The Star nays that of the three political elements in thi8 State, it is a mservativc journal. We have no denire to dispute ita xvord. Its tjor-servaiisuj, iioirever, tuners trom I , .uhuh. that of the ('onservative people of this i 3,1 lK10tllc ttou crop was 100,000 State. The Conservative party of:"i,a,es' iu 18;0 ifc was 4.500 (KKJ. It Vorth Caroliua recoiruize no "bVtt.-r was because the lalor system of the uan, politically, tnsn senator Thur- luau, and they have nodenunciatiom for "Thurman t Oj.," such as the Starh&B made. The Conservatives of North Carolina do not stigmatize the gallant light of the Democrats of Ohio as '-the stupidist of blunders," nor are they prepared to echo the sentiments of Senator Morton, of Indiana, the most vindictive and illiberal Radical of that 1 Kxly, as cruelly refined by our neigh bor, that the Democrats of Ohio had ' 'gone to the Catacombs or Mound builders for their candidate." The Jocbnats Conservatism has in ither denunciations of, or faults to tWid with, the Ohio Democrats. Their candidates, their canvass, and above a':l, their pulitoal principles, are ac- ptable to us, and wo heartily rejoice at the success of "Thnrman's infatua lion," of their "stnpid blunders," of thr ir "Catacomb or Mound-builder can di.l.ite" for Governor, and of their sound and statesman-like declaration oi' principles. Everything connected v.ith the canvass, so far as it is known nns, from the meeting of the nomi i iti'.ip; Convention in August to the ulorious victory in October, is just as i t' would have it. The difference between the Conser vatism of the .Torr.XAT. and of the Star i-- tonally H.-t plainly demonstrated i loin :tuother declaration of our neigh l . r. In reply to our inquiry an to vvhai would have been the course of the Shir had it been published in ;hio that aper replied : "Had we been in Ohio we would have advocated the nomination of a coalition ticket; but if, after the ran- i vnss opened, we had become satisfied i hat the onlv hope of defeating Noves was in the support of Allen, we would j unquestionably have supported Allen." ! Had we been in Ohio we would have : South and "West have enriched the advocated the nomination of a Demo- j manufacturing North, cratie ticket; but if, after the canvass The important and reliable facts opened, we had become satisfied that j bearing on the question are the figures t lie only hope of defeating Noyes was j of the last census, which we find in in the support of Collins, the coalition ; the St. Eoni HrpnLlican, and which candidate, we would unquestionably j we present here : " This census in have supported Collins. j forms us that there were 5,922,471 Here we have a distinct statement of persons engaged in agriculture in the the difference between the JontxAT. j United States, and 2,053,993 engaged and the Star. From its standpoint it j in manufacturing of all kinds ; that went into the support of Mr. Greeley the capital invested in agriculture, in ns a matter of preference and princi- j eluding the value of farms, farming pie ; we gave him our support as a ! implements and live stock on hand, matter of policy, "satisfied that it was the only hope of defeating" Grant. We do not propose in the future to make another such egregious blunder. Another difference between the Con servatism of the JofKx.vt. and Star is that our neighbor, while claiming al!e giance to the Conservative party is , capital of the country is less than one working for its dismemberment. We i fifth its agricultural capital. But when ilosire to cement and add to the ; we come to products and profits, the strength of the party ; we want to con tinue the fight under its banners, and under the principles which the Nation al Democrat of Ohio and the Conser vatives of Virginia and North Caroliua. have enunciated in their party plat forms. "In coalition and rc-aligu-ment"', the Star alone recognizes "the " salvation of Constitutionalism and " the re-establishment of executive aud admiuistrativr honesty." By a stead fast adherence to principle, and by boldly maintaining our present line of battle, do we find hope for Coustitu tixual liberty and honesty in the ad ministration of the government. We believe that the restoration of the Democratic party to tiower, of which : tho Ohio election furnishes a hope, j ""ill achieve these very things. In speaking of this great victory, that leading Whig paper of the olden time, as it is now one of ablest of the Dem ocratic papers of the North, the New York frrpreax, says : "The moral of such an election is " upon the side of hope, reform, and " yet indicates the restoration of that " old Bourbon Democracy created by " Jefferson and revived by Jackson, " which its worst enemies, however " Federal in their ideas, will admit " means honesty in public life, integ '' rity of character, thorough devotion " to the country, a limitation of Fed " Pt al power, jealousy of the rights of " the people and States, ami a 6trict " const ruction of the Constitution. " But few will object to the revival of " a party like this, or if they don't ' like the name of Democracy, of ideas j like these." I Muli sentiments will find endorse ii f-nt from the Democrats of Ohio and 1 he Conservatives of North Carolina. "Honesty in public life, integrity of character, thorough devotion to the i country, a limitation of Federal power, j jealousy of the rights of the people I and States and a strict construction of 1 ($3,2f4,01 1,585) from the gross raanu the Constitution" are the political faetnring product (84,232,325,442), we tenets upon which the Southern white I have 8908,313,857 as the net profit on people desire to see victories won. ; Coalitions to remedv local trriev- ! nnees. as in California nnd Tow will 1 uflord present and needed relief, and , we trust will bring alout a better con dition of affairs, but in the great prin ciples upon which the Ohio fight was won, and upon which the canvasses in New York and Virginia are- being con- lueted, dowv "recognize the salvation i constitutionalism and the re-establishment of executive and administra tive honesty."

The result of the late war would have long trembled in the balance had Southern industry been based upon the principles of the North ern system. The principles and pro cesses of Lowell and his associates will never be fullv carried out until our raw material is manufactured on the ground where it is produced. Had our raw material beeu turned into fabrics at home and sold to the eonsnmers in America and t-xported abroad, says the Augusta Chronice and Sentinel, there would not be much trembling in the balance about the result of the war. The victory for the South would be permanent, but not more startling and decisive, so far as the engagements were concerned, than when Stonewall Jackson fell like a thunder-bolt uidou this same General Banks and General Shields and routed their armies in the Valley of Virginia. No, there would be no trembling, no doubt about the refciilt of the late con test had tho South manufactured as j well as produced cotton. But it is i encouraging to know that Gen. Banks V V U tii. VJ-J A AAA 'AA illUU llllv KUIU j will yet develop her greatest industries j when the manufacturers of JNew Eug- : land and of the conntry locate here, j where the greatest profits can be real j ized. On this subject of "Agricultural and ! Manufacturing Profits," Hon. .T. Proc tor Knott, of Kentucky, has delivered a speech which deserves more than passing attention Irom the striding contrasts which he presents of the flt realized by the manufactt 1 . -Ax i in comparison with tne producer. tnrer The whole story is that the agricultural was $11,124, 858,705, and the total cap ital invested in manufacturing was .2.118.208.796. It will be noticed I that the number of persons engaged iu manufacturing is only about one-third the number engaged in agri culture, and that the manufacturing j smaller interest goes far ahead of the hirtrer ones. The total value of all farm t j productions, including betterments ; and additions to stock, was 2,117, 538,i5S, and the total value of the mau i ufactnrhig product of the country was 1,232,325, 142 -the gross product of the smaller interest being nearly twice as ' great in value as the gross product of the larger one. If we divide the whole ; amount of agricultural, capital by the ! total number of persons engaged in ag i riculture, we have an average of 1,878 to each, and if we divide the value of the gross product of agriculture by the total number of persons engaged ; in that business, we lind that each person thus engaged tn an average of 1,878 capital produced 412 of gross values. By a similar, com putation we find that the average capital to each person engaged in manufacturing was $1,211, and iiiat each person thus engaged on this aver age amount of capital produced 848. The labor aud capital of a farmer, therefore, yielded less than half as much as the labor and capital of a manufac turer. The census figures do not tell us what the net profits of agriculture were, but it will not. be claimed that they were over ten per cent, on the capital involved. Indeed, if we esti mate a farm hand's labor at 15 per month and his board at 10 per month, both together costing $300 a year, and deduct this from the average annual product (412) of each person engaged in agriculture, we have 112 as the farmer's average net profit on the labor of his hired liamls- or only a nttie over 6 per cent, on his average capital of 1,878. The profits of the manu facturing capitalist are more easily ar,A more accurately determined. Ad- ding together the total amount paid for raw materials (2.488,427,242) and tho total amount paid in wages ($775,584,343;, and deducting the sum a total mauufaeturing capital of 2,118,208,79o or or r forty-fire per cent. And it is this business, paying an average of 4. per cent, per anuum. that is "protected" by the Government at the expense of another business that pays onlv 0 per cent. "A very interesting phase of this subject is the largo proportion of the manufacturing capitalist's profit in the average gross product of his employe. We have seeu that the average gross product of the agricultural laborer is 412 on an average capital of 81,8 1 8, and that the estimated share of this which the agricultural employer gets is 112, and we have seen that the average net product of the manufac turing lalxirer is 848 on an average capital of i?o1K Dividing the total j mauufaeturing wages paid (775,584,- 343) by the total number of persons employed in manufaeturing(2,053,996), we find the average annual wages per Till y- II m lij.iu to be 78, ami deducting this : from tin; AVemrvM rrrrms uroditrt cf nncli I ; - . ....

