Tn the lUfor of The Omstilution : On Saturday, the 17th day of June, I70, there will be a meeting of the Republicans of lkrtie County, at Windsor, in the Court-house for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Republican State Convention to be held in Raleigh on the 12th of July, lTi;, ami also to the Congressional Convention to be held in Kdcnton, (,'howan county on the 2iM of June. - l7a;, and to transact such other bus iness as may come Wfore the Con vention for the good, and for the advancement of the Republican party.

WimNor, June ."th, IMG. oM Dan 1 nil, the same who edits that vile and scurrilous sheet called the Southern Joiie, is talked of as a Democratic candidate for Super intendent of J'ublic Instruction.

Pjo1 don't step I down from efVue pretty soon, we will conclude that his hide is about as thick as a Rhinoceros, and his face as bra sy as a preserving ket ' tie. The Win.-lon Sentirfel goes ftr him ns follow : " The charge that Col. S. D. Tool, Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, had u-ed a portion of the lea I oly fund for his own use has been made for sometime, anil none of the -ards puhii-hed by that gentleman have ;.: jsf.ut.irily explained away that charge, and if Mr. I'ool cannot make a clean thing of it, he had iM-ttcr resign, and if he does not take Ihi- .-tcp of his own accord, the State Convention when it meets on the 1 lh of June should ask him to 'Ii'mi. The Democratic party can not afford to go before the people witji anything but a clean record, their friends as well as foes, should - fully understand. The Daily News in a late issue ays that the moral as well as the material welfare of the nation re rcquircs the ascendency 'of its party. Well, now, we don't know so ' well about that, certainly so far as North Carolina is concerned. We do know that the Democratic party has o. State officer only, and we d'j know that he is a confessed defaulter to the tune of about tico thouiCiud rice hundred dollars. Now, upon the simple rule of three thismondity proposition would well rather badly for the people. There are seven State officers, including Lieut, (iovernor, to be elected this y ar, and, if one Democratic officer steals two thousand five hundred dol lar. on a little otUsklc transaction what would the crowd steal count ing in the State Treasurer? We don't believe 'tliere would be hardly anything left of the capitol roof at the end of four years. So far as inoralifi in its strictest meaning is concerned, we will turn the prob lem over to Ronitz of the Messen ger for consideration. e will find faithful alliesamong the men who opposed a Convention last year, if we are wise and pru dent.

Can the News be so foolish as to bellevo the people of North Carolina have for gotten the infamous and insulting editorial entitled, Vital Error," in which all who thought proper to differ with the revolutionists were formally read out of the party ?

For the past few months we have given unhndltd license to our friends throughout the Htate in or ordr that overv section should j have a chance to present for the consideration of the .Slate Republi can Convention the claims of the diflVrrnt candid ites for oflice.

