The evidences of good:. feeling de veloped by the Centennial season are highly gratifying and augur well for a clean sweeping off of the' old boards and a return of the days when party ism did not ' mean the array of one section as a section against another, j Among the latest of these signs of renewed amity are the comments of some of -the Northern fpress 'on the " recent speech of ex-President Davis at Houston. The Ne w York TWtnecalla it "an extremely sensible speech," and. adds that it "has had an excellent effect at the North."

The initiatory ex ercises of the celebration began at noon in Independence Square, the site of the old court house where the Convention sat. A flsg-pole 115 feet high, crowned by a hor nets' nest, had been raised on the spot, and the' American flag' was hoisted amidst Ja salute of the Richmond . Howitzers. . A succession J of i terrific t shouts and yells greeted : the 'ascension of the flag. The Newbern band played Gaston's immortal song, 4The Old North State.7 . A very large crowd were'gathered on the streets and 1 in the balconies and windows. Gay ' banners fluttered everywhere; ' On the stand were Gov; C. H. Brogden; Col. Wm, Johnston, Mayor of Charlotte; Dr; Joseph Graham, Chairman of the Centennial Executive Committee.. ; " ' Mayor Johnston said in introducing the exercises, that the first blood spilled in the Revolution was shed in the war of the Reg ulators in Alamance in 1T71. Other -Revo- repeated, and the glory pf the great Decla ration, which they were about to commem orate, was gracefully and briefly alluded to.' ; Gov.3rogdeh spoke about fifteen ' min utes, andwas repeatedly interrupted with cheers; , " He said1 the principles of liberty enunciated! by' the fathers of the revolution ohe hnndredyeara ago, onj the spot upon which fhe- stood,' Would live throughout all ime: Here, as fi-ee American citizens; they ha4 procraiined Uie principles wnich'Korth Carolina t has ever ! since upheld, ' and of which this glorious flag, which waves pro- tection to American citizens on land and Water,; was' the1 star-gemmed type.

Here she stands to-day on this august festi val in the impressive fullness of her m idest dignity, rejoicing in the honest fame of her sous who ' brightly r illustrated her annals,, and she has come off with a true mother's unfailing affection to aid in imparting ad ditionalforee of perpetuity to their mem-, bries and to stretch , forth her venerable hand . to reillume the fires they once kindled here;" and to impart new .impulse to ther principles for which they lived and suffered and for which manv of them died in battle She meets here with gladness, and greets with a most cordial ' welcome -those from, other States who have - come up to rejoice with her sons on this great day, and whilst she claims for herself and her offspring the heritage which belongs ! to them, 'she has not one word to otter In derogation of the just claims of others ; to share with her in iue glorious uauiuons anu niswrica ac cords of the past. 1 Such influences as actu ated Our North Carolina - forefathers are of divine origin and cannot be confined to very limited localities.". ., ; J. Jf;-.',;: , ' Tbe spirit of God would ripen the na tions to the accomplsihment of His own inscrutable, but wise purposes. The orator argued that? in reference to the great np heavings of political communities; which have marked the history of onr race,; they have been the. fruits of a spirit working mightily at one and the same time , in dif- ferent latitudes and. upon; different people. The love of liberty was handed down to us from Rritisk. ancestors, arid wherever, the decendanta of the Puritans, tbe - Cavaliers of the Scotch-Irish were to be found, there likewise was to be seen in its .full efficacy this ennobling sentimenL Of this spirit of liberty, Judge Kerr held up as a conspicu ous example the action. of Cornelius Har nett, J ohn Ashe, Hugh Waddell and others, ia resisting the Stamp Act Our ancestors always subordinated loyalty to liberty. Re ferring again to Harnett,; he spoke of Jo siah Quincy's visit to Wilmington's patriot at his beautiful residence of Hilton. Quin cy was on his way from Boston to Charles ton. to,confer. with, leading characters on 'the reroluUon,ary side at Charlestom fiaya Via Harriett he found amaaot soul.con-s genial with his own a, true andtdauntlesa patriot naujr lur service in uie cummun cause, ;iA ; an ypPsitiPn which might be assigned hint; Harnett was but a type ' of the men of.
