, Wilmingtonjshould have : not less than
two Democratic clubs. One should be
composed of tlie old. men ; and the other,
. of the -young -men. , These clubs are- pro
ductive of much good in a political cam
paign. " They keep up the enthusiasm, and
they do the wbrk so essential to success.
Clubs of youn men are especially impor
tant. They are composed of the strong,
the vigorous and the energetic. The young
, men shrink from no labor no perform-
: ance of duty however onerous. They are
brimful of life, fire and enthusiasm. We
call on them to fall into line. The great
struggle for Soiuthern freedom is about to
commence, j Gen. Grant heads the enemy's
columns. The young men of the South
have fought Grant's legions before, but
then we fought against fearful odds. Now,
we have not only principle but numbers
, on our side, anji we have only to bring up
our reserves; jan d the day is ours.
The pending canvass is "an important
one. If successful in November, the Dem

Says it suspects jthe present style h will not

breeches and white stockings, it is diffi
cult for a man lo look, like a gentleman at
all, or. like anything bat a footman in an
inferior suit of di very. The point to be
considered is'.jf the present fashion be
abandoned, what is to be the nature of the
change ? The -fStandard thinks that there
vtfould be no-difliculty in devising some re
spectable costume for Court occasions free
from the; objections to the present rig. As
it is, large numbers of gentlemen never go
' into the presenjee of the sovereign because
they have. pot he courage to appear in the
masquerade prescribed tor them, which "is
condemned oajevery side as ugly, incon
venient, and fall of ignoble associations.

In the House, the Speaker gave notice of
his intention to exclude all reporters who
used the word " negro" to designate the
colored members, as they considered such
an appellation a pei'sonal insult. J
Mr. Abbott, from the Select Committee
on Disabilitses, having asked instructions
whether theirfunctiomr are restricted to
the mere question of admitting; to seats
persons banned by the 14tli Article, or
whether their powers extend to the inves
tigation of the special cases, Mr. Seymdur
moyied to instruct the committee to Confine
their report to the general question "wheth
er members elect, banned by the Howard
amendment, are disqualified from taking
their seats," which was agreed to.
" Mr. Pou offered absolution requesting
the Congress of the Uuited States, now, to
remove from all citizens of this State the
political disabilities imposed, by the 14th
Article of the Federal Constitution, and
that properly authenticated copies of the
resolution be immediately forwarded to
the preying oflicer of the United States
Senate and to the Speaker of the United
States House of Representatives. '
Messrs. Pou and Sinclair addressed the
House in support ot the resolution.
Mr. Abbott opposed the resolution, and
in the course of debate declared, that Mr.
Sinclair " had sent his baggage over to the
Conservatives and he had better follow it.'
After some remarks from Mr. S., Mr. Ab-f
bott resumed, saying that until he saw1,
some signs of repentance and good fruits
of loyalty, he would suffer his right arm to
drop off, and bis tongue to cleave to his
mouth, before he would flinch from his
position in this matter. The resolution
was a step towards debauching the politics
of the State and taking the power from
the hands, of the Republicans.

Dear Star : Your correspondent has
failed to send you his usual budget from
Wake Court House solely un account of
absence. I have this morning returned
from a flying trip through the Western
portion of our State, where I have been on
' oflicial business," but now that I have
returned I hope to be able to give you an
"occasional" in the way ofstirriug up, the
dry bonds of Radicalism and carpet-bag-gery.
I've not yet gotten my hands on the

light on the inside workings oi the ring in
a few days: ;
Raleigh is crowded with office-holders
and office-seekers. Political cesspool con
siderably muddled on the Senatorship.
Holden, though not a candidate, is the
strongest man for U. S. Senator. He can
get the vote of the eutire conservative wing
of the Legislature, who would much pre
fer hjm in "VVashington to - bis continuance
in Jfcdeigb. The Abbott and Sloan league"
has hung fire so long that there are some
doubts ot its success, although, as I be
fore stated, it was agreed that Sloan and
Abbott should have the Senate and young
Joseph William the Speakership. A strong
feeling has set in for Pool orDockery from
the East and General Judge Logan, of
Rutherfordton, from the West. There, is
a growing disposition among the more de
cent Radicals to abandon the Codfish ring
of carpet-baggers, hence the . latter ticket

