' We have denounced Swepson from the 1st March, 1872, the day the Raleigh News started until the present time. The Sentinel commenc ed to denounce him when Swepson dunned Tubner on the little debt he had contracted jwith that individual. When Turner) did not return that money the $5,000 that Swepson let him have to buy the Sentinel with, he either "couli not orwould not pay - 4t-fce then tijrned upon Swepson the vials of -his! wrath and impaled him without miercy. To this day he has not paid back the money which his benefactor and friend, the swind ler, let him hayie with which to buy Sentinel. The j&entinel owes it still. The Sentinel is feorjND for it now. The Sentinel has been run by Ring money. Jo Turner got the Ring money from Swepson, and he has not yet cancelled the obligation. He did not pay- Swepson, and ' when he failed to pay him he turned his back upon him and commenced his war fare. - : . : j:-- ' And yet Swepson's man Jo his the unbrided audacity, impudence and shamelessness, to charge others with being in the Swepson Ring ! Convicted out of his own Mouth. Soon after Stone & TJzzell re ceived the Public Printing last De cember, the Editor of the Sentinel said in his paper that he was " mor ally certain from the first that the News was run by . the . Tom Scott Ring; and now be was sure of it." ' Iu tbe same paper he said he had refused to sell or lease the Sentinel to the Ring on auy. terms though, frej- , "Why did hot the Sentinel denounce the News before it got the printing ? The Editor was , " morally certain from the first" that ours was a Ring paper and yet I he permitted this ! Ring paper to be run before his eyes , from the first of March, 1872, until j thelSth of December, 1872 nearly m months without saying a single word against it. Me had the infor 'niation locked up in his bosom he was "morally certain" we were run by Tom Scott and yet-he did not expose us until we got the Public Printing ! Not only that, but. the Sentinel ac tually welcomed the Daily News when it first appeared. , It hailed us , a co-laborer in the same cause with itself. It wished us success and pros perity. It extended us the right hand of fellowship although the Editor was morally certain that we I were in the Tom Scott Ring ! - The Sentinel not only welcomed us, but remained on the most friendly terms with us until it lost the printing. Not tfnly that, but several weeks af tarthe Daily News was established, Josiah Turner, Jr., addressed a note to Jordan ' Stone, asking him for a conference at his, Turner's , room, number 25, at the Yarboro House. Then and there Josiah Turner offered to least the Sentinel to Jordan Stone one of the Pro prietors of the Raleigh News "the Tom Scott papdr " and Turner was Mmorrally certain" of it then! Turner told Stone he could not sell he had not the power to do that, but that he would lease the Sentinel for a term of years to him. Turner T says this conversation was: in reply to a letter from Jordan Stone on the subject. That may be; but our letter was written sometime before we leflWeldon. Turner cannot denyfthat after we established the tfOLY News he wrote the note to us as above stated, and said he was wil " ling to lease to Jordan Stone. He says the News is in the Bu ford Ring;. that he was morally certain of it from the first, and yet he agreed to lease the Sentinel to the Managing Editor of the Ring paper ! For months after we received the printing he charged us with being - run by Bupord. And then, as if in the very madness of desperation and recklessness, he would occasionally change his tone and charge that the ; paper was run by Dr. Hawkins, President of the j Raleigh & Gaston -' .Railroad. Oh !. consistency ! j As most of our readers know, Bu ford's Road and the Raleigh & Gas ton are diametrically opposed to each other, and represent conflicting interests, Turner charges first one, and then the other with running our paper. And he never lies ! He never1 told an untruth inj his life! JVerily, a second George Vashington lags upon the stage, to show to all the world a paragon of veracity ! If our paper is in the interest of the Penn sylvania Central, how can it be in the interest of the j Raleigh & Gaston Road? He is thus convicted out of , his mouth. , 1 Can It Be True? It is said that Josiah Turner, J R, advised raids on certain citizens in Alamance and Orange ,by the Ku- Klux, and that these letters are now in existence in his own hand-writing, in a state of preservation. Will Tur ner deny this?" ' -1 V:" tC', After getting these Kii KLlux into trouble, he then shamefully deserted them by writing the LSTorwoodr An derson letter, in which it was threat ened that if the Legislature did not deal fairly with Mr. Turner about the Public Printing, certain members of the Legislature, Turner's friends, would vote against amnesty to the KKlux the men that Turner got into tronble by his advice. ; ;- Was there ever a baser desertion ? How can any Jiohofable, decent man respect Turner a(fter this dis gracefulldisclosure ? Is such a map a fit representative of the Conservative party ? : The Consolidation Bill. The Railroad Consolidation Bill naasAd the Senate on Friday, with sundry amendmente, and Will cowUgJ up in the House at an early day. This isj one of the mcft