THE SPIRIT OF PEACE.- We surrender most ol our editorial space to day t j copious extracts from our State exchanges, in fvv of the Amnesty Bill, which come up for action in the House to-iday. We have already published editorials lrom the Greeiit-Luso Patriot, Roanoke News, Enfield Tones, Uillsboro Reorder, and Battleboro Advance, in favor of the measure. It is highly probable that we may have overlooked the articles ol several of our contemporaries on the tub ject. It so, we will te pleased to make the correction. The Asheville Citizen str.mgly advo cates the Bill, but we have not its article in hum! on the subject. The people of North Carolina regard the Amnesty Bill as a mea&ure of peace and charity, and us belter calculated than anything which has yet been pro posed, to remove bitter prejudices, ani mosities and heart-burnings which have retarded the prosperity of the State, and kept alive passions and strife which must be extinguished before we can bave any permanent quietude and domestict ranquillity. The spirit of peace is abroad in the land. There has been enough of persecution and prosecution for political offences. Is it not time that all this should cease ? Is not time that party malice and vindictiveness be forgotten ? Is it not time to blot out bitter memories of wrongs and violence that had their origin in the demoralization conse quent upon a protracted civil war ? Is it not time to practice forgiveness, charity and mercy ? 13 it not time to devote ourselves, our services and our whole energios to the advancement of the true welfare and prosperity of North Carolina, and forgetful of the follies and crimes of the past, look forward to a brighter and better future and a hap pier destiny for our good old State ? WILL NORTH CAROLINA LESS MERCIFUL ? BE We make no apology to our readers for devoting our whole space to-day to tflhe question of Amnesty ; for this is the day fixed for the discussion of the Amnesty Bill in the House. . We ask the members of the Legisla ture to vote for it unanimously, without regard to party. The principle is right, and rises far above all party considera tions. lue UUI is non-partisan in its character. President Grant has recently expressed his. purpose to pardon very soon the Ku Klux convicts. Our Washington dispatches published yestepday, affirm that such is his determiniation. - 1 he House of Congress recently passed a law restoring the names of the o t ... ..- coumern survivors ot tne war 1812 to the pension rolls. Tht; Federal troops will in a few days be removed from most of the Southern States. We see daily manifested a more lib eral spirit on the part of the North towards the South. All evidences point to the fact, that bitterness and strife are giving way to more charitable feelings. Will the Nortn Carolina Legislature be less mercilul to their own people than Northern strangers ? President Grant will soon pardon the Ku Klux prisoners. Will the North Carolina Legislature exhibit more vindictiveness and malice han the National Administration ? TUB STATESVILLE INTELLl. We believe the Statesvillc Intelligen cer is the only Conservative paper in the State that has taken a position ic oppo sition to the Amnesty Bill now before the Legislature. That paper thinks the T!ll i a i i preseui u( is ioo unad in its provis ions and ought not to pass. The Intelligencer is one of the ablest and tiutst Conservative papers in the State, and its Editor, in his article on the Amnesty Bill is, we know, actuated by high, and patriotic motives. We think this is the first instance the Intelligencer and the News have differed on public measures, and we concede to our cotempcrary the same right we claim ouisekes in the expression oi opinion on all questions of a political charac ter. THE STATE PRESS ON AJttNES. TY. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Appeals For Clemency and Forgive bess. THE AMNESTY BILL PASS. SHOULD From the AVilmlngton Star. This great question of exhibiting mercy to those who nted mercy of re using to do a noble and generous act because party spite and party revenue are to be gratified thereby, must be tied in a short time. How will the House of Representatives decide on mercy's side or revenge's ? . Many parties, some no doubt entirely innocent, have been punished. Hun dreds fled the State. Proceedings have tcd in these transactions. The State ia Si "I thi9 -riW enforcement6 of ' Persecution and not justice NSw if?1 tice, soiled. Radical cartv . PPPents io the -J " .

We do, and yet we place our I a . ! - 1 I aavocacv or inis diu ou uiuci i around than party expediency x- we I place it on the ground of duty to I North Carolina. As long as old wounds I rankle, as long as terrors are held over I the heads of so many of our citizens, so I lon? will the material nrosDcrity of the I State be retarded, so long are bitterness I and agitation suffered to usurp the I places of amity and peace ; and tne old I State, crippled and faint with the I struggling, will fall behind her sisters. But we go higher. We make the ap peal in behalf of that humanity which weeps at unusual suffering, and would bind up the wounds of the past and bathe them in the cordial of present forgiven ss, forcetiulnees and good feeling. If theie has been deep sin on the part of some of these men, deeply have they been made to suffer ; and many were more sinned against than sinniny ; w niie many were innocent oi i . -I- any wroug. There should be amnesty, free, gen- I erous, tun, lor tne past, ine secret i order that, afforded pretext lor tne organization of the Ku Klux has been nut clown by legislative enactment. It can do no more barm. Its antagonist has been disbanded and many of the members punished severely. It also can do no more narm. jsotn peine dead, let the rash and bad acts of both be amnestied. From the