Mr 25-1 J Senator Dooitle Speech. On taking th Clr as President of tha Baltimore Conation Mr. Doolittle aid Gentlemen of ti Convention I thaak you for this ght honor ; words can hardlj tell how auch. But you will allow me to pai at once from w jat is personal, to sak of the great occasion, the duty ai the purpose which brings us here. Two years age, nearly fire years after tV bloody period of the civil war had cloid, the Liberal ReDubheans of Missoei fanDlause.l feelincr keenly all the evil of the prescriptive test oaths, he hates and the strifes and the paiions the war bad left upon them ldncnfter- the war itself had ceased, and fieling keenly the executive federal power in their local elections, determined to organize a movement to restor aKjual rights to all our ci'vn 'appTaci-Ljyhite" as local self-government, and to arrest the nni as further centralization of federal power, (applause.) Thay then said the thing had gone far enough, if not already too far. The time has come when all honest and patriotic Republicans must at 'halt." and re-assert th vital doctrine of republican government, that under the Constitution the power? of the Government are defined and limited, (applause, and cries of "Good," 'Good,") and that the people of the States have tho right to govern thom selvos in their own domestic affairs upon the basis of tho equality of all toe states. Jieiore mo nigner law, Be fore the Constitution and the equality of all men before the law (applause) of universal loyalty, amnesty, suffrage and peaco, taking no steps backward taking no right and franchise which Lad been secured to the blacks, and pledging themselves to support them all in their full vigor, they at the same time demanuoi, in tho name of peace. in the name of liberty, in the name of tho Republican government itself, that freedom and equal rights be restored to the white people, (great applause.) They organized noarly forty thousand "trong, and called upou B. Gratz Brown (applause) to head the movement. They placed him in nomination for Governor; then what followed? why eighty thousand Democratic-Repubh cans (cheers) looking upon the success of that movemont as above any party triumph (cheers,) resolved to sustain it with their whole stiength. Love of country, lovo of Republican liborty, love of tho equal rights of all men in- spired that union and taught men to act together who had been politically opposed to each other all their lives vtlj- i" nd in other time, aud without -.iol.- logic, conscience or the consistency of either side. This patriotic union was based upon higher grounds than or dinarily control political action (great applause.) Even those who had fought against each other in battle clasped bauds over the bloody chasm (renewed applause,) and side by side, like brothers with hearts beating in union, beating strong with the tamo high purpose they helped to bear its flag to a glorious victory. That, gentlemen, is Liberal Republicanism, (enthusiasm,) and that is Democratic-Republicanism. (Great enthusiasm.) The victory which came from that Union was the end of proscription, of test-oaths, of pain and strife, and of all disloyalty, in a word. The real end of the civil war came with that victory, and did not come until then in Missouri. (In tense applause.) It redeemed tha; State : it trave the riirht of freemen to 70.000 men who had been bound and fettered. Missouri is now a free State in this Union, with all her rights, dignity and equality under the Consti tution, and not one murmur of dis loyalty is anywhere heard. By that Union, federal dictation in Missouri, in their local elections, was overthrown, and by that Uniou strife and hate have given place to peace and to good will. By that Union, liberty, with equal rights for all. has given to the State unbounded prosperity, and to her people a joy almost unspeakable. So great was their joy and so complete their success, that tho Liberal Republi cans of that State were not content without nuakiug an effort to extend the same union of Liberal and Democratic Republicans, and with it tho same blessing, of liberty, peace and fraternity, to all the other States. (Rounds of applause.) Accordingly, in State Con vention, the 24th of March last, they resolved to invite the Liberal Repub licans in nil the States to meet them in National Convention in Cincinnati on the 1st day of May. The invitation was accepted, and there was, indeed, great response. They came by thousands, in such vast numbers that a delegate Convention of representa tives