Largest liberty for the body, largest liberty for the mind, largest lilierw lor the soul. Now, I want to show you, as a matter of advocacy for what I be lieve tojje the right, the jqdendors of orthodox'. Many have.supposed that its disciples are people of flat skulls-, and no reading, and behind the age, and the victims oi gullibility. 1 shall show you that the. word or thodoxy stands for the greatest splen dors -outside of heaven. Bi-hold the splendors of the achievements. All the missionaries of the Gjospel the world round are men who believe in an entire Bible. Call the roll qf all the missionaries who are lo-day en suring sacrifices in the ends of the ion and Theodore Parker died and his church died with him ; or, if it is in exis tence, it is so small you cannot see it with the naked eye. Park Con gregational church still stands on "Hellfire Corner,'' thundering away the magnificent truths of this glori ous orthodoxy just as though Theo dore Parker had never lived. All that Boston, or Brooklyn, or New York, or the world ever got that is worth having came through the wide aqueduct of orthodoxy from the throne of God. Behold the splendors -of character built up by orthodoxy. Who had the greatest human intellect the world ever knew ? Paul. In physi cal stature insignificant ; in mind, lutnl and shoulders above all the .giants of the age.' Orthodox from calp to heel. h'o was the great est poet the ages ever saw, acknowl edged to be' so both vb infidels and Christians: John Milton, seeing more without eyes than anybody else ever saw with eves. Orthodox from scalp to heel. Who was the greatest reformer the world has ever seen, so acknowledged by infidels as well as by Christians? Martin Luther. Orthodox from scalp to heel. Then look at the certitudes. O man, believing in an entire Bible where did you come from ? Answer "I deseended from a perfect parent age in Paradise, and Jehovah breathed into my nostrils the breath ot life. I am a son of God."- O man, believing in a half and half Bible, believing in a Bible in spots, where did you come from ? Answer : "It is all uncertain ; in my ancestral line away back there was an. orang out ang and a tadpole and a polywog, and it took millions of years to get me evoluted." O man, believing in a Bible in spots, W11EKE AUK VOU GOINO TO. when you quit this world ? Answer: 'Going into a great to be, so on in to the great somewhere, and then I shall pass through on to the great anywhere, and I shall probably ar rive in the nowhere."' That is where I thought you would fetch up. O, man, believing in an entire Bible, and believing with all your heart, where are you going to when you leave thisworTd?

Just as soon as a missionary begins to doubt whether there was a GAKPKX OK KPKX, or whether there is anv such thing as future punishment, lie comes right home from Bey rout or Madras, and goes into the insurancebusiness! All the missionary societies this da' are officered by orthodox men, and of these modern are supported by orthodox churches. Orthodoxy, beginning with the Sandwich Islands, has captured vast regions of barbarism for civilization, while heterodoxy has to capture the first souare inch. Blatantjlor many years in Great Britain and the l-uited States, and strutting about with a peacockian braggadocio t lias yet to capture the first continent, the first state, the first 'township, the first ward, the first space of ground that you could cover withjthe small end of a sharp pin. Ninety-riine out of every hundred of the Protest ant churches ot America were bum by people who believed hi an entire Bible. The pulpit now may preacn some other gospel, but it is a hetero dox gun or an orthodox carnage.

No church ot very great influence to-day but was built by those who believed in an entire Bible. Neither will a church last long built on a part of the Bible. You have noticed, I suppose, tnat as soon as a man De- gins to give up the liioie ne is apt to" preach in some hall, and he has an audience while he lives, and wnen he dies the church dies. 11 1 thought that my church in Brooklyn was built on a quarter of a Bible1, or a atlect the validity or th? meaning of half of a Bible, or three-quarters oia Bible, or ninety-nine one-hundredths of a Bible, 1 would expect it to die amount to any ihore importance than when I die ; but when it is built on the entire v oru or uuu, j. js.iiu u will last 200 years after you and I sleep the last sleep.

