No one that we have heard of objects ,to one single word the Governor said on that oc casion. It is only to the fact that be appeared by invitation before a meeting of citizens that objection is made. Does an election to the office of Governor elevate a man so high that he may not consult with citi zens of the State or county on mat ters of public importance? Must he mount to some imaginary pinna cle, and draw a visionary cloak of dignity around him, and sit there as a statue during his term of office? Is it not better that a Governor should appear before the people and give counsel worthy of the high place he has been chosen to fill? Dignity is only the state of being worthy or honorable, and we hold that no man is worthy or honorable who is not ready to give his advice and counsel towards the improve ment of the condition of the people. Such complaints of " want of dig nity," fcc., is all stuff, and they come with poor grace from men who on slight provocation bandy epithets and denounce those who disagree with them as "liars," cult to see where it will end.

From this statement, (duly certified as true and correct by Capt. W. W. White, Clerk of the Board of Coun ty Commissioners,) it appears that Sheriff Lee Is Indebted to the county as follows : Balance due Sept. 25, 73, $2,488 97 County taxes for 1873, 39,544 70 Public School taxes for 73, 14,210 89 Col. A. A. McKoy. A Correspondent of the Wilming ton Post calls attention to the Jour nal of the State Constitutional Con vention of 18T5, to show that Col. A. A. McKoy, the Democratic can- tlMte for Judge in th Wilming ton District, entered his solemn pro test against the ordinance repudia ting the war debt. In other words, Col. McKoy wanted the people of North Carolina taxed to pay the war debt. The writer of the article in the Post proceeds to ask the following pertinent questions : 44 If it was wrong to repudiate the war aeot in it is wrong now, and if he is elevated to the bench, and a creditor holding a war claim will present a petition to him ask- $56,250 56 I ing for a mandamus directed to the authorities compelling the levying of a sufficient tax to pay the debt, what would he do? This is one of the most important questions of the day, for if this tax will be im posed upon the impoverished peo ple, in addition to the present oner ous burdens now resting upon them, how will they be able to support their families and educate their children? The people would like to know from this gentleman what is his opinion in regard to tho constitu tionality of the reconstruction laws, the legality of the Convention of 1SG8, and especially his opinion of the retroactive effect of the home stead law. If, then, every effort of his life was to the recon struction laws, the Convention of 18G8, and the application of the homestead exemptions to old debts, and these opinions were honest and candid, will he, for the sake of of fice, ignore them all, and forget consistency : or will he, like Tyler, Johnson and Grant, when the ques tion arises before him, declare his opinions' fearlessly and firmly, and decree In his court that they are all Invalid, null and void, and that the Confederate' war debt is valid and binding, and ought to be paid Messrs. John L. Sharp and Geo. W. Stanton have been nominated as the Republican candidates for the Senate from Franklin, Nash and Wilson. Thoy are both good men and will receive tho entire Republican strength in those coun ties. Beaufort Countj'. The Republican' County Con vention of Beaufort County was held last Saturday. Hon. J. B.

The latest marriage ceremony, partaking of a wholesale character, at Brigham Young's 44 Endowment House," in Salt Lake City, is thus described by the Tribune, of that city: 44 The bridegroom came from the rural 44 deersticks," a youthful saint, filled to overflowing with the nurture and admonition of the Prophet Brigham. His prophetic soul informed him that it was not good to be alone, that the dilapida ted Kingdom sadly needed build ing up, that legions of fugitive spirits were hovering about his steps, seeking, with tears in their eyes, earthly tabernacles in which to repose. So he . did the best he could do under the circumstances. He selected three tender fair ones, and won them for his brides. .

In the opinion of the convention, the democratic majority of the last leg islature. bv consolidating into oneact its numerous propositions.to amend the State constitution, endeavored to force UDon the people a i'ailso issue, and to coerce them into the adoption of obnox ious amendments, anu insoinucn as all these propositions must be submitted to the next legislature for ratification, before the same can bo referred to the people, therefore. i Resolved,!. That the amendments proposed as a whole do not . meet the approval of the Republican party, be cause their adoption would subvert es sential principles of the: existing Con stitution. : 2. That Republicans can endorse a portion of said amendments and the next General Assembly may adopt such of them as shall seem best for the general welfare. 9. That we cordially endorse the administration 'of Gov. j Caldwell, and recognize the fact that our people may rely upon his firmness in upholding their : interests ' and defending their rights; and we heartily thank him for resisting the revolutionary purposes of those who designed to deprive the citi zen of the protection afforded by tho State Constitution. 10.

