Gov. Jarvis is in the Western (part of
the State doing valiant service for him
self and the Democracy.
Oapt Bledsoe was feeling very well'
until reoently, when his opponent began
to give him "Musty Meal," this almost
overpowered him and he is now fast
sinking, Mi all hopes of his recovery
are gi7en up..
The ccatest In Indiana" is becoming
very heated. The force of Republican
money expended by Jewell id about
spent, and Barnum's superior judgment
will wia the day for the Democracy.
The tiix of affairs in Vir
ginia between the two wings of the Dem
ocratic party is encouraging. They saem
to he about to secure a harmonious set
tlement of their differences. Either
division will have Ave electors chosen
from its ranks and the choice of the
elevonth will be made by the National
Democratic Committee.
T«l rUIBNT CIIH7AIGX,
There can be co doubt, viewing every
thing by the light of events passed and
now (ndcingi that the present contest be*
great parties for aupremaey
has never been equaled in tbia country
and Its like will not be aeen for Tears to
soma. Freemen ,gv avians of oir country '•
liberties,look about you and see what all
this commotion means. Does it not mean
the >esto ration of tbat "Union which
Our forefathers made" and left as*a her
itage te us? And more, it meana "the
subordination of k the to the
civil poorer?"
Since the perpetuation of such heaven
born doctrinea la the sola aim of our
great statesmen -nd leaden, their im
portance and the shortness of the time
bids you strike with decision and vigor.
Tbe 3rat thing is to secure the election
of tbe presidential ticket, then the state,
nest the district, and laat the county
bat not least when we come to consider
onr local advantagea. And for tbe coun
ty we want each one V> work. Men of
Alamanoe, here i* your field; if you
doubt it semain idle aw you are new ui»
til pest November, and a cry will go up,
not from Alamance alone but from all
over tbe land, **We have lest a grand
victory and are doomed to serve and be
aubaarvient to laws and regulations in
consistent with our free institutions."
Be on yonr guard every one of you.

RILT« T)I.A v rtt VOIII PAPKNK.
No one will hardly deny (hi *w«i lion
that more votes cart be gained by the cir
culation of newspaper* {.than by th«
speeches of candidates. Usually the
8 peeclws go in one ear of the voter and
come out of the other, but if a good po
litical paper is sent eveTy week to a
doubtful vot*ir, he will read it and grad
ually ■become influenced by it. It costs
much le«it to circulate these campaign
papers than to pay the expenses of
speakers, and so, if (he influence of the
former is great#»B thanjthat of the latter,
Why do not our executive committees
encourage the former? The Republi
cans on the other hand, rightly appre
ciate the value of ft newspaper's influ
ence, and therefore, they are sending
hundreds of copies of their organs gra~
tuitously over the State. * * * We
would suggest this to the serious and
immediate consi Jeration of our town
ship committees. If anything is to be
done, it should be promptly done, as
there is no time to be lost.
The above from the Chatham Record
is too true to be passed over in silence.
The same is the fact about the circula
tion of Republican organs in this couc*
ty, hundreds of copies are being circu
lated gratuitously. ,
We belitvo it the most efficient way
te move the people. Printed matter is
more lasting in its effect than more utter
ances from the stump". And weheartily
join with the Record in urging the ex
ecutive committees, both State and coun
ty to take hold ot this matter at once.

HOW THE DEMOCRACY SUSTAINED THE
UNION.
But 1 have not done with the false
claim of the Republican parly. I pro
pose to day to bury it so deep by tacts
and figures that only the dupes ot dema
gogues can longer be gulled by it. The
Democratic State of Missouri alone, in
which Mr. Lincoln ltecieved but 17,028
votes in 1860 furnished 199,111 men to
the Union army—a greater number than
WSB furnished by all the Republican
States of Vermont, Rhode Island, Min
nesota, Nebraska aud Kausas put to
gether. Neither Michigan, Wisconsin
uor lowa furnished as many troops to
the Union army as Missouri. John A.
