HEIIY JT. RAYMOND'S
stani-
Thespeechof Hon, Hem J. Raymond in Con
gress, which we spread f: before our readers! In a
recent issue, may be called a remarkable speech.
We have heretofore, characterized it as able, and
hare explained that it is the ntterence of the lea
der, in the House of Representative of that por
tion of the' republican party "which is made up iaf
the oM silver greyjring of the whig party. It is
likewise a conservative speech, and possibly dis
closes the middle ground upon Which all' sections
of the country must ultimately meet. It is not
democratic, ground ; nor yet is it strictly conser
vative ground ; it is simply conservative republi
can ground.'1" ; ''' " ;' ; . ' '
We do not propose, after, the ample opportu
nity pur readers have had of perusing this speech
entire, to impose Tipon them a review of it But
- the blockade that existed so long between the
south and the north has doubtless left the south
ern people possibly a little in ignorance of the
status of the politicians," and tenure of the politi
cal organizations of the north. At the time our late
troubles came upon us Mr. Seward was just call
ed to the premiership, in 5 Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet,
leaving Mr. Greeley, as his good man Friday, to do
the orgaji-grmdingforhimin the greatstateof New
Yrk Greeley naturally . expected some of the
droppings from the new shake-up in national af
fairs and pressed his claims for office. But as the
premier preferred his services 'in the capacity in
which he had left him, poor Greeley got nothing
On this he announced, in a lacrymose article, a
dissolution of the political firm of Seward, Weed
and Greeley, and at once began feeling for grounds
of hostility to the administration.- He succeded
in finding many trifling omissions and commis
sions, upon which, he harped incessantly, and in
creating several embarrassing issues by means of
which he alienated a large portion of the sup
port that had previously been given heartily to
Mr. Lincoln's administration. In fact, he proved
himself a mischief maker of the first order, and
succeeded in getting himself into bad repute, not
only at Washington, but with his party gener
ally throughout the country.
At this juncture it became necessary for Mr
Thtirlow Weed, theleidinz outside man of the
old firm, to cast about for a successor in the bus
siness to Greely, and also to give more of his per
sonal attention to tbe interests of the old concern.
Accordingly'he transferred his interests in the
Albany Evening Journal, until then almost exclu
sively a state paper, and removed to New York
where he opened an office in the Astor Blouse
and personally , superintended political affairs,
On the approach of the campaign of 1864 an or
gan became necessary, the Tribune being too
shakv to be reliable, and the Tubes was selected
Hon.,, Henry, J., Raymond being the nOmina
editor. The Times at that period had an emi
nently respectable reputation and was conducted
with much ability, but having been ' somewhat
erratic in. its course towards the government
could not be implicitly trusted. The position of
offered it was a tempting oneJ But at the
same time its finances were not sufficiently se
cure to warrant any great reliance Upon it as it
then stood, which accounts for the necessity that
arose for investments in it by Mr. Thurlow Weed.
And thus it came about that Hon. Henry J. Ray
mond became spokesman for the conservative
wing of the republican party. 1 ." .
But it turns out that conservatism and repub
licanism do not work very well together. Greely,
as the organ of the radicals whom he had mar
shalled into opposition to Mr. Seward and the
administration, was the leader of the ruling power
f mon pure, was held to be what we in this latitude
I denominate radicalismthat is such ultraism as
: we hear preached by Sumner, 'Stephens and
; company, in Congress, and by Chase, Greely
and the Reverend Cheever out of Congress. In
t plain words, Greely and company-the new con-
cern--crowded Seward, Weed and company the
j survivors of the old concern off the track, and
j monopolized republicanism to themselves. ! ;
J ' In this duemna it is that Mr. .Seward, Thhr-
j low, Weed, the Honl Henry J, Raymond and
f their associates-which includes &l rthe former
members of the republican party, who, have any
! abihty, patriotism or principle-r-find themselves
placed. They belong to no party. . That is, they
have no party organization as yet. But they are
seeking to organize a party. " It is undoubtedly
their purpose to occupy ; conservative i ''grounds
so far as they can and seek to attract leading
democrats to affiliate with them. They ould
make a compromise, something Jike the compro
mise of 1850, and by an omnibus platform gather
in all who love their country and would sac riflce
a little of personal . preference" for ti good.
It will strike some as slightly singular that
these, gentlemen take a position themselves, and
; establish themselves upon it, and then ask every
' body else ,to come to them,' at the isame time"
calling it a compromise. We confess that it
strikes fus as a little singular, But nevertheless
we can giye them credit for honesty of purpose
to a certain extent that is as much honesty as
politicians are. capable ...of possessing and they
certainly manifest a disposition to occupy, broad
and national'grounds1. r; As we have already said,
it may , be that the country will.be compelled to
come; to their positions ; . bnt at present we are
forced f to-take issue with 1 thenr bn the 'simple
grounds that, having acknowledged the belliger
ent' rights of the ;,r80tith, -and again , having con-
tended: that the! southern states.were neyer out
of the tunon-slightly antagonistic, positions, it
Will bt observed and finally having pardoned

