Political Jubilee in Wilmington.
WrILaiNoTON, N. C., August 11.
The grandest politioal deounstrations
over vitnessed bore is now in progress
in honor of the recent Conservative
victory in this State. Railroads and
st.coators brought in hundreds of per
r: froi other counties. This even
ing there is a grand illumination,
torch-light procession and bonfires.
The whole city is alive with excite
mot., cannon firing and the di-play
of firc-works. Thoiu ands of persons
are in the procession and on the streets,
but good order and foelin&~ univera'l.
ly prevails. There are n'o motto".,
devices and transparenets to give of
fence to the ttefcatt l party, nnd
everything is oouducod in the most
dignitled and conciliatory manner.
The speech of Colonel A. M. Wad
deli, the Conservative CongreFsman
elect, is considered importa n fore.
shadowing to some extent the future
policy of the Conservative party with
regard to the negro. The tviiwing
is an extract:
"Without presuming to dictate to
others, 1 will expresa the hope that
one of the first acts of the next Le
gislature, which will be largely Con
servative, will be a formal deolaration
of their ii 'ontion not to disturb the
black man in the enjoyment of the
rights guaranteed to him by law; that
they will restore, if possible, the
school fund, of which he, in common
with his white follow-citizens, have
been robbed, and will pay the debt of
universal education, which is duo
from the State ; not as the Republi.
cans have done, in promises unfulfill
ed, but honorably and to the very last
farthing of the means at their con
mand, and that their whole course
will exhibit them as reformers and
not as revolutionists."
The Negro due to be '{ipcd Out.
It is charged that Gov. Scott is en
trusted with the special mission from
his Northern brethren, of the total
destruction of the black race in South
Carolin,.-the same as Holden, Bul
look and others, in the Southern
States. It has leaked out., that Con.
gres,, shortly after the close of the
war, favored a conflict of races in the
South-thereby inking the Southern
whites the agents in the destruction
of the black race. And it has re
cently come to light. that R. K. Scott,
Governor of South Carolina, advooat
ed this policy to Gon. Wade Hump
ton, Iie said to Ocn. Hampton, that
"lie was tired of the negroes-that he
wished to rid the Stato of them."
Scott has sought every opportunity to
bring the two races into collision, and
having failed up to this time, he has
how issue'l arus unid fixed aniniuni
tion to the negroes for the purpose of
p recipitating thle wicked purposes of
his pauurt y,k knowi: g as lie does, that a
conflict will result, to the discomfueit,
uro and dostruction of the negro
race. More, Gov. Scott is well aw-ire
of the fatt, that the white poipulation
of the state are armed sutfl:ient to
meet any attack from the colored peo
ple; and the nhites refusing to ac
ee :o his wihesu~ in coimmuencing the
conflict, accounta for his distribution
of armas and ball cartridges amnong the
bhe,ks. The plans are well laid by
the Northern people. It is not the
purpose of the North to sacrifice the
wvhitu population of the South, only
what is actually necessary in the ex,
tinotion of the Afrieanu race. Gov.
Scott i-s at the head of the movement

14.-An unusual event occurred here al
last night in the marriage of the a
Ilon. Albert T. Morgan, white, a dis
tinguished Republican Senator in the P
Mihsissippi Legislature, to Miss Car. b
rio Higbgate, colored. The ceremony
was performed by a colored minister. a
The couple left immediately for Cleve

via Louisville. The affair naturallyt
creates a sensation in the community. S
Morgan is a lawyer of some ability, r
of te-nporate habits, and colonel of a t

WINNSBOROa
Wednesday Morning, August 17, 1870.
Tuae l3aIIot ftecommenemded in
Our Primuary Meetings.
A more general resort to the bal
lot in our primary meetings, while
tending to awaken greater interest in I
public affairs, would largely extend
the influence of the active few who
uow, in our several counties, through
picked chairmen and packed commit
tees, in fact control them. But the
kind of work done by the active few
would be changed very much for the
better, since it would be obliged to
take the form of persuasion and ar
gument, rather than that of enunoia
tion and explanation. Publie meet
ings in our County towns are now l
simply enouncements of what a few t
men have determined on beforehand,
accompanied perhaps by some little 1
courteous explanation. They are not
deliberative bodies at all. The
Chairman and his Committee are go
ing through a farce of deliberation, it
it is true, but at soul, they feel indif
ference for the remarks or suggestions
of outsiders. The consciousness of
such a state of things effectually
quelle debate, and kills out interest.
The speeches, pro or ,con, are flat, and
to those in the ring, stale and unpro
fitable. The meeting is not called for
the purpose of deliberation and deoi
slon, but to appoint a delegate,or nomi- I
nate a candidate,that some County Tri
umvirato have settled on, during their a
lunt private consultation, when sitting a
in Committee of the Whole upon the 1
State of the Union. It seems to I
us absurd to suppose that public spir.
it will grow, if this thing continues. 1
It is the nurse of intellectual conceit
amongst our loaders, and of intellec
tual indolence amongst our people.
The remedies are various, and If the
blacks will only split their vote in this
election, will come naturally enougb,in
the speedy formation of two parties,
watchful and jealous of individual
prominence, except when resulting
facom the use of the ballot. The bal.
lot will certainly play a leading part
in whatever remedy may be hereafter
applied, it perhaps, then, would be
well to introduce it at once In our
primary meetings throughout the
State.
That the public meetings of Fair
field do not now really represent the
decisions of the entire intelligence of
the County, cian perhaps be in part
proved by reference to the fact, that,
at the only really large public meeting
during the last three yeers, the one in
t:,a fahl o,f sixty-eight, the programme
of' resolving to employ no laborers
thaut might vote for Grant and the
lRadical ticket, which that meeting
was called to recor d, (for It was not
supposed that it would, by the merest
accident, become a delIberatIve as
sembly,) was defeated by the nskil
ful common sense of two or three un
pretending citizens averse to public
debate. And so, If every publio t
meeting were as full as that one, men
would have to argue, debate and per
suade, or see their calculations most
wofully disappointed. Let our meet
ings, then, be large and full, and as t
one moans of bringing about a full f
attendance, let it be well understood em
that upon all im portant matters there s
will always a be a fair ballot open to i
all. .
Let South Carounua Now Do I
Likewise. e
If two years ago t)he people of North i
Carelipa had come forth .every man

