RICHARDS. Seo. DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CON VENTION. On Saturday, Aug. 20, primary meetings will be held-throughout the County, for the purpose of electing delegates to put in nomination a County ticket, on the follow ing Wednesday, Sept. 2. We trust that thero may be a good turn out, and that good men may be chosen to compose the Convention. The death of Sheriff Woods, imposes upon us the election of his suc cessor this fall; the Convention will there fore, be called upon to put in nomination a candidate for that important office. Let not large republican majorities of past years in this County deter the Democracy from seeking nominations this fall; there has been and is a great revolution going on in public Bentiment, and we would not be at all surprised to see even this, hereto fore, stronghold of Abolitionism disenthral itself from thg%rasp of that odious fanati cism. There is unusua) thinking going on among the people, and the more calm re flection they indulge in the more rapid will bs the growth of conservative convictions. The people must see that the only hope for onr country is in the defeat of the de structives now in power, who have plunged the country in civil war. and who, under false pretences, are now determined to prosecute hostilities, not for tho restora tion of the Union, bnt for negro emanci pation. The people are thinking about these things, and we suspect that their votes next October will show large acces sions to the Democracy. TIEED OF THE COHFEDEEACY. The Raleigh (North Carolina) Stand aid, of the 31st ultimo, contains a long article from the pen of R. S. Donnell, formerly a member of Congress, and now Speaker of the popular branch of the State Legislature, strongly in favor of returning to the Union, “We farther understand,” remarks the National Intelligencer , “from an officer of the army in North Carolina, through whom we have reeeived this pa per. that thi? Hon. F. R. Satterthwaite, I 'President of the ‘ Governor’s Council,’ I aided in the preparation of this calm ap peal, which, before its publication, was submitted to Governor Vance, nnd re-1 caived his approval.’’ I The dtand (tril I in "which the article re lerred to first appeared, ie the organ of the Governor ot the State ; among the strong points of the address, it states that “ only portions of fire of the secession Slates re main in the hands of the Confederacy,” and it proposes that the State, immediately make application to the United States Gov ernment for peace. Here we have a visi ble bursting of the Southern Confederacy, so far as North Carolina can effect it. It is well known that Governor Vance and his party represent at least two-thirds of the people of his State, while the calm, dignified and firm reasoning of the argu ment in question, goes to prove that its authors are quite in earnest, in their ef forts, to free themselves from Confederate thraldom. But anxious as these North Carolians are to return to their allegiance, there is a wall of fire preventing them.— Their property by our Abolition laws and proclamations, is confiscated, and their slaves are emancipated; and unless these) edicts be withdrawn, North Carolina will only be compelled to remain, of necessity, in the Southern rebellion. President Lin coln having solemnly announced, at his in auguration, that he had neither the “power nor the disposition to inter fere with the local institutions of the States,’? has now a case presented for him to prove the sincerity of his declaration. Ivst him withdraw his proclamations, so far as North Carolina is concerned, at least, and give the oppressed people of that ancient Commonwealth an opportu nity to return to the Union, of which Bhe was an original member. North Carolina again inthe old Union, on reasonable con ditions, would cause a stampede in the Confederacy for readmission, also. Ten nessee would next follow; Louisiana next, and three montbß after would see the whole Southern fabric utterly broken up. But is it the intention of the Adminis tration to let the people of the South burst the bonds of Davis' usurpation, and en courage them in their efforts to return to tteir allegiance ? We do not believe that ench is the intention. From various quarters in the rebellious States we have seen indications of a desire upon the part ot the people to abandon I the Confederacy; but we have heard no word ot encouragement to them, f rom either our Administration or its leaders. On the contrary we see unmistakable in diqnfbjnp tjiat thewar is to.be protracted abtil ig utterly annihilated tbrongh- the. South, fkisja. the secret which; iSnggeiSs opts of Conscript ioir-fbp thysß hundred thousand men, to operate "gainst r» job already prostrated.. For fear, jndeed, j that tho-- oioro conservative Republicans tedt ! Sbath into the .Uniop upon equal terms, we find the roost