important measures that will come before the Legislature. It is "a great State meas ure, and for that reason shoujld not be made to discriminate against any section or locality. The Senate has endeavored to so guard t that it will operate injuriously upon none, and if any amendments are adopted in the House, they should! look - in the same direction. j In a matter of so much importance it behooves the representatives of the people to act with caution, discretion and deliberation. There should be no captious opposition to any feature of the bill, from any quarter. The people of the West' ask for the con solidation proposed in this scheme, as the most feasible plap yet offered to give them a Railroad, pheir wishes and interests ought to be respected, but no discriminations against other sections should be made. H. A. Gudg-er, Esq., of Madison . -The Sentinel of the 6th inst. said that the gentleman whose name heads this article, attempted in the Conservative caucus on j Wednesday nigh't to impeach the decision of the previous caucus, by insisting that there was no nomination for Public Printer, because the Editor of the Sentinel had not received a two-; thirds vote of the cancusj , The Sen tinel added .that Mr. Gcdoeb was told that the Editor of. the Sentinel had not only been nominated by a two-thirds vote, but that his nomi nation was unanimous. ;.j -".This is false. Mr. Gudger did not Insist on the two-thirds rule or make any remarks to that effect. - : At the first caucus on the subject called by Mr.. Turner's Jfriends,, six teen Conservatives were absent. A " motion was made to get ah expression of the preference of the Conserva tives as to whom the Committee on Public Printing should award the contract. Mr. Jones ; Watson, of Chapel Hill, from Turner's county, got up and made an appeal in behalf of Turner and he was 'followed by Senator Nicholson," frbm Iredell, who after stating all the sacrifices and services Turner had rendered the party in the past, claimed that the Public Printing was due ! him because he lost $3,001) ' by fhis contract of 1870-71. We under stand Mr. Nicholson spoke kindly of the Proprietors of the News, but claimed that Turner ought to be re-imbursed for the money he had lost by underbidding. There was no" speech made for the News and a ballot was taken ter the conclusion of Mr. Nicholson's remarks. Mr. Turner received forty-two Votes ; Stone & Uzzell thirty-six, and Messrs. Engelhard & i Saunders two the latter beingscatiering votes. So that Turner received- a .majority of only four after the H rculcsan ef forts of his friends and himself. A friend of the News, moved that the votebe made unanimous under the impression that Turner iiad received the nomination. 1 : A point was afterwards raised that this was nonomination that accord' ingio the rule adopted by the Con servatives last winterin the Senato rial eleetion, it was necessary for the caucus candidateto recieve forty-nine votes, or a majority of the Conserva- tiyes of the Legislature that, Tcf- ner having only received; forty-two, he was not really nominated, and his nomination was made unanimous under a wrong impression. . In the Senatorial election,- the can didates were required to j get forty nine votes a majority of i the whole number present, and as this rule has not been repealed, many hold that it governs all nominations until it is rescinded. . ' " . -' . Because Mr. Gudger has been op posed to giving the Public Printing to the Editor of the Sentinel, that paper is anxious to find some excuse to attack him. ,Mr Guikjer's oppo sitiou has been open and above board. ' r ,' " V- ..- ' As Chairman of the House branch of Committee on Printing he signed the contract last year with Stone & Uzrell, and that was enough for him to ineurthe SmtineVn '-.'displeasure.' ' - . -;;.:;v ' When Mr. Gudger came to Ral eigh last winter, he came as the friend of the Sentinel, and was strong for that paper for the Public Print ing. He did not know either of the Editorsor Proprietors of the Raleigh News had never seen one of them, and was not even a subscriber to their piper. He regarded: the Senti nel as the organ of the party the News being a new paper, only nine months of age, was scarcely known to him at all. ' I Mgg-HMB HpTf III I I mi ' But when the Sentinel bolted when it refused to support Governor Vance after his nomination for Sen atorwhen it looked on from day to day at the exciting ' contest which was pending last winter, and , de clined to take any part to heal the breach In the party, or to advocate the claims of Gov. Vance as the caucus nominee, then Mr. Gudger resolved that be would not support the Senti nel for the printing. He could no longer recognize that paper as the organ of the party. After the con tract was signed, then the Sentinel commenced . through its editorials and a series of communications from Orange and elsewhere, to attack the motives of the Committee, the Con servatives of the Legislature, and everybody and everything, that did not knuckle to its insane, selfish mo tives. Its articles and communica tions impeached the motives of the Committee, and he dared one of tbem, Senator Waring, to meet him before ids constituents in Charlotte, at an appointment made by Turner him self. Mr. Waring's course, after