Battle' in dividual riiponubility. Vhen h great party act forth in an address an riion of facts and principle?, upon which it cla'.m t c coi.tidei.ee m.d jppori of the peo ple, it h it duty rertipuloti-ly to adhere to the tiutn of history.

The addrei"!, to alluded, irf leeming which 1 have Willi misrepre Bentatiuni from bemnin to end. I liave deltettd only one for cnti ciem. It is a fair tample of the i el. 1 do not accure Mr. iidttle.of per Boual laldtho.d. 1 have known him for many )eam ai.U entertain a hi'h regard lor nw per&onal integrity; btii, there must be hoa.cthing raUicaliy wrong in the constitution of tin? IJouihon Democracy, tiial can blind such a man aa Mr. liattle,and induce him deliberately to give the sanction of his name to a paper that, in my oinion, slanders some of the pureat and beat men of th State, living or dead. The living ought to repel the charge; the dead will limJ, I hope, a vindication in this ariicie. But, Mr. Editor, the Democratic press aiid 8jeakerd, of high and low degree, and of no degree at all, have bo ionn and so persistently asserted, that the Kepuolican party alone is responsible for the lesue of the Special Tax Bonds, and that these bond are tJjo mutt coupioOou mouunient of na corruption, that some of them really believe the assertion to be true. For instance, 1 tind the following in an editorial of a highly respecta ble paper of receni date: HThe special tax bojids, which now amount to nearly twenty-three mil lions, were issued by a liepublican Legislature for the ostensible pur pose of building railroads, but not a dollar of them was spent on rail roads. The money was used by private individuals for their own use." The editors of this paper are hon orable gentlemen and would not wil lingly do injustice to any one. They were misled by over confidence in the assertions of othesr. I quote it simT ply to show th tone and spirit of the Democratic press, and what wide spread mischief the various Demo cratic Executive Committees of the State and their coadjutors have wrought on the public mind. Of courso they never appeal to the journals of the General Assembly to prove their statements, or to enable a candid and anxious hearer, or reader, to learn the truth for him self. Were they to do so, the venom wotild drop hurtless from their pens, and their wind hags, filled with declamatory froth, would be thrown aside, or useless, from their swelling cheeks. Even General Scales, who ought to know better, condeeccuds to make this one of the chief articles of arraignment of the Republican party, II he aspires to be a statesman, he should first inform himself, and thus qualified, go forth and teach his fellow-citizens. But in charity the writer believes, or rather hopes, that he does not Jcnoio any better or he would not de scend to such depths of demagogism. It may be, that the Democratic Executive Committee, of whieh R. H. Battle is chairman, has misled General Scales, or General Scales has misled the committee, or some better informed and less scrupulous person has imposed on their cre dulity and misled them both. But be this as it may, let us pro ceed to the charges of the com mittee. They are in substance : I. That the Republicans fraudu lently issued the special tax bonds. II. That they fraudulently sold them. III. That the State has received nothing in return for them ; and IV. That the Democrat s have an nihilated them, and thus protected the State against this meditated Re publican swindle. No one can admire, more than the writer, the ingenuity with which the author of the address has con densed in one short sentence so many false statements. There is not a word of truth in a single one of these assertions ; but on the contrary I maintain the following propositions: I. That the bonds were not con- , i , j n corruption, nor fraudulent ly I'ttied, hut were the result of high ptr.oi;C rnofiv. jl. That' if they were negotiated wah intent' to defraud the Stale, Denn crats were much more deeply involve 1 - than' K public. r. in the ft h.ni. us attempt. I will prove the pr j-jsition to the satisfaction of fa? r minded and intelligent man" jn th" State, who will do me the honor of ret ling thi paper.' I relieve the committee of the nec. ioity of (-roving their charge. I a-tunie" the ggr(ive and will pro.e mine- Let them Hand on the lei. ii'ive. iri'i .only josilioii,inai me DeinocraUf party ihould ever occupy. I am aware of t4.e reponibility I aaumc ; for e.ery Democratic new pajrfT and every speaker, from Sena tor down to a township constable, for the loiit fourteen years, time and ai'ain-, have male these charge a'tMist the Republican party. An to tnv tirst proportion : One would uj'o-e, that State pride, r. fji ;t for the Cene-ra! Assembly, a dert regard for the honor of one bnndiei "and twenty members, who enjoyed tU" confidence of their con-8tiu-n'', rttio'ild and would restrain ii '..d c.t'.eu or even a man of or imirtly hum are fi-,lin3 from mak ing, aa'iuiiit pucti a body of men, or a majority '-of thi m, without the most e mv'incin evidence, a charge (,f c,r: u Jition The courts will never in i 1 1 1. it m. fiiotivt'ri OI the 111 i m v ------ line, nor annul a sta'ute unless it is m:wiife.-i ly unconstitutional. .Bui I invoke no such defence for li e Gei.eral Assembly of 18W-"G0. Its art ion cm be vindicated against the "envy, hatred, malice and all iinchflritableties" of the Democratic party '' appeals -to iU journals and t. the hi-tory of the timea. Slavery had just been abolished, and all men, without distinction of party, looked, it may be too confi dently, for the Slate, under tho now order of things, to shoot forward on a course of prosperity hitherto un paralleled. A spirit of enthusiasm seized on the minds of the people, very un wisely it is true, and hurried them on far beyond the bouuds of pru dence. - " Similar instances are not unknown in i his country and in Europe. Students of" history will recall the South Sea 'Bubble in England and L' Mirfjiopj eohvme in rnc. A similar craze swept over Eng lad in 184G. Millions were invest ed in railroads, that paid no divi dend?, and wide spread bankruptcy followed; so in our own Western "States at a -later period. Governor Holden in his Inaugural address well expresses the sentiment of the whole State at the time. lie says: A vigorous and well di ncted system of internal improve ments, from the sea shore to the Tennessee line, thus placing us in direct communication with the Mis sissippi valley, with cheap rates of freights and travel, would stimulate agriculture and the mechanic arts, build up our sea ports, increase our commerce, both foreign and coast- wise, draw tnitner immigrants irom the Northern States and from Eu rope, arrest emigration from the State, give employment to thousands of our people, and thus place us at no very distant day in the front rank of American States." See Doc. No. 2, 1868-GO, page 9. This hope, pervaded all ranks of society and under its inspiration thetc bonds were issued; members of both parties voting, some for them and others against them. Let me not be misrepresented. do not defend the issue of these bonds. 1c was a great misfortune, but was not criminal. INow what Democrats voted for ithem? In the Senate.