radical of th e ß> who are presumed to speak for the Ad ministration, erecting insurmountable barriers to, finch a' consummation. For ney’s Washington: Chronicle, the organ of the President, on Saturday last, in an .elaborate article sets its face like oda mant against any peace that does not bring witb it emancipation. It says: “ This question of enforcing the President's Emancipation Proclamation is rapidly approaching that point at which it will become the test of popular loyalty. ’ ’ We cannot say whether the servile and debased wretch who penned this intamoos sentence, speaks for the President or not. We know that he is willing to wear any collar that will render him at ail notori ous ; and consider his meanness but a “test of popular loyalty.” If he speakß by the card, however, poor North Caro lina may groan in chains. Taking the Washington organ’s remarks in connection with the following observations by Sena tor Wilson, which it quotes and endorses, we may conclude what the radical pro gramme is in relation to the South, and why it is that they are so eager for “three hundred thousand more.” The following are Mr. Wilson’s observations: “ The practical issues before the nation are the suppression of the rebellion by the band of war, the extinguishment ofrits oao&o bjjjCb enforce ment of Che EmaDeipaWsr ProolanreCiOD. Theso are the vital issues, and they are to meot tho sternest resistance—to pass through trials that will test the fidelity and endurance of their sup porters, as their fidelity and endurance wore never tested before. I tell you, sir, and the men who believe in the Emancipation Proclamation, who mean to make it a practical reality, the irre peal&ble law of the nation, that they must pre pare for a mighty conflict—a oonfliot that will stir the oountry to its proloundest depths. Reside tais transcendent question of the enforcement of the in the rebel States, all other questions, growing out of the existence of slavery, sink into utter insignificance; for its euoeoss car ries with it everything else—ultimate emancipa tion in Delaware, and Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennesseo, fugitive slave law and all. Lot, thon, the anti-slavery men of united America, by thought, word, and deed, support tho President in suppressing the rebellion, and in enforcing tho proclamation. Let them raise no immaterial issues, no trifling questions to distract or divide their Counsels, or to impede their advance to tho achievement of tho crowning riotory that shall bring along with it unity to a now dismembored country, peace to a wounded and bleeding nation, justice to a wronged raoo. and a future radiant with the elevating and refining inspirations of equal and impartial freedom-" It will be seen by these remarks from a leading Abolition Senator, speaking the sentiment of not only Massachusetts Abolitionism, but for his party throughout New England, that emancipation is to be the price of peace. After the Sonth is willing to submit to the Constitution, Bhe will not be received without emancipation. When this issue is forced upon the Ameri can people, by farther Abolition agitation and exactions, we conclude that the conn- 1 try will indeed be stirred “to its pro* foundest depths.” Then we shall have the original intention of the Abolitionists, in forcing this war upon the country, ex posed in all its naked wickedness. The cry for the Union is fast passing away before the fanatic howl for emancipation. iST’Edwnrd Everett, in asserting that the Sonth would not have accepted the Crittenden Compromise had it been -of fered by the lepublican members of Con gress before the withdrawl of the South ern members, performed a service which has led many administrations to suppose that he joined, or intended joining, their party. This we think a mistake. Mr. Everett has mildly censured—he is a very mild man—the radical policies of abol itonism. A rumor has been circulating that he intended to send his two Bon? to the war, they having lately been drafted. This is a mistake. He has paid his six hundred. That he paid the six hundred has been seized upon by the radical proas as a proof of his loyalty, and they have “spoke his deservinga likea chronicle,” Why he paid the six hundred, instead of sending hia sons to the war, may perhaps be gath ered from these extracts from an oration delivered by him in New York, July 4th, 18G1 : i oa £, l , rist ttn c e alone tho South has suffered defeat. The North for the first time has chosen a President by herunaided electoral vote. I did not; as you. know, contribute t ifhftt result; but I did enlist under tho banner ofthe*tfmon, th* con stitution and the enforcement of the htwu Un<l r that banner I mean to stand , and with it, if it is struck down, I mean to fall- We wasenowar of conquestand snhiu gation; we ai m at nothing but to protect our loyal