Dix aud Daniel S. Dickinson, of New
Yoric, Lewis Cass, ot Michigan, aud
Stephen A. Douglass, ot this State, all
life long Democrats aud leaders ot ibat
party. The moment Fort Sumpter was
fired upon came out in public speeches
tor the Union. Gen. Cass said:
"He who is not for his country is
against her. There is no neutral ground
to be occupied.'
Douglas declared:
'There can be no neutrals in (bis war
only patriots or traitors. ♦ ♦ * I express
it as my conviction before "God tbat it
is the doty of every American citizen to
rally around Ibe flag ol bis country.'
Tho eloquent Baker, tben a Senator
from Oregon, said:
"We are all Democrats; we are all Re
publicans. We acknowledge the sover
eignty ot tbe people within tbe rulo -o(
the Constitution, and under that Con
stitution and beneath that flag let traitors
beware."
Had the Democrats favored the re
bellion as they are now falsely charged
by tbe Republicans with baring done, it
must have been a success, and Ibis glori
ous Union, with its presont greatness
and bopes for the iuture, must bare per.
ishad from the earth. So far from the
Republican party having pnt dowu tbe
rebellion and saved the Union, it was
th 3 patriotic Democrats with Republi
cans who raliled to its support tbat saved
it, a thing which neither could have
done without tbe aid of the other. What
and whom would tbe Republican sol •
diers of Illinois have had to meet had it
been true, as Republicans fal«ely charge,
that the Democrats of tbe State opposed
the war? As I have thown already tbev
have had to meet, iu the first instance,
nearly an cqnal number of Democi ats ol
our own State, and who would have led
them? Generals Grant and Logan, both
ot whom al tbat lime were Democrats.
Tbe only vote ever east for President
by General Grant waa for James Buch
anan, and Geneial Logan aa late as 1862, i
was a member of Congress, elected b\
Democrats, and acting wilb the Demo
cratic party. Ido not mention tbia by
way of assailing either General Grant or
Gereral Logan, both of whom performed
gallant servioe tor their eountry, bul
they were both Democi ats when they
entered the army, whatever they may be
now. It would be a reflection upon
either of these gentlemen, as it would be,
and is, upon every True soldier, to say
that be entered tbe service tf a partisan
and tor party purposes. In tbe language
of tbe eloquent Baker, we were aH Dem
oerats, we were ail Republicans, in our
efforts to save the Ucion, and no man
deserves tbe name of patriot wL o enter* I
ed his country's service merely for self
ish or parly purposes. Let as hear no
more ot thi» false elahn of Republicans
tbat they crushed out the rebellion."
well might it be elaimad tbat the Demo
crta Hd it, for without their aid it could
not have bceu done.
Nor is it Ir IIO that the itcpub icana
abolished slavery. That was the result
of circumstances, and was accomplished
by what is known as the Hiirtecnth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, which I had the honor of
reporting to the United Slates, Senate by
which it was passed April 8, 1864, by (he
requisite two thirds vote. But It failed at
that session in the House of liepresenta
tives. The vote by which it was defeat
ed was reconsidered at the next session,
ant 1 it was I'le.i passed, sixteen Demo
crats voting in its lavor, without thirteen
of whose votes it could not have been
pa«3ed. So you see that the claim ot the
Republican party that it abolished
slavery, like mauy of its other claims, is
false.
CAN A REPUBLICAN CONSISTENTLY VOTE
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET?
