Ap I am cones be "LreaTOst burv its d i The llepublican party nas inscriDeu upon its banners, Equal Rights,1 Civil and Religious Liberty, Free Schools, Progress, Justice. This party presents to you for its standard-bearer in North Carolina. Gov. Tod R. Caldwell, (loud applause,) a name that commends itself xo me loyai arm puinouu peuiJiu ui ic State; a man; who in the darkest hour of the late struggle became Governor, and who has executed the duties' of his high office with the greatest credit to himself; the State, and to the satisfac tion of all who are in favor of law, or der, peace and quiet. (Applausej) The Democratic-Conservative party f have only one charge against Gov. Caldwell, and that is, he is a despot, because he would not and will not obey their be hests, nor yiolate his obligations to the people. . Judge Settle here entered, into a de tailed statement in regard te the; man ner in which the last legislature was elected, their, diabolical scheme to call a Convention,' overturn the State gov ernment and the Supreme Court, and how Gov. Caldwell had nipped in the bud all their plans and schemes, l . THE KIRK-BEI.GEN WAR. VANCE'S MILITIA. ; J Judge Settle then spoke of Holden's Militia, and instituted a comparison between what they did and what was done by Ex-G6v. Vance's Militia, un der the direction of Genl Leventhorpe, the Democratic candidateTfor Auditor, and others. He gave a history;of the 'Bull Pens" in Randolph spoke of the maltreatment of Owen's wife ; of the murder of Owen ; of the brutality of Col. Albert Pike, one of Vance's Militia Colonels, whose barbarity and savageness so entirely outstripped everything that Kirk and his men had ever done, continuing, ne saiu: i the Democratic party insist on bringing up these things in order to promote their cause, then will Republicans un earth and bring again to light, at least a few of tho things that belong tothe dead past, and which many of their prime leaders Know too mucn aooui for their own or their party's good at this time. He said, I was in favor, and am still, of carrying on this campaign on the merits of the platforms of the two parties, and the candidates: but I find the other side means abusej slan der and villification, and appeals to Dassion and prejudice. Then if Greek must meet Greek, we are ready for the tug of war. BLACK SLAVEIiY VS WHITE SLAVERY. When we of the South found our selves vanquished, we laid clown our arms. We lost our slaves they were freed bv the war. The majority pf the thinking men of both parties agree that slaverv was a curse instead of rf! bless ing. The black man is now free; with all the rights and privilejres. duties and responsibilities of other free, men. Black slavery is dead, but nov we have white slavery. The chains that bound the black man have been! hung around the neck of the white man Every man who joined the Invisible Empire, White Brotherhood or Ku Klux Klan became a slave to those who duped him into it, and a slave to base and hellish designs. Wyatt Outlaw was hung, Puryear was drowned, Ste phens was murdered, Corliss was scourged, Caswell Holt was shot, Shoff ner was driven into exile, through the machinations of this damnable organ ization ; and the men who ruled that organization are the ones who erected tho " Bull Pens" and acted as 41 Tith ing'.' officers; and who had charge of 'conscriptions" in this stateduringtne war. Every man who joined theKu Klux -and assisted in murder was a "slave of the master" who plotted and schemed the murder. I would not be disposed to visit vengeance upon the rank and file of the Ku Klux Klah, but I demand that the leaders be brdught to justice and that the law be vindi cated in full. I believe there are hun dreds and hundreds of men who con nected themselves with the Ku Klux, who are now sorry -for it and ( who watch the pppoitunity to get. out pf it ; and until this unpatriotic and unholy "League of Murder" is broken up, there is White Slavery wherever it is established ; and we, as Republicans, desire to abolish Slavery, wherever and in whatever form it may exist. GENERAL GRANT THE ADMINISTRA TION. . the National Republican party, Judge Settle said: Nearly, if not all, of the States that have thus far chosen (dele gates to the Natienal Republican Con vention, nave instructed mem io sup port President Grant for re-election. . . V A A 11 1 1- (Applause.) -"l-interpret mis to meau that he will be the next President, (great applause) all reports to thej con trary notwithstanding. (Applauseand laughter.) General Grant, by his. re markable series of triumphs in the; field of baf tle,'and by his equally remarka ble success in . executing tlje -Reconstruction Acts, has twice rescued the country from the greatest perils that ever encompassed it. His consummate ability,, and the loyalty he has exhibit ed in every emergency of peace and war, have made him the most illustri ous exponent of the principles whidi were fought for, and. which triuniphed in the war of the rebellion ; (loud ap ulause.. and he was the natural success or of Abraham Lincoln (cheers) in the affections of the American . people. fLoud applause.)

JN CONCLUDING HIS REMARKS Judge Settle paid an eloquent tribute to Gov. uaidweii, ana urgea au to cast their votes for him and make him Gov ernor of North .Carolina for the next fourlyears. j After describing tne manner in wnicn GovVHolden had been stricken down tor his efforts in ibehalf of the poor and defenceless, he said : When Governor Holtlen fell, Tod R. Caldwell stepped forward and assumed the duties and responsibilities jof command, and he profed a bulwark to the citadel of .our liberties, sit . was a grand spectacle a braie man nobly doing his duty amid 2 m a v a i mi a storm oi tnreats ana aouse. j.ney threatened to impeach him and he had thejest of reasons for believing they woiHd do .so, for we had all just seen our chief fall ; but nothing daunted, Go. Caldwell let them know that they wo&ld have to pass over his dead body, before they could destroy the liberties of His people; and ku klux-like, with an eye to saletyj tney quaiieu. ivmiast a storm of abuse and tnreats, he stood like a rock, and to his moral heroism wof'to-d jy owe our liberties.

