You will not be surprised, therefore, to find me an irreg ular correspondent. At the moment when the country was called to confront the last civil war, a consequence of its adoption of the policy of restricting slavery, I was re quired to take upon myself a part in the executive administration. I knew then that liberty and constitutional union were inseparable, and that a failure of the administration to save them would consign all concerned in it to eternal infamy. I thought, on tho other hand, that my own part, however humble, in the rescue, ought to be enough to crown a loyal ambition. I knew, moreover, that I could not perform the very difficult part successfully without making a sacrifice of all personal and party prejudices, and aspirations for after life. I therefore cheerfully and openly pledged myself to that sacrifice. I thus secured a retirement from political life at the end of that struggle, which has become pleasant tome. If any of my fellow-citizens think I anr not entitled to en joy it, for the reasons I have mentioned, they will concede it to mo when they know that it has now become indispensable to the preservation of health in advancing years. Now, however, not less than at any former time, do I think it the duty of every citizen to leave no uncertainty to exist concerning the principles and policy which govern his vote. I have seen no sufficient reason to withdraw mine from the support of the principles and policy which carried the country safely through the civil conflict, or from the party organization and. candidates who represent them. This must be my short reply to your long and much esteemed letter. Very sincerely yours, William II. Seward. Give us Peace, Law and Justice. The knowledse that'tthere Is in this community a person or persons capa ble of blowing up houses in the heart of the city, is of itself sufficiently start ling to the minds of all our people; but when the entire press of a great party,, with one accord, seek to inflame the passions of the vicious by virtually calling for retaliation in kind on the persons and property of the members of an other political party, the condi tion of affairs is absolutely alarming. If the teaching of these organs have any practical result all sense of security and assurances of peace are lost to the whole people of the State. In the severest language and most fitting terms we could employ, we have denounced the gun powder outrage in this city on Thursday night of last week, and we shall so continue to de nounce it ; nor shall we be less severe in our denunciation of such party jour nals as attempt to make party capital out of this occurrence at the expense of the peace and good feeling of the State; and which, in the absence of all proof and circumstances pointing in that di rection, have boldly and unqualifiedly charged the destruction of The Sentinel office to the Republican party, the po litical opponents of Mr. Josiah Turner. We charge therefore, in the most un qualified terms, that the so-called Dem ocratic presses and politicians, in an vance of a judicial investigation, are seeking to prejudge this matter; have wilfully and maliciously seized upon a deplorable and universally condemned occurrence to manufacture an intense political sentiment in their favor, at the risk of the property and lives of the peo ple of the State, to say nothing of their manifestly reckless purpose to perpe trate an outrage and an injustice on the Republican party on each and every doubtful occasion. The Xcavs Enterprise. We publish the article of T7te JXeics on the blow up " of Friday morn ing ; and for the present have only this comment to make, the outrage occur ring at one o'clock in the morning makes the enterprise of The 2sevcs ap parent to those who read the article in the early morning paper. This is what we call live journalism. Temporary Suspension of the Sen tinel. 27ie Sentinel of the 11th announced a suspension until tho 28th Inst., to give time for restoring the material and re habilitating the office. Our tender of assistance was accepted, and the weekly edition of Tlie Sentinel for this week was accordingly runoff on The Era press, and will reach the patrons of the paper as usual. " The United States Scnatorship. This election before the next Legis lature begins to assume som significant Merriraon will contest for tho place with ex-Governor Vance; and they do say that Merrimon is becoming a dan gerous rival of the jolly and gallant ex Governor ; while with the moral effect of Grant's election, the Republicans by no means despair of returning a Senator of their own party. btate by fifteen thousand majority. The Republicans make large gains in the interior and lose in Cincinnati. Thirteen of the twenty Congressmen uie ivepuuiioins. Cincinnati is in Hamilton county, and this is the first time the Republicans ever carried the State without Hamilton county giving a large Republican majority. Indiana is a debatable State. In this State the Republicans elect their State ticket excepting the Governor. They elect two Congressmen at Large, and nine in the Districts ; they have four majority in tho Senate and eight in the House. Mr. Hendricks, Democratic candidate for Governor, runs ahead of his ticket and is elected by about five hundred majority. Nebraska is Republican by six thou sand. Republicans elect their State ticket and the Congressmen. Thus it will be seen that three of the largest States in the Union have main tained their positions as Republican States. Mr. Greeley's cake is all dough. The Republicans' of North Carolina must work with all energy and get out a full vote. There is no time to spare. Cemmence the good work at once. Rally in the Townships. Appoint sub electors for each Township; canvass thoroughly and we will give Grant ten thouf and majority. the election news from the North. A correspondent at that place, a man of courage, character and stand in, sends the following : 15 the Editor of Tlie Era : Bin A Republican meeting held at this place khjs, Thursday night, to rejoice over recent victories was most shamefully and difsgraCe fully interrupted, and the speakers insulted by an organized band of