The at titude and the purposes of the Den ocratic party were never more worthy of the hearty endorsement they have received.

With this exaltcel purpose in view, there is nothing . inconsistent with tlie houor and mauhood of a brave people to resolve to suffi r I with heroic patience, whatever ve their proveicatious and wrongs, looking through the fearful pret erit to a hopeful future, and repelling unjust, epithets and gratu- 1'nmillii with rlitrnitv and morler- at'ion Let every white man ia every : neighborhood in the whole South re - , gard himself as a com anssioner of the j peace, maintaining the kindest rela- ! tious towards tne oiacK man, remem j b irj that the responsibility for the extreme poverty to which we have been reduced,and the corrupt govern ment to which his vote has subjected us, rest not so much upon him ub upon the bad men who, with the assnrance of Federal suDDort. have.by appeals to his worst passions, sought to make I WILMINGTON, him our worst enemy. WhRe we labor by all honest means to convince him of the truth that onr . interest and his is identical, and that both must bo preserved by good government, and that those who c tir up strife between us are the enemies of both races, let u -, at the same time, see that he is fnlly protected in hi guaranteed right to vote as be pleases in all election.

Ex Governor Seymour spent several davs iu Washington recently, and on his way home to Utiea stopped for au evening in New York. Ho told friends wh: called upon him at his hot: 1 that the Rejmblicaa party iu Cougress seemed to be stricken with suicidal blimlness. Though it has fallen into disfavor iu the country, its managers have so lost th-ii heads that they per sist in doing everything that will in crease the popular distrust and elrive the party towards its elestructioii. There are a few wise men in the party in Congress, it is true, but they are as chips upon the furious torrent, atul have just about as much power to check its course. The Governor likens the party leaders to a demented man i determined upon suicide. They refuse to avail themselvea of a single oppor tunity to save the life of the party. Form il charges of dishonesty have been presented against Governor Tay lor, of Wisconsin, for alleged misde meanors while tie was piesident of the State Agricultural Society.

He gladly made thin statnien in justice not only to himself, bat tc Mr. Ennett, the author of tlie elispach, though he did not have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with that gentleman. r.

He cheerfully bore tes timony to the honor anel integrity of Maj. Ennett, who was his personal frienel. Mr. Moring then said that he had so understood the gentleman from Richmond at the time of that debate upon the bill aforesaid. Tlie l ury Hill. The following is the Usury Bill as it passed the House on Friday, just as it came from the Senate. It will go into effect thirty days from the date cf its ratification : Section 1.

Long before the hour of 12ye sterday, the appointed time for the discussion of the Glenn-Civil-Rights resolutions in the House.the galleries anel iobbies were rammed, jammetl and packeel, by an anxious crowed of spectators to witness the proceedings. Ladies thronged the left side cf the gallery; in fact we never witnessed such a gen eral outpouring in the Legislative halls before. We think the ladies were somewhat disappointed, as the time was princi pally occupied in the morninsr with dry, lengthy, Republican stump cam paign speeches, being only their same old last summer campaign songs, with slight variations. It is well known that these Republican candidates professed more hostility to Civil Rights than the Democratic party. They declared Congress would never I with the consciousness cf tlnty per pass the bill; that it would die iu tlie ' formed, r.nd receive the plaudit from House, etc.; thnt if it did pass they j would not support the party, eft, j This was the general cry, with few j exceptions, in all counties that had white majorities. The House did pa?s the Civil EigLti bill, and yet with two honorable exceptions in the House, ssj far, these gentlemen have failed to come to taw. After tho reading of the resolutions a substitute (mild, exceedingly mild iu its nature), was offered bv Mr. Oaksmith, who followed in a speech, j young Representative made a very in which he declared himself a good ; tine impression upon tho largo audi Democrat, .tc, but should vote hero- j euco. after according to the elietates of his !

The substitute was overwhelmingly defeated, only the white Rads votiLg for it and every negro voting again; t it. Tlie resolutions were then taken up, and Mr. Caudler took the floor. He first wanted te know why so much mterest was manifested in the Legis lature here to-day. Why it is that ladies throng the galleries, iiitd iob- ' bies, anel even the floor of the liout-e was so densely packe d ? Was it to witness this useless aud extravagent legislation, drawn by the txcitii,? re ports in tho D.dly News, er was b consider d of so much imtieu-fai'ti , .Vc.- In that flaming head the News re porter asks, "where now is Candler, who was elected by whit men," c. "I will say, here id Candler " Ho ihen proceeded to tell who Candler was; said that he represented as a Re publican on this floor ti Democratic constituency; that his people had con fidence in him, A:c., and he hael ttie nerve to stand up, even bef-are this large audience, and declare himself a Republican and in opposition to the i resolutions. He then procjeeled to leiterate, what we would reasonably suppose his campaign speech, Civil Rights, Horace Greeley and all, to have been. By way of variety, he proceeded to remark on somo points pleasing to the negroes, and was vociferously ap plauded. He said the colored Repre sentatives on this floor had beeu ig nored by the Democratic party; that it was a notorious fact that not a single bill introduced by a coloreel man had passed the House. Mr. Tate Wilt the gentlemau allow me to correct him? Mr. Caneller Cert einly.

He, however, never recovered from the shock, and a few minutes afterwards closeel hi3 speech. Mr. Trivett next followed. He said his position hero was that i of an "independent . He was elected upon the pledge that he woulel be. controlled by no party.

Tne next best was Mr. Norcn nt, who arese iu his seat with a basket of documents Democratic papers that had favorcel Civil Rights, ami Repub lican papers that hud opposed it. Ihen came legislative elocumeuts to show that a Democratic Legislature had favored it. He closed this part of his argument with his pet hobby, II raee Greel y anel Charles Sumner as Dem ocratic candidates. While on this subject the following colloquy en sueet : Mr. Pinnix Are you a Republi can ? Mr. Norment I am not. Mr. Pinnix They why are you al ways defending the Republican party and rasping the Democratic party V Mr. Norment Because alv, a;, s favor the riht, etc. Mr. Pinnix I would ask the gen tleman, if there was only a whdc man's party and black man's party in this State which would tie adopt ?

He offered i these resolutions, now under consider ation, in good faith, believing it was . not only due to his personal seli rospect, but a duty he owed his con stituency. Though he had been abused and villified for pursuing course he thought to be right, by the party he had belonged to, yet "he was here to say he would not take back ono syllable.
