" ! i wmu.vtu.cMr. vivreyi 'wnen-j we arrived lie was pitching int6 carrot, lasers with a vim.. He rehearsed the stale falsehoods fabricated by the k. k. conservatives, -in 18G7-'63 concerning thP mule and 4a acres of land promised to each negro that would vote the Re publican ticket. A pure fabrication tie that ice colored people xcould never heard of had the? not heard it from con servative lips. He next addressed him self sneeringly to the idea of the exis tence of ku klux, he doubted their ex istence; if there was such a thing he was opposed to it, but was much more opposed to the. organization at Wash ington City headed by Gen. Grant. Yts, Gen. Carey deliberately tells us that he looks with less horror upon this murderous organization Which has been guilty of every crime known un der the sun, than he does upon the hand that: crushed it. We are not sur prised at this. The General being a member of the ku klux party,is in favor of all the means employed to obtain Iover, and opposed to any power that attempts to thwart the hellish purposes of his party. " He charged the Republi Gin party with caring nothing for the constitution and with a tendency to the centralization of power. He seem ed to ferget that It was the democrats themselves that inaugurated the cen tralization of power, m the passage of tne rugitive slave Din. mat monster of iniquity gave to the President more power than ever Grant has exercised under the ku klux laws. This central ization of power was all right when ex ercised in the interest of slavery, but all wrong when exercised in the Inter est of freedom. We have been taught that it is a poor rule that won't work both ways. A DAMAGING ADMISSION".

Ai mis remark fhrf was creat want of annlause. T-nm this nut the sneaker seemed to friiinrlpr. He struck solid ku klux rrminrl KAvpml times, howeveri on the IrtV 111 octinn th internal revenue, the tariff, but especially when he proposed rorMiiiiat the national aeDi nnu when he represented Grant as a milita ft blunder as a states man. On these he brought down the i,mmA Tint hA snnn marie a misstep. for he'attempted to w in the handful of coiorea men pre&eui, iluo P fr?hiitt tr ihf. immortal Lincoln. This r.mfrwi o rrtirl snnt. the sneaker's enthu siasm and eloquence were in vain, they : rested upon no responsive cord in the hearts of the 140 conservatives present. In vain did he assure them that Lincoln would have been the friend, associate, advocate and abettor of the ku klux as : he (the speaker) is, had he lived ; they 1 could not believe it.- they knew, that I Lincoln never could have decended so low. The statement of this morning's Era were fully verified. Carey has thrown off his cloak and appears in his true colors as a copperhead-ku klux Conservative. Watchman. - Charlotte,1 N.C., May 2, 1872.

This then is the biography of John Reilly, Radical candidate for Auditor," written by a Democrat who purports to be a citizen of Cumberland, col lect that this is the history of Sheriff Reilly from a Democratic standpoint, and the only charge that can be brought against hinTls that he was notbomin -forth Carolina, was not re-elected Sheriff of his county in 1870, and tnat he speculated in county scrip.
