North Carolina ready to quietly sur render . the power they now hold in their own hands, solely to allow the Legislature to appoint men to office over the heads of the people, who could not be elected to the offices to .which they may ; be appointed ? Are the people of this State willing to ac knowledge to the ; world that they are incapable of self government, and un fit to elect men to adininister and exe cute their laws? In this age of im provement and progress, let it not be said in truth . that the people are in competent to choose their public of ficers. . ,. ; Our present township and county government sysrems are satisfactory to the great body of the people, amd ex perience has not yet shown that they can be improved by taking the power out of the hands of the people.

Would he be satisfied with it in 1876? Keep him in private life. He won't do. 2335- Wonder if Vance was afraid that Sherman would get after him about the cotton ? Perhaps that is the reason he fled so fast when Tecumseh arived. "B. R." stands for Blockade Runner. It also stands for Badly Robbed like the people were in 1?64. "B. R." stands for Bad Running. Vance will appreciate it after the 7th of November. "B. R." stands for Brazen Rascality. That means holding the office of Gov ernor and being" a blockade runner at the same time. - , jg And now comej the news that California is safe fur Hayes and Wheeler by at least six thousand majority and that .Tilden will not get an electtoral vote on the Pacific coast. ,' - -.. ; . - . tU Now that a fair election is guaranteed to the people of South Carolina,' the Democracy . - speak rather disparagingly of ; an united South, t ' i . v-i- .. , : ..V:J, 5 ,!5EalrThef" Democrats' are so badly scared! that they ' have commanded Vance ' to return 'i immediately to the Westtrn part of the State.

VANCE RUN DOWN He Uses His Official Position for His Privati Rain - Kvv. , v w x . ab liereiuiuru sidieu, we uave Kept staBRng in the Coitstitution for a week of Jbo past several questions propounded to Z. B. Vance, the nominee of the ultra portion of the Democratic party for Governor of North Carolina. We made no direct charges against Vance, but rumors of a serious nature were afloat, and we deemed it due to the people of the State that the matter should bo ex pifl. : -$The Deittocr&tlo papers or this city maintained for some time an entire silence in relation to the matter, and it was not until Thursday morning that they in any manner noticed it On that morning the Sentinel and News both contained articles of an evasive character, to which we replied in the Constitution of Friday t last," and an nounced our determination to keep the questions prominently before the peo ple until answered. Vance was in the city onWednesday, and doubtless sug gested; the evasive articles which ap peared in the two Democratic papers alluded to on Thursday. Finding that it would be useless to longer dodge the question, the Sentinel of Saturday maEes a cleaxrioea of a part of Vance's con- necUon withthe blockade business, and acknowledges that Vance, in 1864. did engage m speculation UeQoverf North CaroUna, and that he did, in, con- nectionwUh a State's agent in England, engage WsywcKaae-ruunmg on his prt- vote account, t . The Sentinel savs : During the career of the Advance it was often suggested to Governor Vance. by friends familiar with " the " fact that I the executive allowance in Confederate money raa inadequate to the family J wants of the governor to allow the Ad vancetotake out ' some cotton on; his own private account. Governor Vance from nist to last persistently declined to make such use of the state's steamer to his owniorivate advantage. Towaaa tne close ot the war. Mr. Aiexanrer uoiue, oi iiinj xvVirkm f f t a A iWrannn urau the stara . seeinor that t.h cnirorn nr would Rake rio private advantage of the state steamer; invited him to avail him- self of has ships, four of which were in Wilminfcton at one time. Finallv Mr. Collie's ye.-? took out on private an- Some lime after the close of the war, Mr. Collip notified Governor Vance that the net proceeds of his cotton about three thousand dollars in gold, was standing to his credit on the books of his firm in England and that he (Gov. Vance,) could obtain the amount on application to Collie's New York agents, Dennis Town & Co. ! " This was in the latter part of the summer or early in tne fall or; lobo. This fundv Gov. Vance drew against on the New York house from time to time as his necessities required, and it was th4 money on jrhich Gov. Vance supported himself and lainlly for that period, succeeding tne war during which he was, by. the proscription of the United States government, prohibi ted from engaging in the practice of his profession or any other business for the support of his family. Now, fellow-citizens of North Caro- lina. note the plea set up as an excuse for Ex-dov. Vance for this shameful abuse ofpower. The only reason given is that the salary of the Governor did not meet'the wants of his family. This may have been so, we do not doubt it But is that any excuse why the people's Governor should engage in blockade running n his private account? Was that anylexfcuse why the Chief Magis trate of 2krth Carolina should use tho knowledge which his official position gavehimjto further his private interest ? Did notfjevery citizen who paid taxes have as inuch right as Vance to engage with the Slate's agent for personal ag- grandizement 7 'Ihe flimsy plea tnat Vance at first refused to use the " Ad- vance" falls to the ground when the Sentinel admits that he entered into an engagement with a State's agent and pocketjff the -proceeds of the specula- ktion-v The faLt' that tne cotton was seni out Ly usa amps ui iuo igcu b auu i . ill it 1. 1- : r .V.An mnn nml not by -the Advance, was merely a by -the Advance, was merely dodge to whip the devil around the stump. Don't everybody Know mat this "Agent" would not have taken the cotton out fcr Vance unless ne naa been Governor of North' Carolina T Would this agent have taken the cotton out for any private individual? No, Cf course not. Then Vanca used his official position to further his own per- sonal interest, and having done so, he is not entitled tothe further confidence of the people of North Carolina. - But, says the Sentinel, Vance's family necessities required him to commit this act. How so ? If his salary as Gov ernor was not sufficient for his proper support, why did he not appeal to the General Assembly ? A large majority of the Legislature were Vance's politi- cal friends. Had he brought the matter to their attention they doubtless wouia . . . . have raised his salary, and in this way he could have legitimately relief od his pecuniary embarrassment. This matter, fellow-citizens, is a -serious one. We bow our head in shame at the acknowledgment of the SentineL We regret that Ex-Gov. Vance should find himself in this dilemma. The peo ple of North Carolina will bear in mind hat during this canvass we have con- m Hi 1876. 66. fined ourselves strictly to the political character of Vance, but this monstrous exposure will open the eyes of all think ing men in the State. We are glad that the expose came from his own political friends. We have made no charges. We may have had reason to do so, but we thought it best to let the explanation come from Vance's friends. It has come. It is overwhelming ; and having come, it is our duty to the people of North Carolinathat it be heralded far andnear There is no escape for Vance after this exposure. He is not tit for Governor of North Carolina. The people will vole against him. A majority of twent thousand against him should record the people's views of this humiliating con fession. More anon. " PREFERENCE BUT XO T SCIPTIO. Pit THE WAY THEY DO IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ... Vhether the effete aristocracy of South Carolina will work or not is the problem which the Charleston News and-Courier has set out to solve: : v That paper of the 2nd lays down the following rules to be observed in the ordinary avocations of life : Among the rules we notice these: "If you want a servant, employ the. daughter of - a Democrat."

