There have been continual stealings by Democrats in different parts of the Union before and since the war. The Democratic Sheriff BucnAXAN, of Jackson county, stole all the taxes paid by the people of that county for one whole year. His securities were Ijot ajjlp to jqy what he stole, and SQ the fciAlelokt it. The Demooratio County Commissioners .of said county took a straw Umd from said Sheriff, so he col-Ipx-kvI the taxes of tte county for ono year, aud then went off to Georgia as a Kiod Democratic reformer! A.C. Latham, the Democratic Regis Urof Ieeds for Beaufort county, is a itpfaulter for a large amount, and is a I lemocratic reformer. Joiix Peebles, the lato Democratic county Treasurer of Pitt, county, is a, defaulter for between $3,000 and $11,000 of the common school ironey, raised by taxation fur the education of the poor children of Pitt county. Peebles is a Tildeand Vance reformer. He is In dicted ov.Pitt county for embezzlement. Joiiff FXUkixex, late Democratic Sheriff of PitVconnty, is a swindler and defaulter for $Jj(XX).

This scoundrel has never been punished for his crime, neither has one cent of the money he stole been xe- funded to the government. The amount was $75,000. j Gilbert C. Walker, an Ex-Gov. of Virginia, and present Democratic mem ber of Congress from the Richmond Dis trict," was president of , the Exchange National Bank of Norfolk, Virginia Simon Stone. Collec internal Rev enne made a snecip therein of a naplracn contairv'' sLx per cent. gOld-beanw bonds," which fact was evTuj-he marks on the envelope containing them. Stone died, and this $2200of bonds hits never nen heard from.'. althoUffh his heirs have repeatedly tried tq obtain them from this virtuous bank ex-Pres- Ident. He is a blatant Tilden reformer. Stephen .D. Pool, tlie Democratio SuDcritendent of Public Instruction of North Carolina,stole the Peabody school monev from- the. poor children of the QfotA ml has since lied about it most outrageously. He published to the world that he would return the money he stole about the 30th of June last,-but he has not yet done so, and never wUL The Democrats do not want himpun Ished for his dishonesty and rascality, because he still wears the Confederate irrav. and is a blatant reformer for Til den and Vance. Col. Pool was the only Democratic State officer in North Caro lina, and thank God he is the last one. For the want of time and space we must desist from presenting many more Democratic thieves to-day. Wm. M. Tweed, the special friend of Samuel J. Tilden, the reform candidate lor President, was convicted of having stolen about t6.500.000 of the taxes of New York city and was sent to prison. but his Democratic menas soon turned biin out. The present Democratic Sher iff allowed Tweed to go to his own resi dence, and go up stairs unattended, to see his wife, and thus allowed him to leave, and the reform Governor, Tilden; has not found time to investigate the tmtrage of letting Tweed escape, or to remove the Sheriff from offi, as he has the power to do. Thomas C. Fields, another Demo cratic Tilden reformer, got an appro priation from the Legislature to the amount of more than $100,000 nominal ly, for the benelitof the tiremen, but he actually stole every dollar ot it. He btoie the $100,000 appropriated for If VI taceol fVii a the court-house, and the Democratic Sheriff let him run away. And he is a Tilden reformer. VANCE HORRORS. J. W. Hays, Esq. ibrmer Sheriff of Wilkes county, shows in a letter of date September 8, 1875, that the Home Guards under Gov.'Vance's orders committed the following crimes during the late war: The murder oT a Mr. Boyle,'in Alexander county ; the hanging of a Union soldier on the Blue Ridge, rn Wilkes coupty, whobSd escaped from Salisbury prison ; the hanging and fob bing of old man Leonard Miller; the banging of the girl Mary Clantou ; the account of the same having alffitf y been published, which corresponds with the sworn evidence on the trial of the case in court. The capture, inhuman tor ture and murder of five Union soldiers on Hunting Creek, in Wilkes county. Thfse soldiers, had escaped from the Salisbury pent and were on their way to the Union army in Tennessee. yTh murder of Jesse Caudill, and three oUer persons near New Hope church, one of them being a boy under twelve years of age. These murders were com mitted on these people alter the surren der of Gen. Lee. The hanging of old man Wesley Nichols. The shoot jng al attempted murder of Mr. Hays himseif, and the robbing oi his family. These outrages and murders, with many others, are well remembered in Wilkes county. Indeed, they can never be forgotten. In addition to these hor rors in Wilkes county in 1S74, Capt.

