THrRSDAV,
APRIL 25, 1867.
Tbe contest for the political supre
macy of the Radical and Conservative
elements at the South has opened.
From almost every section of the
country comes accounts of the proceed
ings of numerous gatherings, mass
meetings and conventions of the colored
people, presided over and controlled for
the most part by whites, who, in some
instances, have been men of honor, in
telligence and patriotism and who have
endeavored to use their power and in
fluence to calm tbe troubled waters of
political strife and sectional animosities.
On the other hand, and in far great
er proportion, are those Southern agi
tators and Arnolds, who, taking advan
tage of the present license granted
them in the propagation of their low
and selfish schemes, have succeeded, in
many localities, in arraying in almost
deadly hostility two raees, so equally
dependent on each other for mutual
support and progress.
To these disgraces to the white and
inferiors of the negro race, we iDtend to
devote a few short remarks, and then,
if possible wash our hands from any
further contact with the disgusting ver
min. While some few have confined their
machinations and powers in the open,
public assemblages noticed above, a
large proportion have descended deeper
in the slough of infamy, aud it is against
these we warn the peaceable loyal citi
zens of the State.
Look out for the traitors in your
midst, who, in the darkness of night
and garb of secrecy are endeavoring to
worm themselves into tbe confidence of
the colored man are poisoning their
minds against those of their own race
and blood dealing out the bastst slan
ders exciting false hopes of the speedy
confiscation and division of Southern
lands among tbe blacks and using eve
ry means in their power to widen the
breach already existing between the
two races.
By these despicable means do they
hope to obtain control of the negro
vote and riding into power, exercise
their long pent up hatred against men.
who, in days gone by, scornfully re
fused association and contact with
them.
A traitor once, a traitor always, and
these men now will be found to be the
same, who in the hour of their coun
try's greatest need, either shamelessly
deserted her colors, or skulked her ser-
v t..
Their conduct is so utterly low and
debased that we even now tire of writ
ing concerning them, and leave them
to tbe infamy and disgrace sure to fol
low them in the future.
It is a consoling fact however to
know, that while the wholesale false
hoods and vile representations of these
creatures have succeeded too often in
inflaming the passions and raising the
malignant prejudices of the colored
people, they have failed in accomplish
ing to the fullest extent their selfish,
sordid ends, and that the negroes,
while accepting them as agents for their
own purposes, bold them in the scorn
and contempt they so richly merit.
Encourageixg Prospect". The pres
ent delightful weather has given fresh
life and vigor to all outdoor pursuits, and
we notice particularly with pleasure, the
renewed activity pervading the ranks of
our entire farming community.
Our own observation and that of all
with whom we have conversed on the sub
ject, indicate an earnest determination on
the part of the people of the County to
bend their whole energies to the impor
tant task of developing to the utmost our
immense agricultural resources leaving,
for the time being, political affairs and
their corresponding issues and perplexi
ties to take care of themselves.
While deprecating to some extent this
utter indifference to our political situation,
we are at the same time glad to see their
thoughts ailQ lunula turned lutw oucli
profitable channels.
The result must be to place us in a
more independent position financially
and better prepared to encounter whatso
ever may be in store for us in the future,
as a community and people.
In 1860, Edgecombe producrd 20,000
bales of cotton, and had established for
herself the reputation as the .Banner Coun
ty of the State.
According to present calculations, she
will raise,, in 1807, 25 000 bales. . This
p.loae will realize an immense sum, and
will go far toward relieving the County
from the pecuniary embarrassments under
which she is now laboring. "
The crop of last year turned out much
better than was supposed would be the
case at one time, and enabled our p'an
ttrs to procure a sufficient number of la
borers, hundreds of whom have come
fcBiong us, attracted by the liberal wages
paid, and also supplied the means of lay
ing in full supplies cf the most excel
lent fertilizers and other indispensable
requisites tosuccessful fanning operation s.
Though surrounded by many circum
stances of public trouble and despondens
ry, oar people have much cause lor con
gratulation for the numerous advantages
still afforded them over many other por
tions ot the State.