Oh, the glorious certitudes of orthodoxy ! Behold the splendors of orthodoxy in its announcement of two destinies. Palace and penitentiary. Palace with gates on all sides through which all may enter and live on celestial luxuries world without end, and all for the knocking and the asking. A palace grander then if all the" Alham- bras and the ersailles and tne v inu sor castles and the Winter gardens and t lie imperial abodes of all the earth' were heaved up into an archi tectural glorv. At thV' other end of the universe a penitentiary, where men who want their sins can have them. Would it be fair that you and I should have our choice of Chri and the palace, and other men be de nied their choice ot sin and eternal (re-gradation? Palace and peniten tiary. The first of no use unless you have the last." Brooklyn and New- York would be better places to live in .with Raymond street jail and the Tombs and Sing Sing, and all the smallpox hospitals emptied on them than heaven would be; if there were no hell. Palace ami ; penitentiary. If 1 see a man with a lull bowlot sin, and he thirsts lor it, find his whole nature craves it, and he takes hold with both hands and- presses that bowl to his lips, and then presses it hard between Ins tejeth, and the draught begins to pour its sweetness down his throat, shall we snatch away the bowl, and ' .IEKK THE MAX up to the gate of heaven, and push him in if be does not Want to go and sit down and sing psalms forever ? No. God has made ybu and me so completely free that we need not go to heaven unless we prefer it. Not more free to soar than free to sipk. Nearly all the heterodox people I know believe all are coming out at the same destiny ; without regard to faith or character we are all coming out at the shining gate. There they are, all in glory together. Thomas Paine and George Whitefield, Jezebel and Mary Lyon, Nero; and Charles Weslev, Charles Guiteau and James A. Garfield, John Wilkes JJootn and Abraham Lincoln all in glory to gether ! All the innocent men, wo men and children who were massa cred, side by side with their mur derers. . If we are all roming out at the same destiny, without regard to character, then it is true, l turn awav from such a debauched heaven. Against that caldron,; or piety anu blasphemy, philantnropy ana assas sination. self-sacrifice and beastliness, I place the two destinies of the Bible forever and toreyer andioreyer apart.

We again chal-lm-urp a pmniinrisoii between this 1 ----- - state of things and the outrages, crimes and scandals which attended Republican ascendancy .in our bor ders. We pledge ourselves to exert in the future, as in the past, our best efforts to promote the best interests of the people of 'all sections of the State. Allirming our adherence to Democratic principles as heretofore enunciated in the platforms of the party, it is hereby Re;stlml, That no government has the right to burden its people with taxes beyond the amount required to pay its necessary expenses and gradually extinguish its public debt; and that whenever the revenues, however derived, exceed this amount, they should be reduced, so as to avtfld a surplus in the treasury. That any system of taxation which necessitates the payment of a pre mium of j?"-'7 by the government on each j?l,(H)(l of its bonds, taken up with the millions that would other wise lie idle in its vaults, and paid to bondholders who purchased in nwuiy instances, at less than par, is undemocratic, oppressive and in iquitous and should 'be refunded. The course of our Democratic Rep resentatives in Congress, in their ell'orts to give relief to the people from burdensome internal revenue and tariff taxation, meets with the approval of the Democratic party of this State and we respectfully rec ommend that if they find it impos sible to give to our people all the relief demanded, they support any just and practical measure presen- auord a the expenses of our public .institu tions at the lowest limit consistent with wise and efficient management. The Democratic party opposes any competition between free and con viot labor, but it insists that convicts shall not remain idle at the expense of honest labor. 7iV.-otv, That ours being an agri cultural State, it is our duty as well as our pleasure to promote any and all legislation that is best calculated to advance the interests of agricul ture ; and that in so doing we will most effectually advance the inter ests of mechanics, manufacturers and laborers. Rfsohvil, That the Democracy ot North Carolina cordially approve the administration of Hon. Alfred M. Scales as honest, patriotic and conservative. Result-erf, That the ability, wisdom, honesty, patriotism, independence, faithfulness to duty and manly cour age of President Cleveland have won the.odmiration of all good men ; and the'interests of the country demand his re-n'omination and his re-election. lati;t liv 3i a Hi. existing details of iconstitu- be grad- ted in Congress that win practical relief from such burden. ResolceJ, That while the the methods by which the tional revenue tariff shall ually reached are subjects which the representatives of our people at the national capital must be trusted t6 adjust, we think the custonis duties should be levied for the production of public revenue, and the discrimi nations in their adjustment should be such as will place the highest rates on luxuries and the lowest on the necessaries of life, distribute as equally as possible the unavoidable burdens of taxation, and cotnfer the greatest good on the greatest num ber.

