. .. S THURSDAY, MAY SOth, 1872. Increase the circulation of The Era and von deal Democracy a terrible blow. Democrats can't stand the truth. Fifty Democratic members of Con gress, full half the whole number, have slimed & letter calline for a straight Democratic ticket at Baltimore. Hon. -A. S. Merrimon, Democratic candidate for Governor, drew the bills bv which Geo. W. Swepson robbed North Carolina of ten millions of dollars. Hon. Thomas L. Clingman drew the Democratic platform at Greensboro' and swears that he received more than Fifteen Thousand Dollars from Swep son.. Gen. Stanley Matthews, who was the temporary chairman of the Cincinnati Convention is out in a letter in which he disavows every thins he did and said in that gathering. It is very significant that the New York I Democratic State Convention, which was held on the 15th inst., did not indorse Mr. Greeley. The delegates to Baltimore are instructed to take the . course best suited to secure the selec- tion of such candidates as shall meet the approval of the Democracy in con vention assembled."

Editor: Judge Merrimon Western N. C. Railroad, by which the State lost TEN MILLIONS OF DOL DARS. Judge Merrimon knew when he drew Swepson's bills that a debt of TEN MILLIONS would be incurred. Judge Merrimon did not protest against the passage of the bills, but drew bill after bill and pocketed Swepson's money for so doing. Swepson J Cling man, and Merrimon were "cheek by jowl " in the bond matter, 1 judging by the evidence of the Fraud Commission Report. So much for Judge Merrimon. Gen.

Judge Merrimon's speech ' presented not one new point, not one idea which has hot been constantly ding-donged into tne ears of our people since tneear- er, liest days of reconstruction. " Nig: "scallawag," "carpet-bagger," Kirk war," "Holden," " Littlefield " and "Swepson," make up his entire speech. The Judge is said to be a man of abil ity ; no one would suppose it from the efforts he has of late been making. The line of defense he and all his party speakers have undertaken is calculated not to display ability or to enspire con fidence, but to expose a man's weak ness and win for him the reputation of Greetinnr.

Congress has passed an Amnesty Act, which relieves all persons of disabili ties imposed by the Hth Amendment, except Senators and Representatives of the 3Gth and 37th Congress, officers in the judicial, military, and naval ser- vice, Heads of Departments and Foreign Ministers. This exception covers about ' two hundred and fifty persons. We would have been glad had there been no exceptions. The Republicans of the Eighth Con crressional District held their Conven tion at Ashevillebn the 18th inst., and nominated Mr. W. G. Candler, of Bun combe, for Congress. This is a good nomination. Mr. (imcller is a gentleman of high charac ter, a true Republican, competent to fill the Dosltion. and worthy of the A r united support of his party. He can be elected. The Republicans of the Mountain District must put their shoul ders to the wheel and give the whole ticket: a rousing majority in August and November. - dies, some with suckling babes at their breasts, were arrested and confined in that Bull Pen, for no other crime tnan because they were the mothers,! wives, In opening Gov.

This is a slight outline of Gen. Leven- Government. The Governor said that he was generally more ashamed when beaten than when elected. Judge Mer rimon was also a candidate in 1868 for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The Governor asked Judge Merrimon why he was a candidate that year?

From every iortion of the State we have the most cheering news. Lead ing Republicans write us that our suc cess U certain in August and November unless bad. worthless nominations are made for the Legislature and. County officers.