Demo cratic roughs and rowdies. Mr. Lusk, the Ui.S.; District Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, who spoke for about an hour, was systematical! v hooted. hi$sed, groaned and otherwiso annoyed throughout his whole speech. . Col. Ilender son.who followed him was still worse treated anjet though he repelled the offensive lan gujagciwith great spirit and effect throughout hii whole speech the row and disturbance continued and seemed likely to terminate in violence. Judge Tom-gee followed in a withering rebuke of the disgraceful con dict of the crowd, but was frequently salut edj with hisses and offensive language. M.'Erwin, one of the Republican Electors, fo tl Stato at large, next appeared and was saiuted with a storm of yells, hisses and brjiys , which, prevented him from being hehrd for several minutes, and this treat- mint was kept up throughout the whole of hi speech. The Mayor of the town, a Dem ocrat, it is said was present during the time ofthese disturbances but made no effort to suppress this scandalous and disgraceful conduct. Chappaquack. Tlie Authorities. The Municipal, County and State authorities should leave no . stone un turned ic their Investigation of the outrage of Thursday night, and spare neither time nor expesso In ferreting out the guilty party. No one & safe when outrages like this can be perpe trated In a community with impunity. Not only our personal safety and pecu niary interest, but our character and reputation as a people are at stake. " ' 3y e; would like to know how gentle men can defend such conduct as this ; arid we are amazed that respectable lexers of the "Democracy" at Greens boro should have permitted such dis giaceful proceedings. Such scenes only make more appa rent the blessings to the country of the recent Republican triumph at the North aild in this State, for it is perfectly pfein that suppression of the liberty of speech, freedom of the press and free dom of person are now among the car dinal principles of this party of "recon cijiatipn" and "reform." Barn-Yard. Greeley Returning from Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl vania. . The Presidential Election occurs d the. first Tuesday of November next. Destruction of The Sentinel Office. The blowing up of The Sentinel office on Thursday night was a dastardly outrage that cannot be too severely de nounced by the entire press and people of this community as well as of ths whole State and country. Whoever may have been the parties, or whatever the motive or provocation, the fact discloses a disordered and dan gerous state of things among us, which if not checked may lead to serious con sequences alarming to the whole country. Whether to gratify personal malice or political hate, the perpetrator of this outrage is guilty of one. of the highest crimes against the whole com munity, and especially against the party in opposition to the party of which The Seiitinel was an organ, for in these days when political feeling is running so high, a secret outrage of this sort on a prominent member of one party, is aptto be charged, by a por tion of the community, to the opposite party. We were congratulating ourselves on the apparently increasing good feeling in the communitv. For a neriod-of f x some weeks the press of the city of all parties has virtually abstained from personal warfare, and nothing has of late appeared to arouse the passions of any one, and we hoped that we had reached a point in our political discus sion and the conduct of parties and presses wnere tne passions oi men would be no longer appealed to and personal journalism should disappear from the State altogether. The Republican party has been thus far triumphant in nearly every election held, and the November election throughout the country has been virtu ally settled In favor of the Republicans. We are all in the best possible humor; no fear of defeat; nothing in the politi cal situation to drive any Republican to desperation; as a party we are in a condition to cultivate the most friendly relations and generous good feeling to ward each and every individual mem ber of the party over which we have so signally triumphed. Heneo we do not ! Our Justification, j That the public may see our justifi cation in repelling the asaults of the " Democratic " press on the Republi can party for the occurrence in this city on Thursday night last, we permit the public to witness below how these assaults are made : Mr. Turner's friends feel assured that po litical malice was at the bottom of the dark and infamous deed. They believe it was instigated and set on foot by some member or members of the Radical party, because of The Sentinel" s bold and fearless denuncia tions of certain members of that party. If the political opponents of The Sentinel think they can injure that paper by such atrocious means, they win find that they will fail of their mark most signally. Ral eigh 2Tcw8, 12th inst. What are we to do ? No sane man can any more doubt that tho caiise for this last outrage was political en mity, than : he can doubt it was the motive for;all the preceding outrages. And has it come to this? Is this the first fruit of the Radical victories in the October elections ? Y e counsel qbedience to law and respect for its officers, under all circumstances. We cannot, better oui condition by a resort to violent measures, outside of the law, for the redress of grievances. We know this full well. The people ii power know it; but we beg them to remember that poor human nature can stand only a certain amount of pressure and of oppression, without forcing the desire for vengeance and for protection to crop out in violent retaliatory .measures. We beg them not to drive an already mad dened people to desperation. If such deeds as these are allowed to be enacted and to go unpunished, North Carolina will soon be a hell upon earth. Let the people in power not shut their eyes to the truth ! Wilming ton 'Journal, Oct. 12th. It is more than an attack upon the private rights of a citizen it is a deliberate, wan ton assault upon the public press a malig nant, diabolicol effort to stifle its voice and crush us ontspoken, free spirit.

