Tne time lias been in these South

Instead of this you, some of you from
instinct and habit, others because you
are the slaves of a power which you
do not understand, rush in to crush
anj" young plebian who dares to show
his head above the still jand putrid
waters of Southern Bourljonism.
Everyone of yjou who seek to strike
at me by this petty blow will vote for
Judge Kuffin for the Supreme Court
Bench. As a Democrat what more
have I done than he? lie accepted
the support' of the Republican, party,
ran for Judge against tlje Regular
Democrat and cAme near beating him.
Why don't you Ostracise him?
! Again, you seek to makjo a parade
of taking your b isiness away from me
because I dare to have opinions of iny
own, because I dare to have views of
the present system of County Govern
ment which are not in accordance
with 3ours.
It was not necessary for you to have
hiade all this parade in order to have
terminated my official connection with
the city. A simple resolution that my
services were no longer required or
desired would have been as effectual
as this course, but that would have
had a disadvantage, in that it would
have deprived some of your members
of a never-to-bes-lost opportunity to
publicly parade
as paragons of party
fealty and as examplars of party loy
alty, when they

would also have jdeprived some of you
of an opportunity of ending in a great
blast of trumpets' a long line of ill-concealed
opposition! to me.
Every since I have been of age, while
I havfe always professed Democratic
principles, I have persistently con
jtended for that toleration, liberality,
freedom of speech and opinion, which
i s guaranteed by the laws ofourcoun
:ry to every citizen, if for such senti
ents las these, men are in effect, told
by an autocratic coterie, that they shall

Of employment, they I am sure will
manfully meet the issue, and if such
is inevitable and is the fiat of the peo

as others have done before, to some
land where the air is more resonant

with the chimes of liberty, where there
ik more freedom of thought and opin
ion ancl where men are not grudging

as freemen under the constitution and
laws oi".our common country. I have

THE END. -
DEMOCRATIC DELINQUENCY.
At a meeting of the Board of Coun-
Commissioners of Carteret Coun

An order was made authorizing the county
treasurer to receive from the bondsmen of Julius

Sheriff Jones was until this little
irregularity came to light, the head
of the; 'Court House Ring" of Car

and ruled with a mighty hand. Too
much ieal consumed him. The great
man hath fallen.

side. jWatch out for Duplin next.
According to the Census of 1880