teUow-citizens, who; against fearful odds, are fikhtuig the battles of the Union in tho disaf fected states ; and to ro-establish; not for our selves alone, but for our misguided brethren, tbo mild sway of tho constitution and the laws*'* All who would divert the war from ta only legitimate and constitutional object are “the enemies of the Union,” and, as snch, whatever may be their social or political standing, must encounter the opposition of enlightened patriots. AU who would distract the public attention from the paramount aim of the. Gover nment, by propounding novel and revolu tionary doctrines as the motive of mil itary operations, which can be legally or succeßsfnly prosecuted only under the Con stitution that arms the nation with its right and power to quell insubordination—all who indulge in such disorganizing specu lations are Bowing the seeds of discord broodcast over the land. Those, for in stance who, with William Whiting, Esq., the Solicitor of the War Department, an nounce that the war has reached a stage in which, so far as the Government is con cerned, all State lines are obliterated in the rebellious district, are men who, whether they know it or not, are both theoretically and practically ‘the actual aiders and abettors of the Confederates,’ They are revolutionists just as Jjruly as the men against whom the nation is in arms, and thengh their disloyalty takes on a different'form, it is none the less overt, and tends practically to a fatal concur rence with the designs and hopes of the armed sedition. Unfaithful to the limi tations of the Constitution, they are equally inimical to the declared policy of the President, who, even in the opening words of the “proclamation of freedom,” which they profess to support, distinctly declared “that hereafter as heretofore the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the |constitutional re lation between the United States and each of the states and people thereof in which States that relation is or may be suspended or disturbed,” Mr. Whiting and those he represents know nothing of constitutional relations between the United States and the revolted States. For them the revolted States have ceased to esist, and the “constitutional relation,” as Mr, Lincoln contemplates it, is destroyed, not “suspendedannihilated, not “disturb- I who cannot see that the ad. vocatea of this gevoiotinoary doctrine are hostile to $e Constitution and the Union ,e*u leastsee that they are inopen op position to |he President.— National Intelligencer, IMPORTANT BY TELEGRAPH. The papers, yesterday, contained the highly important announcement, from Philadelphia, that P. C. Shaunon waß serenaded somewhere, and in acknowl edging the compliment “declined any political allusions.” Tho telegraph from Philadelphia to this city has, daring the summer, been pretty well burdened with messages about the performances of P. C. Shannon. The movements of our ablest Generals and Statesmen were unimpor tant in comparison with his; but, in view of the fact of the late Abolition State Con vention having failed to nominate him, for the Supremo Bench, we suggest the pro priety of his suspending such frothy an nouncements, at least until the warm weather is over. The action of the Con vention, by the way, may account for Mr. P. C. Shannon failing to indulge in any political allusions, M in response to his last serenade. f Shall Further Presidential Elec tions be Dispensed With. We find something both to agree with or disßent from in these objurgatory re marks appended by the Tribune to the call of the Democratic National Executive Committee : “The appearance of this call brings forci bly to view the gulf which separates the present from the past. Bnt little more than three years have elapsed Bince this committee was formed ; yet a call for it to meet seems like a challenge to Richard the Lion-hearted to rise from the grave for a tilt with S&l&din. Who thinks of the next President? Who can hear wilhont a yawn that Jones or Smooks is likely to get this or that nomination ? Who realizes —unless he be an aspirant for the post — that we are to choose a President next year? Who would not agree that any ma “ or Party might trinmph, then, if he could thereby secure a benificent and speedy iasn6 of our present sanguinary struggle? What a dreary impertinence, a stupid anachroism, seems the calling to gether of n national committee now pre pared for opening a new presidential cam paign ? Is it not an assemblage of spectres that Mr. Belmont would invoke—the shadows of men long since departed ? It seems hard to realize that, in times like the present, any one can think of oiling up his party machinery for another presi dential contest.” 