Secretary Sherman if the-.hi.o8t popu

llis brilliant success m cstauusning
specie payment, and in funding the
publi'vdebt, at a low rate of interest, as
well a his great ability as a statesman
and Irvihr, have very j justly .combined,
to make I'isu Wei believe he can
gr V more votes, to-day, -for President,
than any man in the United States.
H is record as a Republican has been
firm, and u nil inching; as a Senator, pure
and statesmanlike, and as -Secretary of
the Treasury it has
proved him to
be the greatest financier d that
the y country cveij produced.
irie should be nominated by the Na
ti mal Republican Convention in 18S0,
he would be elected by a large majori
ty. The inonied and business interests
of the country will demand his nc,mi
nation; the mechanics and otlicr labor
ing men will join in the demand, and the
Republican Union men of the south,
'whom John Sherman1, with Oliver P.
Morton, stood by and defended in the
Senate of the United States, will come
out ami-work and vote, for him a they
have for no other man;man since Grant,
in 1868. and as they would for no other
living mai to day. they can and will
'., - u:, ,l n.i, mn
mk moreor him than any other man
m me country, irom vue iaci, luaiurj
know he w,ould, when elecied, stand by
and defend their rights to the last, lie
is the best friend, in public life, to-day,
'that the colored people have,, and
Should he be nominated and elected,
not only their rights as citizens would
be protected, but he would, recognize
rn,in public positions ot the govern-
rtoL. ' Under, him
business would
prosper, manufactures improve, labor
trs would get work at fair wnges, and
the country would be happy. There is
jlher man in or out of the Republi-
I'j party who could accomplish as
inany good results, as President of the
United Slates, as John Sherman.)

We confess some; surprise
at
the
principles enunciated in an editoral of
the Star of the lth instant. If the
5ame had originated from a Republican
source at tnis time auu uay, ;.u nuuiu
have called down on (the head of the
unlucky quill, all the spare ink of
Democracy throughout the Old North
State..' T I .1
Mipre it k ipogt gratifying Ju all
people, whatever may be their political
creed, who love their country, the
Union, the principles or liberty, iree
- im . f
government, and equal' rights to all
citizens before the law, in I view of the
past to witness this if it is a spasmodic
'idence qf an awal?c:ne4 c9Usqe.nce,
and a releagation ot the great and grand
principles ' which constitutes the
foundation of 'the Republic and of all
our greatness and prosperity as a
nation,, on the part of the , leading
pemopratlc ppc of tlie state. The
feeling, however, s sonaewhat toneu in
view of the transactions of that party
in the past year.
We leave out the usurpation of the

"It i- because we are the earnest advo
cates and friends of a free ballot, a pure
ballot, and an honest count."
If the author of .this U honest and
absolutely means just what he says", we
have no doubt but what he would rea
der a good and great service to the
public at large and Brunswick espe
cially by publishing the full history of
the Brunswick steal or count. It is a
subject near at borne, where all the
facts in the case are comeatable, and no
dull but what the Star correspondent
at Smith ville would look the full thing
up if desired by our neighbor, it would
save the editor many a flighty trip in
imagination to the wiids of Louisiana,
M if.is-ipi, Florida and South Carolina,
l oking up bad frauds, and give nniver
sal satisfaction to the people.
If Mr. Cbinnis the de facto, (by an

"the average obscure southern Derno

bread, putty and other like substances.
What can the people of the civilized
world think of a community which can
tolerate inside it such an ass as pro
duced the following which we cut from
the Wliaugdoodle Snorter :
The r:al - reason of this grand and
amazing upheaval of affairs which has
resulted in placing the southern people
in triumph in the chief places ol the
national Government, is due to the
. x ' y,' ,0 ooon 11nfw tha
sUn . so nrr-nd. so steadfast, so faithful
and true, so full of sublime patience,
s quiet under unmerited oppresssions,
so generous, so brave, so full of all
temperate wisdom, and ex-
qui8ite knowledge how to; act. All these
qualities, combined with that wonder-
iai recuperative faculty which is' so
eminently a southern characteristic,
have produced their natural result, so
thi t now the precedence and gpwer of
the south-in Corigreess is like any other
established fact. It only remains for
our people to show themselves as truly
great in the time of their triumph as
they havo been m the dark hours ol
their most sad and bitter experience.
Success is the true touchstone of merit,
iid we do not doubt our people will
show themselves fully competent to
mairitain and exalt the honor which
has with so much justness been laid
upon them. 1 "
It is a law of physics that action and
reaction are equal. Nature preserves
l nnnlnoion in oil flia dnnnif m anta ff
being. Therefore when Democrats and
their nanera abuse Judfre Russell, and
'
resent his maiden speech m Congress,
the conclusion is irresistable that he
lmi sniil n'trnnd tnfr.. The Philoso-
pf old indignantly asked, what
have t done that those men should
praise me. The American patriot can

amouuts to bosh.
