a
Campaign Slanders.
We God in the Philadelphia Time
of July 23tb, a verj sensible and
we think, timely article we quote:
The explosion of the story that
Jade Swajnead condemned Mr.
Garfield for his "sale of oflkial in
fluence' in the DeGolyer pavement
matter, and the tardiness of some
ot the Democratic organs in taking
it back, bare been the text for
many able editorials in the jastly in
rcoMHl journals which cling to the
Republican cause. It seems a good
time,therefore,to suggest that there
bea general wiping oat of campaign
slandrrs. The Republican organs
will rind material for the exercise
of their consciences in the frank
confession that the following aver
merits are without foundation in
fact:
That General Hancock's conduct
in the Surrat case was in any degree
Censurable.
That General Hancock hauled
down (be United States flag as an
inducement to General Beauregard
to dine with him.
That General Hancock wrote a
letter to General Sherman declar
ing bis intention to recognize Tilden
as President if he should take the
oath, the Electoral Commission's
drcision to the contrary notwith
standing. That General Hancock proposed
to General McClellan to turn the
army on Washington, clean out the
Lincoln government and avenge
Fir z John Porter's wrongs.
That General Hancock owes his
nomination to Star route lobbyists,
who furnished General Frankliu
the money to pay expenses at jCin-
cinnati.
That General Hancock, as presi
dent of an oil company, defrauded
poor investors out of thousands of
dollars.
Eacb ol tbetM fictitious state
ments has been printed in nearly
ever) Republican orgjn in the couu-
tr. Hud although all of them have
beeu refuted to th - satisfaction of
ever body tbo first retrHC'iou is
jet to be made. The copying jt
tUi paragraphs will be ample
penance.
Remarkable Speech
Presidents and other great folks
sjy thioc, sometime in their lives,
to be remembered for their pith, or
wisdom, or fitness, or eloquence, or
something. Washington wrote a
fatewell address, leastwavs he lath-
ereJ it, containing a great deal ol
good advice, which, unluckily, has
slipied the memory of later genera
tions. JefJersou bitched his nag to
the fence, about seventy-five years
ago, walked up the steps of the old
capitol. and delivered the grandest
inaugural address that ever fell
from the lips ot president or other
potentate. Lincoln made a short
speech on the field ol Gettysburg
which, after the bjoody shirt gets
washed clean, will be regarded as
one ot the finest illustrations of bis
genius and one of the stoutest pil
lars of bis fame. Van Rureu once
let fly the remark that " the people
eict too much from the govern
ment," for wbich remark he was
souudly abused by his opponents;
but there was a sight of truth in, it
nevertheless.
Tne Other ptesideots said some
good things, if we could only think
of them, not excepting Gen. Grant,
of whose speeches it may be truth
fully and gratefully said, if they did
no good they never did any barm.
Rut it has been reserved for Presi
dent. II ijfs to cap the climax by his
late si eech to tbe studeutN of Vale.
Pull ctT your bats and bear his :
After having seeu so much that
is attractive and admirable in this
renowned college, I cau say with
emphasis it is alway s well to speak
with emphasis, for it shows that
you have decision of character I
can say with emphasis that if I bad
not graduated from Ken on col
Ieo, in Ohio, I shoutd want to be a
graduate of some other college."
How beautifully the emphasis
shows the "decision of character"
ia the illustrious orator ! How hon
ored has been Keuyon college, und
how unlucky some other college!"
If those Yale chaps were not edified
by thi- sprech, it was for want of
abiUty to iee i h pi tr

The Democracy.
The Democracy stands npon the
.National platform presenting - sue
cinctly the lire issues of the present
Its platform 'means reconciliation
and peace, with one country, one
flag and one destiny. It means (a
tariff for revenne only,": and oppo
sition to protectionists and monopo
lists in whatever State they may be
found, or by whatever name .tbey
may be known. It means a reduc
tion ot public expenditnres and
faithful application of the public
monies to the legitimate expenses
of the government : the payment of
interest on our bonds, and the re
duction of the public debt, and each
other necessary expenses by way of
pensions as the nation is -in honor,
and duty bound to pay. It means
the subordination of military to civil
power now and always. It means
a free ballot, and let it be under
stood, it means that that ballot shall
be counted. It means that the I peo
ple have a right to say who their
servants shall be, and that there
shall never again be an electoral
commission and a fraudulent Presi
dent. It means liberty and law.
Hancock and victory.
Organize ! Organize !
Let every township go to work
and organize. We need organiza
tion and unless we have it we will
fight to no purpose, The people
owe it to themselves, the Democrat
ic party and to the country to or
ganize at once, and see to it that
every man goes to the polls and
votes. United ice are bound to tn"i.