These ap Dronriations amount to $8. fi4.fi 000. U i , , . rvGovernor Jarvis did not vote on either of these last two bills. If he was in the House, then he seems to have dodged ; if he was absent, upon his return he could, if he hud wish ed, have had his vote recoided eiiher for or against them. Were these men guilty of fraud and corruption? I do not believe it. .But this I say, that if the Repub licans of the General Assembly "is sued fraudulent bonds, destroyed the credit of the State and reduced her to bankruptcy," the above named Democratic members, who voted with them, were guilty of the same atrocious crimes. If Mr. Battle's charge is true as to the Republicans, it is equally true as to th Democrats; and tne Democratic party, instead of elev .ting one to the office of Gov ernor, another to that of Lieut. Gov ernor and still another to a seat in Congress, should have consigned them, oe and all, to an mfamoat obcontv. So much for my fmt propitio that thee bond wer cot conceited m corrtipuon, i.or fraudulently it ue.Jf hut were the reuit of patriot ic motive. II. Now an to 'my second propoti. lion: Democratic oratori from Dea con I'oram and the UonM'ctro'ttiai V. aby at the grtK.xry rser .'

Thi charge i more palpably un true than the first. Iet u appeal to the record. There were irsued 15. 390,000 in bonds, which went into the hand of varioug Presidents to be eold. r en of thewj Presidents were Denio ocrata and ttco were Republicans. Of the above amount $ 12,070,000 went into the hande of Democratic Presidents and $3,320,00 to Repub lican Piedidents, as follows: PEN ITKN'TI A II Y kOA !.-. John M.

