. Condensed from New York Tribune
,. Woucester, Sept. 11.
The Liberal Republican and Democratic
State Conventions in this city to-tlay, were
eminently successful, as political , gatlier
ins in every respect Numbers, enthusi
asm and harmouy are three points which
will insure suecess on such occasions, and
f rom uny and every joint of view it was
apparent to everybody in the city that the
Convention possessed these requisites.
There were nearly 000 delegates to tho Re
publican Convention, who completely filled
Washimrn Hall. In the Democratic Con
vention there were nearly 1,200 delegates.
The latter was the largest delegate conven
tion ever held by that party, and, in point
of unanimity and enthusiasm neither con
vention has ever been surpassed in this
State. Tho lion. P. W. Bird, of Walpole,
t ailed tho Convention to order, and in do
ing so said : We have left the Republican
pulty of Massachusetts and of the country
I localise that party has left its principles.
Loud applause. We propose to found
THIS GREAT 1'AltTY OF TnE FUTURE. .
which shall be true to the great principles
. of the Republican ' party . of the past,' and
which still more shall be true to the great
principles which shall ' promote 'the pros
lcrity of thin country in the future. Loud
HDDlause.l With undoubting faith in the
immediate triumph of those principles we
have entered upon this movement. That
triumnh in all its com
mpleteness may Joe de-
layed. ' We Know oniy wnai me auiy oi me
present hour is, and that is fidelity to our
earnest and honest convictions and such
service as we may be able to render to the
good cause to which we have devoted our

all of our energies will be taxed .to-day to

it is actuated ; by that sublime principle,
wiiich is so rarely represented in parties and
political relations of - men, of an absolute
peace and fraternal relations between all
parts i of the country,., Applause. The
cause of our opponent is a personal rela
tion to government, sustained by the spirit
of a military organization, regardless of the
will of the people, except so far as it may
be an organization against them, and used
to defeat their purposes. - With these -two
principles at stake in a country like ours,
and especially in a commonwealth like
Massachusetss, there can be no doubt as to
the ultimate result. Applause. I
am here to - co-operate heartily with every
one, from the heart, from the center out
ward, from the circumference inward with
anybody against anybody in favor of equal
rights of man, and the reconciliation of all
those clases who were involved in the trou
bles of the country heretofore. Applause.
So long as the- contest is sincere for the
maintenance of these principles, so long,
before God, I will fight , with any anybody
against anybody who is in the opposition.
Applause. When 40,000,000 of people,
representing all classes, all parties, all sec
tions, upon their judgment voluntarily come
forward and make, before the people and
before God, the recognition of these great
pripciples for which we have been strug
gling, and ask to be received, I am in fa
vor of reconciliation and will join in it.
Applause. " ..
Of the triumph in North Carolina he said :
And they had a triumph in North Carolina.
It was a triumph, because in an unexpected
degree the suffrages of the people were with
us, when our opponents supposed they were
to be defeated to predict riot bloodshed,
and murder as the result. -
, The General tells what he saw in Maine :
And when I accepted their invitation to
visit Maine, I supposed my eyes would be
hold an accustomed spectacle. But I saw
what I never saw before what no man has
ever Been presented to the people of this coun
try. , I saw that the Government was rep
resented by . its chief executive officers, sup
plied by more of what are called the sinews
of war than were ever given to any individ
uals any where in any election. I saw this
power organized with a precision that par
took rather of the nature of a conspiracy
against public opinion than of the represen
tation of the question at issue. Applause.
A platform warmly indorsing Mr. Gree
ley, criticising the present Administration,
exceedingly complimentary to Mr.' Sumner,
touching judiciously on the labor question,
condemning the inefficiency of the Admin
istration party in regard to the enforcement
of the Proldbitory law, and also taking an
advanced position oft Woman Suffrage, was
adopted amid great applause. A Commit
tee of Conference, with Mr. Bird as Chair
man, was appointed.
" Uf THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION-,
the lion. Edward Avery presided, and
made an address showing the. position of
the Democrotic party oi Massachusetts m
this crisis, which was enthusiastically ap
plauded throughout. . The points of Mr.
Avery's speech concerning the maintenance
of political consistency in the nomination of
Greeley and Brown were received with
special favor, ann at the close of his re
marks he enjoyed the most enthusiastic de
monstration of approval. '
The usual committees were appointed,
Mr. Dunham of Pittsneld . being Chairman
of the Conference Committee. There was
some discussion on the question of having
separate Democratic headquarters in Bos
ton, which question was decided in the neg
ative, and on the Conference Committee,
which was enlarged from 11 to 15 mem
bers, but there was no special excitement
The two Conference Committees paid re
peated visits to the Conventions, the Demo
cratic Committee opening the ball by calling
on the Liberal Republicans, getting a warm
greeting, and announcing that the Demo
crats were ready to receive any communi
cation from the Liberals. Mr. Bird and his
Committee (Liberals) . afterward visited
the Democratic Convention and had a
hearty reception, and all of the visits were
of a most cordial nature. Early in the af-
tcrnoon me iiepuuucan uonvcnuon cause a
Btate Central Committee, and gentlemen to
call different Conventions. The Democrats
adopted a platform of two resolutions, one
indorsing the declarations of principles pro
claimed at Cincinnati and approved at
Baltimore, and the other commending then
candidates to the people.
At 3J the Conference Committees agreed
upon a list of candidates for the various
oitices, and reported to their Conventions
as follows: ;
. For -Elector9 Chester W. " Chapin of
Springfield, P. W. Bird of Walpole.
For Governor Charles Sumner.
. Lieutenant Governor George M. Stearns
of Chicopee. : ' '
. Secretary of State Geo. II, JIunroe, of

