THE SENTINEL.
' rVM. E. t'ELL, PitorafitToit.
UNWISE DISCUSSION.
It Li difficult for aome men to writ or
peak with discretion. Partisan feeling
nr ' ambition will be sure to ontemp
iUclf in time of political excitement.
Whereas, men who we guided by pun-,
uneelfh patriotism, will always chow il -ef
by It coolness and moderation.
Ooy. Bragg's speech at the Conn rvativo
meting in thi City last Saturday, was of
tliia let Mr character. It w free from pas
aion free from the arte ot the demagogue.
He appealed to the reason of men, anil in
dulgcd in no invrctive, no expletives or
bitter railing, but eliminated in plain sim
ple tcrun, that courae ol policy, which bu -inanity,
kindnc to both races anions u,
ami a wiae and considerate ttemanliip
demand, ior the safi ty and prosperity of
the wlio'e country and all dse.
The iam spirit marks the able letter ot
Gov. Graham, published by ua on Wedn
day last, which, although differing in n.ru
reaped from th viuw of many ot hi
friends, submits bit thought in a manner
an felicitou. end at the itmi time, s con
vinciag of hi own pure patriotism and Imn
est ooovlction, u t inspire til with the ad
miration and reapect, which his entire public
life haii riveted upon the judgment and feel
ings of hi fellow citizen.
What a pity it i, that all of in cannot
apeak and write thus, whatever may lie our
opinion. We regret to learn that llio
speeches and talks of the epeakert at the
Uadical meeting at the Court House, in this
C.'itv. on Wednesday evening last, were in i
wide contrast, with t';i speech and letter I
above .Itiulexl to. We had no reporter at t
ih.i n..tin.r We have no disposition to I
ridicule or to madden our political oppo
nent. The olid diflVrtnc oi opinion
lietwaea us, throw u wida enough apart,
without our desiring to widen the breach,
by showing th aamu bitter and retaliating
pirit towards them But we have heard
some things we regret, nd which we o ight
not to overlook.
We are informed that Mr. Iloiden. S m..r
Rditor of the Standard, who made thitnot
elaliorate eeeh, perhaps, mad many re. ir.
acteristie assaults upon hi political nppo
nents, m-nminclng tlicrri atseceMionim and
traitors, as enemies to the colored race, Ac. I
II altetnpteil a reply to Gov. Bragg. We i
are told that he v wed kimself opposed to
all distinction iM'tweei the white aud coU
ored races regretted 'bat any mcb distinc
tions i ver existe t, and that he ahould labor
lor the obliteration of alt distinction. We

Senior ha hen reported fairly to us, that
the Junior Editor of the Hind irJ, Mr. Jo
aepfc W. Hidden, who, it i understood will
be on of the Radical candidate for the
Convention, also endorse that aentimeni.
If not, he owe it to himself to disavow it
The Senior, also, w ar told, made some
very uguardcd and incendiary remarks
about tlie "war of races." II attacked
Oov. Bragg and thoee who favor hia views,
aa desiring to bring this horrid state of
. things about. If hi remarks en this point
hate been iairly represented to us, w have
'HO hesitation in saying that the chsrge is
utterly without (smodation. No sane man
desire such a thing, and no Conservative
will give ny eonistenance to it. Gov.
Ural's allusion In a "war of races" was
afmplylncfientalTaiid was alluded to only
a a artjuenca which followed necessarily, a
hostile course toward the whites on the prt
ot the black, fineb a result he deprecated
in the eitreme. But if Mr. lloblen is c.r

from any one at this particular time espe
cially. I it not, at least, unprovoked and
imprudent t Does it not violate that lit ense
to allow free speech and a free press nnly s
far a not to promote public disorder ami
lawlessness. We allude to this subject with
tugrel, not designing to depart from our
purpose not to enter into any controversy
with the HlaniforJ, but simply to allude to a
matter, which our position obliges us to do,
a on' anxious to preserve ihu peace and
quiet of society. We further learn that the
speaker disavowed the doctrine of rnnflsea
tioa tt is too llo in the day for Radicals
to attempt thus to back out.