It seems to me that no original Re
publican who prefers principle to party,
right to wrong, and fairness to dishons
esty, can longer act with such an organi
zation. Where, than, shall he go? Can
he consistently vote tha Democratic tick
et ? That party lias been out of power
twenty years. More than hall its voters
as well as those of the; Republican party,
have become such since 1860. It is not
tl erefore, composed of the 6ame person*
as were in power at the commencement ot
the war of the rebellion. It is to-day the.
open and avowed advocate of Ihe prins
ciplca and policy declared in the fourth
and sixth resolutions of the Republican
platform of 1860. One of the fundament
al articles of its creed "is the right of
each State to order and control its own
domestic institutions according to its
own judgement." This does not
the right of a Slate to secede from the
Union any more than it did when eni
todiedin the Republican platform of
1860; but it means just what it 6ays:
The right of the Stale to control its do
mestic affiirs without interference by
the federal government in its elections,
by ft deral officials or a lawless, armed
force under any pretext whatever, (Ap
plause.) The Democratic party as such
was never a secession party, though
some of its members, as members
of the old Whig and Abolition party,
were nulliflers and secessionists. Some
of the Abolitionists were accustomed to
denounce the Constitution of the United
States as "a league with the devil, and
a covenant with hell." It was General
Jackson the leader of the Democracy,
who so effectually crushed out the doc
trins ot nullification and secession in 1832
(hat it did not again show its head nntil
1860, when the war followed, ai.d buried
it forever beyond the power ot resurec
lion. (Applause.) Neither secession
nor African slavery will ever tronble us
more. The charge that "the pledge to
the constitutional doctrines and tradi
tions of the Democratic party as illustra
ted by the teachings and example ot a
long line of Democratic statesmen and
patriots," means a pledge to the doctriiig
of secession, is a» far from the truth as it
would be to charge the Republicans of
1856 with being secessionists because
they favored the rcsioring the action o 1
tne federal government to the principles
ot Washington and Jefferson. It is only
to tho constitutional doctrines of the fa
thers that the Democracy pledges itself,
and, unless Republicans believe that se
cession is a constitutional doctrine, how
ean tbey charge that pledge to mean se
cession ?
THE ONLY NATIONAL PARTY.
The Democratic party it now the only
national party of the land. (Cheers.) It
duds its supporters both iu the North
and the South, and expects to elect its
candidates by electoral votes coming
from each. Hancock and English cau be
elected iu no other way. Choose, them
for your President and Vice-President,
and it will put an end to sectional strife,
and the people of (bis whole couutry
will be prepared to go forward as one
people to the destiny that awaits them,
of soon becoming the most prosperous
and the most powerful nation that ex*
ista on the face of the globe, and, what
is belter than ull, we shall be a people
whose rights and liberties are regulated
and protected by coustitutioual law.
f Prolonged Cheers.]
„ Little more need be said of Hauoock
and English than that they both possess
iho Jeflersonian qualifications for office.
That tbey are hones' no mau questions
There is uo smell of corruption or the
improper receipt or misuse Of money
about the garments of either. That tbey
are capable, the able and efficient dis
cbarge of public trusts abuudantly
proves. That IheyNwill be faithful to
we have the highest evi
dence in that tbey have ever made it the
guiding star of their politioai action.
Tbey are both committed by their letters
of acceptance to the principles enunciated
in the Democratic platform; but what
|is more satisfactory still, is the ability,
I statesmanship aud courage shown by
Gen. Uanoock in his privato letter to
Gen. Sherman, writteu years ago at a
most critical lime in OHr history, and
witboat any view lopoli'ieal preferment.
In that letter be shows a thorough knowl
edge of onr system of government; that
he has opinions, and is not afraid to ex
press tliem; that he has the moral cour-.
age to 4*re to do right, a quality in
which Gen. Garfield has shown himself
sadly deficient.
The Democratic party has now becomo
the ynrty of reform, and, thank God!
jjie signs from every quarter give prom-*
i-e that the time drawetb nigh when it
will be afforded an opportunity, both in
this slate and the nation, to look into the
accounts so long kept by RepnblU
cans. [Loud and prolonged applause.]
GARFIELD'S PART IN THE ELECTO RA L
FRAUD,
General Garfield, who was|pie of tho
Electoral Commission, in his opinion in
the Louisiana case, said:
••The determination ot the board, if
not overruled by the Courts of that state,
is the final and conclusive decree of the
stale itself. * * * Neither Congress
nor this commission has anv authority to
inquire whether there was fraud or er
ror in the process by which tho determi
nation was reached."
