Ije griming flftgt. wnaawaToir, if. c. Monday, September 1st, 1$73. Iu another column appears a commu nication from Smith villc, giving an account Qf a Republican meeting held there lst week, to which wc invite at tention. The meeting was of unusual importance as on that occasion two prominent gentlemen who have here tofore acted with the Democratic party, publicly, withdrew from it and acknowl edged themselves as' members of our party. It is useless for us to speak of Col. Allen, who showed his valor on thirty-two battle fields fighting for the confederacy. He is altogether too well known in this vicincy, and like the brave soldier, as soon as he had made up his mind as to the right of his opin ions, he has openly avowed them. We are aware of scores of men, who vote with our party, but are too fearful of that great bug-bear public opinion to avow their principles. Col. Allen's position to-day is worth more than all the votes of the others, for it carries its truth upon the face and will influence many of his old companions in arms. Mr. Sutton is a prominent lawyer of Elizabeth, and his eloquence and popu larity in Bladen county will be of great service to the party in the next cam paign. Wc welcome these gentlemen to our ranks. May there be many more such. "H" and the Wilmington Post; Under the above head, the Journal of Sunday contains a reply to our remarks in Friday's issue about the Willie Car ter murderers, signed J. C. Hiden. Now that we know the writer, we will reply to his communication briefly, and endeavor to define our position more distinctly. The communication con tains six heads, of which four require brief mention, and the first one is in re ply to the ' following : " Now, we will ask Mr. ' H ' if he read the evidence, and if so, if he can understand how a boy of 14 years of age can give four dif ferent versions of the same tragedy, cvery one plausible, and every one al most entirely different." Mr. Hiden replies to this by saying, " Yes, wc un derstand it readily. David lied. We think, however, that Ids lying shows art and not artlesaness." Jtfow this does not answer the question. Every one, including the viUabi Pavidl himself, admits that he lied. We said we were unable to understand how a boy could give these different versions. It must be distinctly borne in mind that our article, which called forth the Biblical Recorder letter, was a pen picture of the prisoners appearance, and not editorial remarks upon the evidence, and we said he " acts and speaks with the artless ness of innocent childhood." We did not say that he was artless or innocent, or that his evidence showed artlessness, but we gave his appearance, and most of the spectators will bear us out in our description. Again Mr. Hiden says : All that the Post says about the " Democratic rule," that if a prisoner ' is a negro he is guilty ;" and all that is said about the '"Democratic papers," the "Southern democracy," &c, is purely irrelevant; we wish we could think that it is "artless." The Biblical Recorder is not a Democratic paper, and " H " is not a partizan. The question before us was not a political one, and no effort which the I'Ost can make will ever drag or decoy " H " into a discus sion of the issues of party politics. Here again Mr. Hiden fails to see the point of our remarks. The article does not confound the Recorder with partizan papers, nor even intimates that he is the writer of a Democratic article. Af ter speakimx of our being constantly misrepresented by Democratic papers, we gave two distinct positions as fol lows, properly paragraphed. The first one says : " The cry of the Southern democracy now is, that they, are the especial lovers of the negro race, and that Northern men are here only to de ceive them." The next paragraph says : "Here is a writer for a religious paper, who intimates that we are carefully con cealing the faults and crimes of this unfortunate race, because they are black. Keither position is correct." We have italicised this time to show the distinctions. How can Mr. Hiden sup pose we were confounding the Recorder with a political paper, when we distinct ly state it to be religious. And bear in mind, we did not charge tho Recorder or its correspondent with claiming to be the, "especial lovers of the negro race Imtthe Southern Democracy. The Re corder and its correspondent are mention ed in the second position, Mid tre think it charges by ' intimation, t as we state above. The Post has no disposition to "drag or decoy" Mr." Hiden or any other clergyman into a political discus sion, for it has too great a respect for their calling, and it dislikes to see po litical demonstrations made by minis ters of any religious denomination. Still the Post would not be happy to be con sidered artless. It would be a poor paper if it was. After a review of our pen picture in the Recorder, "H " wonders "what sort of a negro will dofor a murderer." We considered that remark and its accom panying sentences an intimation that the Post was concealing the faults and crimes of the negro race. This Mr. Hiden denies, and that settles that question: The closing paragraph is as follows : The Post is hardly accurate in calling "H's" article anonymous. I Is the Posts article anonymous? Of course not, for the Post has published the fact that it is edited by Major Mann. Well, the Recorder has published the fact that its correspondent "H." is the Pastor of the First aptist Church of Wilming- ion; ana we nave entirely sausiactory reasons for believing that, the Post had been otherwise and reliably informed that "H." was J. p. Hiden. To this remarkable statement we have this to say: The Post employs seve ral writers, and because J. C. Mann's name appears at the head of the paper as its editor, and by common custom is held responsible for editorial articles appearing therein, it is by no means evidence that he writes all the arti cles" published. So it would not be safe to announce that J.C.Mann wrote any certain article, though he might be in dicted or sued for publishing it. We do not exchange with the Biblical Re corder and did not know that it had ever announced its Wilmington corres pondent "H." as the pastor of the First Baptist Church! Nor do we believe that fact to be generally known in this city. But had we- personally known who the correspondent was, the signa ture "H." would have been anonymous to our readers and we would have had no right to mention Mr. Hid en's name in connection with the article. That position is generally understood we