Tarboro Enquirer, In our last we attempted to show the humanity, as well as public policy, in passing at once the general Amnesty bill now before our Legislature. We now propose to notice briefly the chief objections that has been brought for ward against it. It is urged that it can never be for the weal of the commonwealth: and the good of public policy to breakdown laws made lor tne prevention and sup pression of crime and permit the guilty to go unpunished. It is true that this should be the general rule, but our's is not the law of the Medes and Persians "that ch.ngeth not," but in every case 1 and in every onence due consider tion is I given in the execution of our law to the I passion under whose influence the act I was committed. The present Amnesty bill oners no pardon to the cold and de iberate violator of the law, it throws no veil of oblivion over the damning deeds of a wily midnight assassin, but in the spirit of mercy forgives the wrong-deer who was provoked to the commission ot his deed by strong passion and uncontrollable prejudice. It is said that Amnesty would but encourage deeds of violence and legalize wrong-doing. We are inclined to think this an error. There have been sufficient prosecutions of the Kuklux,etc, for the vindication of the law, a great terror produced among the secret clans, the violence of feeling has been assuaged. and the Amnesty bill at this time would produce such a feeling of relief that men would be slow to return to the disquiet of dark and evil deeds. Does any one think that society was injured by the Amnesty bill passed alter the late war i The same reason, perhaps stronger ones, exist for its passage now, and, with the precedents before us, we should expect nothing but good results from it. From the Goldsboro Messenger. Amnesty and pardon are words grate- lul to tne heart ol man. A bill to be entitled and act for amnesty and pardon for various criminal acts committed by political organizations since the war has passed the Senate branch of the General Assembly and is now before the House. We expressed our unreserved opinion of this bill a few days ago in the Messenger, and we recur to the subject to-day merely to express the hope that our political friends in the House of Com mons will stand firmly by each other in sustaining the measure and enacting it into a law. We make the appeal to our political friends solely on accout of the bitter partizan opposition to it displayed by the radical republicans. As we regard the bill under discussion, it is intended not so much to pardon the guilty as to protect the innocent. That some gudty wretch may escape just punishment may be an effect of the contemplated law ; but better infinite ly, better than that one innocent person should suffer unjustly. . We regret to see the question argued from a partizan stand point as has been done by every Radical Senator who has spoken on the subject. Professing them selves in favor of the principle of amnes ty, we cannot see their consistency in opposing this measure as thought it were purely a party question. The crimes alleged to have been committed were the offspring of the war and car nage which brought desolation and demoralization to almost every man's door. Union Leagues and Ku Klux it not equally guilty of murders and other uaroarous crimes have had certainly me uanus oi eacn oi mem stained with blood. But as our cruel war has receded from yiew, the bad passions which it engendered have proportionably subsided. Ku Klux is dead, though the Union Leagues are said still lo survive. But their cruel deeds are no longer heard oi nor seen. Peace and quiet every where reign in North Carolina. Let the misguided men of the past have pardon for the past, remembering that God is the Fathek MEN ARE BROTHERS. ' And if Radical Republicans will not so remember and act according p. I I 3 . L' I . i . . not Conserva ives and Demorrts imitate their example. They have the power to pass the bill by a party vote, and though thty would undoubtedly prefer not to have that necessity forced upon them, yet as the determination to make it a party question came from the other side, the issue ought to be equally met and the bill passed. From the Magnolia Advertiser. The bill was worthy the man who introduced it, and were it to be the last act of his political life, it would reflect the highest credit upon him as states man and patriot. It goes so far beyond the petty ties of meref partizanship ignoring all party ties and prejudice! and embracing all offenders, that we had not a doubt that it would pass the wcumc wimoui a dissenting voice, andH -ere more tuan surprised when we saw by the reports, that thi bill was made by the Republicans a party ' measure and opposed as such. The speeches' made by them would seem to indicate that no crimes had been committed in the State outside of those committed by the Ku Klux They very well know that some of the most atrocious outran m the criminal history ol the State have been perpetrated by membra r League, and that those crimes yet rc-f main nntn..j r m. - J ,L I -r ne murder of the Miller family, the Foscue family, the Nethercutt family, and a host of others bers of the Loyal League, and added to I l . r t ?r T7 t I iu. uuiraires ui iu. luiamuu. jlviib. militia upon peaceable, unoffending - v . Mj citizens, may with all propriety be charged to the same account. As a rule, we believe that every per son who violates the law should be made to nav the penalty, but in the case3 of these political offenses, were every nnn brouglit to the bar of justice and dealt with according to the strict interpretation of the law. the result would be a calamity. Great crimes, which have convulsed society, have been committed, but should all those who have been charged with tnee crimes be brought to their trial, it might be infinitely worse: new f'eclinga of more intense bitterness spring up between the races, and a worse condi tion of things be inaugurated than ha3 heretofore existed ; while by wip ing out the whole at one sweep of pa- triotic legislation, a neaitny conumon m . 