This does1 not mean white men or black men; it means all men. It does not rnean social, but political equality. The former regulates itself by the wishes of eaich individual, and not by the laws. The perpetual maintenance of the Union of these States, the faithful payment of the debt incurred in its defence, and ot the obli gations which the nation owes to its de fenders. J I : :l ...:. An equal system of common schools, within which the poorest as well as the richest child in the State may receive the blessings and advantages of education. :.h ;;:..- ... j A strict compliance with the requirements of the reconstruction acts of Congress, in remodelling j the State Constitution. A Constitution) so formed that laws may flow from it for the benefit of the laboring man as well as the rich. Laws' that will have a tendencyj to i encourage the man of toil, to make his! labor honorable and respectable, and thereby stimulate; both white and black to work faithfully, honestly; and with energy, that the resources of the Old North State may be more fully developed than ever be fore. " f -';, , H :-. '..;! - j ,'- ''" A - i--' '" Laws that 'will encourage men ofxapital to locate in he State, that we may thereby be bette r; enabled to develop the resources of the State to bring forth the treasures which God, in his mercy and goodness has planted in the earth, . but! which now lay buriedv-nvaiting for the men. ot energy and of means to bring to light j 1 ) Laws that shall have a tendency to protect the industry of all without! being proscrip- tivejor prohibitory, either in distinctions 01 birth, or in( unnecessary and burdensome taxation.! i:. !- ' . ' . '.r-Vv' I wouldalso call, "your attention to the present state! of affairs in the. State ot North Carolina.! and ask. you to review the acts ot the Provisional Legislature of. the State iat its last session which rejected with so much dignity the final . peace offering ot the people of the United States in Congress assembled, to the people of North Carolina, because! a few of. the most prominent leaders of the rebellion were disfranchised, men who forced you from your homes to fight against the flag you loved and respected, the flag of your country1 and of American nationality, who hav;e been instrumental in erecting a j monument of mourning in nearlv every household im the land and see the result of their deliberaons. We have one day mar tial law, the 'next, civil law, and some days 1 vjry gooct mixture of both. Businesses prostrated, j the credit of every man is doubted, his honesty questioned, everybody uneasy and dissatisnd, nothing prospering, men of capital refusing to locate within the lines of the State, money scarce, men, women and children suffering for: the necessaries of inc. Aiiee same mep aro,agaiu appcauug to you to sustain them in power, but under new name. They now call themselves Conservatives. It is the same old political body, with a new garment thrown around it to endeavor to hide the feet from view. The question is now fairly before you. Will jou support this party further in its acts of de fiance to the government of the United States? k , ; - - , ! ';:.7-;' -i :' If you do, jf the Constitutional Convention is composed of men whose proclivities are in opposition to the government, as were, the majority of the last Legislature, then in iny judgment; you may bid farewell to that peace which we all desire so much ; tarewell to that pospenty which we all so ardently hope for; and farewell to everything that pertains to individual freedom, and every thing that makes life desirable or a blessing, in the old North State for , years to come. The want : which is now pressing so heavily upon many,' will increase ; business will de crease ; - capital will seek other more "con genial States; starvation will look many -an honest man in the lace who now has plenty. If, on the other hand, you wish prosperity and., desire the blessings of peace, be not again misled into supporting a party which has never been a friend or an assistant to the laoonng men 01 me oouiu. ; ; ! i f A few words in reference to negro sunrage. A great many are indulging themselves in the hope that this will he revoked. Such of you who believe tuis, are ueceiveu. lue nght has been ; bestowed by the highest Legislative power in the land,' and wherever the right of franchise has once been given to any class of people or persons, it cannot be recalled-fexcept the party shall have committed crime, of which they have been duly convicted by the Court without en dangering, the peace, and even the life of the State or Government which attempts to abrogate it And under the present state of affairs, if any party were to attempt such a tning. 11 wouia, in my opinion, result in one of the most cruel and- bloody wars that bis tory has eve recorded. It is useless for any person to argue this question, for it is already settled;; it is irrevocable. T Now I believe in all, White and black, going to work in good faith; Let the white man assist the black man ; . Jet him try and make as good aciti zen. as possible. , and let ? the black man j do his best r; let friendship exist between all. and then we will Htc in peace, and with a feeling ot security of life and property. Prosperity. will : surely follow in the wake ot this. . . t- - : I do not believe in any further distranchis- ment by the State Convention, or of confis cation ot property. Both of. these questions belong to Congress; let it settle them. I would also call your attention to the letter of General Longstreet, which I wish all to read;; " " ; ; , " . r In conclusion, I would appeal to every man who considers that the news advanced by myself are correct,! to think well before he deposits his rote. (If I speak the truth, and you believe in the principle I advocate, then I would respectfully solicit your sup port and votes. vV-T- j, ,E. Legg, . of BmithTillc.. Wilmington in Disease and Ilealth. But while we have reason to dilate with pleasure upon this particular point, another advances which looks rather cloudy, and which is not so agreable to narrate. ; Never theless, we shall endeavor to render it as bright aa, the nature of the subject will, per mit In 1863, a few scattered cases of small pox t were noticed, and they continuedto in crease until October, when the disease began to wearthe appearance ot an epidemic The general supervision of! the town was under the military, and the Medical Director trans, ferred to the local authorities many persons, chiefly negroes, tainted with the malady. gj Whites. : "TH I WUtes.

