We were mistaken in saying in our Tuesday's issue that the hill to distribute anna among the several Stale had passed, hut would be defeated by the adjournment. The hill was defeated in the House not withstanding the fact that it was coupled with other important mens nres. lo our Kepreseiitative, Mr. Hoyden, is doe the credit of having defeated this measuio fraught with with so much evil to the people of the Son there States. We were also mistaken in saying that the time in which debtor could avail themselves of the benefit of the bankrupt lay without pT'np fifty per cent, of their indebtedness bad been extended to the 1st day of Jane next. It has only been extend ed to the first day of January next. Persons contemplating bankruptcy would do well to remember this. G EX. BLAIR'S LETTER OF AC CEPTANCE. A abort time before the meeting of the New York ConTention Gen. l J, Mair wrote a letter en political affaire to a Mr. llmadhead which was Tery generally copied by the Southern Democratic pre, and with which most reading men are fa miliar. We did not publish the letter for the reason that we could not approve of the propositions which it contained, and istaass we regarded it as miaehieTou in its tendency. 1 be proposition that it would be the duty of the President elect to declare the Reconstruction Acts of of Congress null and roid, compel the army to undo its usurpations at the South and disperse the existing Htate govern ment there, was, to our mind, revolution ary. The consequences ot such action would certainly be worse than the evils we M now suffering and we could not think of giving it our sanction. We are as anxious t be relieved of the existing State gbrenuneuts at the South as any i be, bat we are opposed to any of redress. If tbe aouree recommended in that letter should be adopted it would certainly re sult in the Mcxieanhtation of the South era 8 tales, if net in something worse. 1 1 would be a precedent which would be resulted to tir the Republican party when it again acquWdpower, and between the twv parties permanent restoration would mWee be Sawctssli Aaareby, bloodshed and civil war would be the order of the .day until constitutional liberty would dhV appear forever frem this continent. These proyiaitiiui aeesa to he too clear tor ar gument, and wed not hesitate to say that if the New York platform had en dorsed that letter it wwaid have split tbe Cuusm vatlr nasty ta twain and enaared Use triumphant sjaetisa of Gen. GranL Rut fortunately for the country that tad was to wise and too patriotic to endorse any thioAT of the kind. Solar from aadorsine the duetriue therein vanrod by Gen. Itlair, m hi letter to M llmadhead, that the President elect must tkrlarr those acta nail and void and compel tie army to dieprnm the existing Slat govern man U. And the Convention tained Andrew Johnson by passing a vote of thanks to him, and having sustained an opposite policy it of coarse, in effect, repudiated that proposed by Gen. lilair Nor does th platform even remotely look to any such action. Gov. Seymour holds no such doctrine, a we know from his Cooper Institat speech. It is true that the ConTention nominated Gea Itlair for the We Presidency, bat nominated him upon its esrn platform, and upon that platform we support him. We observe that some of our Slate exchange continue to publish extracts from the let ter of which we have been speaking, and they could not do any thing batter calcu lated to defeat our ticket in North Caroli na If the letter to Broadhoad was an derstood to be a part and parcel of the New York platform there are many the as aiids of white men in North Carolina who voted the Conservative ticket at the late election who woald not support Seymoui and Itlair, bat who will support them on the platform upon which they bow stand, Sach being our views of Gen, Blair's letter to Mr. liroadhead wo have been waiting anxiously to see bis letter of ae eeptance. That l-tter we publish to-day and after reading it we cannot but believe that the first one was written hastily and without due retlcctiou. In the letter which we publish to-day he accept of the nom ination with the platform, which he cor dially endorses. Us opposes every thing like revolution. He recognise the high functions ol the Supreme Court in the premises, and says that it is not revolo tionary to execute tbe judgment of that Court. He proposes to remedy the evils under which the country is suffering by peaceful means, and says : "The appeal to tbe peaceful ballot to attain this end not war, is not revolution." Upon the whole the tone of the letter is widely dif ferent from the first one, and will, we hope, remove the apprehensions of many r or we know that many able men in North Carolina who are constitutionally conservatives, and who bare heretofore acted with the Conservative party, would prefer the election of Gen. Grant to any in to earry out to proposition asm tained iu lieu, itlair s letter