1 . rate all charges for past actions and tne danger ol a recurrence is past, out as long as these charges may be actionable a danger exists. We trust that members ot the As sembly will cast aside all partizan prei udices, and look this matter squarely in the face as a patriotic measure, and like faithful conservators of the public good, pass the bill as introduced by Col. Allen, and the whole people will give them praise, From the Tarboro Southerner, It has been generally well understood that the Republican party was not com posed of the best people in the world. In fact, some evil disposed people, not having the lear of a negro majority before their eyes, have been rash enough to assert that there were quite a number of big radicals in the Radical ranks. The action ot the said party in the Legislature on the amnesty .bill inclines us to join rn the said opinion. This bill, as passed by the Sentte, and now before the House, is the great olive branch of peace between the two great parties of the State. it proposes to pardon all crimes committed in a political sense, including members of the Kuklux, Loyal League but does not exempt criminals, mur derers, etc. As the News says, it does not shield any individual from- any acts he may bave committed in his individual capac ity, if we understand it aright. It is only intended to operate upon acts committed by political societies, or by secret or ganizations composed of members of one or the other of both politicaLparties, when those acts were committed under the orders or decrees of such organiza turns. . From the Salisbury "Watchman. lhe time when these crimes were perpetrated by the opposing secret-oath bound political tactions or leagues, is happily gone bv, and it would be well were it forgotten also. Under no cir cumstances can the peace, welfare, or interest of the citizens, be promoted by calling up the dead past.and re-opening the wounds inflicted by bitter factions and opposing partisans. Amnesty may turn loose some despe rate and bloody handed villains, but is it not better that a few guilty devils should escape than that a whole State of innocent persons should be made' to suffer by the evils and burdens incident to endless prosecutions and continued strife ? This is the important question, and we trust our representatives will be able to solve it in such a manner as will redound to the glory and well-being of North Carolina. fFrom the Asheville Expositor. A bill granting amnesty and pardon to all persons who may have violated the criminal laws of the State, while connected with the Ku Klux, Loyal League, and other secret political or ganizations, is now before the Legis lature. . This bill has passed the Senate, and -will come before the House in a few days. It seems to have met with violent opposition from the Republican side of the House. While we have no excuses to make for the murder ot Out law and Stephens, we must say we have always believed that these secret organ izationsjgenerally known as Ku Klux had for their object, in the first instance, the preservation of life and property, rather than the violation of law; but like all secret societies, it partook some what of the character ol the communi . ty in which it existed. So whenever a lot of wild boys got control at any point, they were guilty of some impru dent conduct. But the Republicans of North Caroli na, with all their talk about want ing a returnof good feeling a millen nium in the political world are still crying for vengeance. What will satis fy these men? If the cry came from the immediate victims of the EuKlux, such as Bigerstaff and Andy Ramsour, we could understand it; but most of these men have been living,undisturbed, on the fat of the land. Every indignity that ingenious hatred could suggest has been heaped upon those unfortunate Ku-Klux offenders ;those who have not oeen uragged aoout irora one court to another arc exiles, many of them leav ing helpless families behind them. From the Southern Home. Nevertheless, the best interests of the State require that agitation should cease. The prosperity of the country is serious ly damaged by these political troubles and complications. Many of the youn men have gone off and labor . is too scarce to afford such a sacrifice. We favor anything that tends to peace, har mony and reconciliation. We advoca ted Mr. lireeley, an old and bitter polit ical enemy, on this ground. For the same reason, we favor the amnesty bill in the piotection it affords Loyal Leaguers and Red Strings. The wel- lare ot north Carolina is dearer to (ban party considerations. us From the Charlctte Observer. The State can well afford to be merciful. Perfect peace reigns within her borders : the blood of her offending children is not needed further to expiate their offences. Punishment enflugh hi3 already been inflicted upon her people for the crimes and tins ot the recent organizations that warred upon each other in the dark. No good to the State can come of further prosecutions Therefore, let Justice sheathe ber sword and let Mercy rule the day. Let the crimes of the ignorant Union Leaguer and the desperate Ku Klux be alikefor given by the State, and let not "the gates of mercy" be shut against this vast army of white men and boys, and deluded negroes, who in moments of great provocation recklessly broke ti e laws of the land. The cry of the bitter minded Republicans who oppose this beneficent exercise of clemency on the heeded ; under their show of an earnest I 2i..r if 3 1 I anxiety for justice, policy and deep- seated malice "couch'd with revenge are like to be found. For the sake of mercy, and in the interests of peace, harmony, humanity, and the general welfare of the whole people, irrespective of party, let this Amnesty and Pardon be given. From the Tobacco Plant. A bill has been introduced in the State Senate and passed its several readings, granting pardon to the mem- iers ol the Ivu Klux, Union Leagues, Heroes of America, &c. This is an im portant bill, and if it passes tbe House and becomes a law, will do more to promote the peace, prosperity and hap piness of our people than any one measure within the power of our Legis lators to grant. I1 rom the Magnolia Monitor, It is with pleasure that we record the tact that a bill has been introduced into the Senate of North Carolina General Assembly, by Col. William A. Allen, our benator trom Duplin, granting unto the members of Uuion Leagues, Kuklux Klans and Heroes of America, general amnesty. We urge it as one of the most important bills which has been brought before the Senate for adoption. Col. Allen, our able Senator, in his in troduction of the bill, made a speech which did credit to himself and to his supporters. It promises much peace and tranquility to many in our State, which shall give to them serenity and compos urev,;lhi3 is but justice extended to what was a gross crime which was done by men misguided and provoked to do, what was not dictated by a thinking and reasoning mind, but by a blind rage and heated passions induced by insults and injuries. From the Klnston Gazette. Then let our representatives see to'it that they do theirx whole- duty in this important matter, pass the bill and stay the mighty tide ot emigration lrom our good old State by putting at ease all those who. for political offences of which both parties are equally guilty, ior which at present they leel them selves uauie to oe dragged on to an ignominious and unreasonable punish ment in some Northern prison. Nor is this all. It is the olive branch of peace which is to bury the bitterness ot the past and restore the prosperity ol JNorth Carolina. Then let our Rep resentatives remember that the eyes of their constituents are upon them, and they dare not neglect such a great pub lie demand as this. If Republicans will array themselves against this hu ... . . . . mane and great public measure, let them ; but let every Democrat in the House of Representatives vote for it to a man ! ' From the Wilmington Journal.' We would have greatly preferred to have discussed the bill solely on the grounds of public policy, and would have done so but for the action of the Radical party in the premises. As they have seen fit to draw party lines or toe bill, we propose to urge a lew reasons for its passage, as A measure of party policy. In the first place the party is already committed to the poli cy ot amnesty as" set forth in the bill. Whatever otcredit or of odium mav attach to the support of that bill, al ready attaches to the Conservative party. g cannot escape it 11 we would. If it be true that so large a number ot voters need and desire thia protection, what will they say, and what will they do, when they learn that our Legislature, with its clear Conservative majority, has refused them amnesty and pardon f It the Conservative Legisla ture refuse to g'vejthem protection will they not seek it Irom Kadical Judges, Radical Solicitors and a Radical Gov ernor ? Do we need more proof than we had on election day in November of the tremendous influence exercised by crim inal prosecution, and by the fear of criminal prosecution, over the voters ol North Carolina ? It is a matter of com mon rumor and common belief that any man could purchase pardon and amnes ty from Radical authorities, simply by voting -lor Kadical candidates. Can the party expect to hold together if it thus refuses protection to so large a number of its members, when that protection is right and proper in itself ? Our political enemies are already par doned, practically ; our political friends only remain in danger lor the reason that the law will not be impartially ex ecuted. Individual members may possibly secure their return to the next Legisla- C 3 ture, but when they get" there they will find themselves in a pitiful minority if the bill now pending shall Jail, to be come a law. fFrom the Newbern Sun. Now as this bill is, so far as we can judge, equally applicable in its effects and bearings to the evil doers of loth Dolitical; parties, we urge its passage, and say to the perpetrators of wrongs and outrages, "Ye are. forgiven ; go and sin no more." borne Republicans, how- pvpr in Tiifi Tflpn nr iin-nr onn roaenn deny the cuarges ot Jvu Ivluxism made . - u - . against the Union Leaguers. The Ku Klux men, on the ether hand, by way of exculpating themselves, charge that the acts of the Leaguers instituted the neces sity lor the Ku Klux organization. As to the truth or plausibility of such statements every man must decide for himself. But as to the Amnesty bill of Mr. Allen, we do not see that aught else than good can result from its becoming a law, and therefore we hope it will pass. From the Newbern Journal of Commerce. It is a move in and if it becomes the right direction, a law. will do much to heal the dissensions and troubles ol the past, and restore 'harmony and good feeling. Years have parsed, order is restored J and midnight crimes have become few. These having passed away and the pas sions and hates of the hour having died with them, it becomes all wise and pa triotic men to blot the very iemem bruuee of them ii possible from the nook of memory, and by an act of General Amnesty and pardon, to restore the misguided or duped who belonged to these organizations to that peace and quiet of mind so necessary to make them orderly members of society and law abiding citizens.
