MW T1""" --7" 4vance should not be insulted, and istratlon, they seek to insUll into r J 4. - nnA the minds of their hearers feelings of bitter revenge. f .Take for instance, tho campaign in which we are at present engaged, in North Carolina. What is the position of Z. B. Vance, the leader of the Democratic party ? Has any man, during this entire canvass, heard one word fall from his lipa laudatory of the Vnion of tho States? On the contrary has ho not taken every opportunity to speak In terms of contempt of the authors of the measures by which North Carolina at this time'liolds her place in the Federal Union? Follow him, as he goes from place to place, and it will be found that hi3 adherents are composed mainly of those who a few years ago en deavored to disrupt the Union, and most bitter hostility towards its stability. If the Daily Neics, and those for whom it speaks, are desirous to favorably impress Northern opin ion, thpy must radically change the course now pursued. They must, in the first place, exercise a spirit of tolerance for those who" love the Union, and exhibit by their acts that they cordially ac quiese in the changed condition of things brought about by the wTar. As long as they pursue their pre sent plans of political operations, just so long will they be looked up on with grave suspicion by the loy al men of all sections of the country and just so long may they expect to be deprived of the reins of power. There is another delusion wThich the leaders of the Southern Democ racy hug to their bosoms, and which will constantly bring disappoint ment to their doors. They seem to think that the Northern people are easily gulled by their simple proles tations of loyalty. In this they are, and will continue to be, egregiously mistaken. The people of the North are not to be taken in by a huge display of National bunting or new born devotion to the fourth of July. Loud Aises and huge pretensions will fail to hide from view Ku Klux attacks upon those who love the Union, and brutal attempts to hus tle loyal men from the polls. Scourg ing and murcg inoffensive men for opinion's saXewTl I go but little towards convincing Northern men that the Democratic party of the South entertain much love for the UnicA , The complaint of the Kettt that the North lacks confidence In the attachment of its party to the Union, is hardly natural, because It would seem that the course of its leaders, not only in the present contest, but for the last eleven years, ought to be sufficient to convince any man or ordinary intelligence that they are totally void of those patriotic senti ments which should actuate the American citizen of every section. It is too late now for the News and its party to gain much, if any thing, by a reversal of its course. That Is, it is too late to reverse the well founded suspicion of the loyal people of the country, sufficient to operate in their behalf during the present contest. They have now made their beds, and In them they -l-hnwftverthttt by commencing a genuine icAm notCy and instead of sowing seeds of disunion and discontent, implant in the losoms of their hearers zoal for ' A A ' T- ;- r J;- . :' .

S-t tie cn'this occasion. Tho Fayetteville nifcb iMholiglv fVsays Vtfiat- Judge, Settle has degrade mmseifln this campaign, and deserves the execra-" tioDjof all decent ,inen'' This, j Is In reference to what , the Judge said when he was rudely : Interrupted and Insulted by Gov. Vance's friends at Jonesbordugh. fAfew days.ber fore, - Judge Settle had protected Gov.' Vanco at Carter's Mills, at which place Gov, Vance was alarmed, because, as he said, certain Republicans had threatened to take hfm from the stum pand beat him. JadgO Settle and his friends, hear ing of this threat, at once nut their feet upon it, and Seclared that Gov. a resoectful hearing, and not adis- courteous word was uttered, by any of tho crowd in his: presence. But .Gov. Vance did not rise to the full stature of a man at Jonesborough. He feared the howling mob of his own friends,and rebuked them in so mild a way that they regarded his 'rebuke as a sorUof license to pro ceed with their insults. Judge Set tle was, therefore, obliged to speak of and to this howling mob as he did. f .The Gazette says Judge Settle shall have a fair hearing at Fayette ville,. but at the s$iine .time it says he deserves the execration of all de cent. men." What is that but an in timation to the mob to howl again ? ,We shall see what we shall see at MTonrpe, . at . JLiumberten, at JPhar lotteT'at Taettevirte, anr atolther places that are infected with South Carolina Ku Kluxism. As the cer tainty of Judge Settled election be comes more and more apparent the malice and hatred of the Demo cratic leaders towards him becomes more land more intense, and he is beginning to carry his life in his hands. One of the main objects of the Tilden and Vance clubs; com posed for the most part of passion ate and thoughtless boys, is to in sult Republican speakers and to "hustle" the people at the polls. Many of them swill whiskey, and curse and swear, and are ready, therefore, at all times to engage in disorders for the benefit of their leaders. Meanwhile the leaders stand quietly by and enjoy these interruptions and insults, and when they are called to account for such conduct, they lay it on their "im prudent boys." Now, Judge Set tle does not fear these 4,sons of Be lial." He will not quail before them. He wllkjprosecute his cam paign to theelici. and his friends willysustain him at ailpoints where he addresses the people,, and they will elect him by such a majority as will finally squelch all this vio lence, all this disorder, and all this stifled treason, which has so much disgraced, and which now disgraces our good old State.