I That The Courier will endorse all the sins of Merrimon. Leventhorpe, and Graham, we doubt not. 1 ciigcaiice. The Republicans of Franklin, Nash and Wilson counties met at Nashville on Wednesday, the 22d inst., for the puriKise of nominating two candidates for the Senate. The meeting was or ganized by calling Rev. James Reid Jo the chair. A committee on Credentials . were appointed, and during their ab sence Gen. Willie D. Jones entertained the meeting with n ringing speech. He vindicated the Republican party and arraigned the Democracy for their crimes and corruption. A committee on Resolutions were appointed, and during their absence Misj. W. A. Smith addressed the meeting in one of his best efforts. , He showed up the De mocracy in their true colors. Messrs. G. -W. Stanton, of Wilson, juid B. F. Bullock, of Franklin, were nominated for the Senate. These nom inations are conclusive evidence that our friends are determined to put forth their strongest and best men. Messrs. Stanton and Bullock will be elected by large majorities. They will carry ev ery county In their district. V" Smith stock is above par in Nash. Economy with a The Democrats are boasting, of the f eforms and retrenchments effected by the last Legislature. We give a single instance of their duplicity and double- dealing. They claim to have abolish ed the office of Supreme Court Repor ter. The truth is they have only trans ferred the duties and pay to the Attor ney ueneral whose emoluments now foot up thus: As Attorney General, For attending on Supremo Court, As Fraud Commissioner. As Reporter, Sale of Reports, $l00 .200 1,500 600 1,000 Makinj -$4,800 And jet when the Governor sent this same Attorney General to Rutherford coun ty to investigate the Ku Klux outrages, he charged his expenses to the State, and the Legislature allowed them and ordered the Treasurer to pay them ! That's the war the Democrats retrench ! J Thus far, SS0 delegates to the Phila delphia Convention have been elected. Of these 3C3 have been instructed for Gen. Grant, being more than the whole number required to nominate: Of these latter but ten are office holders Of any kind, a fact which is commended to the attention of those who talk of a packed 'office holders' convention. The Phila- delphlaris have appointed any number of committees to make arrangements for the 'Convention, and they seem to be all actively at work. figures. In reply, Gov. Caldwell reminded the audience that Judge Merrimon had said .that an arch angel could hot an swer his (Merrimon's) speech, and of course it was not expected that he (Caldwell) could answer it. But, says the Governor, I think it will be like the fight between Goliah of Gath and David. You remember that David was a slender Shepherd's boy, and that he struck Goliah in the head with a stone from "his sling, and killed the philis tive giant. It is possible I may be able to answer the speech of the arch angel Merrimon as successfully as David fought Goliah. Dispersed through his speeches the Governor would allude to Judge Merrimon as the arch angel candidate for Governor. This broke the' Judge and at this place he said "nary "word" about the arch angel.. The Governor reviewed his entire course as Governor, and spoke of the Lo wery bandi tti. He said that the Dem ocrats abused him for not sending mi litia after them when the Democratic Legislature had repealed every law allowing him to organize militia and solid them to Robeson county. That the people of Robeson were indebted toa Democratic Legislature for the iriurders and outrages of Lowrey and his band. The Governor spoke of the Convention'bill, and said he refused to issue his proclamation thinking that impeachment would follow. Judge Merrimon said that if Gov. Caldwell had a right to refuse to execute the Convention bill he had the right to violate the election law. The Governor replied: "No; whenever you pass an unconstitutional law that does not re quire me to violate my oath of office, I will await and abide the decision of the Courts ; but I would have j-ou re member that the Supreme Court did not do my swearing when I took my oath of office. So whenever you pass a Jaw to make me violate my oath of office, you may expeet me to disre gard said law at least so far as it inter- fears with my oath. . f He carefully and fully showed up Judge Merrimon's record on the Swep son. matter. He detailed how Swep son brought him out of the obscurity of the mountains; put him into a fine office at his elbow; how he kept him there to draw up the bills which caused that immense debt of which Merrimon so feeling speaks of. Right and left, up and down, did Gov. Caldwell give it to his honor, Judge Merrimon, "in a way he did dispise." - It is an undoubted fact that the Gov ernor is much more than a match for his opponent. Herein Fayetteville it is an admitted fact that this is so. It is only to be hoped that the Governor will take every opportunity to meet Judge Merrimon and engage him in joint discussion. ! : At night there was a very large mass meeting of the Republicans, at which able speeches were made by Col. Har grove, Judge Settle and Col. Neil Mc Kay. Stephen A. Douglas also ad dressed the meeting, i There was much enthusiasm and certainty of a brilliant victory in the approaching contests. I am informed that the discussions at Carthage and Jonesboro were equally favorable to Gov. Caldwell and the Re publicans. The Republican cause is strengthened wherever Gov. Caldwell speaks. I hear of constant accessions to the party and not a change against us. We shall carry Chatham, Moore and . Cumberland ' without a doubt. Our friends are jubilant everywhere. They are determined to nominate none but good and true men; to work hard during the campaign; canvass thor oughly every township in the different counties anu get oui a iun vote. ' . !
