iM-nefieial prnH -s. 6.
S cund YI'oiMpli te liberty a:ul exact eial
ity in the enioynwnt of nil civil, political
and public rinht. should be established and
effectiudly inaintained throii'rhout the I'nion
byeflieieilt and appropriate State ami Fede
ral IctrUIatioii. " Neither the law nor its ad
ministration sliould admit of any disi-rimi-nation
in resju ct of citizens, by rea.-on of
race, creed, cuI t, or previous condition of
servitude. "
Third. The recent amendments to the
ti.'ial Coustittition should be. cordially sus-Tutiu-d
ht ause they are rinht, not merely
tolerated heaiise tliey are law, ami .should
lie carried out accorduifl i to. their spirit by
appropriate legislation, -the. cnfoi eiitient of
which can safely h' trusted only to the
party that secured those amendments.-. -Y
Fourtk. The N ational (tovernment should
sack. m!iiUUu an rior.urable jm-ju with
all natious, protecting it citizens every
where and sympathizing with all iople who
strive for creater HlK-rty. Y-
Fifth. A svstein of "civil service under
which the sul'iordinate Msitions of the Gov
ernment .arc considered rewards for mere
party zeal i fatally deinorali.inji, and we
then-fore fa or a reform of the M-stem by
laws which shall aliolish the evils of patron
age, and make honesty, efficiency and fideli
ty the essential. rjualicatlons for public jiosi
tlons without practically creating a life ten
ure of office.
Sixth. We are opposed to further grants
of tle public lands to corporations and nio
nojHtlies, and demand that the National do
main be set apart for free homes for the peo
ple.' -.
Seventh..--The annual evemie, after pay
ing the current debt, should furnish a mode
rate balance for the reduction of the princi
pal, aud the revenues, except so much as
may lie derived from a tax on tobacco and
liquor, he raised by duties njHni importa
tions, the duties of which should be so ad
justed as to aid in securing. remunerative
wages to lalior. and promote the industries,
prtiserity and growth of the whole country.
F.ighth! We hold in undying honor the
soldiers and sailors, whose valor saved the
Union. Their pensions are a sacred debt of
the Nation, and the widows aud orphans of
those who died for their country are entitled
to the care of a generous and grateful peo
ple. We favor such additional legislation
as will extend the bounty of the -Govern-'
incut to all soldiers and sailors who were
honorably discharged, without Tegard to the
iength of service or the cause of such dis
charge. .-
i Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and
other European Powers concerning allegi
ance, oncea subject always a subject,"
having at last, through the efforts of the Re
publican pasty, been abandoned, ami the
American idea of the individual's right to
transfer allegiance having been accepted by
European nations, it Is the duty of our Gov
eminent to guard with jealous care the
right of adopted citizens against the as
sumption of unauthorized claims by their
former Governments, and we urge con
tinued caref id encouragement and protec
tion of voluntary immigration.
Tenth. The franking privilege ought to
be abolished, and the way prepared for a
speedy reduction of the rate of postage.
Eleventh. Among the questions which
press for attention is that which concern the
relation ot capital to lawr, ana the liepuh
Kcan party recognize the duty of so.shaping
etnsiatifD as to secure protection ami the
ii m pilar, tut iftigrsi impw
and a just share of the mutual profits of
Uiese two great, ercmems 01 civinzaiion.
Twelfth. We hold th.tt Congress and the
President have only fulfilled an imwrative
duty in their measures for the suppression
of violent and treasonable organizations m
certain lately rcliellious regions, and for the
protection of the ballot-box, and therefore,
they are entitled to the thanks of the na
tion. '.'. Y '
Thirteenth. We denounce repudiation of
the public debt in any form or disguise as a
national crime. We "witness with pride the
reduction of the principal'of the debt and
rates of interest on the balance, and confi
dently expect our excellent national cur
rency will oe perf ected by a speedy resump
tion "of specie payment.
Fourteenth. " The Republican party is
mindful of its obligations to the loyal wtm
men of America for their noble devotion to
the cause of freedom. Their admission to a
wide field of usefulness is.received with sat
isfaction, and the honest demands of any
class of citizens for additional rights should
b treatedwith respectful consideration.
Fifteenth. We heartily approve the action
of Congress in extending amnesty to those
lately in rebellion, and rejoice in "the jteaee
and fraternal feelings throughout the land.
Sixteenth. The Republican party propose
to respect the rights reserved by the people
to themselves, as carefully as the powers
delegated by them to the States and to the
Federal Government. Itdisapprovesof the
resort to unconstitutional raws for the pur
pose of removing evils by interference with
rights not surrendered by tlie people to
either the State or National Government.