to Mr. timed- head. THE PROSPECT. It too early in the campaign to form any very definite idea of the result of the pending contest, bat the enthusiasm with which the nomination of the great states man of New York has been received by the Conservative masses of all shades of opinion warrants the belief that we shall achieve a splendid triumph. And this opinion is greatly strengthened, if not eon firmed, by the desperation of the Republi cans. The bill to distribute arms among the several Stales is a measure prompted by Mar of defeat alone, and the country is under lasting obligations to our able representative, Hon. Nat. Hoyden, for the powerful opposition which he made t it, and which resulted in the defeat of the measure. Tbe bill to deprive certain Southern States of their voice in the Elec toral College was prompted by the same motives. The notice bill now pending in four -State Legislature Is another measure of the same class. And when we take into consideration the magnitude of the issues, involving nothing leas than th restoration of the Union and th preservation of the Cons ti tuti'in, we cannot doubt that the enthu siasm now manifested in behalf of our can didates will rapidly increase. It will con tinue to swell in volume until it will ex eeed anything of the kind ever before beard of in the politcal contest of this country, culminating in a complete over throw of radicalism and radical rule. And in the event of ek - victory- a we anticipate we may reasonably hope to be relieved of the revolutionary government which now curse the Southern States, and for the restoration of the constitutions and governments of 13to-'C6. If tbe next House of Reprc sentatives should be largely Democratic, as we believe it will, it will commence tile work by rejecting all the members from the South who claim their seats under tbe reconstructed governments, in tot ac tion it will be sustained by the Executive Department of the Government, which will refuse to recognise said goTernments, as it now refuses to recognise ' them. If then, any decision by tbe Supremo Court can be obtained that the reconstruction acts of the last and present Congresses are unconstitutional, the House of Repre sentatives And the Executive Witt be sus aet j tained by tbe people of the nation with so torth the Convention, by iu action, did in much unanimity and aeal that the Senate fact, infi-fi to. Tbe doctrine of the will be compelled to give way before the Conservatives is thai tbe Supreme Conrt storm f popular indignation. n this alone can dotes siiiis the Cnnstiialissml wy only do we see a perfectly cotutita jajtolijsef axon f Congress, add that -' tionally mode of red reus, and are not 'til 'ih tribunal decides that s uch sets are ilhom the strongest hopes that it w ill be tiflitasl taw Executive is bound to aceomplisaeo in tins way. It it true that it haa been found difficult to htoi sach decisis from the Sspiemi Court heretofore, and th Chief Justice in the event of the necessity to enable it to carry out its revolutionary designs, was prepared to subvert even that high tribu nal. Bat with such a decision demanded by the voice of the nation, supported by the popular branch of Congress and the Executive, there can be no doubt that the opinion, which it la well understood is held by a majority of the judges, will be promptly rendered. HON. NAT. HOYDEN. We direct attention to the extract from the proceedings of the Mouse of Representation of the United State which wo publish to-day. Every true North Carolinian will be grati fied at reading the noble and manly remark of onr representative, the Hon. Nathaniel Hoyden. He ha stated the caae fairly, and has given utterance to what every ono know to be the ti nth. JIo ha raised his warning voice against a measure fraught .with incalculable e v LI a mean ore which means war and bloodshed. Every patriotic son of the South must rejoice that there was one representative from thoir section, eminently fitted for the task by rea son of his venerable years, hi great ability and hi past political record, to plead their cause. The bill, the merit of which was under discussion, ha passed both Houses of Congress, but will fail in consequence of tho adjournment of the two Houses, which took place on yesterday. The bill to exclude certain Southern States from the Electoral College will also fail from tho same cause. Congress will meet again in September, however, and they may then bo revived and passed. In Salisbury to organise a colored Sey mour and Hlsir Club Every encourage ment should be extended to the movement by oar citisens. We bid them God speed. COL JOtlN T. DEWESE. Hie penplo of North Carolina are under obligations to Col. Deweso for his recent speech in Congress on the bill to distribute anna among tho several States. Nothing which lias ret occurred will do as ranch to make reconstruction ridiculous in the ere or nil thinking men at the North R this very