speeches by Turner and Warinm, was unanimously endorsed by a vote of the meeting, and Turner return ed home with several fleas in his ear. It was about this time he wrote the Anderson-Norwood letter, to get the contract for printing undone. Mr. Gudger had ample cause for declining to go for the Sentinel for Public Printer, when that paper, failed of its duty on the Senatorial question. When the Sentinel attack ed the Coinmitteeon Printing, last wiuter, Mr. Gudger arose in his seat and stated that he ha 1 no regrets for his course; that he believed he had done right in giving his vote for the News in Committee, and that he would do the same again.under simi lar circumstances. He denounced the insinuations against him and the other members, and said they were unworthy of notice. The other Conservatives on the Committee who voted for the News, acted from the same motives with Mr. Gudger. They believed that the Sentinel had forfeited its claim to the printing by its course towards the nominee of the party, and they acted as true, consistent, faithful Conservatives. - Turner as a Disorgranizer A Pre- . cious Document. Jjast winter when Gov. Vance was nominated for United States Senator by the Conservative party, the Senti nel, although the then recognized or gan, did not in its euitorial columns come to his support. We will prove before we get through with Turner that he was instrumental in causing Gov. Vance's defeat.. "We shall show that during the struggle, when thir teen Conservatives Heclmed to sup port the caucus nominee and by holding the .balance : of power, pre vented an. election for several days, the Sentinel published communica tions justifying their action and containing attacks on the caucus, and that that paper uttered not a word in favor of Gov. Vance's claims as the nominee of the party. We shall, in our next, trace the course of the Sentinei from the day Gov. Vance was nominated until ho was defeated, and will show all that TuRNERsaid himself and all that he published from others on that memorable Senatorial contest. We shall also show how some of the bolters in the Senate attempted to get the printing for the Sentinel after the contract was made last wiuter, and how one of them denounced the News because, to use his language, "itfcaine grumbling over Governor Vance's defeat." ' Before doing this, we ask the read er's attention to the following extracts from TURNER'S PETITION FOR PAR ; .. DON. ' This petition was made after the close of the war, on the 29th day of August, 1865, and the oath is taken before A (J. iMuRDOCK, Commissioner. The document covers thirty-five pages of legal cap paper. If our spalfce would allow, we would publish it in full- but" we will publish from time to time ihprder to show the character of the man who aspires to lead the Con servative party in North Carolina. The petition is addressed to An drew Johnson. President of the J United States. As -the eharnfler. a the document sneaks for itself, no comment on that point is necessary , . It has beeithe duty of all good men in NorthCarolina, since the close of the war, tobury, as far as possible, their old prejudices and party animosities, in a common effort to keep the State from the hands or tho Radicals. No good can come out the attempt to excite odium against oldline Whigsorold line Democrats, for what they did before or during the war. 1 - But a few days ago, the Sentinel pub lished a conversation between Mr. Turner and his devoted friend and admirer, Dr. J. T. LEACH,of Johnson county, in which the latter referred to fighting the secession Democracy for bringing on the war. And the Sentinel published a communication from the same Dr. Leach last win r, that if the fight-was to be made against the Radicals under the name of Democrats, to count him out, that he hadas soon be called a Republican as a Democrat,' - j Now, we ask the Conservative par ty of Sorth Carolina, old Whigs as well as old Democrats we confess we know no distinction between them what can be t thought of the man who will .give utterance, several months after the close of the war to such an Indictment as the following, contained in Josiah Turner, Jr's petition to Andrew Johnson for pardon: , State of North Carolina, , r Orange County. To the President of the United States , The netition of Josiah Turner. Jr., of the; county and State afore said, asking tne oenent or your excel lency's r amnesty proclamation, and stating that he was a private in the Confederate army in 1861, and was subsequently a Captain of cavalry. In 1863 he was elected a member of the Confederate Congress. And now. having stated ail tnat is required, he proposes (and in it he is encouraged Dy tne example oi owersi to induhre in a few reflections and observations upon the late Demo cratic rebellion, an undertaking, he admits, of great delicacy, for ir be fails to give the true causes he becomes ridiculous. If he should give the causes that led to the rebellion, it will come so near persons of weight and consequence, that they, with their host of followers, will be angered at the exposure of their errors, rather than thankful for the occasion of cor recting them. - I now State, and will endeavor to make good, the ' assertion that the doctrines and teachings or thomas