Seventeenth. It is the duty of the General
Government to adopt such measures as will
tend to encourage American commerce and
ship-tiuildine.
Eighteenth. We believe that the modest
patriotism, the earnest worth, purpose, the
sound judgment, the practical wisdom, the
incorruptible integrity and the illustrious
services of UlvssesS. Grant have commend
ed rum to the hearts of the people, and with
him at our head we start to-day upon a new
marco 10 victory

I,:nt 1'rhlay night, J tine 21, tlie ltc
piililic.ins of Miltun held a Mass Meet
ing in the public jitieete, in front of
the store of Samuel James. A large
United States Aug, . non which was
inscribed the names ot'd"ie.sident U.
S. Grunt aad Hon. Thoinns Settle,
wa.s I'niiLnn over the honds of the
speaker.-. The speakers, were Thomas
Settle, '.F. Henderson and(Jeo..M.
Arnold. While they were address
ing the crowd, ..rocks and pieces of
brick were thrown at the stand. A
vice-president and secretary of the
meeting were struck, but not serious
ly injured. Some of the missiles were
thrown frowi-tne wipr1ofrf7rfwite to
where the speakers were standing.
llotten eggs were- thrown at tli
American flag by the infuriated Dem
ocrats. One of these stale eggs struck
a leading Democrat, a delegate to the
State Democratic Convention held at
Greensboro. Thisgentleman . took no
part in the disturbance, and condemn
ed the whole proceeding without stint.
An officer of" the town of Milton, a
constable, was a ring-leader in throw
ing out insulting and abusive threats
to .Judge Settle and Col. Henderson.
If an otlicer of the county is to be
known as a leader in noisy strife and
turbulence and in organizing; attacks
upon a public meeting, what must the
more dignified and peaceable mem
bers of the community think? The
outrages attempted npon the meeting
in question were the work of men
claiming to be par excellence, gentle
men and conservatives, but neverthe
less, they were white men. -The mass
es of the Republican party, especially
tlie colored people, have never been
guilty of disrespect or tumultuous
conduct at Conservative meetings.
There is no reason wh- insults should
be '. offered to Judge Settle, a gentle
man of irreproachable 'character aud
fine abilities, an old friend ami neigh
bor of many of the Caswell people
and their acquaintance since his 003--hood.
lie is an honest and distin- j
guished son of North Carolina, and
is generally well liked for his many
high qualities, noble bearing and gen
erous, impulses. It was due to him, i
notwithstanding thedifferenceof opin-
ion between him and a majority of
the w hite people of Milton, that he
should have received courteous treat
ment ; and the fact that he has been
insulted, simply shows that barbarism
rather than civilization, prevails a-
1 1 1 11 1 r iv S1 fin t lm?y-fb" "fnilf rf I
ican flag, by the throwing at it of rot
ten eggs, and the disgraceful epithets
heaped upon Judge Settle while ad
dressing the people, and the noisy and
boisterous disposition of this band of
Conservative Greeleyites, we are glad
to say, is condemned by many of the
Democrats of Milton. This town
must endure the everlasting disgrace"
of throwing the first rotten eggs at the
old flag during this campaign.
But the spirit of misrule in Caswell
county is not confined to Milton. At
Yancey ville, the next da-, Saturday;
June 22, the same speakers addressed
a Republican meeting. The meeting
was held in a large tobacco ware
house, owned by Mr. Poteat. A large
crowd of Republicans were present
and the Democrats were there in full
force. It was the meeting of the Re
publican County Convention. Geo.
M. Arnold came forward and report
ed the ticket agreed upon ; after which
he introduced "judge Settle as the first
speaker. The J ud ge had not proceed
ed far, when it was evident that there
was a S3-stematic plan arranged to
prevent his speaking. Rut he would
not be put down by noise and inter
ruptions. Failing in this plan, as the
Democrats did, they then resolved to
raise a riot. Judge Settle disregard
ed their insults, knowing their pur
pose. There were many well-disposed
citizens among the Democrats,
who sought to suppress the disorder.

The selection of Gen. Grant as can.
did atfe lor the next Presidency was a
foregone conclusion not for the rea-,
son often given, that he was the poli
ticians candidate, but for tlie reason
that hi was demanded by the rank
and file of the voters in the Republi
can m it . So tar was he f rom being

had dared to doit. 'e knot? of num
bers in the Philadelphia Convention
who freely confessed that Grofht was
not their personal cjioice, but, said
tliey, the common people will not take
up any other man !
Thir choice of the people is the
more remarkable, because Grant has
none of those way s which excite popu
lar enthusiasm, lie is hot an orator,
nor an enthusiast, nor a showy man.
He has no tricks to catch applause.
