It hat not denied, however, and cannot dene the foot, that if tha Democrat, in Congrta. had voted on the universal anffraga amendment with the wing of tht Republican party that oppoaed it, tau amendment to lie reconstruction acU vonld kavt been defeated. It ii true bat they voted againat the bill at amended oaf they wen raponxibU for Die shape of the hill at the time the fmal rote woe taken. We did not, a tha Examiner thinks, say, "in so many word." that the Democratic party was wholly responsi ble for universal colored suffrage, but that the Democrat, in Congress were to blame, "at much at any one dee" for it that the blame belonged to UHh partita in Congress. It ha. been charged hundred of times, and never contradicted be fore that wt remember. The object of the Dem- cr.U in voting lor the amendment was, we nave no doubt, just what wa stated "to make party capital by making tnt measure a. odious a pos sible, and than holding tht Republican party responsible for it before tht country." If tht editor, of the Examiner will take the trouble to read the whole of Senator Sherman's speech, in which a full history of the reconstrucwB aot it given, they will ate at one why no one of the "implicated Senator" contradicted the etate iii en (s which he made. Ah to the charge of "recklessness," preferred Mtinat oa by the Kxammer, we leave it to oar . reader to aay whether the (M North Stale is "reckless" paper or not Tht charge certainly comes with a rather bad grace from a paper their Constitutions do not forbid theui to do." "Their" constitution do not "foriid" (heir en teripg into treaties of alliance with foreign pow ers ; yet every intelligent bey know, that they cannot do any such thing under the teachings of any Stater right school that aver ezuttd, and why. We do not, however, mean to dispute the fo am inr, 'i claim to be "the moat reliable newspa per published in Western North Carolina," It is a "tit paper," and no mistake. 4 In other thing, the "elf-constitutd wise men" who edit the Examiner have not been so reck less. They aay : "The denunciation and abuse We hear from the so-called Liberal, or "Liberal Republican" come of prejudice, only. They do not and can not deny tht fact that all the glory or prosperity this country has ever achieved was achieved under Democratic administrations." Of course not. They would no more think of denying the fact set forth in the above extract than they would think of denying that the Pilot Mountain stands at the foot of Main Street, in Salisbury. They readily admit, and so do all sensible men", that Washington was a humbug and his administration & failure that Hamilton was a fool, Marshall no jurist, Webster a sim pleton and Cfy noj statesman that the forma tion and adoption of the federal constitution, and the organization of the government under it, was not a "glorious" act, and that Clay's effort- to -a vp th Union and prevent secession and civil war were not only foolish but wicked. Of course the Democracy originated every wiaa and patriotic movement. Behold the evidences of it all around you i And belmlcf.too, the state ly and majestic proportions of the newly estab lished organ of the.party, the organ to which it was reserved to contradict the statements of Sen- ator Sherman after the "implicated Senators aad that the leading Democratic papers of tha nation ana faiind to de so the Atarmrsjer.

C0N8EBVATIVE MEN. Now. that th Radical party in North Carol! na is broken into "flinders," and any future or ganisation of its discordant fragments is a. little desirable as it Is Impossible, is tne time tor i ou servstive men, whatever their former party pre dilections, to meet npon s common pistiorm compromise snd union, and organise a party heard nnon the Drincinles of integrity, and dis carding "public plunder," seek the welfare of the people, ana tne honor oi norm varoiuia. Such a party, we contend, can raise the State from her Prostrate and dishonored condition and again re-instate her credit as high as it wa before tht war, and again give at prosperity. A majority of tbe people art honest, and all they want Is honest and capable men to fill the public offices, who will administer the Mate govern ment with an eve to economy, and not wasteful extravsmnce. such as has characterised the offi cials now in power. This, all honest men of whatever Dartv name, must desire and they oiurht to work together to that end. Let al lay aside party names party prejudice, and meet upon the broad platform of Principle and Justice. But let the people be careful and force all who have in any manner aided to reduce tbe State lo her present deplorable condition, in the halls of Legislation, or holding olhci.il position, to take back seats!

No other phrase ia our language ia to much ajkjtjgl as this. Aa beard from most men', lip. it mean, men without principle.. Whenever a clan of dubious poMllcttnt attempt to coerce men into tht eodorarmenl of men of questionable morality or character, thi. ia tbt formula em ployed. It haa been used so often and so Ions; that en would suppose that it bad lost all its force, but ever ana anon, wt set it at the head of a newspaper column or bear it from some pot Up use orator. It la Ih. shallowest attempt .1 de ception all tbt force the principle of a man have, is thai which his conduct gives them. It is impossible lo effect a divorce of this kind. It is only righl men that have right principlea. and this i a knowledge thai the people have gained in our country by experience an txperience that has been iatrnaified during the recent year, of uertwt and arbitrary power Whenever yon wish to find rflective principle, set k them em bodied in the life of a man. W hat art enact pies but sbrtractiona, but dead litter unless thry ar eel forth in a practice that is made to bear upon daily action upon private and othcial life. Wa advise ths motto to change. In it be men of principle sterling, hooeai end relia ble principle. trresnisere Republican. REPUBLICAN CON VENTION.