Divided we will fail. Organize!
Organize!
Confessed at Last.
There have been, believe, a
few really true democrats, in this
part of the State, who, (having
ought long and well to defeat the
curse of Radicalism, yet despairing
of success, too soon, have thought
there was possibly relief to be
bund, in a third party) thought
hat there was no undcrstandin
much less bargain, between
the
cadcrs of Radicalism, and the
cadcrs of ' the Grcenbackcrs " to
prevent the success of democratic
principles. To one, who quietly
las observed the course of recent
hought. as set forth gravely in the
papers, it is inconceivable, that any
such persons remain under such a
delusion.
How beautifully the so called
Greenback and Radical editors
speak of cactt other! How ready
is each to discover and proclaim
the alleged errors, short-comings,
and evil motives of the democratic
party ! How patent to every one
hat the Greenback leaders ex
pect to accomplish nothing alone
How pleased would these leaders
seem if, by keeping out of view
their real ends, they could offer
enough apparent strength, defect
ed from the impatient democrats,
o induce the republicans, in doubt
ful counties and districts to "close
the bargain " with them ! Mow
foolish to think that the Green-
back leaders arc not promotive ol,
and in league with the Republican
leaders !
The two old adages, "be sure
your sin will find, you out, and
" in vino Veritas" have been veri
fied by the last declaration cf Col.
Winston, in his mouth-piece, the
Deacon, when under the excite
ment he has wrought up in his
own breast, he gives us to under
stand his true position, as a friend
of Radicalism, by saying, of the
democratic party, which wc all
thought he so much revered:
- Beaten this time, the Democratic
party goes into dissolution, and
" the National party, and the re
publican party become, the re-
-:i r ihev cannot upnoiu an
W V v y -
organization which has no foun
dation in principle any longer
than this election."
Democrats, beware ! Don't be
sold as sheep in the shambles.

where it Is prcte:idid
that white men love the negro so
much better than do white men in
the South.
Mr., Wilson says that while in
Unio he supposes he saw at leas
ten thousand me 1 at work in the
fields, ard he deer rot Relieve that
he saw ore doen black men (or
negroes) among the laborers.
The South is the Paradise of the
negro : but we want all who do not
believe that, to go into the North
ern and North-Western States and
see if they cab better their - condi
tion. Experience is the best
school-teacher, and that is the only
way the poor negro can learn, or
at least learn not to be deceived
by political demagogues and trick
sters. After they go and try, they
will be better satisfied with their
old homes on their return. .
Guilford County Polities.
D. F. Caldwell and 'tIios ?I
Holt lor the Senate from
the 2 llh District.
Editor riitriot: I like your policy of
permitting full and froo suggestion . of
names for the Democratic County Ticket,
and herewith ask to take ad vantage there
of by endorsing tho names of D. V, Cald
well and T. M. Holt as, in my own
judgement and that of many others, most
suitable for th'e Senate in this district.
I know that our political friends -in
Alamance are able to take care of them
selves; but they cannot. object to a res
pectful endorsement of the name of their
enterprising countvman for the Senato
rial trust.
Col Holt's broad and liberal views of
State . policy ; his persistent eftbrts and
iven sacrifices, to. advance our agri
cultural interests ; nis successful in
dividual enterprise, illustrating our nian-
ufacturing resources, entitle him to high
consideration as a public man. His name
uouldhava graced tbe second, or even
the lirst place on our State ticket.
I do not name Mr D F Caldwell from
any special personal predilection, but be
cause I should feel better assured of suc
cess with his name at the head of the
county ticket. His general information
and his legislative experience are worth
much. His public services, already ren
dered, deserve remembrance. His labors
on the State dobt committee were valua
ble ;,and but for his sturdy efforts theCape
Fear and Yadkin Valiey Railroad would
have beeu a failure. We are all aware of
his bluntness, and how he growls at what
he considers any infringement, of his own
or the popular rights. YV'e aro all like
wise aware of the honesty of bis purposes,
the sincerity and indt -nendencc of his
views, andf the" indomitaole vim with
which he takes by the horns every bull
that comes iu his way. There is no man
like him for a stim-g canvass, and that
i-i just the thing wo now want, and must
have, if" we succeed.
Is there anybody simple enough to think
that the .Republican party will quietly permit
us to walk over the track in either County,
State or National .cu vans t If so, let him
l.iok at the hundred thousand officeholders
whose bread and butter and-to-forth depend
upon their holding ou ; the hundred thousand
office expectants whose turn at the national
swi!l-tub depends upon their zeal in the
elections j-. the hundred thousand bloody
birts to be flaunted to the public gaze; and
the hundred thousand, other reports of a
iesperate'party in a political campaign.