Geo. M. Arnold, 1 s pta !p . Tnos. M. Owen, ; becretaries:. Important. We call upon the . Republican jpur- . nals of the- State to make the people thoroughly acquainted with the provis ions of the "Election and Registration Act" passed by the last Legislature. We intend, before a great while,vto nublish the whole, or lmnortant sec tions, of the law, so that Republicans can meet its new. and universal re quirements. The object of t he Act was undoubtedly to prevent- a full Repub lican vote from being polled. Especial ly ought attention to be paid to the re quirements for Registration of voters. We urge Republicans of every town ship to organize-and appoint commit tees to see that all our voters are prop erly registered before the day of elec tion. There, is no use of exclaiming that the Act, so far as registration is concerne'd, is unconstitutional. That will do no good. If the matter is neg lected, it may be the means of our los ing the State. The election this year, is on Thursday, the first day of August. Registration must be completed before that day. ! The seventh i section of the Act is as follows: Sec. 7. Xo elector shall be entitled to reg ister or vote, in other precinct or township, than the one in which he is an actual and bona fide resident on the day of election, and no '. certificate of 'registration shall be given. ' Sec. 11. JNo registration shall be allowed on the daj of election, but if any person shall give satisfactory evidence to the judges of the eleotion that he has come of the age of twenty-one years on the day of election, or has, for any 'other reason, become on that day entitled to register, he shall be allowed to register and vote. ... By the provisions of the sixth sec tion, the Registrars must sit each day, (Sundays excepted,) from, the first Thursday In July, up to and including the day preceding the first Thursday in August. Th is does not include election day. Daring the time above mention ed, those entitled to register, whose names are not on the books, can have that privilege. It is our advice that every voter, whether he has been be fore registered or not, should see to it that his name is properly entered upon the books. We again urge the town ships to appoint Committees to take this matter in hand. Organization is the soul of strength. Neio North Slate. On the Rant. The would-have-been Associate Jus tice. Ah Sin Merrimon. the Ku Klux Gubernatorial candidate arid his breth ren are "on the rant," because The Era charges that he was once a Union man and a particular friend of George W. Kirk. There is no use denying the fact, it is true. It was charged in 1868 and Ah. Sin denied it, but the denial then was as futile as it will be now. His being a Union man during the war and at the close, is commendable, but his desertion of his Union principles, his Union friends and the party that preserved the Union, for office and a share of Democratic spoils, is what we denounce. And though there might not have beenj anything reprehensible in his inviting Kirk into a meeting, sitting side by side with the Union sol dier, and offering resolutions of thanks to him to George W. Kirk, whose hands the Ku Klux will doubtless say, were yet reeking wth tbe blood of murdered Southerners ; yet we cannot see with-what consistency Ah Sin can denounce the "Tennessee murderer and desperado." That Ah sin did offer the resolution of thanks to-Kirk, there is, no doubt. We have been informed by one that was present, a very reliable and "highly responsible gentleman, that such was the case. If Ah Sin's record is an inconsistent one, it is his own fault, and he should "grin and bear" the consequences. ' In reference to these attacks we will quote an old saying :) "Guilty men alone tear them, or are hurt by them,Avhose actions will not bear examination. 'Tis Fact alone, which annoys them.'? A. S. Merrimon ' was a Union man and did offer resolutions of thanks to George W. Kirk, and if the charge l hurts, - it must hurt. No amount of "ranting77 will drive the Kepublicans from making it, and more inan that, he bartered his principles to the Klan for an Associate Justiceship on the Su preme Court Bench. vLet Ah Sin and his "brethren" rant as much aud as loudly as they will, the inconsistency of his record and the in famous treason to his principles and to his friends will be fully exposed; be- tween tnis and tne nrst mursaay in glory" to sink into the contempt which JRis venai treason to nome principles must and will consign him.

A month ago we thought the bill would have been a ' law in afew days. Our information -from Senator Jool was, that tLe only' difficulty to be appro Mr. Cobb, member from ) the 1st -District, informed us in Raleigh, when We. met him at the Convention, that he had the bill pass ed by the House and sent . to the Senate. Why it hangs fixe there, we are unable to telL The responsibility .must ; rest with Senator Pool for its delay or defeat. : Wes tern Republicans : have done all in their; power to secure the passage of the measure. It is one of great importance to the people and is . much desired by all parties.' We hope Senator Pool will urge this matter to an early passage. , . . '. . Minoritt Representation. The fol lowing question was raised in the CongreS' sional Convention at Franklinton on the 15th inst: r-:r.r, lias a majority or delegates irpm any county thel right to cast the entire vote of the county,-and thus exelude the minority from representation? v , ', ' The President decided ; That a majority ol delegate from any county have not the right to vote the entire vote of the county, and that the minority were entitled to cast , their proportionable part of the vote. - iM j ji From this . decision Hon. Jo. W.' Holden appealed. The Convention sustained the President by very nearly a unanimous vote. ' ':" ' "' We publish this action for the benefit of Conventions to be held hereafter. Whats in a Name? The Democrats of Franklin, Nash and Wilson convened i Nashville last Thursday. W. K. Davis, of Franklin, and another man was nominated -as Senators from that District. The Battle- boro Advance and the Daily News says the other man was- J. W. Danham, of Wilson, but the Sentinel says it was "Major John W. Demham." We suppose it is the gen tleman whbfigures in the Auditor's Report (printed at the Sentinel office) as " John W Dencham." . J! ! The Cause of Temperance finds some of its most insidious and dangerous foe's in the many so-called " tonics " and " appe tizers," made of cheap whisky and refuse liquors, finished up to suit depraved appe tites, under the name of medicines. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters are none of these. They are not a beverager but a genuine medicine purely vegetable, prepared from California herbs by a regular physician. For all diseases ofthe stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder,' skin and blood, they are an infallible ; and unrivalled remedy. ; . 142 4 w.
