THE LEGHLATITa RACE.
It is junnsing to hear ring demo
crats telliyou, that Messrs. Gudger
nud Jones are going to be elected,
and when asked by what majority,
they reply, "it won't be large."
Wc rather suspect that it won't.
won't.
Gentlemen of the
machine mark
our prediction; Richmond Pear
wm's majority in Buncombe will
not be less than oneZthousand.
THE COXOHESAI03IAL RACE. j
Prom information received from
all -sections of the District the suc
of Major llaKme i, definite
cess
assared. j
Indeed it is now only a question
of majority.
This is indeed cheering news and
will carry joy to the hearts of thou
sands of the freemen of the Oth
Congressional District who are dis
gusted ffith the methods ot sham
democracy and desire to return to
the purer and better days of the
Republic. Mr. Johnston and his
friends see the handwriting on the
wall, and have begun to misrepre
sent Major Malone, hoping thereby
to deceive thepeople. Gentlemen
your little game wont work. You
hare deceived the people too often
to hope ever to do so again. They
understand your methods too well,
your doom is sealed "you hafe
been weighed in. the balances add

JonKSTOS'S bxcobj
Capt. Johnston two years ago
promised to repeal the Revenue
Law. Did bos do it! He certain
ly tried (!) for he voted for Carlisle
for Speakera Kentucky Whiskey
riogster. The people of the 9th
Congressional District are too in
telligeut to be fooled by Tommie
even though the Baleigh News and
Observer may support his candi
dacy. TUB OPPOSING PLATFORMS.
The principle which distinguishes
Mr. Pearson's candidacy in the pre
sent legislative race . from that of
Messrs. Gudger and Jones, Is es
sentially his attitude on the ques
tion, of the stock-law, and bis atti
tude on the stock law embodies, to
our mind, the fundamental princi
ple of all purely democratic institu
tions, the principle of local self
government. The respective plat
forms are necessarily determined
by the political principles which
the respective candidates uphold.
We jadgo a man's political princi
ples by the record bp has made, for
we can not possibly know a man's
political opinions outside of his re
cord. It is folly for a candidate to
say, "I am running on a platform
of democratic principles," if his re
cord in any important mutter is to
tally antagonistic to every prir.ei-
pie of trua democracy.
It is folly
for a man to say, "I am a dcmycraUc
candidate," when he holds opinions
aud advocates a policy utterly sub-
versive of that principle, dearest of
all, to every true democratic heart,
the sovereignty of the people the
sacred right of local self-government.
It is folly for a man to say
I am a democrat," when he has
shown by his record that be has no
? I no tion of,
may change his political name a
thousand time, and for a hundred
purposes, for social respectability
or for pecuniary aggrandisment,
but a mere change
of name does
not make him what be holds him
self out to be. To be a democrat,
a. man must stand true to demo
cratic principles. To be a republic
can, a nian must stand true to re
publican principles. You may call
black,' white, but the change in
name does not change the color.
You may call Mr. Gudger a demo
crat, and Gen. Jones a democrat,
but democrats they are not. Why!
Because they have shown by their
records that they have no concep
tion of, nor respect for democratic
principles. Aud how have they
shown that! Bv totally abroga
ting, In -the passage of the
stock-
Ut and their subsequent efforts
to force it on the people, without
their consent, and against their
will, the life-principle of democra
cy, the right of the people to gov
ern themselvjes.
The Gudger-Jones platform says
to the beonie, m eaecc, "e
passed the stock-law without bav
in? nreviouslv discussed it before
jou, without ; knowing your wishes
on tne suojecc, ana caring eveu
less than we knew,"
Mr. Pearson's platform says, in
effect, to the people, "You are the
better judges of the advisability of
a stock-law. and I am anxious that
J0U shall have the opportunity of
determining it lor yourselves in the
exercise of vour honestv and mtel-
ligence, and where it will benefit
yon, .you may have it; where it
will injure you, you may reject it."
The one ,is the embodiment of a
uriuciple abhorrent to every free-'
man's heart; the other embodies
the most sacred principle - of free,
popular government. The one em
bodies tyranny j the other freedom.
The one is essentially despotic; the
other essentially democratic. 'The
oue is wrong; the other is right.

Gen'l Bombast Does my col

Sir Richmond Not at all I know
the gentlemenj to be incapable of dis
honest act, I only wish to say, that
my conception, of the bill, is this
derived from conversations with my

That only certain townships who
desire the law,' are to be embodied in
the bill, and that the outside town
ships are exempt.
Gen'l Bombast The, gentleman
doth state correctly the purport of
my bill, and he ! may rest assured
that no advantage will Ibe taken of
any township; whichmay 'desire ex
emption from the law. ;
