TO THE DEMOCRATS OF NEW HANO
YER.

We will trouble you with but very few
words, for we know that but few are necessa-
ry We would simply ask you, are you tho
roughly organized Are you prepared to poll
your whole strength? Recolect that in Au-
gust last we did not do our duty in New Han
over, and that the eyes of our sister Counties
are upon US to see if we will redeem our cha
racter. Will we not do it Yes, we know
it. We feel assured that Cass and Butler will
get the largest Democratic vote ever cast in the
County. We must give our glorious ticket a
majority OF 800 votes in this County. Don't
let us be content with less than this. We can
do it easily if every Democrat in the County
will go the polls. But we will not say anoth-
er word. We know the sterling Democracy
of New Hanover too we'll to doubt for mo-
ment that every man will do his WHOLE DUTY.
MASS MEETING AND BARBECUE AT
STRICKLANDS DEPOT.
We would call particular attention 10 the
fact that there will be Mass Meeting of the
Democracy of Dupln, Sampson, and adjoin-
ing Counties, on Saturday, the 4th of Novem-
Der, at StricklaRd's Depot, Duplin County
There will be a Barbecue, free, as matter of
course, to all and several of the best Demo-
cratic speakers in Eastern North Carolina will
CERTAINLY be present and address the people.
The Federalists attempted to hold Mass
Meeting some time ago at Warsaw, about 9
miles from Strcklands Depot, at which there
was present about $50 persons Can't our
folks shew the Feds what Mass Meeting
is? Can't they add a to the $50 and make
it $500 We are authorized to invite all, both
Wings and Democrats, TO come, and they viii
meet with a hearty welcome.

THE VETO POWER.

The wbig leaders are very anxious TO abol
ish the Veto power-or ",he onc-man power"
as they call it. They seem to forget that this
same Veto power was exercised by the father
of his country-WAsH.NGToN-as we'll as by
the ablest Republican Presidents that haye ev
er presided over the Republic. Just let us see
how often this one.man power" has been
exercised by those who have filled the Presi-
Dental chair. The Virginia Republican says
that it has been exercised twenty-five times
since the formation of the government:
