Brethren of the Democratic party-Vo-
tiers of North Carolina-the moment is at
hand when you will be called on to exer-
else the highest privilege which is guar
antied to the citizen, under the free and
enlightened Constitution with which Hea-
ven has blessed our Republic. The hour
is but distant few days, when you will
be called upon to determine, whether the
affairs of this great and happy country will
be administered according to the spirit and
the maxims of the sages and patriots who
framed that sacred instrument for us; or,
whether those affairs will be administered
by the leaders of party whose measures
and principles not only have nothing in
common with the interests, the wishes,
and the desires of the great masses of the
people, but which are at war with every
feature ofthat Constitution, which it should
be the highest pride and the first wish of
every North Carolinian's heart to see ham
ded down to his children and his children's
children, in all its pristine length and
breadth, unmutilated and untouched by
the reckless and unholy hand of ambition.
The hour is now upon you, freemen of
North Carolina, in all its vastresponsibili-
sties.. Can there be doubt how these res
sponsibilities will be discharged by you?
Nv hat are some of these responsibilities
In the first place, you will be called on to
say whether you desire TO have saddled

swelling the glorious triumph which the
pure principles of Democracy are then
destined to achieve? Surely there is not
a man in North Carolina, who has one
spark of patriotism in his bosom, who will
not only be there himself, but who will
exercise every honorable means in his
power to bring others there too.

ing, what's it? Connect it with what one
Of their great leaders in the North, J. Q.
Adams, lately said, in an address to the
young men of Boston, that "THE AN
NEXATION OF TEXAS TO THIS u
MON is THE BLAST OF THE TRUM-
PET FOR A FOREIGN. CIVIL, SER
VILE, AND INDIAN WAR"
We have been forced into this defence,
by proper sense of what was due to the
honor and dignity of the Democratic par
ty, whose organ we are. We had hoped
that the ensuing election would have been
permitted by our adverssries to take its &C
customed quiet and peaceful course. We
had hoped that they would have consented
to address the people of North Carolina
upon the great questions at issue between
the parties, and particularly upon the Ia
riff, and the annexation of Texas-ques-
tons of such deep concern to the South;
and at all events that they would have ex-
erted their influence to restrain the public
mind from any excuses of violence-not
to exasperate and prepare it for revolution.
But we say, and say it deliberately, too,
that if revolution and violence must come,
Democrats will be found battling for their
country, its freedom, it's laws and republic
can Constitutions, and resisting every and
all reasonable efforts to overthrow them,
by all the powers with which nature has
endowed them.
This secret circular ought to caution the
friends of good order and free government
to be on their guard against false alarms,
unfair means, and violence, on the day of
election. Efforts may be made to drive
Democrats from the polls. In the language
of this circular " truth should be made
known early, and falsehood only breads
examination" Beware then, fellow-citi-
zens, of secret means to surprise your bet
ter judgments and to infame your passions.
There is much wisdom in the adage that
"the greatest thief is apt to cry the loud
est" and they who are ever ready to charge
others ought most to be suspected.

Voters of North Carolina, we ask you
to read the following declaration of Mr..
Clay himself, on the operation of the Ia
riff, before you cast your votes -
LowNDEs, Oct. 2, 1914.
Dear Sir: The declaration which heard
Col. Preston make, was to this effect That,
at the White Sulpher Springs, in Virginia,
Mr.. CLAY DECLARED, THAT 1T WAS
TRUE, CONGRESS COULD NOT FREE
OUR SLAVES, BUT THAT THEY
COULD, BY HIGH DUTIES ON I'M
PORTS, MAKE THEM SO VALUELESS,
THAT, If THEY DID NOTRUN AWAY
FROM US, WE SHOULD BE GLAD TO
RUN AWAY FROM THEM; AND THAT
THAT WAS THE GREAT OBJECT OF
THE TARIFF SYSTEM.
This declaration was made by Col. Preston
in the Fall and Winter, | think, of 1881, and
Mr.. Clay's remarks were made that summer.
Col. Preston repeatedly made the same dec
laration, publicly and privately. Col. Cliff
ton, Of Dallas, DR.. Lawrence, Of this county,
Wings, and Rob't Riyes and Reuben House,
of this county, Democrats-heard Col. Pres
ton make the same declaration, some of them
like myself, repeatedly. Yours, truly,
R. P. McCORD.
3. A. Reynolds, ESQ.
Never did man speak more truly than
MIR. Clay did when he uttered the above
words. Can it be believed tina, the same
man who spoke these words, is the man
whom the Federal leaders in North Caro-
lima, are moving heaven and earth to eIe-
vate to the Presidential chair. Yes, fell
low-cilizens, the leaders of that party fol-
lowing the blind lead of a single NAH
reckless of the veal Of their coun,ry-reck-
less of the vital stab which the South must
receive, should Henry Clay be elected
through the continuance Of the Tariff act
of AZ; reckless of every thing but sue
cess-are spending their MONEY, time,
and talents, to seduce the farmers of our
country, to arrange themselves under the
standard Of their hereditary enemies.
Voters of North Carolina, what can you
expect from man who would but few
years ago tell you that Protective Tariff
would ruin you-would make you RUN
AWAY FROM YOUR NEGROES be-
cause they would be UTTERLY VAL
UELESS; and who now gIories in being
called the Father Of that same ruinous sys-
tenn, simply because he thinks it will Sc
cure for him the support Of the Northern
People Of North Carolina, we ask You
again. can You vote for such man? Open
your eyes look calmly at this matter,
and ask yourself this question, and we
think you cannot but answer it in the
right way-,hat is in the negative.

times, it is necessary, by an amend

These are the snbieuts.in relation to the

OF the serious attention of the People and
OF new administration. There are 9th
ers OF an administrative nature, which
require prompt and careful consdera-
! tons.

stability and uniform value, and as init

It, the insurance Of the faithful perfor-

Bank Of the u. States, with such liuiita-
tons, conditions and restrictions as
have been indicated by experience, should
be left to the arbitrament Of enlightened
public opinion.
Candor and truth requiee me to say
that. in my Judgment, whilst banks
continue TO exist in the country, the SER
vices Of Bank of the United
States cannot be safely dispensed with.
| think that the power TO establish such
bark is IA settled question; settled by
Washington and by Madison. by the
People, for forty years acquiesence, by
the Judiciary, and by both of the great
parties which SO long held sway in this
country. ! know and respect the con
trary opinion, which is entertained in
this State. But in my deliberate con-
siciion of the matter, view the power
to establish such bank as being settled,
as being necessary and proper power, The
only question is as to the expediency of
its exercise. And on questions of mere
expectancy, public oplnion ought to have
controlling influence. Withou. banks,
believe we cannst have a sufficient cur
rency; without a Bank of the United
States, fear we cannot have sound
currency. But tits the end, that of