What has he proposed or done for the improvement of the navigation of the Neuse, or Cape Fear and ueep rivers ? What has he proposed or done for ,the estab lishment of a national foundry for the manufacture of big guns out of the splendid Iron in the valley of the Deep river ? What has he pro posed or done to relieve " the people of the heavy tax on their brandy and tobacco? Nothing. And yet he has -the effrontery to ask for a re-election. - - He vociferated at Blaine. He stirred: up all the bad blood he could between the south and north. He drew his $5,(XX) salary and lived in luxury while his constituents were suffering.

T. Leach. In 18G5 he supported Holden for Governor against Worth. From that time for several years he gy rated around himself, like Bishop Lyman's wind-mill, until, fixing his eagle eye on'a seat in Congress; he made his arrangements to defeat Gen. Scales. About this time the Ku Klux arose. Leach saw it, Leach felt it, Leach availed himself of it. Leach saw Congress in it." It is said he made his way, one dark night, near Thomasville, ou a slow mule, to the sacred precincts of the order, in a thick wood, and that the Ku Klux boys were in the trees waiting for him. As he approach ed the awful place for iniation, the owls hooted and screeched, the thunder muttered, Leach's Jfreart thumped in his manly bosom, and the perspiration gathered on his brow. Suddenly scores of Ku Klux dropped from tlfe trees, Leach was seized and initiated, and was turn ed loose and sent away on his mule, so bewildered and dazed that he has never been able to recollect distinctly fhat , was done on that memorUble night. But his memory , was , good enough to enable him to state that ho was a real, simon Pure- Ku Klux, and the result jras that at the Democratic District! Convention soon after held, he was nominated for Congress over Gen. Scales, and afterwards elected. Itj was one of the best b'uhders Leach ever made. It is true, he has no very vivid re collection of it, but he regards it as one of his trump cards a sort of white day iads eventful life. Gen. Leach Is not pleasantly situ ated as a party m m. He does not like to mess with old seceders and unreconstructed war man. Such company goes against his grain. When the electons art over, and Hayes and Settle shall have been inaugurated, we predict that our friend Leach will gyrate again, and fall plump into the fold of the Re publican party.

Salisbnry prison ; the hang ing and robbing of old man Leon ard Miller; the hanging of the girl Mary Clan ton ; the account-of the same having already been pub lished, which corresponds with the sworn evidence, on the trial of the case in Court. The, capture, inhu jnan torture, and Inurder of five Union soldiers on Hunting Creek, in. Wilkes county. These soldiers had escaped from the Salisburo pent and were -on their way . to the Union iarmy in Tennessee. The murder of Jessee Caudill, and three other persons near New Hope Church, one of them being a boy under twelve years of age. These murders. were committed on these people after the surrender of Gen erabLee. The hanging of old man Wesley Nichols ; the shooting and attempted murder of myself, hav ing shot me and left me for dead, there now being several ounces of lead in my body. The robbing of my family of all their means of support, and their clothing, besides numerous other outrages of a simi lar character, the details of which Would fill a large volume, and it is a wen Known iacu mac. mis man Pen hell took a leading part in the onrmrriissinn of theSB crimes. -rf-' Hbffer is itbuntane-of evider at'hand to sustain . these charges, from which it would appear that there were in Wildes county, as Pennell says, a band of robbers, but they were not composed of desert ers and Union men, but of Vance's friends, and tools, led by Pennell himself. He afeo says "that nearly every respectable citizen in the country was robbed." If so, it was done by his company and that is the way he came to know it. ThQ'Xandmark says that Pennell was n eye witness to the hanging of Miss Clantou. He was also an eye witness to these robberies, and took & leading part in them as he did in hanging the girl and other parties mentioned above. Pennell says that his commanders had or ders to protect persons and private interests of the same. If so, they wre shamefully violated. The only orders ever heard of in this county, before this campaign, were orders from Vance to commit these crimes, and when any of this com pany were brought into court to be punished for their crimes, they never failed to plead orders from Vance in extenuation thereof. This was done, particularly in the case of the shooting of myself, and they were discharged by so doing. Pennell charges me with visiting his house, in company with others, after the war, and with abusing his family and carrying off his proper ty. ! It is admitted that a party of men, myself amonjj the number, went to his house after the war, but it was in search of the property, that they had been robbed of by this company, they having informa tion that it was stored at his house, but it is denied that they abused his family in any way. It may have been legally, but not mor ally wrong for a man to search for his own property. To show, as he say3, the utter de pravity of these men, he alludes to Joseph Minion, one of the party, and says that after the war he gave his note with security for 50 ceuts, in lieu of that, amount taken from one Fletcher. This voluntary res titution by this 44 supporter of Judge Settle," its he calls nim, shows him to be a much better man than the supporters of Vance, who vere guilty of like offences; for they never -made any restitution whatever; and when carried into court, always pleaded that they were authorized Dy their chief commander, Zibulou B. Vance, to commit them. Tnia man Pennell is guilty of another crime, which he failed, as yet, to plead orders from Vance. After the war, old man Miller brought suit against him for the outrages committed on him, and Pennell, by pleading. Vauco's order, got off ky paying costs, and an execution lur the same was , issued and pitteed in the hands of the undersigned, who was then Sheriff of WiIkco county, for collection, and he dtaiberaiei forged a receipt agaiusi tue ior a part of bald costs, iiiis lorgery lia t . r i r ) 1 1 na.1. ana were 1 1 uul tut m w leniency towards liiiri he would iu- day be serving a term in the Peni tentiary for his critiH This is the man who was the will irg"tool bf Vance during the war," to murder and rob the Union peo pie of Wilkes, and now comes to the front as a witness to " vindicate him,".and to attack and slander the people whom he muraerea ana tod bed, y He is. certainly tho proper man forhiswork. -"-There may be a few supporters of Judo Settle in Ihis county who havo been guilty of crimes, but they are t the xrimes or tne c inaiviauai who committed them, - and no re sponsibility for tne same can oe traced to the RepuDiican canuiuaie for Governor: but on the other hand, there ate ten supporters fpf Vance cuiltv of crime, to one of I Judge Settle's, ana tne responsiDin tv for a srreat many of theircrimes can ' and have been f raced to t heir (Signed) h j : VV 1 1 A .

