But this attack upon Gov. Ellis win recoil on the
heads Of its authors: II cannot njure him. Strong
in the affections of tho Democracy Of the State. and
conscious he is Of the purity and integrity Of his
motives, the insinuations cast upon him BY the
treacherous and the selfish, who would destroy the
party to promote their own little interesss viii only
serve to sink them lower while they viii raise him

We now appeal to our Democratic cotemporsrics
in all portions Of the State to look into these things
and to come to the rescue Of the party against the
plots and Vaccinations Of disorganizerx DR.. Shaw

by the Fire6rand and the Warcnton Aoes; and

Of his position and his responsibilities Democrat.

gallant men, and them for not advocating
the Thirty Million bill Are these things 10 be cndur
ed: The cloud is small just now-no larger than
mans hand; but it may gather, and unless promptly
dispersed tmay produce injuries which years Of labor
will not repair For part We ask nothing At the
hands Of our contemporaries or Of the Democratic
party of the State. II it be necessary, in order to
ensure harmony, to sacrifice us, let IL be done. We
owe every thing to the gallant and confdins Demo
cracy Of North arolina II We are in the way Of
the FTrsbrand and Of the Warrcnton News. or Of
these who control those sheets. let the Democrats
in their primary meetings say 50. and We will bow
without word to their decision. II any Of our
Democratic contemporaries think that they would
have borne more than We have borne from the two
sheets referred to, let them put themselves in
place. look at all the facts at all the surroundings.
and then give us the benefit VI reconsideration of
their opinion. II they suppose that NC arc disposed
to be dogmatical or dictatoral We beg them to bc-
lieve that they have done US great injustice. Our
first thought ruling thought Is aixays for the
cause ; and il We have now and then spoken freely
and severely, the language was not meant for them,
or for true Democrats but was the result Of the
most ardent desire to do our part in defending the
principles and maintaining the organization Of the
party. We have assumed nothing for the Standard
which we have not freely and chccrfuly accorded 10
our contemporaries refsrrcdto. We repeat We make
this appeal not on our own account but on Account
Of tie cause See to it, bretkren, that frsasoR . o.
