We again respectfully and earn tstlv urge upon our Republican friends throughout the State to ai us in tho attempt to successfully conduct this paper. For tho bene lit of those unacquainted with the fact a or the case, we state that we have no 'expectation or doiro to makea sinclf cent, but, that we are uinr everv clfort o serve the lie- r publican party, if we can do so by not making too great a iccuniary sacrifice. The paier is being run with the strictest regard to econ omy, and if our friends will only sustain u to an extent sullicient to pav for tho coniiKwit-ion and paper we will guarantee to the party a lively and an interesting paper at the capital. We do not ask contri butions, although we would be thankful for them. What tee want is iitbtcribcrt. For every dollar sent, we propose to send the paper to any designated address. We also invite the leading men of the party to aid us in the way o editorial or communications. The Tri-H'teWy Constitution is open to the party, and if our friends do not iiMke It a success, both as regards the matter it contains and in a pe cuniary point of view, the fault rests with them, not us. We have just as much interest in the success of the paper as any other Republi can in the State, no more. If any Republican finds fault let him ad dress himself to the task of remedy ing it. lie has a right to do so, and if he has tho interest of the party at stako he tcifl do so. Soreheads and grumblers are drawbacks to any fMuse. Put vour shoulders to the wheels, Republicans, and help out. Those who fail to do so ought not to discourage others. They should not bo allowed, at least, to stand in the way of those 'who are using every means at their command to further the trreat interests of the party. We confers to much encourage ;.vnt, but we need more. We want a larger pajwr, and we want it dn'Uy. If the lt-:iders.of the Repub lican party, wiii but , do anything like their duty,. we will have it, and very soon. t. S. D. I." stands for "Slate h mccjatic Plunderer. " W. R. C." use to stand R.