C, Sept. 10, 1G , JSditor of the Constitution i I have learned that one H. G. Pennell, who hung me ddrlng the war, has publishea a piece "in the papers, in which he denies that he committed the crime. Alsosayihg" that he and his band had informay tion:that a den of thieves bad their; hiding ; place hear my "Another's house, and that w6 fed and protec ted them, and that when. they came to our house, we cursed asu abused themand that it was one Miller and another man who had orders. that took me out from the house, with the balance of the family, and only put a soft hank of cotton around my necK, but did not hang me, nor hurt me in the least. Now,' this statementof his is not so, and no bd'Jy would be mean enough(o tell sucn a lie and publish it, but the man who was mean enough to hang, a poor woman, as he hung me.; There were no thieves nor desert. ers about our house, and never had ! oeen. luy orotner anu several ; oi j my cousins aud friends were away in the Union army, ang did not get baclruntil the war was over ; and this is the reason: they treated us so badly. Now, the truth of this mat ter is, that this man Pennell and his band came to our house one morn- 4ng, and asked; where my brother ihej-weretoVd that my bo4:heAv I wroa onrt whfrrn -evnr . rrrn"ir wjq: and wnere away in the Union army, and that we did not have any money, we never cursed and abused, as he says we did, for we never cursed or abused any body. We are members of the BiptisV church, and have tried to live as we thought mem bers of the church should. They cursed and abused us very much ; said they would make us tell. They then dragged me out oi the house, and carried me by myself to the woods. My mother and sisters wanted to go with me, but they would not let them. This man Pen nell then put a large ox ropenhat he hai brought with him, around my neck. I was all the time beg ging tnem to nave mercy .on me, and not to kill a-girl like me, that had never done any bodyany harm. My plea for mercy was answered with mockery and abuse. Then they hung me up till I was almost dead, and then Jet me down, and asked me where my brother and our money was. I ans wered, that 1 could not tell, and begged them not to kill me. They cursed me again ; said they were going to hang me dead, and hunk uie up again, and then took me down, and cursed and abused me; aud then hung me up again until I was almost dead, then let me down and drew their guns on me, and said that if I told that they hung me, they wouia shoot me and kill all the balance of the family. I was hurt very much, and was confined to my btd for a long time, and I am not well yet, and never will be. The marks of the rope are on my neck yet, and I can hardly talk. If any body doubts this, let them come and see for themselves. After the war I had Pernell and others indicted in the court for hanging me, and he plead guilty, and got off by paying the costs. Tney told us that he had orders to do what he did, and that he had been pardoned. I also sued him for damages, and the suit was. tried in Alexander county, where I proved all these things, aud the jury gave me $500. Does any body believe that the jury would have given me $500, if 1 had not been hurt? Per ueil did not try to prove anything, but said that he had orders from Vance to hang me, and that he had been pardoned. Now, if there was anything against the character of my mother's family, ip? had two chances to prove it in court, but he could not find any body to prove anything for him, and I don't think that any body will believe what he says about us now. If Vance did give him orders to hang md, when I had done no harm to any body, he must be a very bad mau, ana ought never to be Governor again ; aud I do hope that all the women iu the State woo lost their husbands, sons aud broth ers in the war, uud especially those who were so cruedy treated by Vance'a men, jwill remember all itieatj-ihtugs, arid do all they can 10 Vanco ; i if. thisletlOirp-iorTieaT that if Vance is-eieeted, we will see mighty bad times again.