Ai-d when in the last convention campaign they saw that the people of North Carolina did not want a convention,5 and would not have one, they telegraphed down to Rob eson county lto hold Robeson and save the State." And how? By fraud. Diies not that bear the ap pearance of fraud upon: its face ? And what did the Democracy do when llobesori did save the State to that oligarchy? They elected a man President of that convention by his own vote lt of itself a shame upon hnmanirv anf1 thft n(Vin!,mf humanity and tho good name of the Old North State.

No ; they proved that I w.ts an aboli tionist, lie aimed mat blow ak my. head. -I supporteil r Stephen itrA.

This man then whom I and my friends, the union loving people of the state, helped to elect. in due time ' went over horse, foot, and dragoons to Jeff Davis and the Rebellion. . Vance abuses carpet baggers. . and , stirs up the bitter devilish , hate of section. I want to show you that he is doing more to retard North Carolina and hurt her prosperity than any man that lives in our borders. in reply to the charges I made against him of his persecution of Union men, he said that the laws he found upon the Statute Books were odious, and that he felt that a militia could execute them under his directiorkmildly. And whe.i he tasked Jeff. DMs and plead to cet his troops out of the armv. I "asked him tokeep them in. Vance You don't mean to sav. Jud ge, that I put the conscript laws upon the Statute Book?

He pub lished a letter during the war a Curse upon his own neonlfi that. was worse than the curse unnn Pharoh. Here is a letter of his in which he requested troops from Lee to make war 'upon the people of North Carolina. This war ho fought under the black flasr. Lee sent him infantry, and Vanoe in structed them "to laJce no nrison- ers," and those deserters who re sisted the arms of a usurping gov ernment must therefore be shot. Thi3 is what he calls a mild execution of the laws upon the statute books..

Cheers. Vance then arose and commenced the old Tilden whang of -reform. He referred, to the fact that some liar (liar) had misrepresented tho recent outrage upon Judge Settle here and' harped on it for ' a long time, when It is known that the re port of thatoutrage wasundeniably correct, lie tried to say that it was a crowd of idle ,drunken boys, fcc. He spoke of the late order of Att. Gen. Taft a3 intimidation. Ho went into a harrangue about exp6nses,and to the reporter, seemed to forget. that the government comprised :s States instead of 15, at the time ho alluded to. He accused the Repub lican party of being a negro party, and; attempted to connect Gram with the whiskey ring. He reiter- ated his abuse of Northern men, and tried to get up a cheap applause by holding up a bottle with a grass- hopper steeped, in whiskey, but wasa't successful, lie called: upon the colored men to vote for him, at Raleigh iu opening the canvass,) ' and gave as a reason that ho had defended them incourt withoutcoiL pensation. He admitted that North Carolina wTas a Union State. Ho eulogized Horatio Seymour, and wound up by comparing himself to that able statesman. He thought it was a shame for Settle to bring up Gov. Grahani. Settle I did what you never did, when I voted for him since tho war. Judge Settle then resumed, and spoke for thirty minutes, and completely exhausted Vance with his masterly argu men ts,sho wing his cruelty in forcing seventeen year old boys into the fight, lie alluded very touchmgly to the outrages of the Democracy in Jones county, when a poor negro was the only ono in the county who would take. care of a pauper, and he laid tho blamo at the doors of the white men of that county. Vanco then replied in a short talk, and .the large assemblage, numbering 4,000, dispersed. Tho effect of the discussion was fine, and Judge Settle, by his gentlemanly bearing, noble traits, and statesman-like views, has won many votes. A prominent Democrat hero concedes a Republican majority in this county, and Republicans say, put down Mecklenburg for 300 Re publican majority. B. D. S. XIIK IXDIA.VS.