was a scene in either hall which beggars de

were used, or in any way alluded to,' it was
the signal for applause of the wildest, and
most extravagant nature, - and when the
name of Charles Sumner was mentioned in
both halls at the same tune, the delegates
rose en masse, hats were waved, and cheer
after cheer rent the air, till it seemed as
though the building would be loosened
from its foundations. - -The .demonstration
lasted for some time, and the whole ticket
called forth the heartiest enthusiasm. After
it had subsided a motion was made, in the
Republican Convention to adjourn to the
upper hall, and when they entered there
was another wild scene of enthusiasm.
Speeches were made by Gen Banks, if. VV.,
j O'Connor of boutn Uarouna, ana otners. . ,
The nroceedings. were closed by a lorn
and forcible speech by P. W. O'Connor, of
BOUtil Carolina, wuu reyicncu vjtiujj.i. a
ministration in its results at home and
abroad, and showed that the South was in
earnest for reconciliation ' and a perfect
peace under Jlorace ,Greeley. He was
loudly applauded, and -when ne had con
cluded the delegates departed for their
homes, well satisfied with the work which
they had accomplished. . ' " " -
The State Central Committees were em
powered to fill any vacancies In the ticket,
should they occur. Whether Mr. Sumner
will accept does not appear to be definitely
known, but it is generally beiieved that the
wishes of his friends as thus expressed will
be acceptable to him. : f; 1

Wilmington as a Commercial Empo
rium. : The Battleboro Adtance of yesterday, al-
luding to Wilmington as the chief commer-
cial citJ tne State and tne advantages to
be derived by the business men of that and
other sections in bringing their produce to
our market and purchasing their supplies
from bur merchants, very truthfully says:
"As a market for naval stores and cotton it
is equal to any in the country and, being
our chief commercial city, it should be pat-
ronized by our people. As a grocery mar-
.ket, especially for molasses and salt, it is
said to be superior( to any other. Parties
in this section who shipped cotton - to Wil
mington last season obtained prices equal
to those obtained in the Northern markets.
The merchants appeal to the merchants and
farmers of this section to give them a trial
and they guarantee to do; at least, as well
for them as can be done outside the State.
They do not ask for patronage at any sac
rifice on the part of North Carolina, but
they do reasonably claim,' where equal ad
vantages arc offered, that we should en
courage our home market, for, in building
up Wilmingtdm we are helping North Caro

