Rooms of ttv Demo vatic Ezrculice Committee
RALKIUH, N. C., Sept., 1880.
In obedience to a time honored custom
this Committee gierts (lie great Demo
cratic piii ty of North Carolina, and con
gratulates it on the success.ul admiiilss
■ ration of the Hate government for tin*
past four years, and tlie- splendid pros
pec's ot the pari) for the Inline, both
State and national. Four years ago the
parly accomplished its first complete
suerc-s in the .State, and assumed entire
control of ilie State government. Since
iher they have wrought itriny impor
•taut changes and accomplished much
good foi the people. They have grehlh
relieved tlie people of the burden ot tax
iiiiou imposed upon by a Republi
can government, though the oljctsot
S ale care and expense have incieased.
They linvc completed an asylum for the
colored insane at Uoklsboro, and have
another in the process of completion for
the at Mcrganton. Th«y
have placed upon an efficient and per
m-incut basis, the school system of the
Stale, and thereby nHorded the best edu
cational advantages to all Ihe children oi
the State, both white anil colored. They
have rehabilitated and placed upon a
high anil eudtiring basis the University
of the State, Ihe Alma Mater of North
Carolina's past greatness, and the great
hope oMier future, which, under Repub
lican rule, had fallen to the level of a
e:in..'.on school. They have made an
honorable compromise of/he public debt
with the creditors of the Suite, wherebj
they have reduced that debt from $12,«
720,015 to sv>,sßS ; oll, with interest re
duced I rem fcix percent, to tour percent,
per a ilium, and with thirty years in
which to pay it, thereby relieving our
people of a debt that would liavo bur
dened them for many generations, mid
securing for Ihe State u first class posi
tion in the eortiineici.il circles of our
country. They have enacted the county
bill, i* hereby they emancipate tho white
people ol twenty-three liegro-iidiien
counties of the East from the dominion
of ignorant and corrupt local govern
ment, and save to these counties hun
dreds ol thousands of dollars. They
have adopted legislation concerning ihc
Western North Carolina Railroad, which
had lingered tor twenty-fivo years,
whereby the construction of that road
has become an assured facL without fur
ther cost to the State, thereby nflording
to the people and products ol that rock
bound section a safe anil cejiain outlet
to the great marts of. the world, ihey
have paiil ofl SOO,OOO of incumbrances on
the Cai c Fear and Yadkin Valley llail
-1 road, co.itrnoied under Repub ioan rule,
j ami built with onvict labor sixty miles
[ o | t i )a t road, without cost to the people
!of the State. All these and other works
of charily and internal improvement,
have been accomplished by the Demo
cratic party, and ut a cost greatly below
the anuual expense of the State itovcriu
incut under Republican rule. Such an
exhibit entitles the Democratic party to
the confidence and support of ihe people.
It affords the Committee groat pleas
ure to Aaiiotinw to the party the splen
did effect oft he recent Dominations at
Cincinnati and Raleigh, on the public
sentiment of the State. Ihe State Con-,
vention in the renomination of near!)
(be entire body of the old State officers,
presents to the people of North Carolina
a ticket seldom equalled and never sur
passed in lhis or any other Stale, in the
joint qualification of honesty and compc
tency. Their fidelity i» the past to tho
honor and iuterest of the State, in the
offices which thsy have so worthily filled,

Hut this coimnitieo his an abiding
lai ill that the people- of North Can li
na cannot betray into a suriC'ickr ol
that liberty dial they have achieved at
at such a cost. Let tlie [ coplc remember
that the Republican parly has never been
in power in NoUh Carolina but Iwo
years, and then eajjie intestine war, with
nei io soUliery and an outlawed com
mander, to oppress the while people ot
the State. Let them remember that
during ihese two years the Republican
party involved North Carolina in fraud
lent obligations, known as "the special
t.x bonds,'' iiQiouiiling in the aggregate
ol prirciptil and interest, to twenty one
millions ol dollars, which the people of
North Carolina are called upon* at Ihe
November electi >i», (o say whether or
not they will pnv. Lot them re me tuber
that lliomas J. Jarvis. or.r patriotic cair

Stale, so nb to forbid Ihe General As
sembly from paying these ' Special lax
bonds " or any part of liicm, and that
ibo whole of Ihe Republican parly in
that Convention voted against that ordi
nance and ileieated it. Let (hem rc
member that the Democratic legiclnturo
in 1870, in order to loicver destroy Ihese
bonds p .ssed a bill to amend the Cen
stitution ol ihe Slate, so as to forbid the
legislature ol the Slate from ever pay

part of them, which said amendment Jis
submitted in >'ovembcr nexl, lor Ibcl*

thus place the seal ot condemnation upon
that great fraud of the Logislalure of
1868, may be const' iied as nil endorse

bonds, K- hereby tliey wonU fuslen upon
themselves Ibis vast debt of twenty-one
millions of dollars, which (hey can never
hope lo pay Let thein remember that
under Republican rule, the school fund,
sucred to Ihe education of Ihe poor chil
dren of out State. *vs'3 recklessly squan
dered, education languished and Ihe
school hou>-c practically closed.
Let I hem reinberlhat in two years of
Republican rule they rccicved for B eli«ol