of all the States was formed, both frem principle and from necessity, to give form to its proceedings. Many of the ablest men in the country, lately leaders in the Republican party, were there and took part in its delibera tions. They wore assured that a large number of Liberal Republicans in every State, and from all portions of the country stood behind, ready to sustain them, and they were morally certain that if the millions whom we this day represent (cheers! would onlv eomo to their support the number of Liberal Republicans would reach half a million or more (Great cheers.) mat Convention presented a platform and candidates to the country t for President Horace Greeley, (long and continued cheering) and for Vice-President B. Gratz Brown (more applause.) and that Convention, for the promotion i .i i . i i and success of the principles declared on that platform and there enunciated, and the support of the candidates nom inated by that Convention, havo in vited and cordially welcomed the co operation of all patriotic citizens, with out regard to previous political affilia tion. Those principles were so clearly and concisely stated in the platform itself, and restated in the . letter of acceptance of Mr. Greeley, (more cheer ing,) and they are so well known to you all, tnat l win not restate mem. For weeks that platfonn, and their candidates have been, before the coun try. Meanwhile, the Convention call ed to nominate General Grant, (hisses) and to endorse and to continue the principles, practices and policy of his administration, has done its work, (hisses.) As , between .i'the Liberal Iverlican'akdhVfQUcrwers of the QnuttttmrZ2tt---Cx9. issue l ij-' i . r ' io I immense enthusiasm, and cries of Greeley.) While these events were passing, the Democratic-Republicans whom we represent, held their Con ventions in all the States. The Liberal movement, the example of Missouri, the Cincinnati Convention, its platform and its candidates, with their lottors of acceptance, were all before them. Conventions, which wero very largely attended by their ablest men. and the paramount questions before thoso Con ventions were, shall we accept this invitation to co-operate with the Liberal Republicans. (Great applauso ) Shall we adopt their platform ? (Loud cries of yes, yes, and some cries of never ) Shall wo nominate the same candidates ? (yes, yes,) and shall we elect them ? (yes. yes,) (loud cheering.) or shall we refuse to co-operate and nominate others, no, no,) (Groeloy, Greeley,) and strive to elect them over both tickets already in tho field ? Gentlemen, these are the questions which you are to decide now and hore. That you will decide them wisely, I cannot doubt, nor can any one doubt who looks orer this body of men, representing as they do threo millions of citizens, and who feel, as every one here must feel, tho high and patriotic purpose which inspires you. Gentle men, what means this groat and rising movement which we everywhere see'? What means this proposed uuion of three million of Democratic Republican with a million, it may bo of Liberal Republicans ? What means this union upon a common platfuim, and this proposed union upou the same candi date a union so suddon, so compact, so earnest as to suprise its friends and to confound its euemie3 (applause,) which comes as tho winds, which, to borrow a figure, overwhelms the or- Vtl4.., .... . , , . , -..i.. -!. ir li the great storms always run to the sur faces. What means all this ? There aro some thiugs, gentlemen, it does not mean. It moans no abandonment of wnat i just, of what is good in human government (applause.) It means no union of the dead upon dead issues, but a union of the living upon the living issues of tho present. It means no union for the spoils of etlice (ap plause,) but it means union of men with the same faith upon the great and paramount issue of the present hour a frank, manly, honorable and equal union of men who have the sagacity to see and the moral courage to accept the situation. (Good, good, and loud cheering.) It means a union of men who have sagacity to see what is past, and to deal with the issue of the present, and for the future to do their duty to their God and their fellow-men. This issue of to-day is not the repeal of tho Missouri compromise nor the question of slavery in the Territories, upon which alone the Republican party was organized in 1850. It is not upon that which followed, when the Lecorup ton Constitution for Kansas divided the Democratic party in twain and elected