Whilst there is a great deal of talk among Radicals as to the claims of Grants Sherman, Blaine, Conkling and Erarts to Jhe nomination for the Presidency, the . Democrats; are not disturbing themselves with- prema ture discussions as to the merits of their own men. They are biding their time, and at the right moment will 'select tne proper person, we must hope, who -will be strong enough to win. I The Democrats will doubtless be able to unite harmoniously, and every , element of strength will be fused into ah opposition that will be victorious. ! The Democrats have not failed to learn wisdom from the lessons of the late elections. But for the want of necessary organization they would have carried several States in which Radicals made gains of members of Congress. The Greenback mania was used successfully in many dis tricts by the Radicals, and many De mocrats were inveigled into ? a j coop eration with them that did them no good and strengthened the enemy. ' We feel assured that in the great fight of 1880, and it will be a great fight, that the overwhelming opposi tion now known to exist to the Radi cal party, will be to a very great ex tent solidified, and that a patiiot and statesman will be chosen by the suf frages of the people to the chair of the Chief Executive of the Union. Whether he will come from the North or Northwest it is how idle to speculate. That he will be an able j and pure man we cannot doubt, and 1 that he will be elected by a' large majority we hope and believe. In saying this we are not forgetful of the various sources of strength upon which Radicalism relies. ? The Democrats will have in all probabiH- ty the prestige or ttrant, oacked up by a hundred thousand hungry office holders, by the money power, by a; suDsiaizea ana venal press, by the Federal authority used for unlawful; purposes, by tens ; of thousands" sub-marshals and other bulldozers, by fraud and trickery and rascality made .. desperate by poverty these and other devilish agencies will all have to be met and overcome. The battle,- therefore, must be fierce and sharp, and there must be unity of purpose and the utmost harmony of action With good leadership we can win the day. , , The r legislation of Congress may have a great deal to do in either strengthening" or weakening our chances. If our representatives are wary and prudent, they can give an immense impetus to the; cause of peace and reform and offer a guaran tee of success-," Whilst Democrats in vanos fiections may -differ on many minor points," they are 'agreed ?tbat civil liberty, the peace and prosperity . of the country, and the conservation of republican institutions) all depend upon the driving of Radicalism from powerV In this knowledge and agree merit they will unite for victory leaving for tfther times the settlement of questions of finance and tariff, and great projects of improvement; Without boa8tfalness,fte Survey ing the whole field j after seeing ..that. I Radicalism has a majority . at this time in but nine of the thirty-eight States, we may claim that the chances are altogether in favor of the Demo crats. With a hearty purpose to push on to victory, led by men of broad views and high resolve, we can enter the campaign with more confidence of success than we did in 1876, when the Democratic candidates were elected by nearly three hundred thou sand majority of the popular vote, and by more than,., twenty electoral majority. But there "f 'must be good organization and a plenty of dawn right bard work. It must not be a holiday campaign in which windy speeches and sonorous rhetoric are to be the chief reliance. Speeches and editorial discussions are good in their place, but judicious, thorough discip line and well directed efforts are ab solutely essential to success. . . OUR WISCONSIN CORRESPONDENT I We publish an interesting letter this morniug from a native North Carolinian now resident in Wiscon sin. The statistics he gives concern ing the educational progress of that new and rapidly growing State are instructive and astonishing. Our people might- consider some of the facts he offers with profit. A State that pays in one year nearly two mil lion and a quarter dollars for educa tional purposes must bo expected to advance rapidly on the highway of progress. The reference to our revolutionary history will be interesting to many. We are glad to have anything from the pen of ex-Gov. Swain concerning our , early estate history. Whilst we have great respect for the memory of the distinguished gentleman who so long presided over the University of North Carolina, and know how well informed he was concerning North Carolina matters, we cannot accept his judgment as conclusive in the matter of the 20th of May - De claration. We believe the weight of evidence is overwhelming as to the fact of a Declaration at Charlotte on the 20th of May, 1775. But as we stated in the Stab some months ago, we have never been able" to satisfy ourselves as to the genuineness of the document which we now -possess. We, in other words, do not doubt the fact that the people of Charlotte actually met on the 20th, and had read a paper, the sentiments of which were equivalent in all re spects to a Declaration, but that we now have the exact language of the Declaration the ipsissima verba we have doubted. What Gov. Swain says about the Davie copy is impor tant. , We Lave arrived at our convictions after reading everything thus far published on the subject. We once held hat there had been no Declara tion on the 20th, but a more careful examination satisfied us fully that there was a meeting held and a highly inflammatory document was read and adopted. TUB SOUTH CAROLINA VOTE. The New York Herald recently published 'four columns of a defence of South Carolina drawn from Demo cratic sources." Mr? 'Cbhnbr, the De mocrat elected f romCharieston,shows that the Democrats increased the fa cilities of the colored people for vo ting, and greatly lessened the chances for committing If raud, and that his opponent, Mackey, was defeated without counting the vote of Charles ton, about which he makes such an ado. Mr. O'Connor has nothing to say about "tissue ballots," and the charges are not contradicted. The Philadelphia Times thus - remarks upon the silence and other points: "Throwing out this fraudulent vote Mr O'Connor may have been elected, and doubtless was, but if there were such frauds his party is properly held responsible for them and. accordingly condemned. From Bainey's district, from which Richardson was returned elected, the reports are more conclusive and satisfactory. The Repub lican Circuit Judge, in a very dispassion ate letter, concedes the fair defeat of the candidate of his party, gives fi;ood reasons why be and many other Republicans voted and worked against him, and bears testi mony to the fact that there was an honest election, a fair election, and no violence.' There is - nothing reported from Smalls's District. ' As we have often said, so we repeat,we hope a thorough inquiry will be instituted and the "bottom facts" arrived at. The Dem ocrats cannot afford to defend frauds of any kind. Their r, best .cards are .1 ... 'f-' Kli-SL-J-..- me rascality and trauqs pi tne Kadi cal party, and they cannot wink at or coudoneany assaults upon the right of suffrage and a pure ballot. When bouth Carolina has been li terallv scrubbed with a fine tooth combj? we hope an equal scroti will be appiietfto Philadelphia, tabbing Newi York;and Massachusetts.