be lieve among the newspaper Fraternity. We will state, however, for Mr. Hiden's benefit, that we did not know that he was the author of the article, and we had not been reliably informed upon that point. For the Post. REPUBLICAN MEETING IN BRUNSWICK. Speeches by Thomas II. Sutton, Esq.., of Bladen, and Col. Chas D. Allen, of Brunswick Red Hot Balls fall ing thick in the ranks of the shat tered and demoralized Democracy- Their best men leaving them. Editor Post : On Tuesday, the 26th instant, during the term of the Superior Court, a large crowd of the people of Brunswick being in. Sniithville, a Re publican meeting was held in the Court House the building being well filled with persous from all parts of the coun ty. Capt. E. M. Rosafy being called on, addressed the meeting in a few well timed remarks, eliciting much applause, at the conclusion of which he moved that John L. Wescott, Esq., be called to the chair. This motion being carried unanimously, Mr. Wescott, on taking the chair, stated the object of the meet ing to be to give an expression of the views of the Republican people upon matters of public interest, to exercise the constitutional right of assembling together to consult for their welfare, and to hear from prominent gentlemen who had been invited to address the meeting. Lewis A. Galloway was, on motion, appointed Secretary. . After the organization, a call was made for Mr. Thomas H. Sutton, of Bladen, who was at Smithville in attend ance on the Superior Court. Mr. Sut ton responded in a strong speech, which held the house for some time. He said that for several years- he had said but little on politics ; that in 1868 he acted with the Conservative party, and be lieved it to be right, but that he had long since discovered that its leaders were bound by no principle- save the yearning for place and power ; that they had conceded and adopted -every radi cal measure which in the beginning they had taught him to oppose and hate, and that finally they had committed the grand act of political stultification and treachery by nominating and supporting for the Presidency the great chief of Radicalism and President of ihe Union League. For these men to talk about consistency or principle is the most stu pendous impudence and effrontery. He was a faithful and earnest member of that party for a while, and, being a Democrat, he had been, like nearly nil other young men of that party, a ku klux. Yes, Mr. President, they got me into the klan, but when I found out what they were, I quit them and denoun ced them as a set of assassin?, cut throats, and thieves. No such party ought to be countenanced by a people who want quiet, and peace7 and harmo ny. The young men of the -country would submit to these leaders no longer. The time for propping up this "party by persecution and proscription had pass ed. Men will be free ; and these self constituted leaders of politics and so ciety, claiming to have all the wealth and all the intelligence, will soon find that they have nothing but the scorn and contempt of a betrayed and indig nant people, ilr, Sutton continued for some time, discussing various themes. He made a marked impression. His delivery, is excellent, his manner attrac tive, and, there is about his style an appearance of honest conviction, deter mination arid pluck, which carries his utterances straight to'the popular heart. He was followed by Colonel D. C. Allen, a gentleman too well known to the people of Brunswick to need any introduction. Col. Allen, after announc ing his purpose henceforth to act with the Republican party, proceeded to give his reasons for this determination in a speech of much eloquence and power. He said he was tired of acting with a party which put him on one platform this year and the next year required him to take back all, he had said, and advocate the very measures which he had been opposing and denouncing. He had eaten enough dirt in this conserva tive party, and he now wanted it un derstood that he wasdonewith.it. They had year by year adopted the measures of the Republican party, at the same time Jasking the people to rebuke and put down tfye party which had built their own platform. If they were hon est in their professions, then there is but one party in the country, and that is the Republican party. He had not yet learned to profess one thing and be another. As they had led him on to adopt Republican principles and had carried him step by step to the Repub lican platform, he proposed now to stand on it and stay there. He yielded to no man in affection for the South and her people. He had rendered services in the war which he thought might possibly be compared with the records of some of the leaders of this conservative party. He stood by the cause and the flag until the last gun was fired. He fought his way to promotion, and whatever of honor or credit he may have won was achieved on thirty -two battle fields. He was not ashamed of this, neither was he ashamed now to stand by the side of the most gallant of his comrades in the ranks of the Republican party. As he Tas true to the South in the hour of danger and adversity, so now ho would stand by his government and his country. The speeches were frequently ap plauded and great enthusiasm prevailed. Cheers were given for Col. Allen and Mr. Sutton and the importance of the positions taken by these gentlemen ful ly appreciated. Brunswick county will give a hirge Republican majority next year. Yours, D. Raleigh seems to be in earnest about having cotton and woolen factories, and the city authorities are considering a proposition to exempt them for taxation for ten years. The Newbern Republic-Courier pitches into a "St. Louis Advertising Agency and seems to be quite mad too, and all because the Agency fellows wants Nason to do $15 worth of print ing send tneni $1 50 worth of newspa pers for $2 10 net cash in advance. ' m t m The Raleigh people are on the qui fire in anticipation of the coining of that most charming actress and great favorite, Katie Putman. Wilmington is full of happy anticipations too at seeing little Katie, and will give her a rousing reception when she comes. The affairs of the old Girard estate, at Philadelphia, are so prosperous that it is proposed to increase the facilities of (jrirard College, m order to take a much larger number of pupils. The Leavenworth man who wants to bet his wife can walk five hundred miles in three weeks has been - exposed. It was but a shallow device through which to get three weeks peace and quietness.