11 The gulf which separates the present from the past” is indeed wide. The strides made by the government in the direction of despotism, within the last three yearß, very naturally suggests the question raised by the Tribune whether presiden tial elections have not become “ a dreary impertinence, a stnpid anachronism,” like a proposal to hold in the nineteenth century oneot the gay tournaments of the middle ages. “The age of chivalry,” whose departure Burke so eloquently la men ted, was not more out of keeping with the spirit of modern society than is a. presidential election by free popular suf frage with the practical despotism into which our goverment has deteriorated. We do not wonder that the Tribune thinks the age of presidential elections, like that of chivalry, is “gone:” "Oone, glimmering through tho dream of things that were, A sehool-boy'.H tale, tho wonder of an hour.” While recognizing the Tribune's clear ness of perception, we must nevertheless? dissent from its practical conclusion. We therefore beg our vehement contempora ry s indulgence while we state some rea sons why, in our opinion, it is not expe dient, as things nmo stand , to abolish Presidential elections, The people have not yet become accli mated in the atmosphere of despotism which surrounds them ; they are restive and uneasy, and might become trouble some if too suddenly deprived of their ac customed remedy for political grievances. Archbishop Hughes, in his speech during the late disturbances, remarked, with great pertinency, that, in this country, our in stitutions provide forapeaceful revolution every four years. He argued, with much cogency, that there was no justification for violent resistance in a country where all the desirable ends of revolution can be attained by the safe method of regular elec tions. Now whether we are really to have another presidential election or not, we cannot bnt think the archbishop made a judicious selection of a topic for dissua ding the rioters from further resistance.— Jit happily accomplish! J its object, and 1 1 cansed those excited men to return to I their homes in a more quiet, sedate, and I obedient temper. Considering how deep ,l ly agitated is the public mind, consider I ering that a large military force is deemed I necessary to preserve the peace of the | city, it seems to us clearly expedient to I keep np for a little while longer, if not I the reality, at least the pretense, of regu- I lar elections. If the Democratic Nation al Committee have fallen into the mistake lof supposing that a presidential election I will take place next year, as usual, it I I would seem impolitic to dispel the sooth I ing delusion. It is probably not yet to I I rely entirely on bayonets and cannon balls I | tor keeping the people in subjection; I I and we therefore submit (with profound I I deference) that it may be better to amuse I I them with the idea that they can next year I peacefully depose the rulers under whosq misgovernment they now chafe with dan gerous impatience. If it is thought expe dient that no change shall be made in the Administration at the end of Mr. Lincoln’s four years, the thing can be easily man-1 aged. By proclaiming martial law in some States, after General Burnside’s pattern I in Kentucky; by the bribery of fat con tracts in others, and by the ready resource Of sham Presidential electors, got up un der military supervision, in as many aa I ■ may be necessary of the recovered or par- [ : tially recoyered States, a tolerably sure I thing may be mgde of it, withoqt Bhock- . ing popular prejudices by dispensing with the customary forms of political aotion. Strong aa are these reasons for goipg through the form of another presidential election, we must in candor concede that there are countervailing considerations [ which go far to justify the Tribune. A I 1 presidential election has not only .become the “anachronism” which the Ttibunel asserts, but a bloody. demonstration con stantly stßres us in the face that the lost presidential election tyas a Pandopa’s box I to the country. When the 'Tribune con* templates the horrible consequences of Mr. Lincoln's election (mainly its own work,) it is not surprising that, aghastand conscience-smitten, it is sick to the heart of presidential elections. Why should we another while the wounds inflicted by the last are still fresh and bleeding?— Tf like cabins prodhcedifce-Wects, afid a presidential weff-nigh ruineil' ns. who would wish ior another ? A mind writhing under the upbrodings of consci ence may possibly reason in this way; and timid men who begin to despair of the country may feellike exclaiming, in the anguage of ono of the characters in “Macbeth,” “Bleed, bleed, poor country ! ureat tyranny, lay thou thy basis sure *or goodness daroa not oheck thee!” ' But the great body of the people do not yet give way either to remorse or despair. They have the most perfect confidence in the triumph of the free principles In which they were nurtured, and they tolerate the present despotism only because they ex pect to overthrow it by the peaceful agen cy of the ballot box. In view of the un settled temper of the times, and the revo lutionary thoughts that are stirring in men s minds, the National Democratic Committee render a timely service in cal ling attention to the near approach of the Presidential election, which opens a peace ful door of escape from the thick perplex ities and evils of onr present condition. A public journal which, in times like these, scouts the idea of a recnrrence*to this great constitutional remedy acts the parf of a revolutionist.