The living can take care of themselves ; and if they are willing to remain silent I am con tent : But on behalf of the honor ed dead, whose lips are sealed, I lift up my voice in the sternest accents of denunciation against any man or set of men, who, actuated by party malice, would with their poisoned arrows pierce the breasts of their friends in the mad attempt to de stroy their adversaries. Plato Durham, Judge Osborne and Ferebee are dead. Does any man outside of the Democratic party believe, or dare assert, that these men voted in favor of issuing fraudulent State bonds? If the Republicans who voted for them were guilty of fraud, so were they, who voted with them. They must stand or fall together. There is no escape from this conclusion, except to suggest that the Democrats were all fools and the Republicans all knaves, who overreached their weaker brethren. No ! these men were neither knaves nor fools. Through life they discharged with fidelity and honor every trust committed to their keeping. One would suppose, that the charge, made by the Democratic State Executive Committee, by their press and by their speakers, that these bonds were fraudulently issued, were sold with intent to swindle the State and that she has received no part of their proceeds, would not be very pleasant Sunday reading for those Democratic gentlemen, still alive, who cither voted for thier issue or, as financial agents of the State, negotiated their sale. Well may they exclaim with the Psalmist: It is not an open enemy that hath done me this dishonor; for then I could have borne it: Neither was it mine adversary, that did magnify himself against me; for then perad venture I would have hid myself from him : But it was even thou, my com panion, mt guide, and mine own fa miliar friend. Now a few words to the Demo crats of North Carolina: I know a great many of you are honest, consciencious men, sincerely desirous of knowing and following the truth. Unfortunately, educa tion in our State is very limited and, therefore, you have confided too implicitly in your leaders. They have deceived you by perverting the truth and by appeals to your passions and prejudices.

Assurances of deep interest. on the part of the jeople hve been bt ought in by every mail." Contributions from the working people have Uen received in this canvass as they never have been received before. The National Committee fe!s that the people who demanded the nomi nation of Mr. Blaiae are enlisted for the canvass, and that each voter will make the success of the Natiooal ticket a personal matter so far as he can do go. Saturday was an ac tive day, and the two members of the committee on duty were engaged with callers till after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Among the visitors were Senator Miller, California; Iogan II, Roofs, Arkansas; Senator Jolm W. Griggs, New Jersey; and Fred Miles, Connecticut. A. L. Morrison, of New Mexico, chairman of toe Irish Republican National League, Siid to a Tribune reporter: 'I have jost been to Ohio. The Irish voters in that State are determined to defeu the candidates of the London Tines and Gobden Club. They are moving over to Blaine in largo numbers. I nave here a list of 000 lrish't--ters who areJls gusted with the Democrats and have promised to. support Blaine. These names are from a single..' small city. I want to relieve the Democrats of the idea that Cleveland will getall or even a considerable part of the Irish vote. One hundred and twenty eight delegates from one county have pledged themselves to attend the convention at Cincinnati on the last day of September. I am receiv ing each day large lists of names from Ohio. The best of feeling be tween the Irish and the Germans prevails. They w;ll unite to de feat the common enemy. August II. Bode, president of the Cincin nati Central German Republican CI u b, wrote : 'When a person pre tending to be a German Republican annnounces in the papers here that theGermans are going to vote against Blaine, because the Irish are going to vote for him, the object sought to be accomplished is too plain to de ceive anybody. Tie question at is sue being for American citizens to decide, let it be done by them regard less of their birth-place or descent. Let Irish-Americans and German Americans tight shoulder to shoul der with the Republican hosts for victory of the party of liberty and progress the defeat of empty prom ises and Free Trade British policy.' The German and Irish voters of Ohio will do their full duty by Mr. Blaine." Senator Miller, of California, said of the political outlook on the Pa cific Slope: "The prospects for Re publican success ate excellent. Blaine is personally very popular, and the people want him elected. Tae abuse which the Democrats have helped upon him has only strengthened him. He is a little stronger every day. We don't hear much of the independent movement out in California, nor of the Greenback or Labor partus. The fight is between the Democratic and Republican parties. General Butler will not receive many votes, and the support which he does will come from the Democrats. There it some Prohibition sentiment, but it is not crystalized and aggressive. The working men of California and our citizens of Irish extraction are moving over grandly to the support of Blaine just a3 they are doing here in the East. There is no trouble about the Pacific States. If we do proper work we shall carry them all." William H. Sears, collector of the port of San Francisco, said : "There will be a political revolution in Cal ifornia this year. The present Gov ernor, Mr. Stoneman, a Democrat, was elected by more than 20,000 majority. Then, the Republicans did not give their candidate hearty support, and they were divided upon many local issues. Now, the situa tion is changed reversed ; the Democrats are divided and unhar monious; the Republicans are united and working together splendidly.

A Magnificent Victory for. the Uepahll' cans Large (ialns )Ter lh0. ii i . i i..:i: The aggressive campaign begin to show icsults. The Ik-publicans have hoped to gain eight or ten thousand in Maine, over the result in the September before Garfield was elected. The return thus far received indicate that they have gained at least twelve thousand, and it is believed that full returns from the back districts will raise the majority to fifteen thou sand.