In the Florida case, where the deter
mination ot the slate canvassers was
overruled by the courts of the state, Gen
eral Garfield held that it made no differ
ence. These Jecisions ot General Gar
field were under an act of Congress which
raquired him, as a member of the com
mission, to decide "what persons were
duly appointed electors" from the states
of Florida and Louisiana, and he took an
oath that he would "impartially examine
and consider all questions submitted to
the commission." I have shown you
how he performed that duty, llow lie
kept his oath let him answer to his con
science and his God, but tor that fraud
practised upon the American people they
will hold him responsible.
TUB NONHKNBEABOUT SOUTHERN
CIJAIMS.
[From the Baltimore Sun.]
The New York Tribune is credited
with the ingenious device ot reviving
the old "rohrbach," which was used so
industriously in Maryland in the cam>
paigns ot 1867-68, to the effect that it
llancock is elected the Southern people
will claim and make the United States
pay them the value of their emancipated
•laves. Besides overlooking the lourth
section ot the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution, which says, ''But
neither the United States nor any state
shall assume or pay any obligation -in
curred in aid of insurrection or rebellion
against the United States or any claim
for the loss or emancipation of any
slave, but all such debts, obligations and
claims shall be held illegal and void,"
the Tribune seems to have overlooked
the statistics of the case. The value of
the slaves emancipated, at S3OO a head,
would be $1,200,000,000. TMs money
would have to be raised by taxation and
a loan, and to take the first steps in the
mailer the assent of two thihls the voters
in Congressional elections and of three
forth will tax themselves to recoup to
one-third of the States had any slave
property, so the proposition is that three
fourths the states would to bo obtained.
But only one-third a dobt, the validity of
which three-fourths have denied, and the
immorality of which thoy have vehement
ly proclaimed. More than this, the voters
at the next presidential election will be
hard upon 10,000,000, of whom two
thirds of 6,C00,000 will be required to as
sent to the proposition before Congress
will give the people a chance to act upon
it. But the Tribune has established,
time and again, that theie were onl>
350,000 slaveholders iu the United States
in 1860, so that when the Tribune's pre
diction comes to pass we will witness
the reireshiug spectacle of 6,600,000 men
voting to open op a settled question of
a debt which never existed, and 7,500-.
000 men voting to pay $1,200,000,000,
which they never owed and no occaseion
to reimburse, to 350,000 persons who
neither a&k nor expect it. Campaigu fig
ures are sometimes more startling than
campaigu stories.
TBV CAMPAIGN,
(From the New York Star, Aug. 21st, 1880.)
At noon yesterday a delegation of six*
ty prominenent New Jersey Democrats
called at the National Democratic head
quarters, where they were cordially re
ceived by Chairman Barnutn of the
National Committee and Hon. Orestes
Cleveland, the member ot the Nstiona!
Committee from New Jersey. Mr. Cleve
land stated thai the meeting was brought
about by himself; that he Bent for a Dem
ocrat lor every Assembly District in the
state in order that the National Commit
tee might get a report of the sentiment
of the people of the various districts of
the slate. Nearly every man invited was
present, but the committee failed to
learu from any ot tliem of a single in
stance iu which a Democrat is dissatifled
with the nomination of Hancock. On
the contrary, there is more interest
jaken in the election and more enthusi
asm over the nomination itself than over
the nomination of any candidate since
the McClellan campaign ol 1863, and it
is believed that the slate will be carried
by 16.000.
••This estimate has been made before,"
continued Mr. Cleveland, "but it was
doubted, and I sent lor these gentlemen
iu order that we might ascertain the true
state of the case. And the estimate is
folly sustained by the reports,"
The Republicans of the 6tb Congres
sional district met in coiiYeutiou in
Greeusboro last Wednesday. J. B. Gret
ter, of Greensboro, was elected chairman
and Col. W. A. Albrij lit ot this place,
secretary. Col. T. B. Keogh, of Greens
