We conjrat61atethepeople of North Car olina on me era pi peace,prosperity and good government which has beenuh broken since the incoming of a Democratic State adminis tration; upon the pure and impartial admin istration of justice and the honest enforce ment of the law ; ipon the efficiency of our common school system and great advance made in education, and the general im provement and enterprise manifested in ev ery partiif the State, and we. pledge our selves to exert all efforts to advance the material interests of all sections of the State in the future as we have done in the past. And we challenge a comparison between a Democratic administration of our State; af fairs and the crimes, outrages and-scandals that accompanied Republican misrule. Af firming our adherence to Democratic prin ciples, as defined in the . platform adopted, by the National Democratic Convention held at Cincinnati, in 1880: V JfcWcKZ,' That we regard a' free and fair expression -of the public will at the , ballot box as the! only sure means of 1 preserving our free American institutions, and we de nounce the; Republicanparty and theinter- ierence ot ts tecleral officials for their gross irauas upon tne elective tranchise, whereby whole districts. States, and the Union have been deprived tf their just political rishts: and we believe the corrupt and corrupting use 01 leuerai patronage, and f:qr, public money drawn by taxation from the4 eople in influencing and controlling elections to be dangerous to the liberties of the State and the Union. - - ; 1 1 s Rcmlved That we are in favor of the en tire abolition of the internal revenue sys tem, with j its "attendant corruptions, and that we denounce the present tariff laws as grossly unequal, unjust and vicious. We favor such! a revision of the tariff as will produce a revenue sufficient for the econom ical support of the government, With such incidental protection as will give to domes tic manufactures a fair competition with those of foreign production. That there should bean immediate repeal of all laws imposing a direct tax for the support ot the government of the United States, but if it should prove impracticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its at tending demoralization, fraud aod corrup tion, then we urge upon our Senators and Representatives in Congress the importance of so amending the Law that the revenue officers wlionovv receive in salaries in North Carolina alone more than $500,000 shall be elected byj the people of the idealities to which they are assigned. Jeo?ee4 -T!iat t he course bf the Demo cratic pry since its accession to power in North Carolina in furtherance of popular educationjis a sufficient guaranty that we earnestly favor the education ofl all classes of our people, and that we will advocate any legislation lookiug'to an increase of.the fund for that purpose that will not f materially iwrease the present burdens of pur people. liesohed, That the question of pnthibi tion is not now, and never has been, a par ty question in North Carolina, and never been endorsed by the Democratic party, and the people of the State at the general election, in Hheyear 18S1 having by an overwhelming' majority voted against pro hibition, and the Supreme - Court having decided that the prohibition act is not and never has been a taw, we regard the matter as finally settled, and any attempt to re new the agitation is merely a weak effort of designing persons to divert the minds of the people from the dangerous! principles and corrupt practices of the Republican party- ' - l Itemized, That while we are not wedded to any particular form of county govern incnt, we recognize the fact that a large part of the taxes of.the State are paid for the common benefit by the white people of our eastern counties, and that we consider it the bounden duty of the white men of the State to protect these people from the oppressive domination of ignorant blacks, and pledge ourselves to such legislature as will secure this end. And whereas it is seriously ! suggested that vigorous effort will soon be made to compel the State by judicial proceedings, to pay the; fraudulent and unlawful special tasr bonds amounting to $22,000,000, issued under legislation passed by the Republican Legislature 1868 and 1869; therefore ' . Iiewlcett, further, That the Democratic party will? resist such recovery and the payment of such bonds by every lawful means.-, I ' ' : ' . , The above resolutions were read seriatim. and on motion were adopted as a whole as the platform of the' Democratic party of North Carolina. - j On motion of Mr. Furraan, the following rrcscrt utiort w as adopted : I : lieitolied,. That the -present faithful and efficient State Executive Committee of the Democratic party, with Col. Oct. Coke as chairmanj be and is Jiereby continued as the executive committee f the party, thanking j them .for the untiring zeal and triumphant results of their past services. Hon. AS.3Ierrimon being called on, de livered, an address of msrked ability the synopsis of which nve regret we cannot print in t.his issne.., ; '.' On his Jcbnclusion Mr. Paul B. Means moved that the thanks of the convention be tendered to Judge Merrimon b a rising vote for his able., masterly, 'eloquent and instructive address. Which motion ; being carried, all the members of the! convention rose to their feet with a shout of applause a compliment as handsome as it was deserv ed. ; v-'l-'i'r.:.-;t.i..;.i ; J. W.

