ratification. Let the Republications of the State rouse themselves to the work before them. Let them unite as one man to secure the ratification of the Constitution and the election of loyal men to all the offices, and thus render certain the restoration of the State to the federal Union.
W.W. HOLDEN,
Chairman Rep. State Committee.
JOHN T. DEWEESE, Secretary.

The little squad of so-called Conservatives in the Constitutional Convention lose no opportunity to waste time and embarrass the body in its action. Mr. Durham lost Thursday in attending the Rebel Convention, and on that day in his absence, the Convention had well nigh perfected an important part of the Constitution ; but he took his seat again on Friday, and went to work offering amendments for the purpose of wasting time and making party capital. He thought his propositions were smart, but they were only ridiculous. We think it about time that delegates who pronounce the Convention a usurpation on the rights of the people, and who hold their seats only for the purpose of obstructing business and making party capital, were taught a lesson. Such delegates can not complain if their propositions are ignored by being promptly laid on the table, or cut short off by the previous question. The Convention has been assembled to do a great work. Its members are in earnest; and they will not much longer allow themselves to be annoyed and trifled with, and public business delayed, by the factious conduct of those who avow that the body itself is unconstitutional and its acts null and void. The table for irrelevant propositions from such a source, and the previous question to cut short unprofitable debate, will no doubt very soon be the rule of action adopted by the loyal majority.

The Reporter of the Sentinel describes with ecstacy the effect on the Rebel conclave, in this City, of the ridiculous, malicious speech of Gov. Vance. He was "unmerciful on the scum."- He waxed wroth at the idea that the "white man will go to the bottom, and the dregs and scum will stay on top." He said "dregs and scum" would soon meet the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. We will tell the Governor what sort of "white" men will not go to the bottom, for they are there already, and they will "stay" there. They are such corrupt and graceless traitors as he is. The loyal people of this State, white and black, will govern this State. They will make all such persons as Gov. Vance know their places. He speaks of the "dregs and scum." This is meant for as honest and as decent citizens as there are in the State . The Governor degrades himself by such language, and hurts no one for whom it is meant. Poor man! -he is like a mad clown in a Circus who is compelled to play without pay, and who is laughed at only by such as can not reward him for his services.


poor. The man who obstructs the return of the State to the Union is a public enemy. Let the poor avoid such a man. Let them curse him in their righteous anger, when they are enduring the pangs and the sorrows which he had brought upon them, and which he would continue, to gratify his hellish ambition. The miserable traitors who recently held their so-called Conservative Convention in Raleigh, are the deadly enemies of our suffering poor, and when they dare to mount the stump to address the poor and ask them for their votes, they should be met with hisses and scorn.

We learn that the Freedmen's School House, in the neighborhood of Hill's Store, Randolph County, on the Uwharrie, was set on fire a few nights since, and consumed. The Teacher had been previously insulted in various ways, and injuries done to the School House. The fire was the work of some Rebel incendiary. We may imagine to some extent what would be the fate of the Union people of this State, native and adopted, if Gov. Vance and his party should obtain control.

Keep it before the people that Gov. Graham, the Rebel leader in this State, says that color is the true line of demarcation as to suffrage, and that, in his opinion, no colored man ought to be allowed to vote.

There is some jubilation among Rebels over the assumption that old line Whigs and old line Democrats are acting together in line Democrats are acting together in harmony in opposition to the Republican party. If this be so, the union between these forces is late in the day. The two old parties in this State dissolved in 1860. The better portion of both united to form the Union party, and the refuse portion went with Mr. Davis and Mr. Yancey. The Republican party is based on that same Union party; and though the latter lost many of its members on account of the fiery trials through which it was obligated to pass, yet many thousands of the old Whigs and old Democrats who joined hands and hearts at that time for the good of the country, are still together under the glorious flag of that party which saved the nation. There is no occasion for old Whigs and old Democrats, who are sincere Unionists, to unite at this late day. They are united already, and they intend to make a a good Constitution, ratify it, restore the State to the Union, and give to this people a beneficent, stable, loyal government.

We have been pleased to see in the City lately those sterling Republicans, E.T. Blair, of Randolph, C.C. Wade, of Montgomery, and W.F. Henderson, of Davidson. They brought the most cheering news from the Republicans of their section of the State.

The Wilmington Journal. speaking of the late Rebel Convention in this City, says: "Old line Democrats and old line Whigs, eschewing former politics, mingling together for the common good of the State. It is grand, it is sublime."