Dockery Sr.'s election threatena death to

army and. navy," abolish ment of the Freedmeu's
Bureau; ..and of Inquisitorial taxation, reform
of abuses in office, and equal rights and pro
tection to naturalized and native-born citizens,
&c. The whole platform may profitably be
reread by all, as follows:
1 THE PLATFORM.
. The Democratic Party, in National, ConVt n
tion assembled, reposing its trust in the intel
ligence, patriotism and discriminating justice
of the people, standing upon the constitution
as the foundation and limitation of the powers
of the Government, and 'the guarantee of the
liberties of the citizens, , and recognizing the
questions of slavery and secesbiou as having
been settled foi: all time to come by the war,
or the voluntary action of the Southern States
in constitutional conventions assembled,, and
never to be renewed or reagitated, do, with
the return of peace demand:
First. Immediate restoration of all the States
to their rights in the Union, under the consti
tution, and of civil government to the Ameri-1
can people. - .' ',. " .
Second. Amnesty for all past political offen
ces and the regulation of the elective franchise
in the States by their citizens.
Third. Payment of the public debt of the
United States as rapidly , as .practicable ; all
moneys drawn from the people by taxation,
except so much as is requisite for the necessi-
. a i x . : ii J i .
ues oi .uie uovernmeni economically aumiii-
istered, being honestly applied for such pay-
ment: and where the obligations of the Gov
crnment do not expressly state upon their face.
Or the law under which they were issued dot s
not provide that they shall be paid in coin,
tucy ougut, in rigni anu m lus.ice, 10 ue pam
in the lawful money of the United States.
Fourth. Equal taxation of every species of
property according to its real value, including
bands-aud other public securities.
Fifth. One currency for, the goverment and
the people, the laborer and the officeholder,
the peusioner and the soldier, the producer
and the bondholder.
.Sixth, Economy in the administration of the
government; the reduction of the6tanding
army and navy ; the abolition of the freedmen's
bureau, and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy ; simplifies
tion of the system and discontinuance of in
quibitorial modes of assessing and collecting,
internal revenue, so that the burden of taxa
tion may be equalized and lessened, the credit
of the government -and the currency made
good ; the repeal of all enactments for enroll
ing the State militia into national forces in
time of peace, and a tariff for revenue upon
foreign iniports,.and such equal taxation under
tne internal revenue laws as win attord mci
dental protection to domestic manufactures,
and as will, without impairing the revenue,
impose the least ourueu upon ana best pro
mote and encourage the great industrial inter
ests of the country.
Seventh. Reform of abuses in the adminis
tration, expulsion of corrupt men from office
abrogation of useless offices ; the restoration
of rightful authority to, and the independence
of, the executive and judicial departments of
the Government; the subordination of the
military to the civil power, to the end that the
usurpations of Congress and the despotism of
the sword may cease
t Eighth. Equal rights and protection for
naturalized and native-born citizens ut home
and abroad, the assertion of American nation
ality which shall . command the respect of
foreign powers, and furnish an ; example and
encouragement to people struggling for na
tional integrity, constitutional liberty and in
dividual rights, and the maintenance of the
rights of naturalized citizens against the abso
lute doctrine of immutable allegiaoce, and the
claims of foreign powers to, punish them for
alleged crime committed beyond their juris
diction. .
In demanding these measures and reforms
we arraign the Radical party for its disregard
of right, and the uupuralleled oppression and
tyranny which have marked its career.
After the most solemn and unanimous
pledge of botbHouses of Congress to prose
cute the war exclusively for the maintenance
of the Government and ,the preservation of the
Union under the Constitution, it has repeat
edly violated that most sacred pledge, under
which alone was rallied that noble volunteer
army which carried our flag to victory.
Instead or restoring the Union, it has 6o far
as in its. power dissolved it, and subjected ten
States in time of profound peace to military
despotism and. negro supremacy. It has nulli
fied there the right of trial by jury; it has
abolished the habeas corpus, that most sacred
wnt of liberty ; it has overthrown the freedom
of speech and the press; It hasj substituted
arbitrary seizures and arrests and military
trials and secret star chamber inouisitions for
the constitutional tribunals; ittM& disregard
ed in time of peace tbe right of the people .to
be free from searches and seizures ; it has en
tered the post and telegraph offices, and even
the private rooms of individuals, and seized
their private papers and letters without any
snecific charge or notice of affidavit, as re-
fcqtiifed by the organic law ; it has converted
the American Capitol into a Bastile ; it has
established a system of spies and official espi
onage to which no constitutional monarchy of
Europe would now dare to resort; it has
abolished the right of appeal on important con
stitutional questions to the supreme judicial
tribunals, and threatens to curtail or destroy
its original jurisdiction, which is irrevocably
vested by the Constitution; while the learned
Chief Justice nas been subjected to the most
atrocious calumnies, merely because be would
not prostitute his nigh office to the support of
the false and partisan charges preferred against
the President. Its ' corruption and extrava
gance have exceeded anything, known in his
tory, and by Us frauds aod monopolies it has
nearly doubled the burden of the debt "created
ytheiwar.'It has stripped -the President of
This constitutional power of appointment even
oi nis own cabinet.' under its repeated as
saults the pillars of the Government are rock
ing on.iheir. base; and, should It succeed in No
vember next and inaugurate its President, we
will meet as a subjected and conquered people
amid the ruins of liberty and ther scattered
fragments of the Constitution. '
And we do declare and resolve that ever since
the oeoble of the United States threw riff all
subjection to j the British crown the privilege
and trust of suffrage have belonged to the sev
eral States, and have been granted, rciralated
land controlled exclusively by the political
power of each State respectively, and that anv
attempt by Congress, on anv" pretext what
ever,; to depriveany State of this right, or in
terfere with; its exercise, is a flaarant nan mo
tion of power which cannd.no warraat jn the

