We have seen accounts . of these gatherings in dif ferent parts of the Jitate: and have no ticed that they were invariably addressed by those men who breathe a spirlt 'of ha. tred to , the powers that be, and we1 think we do not say too much .wtfen we say, ha Ued to the Government of .the United States, .and as our coi respondent1, .justly remarks they need ventilating. Here is the extract: Ml " I mu9t not close without telling ,'yoij. that the "chivalry,'? so-called, bad a grand Tournament in Marion on yesterday. I think there was about twenty "Knights" who entered the field to win the honor of crowning the! Queen. I discovered among the '-Knights" several from other ' Counties, one from Yadkin, and ope from Concord, some from Yancey and several from! Burke. , I m glad to say that 1 saw none from the banner Itepublicim county in the State. Ben. Newland, of McDow ell, was pronounced the successful Knight and frowned Miss Holt. The Knights were Addressed on theJfieW by Alphonzo C. Arery; of Burke., and one was forcibly reminded of the iad scenes of 60 and '61. It is not my intention to give you a detail ed account, of what Qccurred,but merely to call your attention as a public Journalist to these mad gatherings, the object of whicli seems to be an inculcation of rebel'. lioussentiments and a proud defiance to the United States Coyernmen:.

Those Resolutions- , Iy lie kiinlness of a friend, we have been placed hi possession of a copy of the resolu tions adopts by ;tlid; Democratic uieeting, held at tin-- plnce on the 2Tth ult. The prt anille.sets put with a declaration whiohj this party's actions proves to be un-. true. I It siiys : u forgettinc ' and forrri vine the pak They fc rget and forgive the w o - c past ot them and io proof of the cser- tiou tijat t!y have not and will not forgive the pafit, we .4mpy ask twhat Z. B. Vauce meant when he said in a late speech that the Smith would gain in the election of Seymour what The he) lost by' the force of arms. r first resolution endorses the New latform of principles. This does not Torki surprise us, but it ought to surprise one If he believed their preamble to be true, for that platform declares the reconstruction acts nr.ll aid void, and if ibis be true, most cer tainly jthere will be a J going back ou their forgiving aDd forgeting i)olicy. Their second resolution endorses Seymour and Blair. Their thi-d favors1 the holding of a Sate Convention :on 13th nstant, (we suppose a Democratic Conventfon,) Their fourth resolution says that in the hireing of laborers, lc.t they' will give the " .1, r PTO &c. - This is their great hope, jjud well mav th may they give the quali lllg CO preference if the Repnblican party shouUj see cause to esUiblitih the same proscriptw policy, for it' is a notorious fact that in County two thirds, or 'perhaps more of the land belongs to Republicans, but the princi ple is what we look at, and tlicn the men who figured in the meeting to proscribe and threaten to give preference to Conservatives when many of (hem have not a foot of land themselves.; We think this was the most supreme extract of sw-ell-head-ism that W4 have ever met with in our life, and it proved itself by many: of their party refusing to act with and join them when they opened their club lifetl j We saw in the meeliug, a would be loiukr ot the party, who lives oa a Republican's land. Now, if that Republi can was to adopt their policy, he would have to sift ; but we hope that our Republican friends will not adopt thiji principle for the present ' and iry and get along by hircing, renting land, '&c, to such men as do their Antv uMt!,niit, rp-riird to .politics. We do not want to see politics In such thing. Show the Democrats that we can be-magnanimous -U-that we will rule them in office, lu' that we-will not stoop to thtir low-down prosci-ip tive policy.? Had we received their resolu tion sooner,: we should have more fully ven tilated, tbeirtj but will desist at present, with he promise of further review soon. Iter is the preamble and resolutions; Where' asJ i' In on r opinion, the most im portant election that has ever been before tho American people, U now pending. And whereas,! we teel it to be the mty of all Constrvaiive men, forgetting and forgiv ing the past,: to organize tliemselves iriio a party in the interest of Seymour and Blair, as candidates for the Presidency of ihe Uui-j ted States. Therefore, 1 C Eesohed 1st, That we cTe approve of, en dorse and ratify the platform of principals adopted by the Conservative and 'Democrat ic parties iu their late Uouyenu.m iu ine City of .New iwk, as conuumug tucu uu einbodynieni of principles as to enable all, without regard to past party or political Connection, to nuite, who have at heart the perpetnalitv of the Union of the States and the Constitutional guarantees of onr fathers. 2, liesohedy That we do endorse, approve of and ratify; the nomination of the lion. Horatio Seymour of the State of New York, for the office! of President, and Gen; Frank Y. Blair, of the State of j Missouri tor the wffice ot. Vice-President of the Uui ted States : As statesmen whose exalted worth and the puri y of whose character eminentlyiqualify them to fill these exalted! offices, and whose devotion to the Union of the States, under the Constitution of our whole country, noLe can question and tell the truth. . 3. Mesolvea, ;ihat we uo approve or the holding of a general State Convention in ualeigh, at the time proposed, August the 13th, and that tins meeting appoint six or more discrete persons to represent this Ooun ty iu said Convention, and in the event none of said delegates should attend.