IIeis helplessly silent, tin impassion
ed, simple, liking neither puUicshow
nor " taking appearances of any
kind. Considered ashe bait of po
litical fishermen, there was never a
less tempting fly throjvu upon the
wrinkled water. . .... :
The etfectrjiswers the cause There
is no popular effervescence at the
name of Grant. He does not create
enthusiasm even in those who aTe
most earnest in his advocacy.
What, then, is Ins hold upon the
country ? for, in a calm and dull
way, men stick to him.
At the close ot the war Grant bad
wrought out a reputation for good
sense, patient energy, trustworthiness
and safety. This reputation has not
suffered.-'.: Men do not quote his
speeches, for he makes none; they do
not mention any brilliant political
generalship he lias shown none. Rut
he is steady, "patient, honest-inindert
and safe. Men do not fenr that he
will experiment. Government is not
an experimental laboratory ; no a
professor's chair for eloquent theifries
in political economy. It is a busi
ness machine. Experiments are too
expensive to be tried on tho scale of
a continent. And so, white one man
calls Grant a stick, a wooden man ;
another, andiel nu i iul j t
smokes ; and others, a blunderer ; yet
the great bulk of considerate men see
that he is conducting the Administra
tion, on the whole, prudently, with
safety to all the great interests of the
country. His Administration, judged
by fair business tests has been a suc
cess, and the common people know it.
Every year onr people, with grow
ing intelligence, are less inclined to
put the administration of Govern
ment into the hands of brilliant tink-
ers.
Three and niofo'years of prac
tice have made Gen. Grant a much
better President than when he left
the army for civil life. The business
men of the country, who wish the
Government to run steadily and safe
ly, feel confidence in Grant's pru
dence. If, then, Grant is re-elected,
it will not be by the proclamation of
office-holders, nor by the grace of pol
iticians, nor Ivy the wild enthusiasm
of the populace, but by the votes of
men who believe that uo other avail
able man brings so few risks, and in
sures so many Certainties of a sober
and wise AdBistration.
The nominadohr of Wilson'for thef
Vice-Presidency is wise, though the
renornination of Colfax would not
have been unwise. It 1 was a very
evenly-balanced case, and happily one
that could not be settled wrong which
ever way it went. 1 No doubt Air. Col
.fax would thave been renominated
without a thought of change if he had

Among the victims of the recent
railroad smash-up at Metuchen, N. J.,
was u Danish couple named Potaksen,
In-ing the sou of a Danish nobleman.
They were on tlieir bridal tour, and
were en route to San Francisco, where
Potassen's brother is Danish' Gonsul.
When the terrible crash came all was
darkness and confusion for a few mo
ments, but the gentleman '.soon re
covered 'consciousness, and his first
thought was of his bride. An imme
diate search was made for the lady,
who ivas jtt last found beneath a heap
of debris, senseless and covered with
blood. Upon raising her up her hus
band was. horrified to find that one of
her arms had lieen completely torn
off. The unfortunate lady was re
moved to shelter, and the husband
began the sickening task of seeking
his" wife's missing arm. He proclaim
ed that upon one of tho fingers was
the diamond wedding ring, a jewel
worth many hundred dollars, and in
stantly a general search was begun.
Among the prowlers at-dut the wreck
was a train hand, who was observed
to secrete something under his coat
And walk away. He was sonn over
hauled, and on perceiving that he had
been detoeUU, he threw down bis bur
den, which proved to be the lost arm.
It was picked up ..by the nobleman,
who removed the ring and caused the
&Ym to be taken care of. The lady
was brouirht to St. Rarnabas I lospftal,
tij'Xewaik, where she now lies in a
t'fthdtfpft Peatr uutirf i iw
' stances.
The following is from a Frederick
comity, Md., paper: "We had quite
a sudden death here at the factory
yesterday. You know where the old
meeting house is at the factory. W ule
the Sunday School wp.s as.sembled,
old Mr. Rice Levi stepped in, accom
panied by some other gentlemen, and
made an'address, in which he used
rather improper language, arguing on
some passages of Scripture.
Mr. Henscl (probably the superin
tendent of the Sunday School) main
tained the veracity of the Bible, which
the former entirely rejected, saying
he dhtnot believe in the Rible at all;
that it was a book brought together
by the illusions of the prophets, and
without speaking another wonl, ook
his hat and left the church. Trying
to bitch his horse, he dropped lown,
and the horse trampled upon him.
Thev picked him up, earned him back
into the church, where atteinps at
itmn were made without sue-
cess : then they took him to Mr. Col
bert's Rouse, where, in the course of
an hour, he expired. H was speech
less from the moment he lea the
church till his dealn.