I ' j " : . . It will go to show that the colored pro portion is exceedingly high, and their deaths, compared with the whites, stand 1 to 24, We have from the same authority that there were others treated privately, and a few more deaths occurred. We examined this Hospital in July, 1866, and found nine af flicted with the loathsome disease. Its prox imity to the troops, as well as to citizens, who first called the attention of the military to it for it was in the city-limits was the cause ot the removal of the patient to the vicinity of Camp Lamb.; They were receiv ed into the Bureau Hospital. A few strag gling s eases afterwards were treated Vhere. The pest finally died out. The former Small Pox Hospital, or the "Costin House," was well scrubbed and ventilated. It subse quently was donated to the Stf. James Epis copal Church. ' We shall recur to this manor house again; . L ...:. The sanguinary 'struggle of four years brought about many physical, civil, and moral changes. Rivers were made to change their channel, and seek another bed ; forests were leveled and transferred to the Gulf. the Mississippi, and the Atlantic Ocean, as gunboats and ships of war, and preyers on commerce. They made abatis of defence, stockades ot security, and huts of protection. The earth was thrown' up into lines of rifle pits, into -sand mounds, into forts and breastworks. Hatred entered the bosoms of men. The fiends of discord wrestled there. The gall of a nation staid in the na tion's blood, and changed its red and whole some glow into a yellow forbidding look ; and, turned a nation's sweetness into sour ; a brotherhood into alienship, and a peaceful land, smiling with plenty, into aland of war and its horrid consequences. The transpor tation of Wrge bodies of troops from one district to another, 1 encumbered "with. all the appurtenances for a: campaign,' predis pose very much to the generation and pro pagation of disease: such was actually the case with the spread of small pox.

Intelligent persons and physicians can Jud?e on the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from the' following partial formula : . , , j X CASCARILLA, BARK Wasi known and used in Germany for Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhoea, Chollc, Dfsentery, and Dis eases ef the 8to aiach and Bowels, as early as 1690 Hi t DANDELION. ; . , For Inflamatlons of the Loins and Spleen in Dropsical Affections aud Biliary Secretions, or Obstructions pf the Abdominal Viscera. ; ; '! !

Humboldt makes favorable mention of the febrltuge qualities of this article as an Antidote Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, in his extensive South American travels. The Countess, wife of the Viceroy of Peru, having experienced the b'encfl-i clal effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 1640. ltlwjas sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum ) of its weight in silver, and was thus called Jesuits' u Powder. In 1658, Sir John Talbot employed It with great success in France, in the treatment of ! Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Nervous Affections ! LosS of Appetite, Weakness and Debility, Pal pitation of the Heart, Diarrhoea, &c, undQr the name of English Powder; and in 1679, ho - sold the secret ol its origin to Louis XIV, by whom it was divulged.
