We Tlorth Carolinians Vt X. THE BASEST LIE OF THE CAM PAIGX. Da. Lee, Gideonite elector in the Fifth district, meet the ruM about WtAVER'8 cruelty by the charge that Gen. 1X1 burned housea in Maryland, and extorted money from the people. It is by snch Uue charge that the Gideonites hope to win. The man who followed Gen. Lxk who does not resent such comparison of hi old commander, has surely lost the "stuff" that made him worthy to be Bob Lie" soldier. To 1kw how contemptible is the fake charge against Gen. Ill, we call the at tention of our readers to his order issued at ChamberslKirg, V.. June 27tb, 1863. We make room for this quotation from the great Pu T E.

National Democrat, WashinKton, D. C. The Philadelphia Press, edited by one of Mr. Harrison's closest friends, Mr. Emorv Smith, his late Minister to Russia has the courage to say plainly what all observant men have known all the time, viz., that it is the jlicy and purpose of the Republican party to enact a Force bill. But the Press is frank enough to urge a reason for it beyond mere politi cal power, and declares that to pass the Lodge election bill is to destroy the dan gerous competition that Southern pros erity erects against New England cotton goods and Pennsylvania iron.

Will anT honest Reformer in North Carolina contribute to this end by throwing away his vote on Weaver t A WISE ACTIO'. Every man in the State who really wants reform knows that the defeat of the Republican party is essential to any and all reforms. What follows! That honest reformers will bury slight differ ences in order to defeat Republicans. In Person ceunty the People's party nominated W. F. Reads and the Demo crats nominated G. G. Moore for the legislature. In a close county like Person their candidacy insured Republican suc cess. When this became apparent Mr. Reade agreed to withdraw and not jeop ardize good government. Hi action wm wise. Every man in the State who has been nominated in a close county by the new party, who has heretofore been a Democrat, assumes a terrible responsi bility if he does not follow Mr. Reade's example. If the Republicans shall win he will have to say; "I am responsible " s or the calamity that has come to my people. Boodle plentifully used is the only re iance of the Republicans to carry the election this year. They are getting it in large quantities from men made rich by tariff. The only way to fight the money power" is to vote for Cleveland wbo is the only President we have had in twenty-five years who was not influenced by that power.

The Democrats appreciate the picture, and there are cer tain things that they will think about now, and among others is the resolve to bring out the unanimous vote of the par ty w hich has long been in the majority, and another is to cut off from the study of monarchical customs in Russia all such Grand Old Party patriots as the editor of the Philadelphia Press. , Page McCartt.

Koonce, Esq., the candidate for Senator in the 9th dis trict on the Alliance platform, as a mat ter of truth and justice to Mr. Koonce, wish to say: First. Thrt Mr. Koonce joined the Alliance more than three years ago, and was made -county lecturer, andj that during his term of service rendered earnest, faithfjul and intelligent work for our order, and in responding to the nu merous calls made upon him in the last three years for service in the furtherance of the influence and usefulness of our organization, he has shown himself to lx; a devoted and earnest worker and he has our full confidence as an Alliancemau, and as a good eitizen of our county avs Mr. KooKCE. He now "sees clem ly," he says, and yet in what we rcg;i ! . his blindness, ho says that Koonce is t, . bad ft pill to swallow. To show the of Reformer Mr. Koonce is, we need on ' to say that he made his money (and h. rich) by bringing up old claims nga it. men in all sections of the State, brinui- suit in a justice's court and coinpellii., them to go all the way to Onslow . trial.

This shows what Mr. Thomi-sun t lion - I t of Mr. Koonce. What did the Alliance at the home of Mr. Koonce thinE-of him : Happily they, have given the .public an estimate of Mr. Koonce.
