stick to it do not keep thinking how large or hard it is but go al it and little by little it will row mailer until it is done gran's withdrawal we find in the new york evening post reference to rumor from cincinnati that one mr richard smith of that city editor of the leading republican paper the gametic j is engaged in get ting the signatures of prominent western politicians to a letter to general grant asking him to retire from the presidential contest and leave the national committee to nominate some new candidate mr smith and those acting with him argue that certain defeat ivill follow to the republican pnty under general grant while under some new candidate their is a chance of defeating greeley " we sliall not be surprised if when the greeley movement shall be more fully developed by the action at baltimore there should be a load call for grant's withdrawal from the radical ranks but it will be too late the mischief has been done and so completely ihat it is beyond remedy the doom of radicalism is sealed whether without grant as its candidate the axe of tho cbappaqua woodchopper has been laid at the root of the tree an4 down it will tumble ridiculous radical de tun ce the radicals do not pretend to deny the crimes and outrages against the peo ple laid to others the only excuse they attempt to get up is they say some dem ocrats helped them to perpetrate these crimes this is not true but suppose it were what a ridiculous and puerile defence ! are ihey any less guilty or any less to be condemned and rejected by the people because they got some bad men from a another party to join them . such a sub terfuge is too transparent to mislead the most simple the radical party perpetrated these crimes against the state and people and they now put forward for they support and confidence of the people the very men who co-operated with others in the perpe tration of these crimes and outrages and while they thus put ihem forward they do not even apologize for their mis rule or give an empty promise of reform — they only ask to be continued in power — sentinel a vote for radicalisa — what doks it mk an ? — the raleigh ncrcs says : docs any man who contemplates voting for any radical nominee at the next election consider what a vote for radicalism means ? if not we beg him to stop and for a moment think in j.,70 a few week j before the elec tion governor holden suspended the constitution and laws he raised an army of ruffians partly from western north carolina and partly from tennessee to support whom cost senventy four thou sand dollars of the people's money — which was paid without authority in law ily means of this army of desperate men a large number of innocent persons were arrested without warrant and cist into prison some of these persons tor tured and hanged by lhe neck to make them testify as the radicals wanted them to testify for these crimes against the constitution aud against civil liberty governor holden was impeached the radical parly in their conven tion solemnly endorsed governor i iol - den's course that party went out of its way to do this aud this same party has the impudence now to ask the people to vote for the rad ical candidates and thus sanction all the honors of the kirk war ! can the people afford to do this thing let them consider well the meaning of a vote cast for the radical nominees such a vote is an endorsement of hol den and kiik — an endorsement of des potism and misrule *<_>*- tilt saceedxess of marriage for the man and woman who purely and truly love each other and are guided by the law of justice marriage is not a state of bondage indeed it is only when they become by this outward acknowl edgment publicly avowed lovers that freedom is realized by them in its full significance thereafter they can be openly devoted to each other's interest and avowedly chosen and intimate friends together they can plan life's battle and enter upon lhe path of progress that ends not with life's eventide together they can seek the charmed avenues nf culture and strengthened by each other can brave the world's frown in the rugged but heaven-lit path of reform home with all that is dearest in the sacred name is their peaceful and cherished retreat within whose sanctuary bloom the virtues that make it a temple of beneficence a faithful warning — people are contented with a name to live or with low attainments in grace they appear as if they were only anxious to know how small a degree of true religion will suffice to evince that they are the subjects of christ's spiritual kingdom and mora beis ofthe family ofgod it would be well if such professors of christianity were a little troubled with fear lest they should be wholly destitute of the genuine charac teristics of true godliness for surely to have no earnest desires and to manifest r.o active endeavors to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our lord and saviour jesus christ is a sad proof of a low if not of a dead state ofthe soul may such who may nan the life of tbe vicar of everton be stirred up by his exemplary piety to give all diligence to make their calling and election sure ! why i beefsteak like a

stormy night in the middle of the atlantic ocean with a heavy rolling sea in the very middle of the night the con stant tunk-unk-nnk tank-trak-unk unk of the engine whicli had been our lullaby night and day suddenly ceased j and all was still the stoppage of the engine of course : awakened all the passengers and some j ladies were greatly frightened they | rushed out of their staterooms and made the confusion worse confounded fiyally a benedict was despatched to learn the cause of the trouble lie soon returned and announced that the engine had bc come heated and tliey had stoped to let it get cool he added that if the engine 1 had been broken there was no danger as they were only three miles from the land the ladies were entirely satisfied and retired ; the engine soon began its tunk uiik-unk-unk again and all was peace — the next morning at hieakfast some of the ladies asked the name of the land or the island that was so near during the night ln answer the gentleman with a solemn face pointed his finger directly downwards — — ■ . fn . vance ox cockade caxt.ye_.i — ; al vvhiteville gov vance spoke far two hours with his accustomed power and in terest cockade cantwell was bold

never before has it been our fortune to see so many and such hot shot fired so rapidly in the whole course of our lives indeed the sympa thies of many kind-hearted men were ex cited for the o_t judge cheers and rounds of applause and roars of laughter greeted every new point touched upon by the governor as he summarily replied to each point that cantwell had attempted to make men laughed until

successful prosecution of a course of liber 1 studies i'he numerous buildings of the college contain spacious chapels socicty-halis and lector rooms together with pleasant dormitories sufficient for a large number of students the libraries cabinets and apparatus are well provided for ami are constant receiv ing accessions so that the means for securing a liberal education at davidson college are surpassed by few institutions in the country besides ihis property worth at least one hundred and twenty thousand dollars the college possesses invested funds t ihe amount of ninety thousand dollars making the institution now worth over two ui k dred thousand doi.i.ars and free of debt the liberal charter of the college allow it to hold property to the amounl of five hundred thousand dollars thus it will be seen that the college is tirmly established on a solid financial l.asis whateter benefac tions may l>e bestowed upon this institution are in no danger if being thrown away ur lost six professors whose names are well known as successful educators the ablest the country can furnish are diligently at work in their respective departments ; and the trustees have just secured the

his'peculiar science this will require the addition of several new profes ors to the existing faculty secondly tmtich ofthe income that would naturally arise from tuition is expended by the liberal policy of the college in the free education of candidates for the ministry with these and other claims upon the income ofthe college the trustees an barely able to sustain the present corps of professors and while they feel confident that ihey caii by the favor ol a kind providence maintain the institution as il is they are not able to go forward in making it what it mighl i.e or whal i ought to i.e to meet the ever advancing demands of the age fa a higher order of culture resides this there are many deserving young men ot limiti d means v ho are thirsl ing for a liberal education but an unable to secure the coveted boon it would afford much pleasure to the trustees to render to such young men all need d assistance ; and thev would readily aid them in their struggles if ih means of ti i ollege would justify sueh a libera policy the board of trustees is further encouraged to present the claims of davidson college to lhe friends of learning because god ha signally i.i 1

having bee n enabled by the blessing of heaven to lay s sare a foundation and to establish a college in no respect inferior to any in tie south we firmly believe thi i the friends of learning and religion are willing to aid as in still further enlarging its facilities for thorough culture and in helping this cherished institution to a iiii nobler career of usefulness we therefore appeal
