A 1 VI r A l 1 1 -1 A your vniuaujc paper lur mis arucie. ua you have truthfully said, many old Whigs of North Carolina are "Sheep without a Shepherd," or, in other words, have no leader or party organi zation. This old party, once led by its Clay, its "Webster, its Badger, its Gaston, and its Stanleys the most glorious .of all farties was a party of principle. Its eading principles were founded upon what is called the Hamiltonian theory of the Government. That the adoption of the Constitution of the United States was the formation of a Government by the people, which was not only able to enforce its laws and protect its citizens, but also to protect itself. That it was more than a mere leaugue or compact. It also believed in a national banking system, and a tariff for the support of the Government and incidental protec tion ; while its old enemy, the Demo cratic party which was founded upon what is known as the Jefferson ian doc trine, and afterwards championed by Calhoun, Toombs, Clingman, and Yan cey held that the Constitution of the .United States was nothing more than a mere compact, or copartnership, en tered into by independent and sover eign States; and that any one of them had the right to secede and break up this compact at any time. This party also opposed a national banking sys tem said it was unconstitutional be lieved in a sub-treasury Yind hard mon ey. It also believed in free trade and sailors rights." and a direct tax for the support 'of the Federal Government. The great idea of this Democratic party was developed, and attempted to be en forced by Mr. Calhoun and his friends in the nullification movement of South Carolina in 1833 and was only defeated by the efforts of Mr. Clay and the in domitable' will of Jackson. But the snake was only scotched in 1833, and not killed.- Jefferson Davis was the successor of Calhoun, and he and his co-workers succeeded in 18G0 and 1861 in enforcing this great idea of "States Rights" by inflaming the Southern heart, which culminated in the attempted secession of the most of the Southern States of the Union. And a bloody and deso lating war was the result, as had been so truthfully and graphically predicted by the great leaders of the old Whig party -Clay and Webster. The success of this doctrine, under its tyrannical leaders, overthrew the old Whig party, whose members submit ted to the decision of the dominant par ty, and were compelled to participate in a war which they could upon principle. not justify But this terrible war and its results were not at all calculated to inspire any new love for its old political enemy the Democratic party.' And, in fact, many of them, while standing in the Confederate line of battle, swore eter nal hatred to the Democratic party for cessation of hostilities, the Whig party being no more, and the" choice being between the Democratic and Republi can parties, the natural position of ev- cry ow whig w3 in the Republican But this, unfortunately for the coun try as we think, was not the case ; and Democracy, bping again encouraged, declared the reconstruction policy of Congress unconstitutional, and the gov ernment erected upon it null and void. And failing at the ballot-box to elect officers that would so declare, and "dis perse these governments with the mil itary." undertook to do so by disguised midnight assassins what it was not able to do openly and in the light of day a policy only to be mentioned to the disgrace of every man connected with it. I have now shown you what some of the leading doctrines of the old Whig party were ; also, what the leading doc trines of the Democratic party are. And you see at once there is no harmo ny between the two, and noplace with in its folds for you. I now beg your attention for a short time to show what the leading doc trines of the Republican party are, and leave you to decide between the two. And in introducing you to this party I , cannot promise you that it is all that the old Whig party was in its palmiest days ; but between it and Democracy there is no comparison. The Republican party, like the Whig, is based upon the Hamiltonian doctrine believes the Constitution forms a Government of the people, and repudi ates the doctrines of secession. It be lieves in a national banking system which is now the policy of the Govern ment. It believes In a tariff for gov ernmental purposes and incidental pro tection to home industry. These were all leading doctrines of the old Whig party. . So, with these observations, I leave you to determine whether you will be a Republican or a Democrat for be tween the two you must choose before the next campaign closes. And before closing this communica tion permit me to say a word to the old reconstructed Democrats; for, while.it seems to me that there is every reason why old Whigs should now be Republicans, there is no reason why old Democrats, who fought it out and surrendered in good faith, should not als be Republicans. These Democrats, while they may have believed in the Jeffersonian theory and the right of a State to secede submitted that, ques tion to an arbitrament, which has been decided against them. And whether , they think it was decided right or not, the decision remains the same. And they, as good citizens, have abandoned these ideas, accepted the situation, and are now trying to make the most out of it they can. One of the great doctrines upon which the Government was foun ded." and now rests, is, that the decision of tne majority shall rule. And this doctrine destroyed, the Government itself is destroyed. I know that Jef ferson Davis, Robert Toombs, Jubal Early, and the Ku Klux Democracy, who have accepted nothing and say . nothing Is settled, cannot accept Re . publicanlsm. But with the reconstruc ted Democracy it is different. An Old Whig. The Great Republican party of this nation is founded upon principles that axe immutable eternal. It was . or ganized for a crand and noble purpose to carry the Republic safely through the severest ordeal ever a government experienced, and it has done so. The Declaration of . Independence and the Constitution of the United States being' the Important planks of its platform, it Is broad enough, and wide enough, aye, and strong enough, for every pa triot citizen to stand upon And while here and there a traitor to the cause" steps aside another drops in and the rank and lines are fuller to-day than ever before.

