PRACTISING IKE YOUNG'S RULE, TO 4 4 LIE LIKE II L, AND STICK TO IT." T In the New North State of the 20th inst., it is' stated tnat v uuring me war, in the county of Randolph, Col. J. M. Worth,! present democratic can didate for State Treasurer, and ex- Colonel in Vance's Militia, had near ly fifty respectable . women put in a pen," &c. A blacker falsehood than the above Ike Young himself could not invent. All the women that weie arrested in Randolph, were arrested to prevent their carrying news to cer tain robbers that search was being made for, and even these arrests were made by the Senior Reserve and Home Guards, with which Dr. Worth had nothing to do, either as an officer or private. Again the New North Stn.t,e charges that. " Tike a Militia y o Colonel, under Zebulon B. Vance, slapped Mrs. Owen's face and drag ged her by the hair of the head to a fence, and putting her thumbs under the rails, caused three of his men to sit upon the fence, that this outrage was reported to Gov. Vance, and he never removed Col. Tike," &c. That Tike was a Col. in Vance's Militia, is not true, he was simply a - - y " - J A V Lieutenant in the Home Guards, e- lected by the company ; and under the law, Gov. Vance had no power to remove him. . That Col. Tike did mistreat Mrs. Owens, is true, and which Gov. Vance had no power to remove him, it is true that he, Vance, wrote to Judge Settle, then Solicitor, to ascertain and punish the guilty parties, the only way they could be legally punished. This Settle failed to do. So he, Settle, and not Gov. Vance is the party responsible for the parties committing these outrages going unpunished. Such falsehoods as the carpet bag editor of the New North State is retailing, can do no injury in Randolph, their being fabri cated out of the whole cloth in the ollice-holder's worshop, in order to make the tax-ridden people submit to their exactions, is too palpable.

He calls it Democratic doctrine. He has read it throughout the county of Moore. Democrats, be not deceived. That paper is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

His opponent did not dare to deny the authorities from which he read. Mr. Robins is too well known to need any commentation at our hands. All know him, knows what kind of speech he can make. His Our individual prosperity depends solely upon the prosperity of the Com munities in which we live. . If busi ness is stagnant, we suffer. If enter prise languishes, we feel the ill-effects. The present deplorable condition of affairs is undeniable. We think that the responsibility of the republican party is equally undeniable. It has controlled the policy and patronage of the national and state governments for man 3'ears. Since 1868 the pros perity of the nation has been retro- grading until the people are welltngl bankrupt. For instance, the great staple of this section of the country cotton, is now selling 4n this city for less than the cost of its prodiictioai.-r' The republican party cannot spirt the responsibility for that wdc-spjad prostration of mechanical and indus trial interests that pervades the land. Will it alter the situation to grant it a further lease of power ? We think not.
