fighting your battle with moro zeal and energy than

fully: They there meet the united hosts of both
Fillmore and Fremont. And will you. men Of the
South, turn your arms against your friends there,
and stab those who are fighting for you? Will you
worse than throw away your votes on Fillmore,
Thereby giving aid to those who striving to work
your destruction? It is our firm conviction that
every vote cast for Mr. Fillmore is an indirect vote
for Fremont; and we are sorry to say that there
are men in North Carolina, who, whether they
coincide with in this opinion not would still
throw their votes for Fillmore, even if they knew it
would defeat Buchanan and result in Fremont's cleo
ton Their hatred to the Democratic party is SUI
perior to their love of country. They had rather
see the Constitution violated than see its entegrity
maintained by the Democratic party. They arc
reckless rash and bad men ; and now is the time to
crush them.
Let North Carolina give such majority for Buch.
anan and Breckenridge will not only astonsh enc.
mics from without, but strike dismay to traitors