hoseTwho were engaged ,
stilLimother inconsistency taliuu u connection
with - the foregoingrrthe fiouthem people are lef t
with precisely the same rights under the consti
tution as are the people of the north. This is
he logical conclusion from the positions assumed
by these gentlemen. Therefore the restrictions
and' disabilities placed upon them by congress
and tha'government are unjust: and we should
stanou. to-aay on an . equa. jooung ynw iie. rpsi

"But 'wo do'not care' to pursue this subject
fiirther.at this time. , Our object has been merely

to consider his arguments,

It contains over 700 acres of Land, situated at
the head of the Great Hollow ot the Cape Fear
river in Bladen county, near Councel's Blufll (a
public landing) on the public road, 62 miles above J
Yilmington, 14 miles above .lizabetn, 524 miles
below Fayetteville, mile from Prospect Hall
P. O., 2 miles from Mayesville, 14 miles from
Lumbertan, and about 10 miles in a direct line
from the Wril., Char. & R. R. Road, i in one of the
most agreeable neighborhoods in the State.
The improvements consist of a large and pleas
ant modern built and well finished Dwelling,
containing 8 large rooms and passage, a donble
piazza, front and rear, office, pantry, dairy and
spring house, kitchen, store house, wash house,
ironing room, poultry, house, wine house, meat
and smoke house,over6eers house, blacksmith shop,

gy houses, cart sheds, barn, crib, stables for 16
horses, large fodder honse, loom and spinning
house, and 18 laborers' lodges, all of recent con
struction, frame and brick chimneys, everything
complete, with most excellent spring, and well
of water.
The Dwelling is surrounded by a beautiful 10
acre grove of oaks, hicory and eku trees, a well
improved garden, 20 acres devoted to apple and
peach orchards and grape vines in fine bearing
condition, and 20 acres are devoted to Mulberry
trees, containing 8 varieties, which are in full bear
ing from May until August, and is ; invaluable for
hog and poultry raising; fire wood and timber are
abundant and convenient.
The lands are as good as any in the country :
the river bottoms rich, the uplands lair, and both
susceptible of high improvement. Of the crops
grown, corn, cow peas, potatoes, cotton, wheat,
oats and rye are the principal all of which do
well.
With a trifling expanse a head of water thirty to
forty feet could be had for milling or manufactur
ing purposes the stream never fails. The health
of the place i3 unsurpassed. In a residence of-
three years, with a family (white and black) ran
ging from sixty to eighty, no death has occurred,
nor has a physician been called to any case, attrib
utable to the health of the place, or has any ague
or fever of any kind, or other disease occurred.
And last, but not least, no sign or sound of mos
quito of any description has ever been known upon
the place.
To a person desiring long life and a pleasant
one, this place offers rare attractions.
Plantation furniture, stock and provisions will
be sold with the place if desired.
Application may be made to me, Upon the prem
ises, or to O. G. Parsley & Co., at Wilmington.
