tributionsts, Rally" The Editor appears to have
wakei from deep sleep just before writing it. and
as in duty bound he hurrahs for distribution. He
points his party to the GLORIOUS examples" set
them by the Know Notb,ngs in Granville, Johnston,
Franklin BERTHE, Wilkes, Beaufort and Pasquotank;
and he proposes big shout to go up from Curri-
tuck to Cherokee and from Roanoke to Cape Fear to
the following effect: Is North Carolina-Her Pros
perity, Her Property, and Her. Rights!" Very
good, neighbor Syme We join you in that. Let
any man dare to touch North-C Cardinals "Proper-