ridiculons speech They can now see iuto what sort of hand the guverament of the Sonth THE MASS MEETING. Don't forgot tho mas meeting of the friends of Seymour and Blair at the Town Hall in Salisbury on Satur day. It is important that all parts of the county should bo represented. In adition to tho ratification of tbe New York nominations there will bo im port an t business to be attended to. A Stato Convention of tbe Demo crate and Conservative of North Carolina ha been railed to moot in Raleigh on tho 14th of August, and delegate must he appointed on Sat.. nr.lay to represent Rowan in that body. It will also bo necessary to appoint delegates to represent. Row an county in a District Conrention to nominato a candidate for the 41st Congress, as mi election for Congress will most probably bo held at the same time with the presidential elec tion. We hope that it is nnnessary for us to make an appeul to the Democrats and Conservatives of Salisbury and Rowan county to attend tho meeting or. Saturday. We hope that all are alive to the importance ol the occa casion and that we shall have an old fashioned gathering on that day one that will convince onr opponents that we are dreadfully in earnest, Speeches may he expected from F, E Shober, J. M. McCorklo and others, There will bo no meetiug of the Club on Saturday night, as hereto fore annonnced. The. regular meet ing of tho Clubs will hereafter tako place ou every Monday night. ern States have fallen, and what kind of representatives they will send to Congress. And Deweso is but a fair representative of bi class. We cannot wotider that tho Democrats and ConservatiTe received his peecli with manifestations of dot light, while more decent republicans were compelled to hang their heads in ehauie. We hope Deweso will lose no opportunity of addressing tho House, and that his" sKcches will be reported and published in all the Northern papers of both parties ; since ho is there wo are desirous of seeing him do some good.' Give Them Hope Enough and They Will Hang Themselves." The extremely proscriptive course of Gov. Iloiden is doing more for the Con servative cause than all the efforts of tho friends of Seymour and Itlair. The ap pointment of so many iucompetenl per sons to office, without distinction of color, is disgusting many Republicans, and the appointment of Mayors and Commission ers for the various towns in the .State in stead of giving the citisens an opportuni ty of electing them, as provided for in the'r charters, is bat adding to it We sincere ly hope that the State-polic bill not pa because it would disturb' the peace and harmony of the State, yet, if it does pAs, wo feel sure (but it Will greatly damage the radical party. Verily, the party seems to be bent on its own destruction end the sooner tbe better for the best interests of the country. HON. JOHN POOL To this gentleman belongs the tin evitablc distinct on of having defeat ed tho passage of a bill removing the politicul disabilities of all persons who had been elected to otlice in this Statu at the late election, and many other,-. And that which renders tho act the mote detestable is that he at first pretended te the author of the bill, Mr. Hoyden, that he favored it Immediately after this, he went to COIBEI DEMOCRATS AND CON SERVATIVES. We are not among those who arc IraJ fastidious to make an effort to secure a portion of tho colored vote. Tho inter- eats of the two race are net Antagonistic, but identical. 1 o carry tbe Mate at the November election we most secure the votes of many wbo voteo Against us at tbe Ute State election. We most bring to our standard many wbo have heretofore bene rsdicAls of one race or the other. We Are for getting all we can from both races. n this we are happy to know that we are not singular. The Charlotte Trma, a p. Raloigli and, as a matter of course, had n conference with Got. Holden and the other representative of tho Radical party iu the legislature. He then telegraphed and wrote back to his colleagues that it had been agreed that the disabilities of no man should be removed unless ho secured the ro commendation of the State Execu tive Republican Committee. But for this conduct of Mr. I'ool there is li'tle doubt that tho bill would have passed. At least with his assistance the bill could have been gotten through. Pool, and others who sustain him, are but "heaping up wrath against a day of wrath." The present condi tion cannot last, and when the change cotnes ihey will meet with the scorn and indignation at tho hands of the people which their conducts merits. They will yet live to curse the day which gave them an odious and pres cat in us assendency. THE BANKRUPT LAW. We learn from a private letter, re ceived from Hon. Nat. Hoyden by one of his friends in this, place, that i no i, me mi which uuisurb inuy avail theuii-elves of the benefit of the Bankrupt law, without paying fifty percent of their indebtedness, has PERIODICALS.