WATTRAVEL.
Our correspondent "Progress" to day
touches a point which it of much impor
tance to our merchants and oar Kail Roada.
There are two point, about which we may
differ with our correspondent, yet we entire
ly approve of his design to atir up our Hail
Roads and merchants to see if something
caunnt be effected, to afford facilities to our
people along the routes of Rail Roads for
their better accommodation.
1st We advocate no plan which experi
ence and calculation can demonstrate, wilt
certainly damage the Railroad pecuniarily.
We are sure our correspondent desires no
such thing; because we know he is deeply
interested in the aucceaa of our Roads.
2nd. We do not favor the idea, that our
Railroads are to be indiffrient tn either
thnvijh travel or through Ireight. Our
North Carolina Railroads tdiould be con
ducted on the same liberal principle that
the Railroads of other States are conducted,
to the fitsnt nf t'teir nlrihty The citizens of
other States sre as deeply interested in the
accommodation which our Railroads afford
them, as the citizen of North Carolina are
in the accommo latiot which the Railroads
of other 9!te slfnrd to ours We are a
Kilter hood ol States and a brother-hoo'l of
people, and we are in favor ot our Road
doing all they can to facilitate through mails.
throwjh travel, and through freight.
What our concFpohdent denirca h. that
too much attention should not ! paid to
the accomtnoat ion ol other people, to the
neglect of our own. We believe that a
mine discretion into which all our Railroads
ahould enter heartily ami to co operate with
each other in effecting, would lead all our
Koada to
rk together to fa i I it ate the
P"h'ic mail., throKh travel and through
freight, and at the ums time promote to
their utmoat capacity vny travel and vny
freight.
Here at the capital of th State, we are
pajine high price for Northern flour. Wen.
leru bacon. Northern pork. Northern butter,
Northern Iwf, Northern cabbages. Northern
potatoes, and thousand of other things
whieh can lc produced eheaer in this Stare
titan anywhere else, but which we cannot
get, becin the exH ne of freight and travel
sre too liili in North Carolina to make
their produei ion aKundant anil profitable.
Is il not a crying shame, that our people are
li pen lent upon Northern markets for theae
thing, t Can any n d.ii;bt the causes of
our poverty him iie;ii.iencr wncn meee
things are so ? We have near'y bankrupted
ourselve by making cotton and tobacco,
while we have tn g.i North to purchase
vrl.nt we eat and wear. Let the people look
ID it.
As we ev' t tt 1, the all ef a Slate Pon
venti-'ti U-ing too short, and the delegate
appointed to attend llievirg there would
he n iie, failed to attend l.ere on the 10th.
A few gentlemen from Wayne having uffi
cient leisure determined to visit the City
on Wednesday, to lie on hand if the dele
gates met. We are gbid to learn that our
friend in that County are fully up tn time,
and are ready to do their duty in the
coming election. In no County in the State
ar the Conservatives mire fully organized,
than in the 4 ounty of Wayne. The young
men of that County do not wait for lh old
stagers to move, but they are activo in pro
motiug the intetets of ConserTathim. We
hope their exampl will b followed by the
young as II aa the more aerd men, all
over the Slat
Th policy of tit many disfranchised
Conservative men in th State to le atlll,
when the people are ralliug for their cean
sils in this criis. rann t lie justified. Our
opponents v. ho ar equally disfranrhiard,
are not si ting thus They are bmy night
an I day in promoting Radical measures
Let our Conatrvauvr men do likewise.
The people claim at their hand, the advice
and counsel they ar so well prepared to
give.
Meanwhile we hope that some pul
lic tnev ting id Conservatives in th State,
will suggest at once a proer day, when the
Conservatives ran meet in Convention in
tin City
Wc i karn that J H. Harris, the negro
sja aker at the Ridical mu ling on Wedne

that he would be gl id to have the photo

Mr 1):h Hoioksj :I hare the honor to
acknowledge th receipt ot yyur personal

the issue of your paper on the 13th instant,
in a paragraph which you are pleased to
head "The Orssy Creek Difficulty."
"Really, tolden, it seem to me that you
were in th facetious vein when you wrote.
I har heard I tore of your playlul wit, ami
innocint practical jokest upon the public,
such as fai ing, like th noble sun flower, to
the genial warmth of the predominant par
ty, when you were expected to look the

