Armed with the sword of Truth, he will proudly bear our flag in the coming contest, and the people, on the first Thursday in August, will elect him by a rousing majority. The President has Benjamin P. Avery as China, vice Low. nominated Minister to The Republican who panders to Democratic principles by appoint ing Democrats to office, must look to those he serves for future honors. Injustice to Maj. W. A. Hearne, Superintendent, and to lion. C. L. Cobb and Judge Thomas, it is pro per to state for the information of the Republican party, that Ma J. W. A.

The credit ors of the State, for four years have asked the Conservative Legislature, What are you willing to assume to pay on these bonds ? Let us know, say they, and if it is anything In reason, we will accept It. But the Conservative Legislators and the Conservative political economists of the press are too busy In the Inves ticration of Federal finances to be- stow any attention upon those of the State, affecting as the latter does the interest and prosperity of only twelve hundred thousand people, and amounting only to some thirty or more millions of dollars. No, say our Conservative Legislators, this is a matter of but little import ance, compared to the inflation of s. the currency : let the State creditors sue tho Public Treasurer and the Auditor, and cripple the adminis tration of the government, and heap cost3 upon fees and fees (our politi cal friends pocket them) upon costs, we will wait: there is plenty of time, and as soon as we settle the Inflation of the currency, we will turn our august and profound at tention to this little matter the people are so foolishly clamorous about. Since tho above was penciled, we have seen the JVetcs of a late date, which paper, in an article on the State debt, consoles itself that a large portion of it was created by a Repu'pyiJLegislature. True, and ror thLtfcffcssness of aMowing it to be crew y promiteiit )0n of both parVes, the Republican party paid, byTosing the legislative su premacy'in the State. That is the price we paid for that ; and although we do not pretend to be prophets, yet we can tell the Xews, that the Conservative party will be called Trustee "ah Clerk of thtrSenate without violating the Constitution ?

It is amusing to hear Democrats raving about t their " honesty,' when their chief manager, Boss Tweed is in a New York Pen i ten tiary for stealing. It is amusing to hoar Democrats tell what a glorious time we are all to have when they get , into power when we remember, the dark days from 1861 to 1865 when they were in power. .., , , It is amusing to see the Demo crats of Virginia sending a default ing State Treasurer to the .Lunatic Asylum instead of the Penitentiary in order to save tho reputation of the " all honesty" party. It is amusing to hear Democrats crowing over the result of the elec tion in Connecticut, when it is re membered that is the place where all the 14 wooden nutmeg yankees" live, whom the Democracy have - - w w - been cursing so bitterly for years as 4 thieves."

Ten, out of the sixty-four, of the so-called Trustees of the University How the Democrats Respect tho Constitution. The Democrats of North Carolina could not lie easy in their beds until they got the Constitution of the State amended so as to prevent any person holding any office or place of trust or profit under the United States, or any department thereof, or under this State or any other whether they belong to the Repub lican party or the Republican party belongs to them.

In pursuance of a call Issued by the Republican Executive Commit tee of Martin County, a large and enthusiastic mass meeting assem bled in the Court-house in Williams- ten, on April 9th. The meeting was organized by calliner John Watts. Esq;., to the chair, and appointing W. A. John ston, Secretary.

To Vie Editor of the Era : When a man is appointed to any important public position, under the State or National Government, the presumption is, that the recip ient of such appointment has either been an active worker for, or is in sympathy with the party in power, or is appointed for some peculiar qualifications for 'the position. I take it that all who are familiar with party tactics '.recognize this as a well established rule. Taking thi3 view ' of matters; . I would respectfully ask upon what grounds has -Mr.1 John Spelman been appointed to the position he now holds under the United States Government? What has Ae done for the party? Has he ever man ifested any sympathy with the Re publican party? What peculiar qualifications does he, possess Tor the position he now holds? , . I make 110 personal attack oh Mr. Spelman, for personally I am on good terms with him, but of all men In North Carolina, he is per haps the most objectionable, politi cally. With all the malignity the man possesses, I would prefer to see Joe Turner the recipient of an office from the hands of the Republican party, rather, than John Spelman. Can Republicans and Union men forget the course of this man durinsr the war? Can we forget his course while associated with the Sentinel n the Convention campaign of 1871? Can we forget his blasted Blasting Powder of 1872? Can7 we orget the abusive articles he wrote ior tne aenimec not one trna orA 9 A working man by profession, he Charlotte jail. jjus twtju inu uiiwr cemy ui every working man who ever dared aspire to any position abover the hum1 drum of shop life. He has never done anything to advance the in terest of those of his own class, but, on the contrary, has been the polit ical slave of that class known as the cod-fish aristocracy. He has never written a line, or spoken a word in behalf of the party at whose hands he has received an office of profit. A true and tried Republi can has been removed to make a place for this Mr. John Spelman. Are ' Republicans to ne insulted in this way? Does the Republican party belong 'to "one or two men that they are to submit as slaves, and Democrats to crack the whip of office over their heads? If the Erogrammeis to be that indicated y such appointments as Spelman 's. then it is time the Republican party against Southern Republicans which have been dinned into our ears are all true, which is by no means the case, the Democracy of New York under the leadership of William M. Tweed have been guil ty of more corruption than all the Southern politicians put together. Not to go back into history, the condition of affairs in the Southern States to-day is quite as good, so far as good government goes, as in the North.or West. Let us look at Missouri. For two years that State has been in the supreme control of the Democracy. It has a Demo cratic Legislature and a Democrat ic Governor. If the promises of the opposition were worth any thing, which they are not: if the Democratic reformers were real ly sincere in their professions, which they are not, here was the State where the golden pledges, so reely and loudly proclaimed, might be redeemed and fulfilled. But what is the result ? The State lias been robbed and plundered in the most shameful way: the city of St. Louis has one of the worst governed communities in the coun try, and apparently, so far as the protection of life and property is concerned, there has been no more restraint, no more fear of the law within her borders, than upon the Indian frontier or the depths of the African continent. Missouri has been for two years, and is to day, the South Carolina of the North and West. It is time there was an end of these attacks upon the Southern States, and the Southern people ; that Nothern statesmen and poli ticians should reform the abuses in their own section and leave the States of the South to take care of themselves, to manage their own affairs in their own way.