ublic Spirit and how to En- c
courage It i
We are glad to chronicle the inter
t taken in the Iarbaoue, since it is an.
idenco of the fact that public spirit (
not altogether a thing of the past. v
Te hear that at least seventy-five v
ieep will be slaughtered on the coca
2
on, besides beeves and hogs in pro. t
ortion, and trust that we have not
een misinformed.
In reflecting over the methods of
wakening and keeping alive public
Airit, such is this barbecue shows, in
ie country, in this State, it has
>emod to us, that, if citizens would
sort to the ballot wore generally in
hoir township or neighborhood meet
igs, and also in their large County
teetings, a healthier and more earn
at interest in what nearly concerns 1
hem all, would perhaps gradually
row up and spread. Thu proper
ray to appoint delegates, candidates,
mportant committees, &c., is by bal
ot. Let every neighborhood in Fair
iold, for example, ballot for dele.
ates to a nominating convention to
seet at the Court House next month ;
nd when met, let the convention bal
ot for candidates to be run for Coun
y Commissioners, County School
Jommissioner, Probate Judge, and
bree Representatives in the Gonoral
kssembly. If the Republicans are
rillirg to unite with the Union Re
ormers on a compromise ticket, let
hem indicate it, and name their
hoice, in time for the Convention to
onalder it with courtesy.
We know that the causes of a lack
f public spirit in the country which
eads citizens to leave the manage
nent of their politics to a few active
nen, are various and deep, and not to
>e remedied by any mere quackery.
We, nevertheless, throw out the sug
lestion of a more general resort to
)allotting, as something that has a
endenoy to do good. Under this
resent system of a picked chairman
mnd packed committees, three or four
nen manage the entire County of
airfield, and the same is true of oth
ir Counties in the State. The ballot
ystematically resorted to, would very
ften quietly and silently and unox
eotOdly astonish the community, and
hose that usually manage its politics,
y the names it would bring out at
lie head of important committees,
nd for delegates and candidates ;
mnd the men flung forward by the
allot would warm into entlusia: m
rom a consoiousnes3 that strong
riends were quietly behind them.
Intil something of this sort is de
nanded by public opinion, cordial
banks are due to those few citizens
who undea take much drudgery, to
'erve the people to the beet of their
Lbility. If citizens will not take the
rouble to attend a public meeting,
mow can they do otherwise than feel
ustly grateful to those public-spir it
d and active moz who do take the
rouble to do so, and thus pay in full,
or whatever honor their trouble may
ring the m?

PoLiTICAL AND GOVERNMENTAL RE.
FORM.-Tbe honor belongs to the
great State of Illinois of initiating
the first and most important move
move for reform of our State govern
Ientits which has been attempted since
the late war. One of the most do
pilorablo of the consequences of the
war has been the rapid declino in
morality, and in regard for the true
principles of Republican freedom and
good government in our State and
municipal systems, and in the vast in
cr(lase of corruption, venality, and
selfish and partinu aggrandizement.
Thc accession to power of the radi
cal party, with their profound con
tempt for the old ideas of the fathers
of the Governncett, with their ten
dencies to political usurpation, aid to
the unscrupulous u.e of political pat
ronage for personal and party aggian
disenient, regardless of the old land.,
marks and limitations of constitutioon
al republicanism, and of the funda
mental provi.uins of Magna Charta
and bills of rights, has spread corrup.
tion through all the States, to an ex
tent which is not paralleled in any
other country in the civilized world,
and which has caused the trul,, and
patriotic of our citizeus to despn - of
the future of our Republic.-New