In future we must bj the judges of whatever communicf tions may be sent us for publicatior and shall be governed almost er i tirely by the brevity of the matte? sent. It may be proper to state 1 1 our irie:;ds, that repetition of,tb names of the same parties for offi( I cannot consistently be allowed, an if such repetitions are insisted upo ! such communications will fc charged for, according to the:'' length. . We hope that our past litjeralit is sulhcient evidence that we dc-j siretl to give as wide a scope as pof sible to our friends, and that notlr ingbut necessity compels us nowio restrict them. I ! Which is the Party of Corrni tion. Notwithstanding; the fact, thi i s-jme ct the leading press of tie Democratic party have protestei J against the conduct of Stephen I- Rool, Superintendent of Public It st ruction and demanded in no ur mistakable terms his resignation the office he has disgraced, yet, W R. Cox and those associated' wit him on the Democratic State Exe utive Committee have made n public protest or in the most remol degree, so far as the people of Nort ij Carolina are aware, condemne't - him. The people have waited pi tiently to see what action the Con mittte would take in the premise, - There can be but one conclusion to this matter, and that is. that Col and his committee, if they do n(t openly endorse, at least acquiesce il .A ll Pool's infamous conduct, and thj'. ifact that they do si, is inferentifl, evidence that they believe thera selves backed bv a large tortloo. f not a majority of the I JeinocrauJ party of the State. L It would be well that our friend . throughout the State note ibis fac We have claimed that one of thv! grea t d i 1 IV re n ces between 1 1 1 0 JU publican and the Democrat ic part, was, that the former punished eo)- ruption wherever or in whomsoeve found. When Republican official are found to be dishonest none arj louder in their condemnation c use more efforts to punish ithert; than Republicans themselves. When it was known that Relkna had used his official position to fui-i ther his personal purposes, althoug it was not a case of defalcation an I, notwithstanding the government nor people of the United States los nothing from his misconduct, yd. the Republican press and theleac ing members of the party generall. demanded at once that he shoull resign and that he should be pet upon trial. There is no instano within our knowledge in which thj Republican party have encouraged corruption among Its officials in tli most remote decree. Our patrict President put his foot down flrmH in this respect, and upon the. first hint that the taint of mal feasance had been discovered upon those o -ficially connected with his ailmir istrat ion, declared that no guilt r man should escape. - " i ; Compare the action, then, fellow i citizens of North Carolina, Vf th Republican party with that of thj so-Cilletl party of "wealth, iptell genceand honesty." When Twee. the giant swindler robbed the tas -Da vers of New York City of over eight milil&s of dollars, it is trui i that in order to amieasQ temnorarIIwlth-the .Cabinet tho Supreme lv the in.linntinn nf n ontrn w I --0f carccrated in prison.

After a short period, and when t was supposed that. the affair ha 1 1 sufficiently blown over, Tweed vt j by the connivance of a Democrat 3 1 Sherifr allowed to make good jbis e cape, and it is said with some cho of authoiity, that this Demc ratij swindler is now at large wl.a tl -tacit consent of Governor Ti! 1 prominent candidate for the I ;: cratic nomination for Preside Li. j A few vears ago Mayo, the 1' cni cratic Treasurer of Virginia robb the people of that State ofalarj sum of money.

