Let others write of battles fought ' On bloody, ghastly fields, Where honor greets the man who wins, And death the man who yields ; But I will write of him who fights And vanquishes his sins Who struggles on through weary years Against himself, and wins. He is a hero, staunch and brave,- Who fights an unseen foe, And pats at last beneath his feet nis passions base and low, And stands erect in manhood's might, Undaunted, undismayed The bravest man that drew a sword In foray or in raid. It calls for something more than brawn Or muscle to o'ercome An eneznv who marcheth not With banner, plume and drum A foe forever lurking nigh, With silent, stealtiiy tread ; Forever near your board by dny, At night beside yonr bed. A! I honor, then, to the brave heart, Thongh poor or rich he be, Who struggles with his baser part Who conquers, and is free. He may not wear a hero's crown, Or fill a hero's grave, But truth will place bis name among The bravest of the brave. THE PATRIOT. P. F. DUFFY, Editor. GREENSBORO, N. C. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 29. 1873. A Voice from the West. The action of Gov. Caldwell in procuring the suspension of the sale of the Western N. C. R. R., has not met with the cordial approbation of his Radical friends in the West, it we may judge from an article in a recent number of the Asheville Pi oneer, the Radical organ, which gets ferocious on the subject and threat ens his Excelleucv and the Radical party thusly : "If the inconsiderate, though well intended action of Republican Governor should still further break us down, there will uot be Republi cans enough left West of the Bine Ridge to till the Federal offices. In this cut and thrust business which is going on abont our railroad inter ests, we are bound to be true to our own homes first, and above all thiugs else, and we intend to be. But the gentlemen who engineer the Republican party of North Car olina, who handle its campaign fuuds, and control ils patronage, are accustomed to turn up their lofty noses in scornful derision of everybody West of the Blue Ridge, aud to ascribe the ascendeucy of the party, and the success of partic ular men, solely to the solid colored vote of the Eat. They poiut, with significant gesture, to the map, to show us how small a part of the whole State West of the Blue Ridge is. To all such this in worth re membering : The majority for our State ticket iu August last was 2,000 votes. The Republican vote of Buncombe county was over 1,100. Whatever ill-advised, iueonsiderate or ieckless couduct of party manaceis or rep resentative men of the party, aball drive away these 1,100 hard work ing, devoted party men, will deliver the State into the bauds of the De mocracy. So, whether oiirdemen sions territorially, or as an element of the Republican organization, In- large or small, we Republicans West of the Blue Ridge can control the party destinies of the State. Yv e know know it : we are a uuit in believing that, to secure our rail road extension, we ought to assert this balance ot power agaiust those who are found to be against ns : and we mean to be a uuit iu so doing when any such emergency shall a- nse.' That's plain talk for the moguls and these chaps evidently mean business. It grieveth us much aud maketh us vastly sore in spirit to perceive these discordant signs, and stormy indications, among the loval breth ren and camp-followers of Hiram Ulysses the leather man and Tod, to whom they pinned their faith, and for whom they swore so loudly and lied so lustily daring the dog days. Woe be unto old Obstinacy if he fails to listen to this warning voice, lor they shall come down from the mountains with a swooping vengeance to watch the march of the Assyrians would be nothing but a 4th of July parade. In this encouuter we wish them both a jacket full of fury, and sharp teeth, and a conclusion to the contest similar to that of the Kilkeuny cat battle. We would gladly see Tod laid on his back and the eleven hun dred Republicans laid beside him. We would be a delighted mourner at such a funeral. This thing shows how much of principle .there is in these Radicals. Notwithstanding the fact they knew that the Radicals who .controlled the State when that road was char tered and appropriations made to it t - A? 1 . Al A. were pocweuug tue money uia ougbt tohave built it, they were penecuy aomo, ana enaeavorea to j 1 ' - - : . 1 . i , WEDNESDAY, JANUAET 29, 1873. put the same class of meri in office again ; and now, after all has - been squandered by their sbpport of bad men, they cry alond for the road; and are willing to go over, ! body, boots and all, to any one who will give it to them; they arejeven willing to go over to the Democrats whom they have! been denouncing as re bels, kn klax, etc, to get it. -Their Republicanism now won't weigh against a railroad. ; , Well, they ought to hare the road and we hope they may get it, but before it is put under the hammer they had better ascertain whether it will over be built then or not, lest they might bo left in a worse fix than they now are. If these eleven rhundred Radicals sinners should recant and embrace the Democratic faith there will be that many poor souls saved any way and so much good done. ; , I Don't Recognize Them. As far as voting goes the Radicals are perfectly willing, to recognize their black allies, but when it comes to dividing offices with them they are not quite so "willing. The fol lowing extract from the National Progress, a paper published in the interest of the colored people, shows how they do in Pennsylvania : In the election of Assistant Clerks and other subordinate officers, we had hoped and expected that the members for Dauphin county would u lu4. et: r in mi:i.ii r. Mills liml iiiuinnniuiiB us Republic Partyould:have been regarded, and a respectful re cognition given to some represent a tive men of the new voters. But the members of the Senate, though repeatedly aud earnestly requested to thus recognize the colored ele ment of the party, an element which stood " taithful among the faithless," like Gallio "cared for none of these things." We and the colored people of the State of Pennsylvania feel chagrin ed at being so sought for during the troubles of the late canvass, and being now so forgetfully thrust, a- side. Senators and Representative say, it was an oversight it was not thought of in time. All we have to say is, tnat tuese oversignts are too infernally common, and, that the caucuses of each house knew of the gj necessity in this case in time su cient to remedy the difficulty. '" If black men were not so easily humbugged as they are they would have discovered lonsr afro the shal- owness of the pretensions of the men in whom they have put their trust and who have been using them to promote their own advance ment and welfare. They will dis cover it by and by, however. A Scheme to Raise Revenue. The Richmond Whig of a recent i date, alluding to a bill before tie I Legislature of that State on the subiect of insurance, offers the fol-! owing for the consideration of the uanciers ot the Legislature: But it is certaiuJbat there is a "tent deal in the Insurance busiuess out of which, properly utilized, the State, in its present embarrass ments, might realize ! a haudsome sum. it is said aud believed, that nsuring is now the most profitable business in the state, we bare uot the figures, but we hear it said, that the gross receipts in this State reach annually to the amount of j . t : 1 1 : r i...if .r . i cie uiiiuuiis. uue-uuu ui uio i amount, whatever it be, is clear i . 1 : rofit. Taking it at twelve millions, one-half of that sum, or six millions is made each year. The tax for this profitable business, is at pres ent, a mere pittance, what it the State should lease this exclusive mvilege to a single company, or a combination of companies f If the receipts be twelve millions and the rofits six millions, it would not be unreasonable, that the State should share equally iu the profits. That would be a revenue to her of three million dollars. But grant that the irofits are only half what we have stated, or three millions; tbat would yield the State $1,500,000, which in her present financial con dition would be an important item. We throw out this suggestion tor the consideration and elaboration of the financiers of the Legislature. We assume their is patriotism a- mong the capitalists connected with he insurance busiuess, and we com- meud to their consideration the for mation of a company, or syndicate, to lease : this profitable privilege from the State. , We have not the figuies to show the amount this State annually pays fnr insnrsine; bnt. fudging from 7 ' . the number of rival companies, they must be i doing, a jivey busiuess, and we know, too, that a very large proportion of this j money goes out of the State and into the pockets of outside corporations, j . . It might be that something simi lar to the suggestion f our Virginia cotemporary might be adopted here and be instrumental; not only in keeping this money at home, but, also, in helping to replenish our im poverished treasury.
