We most eai neatly recom mend th;it the basis adopted by the Executive Committee will be carried out by the Convention; it, in our judgement,' being the best ' that can be adopted to secure unity itiid harmony. It hns been objected that the basis adopted gives too flinch power to the weaker tovvn ahips at the expense of the stron ger ones, but if the Convention adopts the three filths rule no one township can gnin any undue a'3-? vantage. The basis heretofore adopted in thiseounty is, no doubt, the fnpat equituble and J,he Committee-would not have departed trom it, had they not, in their wis dom, deemed it necessary tocoun ternr.t some disaffection in the weaker townships which was like ly to prove damaging to the best interests of tho party. Stop jour vars against the suggestions of croakers and weak-kneed aspj rants. Let the business of the Convention be transacted decently and in order. Let the people's choice receive the nominations through the people's delegates, then let all true Democrats rally to the support of the nominees, land political opponents and "indepen dents" may prepare to "hang their harps upob the wiHows." There will, of necessity, be some disap pointed aspirants, but we believe the majority, of these, if not; all, . will accept ihe"Vrtuation with ... graceful submission and holding' J the success ot the Democratic party above their personal wishes' will fall into line' and help achieve n j common victory, giving their ear nest support to the nominees and I sustaining ihcin with hearty good will to the cod.'' tlnrsnme.

OUR TRIP TO ROBESON, We readied home too late to prepare any notice of our trip for last weak's issue save a brief notice of the meeting of Fayetteville Presbytery at Iona Church, and as our thoughts by the way . have already lost much of their fresh ness we will no inflict upon our readers any extended notice. Early oji the morning of the 23rd ult. we left Carthage and an hour later joined our clerical friend Rev. M. Q. who had kindly offered us a free passage in his buggy to Pres bytery. As the faithful horse, "Sarah," jogged ofer the intermi nable hills, i '-. 'In various i:uk the instructive hours we passed." By appointment we stopped at noon for refreshment at the Jiouse of an excellent brother also a del egate to Presbytery, arid after par taking sumptuously of a splendid dinner we proceeded on our way accompanied by our friend and bis son. The progress of our journey was marked by no startling inci dents. Late in the afternoon we passed the cerje where only a few nights before, it was said, an attempt was made to arrest the uot&rious outlaw, John Lccklear alias Revels, but who after being shot several times at close quarters made his escape from four or five armed men. As the shades of even ing wore gathering we scattered, and having spent the night pleas antly with friends, proceeded on During this fore noon ve passed Stewartsville in Richmond county, near which is an extensive Cemetery sown thick with the dead and among them the parents and other ancesters of my traveling companion. We halted and-! spent a short time strolling' among the tombs reading the in scriptions on the monuments erect ed, to mark the last resting place df the departed. The McQueens, McRaes, McLaurins, Malloys, Stewarts, &c., are largely repre sented here. Many of the monu ments are of pure Italian marble, and we noticed several of very beautiful design, the handiwork of Mr. Buie of Shoe Heel, whom we heartily recommend to all persons wishing monuments handsomely Throughout our whole journey iit was pleasing to note the general neatness of the farm aod thCevi denies of persevering industry jn all their appointments. -If the sea-1 son continues favorable through out, the product of this year will exceed that of anyyear since the war. Puring Presbytery we en joyed the splendid hospitality not only of the church of Iona, but also of the good Mefhodist arid Baptist brethren in the vicinity who opened their hearts and bouses for the entertainment of Presbv- tery, which manifestation of broth erly kinkness will, we are sure, be heartily reciprocated by the church of Iona when opportunity offers.' We saw many whose faces were quite familiar in days of "Auld Lang Syne," but now so changed as to be almost byond recognition. Time has rough yonderfuTchan ges and w.hile we Know and feel that we are growing old it was rather comforting to be told by many that we are growing old qnite slowly.

