidates for Stale Senators fro.n the district compost dof these two counties. The reasuu given is the greater harmony that would tlins be brought to the party in this senatorial district. In support of this, two instances are cited Alamance nominee was defeated." These two coun'.i s have couipoS.nl a teuatori "al district we believe since 18C8. Guil ford is muJi the larger of the two, but it was aureed that each county should liave one of the two Senators; and it was also agreed that each county should name its own man. .Now, in the ap proaching election, which may be th« last in which the two counties will vote together, it is proposed lo change the 1 manner of selecting the candidates. Is thero good reason for the proposed change? Has there been a want of liar, mony and concert of action resulting from the mode of selecting candidates? In case of a joint convention, it being each county should have one of the candidates,would not each vir tually name its man? Tim charge that it is probable, or even possible, that the deinoctacy of one county ever has, or will talter in its support of the entire ticket, because of ttie fact that one of the candidates is from, and selected by the other county, might suggest conduct hurtful to both. That nothing in the past, on the part of the democracy of either county, can raise such apprehen heiision, a glance at the vote of the two eounties in previous elections must fully satisfy anyone. We will b-jgin with the election of 1872, the firit really free and full elee tion held iu iLn.se two counties, eince they formed one district. In that veat Alamance gave her candidate thirty votes more than sho gave the Guilford and Guilfoid gave her can didate twenty three votes moie than she gave the Alamance candidate Iu 1874 Alaaiance gavo the Guilford can didate sixty-six votes more than siin gave lier own man; aad Guilford ga*e her canditate thirty-one more votes than sho gave our Alamance candidate. In 1870 Alamance gave fifteen more votes for her own candidate than she did for the G'lilford man; and Guilford gave her candidate thirty votes more lliau she gave our Alamance man. In 1878, Alamance gavo the Guilford candidate seventeen more votes than sho gave her own man; and Gui fid gave h?r candidate a few more votes than the gave ours; just how many not remembered. Iu 1874, the Republicans ol Alamance ran an Independent tickec, which was tlected; save Sheriff, Register of Deeds aud one Commissioner. In 1878 there were two Independents for the Senate, one from Guillord and one Irooi Ala*- utance, aud tho Guilford ludep n lent beat l.oih the Democratic candidates in Gni'ford. Even in 1878 our candidates tor the Senate ran ahead of one at least Ol tlui rjgular nominees in Guilford. 1874 aud 1878, both beiug off years, thetfl was quit* a small vote in each county, lu both Guilford and Ala mance, at auy ol the - fuur elections above alluded to, we believe there has been a greater difference between the vote received by the nominees of each county respectively than betwean the Senatorial candidates. Th»re is always a difference betweeu the * >'es of candi date on the same ticket, ever, for presi- j deutial electors. No one who thinks,! will be at a loss to accouut f'oi this, es. j peoially where the election iu conhned to j oue or two counties, iu which the j candidates live and are well known. ' Personal likes and dislikca will vary ! the strict party vjte. Looking at the past eight years I can j see no good reason for changing the man*- j ner of selecting the two candidates Si j thia senatorial distrist. And surely l there is no reason for the democracy of one county to distrust tho good faith and fidelity of thu other in supporting its candidate. While it has so happeu> ed that Alamance has lost her nominee iu two electiouH,yet so far as 1 have heard fche desires no chauge iu the mode of t'aktQg tho nominations. At least thia is tho opinion of an ALAMANCE YCTER. The druggists of the State assemble iu Raleigh to-day, for the ptirposo pf form* ing a State Pharmaceutical Association. A man living near llbamkatte in Wake County, brought to Raleigh last Thurs* day, several nuggets of gold whioL ho had picked up iu Waluut Creek, and now several young ineu ot Raleigh are going to hunt nuggets to convert iuto campaign badges.