selves." - .-.,-,.., . . .
A Lively Encounter Between tws Sea

Last night, about half past 8 o'clock,
difficulty occurred in front of the Seamen's

collected and the younger of the two was
giving his antagonist, who was quite an old
man, a severe drubbing, when the police
were attracted by the cries of the latter,
who was shouting murder. : Officers Harris,
Allen, Howe and Sherwood hastened to the
scene and succeeded after some difficulty
m arresting uotn parties ana carrying
them . to the . Guard House. The old

The Washington Campaign Patriot.
: We take pleasure in calling attention to
this excellent Campaign paper, which is the
Organ of the National Democratic and
Conservative parties, and published at the
National Capital. ; '
.The price of the Weekly is only $2 per
; .annum,; To clubs of six or more only $1
50 per annum, while for the campaign, or
four months, it is furnished to clubs of six,
or upwards, for a small sum of Jrfty cents.
It has thirty-two columns of carefully
selected reading matter, embracing edi
torials, the latest political' and domestic
news; and, besides, has correct market re
ports and miscellaneous news.
. We bespeak for it a liberal patronage;
for, as our only representative party organ
at the National Capital, it should be in every
Democratic and Conservative household, as
its cheapness brings it within the reach of
even the poorest. Make up your clubs and
send your lists in. It
New Revenue Regulations.
After the 30th of September Collectors of
Internal Revenue will be held' responsible
for the collection of penalties, and Super
visors will be instructed to frequently ex
amine the lists, with the view of enforcing
the collection. The practice has been for
Collectors to use their, .discretion; but they
are informed that in all instances the duty
is obligatory and must be rigidly enforced.
The First Comptroller has decided that
powers of attorney and other evidences of
authority to collect interest, or to enclose
drafts or checks executed on and after the
1st of October, need not be stamped.
Gaugers are to be instructed to brand
beer kegs with the denomination of the
stamp required in place of their . capacity.
The Internal Revenue Bureau holds that for
all practical purposes a keg containing less
than the pretended capacity must be stamp
ed the same as if it was a full package.
Arrest of an Ex-Sheriff of Bladen.
We learn from parties who arrived on the
W., C. & R R. R," yesterday afternoon,
that the Grand Jury of the Superior Court
of Bladen, now in session atElizabethtown,
have found true bills against ex-Sheriff
Eldridge, of that county, and a man by the
name of Hammond, living at Rosendale,
for complicity in a robbery that occurred
some time since. The parties were arrested
and carried to Elizabethtown, but Ham
mond succeeded in making his escape.
Eldridge, at last ' accounts, was in the
Sheriffs office under guard. His trial, wo
learn, was to have come off on Thursday.
As a matter of justice we would state that
Eldridge's friends are confident that he will
be able to prove his innocence.
The Capo Fear.
At last accounts received by the steamer
MurcTuson, the river was still very low." She
left here on Saturday last and did not reach
Fayetteville until the following Tuesday, it
having been necessary to haul her over the
different shoals, which took - considerable
time. She started on the down trip on
Wednesday and arrived here yesterday
morning, meeting with less difficulty, partly
on account of not being so heavily laden.
There was a heavy rain up the river on
Thursday, which no doubt made a material
improvement in the amount of water and it
is hoped that in a few days the river -will be
started f or TTayetteville yesterday afternoon
and it was not anticipated that she would
have much trouble in reaching her destina
tion. ! -
Heavy Rain Yesterday. "
The universal desire for rain, so often ex
pressed, in this latitude for a week or two
past, was fully gratified yesterday. It fell
in torrents during the greater part of the
afternoon, ' flooding the streets and side
walks and making it anything but pleasant
to those whose business called them out of
doors. On the wharves, in some instances,
the water was forced into .the . stores to a
considerable depth. .The storm was accom
panied by thunder and lightning, but there
was very litttle wind. At the present writ
ing there is every indication of another in-
stalmenti -

