Thkrk appeared in iheYadkin Valley jVeun, of last week, an article. with regard to the action of the late congressional convention at Yadkmville. ' As the arti cle does not represent the sentimentsj of more than six or eight persons, and is pot at all in accordance with the wishesj of Major Rob bins, himself, and as we have reason to believe the artiele was inspired, if not written, by another than the edijtor of the JVetcs, we do not deem it necessary to give it an extended notice. We will say this, however, that while we Kiay have our peisonal preferences, still, wen a convention, conducted according to par ty rules, has settled the claims of rival as pirants, all true Democrats the JVeu to the eontrary notwithstanding will fao eent the result, and assist in electing 4h I 7 - M ; !T 5" nominee. An exchange sayv a Texas man mar ried a North Carolina girl, and the couple walked 1GO0 uuloa of the way to Texas. You needn't believe it if you don't want to. The Republican candidate for the Pres-T ldtncy was not nominated because he could : bring to bit party a flavor tff loyalty which it otherwise needed. He was not acniinatei 1ecaus hii reco b a blan) oil 'the vital questions, which tbe people of this country : re miking ewnest mqal ries about ; he was not nominated as a mask, behind which forces could gather which tried to shoot the Government to f ath and which more lately threatened to "Starve the Government to death. But that's what's tbo the matter with Han eockj which nobody can deny. Union Rtpublictn. If we could arrive at some definite mi ners tand ing ai to what should coastitute a teat of loyalty, it would be be less diffi cult to cuter calmly into an argument as to whether Gen Hancock's nomination added the "flavor of loyalty" which the Dcmrocratic party "needed," or, wheth er, indeed, it needed any such "flavor of loyalty" at all. If we take the test applied by the Re- pvblic&n, i. e., loyalty to the Republican party, and the thieves who have made, in a large part, its history for the last ten years, then we confess the "flavor of loy alty'f is still lacking, and we most de voutly hope it ever will be. There is a persistent and determined effort upon the part of Republican editors and orators,' to confound the Government with the Re publican party. Why, for instance,; should it be deemed necessary to vouch1 for the loyalty of Gen. Jobuston, and not of Gcti. Longstreet ' Or, why should Gov. Jarvis be called a traitor, when no such charge is at the door of Gen. Ba; ringer ! As to the insinuation that Gen. H-ancok's "record ir a blank on all the vital questions which the people of the. country are making enquiries about," why that is only another instance of con founding. It is true, Gen. Hancock has no record as a legislator, but in proof of the fact that he has a first rate idea of the theory of our Government, we respect fully refer our contemporary to the fol lowing language, taken from Gen. Han cock's letter of acceptance, tithe bayonet is not the proper implement to collect the ballots of freemen," a lesson in the sci" ence of Constitutional government which neither the Republican nor its party seem .to have as yet, been able to learn. Again, the Republican thinks that Hancock was nominated "as a mask be hind which forces could gather which tried to shoot the Government to death and which more lately threatened to starve the Government to death," As to starving business, the record with which the Democratic party goes bofore the country was endorsed by Mr. Gar field, who, in offering the amendment to the Appropriation- Bill, regulating the appiontment of deputy marshals, fully recognised the justice of the demands made by the Democrats in Congress. If is was wrong in the Democratic party, it was doubly so of Mr. Garfield, as he is "one of the faithfull," and, it must be presumed, sinned against light and knowl edge.; As to the shooting part, we can inform the Republican that a sufficient number of those who shot to keep the Govern ment alive, will vote with the Democrats to make them successful, and that will be a sufficient answer to a charge whioh needs' no answer with sensible people. And cow, will the Republican please inform us why Gen. Garfield was nomi ta ted by the Republicans 1 Not, we should say, to give to the party the flavor of bri bery, corruption and perjury which hung around him like a garment, for alas ! that was already too prevalent. ILLUSTRATION BY PICTURES. One of the great contrasts between the School Books used by the fathers and mothers of the land, when young, and those now used by the children, is the use of pictures. As a curious instance of il lustrating the meaning of words by pic torial illustration, the pictures in the new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dic tionary in connection with the following twelve words, Beef, Boiler, Castle, Col umn, Eye, Horse, Mouldings, Phrenolo gy, Ravelin, Sups', Steam Engine, Tim bers, illustrate and define the meaning of more than 3410 words and terms, as may be seen by examining the Dictionary. The Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committe wants the names of all county and township committees, witli the names of the chairman of each and their post office. Also, the name and post omce oi one active democrat in each township. HEGE'S Feed Cutters. Cider Milla,and Improved Saw Mills, go to S. T. Mickey's, Mt. Airy, N.
