North Carolina is ' governed by Be- nublicana and a Republican form, of t government,1 and all crimes committed are punished according to lawj and not by mob violence. Kentucky : Is under a Ku KJ.ux gov ernment, and crime committed in that State is punished by mobs undisguised. Rn ivTWPTfbl are 'the K'ti "Klnx in that State."! that they need no disguises to .perpetrate their violations of law. , ine aenzinet commenus -tveuiucKy ior ww . v i.rr a. i at her lawlessness, and condemns North Carolina for obeying the laws. Here w is the evidence upon which we base our I iLssertion. tairen irom . me meniinei oi thel2th:-f - i MIn Kentockv recently a negro violated a white woman. ; whereupon 2UX ; men, not disguised, took him from the jail and hung him In the 'presence of many people, who went opt to witness the sight. ; Jn this coun ty, a year ago, an aged and respectable lady wm drainred on the errormd with a rope tied about her beck: . v the woods and violated by a brute of. a negro.- This republican bratA ' was allowed to remain In the com mon fail undisturbed, except by the sheriff and the law, tlirougn. wnose agency finally hanged" . . How jhuch better North . Carolina ap- I pears: as a law-abiding people, in con- 1 trast with the lawless Kentucky mob,is ca.siiyfaetermmea uy u. nfn i-ko m na I of all narties. The Wake county rape, referred to by the Sentinel, was committed by a negro, and was a ' grievous offence,- for which Stinsonithe perpetrator, suffered death at the hands of the law. . He ha4 not the sympathy even of his own race, as the Jury before whom he was tried was composed entirely of colored men, and were all, of course, Republicans. ; What complaint can the Sentiiiel lodge against that Jury ? They were quick to convict, and the Judge hasty to have the villain hung. He was hung until he was dead ! What more could be done ? The crime was proven ; the law, and the jury, destroyed the life of the offender. It is time the Sentinel, whose editor is always asserting his loyalty, had dis continued its appeals to the base pas sions of a band of outlaws. We have crime enough already, and it behooves every good citizen to take his stand in defence of the law, and against mobs. We appeal to every fair-minded man, -if the above extract, taken from tne Sentinel, is not calculated to make a bad impression. The English lan- guage, as understood by JNortn uarou mians, and as put together in the said ex tract, bears this interpretation : " Ken tucky did right in not allowing a law ful trial to the negro who violated a white woman! Wake county, craven hearted and cowardly, let the law take its course1 in thecase of Stinson." Read for yourselfif it means anything else, we cannot see it. i But not satisfied with that, the Sen ,w. in its frenzied anger over defeat, finals the following foul slander upon rkffifp-holders. and the VCIUUUWU I Hon. Samuel F. : Phillips and His Ex cellency,1 Gov. Caldwell. We copy it in nur naoer. that our readers may see with what spite, with what unwar ranted venom, the restless spirit that .iVa CW.iz7 oar1rs thfi SEST;S otin, and of a nartv that respects law and order : If Republican office-holders andoffice vr wnuld allow the negro to remain at his work, there would be less of rape, arson and other crimes committed. . So long as Phillips and 0ov. Caldwell keep the ne Kroes' beads hot with whisky, let us hold them up as TBspoumuio iji mo w mitted bv the deluded Africans." It is well understood in this State that the assertion above quoted is de void of. that truth, necessary to make it current. At home it is harmless. Abroad, where the Sentinel is not it mav be received as truth a ji.j. this, however, admits of great uquuu Be that as it may, it would be better policy on the part of the Sentinel to con fine itself to facts, and draw less heav ily upon its distorted imagination. A STARTLING RUMOR HEAD.' 'OFF WITH HIS We hear it talked on the streets that Hon. Josiah Turner, Jr., is to be de posed as Editor of the Sentinel.

But the victory is npv yet com nTftf a. The triumDhal area , musi be erected and the trophy secured. The result or the late election na conclusively shown, i that the members of the present Legislature grossly mis represented the opinions and ,wishes of their constituents.

Turner, they do not propose, Jon the 3d of Xu tne wxsnes 01 r iuo pwuxo, . t . r r . : i gust, but; on the other hand- threaten to impeach certain officials, and to levy the; tax on the public debt.

AYrtprted because, any attempt at im peachment and enormous extravagance noik will be insufferable. I And it is monstrous that these men, after haying committed perjury twice, r as fully as they could possibly do by failing to levy the tax on the public debt at their next meeting, should shrink with so much horror from, the deed simply because this would bo for the relief of the people. These haughty, arrogant and rebellious servants must be hum bled by their all-powerful masters, the people; they must be relieved of the infamous sin of perjury the levy of the tax must be prevented ; and more over, to insure our common weal, the wishes of the people must be respected, their rights asserted, and Usurpers re proved. The people must instruct tneir Representatives. This is their sole, inhe rent and inalienable right, guaranteed to them by the Bill of Rights. There is no need of going outside the Constitu tion to find it no need of strained in ference, or contorted instruction : it is there, as plain as the sun at unciouued noonday. It is the great bulwark of the people's rights and sovereignty. It is the shield against usurpation and treason to public trust by the servants of the people.

ORANGE THE ELECTION. ,. ( at t? "Rtittoti. : We havO gained a brilliant victory in Orange. At: tne last election the vote stood, ! 1708 for Shipp' and 991 for Phillips : the vote, . , on Thursday last, was Conventipn , 1752, ho Convention lztw, a gam wr f the anti-Conventionists, as you will see, of 264 votes. Notwithstanding the leaders oi tne uonservauve paxvy reside in Orange county, and exerted all their power and inuueuue m me, canvass, the party could rally only1 44 votes more than tney poueu i me , last general election, while the itepuD licansi the only true Conservatives, polled 308 more than weref cast for Phillips. I The county was thoroughly canyassed py iov. wranam, aiiu uy half-score of other conservative BpjaW- - ers of more or less local influence, on the other side, there were but three RTWAv-fiPa. including 1 Including, the candidates aWingt Convention; it is needless to y they. did funy 1 their Iduty.

Unhidden and unwelcome guests will often appear when least expected, and sometimes under tne most muicruus circumstances. The Atlantic Sun of recent date tells that an improvised ne gro campmeeting 0 was held near Cov- V l I : nf mirViiK Wraa on lUgUJUj ill VlCOigit, O.K r, mvii . immense crowd from the surrounding country." They came up by every con-; veyance, and soon outnumoenng meir white brethren, who were holding forth in another part oi tne town, uikj . large number went from Atlanta. The big preacher of the occasion was Joe Woods, weil Known in inm city hs good drayman and an unusually good negro generally.

I He Just gave one long, strong and decided pull, as a mule! only knows how ito give, and snapped the rope which held him to a swinging limb. He apparently closed his eyes and went it blind, for as soon as he was freed from the limb he made right for the congregation, with head and tail erect. He unceremoniously plunged into the crowd of devout blacks, scattering them in every direction. A wide opening was made for the mule, which never halted until he arrived right in front of the pulpit, among the mourners and preacners. -. li- etc I -