While the combined talent and in
telligence of the State seemed unequal
to the task of solving the knotty piob
lcm, lo ! one man speaks and the thing
is done.
Despotic power is a great thing, and
we are fast approaching the belief that
it is the only effective means of pro
perly controlling the great mass of
mankind. This same measure, adopt
ed by a body of the peoples choice,
raised a perfect storm of complaint and
denunciation throughout the State !
now when uttered from the lip of a
military ruler and enforced by the ar
gument of the irresistible bayonet, all
seem to acquiese and declare it the
very best thing for the times, applaud
ing the wisdom -and justice of their mer
ciful master. So let it be.
COMMUNICATED.
Messrs. Editors In your paper afevvis
suessince, you published the proceedingsof
the Convention of the '-unmistakible loy
alists" of North Carolina which assembled
la Raleigh on the 27th of March ; and as
they pledged themselves in one of their
resolutions to use every means to influ
ence public sentiment in favor of their
abominable dogmas, we deem it the duty
of every true Southern man to use all his
might to counterbalance the influence,
which these low 6elfish demagogues are
trying to exert upon the masses for base
partizan purposes.
Small must be the soul, and hard in
deed the heart of any native son of our
beloved old State, who does not feel a
shade of mingled indignation, s rrow and
shame steal over him as he reads the
proceedings of this Convention. They
are by far the most disgraceful and com
temp'ible of any that were ever adopted
by any public assembly in North Caro
lina.
The respectable, peaceable, and indus
trious portion of the ci izens ot the State
look with supreme contempt upon these
sniveling dirt eaters, who are trying .o
organize a party in our midst to stir up
civil feuds and p litical broils to promote
their own aggrandizement. Neither can
the people of the North have any respect
for the -hame!es bootlicks who court their
favor, by heaping the foulest calumnies
and misrepresentations upon their own
people. Their heih-di schemes of intrigue
are too flimsy and shadow not to be ob
served by every fioneot individual who
has any love for his present Unhappy
couniiy. Instead of trying to calm tr e
troubled waters they resort to b;ise and
and ignoble means to excite n spirit f dis
cord and party spirit sniong those who n.re
faithfully striving to restore harmony un i
mutual good will between the s ctions re
cently arrayed agiinst eich other. Di
vine justice does not always slumber; and
these disturbers of the public peace a-d
happiness will turely receive the rebuke
they so jnssly deserve.
mineas to ine glorious party of Keput.h
carjs, for "overthrowing and prostrating
the most gigantic rebellion of modaru or
ancient times."
How g'ai ii g the inconsistency and faith
lessness of these political schemer, when
it is remembered thai some of them with
bloodthirsty souls, clatuored for war and
when it came to k good car not to expose
their circuses to danger, and now n ie
over, swear they had no hand iu bringing
it on that some were cowardly skulkers
who to evade the rvice they owed their
State prowled about and slept ou; in the
sw.imps until the grass grew six inches
upon their back ; and that others were
volunteer soldiers in the Coi. federate ar
my. And strange to say, after such as
sociation, hne degenerated to low as to
gainsiy their past record, and to publish
to the world their joy over the perished
blood and rude graves of thousands of
comrades in arndBf who
" vainly brave
Died for a cause they could not s.ive,'
and for which they themselves professed
so much love, has failed, and the banner
they so much hated now waves proudiv
and triumphantly over our ruined and
desolate homes. This is not consistency ;
neither is it patriotism.
The author of the resolutions adopted
by this Onvention'was an officer in the
Confederate army and made a bloody war
speech in presence of Scales' brigade, at
the time Gov. Vance visited fhe army.
The brave soldiers of the Federal army
who fought us face t face li deadly con
flict, can have no more confidence in such
black hearted hypocrites than they have
for a cold blooded murderer, who in the
garb of friendship would stab them with
an unseen dagger.
In defiance of the well establ'shed fact
that the security and stability of all Re-,
publics deper-d upon the purity of the,
ballot t6,- iTiy tino&roTjrrxn-:x tbat Con-1
gress has conferred the right of suffrage
upon the illiterate, untutored negro, with
out any qualifications whatever.
We have no prejudice against the ne
gro, but it is a truth too plain for descrip
tionfthat they are not sufficiently eu-.
lightened to use the elective franchise
aright. Indeed they themselves know
and acknowledge it.
It is obvious to all that the object of
these petty demagogues is to secure
place and power by this measure, to cons
trol the votes of the negroes they are
corrupt enough to stoop to bribery, the
fruitful source of the downfall ot almost
all republican institution. Amiiitioui
men have gained in this way unbounded
power and wrought the distruction of
a nations liberty There are men here
in our midst whose love of promotion
would prompt them were it in their pow
er to tear down our structure of govern
ment and erect a throne of despo ism upon
its ruins.
In conclusion we trust that the schemes
of such vile ambitious men may be thwar
ted by the energetic exertions of the true
mauh, od ot the country to the end that
our government may be perpetuated upon
ihe fundamental principles our fathers
formed it, and he sacred fire of liberty
preserved to our people.

