It baa been said that Hon. C. 0. Pool
made speeches for prohibition; ibis we
are, informed is not correct. Mr. Pool
thought at first that prohibition was
right, but he afterwards, and before the
election changed his mind. So the
prohibition Democrats will hare to get
. some other dodge.
. As to the fact that a Republican ad
1 ministration of the city affairs bestowed
the office upon a Democrat; that has no
bearing upon the case whatever. It is
certain that Mr Cutlar would never
have been made the legal adviser of the
"eity under a Republican administration
but for the fact that no Republican
lawyer on wh6m to bestow the honor
and emoluments of the office, and hence
a matter or necessity need not be para
dedaa a matter of merit. Wilmington
? licview.
Our contemporary either lies under a
mistake or maliciously, we are unable
.to say which,. We are inclined to be
lieve it -is through ignorance, from the
fact that if he bad sense enough to
V know anything he, would know that
there were Republican lawyers here In
1877. . Where was Hon. Daniel L. Kua
sell, the ablest lawyers in the state? we
ask this ignorant little sheet. '
r COL. GEOllGE FOLK.
It has been paraded all over the state
by the .hourbon Democratic press that
. Col. George N. Folk, the liberal aid
Republican : candidate for Supreme
; Court Judge, was in favor of the pre
cnt county government system. We
knew this was not the case, in fact the
information was positive, but we pre
ferred to let the bourbon press get stuck,
as they always do, if you only give
thcin sufficient latitude. - But we did
not suppose any .Republican paper
would take up the foul Ilea of these
bourbon Editors; but in a very few cases'
we tv ere mistaken. Rut Col. Folk hsa
written a letter, which we publish In
another, column, which is entirely to
the point, and in such strong language
that uo one can misunderstand. He is
entirely with us on the county govern
"ineut question, and advocates the right
of the people to elect their own local
officer. Tie letter is one bf the beat
we ever saw; it is unlike the ordinary
letter of a lawyer or politician, his
. short and plain; it cannot be miscon
strued by any, and we know it will be
satisfactory to every anti-bourbon, and
to eve'ry true Republican of the state.
MO ra. IIOBOIKS. ' -The
difficulty which took pJace at
statcaville on the 6lh Instant, was
caused by W. M. Itobblna, who had
made a speech a few days previous, in
which be abused Dr. J. J. Mott in est
unmercifully. He did not stop at crit
icising him politically and ciZcially,
but he outrageously abused hia per
sonally. Had young Mott killed Rob
bias instead of simply thra&iirj Liza

charged iL'at he cad bold back any of
,$e evidence. The cba rmn of , the
committee investigating Dr. uotva at-
lairs is his bitterest enemy. A man
vrho has ; been against'1. Mott for year,
and never speaks to ilett unless he is
boand to do so. Senator Vance is the
chairman of this oommlttee no charge
can be onde that the investigation has
not been thorough. -
On the other hand this man Rbbins,
who haa a mouth so full of slander and
abuse for others, is kown to fee one of
the most corrupt men in North Caroli-
na. ; While a memne: oi tne legisla
ture of 1803 ' and 189. he took a bribe
of twenty dollars for hia vote. lit has
been 'strongly intimated that he re
ceived nbribe wbilein congress, "and it
is well known tbatbe is for sale on
most any subject that" comes up before
the people. And ibises the man who
is so anxions to drag'jdowo a hightoned
honorable gentlema.u i to a level wt a
himself, " tbe mnd land mire of cor
ruption and fraud; ,
Dr.' J. J. Mott is making a most vig
orous fint against the bourbon Democ
racy, and 'he people know him to be
able , and true to the great interests of
the people of the staffs therefore they
will follow his leadership. - With such
able liberals as Msj. Price, Cols. Shober,
Johnson, Folk Staplestand Cocke, tbe
great west is wheeling into line and this
accounts for the great-anxiety to break
Dr. Molt - down, bu( Jnstead of accom
plishing that they. wU succeed in build
ing him up in the hearts of the people
lit the state. Whenever mod; slingers
like Bobbins turn on a man the! people
Know he has' honesty on his sid, and
the first opportunity they have he will
be indorsed. So we 'bid these filthy
slanderers, like Robbins), to go on with
their calling. J.
; COUKTT OOVCRMENT.
The, liberalization of ihe politics of
the state which, is the living issue of
the approaching campaign, is forcing
the npbolders of tbe. present condition
of things' to show their hands. , Every
proposed change in ,ihet institutions of
a country ought to be profoundly scroti
ntzed in a. philosophic manner, and no
innovation should bejyictioned simply
from a desire for change, or where
abuses do not actually exist. If the
present system of county -government
could ; be i demonstrated to be the best,
or even . better than he one which is
offered as a substitute, then it would
be absurd to destroy hi; - ; V
The Wilmington fieviev of June 24,
C3ntius an article which advocates a
further; limitation of the suffrsge, by
making the judiciarjnon-elective. ; la
this' the writer is more' consistent ihau
many of those who are clamoring for
tne present irrespoifsibie system ol
county government. But the chain of
reasoning which proves that the peo
pie are;' unfit W cboose' their magistra
cy, is necessarily as strong against their
selectiou of their legislature and exec
utive. There is po dfvloitv in the of
fice of Judge whiebjoes not V equally
hedge that of Governor or legislator.
Under the old system; when the Judges
were elected by the legislature, the pre-.
aiding oQcera of our courts did, occa
sionally, exhibit symptoms of superior
Ity to common clay,:and assume a re
serve and severity of manner which
struck awe into beholders whether
criminals or t honest men. This arose
from; the. fact they were nut under ob
ligations to the people for their office;
they jfelt; themselves' above ordinary
mortals, and they adopted their uocour
teous demeanor in consequence of their
irresponsibility to the people. Let all
who contrast the manners of our pres
ent Judges, 'with those of ante btlUm
days,' aay which method i the most
suitable to a free people, and in a free
republican country. " J
Ours is a republican country. The
constitution of the United; states guar
antees to eaeh state a - republican form
or government. The state constitu-
tulion confers the right of suffrage upon
all naturalized and native born males
over: twenty years old. It is the f.eest
form of goveroneat wlfich the world
baa jever; known. As freedom Is
means t for the happiness of saankied,
the human race, other thicr beici
equai, U happiest where the greatest
freedom exists. Every deprivation of
liberty, is the cattlrcff cf eaetcf the
avenues of ha? pints; and it Setolvee