North Oarolinian(X The Two Conventions. The real character of the movement in which the Cincinnati Convention is to aid cannot be better shown than by pointing out some of the differences be tween that and the Republican National Convention. The meeting proposed at Cincinnati will not. in the flrsf place, be a convention at all, in the s?nse in which that word is ordinarily used in politics. That is, it is not an as-embly Gf delegates, representing definite con- stitucncies. ancf havinjr each his fixed representatives character. It is simply a'prc-arranged caucus of all whoehoose to join it. The Philadelphia Conven tion, oh the other hand, is the opposite of this. Its members will be chosen by substantially, uniform method.-, and will represent ' in fact, as well -as in name, the great mass of Republican voters throughout the country! It is the fashion in certain quarters to sneer at party machinery and doubtless it Works great injustice and scandals, hard to be borne at tiine But we presume it will not be denied that a delegate elected by ? party machinery td . take Sart in the selection of a candidate or a efinition of principles," is at leasTenti tled to more respect -than -one who is not elected at all, and -whose act ion is purely personal and entirely arbitrary. This is the most striking difference be tween the two conventions. One speaks, however imperfectly, for the gre.it mass of the voters who make up the Repub lican party, lire other speaks, una can speak, only for its own member. A difference of a kindred character is found in the fact that the Philadelphia Convention must act substantially in harmony with a long record, which the majority of the entire, nation ha$ from time to time made up. Its utterances and its action must not only feel the influence of what previous conventions have done, which nas become a part of the history of the country, but the sin cerity and stability of motive (of the Convention are secared by that fact. It would not dare, even if it were tenanted, to betray'any'bf the great' principles which the people have idoptedat the hands of its predecessorsnor would it dare to choose as its candidate any man suspected of treachery, actual or possi ble, to those principles. Doesanysuch limitation rest on the Cincinnati, gath ering? Is there anything to control the passions of its members, or toj guar- nntrv its rmrul fnllh in whnt it mnv profess? A few scorexf men come to gether ana call for a mass-meeting to take action on national affairs. jWhat reason have the people to trust the purity of their motives, the subordina-, tion of their own interests to thosethey profess to serve, the superiority of their political wisdom to that shown by the antnal ronrocmitntit'oa rf lii t-w-t vf t 9 $200 REWA Proclamation by the Governor.

The Fatigue of Washing Dav no Lonerer Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and uiean uiotning, ure. In calling public attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any otner washing ma chine yet invented,) are here enumerated. it is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. : I A child ten years old, with a lew nours practice, can thoroughly com prehend and effectually use it. There is no adi usting. no screws to anno v. no delav in adapting! It is always ready for use! It is a perlect little wonder I it is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly. One halt oi the labor is lully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one-half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly ! In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Laee Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM 1 it can be lastened to any tub and taKen on at will. ; No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Wasning Machines, the moment this little machine is seen to per form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once become the fast friends of the machine. : We have testimonials without end. setting lortn its numerous advantages over all oth ers, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which- i i , f a i i-i a . nave Higiiaiiy laiieu iu accompnsn me OD jectpromised in prominent and loud sound" mg advertisements. -It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount inducement to purcnasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of do mestic economy that will repay the small investment so soon. Q&.SO. All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly. Sole Agents for the United States. A. H.
