Gen. Hancock's Lcllcr of Acceptance.
This well written but, considering
the source from which it conies, very
remarkable letter, will be found in full
in another column. It ignores all
questions of practical legishition, such
as the currency and the tariff, and
J
deals almost exclusively, in , general
or abstract principles. Had it been
by sundry Southern Democratic jour
nals as subversive of the true princi
ples of the Government. It is true
the word "irai'i" is nowhere used
to describe the nature and character
of the Governmcntjbut it is described
as a Nation quite 9 fully withajut the.
use of the word as it could have been
with it. No trace of the time-honored
Democratic doctrine that the Consti
tution is "a mere compact between
sovereignties" is to be found in the
entire letter. It fully and unequivo
cally asserts that the 13th, 14th and
15th amendments arc inviolably parts
of the Constitution, and that said
amendments embody the results of
the war for the Union. The Consti
tution' in every article, section and
amendment, is declared to be the
supreme law of the land, every at
tempt to impair or evade the full
force of whicb must be resisted with
all the power of the Executive.
When it is considered that oue of
the amendments makes all persons
born or naturalized in the United
States citizens of the United States,
and, consequently, of the States in
which, they reside,"and declares that
no State shall abridge the privileges
and immunities of citizens of the
United States, it may well be asked
if the national character of the Gov
ernment can be stated in stronger or
clearer language. And if Gen.Garfield
Lad said in his letter of acceptance
that, if called to the Presidency, he
should deem U bis tlty to rtit with
all his power any attempt to impair
or evade the full force of any of the
Constitutional amendments, as Gen
Hancock has done, the cry of "threat
ened bayonet rule" would have re
sounded through the land.
Our dual form of government, State
and National, is very well described.
The powers of the State governments
are declared to be local to the States,
and equal authority is claimed for
them with the General Government,
but not greater. The "unity of gov
ernment which constitutes us one peo
ple" is a principle very properly
adopted from the farewell address
of that good, old nationalist, George
Washington. J eflerson's and Cal
houn's idea, that the Union is com
posed of a number of sovereign and
independent peoples, united under a
mere compact, is utterly excluded
from the letter. In short, while pro
fessing to accept the life-long princi
ples of the Democratic party it totally
rejects them. The sentiments, of the
letter are such,that if read, as they
may very easily be, in the writings of
Alexander Hamilton, by Southern
Bourbon Democrats, they would be
pronounced as monarchical in their
tendency. "Consolidation," that fore-
runner of the " Kmpirc, wouW
found in almost ettry line. Ytt all
these thing arc ovc rdooked by tb
.Southern Democracy, who would role
for Hamilton himself, were be now
iviug, in order to acquire place and
owcr.
Other portions of the letter n-ein to
be extremely aarcaatic." When Oco.
IIanco:k declare that M it is only by
a full vole, free ballot and fair count
that the people can rule" he mutt
jave in view many of the acU of bis
own party, now win ;.! -
tion be icttivc-d hy those Democrats
who hare practically disfranchised
undreds of thousands of fre citi
zen in the South, by either denying
to them the ballot or refusing to count
their votes ? How it will be received
by those llcmxra'j who, under the
flimsiest-" pretext, refused to count
the votes cast for 0'IIara, and count
ed Kitchen into a at in Congres,
for which he had been beaten nearly
3.000 votes? And when he talk of
fraud is he alluding to the " Cypher
Dispatches " by which Tilden at
tempted to steal the Klectond votes
