Preparations arc goiiiK on to make tin celebration of the adoption ot the consti tution by the people of North Carolina one of the grandest in all its details cvet had in North Carolina. It is intended ti enlist if possible the interests of t'lewlioli State; to draw to it its orators, it statesmen, and its great men of all de grees, to make it splendid with its mili tary display, with its music anil its ban ners, mid to adorn it with the substan tial element of material prosiK'rity, tin substantial fruits of sure and solid peace by associating with it the joint splendor of the Cumberland county agricultural fair. And to these will lie added the bril liant attraction of the United States Ma rine Band, with its 108 instruments. The central figure of the occasion may be Jefferson Davis, the honored ex-President of the Confederacy, not as a re minder so much of a lost cause and fruit less aim at separate government, but as grateful remembrance that mistortuni had not brought the shame ot defeat upon him or the cause for which all suf fered alike, and gathered together agaii they may sympathize in past niislortum and proudly show to the world how splendidly they have improved disaster not as abject, self-conscious rebels, but a equal American citizens still true to tin principles of self-government. And it was stern adherence to thesi principles that retarded the adhesion oi North Carolina into the biudingcompact of the I'nion into which all the othei Stiites but one had promptly entered. She would not surrender without guar antees that tor which she contended st long and so desperately, in the field ami in the council. Not even then were ah satisfied that thev had secured all lot which they fought and counseled; anil the events of the past quarter ot a cen tury prove the justice of their apprehen sions. But this is not the place to deter mine whether feeble isolation in the hide endcnce of commonwealth existence is better than the strong unity of the cen tralization which now threatens. In regarding the coining celebration as enlisting the interest and the co-operation of the whole State of North Carolina, il is interesting to note how small a portion of the State, in relation to population, was involved in the acts of the war ol the revolution or the discussions connected with the adoption of a form of government. West of the Catawba river the country was scarcely divided into counties, with set tlements only at rare intervals. Heyond the Blue Kidgc, from the present Hun combe line to Cherokee, there was prac tically no white population. Buncombe county, the only western county laid oil in the mountain section during the last eenturv, was not formed until four years after the adoption of the constitution. The most populous counties of Western North Carolina were then embraced in the present State of Tennessee, over which North Carolina still held jurisdic tion, out of which counties came many of the North Carolinians who made their valor so effective at the decisive fiht ot King's Mountain. Now that wilderness territory is filled with a thrifty people, adorned with pros perous towns, traversed with railroads, and in position to take a very active and exultant part in the Fayetteville celebra tion. We hojie manv of them will be there. We are glad to add in this connection that Mr. David M. Vance, associate ed itor of the Asheville Democrat is one ol the marshals, and we hojie will lie pres ent. THK TOWN OK WKHSTEK, What the Webster Herald says of its town, as quoted below, is true. Avery short branch of railroad will bring it into direction of the line of travel and traffic, which, when the Western North Carolina Railroad is completed to Murphy is des tined to be great provided the world holds on in its course. If it does. West ern North Carolina is at present only on the threshold of its greatness; it is only just beginning to see daylight. A genera tion henceitwill lieamong the best known, most prosperous and populous parts of the State. The towns we have spoken of will all tee) the new impulse, none more so than Webster; tor its location is a line one, its scenery attractive, and its henlthfulness unequnled. We are in formed, and so far as personal observa tion extending over eight years goes it is true, that there has been a case of fever in the town. But as the Herald truly savs the advadeemeni of this place must begin from within. All depends upon the ene-igies nnd unity of purKse of its own tKoplc. The Herald says: What advantages Highlands possesses in locality, position, healthfulness nnd picturesqueness is held by Webster, in all but the latter in a preeminent degree. All that is wanted is to make them use ful by calling them into local activity. The people of Webster must do this themselves. They must take hold of them and expand them and make them locally useful, which can be done by a much less effort than wag used in the building up of Highlands, and by ' a greatly divided work instead of by the labor and perseverance of one single man. Webster has the advantage of Highlands in that by a little effort a railroad, at