The Journal forgets that-
"Devil with devil damned firm concord holds."

and his motives questioned. Mr. Rodman, and those like him in their antecedents who have joined the Republican party, can well afford to bear these reproaches and taunts. The bitter and unjust manner in which they are assailed by the enemies of the government will but strengthen their hold on the confidence of all true patriots.

MONTGOMERY, ALA.. Feb.6.-The election which commenced here to day has proceeded without the slightest disturbance. A raw, drenching rain has been falling all day. Thousands of negroes have been standing in it in order to vote; they show a wolfish eagerness to deposit their ballots. Many have walked from fifteen to twenty miles to get to the polls. Not more than half a dozen white men voted, but although the Conservatives do not cast their ballots, they have challenging committees at all the precincts. It is impossible to tell what the result will be, as the election continues three days longer. Hundreds of negroes, already drenched to the skin, will have to bivouac in the street to-night, but they don't seem to care as long as they get in their tickets. Gen. Meade is here watching the course of events.

The above dispatch from a Rebel source, pays the highest compliment to the colored voters of Alabama. These men know what the contest for liberty is still going on, and that it is quite as important to use the ballot now as it was the bullet during the rebellion.

The Rebels are chuckling at the hope that a majority of the registered vote of Alabama may not have been cast on the question of ratification. Even if this hope should be confirmed it will make no difference as to the admission of the State. Congress can cure the defect by an enactment of ten lines, declaring that a majority of the votes polled having been cast for the Constitution, it is accordingly ratified. Do these Rebel leaders suppose they are wiser or stronger than the Congress of the United States? The States will go back under the present acts, President Johnson and all Rebeldom to the contrary notwithstanding. It is so written in the Book of Destiny.

The Reconstruction Committee at Washington has recommended that the political disability imposed by the reconstruction acts be removed from Gen. Longstreet, with others. Gen. Longstreet is now in Washington, and has been cordially received by loyal members of Congress and eminent military officers. He is unconditionally submissive to the national authority, and an earnest advocate of the reconstruction acts. Gen. Longstreet is acting like a patriot and a man of sense. We may expect soon to hear the Rebel press open on him. But who cares for the bark of such animals? They can not bite.

Our thanks to E.A. Vogler, Esq., of Salem, N.C., for the present of a substantial, well-made pair of pegged Balmoral shoes, from the Shoe Manufactory of Vogler & Co. of that place. This Manufactory is now fairly at work, making men's, women's, boy's and Misses' shoes of various grades. Let us encourage our home manufactures. 

Salem is famous for its manufactories, its Schools, its Intelligence, and thrift and industry.

Dr. Hay and Nathan Gulley, Esq., were detained from their seats for several days of the week just past, by indisposition. This will account for the absence of their names from the yeas and nays on those days.

In December, 1864, Gov. Vance made a speech in the Commons Hall, in this City, in which he said that deserters and recusant conscripts should be caught or put in the ranks, or shot on sight, or at least condemned and executed by a drum-head court martial; and the Conservative, his organ, in its issue of December 21st., 1864, echoing his sentiments, said:

"All bushwhackers and tories should be tried by court martial, and dealt with according to the rigors of military law." Gov. Vance was then, as he is still, a a violent man of blood! Fellow-citizens, make your own choice between his violent and bloody counsels and the mild and beneficent sway of the Republican party.

The Republicans of Carteret will hold a meeting in Beaufort, on the 18th, to appoint delegates to the State Convention on the 26th. The Republicans of Jones will hold a meeting for the same purpose on the 15th, at Trenton. The Republicans of Craven will hold a meeting in Newbern, on the 18th for the same purpose. Keep the ball rolling.

A Deserved Compliment.
The Convention yesterday, on motion of Mr. Abbott, passed a resolution tendering the thanks of the people of this State to Maj. General Nelson A. Miles, Assistant Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau, for the faithful, efficient and impartial manner in which he has performed his duties. This is a deserved compliment to a faithful and worthy officer.

A Hot Shot.
"And now, Mr. President, when my honor as a soldier and integrity as a man have been so violently assailed, pardon me for saying that I can but regard this whole matter from begining to end, as an attempt to involve me in the resistance of law, for which you hesitated to assume the responsibility in orders, and thus destroy my character before the country."
-U.S. GRANT TO ANDREW JOHNSON.