Jefferson, as laid down in his reso lutions of 1798-'99, and practiced by his followers in iwhkoI, wereneitner constitutional or patriotic. Though the)clvil war from whichjwe havejust4 emerged. It was inevitable, Jeffer- j son s principles ana party nau to de stroy tne uonsutution, or me jon stitution had to destroy Jefferson's principles and the Jeffersonian de mocracy, mey couia not exist in concora together. After sixty years dispute and rour vears war. Jefferson's principles are destroyed by!the Constitution and buried in abloody grave. - Secession could not cancel the deed which South Carolina had made to the United States, for Fort Sumpter,so she interposed for the Fort on the of April, 1861, through the agencj of Edmund Ruffin, who was a Virginia Democrat and firm believ er in the resolution or s-y. I can find no justification or excuse lor the negotiation and agreement between the President of the United States and the Governor of North Carolina, as is shown by the following correspondence to put off the war pending Mr. Buchan- an's administration ana tnrow it a w'q oHmimat.rfit.inn Jinr upon Mr. Lincoln's administration, Tne Hon. Wm. Ashe and other Democrats determined to take the forts in North Carolina ; they caused them to be seized and occupied by North Carolina troops ' which acts produced the following correspon dence: Here follows the correspondence in full between Gov. Ellis and Mr Holt, Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of War aa interim, in regard to tne North Carolina Forts, on which Mr. Turner comments in terms of de nunciation of Gov. ELLIS' letter characterizing it as arrogant and un warranted. He says Junius would call this correspondence the extreme of faction and the last degree of polit ical wickedness. He then continues.! Who but Democracy have Kept the public mind disturbed with projects on foot to endanger the con cord of the Union ? Who but De mocracy composed the Nashville Convention for disunion in 1844? Twenty years ago theHon. aham W. Yen able could be ted to Conirress from North Caro- a and. continued there uttering tne ntlment that he oiped no allegiance the United State, but to North Carolina. By such Democratic teach ers have the people been alienated from their duty as citizens, and from , the natural a flection for the govern ment of the United States. I The National Democracy generally looked upon Hamilton and George the Third through the same glass. I never heard a Demo crat denounce King George, but I venture there is not one Democrat on the continent who has not held up Hamilton and his principles in odious colors to the people. Yet HAMiLTON'sprinciples were the prin ciples of Washington and Chief Justice Marshall. Now that the idol of State Sovereignty, so long worshipped by Democracy, is thrown down, and her temples desecrated, the same party will not be slow in erecting altars to Federal Sovereignty, sacrificing to Hamilton instead of to Jefferson. I heard a distinguished member of the Provisional Congress that met in Montgomery say there was no man in that Congress who expected a gun would be fired, because of secession. The truth is the Democratic faction had become stronger than the Gov ernment.theparty flattered itself that Democracy was necessary to the sup port of all law, order and government everything that tended to the sup port of the party was sanctified and become a part of the government and public interest. They thought all practices lawful for party. They could stand John Brown's raid and the passage of personal liberty bills, but they: could not stand defeat in the Presidential election. That is the weak point in all.elec tive government, if they can stand elections they can stand anything and are the strongest forms of govern ment. I have called this a Democratic Rebellion :; it was pre-eminently so in North Caroina. Secession here in 1860, was begun neither by nor be- fore the people, -but by a DemoxjratkLJiWe saw a day or two ago a hickory Governor and a Democratic Igisla-q cane once the property of Andrew lure assembled at the ranifol. . But few Democrats in the South' will take this view of the origin of the war, because of the self condem nation which follows. They attri bute the war to "President Lincoln and the black Republican party," as t iey called it. Many union , Democrats of the South who stood : upon the resolu tions of 1798-'99, voted for Brecken ridge, the secession candidate, and even taught secession, now say the war was brought about by "slave holders by the . siaveoeracy." By these false means they think to ab solve themselves from the"guilt of their party. I cast my lot with the South not because I justified or approved their action, but I had to do that or do worse. Men must often do what that they do not approve in order to avoid a worse evil. The Sentinel has been charging for sometime that it has a witness Who will swear he saw Dr. Hawkins hand one of the Proprietors of the News five hundred dollars. But the Sentinel takes care to conceal the name of its informant. We dare the Editor to name him ! If there is such a being, he must be of a very aban doned character that the Sentinel Is ashamed to give his name. When Its witness is named, he will be some contemptible fellow1 of bad character.