Total taxes, To this amount of Hfty-six thous and dollars due the county must be added ten thousand dollars due the State (or taxes for last year. This makes sixty-six thousand dollars charged against Sheriff Lee. The failure of Sheriff Lee to pay over this money to the County Treasurer has prevented the open ing of public schools, and has caus ed even the miserable pittance al lowed by the County Commission ers to the poor of the county to be shaved fifteen, twenty or oven twenty-five per cent. Can the honest, intelligent Repub licans of the County be censured for exerted in opposition refusing to voto to continue this Sheriff In office? Is there any thing un-RepubHcan In such refusal ? The Republicans of Wake de mand a faithful collection of the taxes levied by law, and a prompt settlement with the County Treas urer, so that public schools may be opened, the poor children educated, the witnesses and jurors at our courts paid in full in money for their services, and that those who have been reduced by misfortune or otherwise to the condition of pau pers may not have their orders for bread shaved down one-fourth by money-lending sharpers.

It columns are open to the friends of the part and their communications will be given to the public an containing the views and Kentimeutsof the writers.

We Republicans have a right to, and do feel, justly proud of our for mer victories in Davidson, for if ever a Spartan band was called upon to do battle with an unscrupulous and devilish foe, we have been, against tho former slaveocracy of this county, and each and every time we have made them bite the dust ; and in the last contest when called upon "to do battle for the right," led as we were Dy tne unev alier Bayard of our party the gal? lant Settle, we outdid all our former efforts, 1 and had it 'hot been for treachery - in our? division,'! that oentleman Would now have been our Renresentative in the couucils ofl the nation. Sneaking, of Xormer leaders. Mr. Editor, reminds me-to country without .attracting the at tention of their government. If the average immigrant is worth a thousand dollars to the country of his adoption, as it is.-claimed, it is fair to presume that his absence will be a loss to something about the same extent to the country he has left. There is cause, then, for jealousy and regret at the exhibi tion of an extensive emigration. Yet it looks like the very height of folly to resist these movements. People never will leave their native shores "and family hearthstones, vol untarily, without good cause, and where the motive exists it. is useless to resist the movement. People come over to the United States to better their condition, and they will continue to come in spite of all op position so long as. America affords a better prospect than Europe. It is said that the rural districts of England are now placarded with large posters informing the people that there. are 4Q.000 Englishmen in the United States anxious to re turn to that country, and caution ing intending emigrants against going to the United States. This deception is made all the more ef fective by the printed statement on the posters that the intelligence comes from Mr. Archibald, the British consul at New York. Mr. Archibald - was called upon in reference to the statement a few days ago, and. he unequivocally denied having made any such state ment, remarking ' that he does not believe there are four hundred Eng lishmen irf New York who would return to England If they had their I)assage paid for them. He author zed an unconditional denial of-the statement. , . nis . ciergs . were ques- tioneu oy me consul, ana they as sured him that no intimation of the kind originated with them, or with any one of whom-they have any knowledge. It was simply a dodge to deceive intendiug. emigrants, but it will be found out and ; ultimately act as an incentive to ... increase emigration.

Fall River, Massachusetts, pre sents a picture of prosperity almost bewildering, and shows a rapidity of growth which will be startling to those who know not what cotton factories can do in developing the cities and towns in which they are established. Dividends of one hun dred and forty per cent.; mill stock multiplied in' value ten times ;, the stock of a bank doinsr the mill bus iness exclusively, quadrupled in ten years. These are enormous gains, and they are the results of in dustry, not of speculation. And the profits outside the mills are enormous. A lot in Fall River which cost $1,800 in 1865 can now be sold for $33,000. In 1870 a junk dealer bought a farm hack of the city for 4o,000. There are now three mills on it, and it is valued at $200,000. Ten years ago a block of granite buildings was sold for $7,000. Three years ago, the city in widening the streets, cut off five rods from the thirty-six which were in the lot, and paid the owner $18, 000 damages. The remaining thirty-one rods are valued at $80,000. These figures show what cotton manufactures will do for the South.