of whole Ftates? Did be hare rt
ference to the attempt by the Demo
cratH and (ifeenbackers to steal the
I government he State of Maine? of peace, and that eace had come
kiVaaihc trfteOcinfe ftf tJ' eountleiby the cessation of resistance to tbo
fraud of which the Democratic party
has Ixrin guilty in the course of its
life, including the fraudulent natural
ization of forty thousand Democratic
voters in New -York in 1808 ?
In Koine things wc, 'and all other
good Republicans, can join Gen. Hun-
cock most heartily. When he de
clares that "the unity of government
which constitutes us one ojIe
U the main pillar. in the edifice
of our real independence, the support
of our peace, safety and prosperity
and of that liberty we so highly prize
and intend at every hazard to pre
serve," he touches a responsive chord
in the breast of hundreds; of thou
sands of Republicans, but produces
no vibration in the hearts of hun
dreds of thousands of Democrats.
When he calls for "a full vote, free
ballot and fair count" every Repnl
lican in the land says "amen." When
he gives us to understand that he be
lieves the war for the Union was one
of duty and patriotism, and that un
der like circumstances he would do
just as Abraham Lincoln did in 18G1,
good Republicans are at a I033 to
know in what his Democracy consists.
And when those Democratic papers,
which still contend for 4State sover
eignty in the sense of the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions of 17 0S-'99,
so loudly indorse Gen. Hancock's let
ter of acceptance, we are obliged to
distrust either their honesty .or their
intelligence.'..'. - Everybody knows that
the number of Democrats in the whole
fforsfi tnc principles of Cue leller" is
very small- not a tythe of the whole
number. GciuIIancock ma' be hbn
est in the principles he has enunciated
his past career would lead us to that
conclusion but they are not the prin
ciples of his part. And whatever
may be said of him the great mass of
his followers cannot be trusted. On
the other hand, the followers and sup
porters of Gen. Garfield fully indorse
his national principles, and can be
safely trusted.
The more Gen. Hancock's record
and avowed principles arc considered
the more apparent it becomes that in
nominating him his party has acted
with lnincenty and duplicity. As
the' took Greele- in 1872 on the prin
ciplc of .anybody to beat Grant, so
now they arc for Hancock only to
beat Garfield. They have put a Na
tional head on the old State sovci
eignty body with a secession tail ; but
no Republican will have any difliculty
in detecting the fraud.
J l due Buxton needs no defense at
our hands. The attacks that are be
ing made upon him by certain news
papers aud small politicians' will do
him much more good than harm.
They will show the people how much
reliance is to be placed in the honesty
and fairness of the average Demo
cratic politician. The tendency can
only be to strengthen Judge Buxton
and the Republican party at the ex
pense of their assailants. Such par
tisan -Warfare excites no feelings, in
the breast of upright and intelligent
Republicans, but those of pity and
sorrow. They can only lament that
the depravity of human nature is such
that no political opponent, however
pure and exalted a character h may
be, commands the respect of many of
tne leaders ot a party that claims to
represent all the virtue and all the
intelligence of the State. Taking no
other than a partisan view of the mat
ter we might rejoice at these assaults
upon Judge Buxton ; for we believe
they will strengthen him and his party
with the honest masses. But what
ought to be thought of a journal
claiming to be respectable, so lost to
every sentiment of virtue and mor
ality as to rejoice at the wickedness of
its political opponents, because such
wickedness is likely to result to its
and its party's advantage ?
The fcoPY of the indictment of Hon.