We have to contend against, complete
Vj-.-s-- --- v- f. ...
l.e m time. 1 know tne lingering uisiiae
f many of oar county men to political con
ventions a disiika at present cultivated by
our Republican fellow citizens, as applied to
Democrats, but not for theinrelves, who
would as soon think of breaking .tul as
breaking the party traces. ,
I do hope and trust' that eveTy town
ship in the county will send up an intel
ligent and full representation to tho con
vention on the 21st, and that tho whole
proceedings of tJo convention will be so
conducted as to preclude any reasonable
suspicion of by-play or manoeu v'ering for
any particular man or class ot men.
Let a full, free, honest expression. of the
majority be beard,iu tbe selection of
names, and you will find general content
and satisfaction, and a cheerful and unit
ed t iiort to socure success.
The writer ot this, being himself clear
out of the political oculite, is conscious
that his suggestions are tho result of un
biassed judgment, if not of wise, judg
ment. ' Geohoe.
Guilford, July 23, ISqO.
Jas. T. Jloreliead lor Senator.
" Editor, Patriot.--- : f ' I
have seen the names of some very excel
lent men mentioned for State Senator for
Guilford men who would serve the.
people of our county with reat zeal
ability, Sec., men who would command
the entire Democratic strength, of the'
county at least' such is my judgment;
but I have a name to suggest that will
meet with favor from all classes a gen
tleman who has already served his native
county in the Senate of North Carolina
with. more than' ordinary ability: I refer
to Col. J:imcs T, yioichcad, 'of Greens
bro. I Jo r.ot Lehevc Col. Moreheau wants
the position, but I do believe he woujU
accept the 'nomination if tendered to htm
by the Democratic Convention to be held
in vour citv on August 21st.

Be Honest ; Bo Thorough.
New York Tribune.
First: Be honest. By which we
do uot mean, simplj, not to steal.
That goes without Haying. Thf
young man who, before his beard is
grown, thinks it clever to cheat his
tailor, or to toaeak out of bis little
debts at college, has already laid a
sure foundation of ill-fortune. Noth
ing is known so quickly, or sticks '
io a man so loug as the reputation)
of dishonesty. It is the fleck, of
mildew which eats and grows black-,
er and spreads from year to year.
Boys are fatuously blind to the
lengthening. 'shadow widen these
luitH d hharp-dealing and lying in '
i-hetr earliest ears throw - down
i tiTT whole future. In a year or
two they will be asking for patron
ago from the public or a chance in
the bu.-o n'ess world, and they will
find that in damaging their charao
ter they "have already squandered
their onJy capital. No merchant -would
take a boy even as porter
into his employ who was known not
10 honest. We take it for grant
ed our boys aro honest, "in the x
coarser meaning of the term. Bat
there is a finer honesty that enters
it) to a man's nature and lifts him
above his fellows lie is no sneak
nor sham, neither to hisjeompan-
ions, his God, nor even to himself.
He does not sham a virtue which
he has uot ; he does not imitate any
other man's character; but he tries x
to go to tho bottom of his own to
clear it and lift it np. 1 As the boy
oegins, so the matp will end. The
lad who speaks with affectation,
and minces foreign tongues that he
does not understand at school, will
be a weak chromo in character all
his life ; the boy who cheats his
teachers into thinking him devout
at chapel will be the man whojsill'
make religion a trade and bring
Christianity into contempt; and
the boy who wins the highest aver
age by 'stealing his, examinational
papers will hgure some day as a
tricky politician. The lad who,
whether rich or poor, dull or clever,
looks yon straight in the eye atod
keeps, his answer inside of the;
truth, already couuts friends who
will last all his life and holds a
capital which will bring him in a
surer interest than money. '
Thenpget to the botton of thiugs.
Yon ee how it is already as to that,"
Iriwa's the student who was ground
ed in the grammar that took tb
Latin prize: it was that slow.
steady drudge who practised firing
every day last winter that bagged
the most game m the mountains;
it is the clerk who studies the
specialty ot the hotis- in off hours
who is to be promoted. Your-bril-
iarrt, happv go-!ucky, hlt-of miss
fellow usually turns out the dead-
wt-ight of the family by fortj five. x
Don't take anything for granted ;
ec tome uoiiom 01 inings. lxouuer
be a sham yourself, nor be fooled by
shams... Ready for you in yourJ
early manhood there are plenty of
pleasures waitiug for you to con-
quer applause, money, 1 society,
this and that kind of philosophy or
faith. Take uothiug on trust:
weigh it, see what it is worth. You
will have rough disappointments.
