OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES. The selection of candidates in this county has been conducted on a different plan this year from any heretofore tried. It was thought desirable to ascertain as nearly as i 1 - - possible the choice of the people, and iji order to do this, the Executive Committee directed the Townships-to lold full meetings, ancf take the vote of the people. This was done, rather imperfectly no doubt ; for in some cases the attendance at Township meeting was small; And in other cases, the attendance was tardy, spreading through the larger part of the day, whereas, the holding of the meeting pnd taking the vote was only the work of a few-minutes time, cutting off from its pnvi- ees those who were slow in arriving. Xotwithstanding these and other impcrfec tions in the plan, (which, hereafter, should be amended), it wofked pretty well ; and we have a ticket made up by the people themselves, who will doubtless support it with more zeal, than any presented to them in a long time. j It is not out of place to call attention to cine defect in the above plan, and that is, ip leaving the Townships to make their own Appointment of day for holding the town- sjhip meeting when candidates arc to be se lected for the county; By this rule, the town ship meetings will be held at different times, affording ah opportunity to interested men to run around from one township to another and set to work cunning machinery by which to control the action of the town ship. It would be better, we think, to hold all the township meetings on the same aay, There would be fewer chances for outside influences to come in and affect the spontan eous expression of the people; fewer dis tractions of the mind, and therefore a clearer Verdict rendered. The comparison of the votes ofthc town sjiips on Saturday last, showed an almost un animous vote for Mr. W. II. Crawford, for the Senate J. Henderson and J. S Mc dubbins, Sr., were decidedly chosen for the Commons; Waggoner, for Sheriff;' Fraley, for Coroner ; J. S. McCubbins, Jr., for Treas urer; Woodson, for Register; and J. 0 Bernhardt, for Surveyor. It was found that only three persons had received a ma jority of the townships for Commissioner, so that the delegates had to go into an elec tion for two more to complete the Board The two persons selected had received five townships each in the primary township elections. Mr. Rcid got the'vote of Salisbury, Mt. Ulla, Locke, Litaker and Morgan ; rep resenting a voting strength (as compared wjith Robbins' vote two years ago) of 7CG. Sir. Davis had received the vote of Salisbury, Mt. Ulla, Atwcll. Gold-Hill, and Scotch Irtish ; representing a voting strength of 948, wjhich is 152 more than a Majority ot the Conservative voting strength of the count v. In strict accordance with the elective principle, not he who recciv.es the votes ot tlie largest number of townships should be declared elected, but he who receives tlie largest representative vote of the people. Oh his principle there were four Commis sioners elected instead of three, and under it just operation some trouble and feel injg might have been prevented. We do not know who is responsible for the precedent ofj ruling by the number of townships : wpether it was by common consent merely, orjby oversight ot all. Certainly it is an inter esting question which should hereafter be wjell understood, and we have no hesitation in declaring in favor of the largest number of .votes instead of the largest number of tovin- shiDS. Atwell or instance, mvpsnrnnsprrn. ; ' ' ' ' ' ' " ' IO try vote ot W$y whilst Morgan gives but Co. There is no reason why the votof Morgan shjould count equal to that of Atwell. But tlijere is reason why the vote of Atwell should cojunt its full strength, which would be an;d Morgan 1. There is no reason ii why Unity with her 79 votes should equal Frank Hii with her 1G9. Nor that Gold Hill, with her IJjS should balance Salisbury's 322. It pnjist be apparent io all that this question iought to be settled before another contest coines around, for the present mode of jedunting is certainly wrong. - fThe recent Methodist conference at Cane May, did not agree ujwm a basis of re-union iet ween northern and southern churches, as ias been incorrectly stated j but to a pty'n bjr re-cttabljshjng fraternal relations.

GEORGE WIIITE, j A respectable colored mau of Halifax County, talks to his colored friends hi this sty la; ' J j "It must be remembered that we only represeut a fragmentary portion of our whole population, and it is to our best in terest always to move with the popular class, especially here in the South, where our living is entirely dependent upon the employ men!, help and chanties of t be dorm inant class. The most of the office-holders were as we. are when we elected them to office, and all they hnve eoer done for us has been iv make enemies of life time old friends, rob the treasuries both oftState and Nation, leaving us-to be taxedjtof re place what they have stolen. ihe result of said taxation has destroyed the life of business every where -even closed up schools and churches with a starving min istry aud laity scattered about, tbe State, living in want and shame. Never before iu our history did the colored man pre sent such a fearful spectacle ! The! peni tentiaries are crowded throughout the Southern States It is the biz stealing at Washington -that causes small stealing elsewhere, and as the scripture teaches, "thou shall not steal," we should under stand that we are forbidden to aid in stealing by voting or otherwise. The Republican party is corrupt from head to foot, and when a ptrty becomes thus polluted it can no more cleanse or purify itself than can a guilty sinner at t he alter of mercy cleanee or purify himself; bis change requires the operation 6f an other party altogether. We have tried Republican rule tor the last fifteen years and the country grows worse and Worse. Give us ance and 1 ilden; Then jhe country will be reutemtd." VANCE AND SETTLE 1 FOUSYTUE AND STOKES.

It is plaii: the bloody shirt doesn't wave well. J he deserters themselves are sick of it. "What in the deuce is that fcllowi talk ing of desertion for ?"' said a man in ihe crowd at Winston. ''I'd a irreat sieht .1 1 , 1 . it 1 . 0 raiuer nt a icu me uow to make souie bread aud meat for my children darn him I was a deserter myself an I'm goin' to vote for Vance."

" It has been the song of Judge Settle from every stump that Vance, wheirelec ted Governor, immediately went over to tbe secession aud war party, lint at Salem Vance sprung a paper 011 Settle, au old copy of the balem Press that had been preserved by Mr. MaSten, which came up as a witness from the dead past a nl covered the charge with confusion and defeat. Dr. Wheeler and old Solici tor Starbuck, at a meeting of the citizen? of Salem twelve months after Vance had been Governor, passed the most lulsume resolutions lauding Vauce heavenward for sustaining-the civil over the military. Yattcti was irresistible as he read these resolutions. He would read awhile and then pause and laugh awhile. The effect was prostrating to Settle aud the revenue. At Ddiibury to-dav Jude Settle rath er departed from hid usual evenness of temper 111 interrupting Vance wiih ejacu lations of "that's not so." In u reply speech Vance sprung on the.

No men were ever dru mmed from my comoitnv A man named Apple arose in the croard '"It is so, Cautnin Settle : I; was there and know the fact." ;- Settle considering -"Yes, but not for cowardice ; 1 had them drummed out for larceny." Here was an issue, when a man n&raed Peed was put on the stand, aud ; bore Settle out that the drumming wak for larceny and not for cowardice. iThis crossed heads with Apple and Peed who talked the matter over, and lost as the crowd was leaving, Judge Settle cried out that Apple bad agreed he was correct, the men were drummed our for larceny.

Av Absurdity. Settle makes the absurd statement that Vance might have stopped the war ! Nobody is green enough to believe, that. Why, suppose Vance in 1863 or 1864, or early in 1S65, if! he bad been so disposed and his oath of office had not been in the way, had undertaken to stop the war. don't every body see and know Xortb Carolina, situ ated in here between the two armies of the Confederacy, would have beeu over run and utterly ruined aud crushed out? Qf course she would, and tbe name of Vance would gave gone down in infamy. If Tanoe was half big enough man to have! stopped tbe war, he is big enough tar JJovernor, and too big for Settle to bipavidsqn Record. ! 1 j Col. W. L.