The Country Still True It is an insult to the loyal people of this country to suppose, that they are willing to turn over our National administration to the ten der guardianship of the bad men who. onlv a h'W vcars a so. sought j with all im-ans at lb ir command ; the !i-mejuerment of the nation. ! Whatever may be the ilitferr nces j among the citizens of the dilferent j States in n-Iation to thir local af i fails, out; thinr is certain, and that , r- is, there cxi-fs among a great ma jority i:i tin country an attach ment o our form of government not to be eradicated. It may be said bv some, that the war forever ! hid from vit w the question of union or disunion, and that no ui at- ter which party may be in the as cendant, our institutions would be in no danger of being again assailed. A careful review of the course pursued by the Democratic leaders since the surrender of Lee and Johnston, will prove to unpreju diced minds that this view is an er roneous one. It should be remem bered, that the Democratic party has 4.ever accepted in good faith any of the terms of reconstruction. It has been the constant aim of that party to keep constantly before the Ieople, as far as they could, the questions which brought about the late war. They have never forgiven the National congress for allowing the colored people of the South the privilege of the elective franchise. Upon all occasions, they take espe cial care to impress upon the rising generation afeelingof hatred towards everything national, and to encour age a spirit of sectionalism. We venture the prediction that the feel ing of love for the union of these States is less gentral now, after tho lapse of a dozen years, among the young men of the Democratic par ty, than il was immediately alter the close of the war. Whenever you find a Democrat in the South, you find an apologist, and,-in many instances, an open advocate of trea son ; and hatred to tho National Government is often the leading principle by which some are actu ated. Such being the case, would it not only be unwise but extremely dan gerous to again entrust the govern ment of the country into such ques tionable hands? To show that we are not arguing without reason, we can point to the acts of the present House of Representatives. Step by step they arousing every means to cripple the operations of the government, and especially do they aim to em barrass the military and naval arm of the service. We can tell the loyal people of the nation, that this means mischief. Many of us can remem ber that just such a course was pur sued in the incipient stages of the late rebellion. Had the Democrat ic party of that day but commenced at an earlier staj-o cf Buchanan administration, the same insidious siens now neiuir carrieu out. ve A I .1 very believe that this Union would have been irrevocably disrupted. If the Democratic party then were to succeed in electing their Presi dent in the coming campaign it would be the tocsin for a new, and we believe, a more vigorous effort to establish the infamous and danger ous doctrine of State rights, and the loyal people of the country would be forced at last to surrender all of the great principles cf justice and right for which so many of them suffered or died. Do not tell us. that this is a fancy picture, and that the Democratic party dare not at tempt it. They are . frenzied and disappointed enough to attempt anything, however desperate, if they could but wreak their petty revenge, 'iliey hate the govern ment because it checked them in their mad career. They hate the coloicel man because he has been in vested with the right to participate u the affairs of government, anel hey hate the Republican party be cause that party by its efforts aided to overthrow their tyrannical aspi rations. If Democracy succeeds, it means thatsucU men as Toombs, Ben Hill, Jeff Davis ana others of like strife will lord it in the capital of the na tion, there to again pKt the over throw ol tho people's liberties, it means, mat in uie ftoutnern States every man who remained true to the government is to become a po litical and social outcast, and that, in the language of Vance, they are to be in a condition worse even than the inhabitants of the ancient doomed cities of Sodom and Go morrah. In a word, there can be no computation of the terrible evils which would inevitably flow from the restoration of Democratic rule. Hence it is, we cannot believe that the peoplewill allow themselves to be again duies of such designing men, &nd when the political bugle shall sound the march in Novem ber net, the great Republican par ty of the nation, which, fifteen years ago saved us from destruction, will be reinstalled to administer and perpetrate the great ideas of our popular form of government. The continuance or Republican rule means the continuance of law, or der and honest government, while the inauguration of the Democratic party will result in continued strife, anuchy and perhaps civil war. . 4 We do not deem it necessary to offer any apology for the space de voted to the Pool outrage in this is sue. It is a crime which should be ventilated to the bottom, especially as Pool has thought proper to de fend his position. f J jV We gi ve belowr a 'statement pub lished in ihetfew'ftorth'J&citeyi'hich, rs it goes more fully Into 'detail than any we have seen? will be doubtless received with interest by our readers : "In Buncombe county i- a teach tr whose name is Rev. J.din Am mor.s. Thi3 gentleman's card is published on Thursday, i3:iu Ahouk the first day of April, i7 a1 ywr ago Air. Ainmon pc&unie wwncu I -m W , . . A i A 1 1 i to receive three! Jiunu'--u dollars from the Peabody Fur.i. He sent his application to Mr. l-l, expect-; ing, (as in former years, under the administration of Prof. Melver,) to receive his money. But no answer was returned. After waitingawhile he wrote Mr. Pool and again receiv ed no reply ; and thus he wrote sev eral times never hearing from the State Superintendent. At last he sent to Mr. Pool a registered letter, to guard against possible loss in the mails. In response to this, he re ceived an envelope containing a draft for three hundreel dollar, upon ene of the banks in Raligh, but not signed. This draft came from Mr. Pool. Not at all satisfied, Mr. Amnions first impulse was to return the elraft for signature, but considering that his letter might again be "lost," and learning that Mr. Poo! would before long visit Buncombe county, he held on to it. Mr. Pool reached Asheviile some time in the fall of 187o. Mr. Am nions met him there and was intro duced. In the course of conversa tion, Mr. Pool remarked, substan tially, that he supposed he, Mr, Amnions, had received his money all right, and upon being informed that he had nothing but an unsigned draft, Mr. Pool expressed surprise, saying he (Mr. P.) was not crazy, and that certainly he coulel not have been elrunk to have been guilty of so unbusiness like a trans action. The two then repaired to the bank of Mr. E. Sluder, of Ashe ville, where Mr. Pool, being unable to escape longer, signed the draft. Thereupon Mr. Ammons endorsed the draft to Mr. Sluder, the latter advancing the money upon it. So the teacher, Mr. Ammons, did not "suffer." After a day or two, Mr, Sluder saw Mr. Pinckney Rollins, Collector of Internal Revenue, at AsheviKe, and told him he would like to transfer the Ammons draft, and another one of like character, made payable to the order of Cook, (also a Peabody teacher,) to him, Rollins. The latter, be ing in the habit of depositing the moneys of the United States that came into his hands, in one of the banks at Raleigh, readily bought the drafts, paying Sluder six hun dred dollars for the two. These were then forwarded to Raleigh for collection, and in due time, pay ment being reused, Rollins received notice of protest for non-payment. He went to Sluder and got his money back, being fortunate in pot getting tho drafts directly from Ammons and Cook, who were poor men, and would have been unable to return the money. The result was that Sluder went to Raleigh to see what was the matter. He dis covered, of course, that there was no money in bank, to meet the drafts. He had an interview with Mr. Pool, during which the latter stateel he had useel the money ; that he had applied it to the purchase of a nouse, noping to make it good by receipts from his magazine, Our Living and Our Deadf but that he had been disappointed and asked Sluder not to expose him. He asked Mr. Sluder who knew of it besides himself, and being told of Pinckney Roilins' connection with the trans action, he requesteel Mr. S. to ask Mr. R. to say not hi rg about it, and that hejwould fix it up with himj Sluder, after a few days, when he would reimburse him for his ex penses to and from Raleigh, and also pay interest an the money. Sluder returned to Asheville, dnd. although several months have elapsed since his journey to Raleigh, up to a month ago, he had not re ceived from Mr. Pool the six hun dred dollars,' and perhaps has riot yet. It l naid there are other drafts out, of like nature, but our infor mation concerning them is not ex act enough to gi ve particulars. If this relation is untrue, -Itfr. Pool can easily prove it so, and ks it is not our design to give false in formation, we agree to acquaint the public with any statements, or proofs, that may tend to exonerate Mr. Pool from these grave charges. With the explanations of the ar ticle In this is-ue; any intelligent mind can form correct conclusions ; i ... i.i . i. . i i aim it wuum srem uj ue esiaonsneti that Dr. Sears has sent the Peabody money to Mr. Pool for disburse- ment ; that Pool has applied por tions of It to Ids own, use ; that he is now struggling, "with the aid of 8tracted, hoping to'succeed by the SOthdayof June; and that ho de- Jioeraieiy uesigns 10 mtsieau lie public.