Abraham Lincoln to the Presi dency in 1860. It is not the question of secession, nor of war to put down rebellion, nor tho abolition of slavery in the State, by military order, or by constitutional amendment, upon which Mr. Lincoln was re-elected in 18G4, nor yet is it the question of reconstruc tion, or of tho fourteenth or tho fif teenth amendment, nor the question of negro suffrage, nor the establishment by federal power of universal negro suffrage as a condition precedent to the States of the South having any rights or any existence, even as States in the Union ; it is none of these that is now in issue ; all these have been issues of the past, great issues, suffi cient in themselves to create and dis solve political parties, because ideas are stronger than men or parties ; but they are all past issues; they have been fought out and fought to the end, in tho forum and in the Held, and they are no more in issue to-day than the Mexican war or tho war of rebellion. (Applause.) W could not re-open them if we would, and they falsely misrepresent our purpose who say that we would re-open them if we could. This great Union, therefore, means no steps backwards, (cheers ;) forward is the word, (leud applause,) and first of all it means to-day for all the other States of the South what it has already done in Missouri. Instead of proscrip tion, test-oaths, suspension of the writ of fiabtas corptit and military despotism, it meats personal freedom for the in dividual good, for, (loud applause,) in stead of negro supremacy, upheld by proscription and the bayonet, it means equal rights to all men, whites as well as blacks, (loud applause.) Instead of ( thieving governments, organized to ! plunder subjugated States, it means Ll. j ? "f.ii: j the dominance of intelligence and in tegrity, instead of strife and robber ; it means justice, liberty, peace, loyalty and good will, and, gentlemen, for our whole country, East, West, North and South, it means, instead ef a war- President, trained only in military schaol, and whose whole character has been formed in the ideas,, arts, habits and despotism of military life, the election of a peace-President trained in the ideas, arts, blessings and repub lican simplicity of peace and universal freedom (lud cheers)of peace not enchained of liberty -not Arrest await ing tiial, sentence and execution by drumhead court martial, but that liberty and peace which the constitu tion secures, by placing the civil law above the sword (loud applause,) by preserving in full ?igor, the sacred most important oi tnem an ; it means to arrest the centralization of power in tho Federal government (loud cheers ;) it means to assert the the vital princi ples of our republican system, in which it moves and has its being. Constitu tions are made by tho people in their sovereign capacity for tho express pur poso of defending and limiting tho powers of government. (Applause) powers of all governments, State or National, it means that we are de termined that Presidents and Gover nors, Congress and State Legislatures, and every department of tho govern ment shall obey the Constitution. (Prolonged applause.) Mr. Doolittle concluded : Gentlemen, I have thus briefly stated the situation, the duties and the purpose which brings us here. A great responsibility rests upon this Convention. If its action shall bo such, I doubt not it will put an end to this misrule which for the last few years has afllicted our beloved country. This generation, and genera tions to como after us will remember with pride and gratitude the Conven tion at Baltimore of the 9th of July. 1872. Amid loud and long continued applause, Mr. Doolittle took his seat. a a a J.B "Tl tr . The Washington corr?spondont of the New Worll says "A special despatch to one of the Sunday papers announcos that Austin Blair, of Michigan, has formally given his adhesion to the Liberal movement, and that he will support the Greeley and Brown ticket. This action on the part of Mr. Blair is not unexpected, lie has long seen and denounced the corruption of tho Graut Administra tion, lie was one of the Republicans of tho IIouso whe many months ago honod tLat some now man would b' announced beforehand that if the Con vention nominated Grant he would not support him. Governor Blair has simply led off in a movement in which he will doubtless find numerous fol lowers, for there are many Republicans in and out of Congress who have only been waiting for a leader whom they could follow." Singing Greeley Through. The following which