On last Friday morning the thrill
whistle ol a steamboat was heard, echo
ing and re-oehoiiig from the hills and
valleys of the Dull, and the jaunty lit
tle steamer "Lily id the Pan'' hove in
sight aud anchored just below the blidge
at tli-j foot of .Murphy street. The nov
elty of a real well equipped steamer in
our waters stou attracted quite a crowd
and a large number of our people has.
tenud to the "wharf" to welcome the
visitors. The hurt was oflicered by the
following in mod gentlemen : l>r. I.
8. iiydnor, Captain ;G. W. Ilatcmau,
Ist unit . J. T. Austiu, builder,-). V.
Lindsay, edginucr. It was propelled
by a 1:2 horsepower engine,and war "U

the bom in tiie evening and enjoyed n
short ride up the river and return. It
left about il o'clock for Danville, having
on board liev. an J Mrs. J. W. Jones
aud Miss Calliu Gabriel for Leaksville.
I'lie officets say that there wis only ono
place in the river which gave them
much trouble, and that was a shoal
above Lcaksvillc, which the Govern

ter wi.hout dce|>ciiing the channel. Now
it is made ported!)'evident to our minds
that bv an additional appropriation from

the progress made in popular education
upon the improvement and ciiterrri.-i
inaiiifesled in all parts of the State. \V
again challenge a comparison bctiveei
the state of things and the outrages
crimes and scandals which attended Re
publican ascendancy in our borders. Wi
pledge ourselves to exert in the I'utun
as in the past our best efforts to pto
mote the best interests of the people o
all sections of the State. Affirming ou
adhercnoe to Democratic priiie j les a
hertolore enunciated in the platforms o
the party, it is hereby
Resolved. That no government ha
the right to burden its people with luxe
beyond the amount required to pay it
necessary expenses and gradually exun
gttisli its public debt, and that when
cyer the revenues, however derived, ex
cecd this amount, they should be reduc
ed, so as to avoid a surplus in the treas
ury. That any system of fixation ivhtcl
necessitates the payment of a prcuiiun
of $-!"0 by the government on each ?>l,
OHO of its bonds, takui up with the mil
lions that would otherwise lie idle in it
vaults, and paid to bondholders win
purchased iu many instances, at les
than par, is utidcuioetutic,' oppressive
and iniquitous and should be refunded
The course of our Democratic lteprescu
lativcs in Congress, in their efforts i
give relief to the people from burden
sauic internal revenue and tariff taxa
tion, meets with the approval of tin
Democratic party of this Stale and vv
respectfully recommend that is they tim
it impoMsibU to give to the people all tli
relief they demanded, they support arc
just and practical measure presented ii
Congress that will uff»rd a practical re
lief from such existing burden.
Resolved, That while tho details n
the nirtliods by which the coustitutiona
revenue tariff-hall be gradual,', i„achct
aic subjects which the representatives o
our our people at the national capita
11111 si bo trusted 10 adjust, we think tin
oustoin duties should be levied lor tin
pioducti nof public revenue, and tin
discriminations in their iidjiislmcn
should be such as will place the higlies
rules on luxuries ami the lowest on tin
necessaries id' life, distribute as equal 1'
as possible the unavoidable burdens o
taxation, and cooler the greatest gum
on the greatest number.
I{esolvcd That we, ns heretofore, fa.
vor, and will never cease to demand, tin
unconditional abolition of the whole in.
ternal revenue system, as a war tax, no
to be justified in tines of pi-ncc: as i
grievous burden to u - ir people and i
source of annoyance in its practical op

Ilepil'lieatis in t' tigress are taxing then
energies to obstruct all legislation iu
augurated be the representatives of tin
Democratic party to relieve the pooph
of all or a part of this odious system.
Resolved, That the course of tin
Democratic parly, in furtherance of pom

that we favor the education of the peo

llic present educaliuliul advantages so fai
is it can be done without binden/ng tin.

Jissention ami ill will betw-en the pso
ple of llic different sections ol our com

Rcsolvud, That it is due te the peo
ple of our eastern couriies, who have so
;!ie»rfully borne their share of our com
mon burdens, that the present or sonic
•i|oally effective system ol' county guv.
•rnmi-ut shall be maintained.
Resolved, That the Democratic party
is opposed to any further extension ol
llic "No-fence'' law, unless such rxten
iion shall have first been authorized by
majority of the |iiiilificd voters wlthiu
llic territory to be affected thereby.
Resolved, That the I'eiuocratic party
iias ever been the party of the working

nor nave "trusts'* or "combinations" or

ict'-d by it. The contest in this coun
try being between aggtegatcd capital,
(Peking to crush out all coiiipction, and
the individual laborer, the Democratic
rrnrty is, as it has over becn.aghanst tlm
imuopolisl and in favor of a just dis ri.
nut ion of oapitiil, and demands tho en
letiucit of laws '.hat will bear eipiully
upon all.
Resolved Tlut us ull taxation bears
most heavily upon llw laborer, it is tha
duty of tlie legislator, as a direct benefit
to the workmguiun. to keep ill" expenses