But we need not go abrord for com parisons or results where we have the evidences at home before our eyes in the large profits made by every factory in the South for the last seven years. GOOD ADVICE. In these times of business depression and consequent stringency in the money market, the financial situation can be improved if every one will pay promptly his little bills. The Phila delphia Lcdycr puts ifc in this way : "However small the amount, pay it at once ; tl e party t ) whom it is due nisiy be waiting for it to enable him to make up the requisite amount to pay a much larger sum. There is no estimating the good that may result from the pay men, of a single dollar. As often as once in a week every one incurring little debts should overhaul his ac couais and make special efforts to pay all, or as many of them aspossible. No one should postpotie payment from mere indifference. Nothing will so soon and so effectually remedy the difficulties experienced from want of currency as this, and it is a remedy that will cost little of effort and no in convf liience. On the contrary, there will follow the liveliest satisfaction to all, to those who pay as well as to those who receive. Keeder, look to it in vour own e:ne. From the At nnra lleral.l. Ht K T HK.4SS HI TIOXS AKD iii k-f it iti:i: iii-.s. The inr'u r .!n! ruul lias a long and powerful double-leaded editorial on the political situation, which editorial is evoked by the late astonishing Demo-ri-atie victory in Ohio. Mr. Watterson says there m scarcely a piece of sound political argument which does not point squarely to the conclusion that a liberalizing of the Democratic party will, aud alone will, conduce to its triumph. Yt, though all theory points this way. the practice of this theory has invariably proved disastrous, and its exact converse (that is,) the tightening ior Bourbonzing) of Democratic lii:es, alone has ever ef fected really serious opposition to the Administration, or gained a victory for the anti-Kadieal minority. Our past bellnm history is full of examples showing this. The Greeley combina tion met with the most disastrous de feat almost ever known in our politics. And vet Ohio which, under the "Lib eral" contest, gave Grant 37,500 on a straight Bourlnm fight, gave the Dem ocrats 1,200 majority, and that, too, with a Liberal candidate in the field. Mr. Watterson concludes that while theory is a good thing in politics, as in all otlier tilings, still actual results should not be overruled, and when con tinually recurring adverse to theory should be obeyed. Hence, the ('ourU r-Jaurnut, which was of all journals in America the most prominent and effective Greeley advo cate, and always an extreme Liberal (if we may be allowed the expression), an nounces its return to the Bourlxm De mocracy jis the only party which, or for the next lour years, will be able, .vith avy show of strength, to combat Grant's intention on the third term, and subsc quentlv on the dictatorship of the re public.

According to our reaJing of history, Mr. Jefferson was as broad iu his political teae-hiug as Mr. Lin coln, and we know nothing in the ca reer of Gen. Grant which entitles him to be considered a better patriot or a more progressive statesman tkvn Gen. Jackson.

We shall see what we shall see. These are suggestions merely. We mean to review the signs of the times, and not to lay down terms or give advice. For tbe moment, the superficial aspects of the situation are against us, and it costs U3 nothing to make them as plain to our readers as they are to ourselves. We have at all times looked to some thing higher and larger and nobler than party lines and party names, whicn have never been of much concern to us. We now look only to the means of defeating ( I rant for a third term; we are ready to make any and every sacri fice to accomplish that ; we are ready to follow Thurman as sincerely as we followed Schnrz, albeit we like Thur man less; anel, if we succeed, we shall be content to come off without glory or reward. It is tho substance, the resto ration of the national spirit, the re-establishment of sectional fellowship and sympathies, the material and moral emancipation of the South, that we look to exclusively.

Next in order came the reading of the statistical reports of the different Presbyteries composing the Synod of North Carolina. These reports were read by Rev. J. B. Mack, Assistant Secretary, and, on motion, received by the Synod. The Secretary was directed to read the narrative oi the reports of the committees from tho different Presby teries in the State. It was moved aud seconded that the report of Rev. Mr. Johnson, Agent of Foreign Missions, be sulnnitted with the report of the Agent for Sustenta tion. The motion was carried. Rev.

Mr. Mcllwaine, that gentle man was requested by the Moderator to come forward and address the meeting npoj the subject of Sustenta tion. Mr. Mcllwaine responded to this invitation in a clear, concise, and ela bo-ate argument in favor of contri butions from the different Presbyteries for the purpose of carrying out the in tentions of the church in establishing the board of Sustentation. He closed this part of his address by an eloquent appeal to the church to come forward and render the assistance that was needed to those who had spent their bst days in its service, and who wt.re t ow. by reason of old age or il. health, incapacitated work iu the service of for further j God.

