Taking the arrangement of Senatorial Districts by the last Legislature, alto gether, by our standing table, we put it in the very best light for the "Demo crats," it is susceptible of being made. The population of- the State by the Census reports under which the Sena torial Districts were arranged, is 1,071, 461 souls. The population divided among fifty Senators would give an average population to each Senator of 21,429. But to the thirty-two Conserva tive Senatorial Districts the Leg islature allotted an average of 20,899 Short to each Democratic Senator . 530 Now, to each Republican Senato rial District this same Legisla- r ture allotted a population 6f 22,371 Proper average, 21,429 An excess over proper average, a -latinn to each ReDublscan Senator, of ' 942. Taking the average population al lotted to Republican Senatorial Districts 22,371 and abstracting therefrom the av erage populations in the Con seryative Districts, 20,899 we have each Republican Sena tor representing a population of 1,472 more than the Legislature has permitted its Conservative Sen-' ators to represent. . i ? This we sav is the verv best lisrht thn matter can be placed in. It is the best pnase oi me gerrymander, we aslc tne public to examine -hup it closely and prepare their minds for the exhibition of infamous gerrymandering we shall proceed to give them from time to time, reference being always had to the facts and figures contained in and suggested by the table standing above. How; the Legislature Stands Politically. Senators from Districts which now return Republican majorities, 38 Senators from Districts which now . return ,4 conservative " majorities, 12 Republican majority, 26 Table the House thus: Representatives from counties which now return Republican majorities, 78 Representatives from counties which now return " conservative " majorities, . 42 Republican majority, . 1 36 Summary of Both Houses: Senators and Representatives from Districts and Counties which now return Republican majorities, 116 Senators and Representatives from Districts and Counties which now return " conservative" majorities, 54 Republican majority on joint ballot, according to the voice of the people, 62 So, according to the voice of the people, as last ascertained, we have a Republican majority in the Senate of 26 and in the House a Republican" majority of 36 Making a Republican majority on joint ballot of the General Assem bly of North Carolina of 62 Senators and Representatives together.

The close of the National Campaign of 1872, with the re-election of President Grant, is a NEW ERA in North Carolina, the South, and the whole country, it is worth while to take note of, for it marks the beginning of an era of perfect Peace and Reconciliation throughout the whole country and between every section of the country. Believing that " peace hath her vie tories no less renowned than war," and that the conduct of the Southern people may be as illustrious in peace as the bravery of her soldiery teas noble, grand and thrice illustrious in the late war ; and that iri the person of Ulysses S. Grant, the soldier with whom our LEE crossed swords, we have living and illustrious example of the victories and renown of the soldier in war, and the civilian in peace. ' ' " T:' H:-E!