Jsoonecan deny, that all parties Vmwc bad men, but should a party not be jndgetl from the manner in which it treats the corrunt in its ranks? We say, that the action of the Democratic State Executive Com mittee in relation to the defaulter Pool, is in MTfect keeping with the antecedents of th;rt party, and while he stinks in the nostrils of all h on est rri en , 1 1 icT 1 )emocra tic State xeffflt e l?m t em t tetrTro-t ve" endorsed him and through them ihe so-calUl Democratic party at targe, should receive the execrations of all who love honest and gcjl government better than corruption and misrule. . Hon. Thomas Settle. The National Ilepubllcan of a re cent date contained an article In re lation to Judge Settle, which was calculated to leave the impression that that gentleman would not ac cept the nomination for the Vice Presidency, if tendered him, and that this determination was based ?more or less by him on a concession Hof inferiority in Southern Republi cans to Northern Republicans. We .have no idea that it. was the inten tion of the Republican to produce ;this impression, but, it la neverthe less true that some of Judge Set tie's friends have been so impressed by the article referred to. We feel sure that Judge Settle's I position in this matter is as follows: lie regards the Republicans of the Lwhole country as equally attached Uo the government, and equally de- Jtermined to preserve it at all haz- w l- tt i i . tr,.-i ority in Southern Republicans, to Northern Republicans; for, white Hhe great body of the Northern Re- H publicans fought to preserve the Union, and incurred veryr great sacrifices of blood and treasure to flpreserve it, yet at the same time there are Southern Republicans who also fought and made sacrifices under the national flag, while the great body of them have endured, tand are now enduring such fiery (trials on account of their devotion I to the government as have not been 'encountered and endured by many cf our Northern Republican friends, iSoilth(,rn Republicans, in a word, iM 1- have as much in all respects to at tach them to the government as Northern Republicans have, espe cially when we remember that their pafety, if not their very lives are in volved in the continued ascendency lof the national RcDublican party. But while Judge Settle would vJ&l complimented by any vote that might be cast for him in the the tational Convention, and whilo he DuIUrvt refuse a nomination for !phe.. Vice Presidency if tendered hiim, yet he deems such a result as ot at all likely to occur, and, on grounds of policy, he believes, with the great body of our Southern friends, that neither of the candi- ates should be selected from the outh. The Democrats will not isk a Southern nomination, and there is no binding reason why the Republicans should incur the risk. ;We must lay aside every weight, ' A A 1 If L I no maner now7 apparently ugnc, in order to win this race. In fine, while Southern Republicans ac? knowledge no inferiority. to their Northern brethren, and feal they kould trust themselves, and deserve tto be trusted with the administra- ion of the government, yet they refer, on grounds of policy, and rom their nrofound anxietv to say nothing and to do nothing which ' A 1 A ' A jgni icnu even remoieiy 10 em- ass the cause, to leavo these- ion of the ticket to their North ern, Kastern and Western friends, both the nominees to come from the three great divisions of the country referred to, and not from the South. fThe Southern Republicans are not (disposed to ask for anything at this crisis which might be calculated to put in the jeopardy to the slightest extent tho great National cause. They will have a right to expect, however, after the victory shall have been won. that4 their claims Ishall be considered . in connection tCJourL bench, and the diplomatic in regaru 10 wiixcu iney feel they have not thus far had full Pjustlce. But meanwhile our motto should be, "Every thing for the cause ; nothing for sections or for men.11 We must defeat the Democ racy at all hazards, and thus per petuate the government which Washington established, and which Lincoln and Grant and the loyal people have preserved. ' We have Scotched, the Snake; not killed it." A close observer of political events will hardly fail to admit that a most imminent crisis in the history of the country is at hand; j It Is, one too, involving, not only the se condary questions of who shail pre- side over the Nation a chief mag- is rate for: the ensafng four years. or which of the ; two great political parties of the country shall control its destiny for a stated period, but, uu a Question, which, in our oolu- Ion; wllT settle. if not forever, cer tainly for many years, the . very character of the government Itself. In short, ode of the main questions to bo decided the present year lay whether we shall continue a free, enlightened liberal Republic, or, whether we shall relapse into the state of quasi republicanism which prevailed before the war. . j The teachings of the Democratic party for the. past ten years have been sufficient to convince us, that tbey are in no manner reconciled to the 8tatos- of things as settled by the late war,- At every favorable opportunity they take special pains government and do not hesitate to declare, that at an. opportune time tho whole fabric; of reconstruction y1llDelDverUff0wn remanded back to the domination 6flhcewhofor; upwards of -'thirty years planned its overthrow. ; The Democratic party is fast drift ing back to Its former condition. The letters ' of jthat party have again made -the ; welkin ring wun the old cry of M an united South." Senators from their scats in the House of National 'Legislation are again bold and defiantmd threaten tho government with a solid Demo cratic 'i vote i fro.i t;the Southern States. They are endeavoring by all means at their command to again stir up .sectional feeling and thus 41 fire the i Northern heart." ; s In their wild schemes Tor power they aro promised the substantial aid of Northern Copperheads and traitors, and thus, the ball is rolling on which if. not checked by the idecis I ve rebuke of the loyal people of the country will bring upon us another. and, we fear a more . terrible strife than that from which we have so lately emerged. M J - The; sum and substance of this matter is, that the .spirit of seces sion Is still alive and its flames are being fanned to an alarming extent. The present House of Representa tives is already as unsound in many respects as any Confederate Con gress that ever assembled in Rich mond. It is not only so, but it is a more dangerous body, because of the fact, that It commands more facili ties to strike down the liberties of the people 1 : . . Now, if with one branch only of the General Government in the hands of such men, we are threat ened with, the overthrow, of all ; the great principles and measures secu red by four years of; bloody strife, what would not the Democratic party do If the entire management of National affairs should unfortu nately be entrusted to them ? This is a question well worth studying between now and November. It is a serious question, and it becomes the loyal American people to pon der over it well before final action.
