Gov. Vance also referred to the oft re pealed cry that it will cause war to at retics the injured party from the dutf of redressing his own wrongs, and place the redros in the hands of the State. It is entirely incorrect to suppose Inat the object of punish ment is tn reform the criminal, nr to make an example of him to deter others from crime. These are only the incident. The stream cannot rise higher than the fountain. The State 'possesses no other r'ght to in. flict punishment that the right which was vested in tho individual, and which right haa boon granted over to the Stale to enure iso. The idea ol punishment, (hen, is the idea of retaliation. It ia jut and right to retaliate, it uv more, it i of ten expedient not anfrequently neces ary.

HIS great card, howev er, was the cry of war and Blair's letter, nud he labored to show the people, that, tbe success of ihe Democratic ticket would produce iuteruiiuablc strife and bloodshed using chiefly . the childish arguments of (he Radical shoulder-hitter l'earson, and the loyal priuta generally. 1 his, we think. Gov. Vance most effectually demol our absence, had escaped on: notice. It is characteristic of the source from which it emanated and proves what haa long been believed that the vir tue of magnanimity finds no place in the minds or hearts of tho leader of tbe Radical party in North Caro lina. That parly, speaking through its organ, proclaims that it is still for war. It give utterances to feelings and sentiments which have found no place in the heart of men since tho world emerged from the bar bur ism of the middle ages. Who ever again expected to hear it proclaimed by a party, having the cnuftol of a gov ernment inafrea country, that person nl revcfiga was a religious virtue. Who ever expected to Yieiir a party openly advising Its members to ap propriate the proj.crty of their opJo. neiitsf Who ever expee'ed to hear a party to propose enormous taxation to build towns for the support of the thriftless vagabond among them?

THE NEW MILITIA. uGev.n Ilolden haa announced the appointment of eight ynine Colonel of Militia, for tho eighty-nine coun ties of the State, and they are assign ed to the command of their respec tive counties. Some of them are wall iu the "sere and yellow leaf' age, and will cut a figure on horseback. The carpet bagger, of course, are ia strung force in the list. But more, hereafter. "Adjutant General" Fisher call the attention of Colonels to section 9th of a previona circular tent them, of which we are not advised. Again he say : "If it i desired that a company of detailed militia should be organized in their respective comities, such a quest, signed by five Magistrate, should be at once forwarded to the Governor for hi consideration." Then, of course, we are to hare the " cursed militia," to be armed aad equipped, in every county where five oallawagor negro magistrates re quest it. That will involve said counties in a tax, of which tbe mag istrate will bear no part, fand great ly burden our already impoverished people. Let the people remonstrate with the authorities, where they know such an organisation will produce nothing but evil. Under the late-order of the Secretary of War aad Of Gen. Grant, it strikes ns that General Mihs will be bound lo prohibit i organization. presented to thousands of our citU lens, is to vote for Seymour and Blair, or starve But tttpposo they do not choose to vote for Seymour and Blair, and rather choose to lake the chance of starvation than consent voluntarily to their uwu degradation what then f Something mnst be done. The law of self preservation must necessarily be obeyed. Something must be doue at all hax .rds ; but the more quietly and peaceably it cau be done so much the better. The question then ia, can there be any remedy under the form of law t We think so, unquestionably. Of course it is not to bo supposed that men and women and children will starve to death while corn is still standing in the fields and while hogs and cattle are not kept under lock and key. But these are matters wminor importance and are to bo expected, however much the necessi ty may be deplored. What we mean is, that there is one clKtieut remedy for this wholesale crusade of opnrest sion carried on against tlie colored race to starve bim into voting against his choice. The remedy is this.
