A* a matter of near*, as well as of deep
interest to our readers, we publish else

_ e position of the Sen is independent

prietors are Democratic in principle hut

The present Bepublioan party, totalled,
has quite as fascinating a name as that of
the Democratic party. It was assumed
by the haulers of that faction for the pur
pose of carrying out, under a popular
flag, their concealed objects of Consoli
dation, Centralism and Empire.
Party namet weigh but little with us.
We look solely to principles in judging
of the true and real character of any par
ty, and so, looking to the principles an
nounced by the “New Departure” Dem
ocrats— to-called—of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, we confess that we see no differ
ence between them, so far as relates to
the 14th and 16th amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, and
the principle on the same subject of the
Hiding Dynasty at Washington, whether
they be called Republicans, Radicals, Ja
cobins or Imperialists.
The new movement seems to ns to be
nothing but an open abandonment of the
old creed Democratic party in its most
essential parts, and the full espousal of
the doctrines against which that party

[Prom the Greensboro Herald, June Hth.
In our lsst issue, ws gave our readers
an article on this subject, referring spe
cially to the Democratic platforms ie-
oently put forth bv the Democratic State
Conventions in Ohio and Pennsylvania, _ .
.synopsis of which platform, was also , Peunwylvama peraocraUc Convention,
referred to. In this article we said we I o. the Ohio Convention are to

this connection,
ih resolution of the
repent. Our position is, and ha* been,
that the old Democratic platform is good
enough. We wanted no tinkering with
it No new planks or new principles
incorporated in it—and above all, we
wanted no abandonment of any of its
essential principles by any sort of a
the North intend to do for ns, then we
ask most respectfully, what worse can be
expected from those whom they are
pleased to style our enemies ? Is there
any difference between them so far as
our rights, interests and Constitutional
liberty are concerned ? If so, in what ?
We ask for information. Shall we join
new departure." As to nonessentials | “ ud any party holding these pom-
or matters of local character, we were,
and are utterly indifferent, leaviug the
Democracy of each State, on such points,
to pursue such course as they may think
proper.
All we have now to add to what we
said on this subject last week, is that
upon a careful reading and close scrutiny
of the Resolutions of the Conventions of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, as authorita
tively published, we find them upon one
subject, «
and that of essential importance
in a creed for the Democracy of the
Union, to be very different from our im
pression as to their character when that
article was writen. There is nothing in
either of these platforms which recog
nises the 14th and 15th amendments, so-
called, to the Constitution of the United
States, simply as “dr/acto" parts of the
organic law of the Union carried by
"fraud, perfidy and force”—and to In-
observed and confirmed to as such until
htfully gotten rid of only by the peace
ful operation of the ballot and the other
instrumentalities of the Costitntion.
It clearly implies, and perhaps was
intended (though somewhat covertly) to
loclare that these amendments are
parts of the Constitution—right

The exact and seemingly cautious

tions, to come into power for no purpose
but to enrich themw-lves by public spoils
and plunder, while they clinch the Jaco
bin nails in the colfin of the liberties of
tho North as well as the South ? Heaven
forbid, uw say.
We cannot conclude, however, without
expressing the opinion, that these oon
ventions in Ohio and Pennsylvania
WERE PACKED.
These resolutions do not, as we believe,
express the views of the real Democracy
of those Ptates. An overwhelming ma
jority in each is against them. This is
hut the work of tricksters. We have
true friends at the North—we mean true
friends of constitutional liberty. We
want and claim no other sort of friends.
The liberties of the North as well as the
South are in jeopardy. We claim as
friends those only in both sections who
are for maintaining these liberties
throughout the country. If these real
friends of public liberty at the North

more than a year ago, in Taliaferro ooun-

case was transferred to Hancock county.

They canuot go into one and express

cannot adopt the opinions of their North

It would be impolitic to insist on a plat-

Murrain, Jnne 9.—There
ing affray, yesterday, at Bledsoe’
ing, fifty miles below here, between two
young men named Colliers and Dunn,
arrising from an insignificant cause,
during which the former was shot and
instantly killed. Dnnn made hia escape.
A Frenchman named Dorioia, a
butcher, was attacked by three negroes
this morning, at Fort Piokering and
beaten, shot and robbed.
Two-negroes, named Wm. Harris and
John Roscnborongh, who were convict
ed of murder sometime ago, before the
Crittenden county, Arkansas Court, were
atMarii
hanged tovlay st Marion, in the presence
of about
fifteen hundred persons, mostly
negroes. At noon the Sheriff went to
prepare them for the exeention, when
they both set upon him and beat him
severely. The assistance of one of their
fellow prisoners wa* called into requisi
tion, and when about to enter their cell,
Harris struck him a fearful blow with a
brick, breaking it over bis brow. The
assistance of five other prisoners was
then oalled in. On their approach
ing Harris, he struck one of them
with an iron bar, after a severe struggle
both were overpowered and brought out
into the hall. When they saw the light
of the sun they bepan to prav and sing,
and thru they continued while they were
being tied and until they reached the
scaffold, whither they marehed between
a guard of whites and negroes, armed
witn shot gone, oolored preachers
in the meantime offering prayers aud
exhortations. Upon the scaffold they
were asked if they had any thing to say,
whereupon Koeen bo rough began speak
ing and oon tinned his remarks in a
rambling, incoherent manner, praying
and singing part of the time, for nearly
half an hour, and making a full confes

• The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
mentions a fight between the Augnata
Factory and the Receiver of Tax Returns
for Richmond oonnty. From what we
can learn of the case it appeals that here
tofore the Augusta Factory has retained
the atock of the company at its par value
of cue hundred dollars per abate—six
thousand shares. The receiver olaims
that uuder the law he waa required to See
that all proparty was returned at its mar
ket value, and on investigation be dis
covered that Augusta Faotory stock sold
on the first day of April last--the Ml
when the return was mode—at onfe
fired and sixty dollars per share,
therefore changed the return from ail
hundred thousand dollars to nine hun
dred and sixty thousand dollars. The
President of the factory contended that
the stock of the company oould only be
returned and taxed at its par value, and
the case was appealed to the Comptroller
Geueral of the State for hia
The Comptroller Gene al deci’ded that
the stock must l>e returned at its market
value. After this decision was rendered,
the factory company applied.to Judge
Gibson for an injunction, restraining the
receiver of tax returns from returning the
atock at more than one hundred dollars
per share. Judge Gibson has appointed
the tenth day of July as a time for hear
ing argument upon the application.
Philadelphia rejoices iu a steadily and
regularly increasing debt, amounting on
the 1st of January of the present year to
$44,420,988, and on the last of May, $46,-

sum of $2,220,000 for the water works,
and also home other odd millions for the