Neil York Uemhl. Since the Republican Senators have agreed to report a tariff reduc tion bill of their own thecrv ol "free trade" against the Democratic bill has died out to a great degree. The Republican stump speakers must bold up until they see whether their Senators are not going to make tar iff reform a party measure. To enable any work'ingman in protected industries to see whether the Democratic Mills bill affects his industry let him look over the fol lowing list, which is the result of careful comparison of the Demo cratic Mills bill with the present tariff law. This careful comparison shows that the Democratic ta rill bill makes iro change at all in the duties now imposed by the present law on the products of these following em ployments. If the Mills bill were a law" to-day all engaged in the indus tries in this list would be just as highly "protected"' as they are under the present Republican tarill: Basket -makers, bookbinders and finishers, bone and ivory workers, boot and shoe makers, brewers and malsters, britannia ware makers, bronze powder makers, button facto ry operators, bullion and metal thread makers, candie makers, ce ment and lime makers, cigar makers, clock and watch makers and repair . i i i i. ers, coKe matters, eonio imiKei.-, eoi k makers,coopers,eopperworkers,corset makers, cutlery makers, dairymen (butter and cheese), distillers and ractifiers, fishermen, flax dress ers, fur workers, glue, gelatine and isinglass makers, gloves, cotton and woolen cotton ;( iillson, gimp and tassel makers, gold and silver work ers and jewelers, green and colored glass bottle makers, gunsmiths and locksmiths, harness and saddle makers, hat and cap makers, hemp and jute carpet makers, hosiery and knitting mill operators, lace makers, j leather case and pocket-book makers, leather curriers,' dressers, finishers and tanners; makers of coal tar dyes, makes of perfumery, makers of coah and harness furniture, saddlery and hart 1 ware; makers of gunpowder and other explo sives,' makers of pipes and smokers' articles, makers of polishing powders, makers of fancy soaps, miners, mir ror and picture frame makers, orange growers, organmakers, pencilniakers, pinmakers, pianoforte makers and tuners, plaster grinders, roofing and paving tile makers, scale and rule makers, screwmakers, shirt, cull's.an.1 collar makers; shooks. silk mill operators, straw workers, tiles, com mon and. lire brick makers ; trunk. valise and carpetbag makers ; stove, furnace and grate makers; umbrella frame makers, varnish makers, wax workers, wire drawers, pulp mill operatives, various farm products-,- hay, hoops, barley, cattle.siiecp, nogs Wasiiixotox.

As one of the . managers of the national campaign he will have his hands very full dur ing the coming summer. The Wash ington Slai of yesterday, in speaking of the Senators who are to be re elected this fall, says : ' Senator Ran som is Hearing the. end of his third term in the distinguished body of which he is a member. There are rumors of rival candidates, but no probability of a serious contest against him. In the first place, be is related to marl vail the influential families in the State. Among the old natives there is scarcely a family that cannot trace some kinship with "Matt" Ransom, ami they are just proud enough of him to inform peo ple of the relationship. He was a Major-Gem ral in the Southern army, and if any of his old comrades go naked or "hungry, it is because they conceal the fact from their former commander. It is gratifying to the oeoole of Washington to learn that the people of North Carolina will send Gen. Ransom back to the Sen ate: for t him. more than to any other inlluence, is due the great im provement now in process on the riverfront here. It was Senator Ran som who procured the appointment of a special committee to impure . into the importance of that improve ment in a sanitary sense. 1 1 is com mittee exainini d most of the leading physicians of this city, and the sani tary experts of national reputation as to the deleterons inlluellee of the Potomac flats and the necessity of the abatement of that death-dealing nuisance. That investigation was the legislative and moneyed founda tion of the Potomac flats improve ment. Senator Ransom did not sim ply content himself with the incep tion of the work, but few persons are aware of the energetic persistency with- which he has followed it up ! and of the many" difficulties he has i i . i . ... . . 1 4 .. ; .. had to encounter anu io o 1 1 come m pr curing subsequent appropriations to carry it on.

Resolved, That it is due to the people of our eastern counties, who have so cheerfully borne their share of our common burdens, that the present or some equally effective system of county government shall be maintained.

Keveime and Glory Beeville (Texa.-) Bee.! The editor of this paper has.dieen frequently asked why he doesn't get n printer ins tead of doing all the work himself. -'The fact is printers are rather expensive articles, and with most country papers they get all the money arid the publisher gets perquisities an occasional treat at the bar, a railway pass, free' circus tickets and glory. The publisher of this paper, being something of a typo, hired himself and consequently gets both the cash revenue of the office and the editor's perquisities mostly the latter. ified voters within the territory to be aflected thereby. ' Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever been the party of the workingman, and has never fostered monopolies, nor have "trusts" or 1 ' .. , and farm products generally, except wool and vegetal les. Then there are a great number of other employments in which the Democratic bill, having made the raw material free of duty, has some what lowered the duties on the pro duct, but still left a "protection'" equal to that in the present law! To call the Mills bill a "free trade measure is too absurd to go down. Those who set up this cry must think the American workingman a fool. A Psalm ol' Trade. Charlotte Observer.