The secret of his popularity undoubted ly lies' in his innate sense of honor and integrity. He despises 1 the empty and hollow ostentation of the demagogue, and he is hostile to a degree to rings of all kinds, and ; gives them a wide berth upon all occasions. In one of his recent speeches he said, that he held it to be an axiom, that our country was by far too vast to? be controlled by mere partizans, since partizans w ould be swayed by local influen ces, but our rulers should possess principles as broad and liberal as the area of our territory; The love of our whole - common; country is paramount in his heart, and he la bors to have her ' power and re sources developed by the ballot-box in the hands of loyal men.

Republicans of the Various counties in meetings and conventions of the' party, it is proper that an expression ofpre ference be made as to the choice of persons who are to be candidates for the various positions. It is im portant that the Republicans of . - the. seconel district should unite upon spme one for Congress whose position as a man of known intelli gence, of extensive information and vji bieruug pnno'jj(f win ue a guar antee, not. only for favorable and successful candidature, but ajsoas a representative of whom the peo ple pf the second district will feel proud. .Yhiie the second district may not beable to boast of asmuQn of this sort . of material as some others, yet we are not devoid of it. wan , gre-a. pleasure tnat i uiuuuui a geuueman in me 1 person of BOX GEORGE W.

Enjoying, even before the war, a reputation for superior intelligence arid elevatetl social position and in tegrity, which have been, i mproved by years of age and, experience since, he justly occupies a position among'the prominent 'men of the State, and would, therefore, well sustain the character and "dignity of a representative oi an inieingeni and palrioticohsituency. u , . ny cooicp ne is a success! ui iar- A . ?!

His integrity, sense of propriety and unyielding devotion to principle render him unfit to be a driveller, a time server or wire-worker, pro moting schemes for his own mere self-itching3 for official promotion but, on the contrary, fit Jiim for a high-toned, Natriotic representa tive. Mr. StateWhas been an' early uniform, outspoken Republican, although living in a Democratic county. For his popularity he has repeatedly been selected as the Re publican standard-bearer in his C9untywhen --an adverse majority, ottwdor three hundreel and an un-) welcome prospect stared him in the face. Yet his devotion to principle has t prompted him to make the sacrifice ; in so noble a defence of true principles as to reduce the ma jority against him. His ability as an efficient stunip speaker as at tested by various Democratic ora tors, has rendered him a formidable opponent in eVery contest in which he hag eugaged. And he will be amnIv abie to cone with anv com- j 4.;i. v-.. .. ;nof I (icuiui -iiai iiajr uc set u y iiaiuow him. How many are there of our so called leaders, Mr. Editor, who would, as Mr. S. has done, have thrown themselves in the breach at the prospect ol defeat ? Yet George W. Stanton, actuated by principle,, was the man to obey the wishes and render the services demaueled by his party. It is therefore, but due to him as well as to the party, that for these noble sacrifices the Republicans of tho second district give him this position which they have undoubted power to bestow. They can bestow it on none worth ier -none more useful as a member of Congress. The most momentous political campaignn is now at hand, and it become lis to make tho most iu dicious nominations, and that all our ambitious "leaders'' yield a ready and hearty suuport to them for the good of the cause they pro fess to love. The great centennial presidential elections are to take place this year. Our State and county elections are also before us. It becomes the Republicans of the Shite, and of the respective elis tricts, to put forward good and pop ular candidates who will not only carry sufficient strength for a full vote in their own district, but also by their position, in all respects, to strengthen our friends in other sec- lions of the State. An unscrupulous enemy will not fail to usex against can Electors, and other voters, with us any mistake we may make in out regard to past "party affiliations our nominationsjto create prejudice whenever they can. Let us, there fore, nominate such men as will strengthen and not weaken our ticket. The several Congressional candidates will be all over the State, on Dotn sides. i. mistake on our rt would certainly work to our I r " detriment, inen as wise men we must avoid that mistake, and as patriotic men we must yield readily and make the sacrifices on the altar of the common good, whether our friends or ourselves shall be re- quired to give way. I repeat, Eastern men will canvass Western candidates, and Western men will canvass -Eastern candidates, in or der to effect the general vote. Let us be careful, then, seeing the dan ger of careless and unadvisable nominations, that we respond to the demands of the highest impor tance, in this great pending con test, and in this largely Republi can district, select a candidate whose influence will not be against us, but whose position and influ ence will tell in our favor and be a source of strength to our friends throughout the State East, middle and West. If we love Republican principles as we profess to do, bet ter than favorites or selffishness, let us prove our professions by our acts, and come promptly up to the support of those men who will re flect credit, honor and strength upon our ticket all over the State. For Congress we, the Republicans of the second district, upon whom rests a very great responsibility, can do much in the discharge of this important duty by the prompt and unanimous selection of Hon. GeQTgQ w stanton of WiIson coun ty, as , our standard bearer in the approaching campaign. Let us go forward and do if. ' Equal, Rights. .