Jic ftohcd, That the Synod urge all our Ministers to instruct their congre gations aunuslly in the duties of con secrating their property to God and of worshipping Him with the first fruits of their increase. Jiesotred, That the Synod recom mend the worshipping of God by re ligious constitutions in all our Church es on every Sabbath when they have service, and the adoption of some plan of giving, designed to reach every church member. The above resolutions were passed almost unanimously, and the following resolution, which was offered at the same time, after eliciting considerable debate, was finally laid upon the table in order to make way for an address from Rev. Mr Mcllwaine upon the subject of foreign missions:' Jinsolrcsl, That in the opinion of this Synod no Christian should con tribute less than oue-tenth of the yearly proceeds of his labor and capi tal to pious objects, and that many should give a far larger proportion. Mr. Mcllwaine, in his attractive style of speaking, gave quite an interesting account of the workiugs of the Board of Foreign Missions, together with the tavorable accounts received from their Missionaries abroad. His purpose in addressing the Synod upon this sub ject was to let them know of the good work in progress in foreign countries, and also to urge upon the different Presbyteries here represented the im pertance of their aid bv contributions i in pushing forwar 1 f;ti!l further the gressing. ihe reverend crentj concluded his remarks by returning tnanks to the Juolerator and brethren of the Synod for their patient atten tion in listening to him.

Rev. Mr. Dai ton. Agent for Davidson College1, t hen addressed theSynod for the purpose of enlisting the sympathy and interest of the members present in the prosperity oi this institution.

Ii had received some handsome dona tions in tho prist and am- g them was a gift from Mr. Chambers, prior to thc war, of s0,000. They now disired to raise a 'fund of10;(Mt and he had been rash enough 'to undertake the task of doing it. He was happy to say that iu the past few months he had been fortunate enough to raise the sum of 12,0iH) and he now ap pealed to the brethren of this Synod to contribute something to an institu tion that had done so much for the Presbyterian Church. As an eviilcnee of this fact he would state that one fourth of the graduates had become Ministers of the Church and one-third of the student now at Union '1 hec- iogieal Seminary in Virginia v. ere I graauate-s ol Davidson College.

McGilvary gavequiie auintcvesl ing and graphic account of the coun try iu which he had been lal Miring in the cause ot Christianity fr so many years, us well also of .the manners anel customs of the Siamese oeople, among whom his lot had been cast. The name of Siam, by a sad misnomer, means the land of the free. It his also been called the land of the White Eltfihaiit. Bancoe-k is the principal city in the kingdom, and contains about 400,000 inhabitants: this city has been called the Venice of tiie East. There are four large livers that iiow throughout the emipire and which water the whole country. Ihe gov ernment is that of an absolute1 mo narchy, and the crown is her- ilitary. The present ruler is superior to h:s preelecessor and does not retard the course oi Cliri.-.tiauity. In speaking e)f tiie manners and customs of the Siamese, the lecturer stated that it was nothing uncommon, 50 years iigo, te see some of tho inhabitants in a state of ainiest perfect nueliry, but now it was quite different, as they hael adopted, to some extent, the European fashion of wearing clothes. The male portion of the inhabrauts cou'.el near ly all of them reael, while with the fe males this accomplishment was very rare. Tlie language which is spoken is a very difficult one for au aelult to learn. It is a very peculiar language, as one word reems to express four or five elifferent meanings, owing to the tone or emphasis which is given to the word when spoken. Tlie relig on there i- buouusm; it recosruizes no- Creator; it is a seirt of atheism. Polygamy exists there to an alarm ing eitent, the youmr King himself lias at h ast 1()0 wives. The lecturer here siok" oi the eil'eets of Christi anity upon some; of the natives and I the means by which they were con verted.

About 10 o'clock last night the jury had agreed, but it was after 11 before all the counsel could be found. At that hour His Honor took his seat, the jury being in the box.

Ho woiilel certainly have convicted Dave Martin. Upon tho whole, it wc gratifying to see and know that in a case of such impor tance, involving such elelicate relations between the white and black race, that a jury of black men had rendered a verdict according to evidence and ac cording to law. This verdict presents a striking contrast to one just ren dered in auother State, involving sim- i ilctr imnortant consenuenceai tr tlmm. Here, a jury of twelve negroes prob- aWy a majority of them unable to real or write, give such a verdict There, a jury of a different race white meu edncated men no doubt had rendered a verthct in violation of es tablished and provetl facts, so declar ed by the Judge on the bench, and so acknowledged by an outraged pnbho sentiment a verdict in violation of the law and tho facts. So much for the eliffereuce of justice as administer ed in North Carolina and New York. His nonor regarded this fact as worthy the calm consideration of statesmen and law makers. I ignorance shoukl be recoguized Honest while intelligent vice should bo scorned. The community had no reason to fear so long as men were governed by their convictions of what was right. He would not thank them for what they had done; no one should be t hanked for doing their simple duty. He had uo doubt that a jury of whito men, under similar evidence, would feclings of race or cast. It certain! v presented feod for reflection. , Tlu?