M Waddell arrived mi this place on Sunday night last to spend two days with his family before going to New York to deliver his address on the Confederate Soldier, having as you are awara Been invited by 5000 Union soldiers to do so, they selecting the subject themselves. Mr Waddell was greeted on the streets by hundreds of people with a hearty welcome home. On Monday oight an immense crowd headed by ,the Wilmington Cornet Band presented themselves in front of his house, and demanded a speech. There was supposed to be 1000 persons present. Mr. Waddell showed himself at the door of his piazza and such a shout went up as has no(T been heard in Wilmington for years, He then commenced to speak by apologizing fohis inability to express his heart felt gratitude for such' manifestation of kindness from a people who had always ex hibited true friendship tovard him, and then stated that since reaching home he had learned that an alienation from him was being attempted by persons to him unknown and to him uncared for.

The matter was then left in the bands of the Executive Committee that committee waited upon him and invited him to lead the for lorn hope of overcoming 2500 majority: that with a notice of but a few hours and; then within 17 days of ibe election, he start ed out to meet the opposing can didate of the Republican party, Mr. Dockery.

Editors : You will please allow me a brief space for some remarks "And it shall; be, if the wicked man bo worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause htm to lie down and to be beaten before his faoe, according to his fault, by a certain number." Deut. 25. 2, The following note (Potter & Go's BibleV accompanied the above : "It is a remarkable fact that for the more ef fectual prevention of certain crimes, the most experienced magistrates and leg islators pf this l9th Century have felt compelled to adopt the Mosaic punish ment of whipping.'' tinish a man lightly and turn him hose and he will have some chance to reform. But lorg confinement, with hardened criminals will be apt to make him- ten-fold worse. In proof of this I will state that, not long ago I noticed, from a statement of some" newspaper, relative to Wells, Fargo & Co's ex press, that during the twelve months next preceeding, they had been robbed in round numbers of some $38,000, and had expended some $12,000 in appre hending and convicting the criminals Out of soma twenty-eight thus appre hended and convicted some twenty-two were old jail birds. An application of the whip soon after said parties em barked into crime would probably have saved them. STAND FIRM LITTLE DELAWARE. Some of your larger sisters will prob ably soon find it necessary to resort to the whip as the best method of prevent ing crime. CAPITAL SHOULD NOT BE MADE OCT melting' armies. In the good servative State in which I live and which was so averse to the coofliot be fore it was begun the number of sold ers exceeded the number of voters by six thousand, a fact which, I believe, is without a parallel. From the first fiht at Bethel to the last one at Beutonville she Was in the front line all the time, and her list of killed exceeds that of any other State that voted down secession by a decided majority. All this was, and with some of the Northern people( perhaps, is, still a mystery. The question has been asked a thousaud times how it could have happened that a people who were 30. much attaohed to the Union "and so overwhelmingly opposed to secession in March, 1861, should in Way following huve been enthu-iastio ia their determ ination to resist to the last extremity the power of the Federal Government? The answer to this question is very simple, and contains the whole philos ophy of the Confederate struggle. It is this : while the people differed as to the abstract right of a Mate to with- raw from the Union a Urge majority doubting if not denying such right and while they cotnbu'.ed bo much, thev were almost Unanimous in the.con- vWtion that if a-Rtato did secede the oilier States bad no right to use armed btorce to Hold ner. and that the nrst au ty of a citizen in such a case was to his own State. This had bean the politic al education of men of all paities, Holding these convictions as to the peo pie of other State?, they of course ap plied them to their own, and as in addi tion to their convictions, their interests were all on One side, they did. not hesi tate, when the issue was made, to take their position. And hence the Confed erate soldiers. HIS MOTIVE. ffhere have been, and still are. verv erroneous ideas as to the motives which influenced these men to take up arms Among them was the notion that they were at heact opposed to the form of government under which they lived and longed for a more aristocratic form The best answer to this is to be found in the fact that they adopted Hbc Con stitution of the United States aliiios verbatim, only incorporating into it a clearer statement of the relative rightaT of the States aud the general govern ment, and fixing the term of the hxec utive at six years and declaring his in eheibiUtv to a second term. A more common, but equally erroneous, ide was that they were inspired by a fanat ical loVe of the institution of slavery and were determined to risk every thing, their lives and fortunes, to per petuate it, and great stress was laid up on the utterance attributed to a distin guished Georgian, but was a gross this representation that the new govern ment was to be founded upon slavery as its corner stone.
