Angola Pocosin.
Angola Bay, or Angola Pocosin, is the
name under which alarce tract of wild
-laud in this section has been known for
many years, Itis located in Pender coun
ty aud reaches from the banks of the
Cane Fear river, opposite old South
Washington, across, in an easterly direcv
tiou, towards White Oak Swamp, with
which it communicates. . It is a wild,
uncultivated, unbroken tract of land,
and but very lew persons nave ever pen
etrated its recess. We remember when
a boy, hearing some strange, stories rel
ative to an attempt being made once to
explore it by a party who clothed them
Felves in buckskin garments, and were
armed with axes,hatolietsand guns: This
Darty, it is said, were gone seven days
and then rettin ed by the way they had
entered, completely nude," having lost
every particle of clothing they wore in
their encounter" .with rools and briers
and vines. Thw was, perhaps," a tradi
tidn, but a good many years ago an at
tempt, which was successful, was made
to pierce this wilderness. One of the
party, wbo were all young men, was the
late Afr. John D. Love, 'and from an ac-
kcou ut written by him at the time, we
published some years ago in the Iteview
a report of the undertaking.
- We are now told by th- A'cws andr Ob
server ': that Dr. CKas. W. Dabuey
has been in this swamp, although to how
great distance is not mentioned, and
that he brings back most interesting tie
counts of-its wonders. It is of great
extent, thcre'being in it, upon a rough
computation, 40,000 aores of laud. The
fertility is inconceivably great. It is
now being drained and divided into sec
tions, each four miles square. It pre- j
sent such a view to the' explorer as
does a tropical lorest. : Indeed it is
tropical in many of its characteristics.
Enormous vines and creepers .wrap the
trees, large and small, in their close em
brace, and run riot, at the earth's
surface and far above. This most . beau
tiful and fragrant wild flowers are there
in luxuriant profusion and infinite vari
ety of color and odor. The blue jessa
mine is one or tnemost fragrant of .all.
The progress of the greatcanal, or ditch,
through the swamp is satisfactory and
it will develop some of the best land to
be found anywhere
The "olue jessamine" referred to is
probably the flowen known to us as the
blue bell, a beautiful and fragrant blos
som to be found in profusion on the
banks oft be ricefield near the city, and
known to botanists as the blue clematis.

The Democratic party of the Union
through its representatives in National
Convention assembled, recognized that,
as a nation grows older, new issues are
born as time progresses, and old issues
perish ; but the fundamental principles
of Democracy approved bythe united
voice of the people remain, and will ever
remain ns the best and only security for
the continuance of free government.
The preservation of personal ' rights ;
the equality of all citizens before the
law 5 the reseryed rights of the States,
aua .the supremacy ot tne l ederal gov
ernment within tne limits of the consti
union, will ever lorm the true basis ol
our liberties, and can never be surrender
ed without destroying that balance of the
right and powers which enables the con
tinent to De aeveiopea in peace, ana so-
I cial order to be maintained by means of
local self governments.
But it is indispeusible for the practical
application and enforcement of these
fundamental principles that the govern
ment should not always be controlled by
one political party. 'Frequent change of
administration is as necessary as the con
stant recurrence to the popular will.
Otherwise abuses grow, and the govern
ment, instead of being- carried on for the
general welfare, becomes, an instrumen
tality for imposing heavy burdens upon
the many who aro governed for the ben
efit of the few who govern.. Public ser
vants thus become arbitrary rulers. This
is now tho condition of the country,
hence a change is demanded.
The Republican party, so far as prin
ciple is concerned, is a reminiscence. Iu
practice, it is an organization for en
riching those who control its machinery.
The frauds and jobbery which have been
brought to light in evory department of
the government are sufficient to have
called lor reform within the Republican
party;- - Yet, those in authority, made
reckless by long possession of power,
have succumbed to its-corrupting influ
ence, and have placed in nomination a
ticket against which the Independent
portion of the party are iu open revolt.
Therefore, a change is demanded ; such
a change was alike necessary in 1876.
but the will of the people was then de
feated by frauu which can never be for
gotten nr condoned. Again in 1830,
the change -was defeated by the lavish
use of money contributed by unscrupu
lous contractors and shameless jobbers,
who had bargained for unlawful profits.
or for high oflices.
The Republican party, during its letral.
its stolen and its bought tenure of power,
has steadily decayed in mural character
aud political capacity. Its reform prom
ises are now the list of its past failures.
It demands the restoration of our navy
it has squandered hundreds of mill
ions to create a navy that does not exist.
It calls upon Congress to remove bur

