We regret that thsfc is such secret societies but e defy any on'e to provo with tho States ; of a Henry whose supernatural and magical oratory was ultfays lifted in the cause of justice and truth ; of a Jackson whose words were the brief words of command. ivhosa action followed speech as thun der the lightning,-and who. perhaps, has inipTCSScd his name more indeli bly npoa this people, the father of Lis coantry -only excepted, thnn any tnan over did beforo or after him ; of a Clay whose oountrymen were al ways prosd of-"him, who'commanded Iho respect of even his enemies, and Vrho, by tho mighty power -of his ruptiptt ; and fathers no ess rcmaka Lie far their jovo ttf eoantry and dire ' "opposttiOB to iU that was calculated lf oTtprcns a. frco people? " It can lardty 0 ifwginocl.' ' ' Uut, a new era has dawned, and Jfiroro in'bdern ideas have -come to View. The positions once filled by Ihcse statesmen, philanthropists and patriots, remarkable alike for their in tegrity and love of country, are now occupied Tjy men who aro opposiles to extremes, and who are only re markable fur their love of money, of fice and power tho advancement of one s sett and relatives their fond ness for Lon Branch and other fash ionable watering' places, and shame less peculations -until tho Govern xnent of the United States has bo come the most corrupt governmcm npon earth. There never was a time in its histor' when it was sunk bo low in corruption. Shame upon the present administration lor it. We do not wish to draw any fan "cy sketches ; tho facts are before the people. Xiook tor instanco at the State of North Carolina, onr own Plate, one wnicn in iormer clays we delighted "to honor. Tho time was , when sho stood high in the confedcr Ated sisterhood and none had a bet . ter repatation. - Look at her now her; people robbed her rights tram pled under toot -ncrair possessions laid waste enrsed with a set of po litical cormorants and plunderers; and yet there are men claiming to be her aons who have proven treacherous and allied themselves with her bloodsnck .s . r i crs inoruer toat iney may receive a hare of tbo spoils.,.

Sho has been taxed beyond all pro ccdenVand she is to.be taxed more Jor the pavmcnt of a debt that has been contracted by her corrupt rulers In tho capital of the stato freo.(?) American citizens are tried and con demned on the verdict of a packed ju- ry. Such high-handed proceedings Jiaro boon going on until lorbearanco has almost ceased to be a virtuo. And tho onco proud and chival rous Stato of South Carolina, oppressed beyond-a1!. endurance by carpet-baggers and corrupt men in nearly every department of government, is a fitting I typo of radical rule and ruin. As the land of Egypt was once cursed she has been cursed. . So has nearly every Southern Stato been down-trodden by these vandal hordes of office-seekers for the last six, years. Millions of their nionej' fcavo , boon stolen and., their , state debt increased in nearly every instance iloublo and, in some 'cases, thribble what it was in 18CL j Let the people that it has ever been uphelci or en couraged by the Democratic or Con servative press of North Carolina. It has always been cried dowrrby them as calculated to do a groat deal of harm. There arc no peaceable and nioffen sivo1 citizens assasinated in cold blood by them solely 6n account of their loyally to tho Jnion and their ..JMelitg to the Republican party, as stated in the KepuUican. In many cases such societies wcro started in self defence and to prevent the outrages commit ted by a society known as the Union League, and not for political purposes as is daily sung forth in the Radical papers. We do not intend to defend tho jjen- tbo V.'S. Circuit Court fri KIoihw but thfs -we-do fay that tho law was stretched to its full extension in the iudnmcnt pnssod'on them. i"i peojile of North Carolffia hrfro long been noted for their forbearance and their strict adherence to Taw ; but there arc jcertain bounds which can not be passed with safety, and that is adding slander to oppression. i There is one man in North Caroli na who can probably correct this foul Tie, and that man is Gov. Caldwell. Lct it be seen that ho docs it. Tnxia Pledge MoaH than Re deemed. It" has been' paid that our present board of County Commission ers, during their cleetioneerjng cam paign of last year, pledged to the tax payers that their own personal receipts out of the count treasury should not exceed the sum of SCOO per annum for managing the county affairs. We think the following statement of their re spectivw charges against! tho county whole for the fiscal Rfnf laf 1Q71 nr'.U show that their pledge is more than redeemed, as tho total amount of their charges is only a little over $300 A.

' With this showing,, we ask thc tax payers ot this county .if they do not vastly prefer to entrust tho manage ment pi their affairs to our economical Conservative commissioners than to trust a Radical set who have been en riching themselves out of their very subsistence for life.- Let tbo tax-pay-ers preserve this paper for future nse; it may bo of sorvice to them in less than 12 months from to day.