King. AIlss Molly and Topsy. Two Extremely Humanized Young Persons -1 Come Here to Die of Colds. New York Sun. The bark Liberia, front Sierra Leone, arrived in this port ou Thursday. Be sides her legular cargo she hind 011 board a leopard.Sa large number of gray parrots and two chimpanzee. The moukeys are rare here, not more than eight having been lauded iu this country, j These two are females aud young, though the laiger is three feet tall. The other is a baby, aud seems to know her name, Molly. She is playful and affectionate, but her fellow-voyager, Topsy, has some ugly traits. ) The appearance and behavior of the two monkeys in the rear room of Mr. Reiche's store,nt 55 Chatham street, seem ed to justify the Darwinian theory. The two auimals look as though they might j represent the "missing liuk' The hair on their bodies is jet black, but that ou their almost human faces is of a some-j what lighter shade. Their eyes are hazel, aud have the light of intelligence in them, aud a great beauty aud glory about them, distinguishing them from all other mou keys, is that neither. of them has even a suspicion of a tail. , It was not thought advisable to leave them loiig together, and they were placed in separate compartments after Topsy had outraged propriety by taking forci ble possession of her sister's meal, aud gorgiug; hersejf with two dinners. To each was given a blanket, and the little one, as well as the big, rolled herself up in it and went to sleep. Molly was soon awake, and clamorous for more food. A banana was given to her, and she ate it slowly and cvideutly drew no additional relish from the feast by watching the efforts of Topsy to conceal her extremely human and feminiue jealonsyV The feast ended, Molly wiped her mouth and her fingers with a napkin. j . MolIy, Molly, come out aud hug me," said a man who had been instructed by thojeaptain of the bark, and the monkey came out, hugged himaffectioitally, whim pered like a child, aud, while holding him around the ueck with one arm, in serted the other np to the elbow in his breast pocket in search of auother banana. Both chimpanzees are exceeding clean and when ; ay dirt got ou : their hands they rubbed ft off witlrgfeal care. They were bought yesterday for the Philadel phia Zoological Gardens, and started for their new home at once. They are healthy at present, but this cliuiate has proved destructive to the chimpanzees brought over heretofore. They catch cold in the winter, inflamation of the lungs follows, and their days ou earth are numbered. In Their Tent. . Few men ever liad a grizzly bear tread on their legs and live to tell the story. Yet, according to an English member of parliament, who made a sporting tour through the West, this actually happened to a hunter named Bennett, j He and his two partners were trapping in the Rocky mountains. - Haviug seen red a number of of pelts one of the men went to the near est trading post to sell them and bring back necessary stores, j; j " Two or threeuights after his depar ture the bear took a quantity of meat. Thinking that the animal . would proba bly return to seek for more spoil they set a trap. , nan an antelope carcass was pinned to the ground, a' string stretched aroqnd jtand fastened, to the trigger of n 1 The Only Really W I f.L (Xr arasil T S.H. omental circus, BiLILROAD OF PALACE, SLEEPING, STOCK, FLAT AND BAGGAGE CARS, ALL i NEW.

Some time in the night the two hunters, who were sleeping in their tent, were awoke by the discharge of the rifles On goiug outside they found the cub j of a grizzly bear lying dead. Resetting the trapp they foolishly pulled the dead cub inside of their tent, aud turned in again. It was not long before they were aroused by the she-bear, who had followed the scent to the teut, aud had found its cb dead. Her distress was great. She fon dledl the dead body, licked it and whined over it. The hunters scarcely dared breathe, much less stir, though the bear in her movements trod on their legs aud feetj When she left the tent they franti cally climbed the nearest tree. She soou returned and remained so long that the men, whose only clothing was their shirts andj the night being bitterly eold, were nearly frozen. When sli3 again retired thejj' descended, lighted a fire, declaring thai they wouldn't freeze to death for all the bears iu the the mountain. Fortu nately bear did not visit the camp again.