Death Of Boa. R. Iff. Saunders.
"We regret to have to announce the
death of this dis inguidrd gentleman.
He departed this life, at his residesce in
this City, on ytserd ;y r afternoon, aft-r
"a protracted illness. He had attained
th4 advanced ag-s of 76 years, and few
men in ihe country have filled a larger
measure of use!u'ness, or occupied more
or higher positions of prominence and
trust. ,
- Judge Saunders was born in ' Caswell
County, in March, 1791. In his eary
manhood, he removed, to Tennessee,
where he studied law under the Hon.
Hugh Lvson White, and was licensed to
practice in 1812 He then returned to
North Carolina and .-was elected to thr
Houseof Comraons'ih 1815, serving until
1820, and was speaker of the House in
1819 and 1820. In the latter year, he
w.s elected a member of C ngress and
served until 1827. In 1828, he was elected
Attorney General of tbe State. In 1833,
he was appointed by the President one of
the Board of Commissio ers to decide and
allot the anfnunts due citizen of the
United States for injuries bv Franc?, as
set tied by treaty of July 4, 1831 In 1831,
he was elected by the Legislature a Judge
ofthe Supreme Court ..but resigned in 1840.
on being nominated as the Democratic
candidate for Governor, in opposi'ion to
the Hon. Jno, M. Morehead. Many of
our readers will remember the memorable
canvass i f th State by these two gentle
men, a- b?ing perhaps the a'est and most
excited ever conducted in North Carolina
In this content, Jude Saunders was de
f. ated by about 8 000 votes.
In 1841, he was again elected to Con
gress and served until 1845. In 1846,
he, was appointed, by President Po k.
Minister Plenipotentiary from the U -ited
States to Spain, where he remained un il
the latter part of 1849 In his official
capacity at this Court, h made tr e well
known overtures to Spain for the purchase
of Cubi, which excited s. much comment
at the time.
In 1850. he was again elected a mem
ber of the House of Commons from th
county of W ke. Subsequently, he was
again elected to the bench of t e Superior
Court, which position he he.d up to th
close of the war since which timn he has
been entirely withdrawn from public life,
and has been gradually sinking under the
weight of years.
Gen. Saunders was, in h:s p-lray days,
one of the ablest political speakers us
well as one of best crimim.-il lawyers that
the State iias produced. He was a gen
tlem n of great force of character an
much native kindliness of heart. In pri
vate life, he was exemplary and above re
proach In his death, the State has lost
another of those distinguished sons, the
loss of so 'pany of whom, within a few
years past, she has leen culled upon to
mourn Ral. Sentinel.

WHAT A LEAHiNG FKENCH JOURNAL SAYS
OF THE GREAT SHOW
It would seem asthough ihesole thought
ofthe commission bad ben to sweat the
affair, as the commercial slang goes
tha1, to make it yiel ; as much money hs
possible to the shareholders. Nothing,
indeed, has been n glectcd to pique cus
riosity, and real industry seems to be oaly
a pretext, so completely dot s it disappear
amid the strange exhibitions which sur
round it. In the garden, numberless
small houses, of every country, mosques,
Egytian and Japat ee temples, pagodas,
churches and ruined towers have been
constructed ; in the gilleries, a sort of re
tro.spective museum of curi sities has
been formed, which has no business to b
there unless p aced side by side with simi
lar objects manufactured in the present
day ; fossil bones are exhibited and

The trivial and toy-like preponderate:
such at least is the first impression ob
tained. The garden, with i s little cas-.

its little rocks, its littb? houses, resem
bles an immense plaything made for the
King of Brobdii?isag. There is a want cf
grandeur and real utility in this ; but the
crowd will be a!trajteJr and that is what
was desiied above all things.