Pray, do ym, dear Iloiden, in your lofty
singleness of purpose t
A soliloquy follow your congratulation.
Tou ssy "we thought the nstionsl forces
were here to protect, and not to harrasa aud
oppress Union men." Why not add. my
dear lloblen, trssa you and your s in (for
you say tt,) first thought and ituhtd so I It
would give a charming compactness, and
confer tone upon your monologue. Now,
lloblen, are you a Simon pure prodigal, re
turning to get a law husks f or have you a
longing eye on the fat calves T I really fan
not tell. Things must appear dihVrentl v,
you know, from your elevated, and my in
igwiacaot ataetUpoint-. Then HoWen, my
dear tellow, you follow up so quickly by
immediatelv making two speculative in
quinea : "What is to be done with the rebel

Hinon' injuria I" Don't precipitate li
cloure why not wait and ee I"
Ar you tfi, dear Iloiden ? I fear that
your nervous system is disordered, or that
you ar bilious for you em so to have lu-t
your loqunt, impassioned, rich and glow
ing style, and I might add your cointly
manners. Both appear a little jaundiced,
and jaundice proceeds from the liver and
the liver affects the bilious solutions, you
know. Take some warm syrup, if worms
make you uervou it will do you good.
Don't write any more until you are better.
You known you are loved and feared. Try
not to loae easte. When you do write my
dearest Iloiden, write about something thai
you know about, if there be anything or

AN APPEAL.
Mrssm. Eoitohs :
It is enough to rejoice the heart ol every
patriot in the land to hear of the mighty
political reaction which is going on, and to
think that our good and glorious country
is not to be given opto fuel ion, war and
bloodshed and the traiu of heart-sickening
evils consequent upon the rule ot' w iski d
and designing demagogues. Iet ua con
gratulatc ourselves upon this l ing desirid
return to a proier sense of the eternal prin
ciples ol right and justice, and an apprrcl
tion o the Ixat interests of the whole co.ie.
try. Madness anil itsdisatrnus consequence
have ruled the hour long enough. The
country in the meantime has passed through
a terrible ordeal. When, aft. r the utilorli
nate siorm a four y ar's devastating war had
ceased, anil the sun of peace had appeared
again, high hopes ol qutct and prospnuy
were entertained ; but tl o fud hop. s
hhiii pioved to be ihccptive illusions.
Wicked men attaint d to high places, the
sun ot pi ace ilisuppenred again, the polin -cal
hirivens became d.uk and towering,
and nou's hearts failed them, in view of
the pot lending storm which waa threa'-n j

nin of hoH' is about to burst forth agaiu to
flood I hi-con 11 try w it h light and glory. How
opportune, then, Messrs. Editors, is tti or
gauistion of the ( (institutional l'nion
movement that lias trccn inaugurated. Let
every patriot ol whatever color, who is a
Irieml to law and order and at'onalitution
al L'nion unite with tliia great movement.
Let moderation, discretion and wisdom
characterize its platform and all ft proceed
ings. Let the colored people be taught by
conciliatory and reasonable persuasion that
it is to their interest as well a to the inter
est of the white man. to assist in making
the country great and prosperous, and that
then they can reasonably hope to
buy lauds and homes with the pre
ceeds of their successful labor, instead
of trusting to the I loody and im
practicable plan of obtaining them by
('oiitisj ation. I verily believe that many
colored men, who have la-en deceived and
decoyed into oath bound association, will
co-operate with a I oiiservaiive parly com
posed of good luiu, and such a.s they would
not fear to trust o,iticaliy or otherwise -There
ha- I - n 110 opposing poiiiieil o-"g

but one side ot the question. It them
hear both sides aildchooec lutwecn thetwo.
Let tlu m understand that this unot a white
msn'sativ more than a black man's party.
Il tln l.owever, choose to have nothing to

comp. d only of white men, why then tlin

ni'Vt ineiit, lit them la? showed respect and
eiieoiiraged to mingle willi us. f-t by
gones now be by -gone ami away with this
useless and misihevoiis abuse ot "yankees."
The North and the South were both re
sponsible for the late war, and now that it
is passed aud gone and we are to be one
people again, w hy should either so act as to
keep alive alienation and emhitlerd leelings?
Let us all, irrespective of plsec of birth or
of color, unite in onegrnnd and harm. minus
effort to restore peace, harmony and pros
perity to the country, and tlun the $ovthtrn
man under his own fig tree and the colored
man under tiis fig tree too, which he has
bought with Ihu proceeds of his honsst
labor, from his neighbor theSntithern white
man, and the northern man under his tmith
rrn fig-tree can all worship God according
to vnr itTctfes of orir respective consciences
and tiave a gooil time generally speaking
all togithvr.