Let those who believe "knowledge is
power," remember I hat tiiiJer Democrat-

WASHINGTON, Octoher I. At a confer

held here last week the following addivsi

of men who stood hv the Republican

States, fuel corn-trained 'by the prcseot
situation in public affair* to state Sotn»;
of ibe ground# upou wbiuh » change in

Tfie "reconstruction Measures were pre
cipitated upon the Sooth io a time ol
great public exoiietneak They were
*.o subvert ideas, habits and condition*
fixed by the usage and expetience of
generations. This was to be dbtfe at a
time and under circumstances well cal
culated to produce west serious appre
hension. The disfranchisement of prin
cipal properly-holderii, coupled with the
enfranchisement of the whole body ol
( former slaves, to ho put into operation
iu the midst of a disrupted of
government, alarmed the moat thought
fnl and patriotic citizens. Thoughtful

put the firßt apprehension in reLttion
to the immediate execution. the prin
eijd«s of recon-it ruci iot) ;
bus beep greatly by time . nnd
test of expernjoee. The
inent feature has been rCmov* d, here is
now a general tarqii«>i*nc4 'in Hie prin
ciples involved, us indeed nothing more
than the fundamental ideas o! the Ameri
can svbttm of government. lint the
recollection of unrestrained abuse* still
remdies, and there is still a deep ground
ed appruhenbioa ilnd such abuses may
at any lime be repeated in their worst
I form an long as the national admiuistrji*
tiou continues in the hands of the Ke
publican party.
Wo are satisfied from personal knowl
edge, derived trom observation, and from
participation |n the reconstruction jjolipy
that a change 3n the party/.character ol
the national administration "how'- the
snris t and best means.of placing rccou-.
structiou ppou a sale and peace - n I basis,
and ofat onoe uniting the coui.try in
inutuul confidence and kindly relation
ship. And, us,this should be the first
and leading purpose ol tho American
people in the pending ptevidential elec
tion, wo believe it ought to over ride all
party attachments find considerations.
Tc- 1 ct ~a It public llF i'tefldiut at
this time by a sectional voto would be a
public calamity of the gravest character.
It would, unquestionably Ml back the
growing swnatratif x># HHUiomility nnd
unity which a jnst and enlightened policy
in tiro* management Ot rfeoort'sfruetioii
would long since have perntail6otty Me
cured. i bile wishing to ayoidlMi far as
possible any matter apenling to feelinfi
rather than sober reason, wo cannot Wei
omit aluding to the fuel Hint lite Kcpub*
licau party hau made its present cain-
I aign a direct attack upon 1*1)9 South bj
seeking to revive against it llio dwtrii9lt
and hostile feelings engendered by (In
war. We ennnot be unmiiidliil I hat t hit
being done lor the purpose of securing n
party triumph whioh is to install sucl
distrust and hostility in complete control
ol the national administration. It is nat
ural and reasonable that Uie Soul hen
people, so threatened, should unite "ii
■.rests:i.ig, by their votes; th n
of such a purpose, and that they should
appeal to thought Ail and imt inen iu (he
North lor protection and'support. •
We are unable to see in any existing
conditions a reason why such protection
should not WL oxiemied. Slavery nc
longer exists, P> thero is absolu cly no
sentiment in tho Smith tied vottld favot
its restoration and scarooly anv that re
grets its destruction. TliA Union that
hrts been reconstructed upon the basis ol
freedom and politics! equality, and there
is no element itriho South that would
aitcmptHoiluifc It otherwise The t-oo
linien'. lias become |»rai'ticallv universal
among the Soml.prt) people that the
Union is the nest security to I heir libel
ties anil the surest guarantee ol iheir fui
turc prospci'ily and happiness, iim
I hey would not conceal their dread ol
evil from Ho organization into a politi
eel parly of all who arc uurrioiidly tu
the in, for the purpose of controlling the
common goveruuieut to lueir oppression
ami injury.
Wo have siuecrel) regretted the (allure
of the Uei'Uldican lenders io recognizu
the true situation in the Southern Stales.
Their mistuke* ai.d wrongful conduct, in
i the execution of of the rCcousiruuliou
acis, have caused us to despair of their
ability to establish inuiuai coufhlcnee
and harmony between the sections. The
sections! grounds upon which they* are
seeking to carry the pending election
have lorccd us to distrust their disposi
tion to regard the Southern people as
equals iu the Union, or worthy io be
uustod as participants in the common
government of their comiiry. They have
year by year steadily drive iroin tin
,party iu the Somb numbers of it# mosi
considerate am! supporters, un
til lliev have praclicaily destroyed it in
every Southern Stale. Its revival iu the
future would be placed boyond all pos
sibility by the their present at
tempt to elect & Ficeidoncy by a sectiom 1
r vote, under tho hostile altitude they
have made this campaign assume.
The nomination ot (Jeueral Hancock
1 has placed the Democratic party upon
(he most elevated plairn ol devotion to
flie Union, (lie coiistitutiou end execu
tion ol Ibe laws, lie had pledged the
country an administration upon the