we clip from the Baltimore Gaz:t-'e of the Sth instant is a compliment well bestowed, as it is gratifying to the friends of Gov. Vance to know that he is held in such high estee.n out of as well as in, the State : It is very well known in this city that few men can say better things in an off-hand speech than Gov. Vance, of North Carulina. The Governor is' now stumping his State for Greeley and in a speech at Wilson, on Saturday, ho put the feeling of a large number of Democrats in relation to the Greeley ticket about as tersely and forcibly as could be expressed. The Governor hoped there would be unanimity at Baltimore, and was sure North Carolina would give Greeley and Brown a large majority if endorsed there by the Dem ocrats, and illustrated his position by a humorous story of an old preacher, into whose hymn book some bad boy had pasted the old song, Old Grimes is dead ; That good old man, "Wo ne'or shall see him moie. On opening his book one day before a sermon bis eyes fell on this hymn. He read the first verse and stepped with surprise. He wiped his specks and read it again, and said : "Brethren I have been a aiaging out of this book for forty years ; I have never recog nized this as a hymn before ; but it's here, and I aint agwine to go back on my book now, so please rase the tune and we 11 sing it through if it kills us." Now, said the Governor, we have been singing Democratic hymns for forty years down here, and we have never recognized Greely as a Democrat before but if the Baltimore Convention puts him in our hymn book we'll sing him through if it kills us. Capt. Wallace, of Beaufort, acci dentally killed himself last week, while carelessly handling a pistol. . Gen. A. M. Scales has recovered so far as to be able to be about again. A live fish has been discovered in one of the boiling springs of Cali fornia, which died as soon as trans ferred to cold water. Under what conditions might that fish be cooked ? A French silk factory settlement, called Etienne, is being estabished on Staten Island, N. Y. The colonists. who arc all silk weavers, are employed j,y an association of French capitalists in New York. rpinand by tl ufiir. ana rjerlii Constitutional Reform. The chief thing that recommends to popular favor the Bill of Amend ments proposed by the last Legisla ture, is the fact that if the bill shall be passed by the required vote in the next Legislature, the changes thereby guaranteed in the Constitution of the State will bring about so much reliif to that large class of our people who have only a small portion of this word's goods. The class of people to be especially benefited by the proposed alterations in the Constitution is the laboring class that class of people who literally earn their daily bread by the sweat of .heir brows. Men who are possessed of large capital, no mat ter whether in lands or moaey or bonds or other resources, are general ly better able, to say the least to take care of themselves 4him .poor iusafcn" whopeniy stock in t hrain.- We rcneat tkait it-f latter portion of our citizens that the proposed amendments make.- the strongest appeal for support. To prove this assertion we need only to refer to one of the changes pro posed, and in commenting upon this amendment we cannot do better than to transfer to our columns the remarks of the Ashevillo Citizen in relation thereto. The Cittzen says : To thousands of poor people it will be interesting to know that there is one amendment proposed for their e$ic:i.il relief from taxation. As the Constitution now stauds, the General Assembly of the State has power to exempt from taxation the following named articles only, to wit : 'Cemeteries and property held for educational, scientific, literary, chari table, or religious purposes; also, wearing apparel, arms for muster, household and kitchen furniture, the mechanical and agricultural imple ments of farmers and mechanics, libraries and scientific instruments, to a value not exceed:n three hundred dollars." C-jnatitntioa, Article 5, Sec. 5. This affords to the poor man little or no relief. The ''wearing apparel," "household and kitchen furniture," and 'agricultural implements" of a vast number of the poorer laboring classes, are not worth seventv-five dollars; yet this is all the exemption they can have under the present Constitution, while their better-to-do neighbors can have three hundred dollars worth exempt. This is not fair it is not just nor right. Let the Constitution be changed so as to exempt the poor man's cow, his horse, his