M ' M . 5. Hesohed, That we recommend the for mation of Seymour and Blair, clubs ia each precinct in this county, to be called Seymour and Blair, clubs for precinct. And that we recommend our colored friends to form similar clubs and when they are too sparsely settled or too poor in cumber to form to themselves, .we advise them to join the clubs composed of the whites 6. Reiolced Thut while it is the duty of 'all, and we do; advise all to submit quietly to the laws, State and National ; yet we do Center our most solemn protest, against the Lsecret and spy pystem of collecting the Rev enue due the Government of. the Uhited States. ' 1 Notice Distillers ! ! .? All persons wishing to engage in the I business of distilling, and who wish to comply with the Internal Rovenue laws of the United States, and who wish to avoid the expense and punishment inflics ted for violation of said laws, would do well to read tho following instructions : 1st All persons wishing to engage in said business, must first list his special tax as distiller with the Assistant Asses sor of his division, taking his certificate of the amount of the same. : 2nd. You are then required to go. to the Deputy Collector of your division and pay the! said tax. and give a bond with approved security, that you will make a true and correct return of all spirits by you distilled., 3d. You are required to keep a book or record of how man v ' hogsheads you mash in, how many runs you make, and now many ! gallons made at each run, which you will be sworn to. M Note. The Internal Revenue laws de clarc that every -person in possession of a SHU, and who brews, makes mash,' wort, or wash, for distillation shall be deemed a distiller, M No person will be regarded as a lawful distiller until he is bonded and has a cer tificate to that effect.

I A Tribute to Grant. , General J. L. Alcorn, one of the ablest irren in Misssisippi, in his late speech at Holly Springs, paid a handsome tribute to General Grant, Ho said the Southern people owed him a debt of gratitude ; that he had saved the nation in mercy; and when the South had surrendered her armies General Grant had held in check the fierce wrath of Andrew Johnson, who stood ready to make good his pledge for blood and confiscation. He stated ; that twelve months, since he had written a let ter in which he had declared for Grant. He still declared for him, as the only hope of peace to :the land. Elect Grant and all would be well ; defeat him, and intestine feuds and internal commotion would continue in the land, pressing back our coming prospects and opening the way tc wider ruin.; ' ACT TO PKOvibE fjba the quauficajtion f3T.RTAIH OFFICERS RECENTLY ELECTED US9ER TI1 PROVISIONS OF THE COS8JITU- The Qeaentl ' Assembly f Confiina 1 ; do Wenact.: Sectkw 1.

At that time prominent chieftains scoured the country in secession .all direc tions, "firicg the Southern heart," iand sow ing the seeds which cropped out ia the blood and .fire of rebellion.
