This should not be a Charlotte or Meek leriburg celebration any more than the glory of the Declaration is con--ied to this-town and county. It ia the pride of both Carolinas and all who love liberty everywhere. He spoke of the attempts which had been made to rob the State of the credit of the first movement to rid America of the tyranny of George the.

No Director knew anything on any subject connected with the Compa ny's financial operations at this time, though one or two of them seem to have known en6ugh to enable them to speculate in the Company's stocks. Astonishing ignorance! They all seem! to nave entrusted toe wnole busiress to :' the. operating manager, . - the President. .

Seven hun. dred! thousand; dollars was paid to somebody for votes yes, .votes! Who got this" money? As yet only one poor sinner's wings are scorched, thos of a Mr. King elected last fall to Congress f-rorn one of the New York districts. ' King, who was postmaster of the House of Representatives was aei)l in placing llo.UUU or IMS I morjey "where it would do the most good." King swore last sumraer tbat . not h, dollar passed through his hands on a-ccount of this subsidy. "With all tlLat is proven or believed capable of proof will the next Congress receive Mr. W. S.

This opihion is just like Mr. Stephens. He U8t is generally behind everybody else in r i u views.

Tliey mastered, him during the- war, and they have, since the be ginning of this Louisiana business ab6ut which he seems so uneasy, led him to eudore the Williams-Grant policy of " blood and iron."

They propose to do it over next Wednesday, hoping for better results for their cause. Col. Bennett made a strong speech shjiwing the impolicy and danger of the proposed movement. Thus it is feeen that an important county in the southern part of the State, if ' not out and out opposed' to the prop- osition, is not as yet in favor of. it not i . . miTi 1 aissensions in tne party, jluw vu- ; and probably will not soon be a unit jn favor of holding a Convention to rhnr t.h nnnatit.nt.inn.

THE ALDINE, An illustrated monthly journal, universally admitted . to be the handsomest periodical in the world. : A representative and champion i of American taste. i i " ! . ' NOT FOR SALE IN BOOK OR NEWS STORES ' . . j . - TBS ALDINE, WHILE ISSUED WITH ALL THE regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and graceful lit erature, and a collection of pictures, the rarest spec imens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends; the real value and beauty of THE AL DINE will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the close of the y ear. W hile other pub lications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar Class, THE ALDINE is a unique and original conception alone and unap proached absolutely without competition- in price or character. The possessor of a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and en gravings in any shape or number of volumes, for ten times its cost, and then there are the chrnioc besides 1 1 . j ART DEPARTilENT. 187 I The illustrations of 1J1K ALDINE have wen a world-wide reputation, and in the art centres ef Eu rope it is an admitted fact that its wood cuts are ex amples of the highest perfection ever ati ained. i The common prejudice in favor of " steel-plates," is rap idly yielding to a more educated and discriminating ' taste which recognizes the advantages of superior artistic quality with greater .facility of production. The wood-cuts ef THE ALDINE possess all the del icacy and elaborate hnish of the most eostly steil plate, while they afford a better rendering of the ar -let's original. . ! v f To fully realize the wonderful .work which iTUB ALDINE is doh-g for the cause of art culture in America, it is only necessary to consider the cost 10 the people of any -other! decent representations i the productions of great painters.- t In addition to designs by the members of the Na tional Academy, and other noted American artists, THR AI.TIINR will rc.nmdnre examules of the beet foreign masters, selected with a view to the higUctt nrtistio. Riira'.p.Ra HnH frre&teftt general interest, i 1'hUS artistic success and the subscriber to THE ALDINE will, at a trifling cost, en joy in his own home the pleasure and renn mg , influences or true art. ! , L . The quarterly tinted Jplates for 1874 will be by Thos. Moran and J. D. Woodward. i The Christmas iseue for 1874 will contain special designs appropriate to ths season, by our best artisi s, and will surpass in attractions any of its, predeces Bors S i - . ! PREMIUMS FOR 1874: 1 Every subscriber to TUB ALDINE for the year 1874 will receive a pair of chromos. The original pictures were painted iin oil foi the publishers ef THE ALDINE by Thomas Moran, whose great Col orado picture was purchased by Congress for ten thousand dollars. The subjects were chosen to rep resent '-The East" and "The West." One is a view in The White Mountains, New Hampshire; the other gives The Cliffs, of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature of the scenes themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good disDlav of the artist's scoue and coloring. The chro mos are each worked from thirty distinct plates, ai.O are in size (12x16) and Appearance exact f ac-Biuiiies of the originals. -The presentation of a worthy ample of America's greatest landscape painter to u.v . subscribers of TUEuAU)lNE was a bold but pecu liarly happy idea, and its successful realization i as tested by the following testimonial, over the signa ture of Mr. Moran himself: Newark, N.