hogs, and any other property he may have, to value of three hundred dollars. adopted, "1C UmPnrlniftfite nrnnncoil IF Will Ui irvrJf Jn - v desirable end. This amendment adds to the words 'Uearing apparel" "house hold and kitchen furniture," and "asricultural implements" the words 'or other -ersoml i)ropsrti." These are the magic words, whereby power be will conferred upon the Legislature to exempt from taxation the poor man's or poor woman's cow or horse, or hogs, or other property, to the value of three hundred dollars. Will not the poor man vote for this change in the Con stitution? and will he not vote for the men who pledge themselves to sup port the amendment making this change? and will he not vote against any man who opposes such Amend ment? This matter should be thoroughly discussed and understood. It is of great importance to the poor man. Why should not he have his cow, his herse or his hos exempt when the rich man can have three hundred dollars worth of his elegant parlor furniture exempted? Who will vote to give the rich man the benefits of exemption from taxation and to im pose the burden upon the poor man? We answer: those who oppose the proposed amendments to the Constitu tion. Wil. Jovriu.il. J. Younjr Scammon. the editor of the Chicago ln'.er-Ocetn, is a brave man a fine specimen of the loyal gentleman. Here is a paragraph from his powerful Journal : "The following rebel Generals are all fer Greeley: In Louisiana Beauregard, Longstreet and Hays. In Texas John B. Hood. In Mississippi Featherston, Walthall and Humphreys. In Alabama I'et tus, Morgan (John T.) and Haphael Semmes. In Georgia Benning. Wof ford and Wright. In South Carolina Hampton and Kershaw. In North Carolina D. H. Hill and Ramsey. In Virginia Imboden and Picket. In Tennessee-Forrest, Bates, Cheatham and Brown. Grant has had the pleasure of com pulsory presents of swords from most of these gentlemen. iut tnen ue is "a gift taker." The Raleigh News say : On Satur day another lot of English immigrants arrived in the city and reported to tne State Commissioner of Immigration, Col. Geo. Little, through whose in fluence they came. Thev are men of means, have families, and are well able to purchase farms, stock, &c, and go at once to work. The Kitrell's correspondent of the Norfolk Journal speaks in glowing terms of the way ia which Gov. Vance used up Sam Phillips at Louisburg. A Republican mass meeting will be held at Aiken on the 4th, and a multitude of speakers are expected to air their eloquence. Facts to be Remembered: That the Radical party for the year 1869-70 cost the State of North Caro lina Five Hundred and Seventy -Five ; Thousand. Five Hundred and Four teen Dollars and Ten Cents more tc -1 li pnrrr in tha Kti tt rinv.ftrnrnan thir the subsequeat Democratic Lcgisla ture. -3.1 We havo published from time tt time through our columns, facts e&I figure, taken from the records and tl5 Auditor office to show that the Rt caf party criminal ex A hat par from 1868 to 1870, plunged the C! of North Carolina into a new dbi Fifteen Millions of Dollars. During the ; administration X,'- I millions after millions bonds were stglebypfl ' State has been brought to tke lowest ebb. That party for the years l8G9-'70, cost tho State of North Carolina Five Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand, Two Hundred and Fourteen Dollars and Ten Cents more to carry on the State Government than the subsequent Democratic Legislature. The per diem and mileagorbf the last Radical Legislature cost the State of North Carolina Two Hundrod and Thirty-One Thousand Four 'Hundred and Fifty-Six Dollars aud Twenty three cents more than the jxr diem and mileage of the last Democratic Legis lature. Keep these facts before the people ! Among the nineteen Senators who held a midnight revel and orgie drinking Littlefield's whiskey and smoking his cigars paid for out of his North Carolina thievings and pledg ing themselves to vote to stifle the fraud investigation then going on Curtis II. Brogden of Wayne was found. He is now the radical nominee for Lieutenant Governor. The coureo that would damn a man politically in any other party that ever existed is the sure road to radical preferment. Ex. Whoever makes the charge that Judge Merrimon has been or is now opposed to the Homestead states uhzt lie knows to be ah;. Judge Merrimon is known in this section as tho special friend and advocate of the Homestead. The only objection ho has to the home stead in its preseit shape is, that it does not go far enough in