But we must indulge in a fair criticism .pf tho course, pursued by. a man. claiming to rcp . reseuUaTi: estab?shcd. a.ud .permanent government over .this people. . The proclamation' ?f his Excel-' leucy,'if it means anything at all, was intended aa "a political, .'campaign document t^r.aBsist'hi3:'itadi' crtLfnbndi'in' thelferTR^lKxf^wiek. This^'ohjefct' iB'plainly Rpparent'M^ Districts-. were included atoiotfg the "rebellious," an3;ihat jnost bf -them are like Anderson,; fairly exempt from"} he -cbwge's~prtferred against'them. Indeed, only tAvo^'fb'o^ by any sort' of 'teasbnratf having afforded the" slig'nVest coioriDg' to ibis-preciouVdocumcht. And even those Districts are unfortunately^placed in this_category by fhe'lawles'snesr of a few unknown men, whooe residences 'cemain in obscurity," and for .wh'oae acts no'u.e are" Tespbnribl^savo them? selves. This is the true and uhTarnishcd cbndi-" tioa of things, and yet the'hightst'civil authority in the Nutate arraigns a whole people for tho crim? inal conduct of. less thana'dpsen men. jSu-rely, such an. arraignment was.jiever witnessed in the; worldV history. As .stated last-week,- .we^were-; prcscnt-at Cokesbury-er-!Uod^,B.>pepoww.bjin;the tcrriblc homicide .on Randolph was committed. Had Got. Scott been present, and ? surrounded by a score of- the bratMt m'euofe.-hisrparty^-the' mur? derers .of Randolph- would haws .^escaped; from justice"1 in precisely- the same~m*??er''-that they did flBcape,; provided.the'Governor bad be? like ihe .writer of thia-artioie; totally uu?fr??d.; S?eh rwasrtbe eondifibn'i so far ss we:knbw, it the pas? sengers and cifhens'generally.

The t wo .colored men, members of his_ own. partyjrin conversation with'the deceased when he was fired upon, instantly'drpw their pistols; tiut m?ae.?p-'?f tempt to.arrest the assassins.-. Had Gov. ?Scott been prc30Bt and^ unarmed, is it likely that any arrest wpuld\have . bean made ?. We roter to this.occur? rence because we are cognizanjtof the circumstances attending and immediately^ following'^ia deliber, atc murder. Now, a .fair and hupartiatjudgmeOt will not -attach S)la"me - to such persons as,: in - the Provichmce Of God,\ihappenedr-to be.:preseoi, nor meanly'insinuate that'.the-mUTderers were "per? mit tcd^ to escape^.aa does thei Goveimoj^itL"-.hiB proclamation ?.?offering a .rowjirdl^d'^nTe thousand dollars"for"jh?ir apprehen8ion'.V-Thb charge-then,, so far As the imirdor?f Randolph" is concerned, is entirely unjustifiable, and-mbst 'fallto' fhe ground. -Equally inapplicable is this insinuation "tc-theease; of Lee-N"auce,''for, on the'authority o"f the'New berry Ihrdld, '"efforts wbrei.immcdiately made by. the .Sheriff to arrest the parties." Where is the pretext for this wholesale and' gratuitous, charge against entire communities ? that murderers'"are '??not only permitted, but aided to escape from jus-' '.tice.*T We.-Kaye.shown, ^thut,"'ihva._promj.ncnt in-; .stunec,--any .anx3t was .dangerous.iu the.extreme,, .and. would-not likely b&.. at tempted by.', any sane: man,jUii.deE: similar- circumstances... Therefore, if these charges^?re?gioimdlcss^d^C? muaUibVan, ??ulterior motive in: bringing, themr-beforp tlie pub? lic, *onv the-cve bfvaUvexciting popular: oloolidn.; Besides, the proclamation in our columns appeared -simultaneously with :auot]jcr :from t.hc.iEsccu.iiVe,. otroring.cxtravagani rewnrds-for thc-arrcst- oT^lhe 'm'trrdarevs, - not" onlyr<if Randolph,-"but- of three bthers-^ntf of whom; whs killedraboui;ttro months ago, ^iid-at-which time: (he- Governor offered'a much smaller-reward.

Tho name'nridYicscripttori of the person were set forth in the firsl in.stnhce,-anii"yet. tUSy" are how brought prominently into notice, with a reward increased nearly- ten-fold. . Taking those facts altogether, wo repeat the'eonviction that the ."proclamations" of his Excellency, coining thick and last upou public attention; are iqtendedto ' maniuacture political'capital at the-North. ..As an earnest Democrat, working for.peace, and desirous of prombtipg-h.ariaon;*vrather; tlum jp'rovQko disr. cord, wo'regi'pt. this. sopmiqg intention on the pari of the Chief Executive. H'argues ?badly for the future administration--of his government, and clearly-:.shows- r?'at ha" will borguided by-'interest ?ratiicr thnrt' principle^Snd wi?> shape the course of the State towards scifish and partisan ends. . But, it may be said, th?f reports Ifr?m the vari? ous localities justified the conduct,?of the" Execu? tive. We have nb doubt that exaggerated and' unfounded rumors, sought'a hearing a'uil were re? ceived with too mach-cr-idbace. .In.fact, such is eur information from reliable sources.. But this only increases, the. responsibility, aud does-pot lessen.tlio uuwarranted assumptions.of these prod-, laiuatious. - For tho cbit*'- officer of a .common? wealth to. issup a paper of this grave and importaut character, especially at a critical juncture in his administration, requires more reliable authority thau the fertile braiu of excited individuals, much less 'the statements of such* as are con(c3nedly. frightened out of their wits: \There, is another hprn, of the dilemma, however, boy " vo-are con Winced that- Got. Scott would not' accept U~ Hf certainly did not feel panio-stricken, for his-ante cedente its a soldier'forbid such a conclusion-. Kis knowledge of the peeple, too, would not warrant nor justify bodily fear for himself and friends. More than any other Federal officer, he had ample opportunity to know that the masses of our people" were tired of bloodshed,' war; rapine, fire and sword. He was neither frightened nor uninformed, an'd m'ti.-t 'stand by the record, unless his good sense will come to his relief, and forthwith undo the mischief by .making public reparation' for I bo injury iuDictedjipon whole communities. Let us hope that this course will commend itself to his judgment aud approval.
