Public Sentiment.
We continue brief extracts from our numerous
letters, as follows
A Vance man in Guilford writes:
"All right up here. All for Vance and no mistake"
From Chatham friend writes us, which is cor
roborated by many:
"Vance will carry this County by large ma
jority."
An intelligent gentleman in the West says:
81 am happy to inf,rm you that the gallant Vance
will get nearly everything this side of the Ridge"
Vance man in Nash speaks encouragingly, and
says:
81 had been a subscriber to the Register for fiji.
teen or twenty years at the time 1t made its plunge
into the van of the destructves. Since then have
had no use for it. And as to the State Journal
do not think any free American citizen ought to
read it 1t Is disgrace to any community that
permits it to pollute its moral atmosphere by its
disgusting presence"
From Granville gentleman writes:
"Vance will run in this County like fire in dry
stubble"
gentleman from Brunswick County writes US:
81 trust both you and Vance will be spared to
expose the wrongs and the great injustice, which
the party in power have done and are now aiming
at the old Union men, or that portion of the people
who would not 60 with that corrupt party l am
OF opinion that the people of this County have
opened their eyes at last and if they could be got
ten to the polls would give Vance good majority"
One writing from Burke says:
"All things are going finely here for Vance, Neal
and Parks. Their election is beyond peradventure."
Ap old soldier of Forsyth County writes US:
81 was soldier in the war of 1912 with Great
Britain, and no man has right to doubt my pa
triotsm to my country. We had good govern
ment which was destroyed by fanatics of the North
and secessionistS of the South But in building up
new government we must not be deprived of the
rights and privileges enjoyed under the old gov
ernment If we are, our people have enjoyed free
dom too long to submit to it."
Another from that County says:
"Supply our brave boys with Vance tickets, and
they will return such vote as will strike terror
into the ranks of the Johnston men,"
One writing from old Surry says:
1.-The people intend to read Holden's paper and
support Col. Vance They want reform in the gov
eminent and the best men for responsible offices,
and they intend to make no compromise with the
destructives."
Another says:
"Col. Vance's majority in this County over Mr..
Johnston, will be overwhelming"
From Buncombe friend writes
"Vance's prospects are as bright as a silver dol
lar, and the old line seceSsionStS arc as dead as
dried herring.
From Haywood County friend writes:
"The people in old Haywood will meet at the
5allotbox on the first Thursday in August and cast
alarger majority for our gallant young countryman,
u. b. Vance, than was cast for any candidate
in this County"

"Hurrah for Vance. He will make clean sweep
in old Montgomery"
One writing from Cowan's Ford, Lincoln County,
says:
81 assure you that Vance will make clean sweep
on both sides of the river in Lincoln and Neck
lenburg."
From CASTOR County friend writes:
"If you ask the people for which of the Coloncls
they going to vote, they will tell you that they
will vote for the fighting Colonel, and not for the
one that lies in the shade and does his fighting by
big swelling words"