So much having been said as to

Ashe addressed him a letter on the
subject. The correspondence is pub

to-day. : It will be seen that Merri
mon will contest the election if suffi

he seems to entertain no doubt. What
becomes of the boasts of the silly
Radical sheets which said the Judge
would not contest ?
Below we publish the correspond

CORRESPONDENCE. '
Raleigh, Sept. 12th, 1872.
. My Dear Sir: As much has been
said with reference to contesting the
result of our late election, and as pur
political friends feel a deep interest I
in tne matter, l take tne iioerxy oi re- i
questing you to to state your purpose
in the premises, with tne view of hav
ing your reply published for general
information. 1
Very respectfully, yours &crr
S. A. ASHE.
Hox. A. S. Merrimon, i
Raleigh, N. C. ,
' . . ' , i -
, Raleigh, Sept. 12th, 1872. 1 ,
My Dear Sir: Your letter of to-
day inquiring whether it is my f pur
pose to contest the late election - for
Governor at the approaching - session
of the General Assembly, or not, has
just been handed to me. - V '-
When in May last I accepted the
nomination for Governor made by the
Greensboro Convention, I became the
candidate of a great party , and such
other citizens as might choose to honor
me with. their votes for that hich
office, and thereby grave duties were
devolved upon me. Not ; the least
among them was that of 'securing sto
the State and those who voted for me,
the lawful fruits of the ballot box.'
I am satisfied by a great variety of
facts and circumstances that have
come to my knowledge, and by incon
trovertible evidence already in the
possession of the Executive Commit
tees, that enormous frauds were per
petrated at the election, . and that
great numbers ; of illegal .vo tes were
cast against me and the other candi
dates associated with me on the Democratic-Conservative
ticket for - State
offices. I sincerely believe that we
each received a majority of the law
ful votes cast; but whether those who
j perpetrated these frauds directly and
mdirectly, did it so artfully as to
avoid, complete legal detection Re
main to be seen. ' - ' '- :, '' ?
I would not think' of - the grave
step of contesting the election upon
slight or captious grounds," or to
gratify party caprice; but if there is
substantial ground for doing so and
I believe there is-
and it can be made
to appear according to law, then if
tne people aemana it, in wm d my
duty, and I will add, my pleasure to
contest it, and I shall do so at the in-
stance of the people. ' If, on the other
hand, in the opiSpn offriends com-
petent'to ludge of such matters, suf-
ncient prooi oi irauos aciuauy per
petrated,' cannot be made, to, contest
successfully, I will not attempt a f ruit
L3ss undertaldng. I do not desire to
engage in an unavailing controversy,
and 1 am sure the people do not. :
But I have the most abundant in-
' 1 formation , to satisfy me, , that tne
j great body of the people throughout
the State who supported me and those
associated "with me, believe such gross
frauds were perpetrated and desire
that such contest shall be made, if
sufficient proof can be produced to
make it successful not otherwise. '
So that if it turns out upon the ex
amination now being made by my
friends through the Executive Com
mittees, that substantial ' ground for
contest can be establisbed, l will con
test the election' and vindicate the
rights of the people, and as I believe,
the best interests of the State and
country, by so doing, to the utmost of
my capacity and to the last extremity.
: I wall riot do anything . rashly . or
unadvisedly, or to gratify party spirit
of or political revenge: I will
everything that is just and lawful
establish the right!
. I believe this is the spirit and deter
mination of - my! associates i on our
State ticket. : '-'y'y --'-KJ.
I am, &c., very truly yours, '
