that the State was not entitled to be represented in
the meeting. The present charter of this Bank will

WHO is RIGHT?

81 OWE NO ALLEGIANCE TO ANY NAN SET OF
MEN ON EARTH, SAVE ONLY TO THE STATE OF NORTH
CAROLINA, AND, so FAR AS SHE HAS PARTED WITH
HER SOVEREIGNTY, TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The CHARGE THAT CATHOLICS OWE ALLEGIANCE TO
THE POPE Is WHOLLY FALSE"
So spoke Judge CASTOR in his speech in the Con-
venton of 1886.
Mr.. Kenneth Rayner, and the other crusaders in
this "second reformation" believe otherwise. Such
declarations made say they to deceive the pco-
Pile and although the Catholics may swear it, they
still believe it not
The purity of the character of William CASTOR,
as Christian, patriot and statesman, cannot suffer
much from the senseiess diatribes of " small pota
to }" politicians. His name will be revered in North
Carolina by men of all creeds and all political parties
as cherished birthrght while the speeches of some
would-be-statesmen, will be remembered only for .
time and that with pity and disgust.
Read the speeches delivered in the Convention of
1886 on this same questionable exclusion of Cath
olics from ofice-made by North Carolina Protes-
tants men almost as patriotic as Mr. Rayner, and
Judge for yourselves, acho is right.

NEW YORK SENTIMENT.-Late New York papers
contain extended accounts of couple of suicides in
Brooklyn, and of the magnificent burial of one of
the parties. A young man and woman were found
dead, locked in each others arms in the porch of
the house of the young mans father. 1t appears
they had taken prussic acid. The woman was
buried with much ceremony, and an impressive fu-
neral sermon was delivered over her by minister
of the Episcopal Church, in which he dwelt upon
the power of lore "-expressed his sympathy with
the unfortunates, who had loved if not wisely yet
too well, &c. Upon investigation, however, it turned
out that the young man belonged to the fast and
bad, and rather ignorant order of New York young
men and that the woman bad been for years coul-
mon prostitute! Oh ye "whited sepulchres "
Thousands Of dollars could be freely shelled out TO
give eclat and and impressveness to funeral over
two such persons who had died by their own hands,
and to thus crafty the vanity and pride of those
who were conspicuous in doing these donors and
yet at that moment there were thousands of virtu.
Gus and worthy persons in that city suffering

wen conquer or we IL ue.
Mr. Puttick concluded as follows, repeatedly in
terrupted by loud applause:-
And now, fellow citizens, however pleasing the
picture may be that fancy sketches of our country,
and however pleased the patriot may be in looking
through the nternnabe vista of futurity, to catch
glimpse of the unequalcd greatness at which she
may arrive, and when his heart beats with increas-
ed emotion at the prospects spread before him, and
at view, as it were, he takes in all the beauties
and benefits of the land of his birth, he must not
forget that the ocean is made up of thousand
times ten thousand rivulets, and that if these
stopped at the fountain heads, the vast will be
dried up, and what was before source of happi-
ness, prosperity and pleasure will become vast
desert spreading destruction and death throughout
the world. So, if we do not keep the fountains of
civil liberty free and pure, our government must
sink down into despotism that will destroy all the
prospects and hopes of the patriot and statesman,
and involve in unutterabe and inextricable slavery
and degradation the whole people of the country.
The elements of discord and disaection which have
been sown broadcast over the land must be eradl-
Gated or this revered parent of ours, scarcely ar
rived at her zenith of glory, will be hacked and
gashed to pieces by the understrappers OF sectional
strife. Already storm is brewing, to the burst
ing of which all true lovers of the Union look with
fear and trembling The North and the South are
becoming more and more es,ranged each year; and
every week we hear the believing thunders of dis
content issuing from one section or the other Who
can tell the day when the North and South, forget
full of the perls and hardshps which our fathers OF
yore underwent shall be arrayed in deadly hostility