Democratic nominations.
The Democratic District Conven
tion at Yadkinville on the 5th nomi
nated Hon. R. V. Armfield for Con
gress and Theo. F. Kluttz, of-Salis-bury,
for Presidential. Elector. The
long struggle is over and Armfield has
triumphed, but the disappointment of
Major Ilobbins' friends is very great.
Many of them openly declare that the
Major was not defeated lairly. They
say that if the vote had been taken
according to the rule kaid by the
State Convention for the government
of just such bodies Robbins would
have been nominated by a very de
cided majority. Even as it was they
say Robbins had a clear majority on
the first ballot and ought to have been
declared the nominee. The vote on
the first ballot stood for Robbins 7,
Armfield G. Even under the rule
that less than the fourth of a vote
should not be counted they say Rob
bins was nominated, as he received
j more votes than Armfield did. The

done legally and fairly. This is
question the respective friends -of the
two gentlemen must decide for them
selves. It is alleged that the masses
were for Robbins, but that they were
out-manonivered by the politicians.
Mr. Kluttz is a worthy gentleman
and a sprightly talker, but he will
find himself considerably o v e r
matched by Dr. Ramsay, the Repub
lican Elector. Ho will have to vary
his speech a good deal if he don't
want the Doctor to catch him
"The independent newspapers
have a struggle to keep on the fence this
season. Hancock's letter pulls them to
the Democratic side, while Garfield's re
cord pushes them still further over.
Charlotte Obsarer.
But two or three of the great "inde
pendent newspapers" are supporting
ilar.cock. Such able and influential
independent papers as the New York
Nation, the New York Evening Post,
the Boston Herald, the Springfield
Republican, the Providence Journal,
the Cincinnati Com mercial, the Roch
ester Herald and Cincinnati ValLs
Mat are for Garfield. Of the influen
tial independent papers the 'Philadel
phia Times alone seems to favor the
election of Hancock, but ably and
manfully defends Gen. Garfield. The
Chicago Times is rather Democratic
than independent, and is on the line
with the Times. As to the New York
Herald no one can tell which side it
will be on next week. If the course
of the independent press is to decide,
then Garfield's election may be set
down as absolutely certain.
The Raleigh Observer and some
other Democratic papers are trying
to get up a prejudice against Gen.
Garfield because he voted for the Civil
Rights Bill. Every intelligent and
well informed man knows that said
bill conferred ho rights upon the col
ored people that they did not have at
common law before, and that the
courts have so decided. But the Dem
ocratic party nominated and sup
ported DIorice Greeley in 1872, when
Mr. Greeley had proclaimed himself
in favor of the inter-marriage and
amalgamation of the races. u Those
who live in glass houses should not
throw stones." Mr. Greeley's theo
ries led directly to social equality,
while we all know that nothing of the
kind has resulted from the Civil
Rights Bill, and no sensible man be-
ieves ever will.
Gen. Hancock says "the bayonet
is not a fit instrument for collecting
the ballots of freemen."- To which
the Chicago Times, independent Dem
ocrat, replies with merciless sarcasm.
That is so ; men may run away lrom
the baj-onet ; the shot-gun is better,
because it has a longer range.

A Kkntlckv NEWsi'Ai'KU, which
fairly represents the. Democratic. sen
timent "of-the South, recently criti
cised Gen. Garfield's letter of accept
ance. It accused" (Jen. Garfield of
knowing full well " that the United
States are, in their collective capacity,
a Federal body politic; that the States
existed before the Union, and they
created it and are its integers, each
newspaper saw nothing to. condemn
in Gen. Hancock's letter of accept
ance, in which it is claimed that the
United States Is one people, i. e. a
Nation. Mr. Madison uses the words,
one people, Nation, and sovereignty,
as synonimous terms. See his letter
to Daniel Webster, under date of
March 17, 1833, and in various other
places. So, too,do other great writers
on the theory of our Government.

A Candid Confession. Some ten
days ago a number of persons were
dining at the table of a public hotel,
in one of the prominent towns of
Western North Carolina, when the
conversation was directed to the
chances of the present political cam
paign. A young man at the table,
connected with some of the best fami.
lies of Chis State, said, in substance,
that Garfield would not carry .any of
the Southern States, because the ne
groes would not be allowed "to vote
the Republican ticket, Iu my town,
said he, there are thousands of ne
groes, but we never let them vote the
Republican ticket the vote is always
nearly unanimous for the Democratic
ticket. In what town do you live,
asked some one of the guests ? In
Helen.., Arkansas, was the reply.
No comment is necessary the facts
speak for themselves.
Gov. Vance is reported as having
said in a speech at Staunton, Ya., that
$120,000,000 were stolen from the
Treasury during Gen. Grant's Admin
istration. This is very indefinite
Will Gov. Vance have the kindness
to state who were the thieves, and
what amount was stolen by each one
respectively? Gov. Tance ought to
know, if he does not, that the per
centage of stealing was much larger
under the Democratic than it has been
under the Republican administra
tions, aud that under those of Jack
son and Van Buren it was more than
three times as great. Has Gov. Vance
forgotten Swartwout, Price, Hoyt,
Harris, Boyd and other thieves of
that era?
A RIDICULOUSLY ABSCUD STORY has
been set agoing by Democrats that
$600,000 was sent to this State to
carry it against Horace Greeley in
1812. Are anything like such sums
used by parties to carry pivotal States?
One-eighth of that sum will be suffi
cient to keep up a show of carrying
out the contract for the building of
the Western N". C. Railroad until af
ter the election. And as to give up
North Carolina is to surrender all
hope of Hancock's election, there is
no doubt hope will be kept alive by
use of the campaign fund, if in no
other way.