Oh ! There are so many men who passed through Washington while Vance was I in the old Capitol prison and refused to call and see their old friend. Wonder if some of them don't remember how tney treated Zob f They are trying now to make it up by toadying around him. Do any of them live in Raleigh? Oh, yes " No nrivate citizen was al- Jowed to purchase and ship cotton the war- but Vance sent it ' out and had the proceeds placed to his own private account in Eng- land. After the war Vance drew the money in gold and appropriated gold (See Sentinel Saturday Oc it to his own private use. See Senti- tober, 21.) Lift up hi3 hands and nets admission. Vance says he went into the blockade business during the war, because his salary would not sup- pQjf, nim. According to this, if he should be elected Governor again and his salary should not . meet his wants, he will speculate with State agents again. ; Don't trust him.

Its organiz.it ion is a sta tiding threat and ncnn-o to tho peace of tho whole country. Ii i in overy respect a sectional party. Jt docs not expect to control more than throo northern States; and without a solid.' South, has uo hopes of success. The present condition .of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabahia, Misissiipi, and Louisiana, is conclusive evidence tht the tendency of- the Democratic party is to "j-ulo Or. ruin and in order to . rule, every Southern Stale is to bo car ried for Tildcn at tho point of the bayo nets Soutn 'Carolina has a majority of 35,000 colored voters ; Mississippi han a majority of 40,000 colored voters ; Louis iana has a majority of 20.0C0 colored voters ; yet the Democrats are confident of carrying all of these States. Tho fact that Mississippi gavo 40,000 majority last . year lor ; the Democratic State j ticket, is proof mountain high that in timidation, outrage, and murder, pro vented the Republicans from going to the polls. The' present Stato govern ment of Mississippi' is a gigantic fraud, perpetrated upon the people of tha State.' 'The same is ' true of Alabamr. It is undeniably true that South Caro lina is now ah farmed camp," and that the : 'Mississippi" plau1 has 'been in voked to carry-the State for Tilden and 4 Hampton. ; If it be true, and wo think it cannot bo successfully denied, that Uayes would be elected ; without doubt if the people' of South' Carolina, Missis sippi, and Louisianaj wore allowed to vote and that freely, y, What remedy is there for the loyal millions of tho North who spent their, monoy w ithout stint .and who shed their blood liko water, to y . ; - vi, i uvui;i mucu k elected by. virtue of a solid South, when save the iNation, . should lilden bo 1 reality, one-half the; South is for Peli V outrage, intimidation and murder, have reachedjthat pitch that a man can be elected president by such meansand fdistcd.into the Presidential chair in direct Opposition and-over' flio heads of a fair and undoubted . majority of the American people, ..then this gov ernment is , no better ; than Mexico or any of the Sou th American Republics, where might makes rightand tho sword jsjbn l I iw -v vk A ; slaTfe.T aioTA m erican people in the face.

The Union men of North Carolina are vitally interested in this great and alarming crisis. By their votes they can prevent North Carolina from mak ing one of a solid South. Let them rally against Tilden and Vance as they did against secession in 1SC1. Let them remember that these same leaders who are now calling upon the Southern poo- pie to make their section a unit against the North, are the men who led in.tho wd and bloody dane of secession; and ........ . aeain. a more direful and blood vstruz- mav result therefrorn j A Voto against Tilden and Vance is a vote for peace. .
