of the vote, and all t the facts of the
case, to these headquarters, in or

POLITICAL.-
What we may Expect Read!
Read!
If the present Constitution is de
stroyed, the people will have mag
istrates elected for life who will
send the humble man to be whip
ped at the whipping-post for the
most trivial offense and who will
let the rich man off by his paying a
few dollars.
If the Democrats carry, the Con
vention the people will be loaded
down with taxation to pay rich
men for their slaves.
If the Democrats carry the Con
vention every man will be required
to exhibit a poll tax receipt before
he is allowed to vote, and the rich
man will be allowed an extra vote
fort overy
fivo hundred dollars of
property on which he pays taxes;
In this way, the working men of
North Carolina will be comoletelv
at the mercy of the rich land own-
ers and bond holders. , :
4If the Democrats carry the Con-
vention, the common school system
of the State will be destroyed. The
children of the workinsr white and
colored men will be allowed to
grow up In ignorance, while Jeff
Davis will be paid $8,000 a year out
of the hard earnings of the people
to act
as President of our Univer
sity and instil into the minds of the
rising generation more treason and
rebellion.
If the Democrats carry the Con
vention that humane provision of
our present Constitution by which
the : husband is allowed to insure
his life for the benefit of his wife,
and which cannot be taken for debt,
will be stricken out and the money
which should : go towards 1 the sup
port of the widows and. orphans of
the State will find its way into the
pockets of merciless nabobs and
heartless creditors. ; . i
If the Democrats carry the Con
vention, three-fourths of the poll-
tax j and all fines . and penalties
which are now devoted to common
schools will bo discontinued or per
haps devoted to the University to
educate rich men's sons.
If the Democrats carry the Con-
vention the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, which has so far stood as
a wall against an attempts of the
revolutionists to trample upon the
people's rights, will be overturned
and tho infamous Star Chamber 1
Court which arrested innocent men
and 'hurried them ,off to dismal
dungeons during the war will be
re-established.
tv. nomrAfa iwr ihr rv
vention the old County Courts will
be re-established, and instead of the
oresent convenient mode of trans-
acting business our people will be
subjected to the annoying delays
that prevailed in ante bellum days.
If the Democrats carry the Con
vention tho clause in our present
Constitution which allows the Leg
islature to exempt three hundred
dollars' worth of property from tax-
ation will bo stricken
out and our
people's little plunder of every de
scription will bo liable for sale by
the sheriff for taxes. ; r "., '
Lastly, if the Democrats carry
the Convention every liberal clause
of our present Constitution will be
stricken out and the people have no
chance to remedy it.
M Ky 11:
AFTERNOON, AUGUST 3 1875; -"M
k . Tlio Prospect.' -
We do not intend to misrepresent
the political outlook. : We mean
what we say when we assert that
the news from every section of the
Stateis of the most encouraging
character. If the signs of the times
are to be an indication of the com-
ing election, then the anti-Conven-
tion men will have a majority in
the body ranging from six to four-
teen, and will carry the State on
the popular vote by from at least
twelve to fifteen thousand majority;
We can. we think, calculate full v
. .. . . f t
on Lenoir, Washington, Greene,5
Wayne, Camden, Tyrrell, John
ston, Wake, Nash, Cumberland,:
Brunswick, Montgomery, Rich
mond, Robeson, Guilford, David
son, Mitchell, Yancey, . Madison,
Cherokee, Surry and Stokes. These
counties had Democratic represen
tatives in the late Legislature and
will be Republican gains. We can
doubtless make gains - in several
other, counties not named. This
calculation will givo us the Con
vention by about fourteen majority.
We say, therefore, that unless our
friends throughout the State are
greatly mistaken we are safe, and
the present Constitution, with all
the blessings it bestows upon the
people of North Carolina. will be
saved; ; -:
Peace and Quiet vs. Agitation,
If thft neonlA nf "NTm-th Hnrnlina
desire peace and prosperity, and
wish to avoid all the ills that neces
sarily flow from political disturban
ces, they should go to the polls on
Thursday next and vote down the
revolutionists. We warn them
again to cease from blindly follow
ing in the lead of men who, for the
past fourteen years, have brought
upon the country nothing but dis
aster. Remember, fellow-citizens.
that but for the very class of men
who are now, merely for the sake
of office, endeavoring to tear down
the Constitution 'of our State, our
citizens would be free from turmoil
and trouble; Remember, further,
that if they are not now defeated
the people of the State may expect
I nothing but agitation for 'years to
I come. 'What the people now need
is peace and quiet. The only way
to get it is to go to the pells arid
vote for such men as will adjourn
the Convention and return to ;- the
people the present Constitution un
der which for the past seven years
we have enjoyed so much genuine
prosperity.
Shall the late Corrupt Legisla
ture again Assemble ?
If Democrats control the Conven
tion, the session will be prolonged,
and the late Legislature, which Jo-
siah Turner has declared to be cor
rupt, will be called together again,
thus involving the laboring men of
the State in immense cost. Let the
people think of these things a nd
tell them to their neighbors. This
is a campaign in which the work
ing man is peculiarly interested.
The aristocracy of the - state are
pushing them to the wall, and they
must resist now or perhaps bo fpr-
ever ground down and oppressed;
A liaso Fabrication. r ; ..';)
The statement' of the difficulties
at iMilburnie on Saturday last, as
published in the Sentinel of yester
day evening, is not merely a mis-
representation, but is an infamous
falsehood, concocted merely to bol-
ster up a desperate cause. The lan-
guage attributed to Mr. Badger is
totally false and was no doubt the
invention of the man who penned
the article. The account which ap
peared in the Constitution of
vesterday is a truthful version of
the affair. Tho distortions of the
Sentinel will tend only t6 disgust

tIn reply to our friend at Mer-

tide to which he refers was of a
local character and intended for

by tho last Legislature.
'l Those persons on the, Repub

whom the Sentinel denominates 'car
I pet-baggers,,j have been in the State
for years, and have identified them-
selves With this people by purchase
ing property or using wedding unto
ladies, the daughters of North Car
olinians. The "Canadian" alluded
to by the Sentinel is, like one or two
of the carrot-baggers,", the owner
ot valuable real property, has been

children's mother was JL'nati ve here

Senator Matt W. Ransom has

said one word about that twenty

Zeb "Vance at the time that. great
joker withdrew from the contest for