Some men think that the man who
can string together a few conimon-jilaie
uh rases abouHIovernment thereby gives
proof of his fitness for the 1'rcsideni y.
A-.Democratic cotemjorary quotes the
following, and some other like sentences,
from ('eu. Hancock's letters, to prove
his fitness for the office :
"The rights of trial by jury, the ha-
lifa corpus, the liberty of the press, the
freedom of speech, the natural rights of
HTsons and the rights of projM;rty, must
be observed."
There is not a single idea or word in
the sentence that, is not centuries old,
and that might have found utterance by
any bright boy of ten years.

enough to satisfy the Northern mind
that a ' free ballot and a fair count '
is still denied to the colored voters of
some of the Southern States. Gen.
Hancock must have hail a sarcastic
allusion to cases like this when he
called for free elections in his letter
of acceptance.

There will be no fraudulent votes
cast in New York this year. The:
census returns are being copied for
use in every ward, and none will be
allowed to vote whose name is. not to

leaders in the city are much disturbed
at this certain method of defeating
their fraudulent tactics.

should deem It my duty to resist with
all of my power any aJU'inpt to itn
jiair or evade the full fniee and efl ct
of the Constitution, which in eveiy
article, hpcllon and amend nk nt, 1 the
supreme law of the IhihI. The Con

This Union, comprising a Gncrrd
( iov rnii)Clit willi geiiei.-d ueis and
State governments with State powers
for purposes local to the "Mate, it n
polity the foundations of which were
laid in the'profoundest wisdom. This
is-the. I'nion our fathers mnde, nud
which has lnen o ie-j e' ted abrou l
and so beneficent at home. Tiled bv
blood and fire, it stands today a
model form of free (lopular govein-
incut-a Mditu-al system which light
ly administered, has been and will
continue to be the admiration of the
world. May we not say nearly in the
words of Washington : The unity of
government which constitute u one
people is justly dear to us ; it is the
main pillar in the edifice of our real
independence, the Miport of our
peace, safety and prosperity, ami of
that liberty we so highly prize and
intend at every hazard to lues.-rie
It is only by a full vole, f'rte ballot
and fair count that the people, cun
rule in fact, as requin d by the theory
of our Government. Take thi- found
atioii away and the whole structure
falls.:. ;.
I'ublie office is a tru.-t, not a Ujunty
liestowed upon the holder. No in
competent or dislionest person should
ever -be intrusted with itor, if nj
pointetl, they should Ihj promptly re
jected. The basis of a substantial,
practical civil-service reform must
first be established by the 'jx'ople in
filling the elective iflices. I f they fix
a high standard of qualifications for
office, and stonily reject the corrupt
and incompetent,' the result will In
decisive in governing: the action of
the servants whom 'they intrust with
apointiig''jower.
The war of the I'nion wn success,
fully clo-ed more than fifteen year
ago. All classes of our x.-ople must
share alike in the blessings" of the
Union, and are equally concerned in
its perpetuity and in the proper ad
ministration of public atraiis. We
are in -a"-state of profound jeace.
Henceforth let it le our p-.irMe to
cultivate sentiments of friendship.
and not of animosity, among our f-b
low-citizens. Our maUMial interests,
varied and progressive, demand our
constant and united efforts. A M.d
ulous and scrupulous care of the pub
lic credit, together with a wise ami
economical management of our gov.
ernmental expenditures, should be
maintained, in order that labor may
be lightly burdened and that all x?r
sons may be protected in their rights
to the fruits of their own Industry.
The time has come to enjoy the sub
stantial benefits of the reconciliation.'
As one people- we hare common In
terests. Let us encourage the har
mony and generous rivalry among
