r Tn. Conmhia Cnroliniaa says OF the late election
in this State:
..W. think, az the matter stands the Southern
p.rty O, North Caro,ina should pay that the Con-
v4ntion may now. be defeated. Give the Northron
party iull vi tory. and how can they use 1t? Do
they propose any measures Of resistance Moth
: inn, that we have heard Of II they win, then VIC
: tory will convIc, them of submission t. Blacl Re-
pubcani m AS the Southern party will not have
: majority in the Convention. t. ey should hope that
: the :, :. Aen ton may he defeated. If this be So.
tnen another contest should be initiated Immediate
". and put the question upon its strictly Southern
and Northern is~ne, and upon this fight with eper.
: gv and vigor worthy tae magnitude of the cause.
Il am we felt assured tney will the Northern
party from cn Of 'he State to tho other. Let
"ur -.,tterr friends i'm North Carolina but get ap
ucit4 from Ills defeat"
e All Of ~hch is a good ad.ce