It professes gratitude for all who were

. unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
tion. -. ..'.'." .-
We denounce the Republican
for having railed to relieve the
from the crushing war taxes whic
paralyzed business,crippled industry and
deprived labor of employtn enfe and jut
reward.. ;.1 . ...
The Democracy pledges itsclt to purify
the admininistration from corruption, tq
revive respect for the law and to reduce
taxation to the lowest limit consistent
with a due regard to the preservation of
the faith of the nation, to its creditors
aud pensioners, knowing full well, how
ever, that legislation aft'ectiner the occu
pations of the people should be cautious
and conservative in method, not in ad
vance of public opinion, Iwt responsive
to its demands. .
The Democratic party is pledged to
revise the tariff' in a spirit of fairness to
all interests ; but in making a reduction
in taxes it is not proposed to injure any
domestic industries, out rather to pro
mote their healthy growth.
From the foundation of this govern-
ment the taxes collected at the Custom
.House have been the chief source of Fed
eral revenue such they must continue
to be.' Moreover, many industries have
come to rely upon legislation for success
ful continuance, so that any change of
law must be at every step regardful of
the labor and capital thusinvolved.
The process of reform must be subject
in its execution to this plain dictate of
justice rail taxation shall be limited to
the requirements of economical govern
ment. The necessary reduction in taxa
tion can and must be effected without de
priving American labor of the ability to
to compete successfuly with foreign" -la
bor and without imposing lower rates of
duty than will be ample to cover any in
creased cost of production which may
exist in consequence of a higher rate of
wages prevailing iu this country. Suffi
cient revenue to pay all the expenses of
the Federal government, economically
administered, includiug penBions,intercst
and.principal of the public debt, can be
got under our present eyftem of taxation
tiom Custom House taxes on fewer im
ported articles bearing heaviest on arti
cles oi luxury anu ueanng iigiitcst on
articles of necessity.
We, therefore, denounce the abuses of
the existing taritt and (subject to pre
ceeding limitiitions) we demand' thai
Federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes and shall nut exceed tho
needs of the government economically
administered. -
The system cf direct taxation known
as "internal revenue-" is a war tax. and
so long as the law contiuues the money
derived therdrom should be sacredly
deposited to the relief of the people from
the remaining burdens ot the war and he
made a fund to defray tbe expense of the
care ind comforts ot worthy soldiers dis
abled in the line of duty iu the wars of
the Kepunlic and tor the payment of
such pensions as Congress may from time
to time grant to such soldiers, a like
fund for the sailors having been alrea ly
provided, if any surplus should be paid
into the treasury.
We favor an American continental
policy based upon more intimate com
mercial political relations with the fifteen
sister Republics of North, Central, and
South America, but entangling alliances
with none. -
We believe in honest money, tho cold
and silver coinage of the constitution,
and a circulating medium convertible
into such money without loss.
Assertiog the equality of all men be
fore the law, we hold that it is the duty
of the government in its ddaling with
the people to meto out equal and exact
justice to all citizens of whatever nativ
ity, race or color, religious or political
opinion.
-We believe in a free ballot aud a fair
count, and we recall to the memory of
the people tbe struggle of the Democrats
in the 45th and 46th Congress, by which
the reluctant Republican opposition was
compelled to assent to the legislation
making everywhere illegal tho presence
of troops at the polls ns a conclusive
proof that a Democratic administration
will preserve liberty with order.
The selection of Federal officers for
the Territories should be restricted to
citizens previously resident therein.
We oppoa s'imptuary laws which vex
the Citizen and interfere with individual
liberty..
Wo favor honest civil service reforms
and the compensation of all" United
States officers by fixed salaries; the sep
aration of Church and State and the dif
fusion of ,free education by common
schools, so' that vcry child in tbe land
may be taught tbe rights of citizenship.
vvnue we lavor an
nation, nave ever been cardinal princi
ples in Democratic faith," we neverthe
less do not sanction the importation of
foreign labor or the admission of servile
races unfitted by habits, training, relig
ion or kindred for absorption into tbe
great body of our people or for the citi
zeuship which our laws confer. Ameri

the immigration ot the importation of
Mongolians to these shores our gates be

The Democratic party insists that it is
the duty of the government to protect

A Honse Building Ape. -In
the middle of Africa is found an
ape which builds a shelter for himself in
a tree. He selects a tall tree with a
branch growing nearly straight out. and
about twenty feet from the ground.
This branch is for his floor, and over it
he makes a roof, exactly in the shape of
a largo umbrella, with the trunk of tbe
tree for a handle. It is made of leafy
branches, tied on to the tree with vines.
of which African woods are full, and is -so
well shaped and neatly made that it
would do credit to a human builder.
When the ape is at home, he sits la
the branch with his head np under the
green roof, and an arm around tha trunk
to bold on. One animal liyes in each'
house alone, and he uses it only until be
has eaten all the food ho cares for near.
and then he builds a new house In an
other place.