— N. T. World. The Symptoms of Disunion. [Prom the Montreal Witness, August 15-] A Western paper, referring to the threat of some Lower Canadian journals, that they will demand a repeal of the Union if the representation by population ques. tion is passed, states that Upper Canada will not permit a repeal, nor give np its right to the common use of the St. Law rence, and intimates that the time is com. ing when the people will take the repre eentation question into their own hands and settle it. In what way the people can settle it, other than through their repre sentatives m Parliament, he does not in dicate. If the conservatives are willing to unite with the Liberal parly to obtain what most concede to be a just measure it can become law. Bat rather than force the measure, perhaps it would be better to labor to convive Lower Canadians ot the reasonableness and the justice of the demand. Onr object now, however, is not to deal with this question, but to point out the inconsistency ot onr contemporary. He is an extreme pro-Southern sympathizer, holdmg that the States have a right to secede whenever they please. He makes light ol the arguments of the North, some ot which are precisely similar to those which he himself uses above. The people of Upper Canada will not permit the re peal of the union of the provinces: neith er will tho North allow secession. Upper Canada demands the free navigation of the SL Lawrence. The Western States will not consent to the outlet of the Missis sippi being under foreign conLrol Onr contemporary opposes tho repeal of the nmon of the provinces, but he is in favor ot repealing the union of Slates in the neighboring republ.c. The above argu taenta against repeal hore are just as valid against secession sontli of ns. Wo only point out this inconsistency to show how unreasonable and unjust some meu arc in their treatment of others. The Enmity between Bragg and . Breckinridgo. i During the progress of the battle of ■Stone River, whilo Gen. Bragg and Staff were on the fiold, a private belonging to G en - Breckinridge's division was going to the rear, when he was observed by Bragg, who told one of his aids to halt the sol dier and ascertain his reason for leaving tho field. The soldier informed the aid that he was on the Bick list, and that he had a certificate of inability from his reg imental surgeon. Bragg asked to see his pass, and, remarking that he doubtod very mnch whether there was such a surgeon in the army, ordered the man to return to his regiment or he would hnvo him shot. One of Breckinridge's aids was present. He looked at the pass : : ' t.i!,i Bragg it was correct ho ku- v i!m surgeon.— Bragg then peremntoii'y .1 the man to his regiment. Brrcki-.ridi-’s aid gal loped off to his comi;:.,:i.l. , a 1.1 i.dormed him of what had just | iis u-d, when he pat spurs to his horse and, marching the sol dier back in the presence of Gen. Bragg, told him to go to the rear, saying that if any more Kentuckians were to be shot he would take a hand in it himself. This is said to be one cause ot the animosity which has existed between three two reb el officials since the battle of Stone River The Proper Course. The National Intelligencer, after de nouncing the Secessionists in becoming terms to the parasites of the Adminiatriy (ton, says Bnt those who sustain the Administra tion in the adoption of measures which they be'iave to be prejudicial to the best interest of the country tire men who can not be true to the country, for they are not true to themselves. The country, in this her hour of need, has a right to the best service of all her children, and they who would counsel wisely cannot oounsel in sincerely. . Truth, says Bacon, was never honored with the unclean incense of a lie, and a manly patriotism never demands at the hands of it votaries a timid paltering with conscience and personal duty. The hands of the Government can be as fatal ly weakened by servility as by faction, the former being the besetting peiil of astrong Administration and the latter of a weak one. The true citizen is He who seeks to avoid both. He bears on his forehead “what he thinks of the Republic,” and never more couspicuoqsly than in a time of public danger, when interests of the most momentous are at stake.