Forty thousand Democrats in Nortb.Car-
olina have declared in favor of the liberal
party, the principles of which are: 1st,
a "free ballot -and r fair count;" 2d, local
self-government," which "means that yon
shall have an . opportunity to yote for
your local officers again, such as magis
trates and county commissioners, and
8d, "equal ? rights in the courts for all
men regadless of color." Cn this plat
form every Republican in North1 Caro
lina can subscribe and Tote to sustain,
it matters not what the past antece
dents of the candidates have been.
The -doctrines are good enough for
us, and no one in the state can doubt
our Republicanism; and ' we appeal
to every colored man in the state,
in the nkme of honor, manhood, self
respect, for the Jove he has for wjfe,
children, sisters and brothers, and for
the reverence he baa for bis dead pa
rents to unite as one man; carry the lib
eral ticket to victory. Show the De
mocracy of the state, ' aiid the world,
that It is not men yon fight for; but the
great fundamental principles "Of the
father?, "equal rights for all men before
the law and at the ballot box.'' ,
DEttUUUACY COMTAOLLKU BIT
. BOLTER!.,'
Tbe bourbons are raising a tremen
dous howl about independents and bol
ters. And yet that party is controlled
and managed to-day by just that class
of men. In 1872 Augustus M. Mrrri
man bolted the Democratic legislative
caucus, and was. elected to : the U. S.
Senate by Republicans and indepen
dents sgainst Z. B. Vance, the caucus
nominee he ertaioty cad say nothing
against independents.- He was backed
by his law pardner, Samuel A. Ashe,
the present edi or of the Raleigh AVw
tout Obtcrctr. i In 1874, Thomas. Ruffin
bolted tbe nominee of bis party, and
run against Judge John Kerr. Judge
Ruffin is estopped from saying anything
against bolters and independent lib
erals. , ; .i .--
When the leading men on. the ticket
and in tbe canvass of the bourbon pr
ty have' been bolters and independents
on their own private' accouut, they can
sy nothing which will effect the forty
thousand liberal Democrats who have
detitred themselves Iree and indepen
dent citizans. to act and vote for men
du measures w mil ineir own con
science'. '
. I s
Colored men of North" Carolina Lhn
Democrat, have sgaiq,tdrawu the cojor
'lne on you, tor tbe urpose if success
ful of crtating a feeling, airaiust you
that will fiually result iui taking from
you what few rights y u nave left.
Stand together, and ac with great cu
servatiom and discretion. -You are law
aoioing citizens, and as patriotic as
any in J the couutry;., do not let bad
men cause you to depart from yofir
usual course, cor cause dissensions with
in your ranks to your detriment. Tbe
bourbons will now; be at work with
their emmissaries tu create discord, dis
censions, divisions ind bolts. Watch
those men whom the bourbon Demo
crata send among you. Tbey wiil be
but corrupt hirelings of a corrupt hour
boo. Democracy, who desire to cause
you to divide so that they can ride into
office.' If you fctahd together this time
you are bound to get back tbe rig&tno
to asi it in electing your local officers.
We appeal to yon as your friend jo be
faithfully united and all will be saved.