oniv bv bringing back the administration o
the governmeutto the time-honored principles
(on which,; for sixty years, there was such un-
na railed happiness and orospentyv, ana in res
cuing it from those who have ever held the
Constitution itself to be no better than
onvi.n.ini with l!lt.1t Mild mi flirrp.ellicnt With
khil,". whose revolutionary policy and meas
ures have brought such general discord, strife
and war, with the attendant ills, upon a large
portion of the country, and sueu wide-soread
demoralization throughout tne wuoie oi it.
Resolved. That the Democratic party in su
taiuirur the Federal administration in the late
aiiiiapoy conflict of arms did so in good faith,
with the hope and earnest wish to maintain
the Drincinles above set forth, aud with no
view of waging war on the part of the North
crn States in any, spirit ot oppression against
their brethren of tne South, nor for any pur
pose of conquest or subjugation, nor purpose
of overthrowing or interfering with the rights
or established Institutions ot the States, but to
defend and maintain the supremacy of the con
stitution., and to preserve the Union with all
the dignity, equality and rights of the several
States unimpaired. The subjugation of these
States, or the holding- of them as conquered
territory, would be In - the judgment of this
convention.' the destruction of the Uniou it
self. ' ' . - : ' , ;' - '
Resolved. That the highest meed of patriot
ism is due and should ever be rendered to all
those who. in the recent war periled life or for
tune for the mainenanee of tsie Union "Sfud the
beneficent system of American government
thereby established npon the fundamental
principles set forth in the foregoing resolu
tions; but we have neither thanks nor sympa
thv tor those who entered or carried on the
content for the subjugation of States or for the
subju nation bv Federal authority of the white
race in any of the "States to the dominion of
the blacks. The right of suffrage, or. who shall
exercise political power, is a matter that rests
under the constitution exclusively with the
several States; there it properly belongs, and
there it should continue ever to remain,