small cost, comparatively, can be built right to the town's border. Why will the people of Webster not: wake up to their interests before it is too late. Jl STICK TO THE CITIIE3J, The following remarks of the Murphy Bulletin, connected with i mments on a recent article in The Citizkn does our paer no more than justice. In the past, through its whole career, and in the pres- nt, Tiik Citizkn has regarded Western North Carolina as the "apple of its eye," whole, and in all its parts, without partialities and with equal concentra tion of interest. It is a fascinating suh jeet, so adorned with all the richest gifts of climate nnd scenery, that in speaking of nnv and all of it, one might be sus pected of being carried away on the wings of enthusiastic imagination, if we were not able to fortify ourselves with he citation and presentation of so many iolid tacts that imagination might droop lier impotent pinions. When all that lias lwcn said about the mountain country has been said, then must be candidly ulded "the half hath not been told." The llullettin says: Tiik Citizi.n has alwas show n a spirt' f friendliness to this mountain section, md in behalf of our own people, we will ,iere remark that Tiik Citizkn is loved ind cherished by them, for it is doing, uul has done, a noble work, not only or Asheville, but this whole western sec tion. We find in the News-Observer the ii formation recently brought to light by ihe Washington Capital that Simon Cameron, Lincoln's secretary of war, left in the war department a map of the Southern States as he designed they should be alter they became conquered territory. All these States were obliter ated, and new lines given to them and new names to secure the oblivion of the )ld ones. No doubt to make the effacc- mcnt of old forms and institutions com plete. they were to have been known as dukedoms and earldoms and marquis- ates, and over the new order of things was to dominate supremely the impcrini crown, as subsequently shadowed forth by the outcropping of Cit'snrism, and the ispirntion of President ('.rant for a third '.erm. The party now known as Repub lican is the direct inheritor of the princi ples of Federalism, a construction of tlie principles of American institutions lean nig as far from the ideas of Democracy, or the government ol the pcopleus it was possible to strain them. A strong gov ernment was what was sought after, and that was in the government of the cw, and the subordination of the States. This idea has been adhered to, ami had its illustration in the inception of tin ,'rcnt civil war. They are adhered to now in the eli'orts to bring about cen tralization whether by peaccfulor violent means, by paternulizing the government and winning over the people; or by throwing oil the mask as Sherman and 1'onrgee propose "by torch and turpen tine" and sei.mg the pretext for loicible in tervention, and pi. tilting permanentocen oatiou upon desolated, ravaged ground; or else by making a bold clash at liberty itself, seizing her by the throat, stilling the constitution, ami directing the result ol elections under the shadow of Federal bayonets. Hath and all, these are Republican ideas and plans. Happily, the American instincts of liberty are not effaced, and. ii the issue be made, not only Democrats, but Republicans themselves, are prepared to meet it. It cannot be a party matter v hen the people comprehend the fact that Ircedoin and free institutions are at stake. We may remark that the humor of our friend Durly, of the Wilmington Star, is more fresh, unstudied, and spontaneous than .any we come across in our daily newspaper reading. It is there refreshing, because une.icctcd, and, scattered about through the columns, the reader comes upon it unwarily, as if a merry-maker had sprung suddenly from behind the door. There is no Joe Miller in it ; that's the pleasure of it; nothing cut and dried nor revamped. But we don't wish to ruin Duffy by telling him he is a wit; hc'sonlv natural; not a natural; far from it. (irccn B. Kaum, a familiar name a few years back as head of the internal rev enue department, succeeds Tanner as commissioner of pensions. A much siqic- rior man we take him to be. He was :i good soldier, a good lawyer, a man ot business; and, though a strong party man, is not so much a one as would sub ject it to the odium of the modes and methods ot his predecessor, which even strong party stomachs were forced to reject. Charlotte has been tackling the but glary problem, it might have been hoped successfully: for fifteen were captured, one convicted and sentenced to lie hung. one sent to the penitentiary, nnd others in a shy way in respect to the law. All ihe arrested parties were negroes. While the trials were going on, another burglary was committed. The cure is not yet effected. Dr. Parker Prays cream Van-Ola, Rosa line, Ongaline and Diamond nail powder having now become the ladies' favorites. at F. L.Jacob's drug store, these popular manicure articles may always lie found, together with pocket emery board, or ange wood sticks, nail scissors, files and other such requisites.