protecting those for whose benefit it was made. Caldwell has frequently asserted that the homestead was unconstitutional. tf8f-llim donT 110 dare. A-? "l The Difference. The Conservative Legislature passed acts reducing the salaries of officers at the capitel of the State $13,520.00 per annum, lhus this large sum is saved annually the business goes on just as well. Then, was not this sum virtually stolen from our impoverished people by radical officeholders? It looks so to us. That much money that some body worked hard to make went to radical office-holders for nothing worse than nothing. They not only thus robbed the people, but they dis graced them and subverted free gov ernment and liberty ! And yet these same men ask for a new lease of power. Think of it, free men ! Sen tinel. A Vote for Radicalism What Does it Mean? Does any man who contemplates vo ting for any Radical nominee at the next election consider what a vote for Radicalism means ? If not, we beg him to stop and for a moment think. In 1870, a fow week before the elec tion, Gov. Holden suspended, the Con stitution and laws. He raised au army of ruffians, partly from Western North Carolina and partly from Tennessee to support whom cost Seventy-Four Thousand dollars of the people's mon ey which was paid without authority in law. By means of this army of desperate men, a large number of innocent per sons were arrested tciiltout warrant and cast into prison. Some of these per sons were tortured and hangod by the neck to make them testify as the Rad icals wanted them to tFerestify. these crimes against civil liberty, Gov. Holden was impeached. The Radical party, in their State Convention which nominated Governor Caldwell, solemnly endorsed Governor Helden's course. That party went out of its way to do this. And this same party has the isapu dence now to ask the people to vote for the Radical candidates, and thus sanction all the horrors of the Kirk war! Can the people afford to do this thing ? Let them consider well the meaning of a vote cast for the Radical nomi- nMS. Such a vote is an endorsement of Holden and Kirk an endorsement of despotism and misrule. Netcs.

A for- funate chance made her acquainted with Dr. Cabarus, and to him she told her tale cf woo. Ho felt with a sorious ness worthy of Hippocrates himself, the pulso of tho fair patient, inquired after various symptoms and when tho charming aristocrat had exhausted all here store of argument to prove her pet delusion, the youthful doctor said after a well-feigned pause : "Madame, tho frog is thoro, but I will remove it." Ho then prescribed an innocent emetic and went to the nearest flower shop were he bought a small greon frog. Armed with this confederate, he presented himself once more boforo the duchess and placed a largo basin of water in readiness. The emetic be gan to take effect, the duchess' -eyes filled with tears and our doctor took advantages of the opportunity to slip j the groen frog into the basin. On seeing the frog a load was re- . moved from tho duchess' heart pnd for 1 an instant all seemed well. Tho next moment she turned pale, and as Dr. ; Cabarus supported her tottering frame, ' she cried, in a despairing tono : "0, doctor ! I am not yet curod, for the frog has left little ones behind her!" Stop !" cried Cabarus, without al lowing a trace of embarrassement to be seen in his manner ; ' that we shall soon see." He then threw a searching glanco upon the frog, which ho had by this time taken in his hand, and uttered with a certainty that settled the whole question, these words : "Madam, that is an impossibility, fur the frog is a male !" T.ar)v PmlfJooi The value of earth as a disinfectant; and deodorizer is well known ; and the treatment of ulcerated sores and gangrenous wounds with it is becoming very general. A new application has1 lately been described by Dr. E. S. Bunker, who states that he has recently used clay as a dressing for the face in two cases of confluent small pox, dust ing it, in fine powdor, over tho fates of the pationts as soon as tho pustules become fairly developed. This formed a clean, dry, wholesome scab, absorbing the infectious material, and scalod off during convalescence, leaving the un derlying skin in its natural and normal state. The painful itching, which is one of the worst characteristics of the dieete, was entirely abated. 1 The earth used was fine pipe clay. .- I In further illustration of the value of earth for external application, men tiened on page 9 of our last number, a correspondent, Mr. II.