General Grant closes his correspondence with President Johnson in the following forcible paragraph:

"The course you would have it understood I agreed to pursue was in violation of law and without orders from you; while the course I did pursue, and which I never doubted you fully understood was in accordance with law and not in disobedience of any orders of my superior. And now, Mr. President when my honor as a soldier and integrity as a man have been so violently assailed, pardon mr for saying that I can but regard this whole matter, from beginning to end, is an attempt to involve me in the resistance of law, for which you hesitated to assume the responsibility, in orders, and thus to destroy my character before the country. I am in a measure confirmed in this conclusion by your recent orders directing me to disobey orders from the Secretary of War, my superior, and your subordinate, without having countermanded his authority I am to disobey. With the assurance, Mr. President, that nothing less than a vindication of my personal honor and character could have induced this correspondence on my part, I have the honor to be very respectfully, your obedient servant." 
(Signed) U.S.GRANT, General.  We think President Johnson has caught a tartar in the person of General U.S. Grant, General.

TO CONSUMPTIVES.
It is authentically stated that one fifth of the inhabitants of this country and Europe die of Consumption. No disease has been more thoroughly studied, and its nature less understood; there is no disease upon which exists a greater diversity of opinion and no disease which has more completely baffled all medical skill and remedial agencies.

Some of the prominent symptoms are Cough, Expectoration, Shortness of Breath, Irritation about the Lungs and Chest, darting, Pain in the Sides and Back, Emaciation, and general negative condition of the whole system.  

Persons suffering with this dread disease, or any of its concomitants, should lose no time in possessing themselves of the proper Remedy, in order that they may stay its ravages, and be restored to health. The

WATCHES.

This country has reason to be proud of this splendid specimen of American operative genius enterprise. That it will work a revolution in the watch manufacturing of the world no one can doubt who examines the operations of the Waltham establishment, for it turns out watch movements at just about one hour reported movements - beside the uniform reliability of the machine-made watches just give them a great advantage over all others wherever known A poor time-piece of the machine make will be as rare in the future as a good one of hand make has been heretofore, for machinery is arbitrary in its performance, and can make a perfect article just as easy as one that is worthless.  It will be a cause of congratulation if this highly useful American Enterprise shall have the effect of driving out of market the thousands of trashy foreign articles miscalled timekeepers, by furnishing so excellent and economical a substitute." - N.Y. Times.

"We have had one of the works of this Company in a case for some considerable time,and comparing them with former first-class works of different manufacture possessed by us, they have established in our opinion their superiority over any ever introduced for correctness as time pieces." - The World. 

"We notice with regret (writing of the Paris Exposition) the absence of specimens of American manufacture, which, although only comparitively of recent birth among us, is already producing results of the most satisfactory character. The watches manufactured by the Waltham Company are certainly, so far as strength, durability, and excellence as time-keepers are concerned, as good as anything produced by the French or Swiss manufactures."- N.Y. Herald.

"The beauty, the precision, the greater cheapness, the uniform excellence of a watch constructed by machinery so equisite that the mere spectacle of its operation is poetic, gradually give the American Watches a public preference which will not be deceived." - Harper's Weekly.

EVERY WATCH FULLY WARRANTED.

DEBILITY AND EMACIATION
Both results from the lack of ability to convert the food in nutriment. How necessary, then, for those suffering from these alarming symptoms to immediately resort to a remedy that will strengthn the stomach and digestive organs. For, as soon as this desirable object has been accomplished, the health improves, and the patient resumes his usual personal appearance. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS have attained a world-wide popularity in such cases, and have been proven the best and safest means of removing constipation, toning the stomach, giving energy to the liver, and relieving every symptom of nervousness and depression of spirits. Its cheering and beneficial effects are highly spoken of by thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health. No restorative in the annals of medicine has attained the same popularity in the short space of time it has been before the public, or has won the high endorsements accorded to this excellent tonic. Many other preparations, purporting to be correctives and restoratives, have been introduced, and have perished one by one while the popularity of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS continues to increase, and is now recognized as a standard household medicine. The success which attends the use of the Bitters evinces at once its virtues in all cases of debility and diseases of the stomach. Certificates, almost without number, have been published, attesting its truly miraculous power in removing those painful and fearful diseases. And at this time it seems idle to do more than call attention to the great remedy of the age, in order to awaken public attention to its excellence. It is the only preparation of the kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is therefore worthy of the consideration of afflicted.