Tery . jreatt pleasure in exhoneratlng
Mr. Darby from all blame. We d.d at
that time, and published a black list of
Mnestcf the men who were guilty of the
criine of defrauding the Republican
candidates of 1050 votes. We had the
evidence of the men who conspired to
defraud us, thef could not get Mr. Dar
by, who was chairman of the Demo
cratic committee to do their. dirty work,
therefore9 they took .the matter into
their rown bands. Mr. Darby, was ap
pealed to, to take bold and manage the
matter,4 but he ' indignantly refused to
play1 the rascal for ' them. Mr. Darby
has always been in favor of a "free bal

and they are proud of an opportunity
to show him that they appreciate hon

These Democratic Aldermen are sitting
and making laws by means of a fraud,
known as a ?gerrjmanaei' i-f the city,
vrhtreby a majority ot one . thousand

ot men are declared elected, who could
only receive, in case we bad local self

rated and began to corkv then miscitef

ance and confusion about the apiKlot-
ment of justice &c, at tbe first election,
but the ring was perfect afterwards.
I will now give an account of the way
of appointing Jutica' of the peace
county commissioners &c in this coun
ty- The Democratic executive com
mittee is composed of one member from
each township, and one of the number ia
chairman. They nominated themselves
for justices excepting three; the justices
-F r 1
men eieciea lour oi meir own oumoer
commissioners, and the fifth commis
sioner is the oae of the executive com
mittee, who was not made la justice.
(he being a lawyer, would uot b come
a justice.)! The so-elected justice and
commissioners then elected far county
superintendent ' of instruction one of
their justices who i also-, the (chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee of the county; but - at one time
the, executive committee became alarm
ed, and put .on two special justices for
Ispeciil occassious.-(See acts 1881, page
603.)
Ttfe auperintendent of conoty -chools
and the county commissioners appoint
ed school committeea'' to suit themi
selves iegardles of tbe people's wishes.
Now it is useless to say that ao aristo
cracy of this kind is repulsive to the
"American citizen' A Warren county
has been classed with thost "negro

see ia tie GazeUe, a paper published
here by aa eccr. under the ccacty
government system, a thread against
the Democrats of the west as follows:
If the west forsakes us ia this vital
issue, it erst net look to the v east,
(county government party) - hereafter
for the support or afSliation. It will
tiea be our 'daty to take care - of oura
selves aa best we can. If they tbiuk
their threats will control the respect
able citizens of the west, they are badly
mistaken; for we believe that th? west
b comprised of citiz'sns of firm honest
principles, who believe in equal justice
to allmankind. Now will they' submit
to. such threatsmpon them as are men
tioned in their resolutions. .We the nt
groea and independecta simply aa
justice, and be lieve that the good men
of the state will grant ua that.

? Mr. George H. King, in entering u p.
00 the duties as chairman of the x
ecutive committee of the Republici n
party of Warren county, Issued an cd-
dress to the voters of the couoty, from
which we take extracts and commend
them to the careful perusal Of the voters
of the counties throughout the state.'
After, cocgratuiaJng them upon the
favorable prospects of succesi next fall,
heaays: 1
'Stand fast to the principles of' the
Republican party, because they rive to
the poor man an equal showing with
the rich one;' because they arm the iz
noraht man with the same weapon of
defence .that the educated man has;
because they cherish! and foster the
achool boutt where the poor as well as
the rich may drink from the well of
Knowledge; because they recoznize mer
it and virtue' though they come - from
the bumble but; because they freed the
bodien of four million people from cor
poral slavery ajnd restored freedom of
thought; freedom of speech, and free
dom of action to millions of others; be
cause mey remain forever, ana are unr
alterably fixed io the bosom of every
lover Of the constitution and. of civil
liberty. ry ;.'; ; -
Tbe day baa now come ! when our
citizens, irrespective of color and pre
vious condition, must rally lo the polls
and vote down the pernicious, inlqui
tiou and oppreraive measure placed
upon us by a few bitter partisans, call
ed ihr "couoty government system."
It rots the people of their right to vole
for their Magistrates; it robs tbe people
of their rigit to vote for their : School
Cosrmltteeseo; it robs the people of
their righito vote for Couoty Cum mis
sioner ; and unless we rise up and vote
it do wn, they will endeavor to rob ua of
our right to vote at all. The magistrate
who decides your cases it only respon
sible to the executive committee of a
party whose highest ambition ia to hold
oce, though uosoiicted and unelected.
- Yes fellow citizena, I believe I know
that you will, lor the love of the man
hood that there Is In voo; for the love
you have and bear i for your wives and
children; for the love you have for the
shelter that covert your head, be It
palace or bet, rise up and ana ch from
the plunderers or civil liberty, the vote
which he has stolen from you, and. 1
pledge you my faith to perf-rm tbe du
ties of my position with devoted ener
gy, untiring teal, and with roor un
divided help, will add hundreds of new
voters lb the party of civil liberty and
the people' government.
Bally far your vote, rally.