Wilmington Star, Oct. 12th. Democrats ! Conservatives ! This blow was aimed at the liberty of the press, liber ty of tDueht and speech in the person of Josiah Turner, editor of The Sentinel. For the last four years he has fought manfully ana bravely in the cause of free govern ment ; he has fought corruption and dishon esty, he has fought combinations and rings formed to destroy the government and the liberties of the people. He has in the col umns of his newspaper been a true Sentinel upon the watch tower of liberty he has, for our sake, bared bis bosom to the attacks of assassini, and suffered in his person and family. He has i sustained a great loss, and his loss is our loss. . The attack upon him and his property as the representative of a principle is an attack upon us. . , Let us sus tain him let us make good his losses. As friends of good government and an honest administration, of the purify of the ballot box and the great principles of constitution al liberty, as opponents of corruption, dis honesty,; communism, crime and Radical ism, let us support him. ; , ... An Outrage on the Republican .r: Party. For the peace and goodprder, and the reputation of pur State, we regret to see the "Democratic" press in the State charging the destruction of Tlie Sentinel office on the Republican party Tne nrst assault of The JVews was ex cused by us at the time and set down to the inconsideration and impulse of the moment. But we notice in the Sunday's issue of that paper a deliber ate appeal for aid to Mr. Turner, not written by the editor, but inserted by request. In this appeal the outrage is distinctly charged as J political persecu tion, and reference is made to some dis reputable occurrences heretofore, in the nature of aUedged secret outrages upon Mr. Turner and liis family. The people of the State have only to refer to articles in the last issue of this paper to see how earnestly the outrage on The Sentinel office was denounced in Republican quarters ; "and in addition to this the attention of the reader is called to the proceedings of a meeting of Republicans held in Salisbury, on Saturday last. s .'. , . The perpetrators of this outrage arc as yet unknown to the public, and cer tain facts in our possession we are not allowed to give here, but when the reckless press of the opposition without preot of any kind charge this outrage indiscriminately upon the Republican party and to Republican leaders, we feel that we are not only justified, but that our duty to the Republican party of the country demands that we give expression to the sentiment and opin ions of a large majority of the citizens of the city, of all political parties, and that is that Mr. Turner himself de stroyed The Sentinel office, or procured it to be done ; while some others have expressed the opinion that an enemy or enemies of George W. Swepson, the alleged owner or mortgagee of The Sen tinel property, perpetrated the outrage; while still others have suspected cer tain persons late employees of that es tablishment, who had; been discharged and repeatedly warned away and driv en off the premises. As for ourselves we shall charge the act to no one in advance of an investi gation ; but we do protest against this outrage being laid at the door of the Republican party until some ground therefor shall have been established, and for these reasons : ; 1st. The Republicans deem The Sen tinel to have been of party advantage rather than political disadvantage to their party. ) 2nd. That Republicans, are reported to have furnished The Sentinel material aid in the way of money. ; 3rd. Thatit was generally understood that The Sentinel would suspend publi cation at the close of this month, if not sooner. 4th. That Mr. Turner is said to have had no property in The Sentinel; there forej either from motives of personal or political malice and revenge, no one could have sought to punish him through the destruction of property not "his own. 5th. That no Republican is so ignor ant as not to know that an occurrence of thl kind would be fastened on by the opposition to make votes and sen timent against the Republican party, and: sympathy and material aid for Mr. Turner; so that instead of injuring mm or nis party, if clone by his po litical enemies, this outrage could but redound to the benefit of both. Gth. That political parties do not usually work in this way, and least of all could the Republican party, now at the flood-tide of. success, and about to take another four years' lease of the general government, find it desirable, expedient or profitable to resort to the tactics of a beaten adversary tactics it is much more reasonable to suspect the "Democrats" Would have adopted in this hour of their peril, , when, as they have already shown, they are delight ed with this opportunity for a sensa tion of a character, assuming, as they have attempted to make it assume, great political significance before the people of the country. ; Hence, the hasty arid reckless charge of the opposition press constitute an outrage, on the Republican party, and raise in the public mind grave suspi cions as to the author or authors of the ate outrage that may react with fear ul force even before an. investigation may be had. but that it must end somehow, and at mun time not in the disant fucure, no tihiii? sophic thinker will doubt. It is altoiet S too abnormal, too much opposed to the j stinctivo feeling, some will say prejud'eoi" of the white race, to endure beyond tho culiar condition of popular opinion, brou 'l j about by a war prosecuted in the end XX freedom, if not the enfranchisement of .. negro. Gradually, in time, and under t! change of circumstances, this excer.tlon'.'i state; of the popular mind will wearW and pass away, and public opinion will V brate back to its old condition, as it exht.. V prior to the disturbing influences or ti.(( war. This will be brought about by one .'r two things: either by a rupture oftho ;v eminent itself, or the springing up of v)ln new and all-powerful party out ot tho ruj,u of the existing political organiza i ms ' 1 When either of these two things shall i. cur, and God grant It may not be the liit it will bo the political death of the negro in! this continent.
