SpeechConstitutional Amend Mr. .Editor: Strolling down street yesterday,-1 was attracted to the court house by some . means, and upon step ping in for a very short time, I had the f leasure of listening to a portion of Mr. lughes' speech. And among .other things, I understood him to say. that unless we votedin favor of all the pro posed amendments to the constitution, we would loose all." In fact, he urged it upoa the people to support no man for the Legislature unless he . pledges himself unequivocally to vote for all the amendments as they now stand. I am glad that he made that statement, for if this be the case I am at no loss to tike a stand. I am, and have been in favor of some amendments to the con stitution. But if there was no other reason to justify me in opposing this Bill, the following amendment would bo all sufficient : 4 The General Assem KWsrinil nmvidefor asvstemof county Government for the several counties of .the State." Now I look upon this as placing the county governments in the hands of the Legislature entirely, sub- ject to De cnangea ami miemi w the whims and caprice of every Legis lature that convenes. This is entirely too insecure, the people will not find out what kind of government they have got, before it may be changed to some thing else, and besides it is no little ex pense to tear up one system and estab lish another. - , ... When the township system was first, talked of in this State, I had very seri ous doubts as to its expediency. But since we have tried them I am fully persuaded that they are more econom ical than the old system. 'And If I was bitterly opposed to the township sys tem, I would much rather submit to it than create a new system, which to say nothing of the expense incurred, would have no stability about it. But I am not surprised at the Democratic party in making this attempt. ; A goodly number of them are of the legal pro fession and since we are developing a cheap government, they are loosing in jHxket. and the more changes they can - i ik frvio Vioxr will rwMfPt.. And besides it is in keeping with their old habits, to tear down more than they can build up. ' Let us have the county governments riecured by the constitution of the State iu the same proportion that the State governments are secured by the consti tution of the United States, and then " we wil 1 feel somewhat secure. It is not the constitution they are so anxious about, it's office to get into power. But they'll find " Jordan a hard road to travol." ... w. ii. i. Raleigh, June 7th, 1872. V ' For the Carolina Era.

On Friday, the 31st of May, the Re publicans of McDowell county held at old Fort one of. the largest and most enthusiastic meetings ever held in the county. There were over twelve hun dred people present, and listened with earnest attention to addresses delivered by Col. William F. McKesson, of Burke, and Col. Win. F. Henderson, of Lex ington. - , it To give even a synopsis of these gen tlemen's addresses would swell this communication to inconvenient length ; let it therefore, suffice to say, that two more effective addresses have scarcely ever been delivered in this section of the State.

Thealwve Senatorial District, com liused of the counties of Greene and lxnoir, met in Convention at Kinston Saturday last, and nominated'Hon. R. W. King to represent them In the next I'ishiture. 'This is as it should be the reward of a faithful-and honest servant ; for it was alone due to the ef forts ami iniluencc of Mr. King that the apportionment of the 11th District was made to compose the counties of Lenoir and Greene instead of Duplin and Lenoir, as the Conservatives originally designed iU Had the latter prevailed, included in another District, then neither Lenoir nor Greene j but as it stands, they have a voice In the State Senate.

' The more so, " that Mr. Furches is a citizen of Iredell, which county has been honored by a choice having been made of one of -her citizens, his excel lent qualifications and great moral worth, his well-known devotion to all public and private trusts, and the fact that a gentleman more . worthy j of the confidence of all the people does not exist in the State.' " .' ' . V Mr. Furches is not, and never ;was, a politician by trade, and therefore, is unlike his opponent, who is a profes sional " in that line, . ' f Mr. Furches in former days, co-operated with the Whig rarty, and while a resident of Davie, served his fellow citizens a few times in the State; Legis lature, with usefulness to them and honor to himself. Then, as now, the people conferred office upon him, un sought, and public .confidence was re warded by faithful services. -! The people of Iredell, . who are so well acquainted with . Mr. Furches and his well-known record and purity, of character, , eminent qualifications for the position, ahd citizenship,' have more than an ordinary interest: in his success, and, laying aside considera tions of a party tendency it is hoped and believed that they will give him their support. It has been many years since a citizen of Iredell was a mem ber of Congress, in the person of Hon. Joseph P. Caldwell; an honor that the county should strive for again, and now when the opportunity i3 offered,' , , If elected, Mr. Furcb es has a record that will command art influence with the party in power, and although a Republican, his sentiments are or the Liberal kind, and his influence would be used for. the best interest of North Carolina in all rrespects. : Nono ; that know him will doubt this. . -j : The Democratic candidate , for , .Con gressional honors, Maj.

We see it stated in the Democratfc papers that this gentleman will not be a candidate on the Republican ticket for Congress from this District ;in ton sequence of the nomination by . the i wrvmi4 nf such a worthy man as the Hon.

Now, we look upon Mr. Ashe as a perfect gen tleman and a good man, and we have no doubt that he would make a siuta? ble representative of his party ; bnt he is not the kind of men whose services are needed just now in j the Legislative Halls of the Nation.) We need the services of such men as Col.

' But until that time arrives, and they, shall have their bitter prejudices worn away by time and brought forth food meet for repentance, we think it best ; to let the leaders in the late Rebellion -remain on the shelf, where they were5, placed by the result of the war in 1S65. We have not seen or heard from Col.
