and to uphold the rights and Institutions of all

The object in assembling the people at this
time is TO take into consideration the new issues
which have recently been forced upon the coun
try by the party in power-measures which have
no warrant in the Constitution, and which are
opposed to the spirit and purposes of our institu
tions while. in the language of President Polk,
"war exists" to insist that its prosecution
shall be confined to the policy solemnly set forth
by Congress in July, 1861, that it is mot waged
in the spirit of conquest or subugaton, nor for
the purpose of overthrowiug interfering with
the rights or institutions of the States, bu. to de-
fend and maintain the supremacy of the Consti

that generous support will be given it, as the

ton as Secessionism.

time proposed, for the following reasons:

rebellion. and one and all have refused to even
censure, much less condemn the disunion schemes
OF the Aboltionists;
,. The 50 called Experimentation Conven-
ton failed t. repudiate the gross frauds and cor
ruptions proven upon the party in power by
Congressional investigating committees of its

3. Congress has adopted measures, such as the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia,
which, if constitutional. are ill-tmed and un-
necessary aud calculated to create distrust in the
minds of the loyal citizens of the border slave
States. and the country generally. as to the de
signs of the Administration;
4. Il has proposed to tax the people of the
whole Union to pay for the slaves that States
may see proper TO emincpate. thus throwing ad-

The ELEcT1oN.-We find the following paragraph
in an article relating to the August election going
the rounds of State papers, which is calculated
to misead our soldiers and poll-holders, and which
may as well be corrected. 1t is this:
"Soldiers absent from their counties or compa-
MES, and passing through this State may vote
wherever they may find themselves the day of
election"
The ordinances of the Convention authorize our
North Carolina soldiers to vote for Governor or
other State and County officers an their companies
wherever they may be, in whatever County or State
on the last Thursday in July, which, this year,
comes on the 3lst.
To afford our citizens who are refugees as well as
soldiers who are on furlough or travelling, an op-
portunity to vote, the Convention passed. ordi-
nance authorizing any citizen of this State, who
may be entitled to vote at home to vote for Cover
nor, but not for members of the Legislature or
other State or County officers at any precinct he
might be at on the day of election
Therefore, "solders absent from their Counties
or Companies and passing through the State may
cote for Gorernor alone, wherever they may find
themselves on the day of election" OF course, it
will be understood that refugees soldiers belong
ing to other States, although being here the day
OF election, have no right to vote.
A reference to the ordinances, which we have
published, will chow the correctness of the above

SENDING FLOUR AND BACON OUT OF TIE STATE
The most stringent measures ought to be adopted
and kept up by our State government, to prevent
flour and bacon from being sent out of the State.
With bacon at 40 cents per pound meal at 81 rs
per bushel and -four at S12 to SIS per barrel, the
laboring poor among US can scarcely live If spec
uators and mers are allowed to send the corn, and
especially the -four and bacon out of the State the
poor must suffer keenly the pangs of hunger.
Spectators the worst enemies the South has.
They, with those who skulk from the war and at
thesame time abuse the old Union men as traitors, are
the only Lincolnltes we have among US. The scorn
of all good men and patriots and the frown of God
himself will rest on those who, for few dollars
more, are sending bacon and -four out of the State,
or selling it to be sent out while the poor in their
own neghborhoods actually suffering for these
articles. Such people care neither for their country
nor their neighbOrs, so they can make money.

JOHNSTON COUNTY.

Mr.. Observation-Disclosures in Johnston Coun-
ty clearly indicates preference for G. B. Sanders,
ESQ.,, for the Senate, and William H. Joyner and
Seth Woodall, Esquires for the Commons. If
either Mr.. Woodall or Mr. Joyner should decline to
run, the name of Mr.. William Avery would be &C.
cePtaGle to the people Of the County.
The above ticket is presented to the voters of
Johnston, with the hope that it will meet the gen.
eral appreciation of the people, and thereby super
sede the necessity Of heated political campaign in
this hour of peril to our bleeding country.
MANY VOTERS.
We agree with our correspondent as t. the fore
going ticket They are all honest competent, and
reliable men; and we believe the interests of the
County, and the public interests generally would he
safe in their hands. The people of Johnston, by
large majority, conservative; and they feel the
necessity Of reform in the State government and of
banishing the fell spirit of party from councils.
With such ticket and with "Vance and Victory"
for their watchwords, the conservatives of John
ston, composed they of both the old parties,
will do their full part in aaying the spirit of party
ism and favoritism which has so seriously threat
ened the Southern cause, and which, unless checked
by the hand Of reform will inict serious injury on
the country. A ticket Of good and true men is now
in the field in Johnston and let it be understood
that those who without the best reasons shall op-
pose this ticket will lay themselves liable to the
charge of fomenting discord and party-strife at a
time when unity and harmony should prevail

Lieut.. Leonidas ]. Merritt.


We are grieved to record the death of this gall
liant and noble-hearted young man, who fell in the
battle below Richmond on Tuesday last Lieut..
Merit. was second in command of the Chatham
Rifles 10Th regiment North Carolina troops; and
we learn from his Captain, Capt London, who
passed through this place on SundayD that he was
struck with Minnie ball, which entered his side
through his arm, and came out under his shoulder
blade. He died almost instantly. His last express
sion was, "come on, my brave boys"
Lieut.. Merritt was wounded in the battle of
Wynn's Mill, and was relieved for some weeks from
duty on this account, during which time he occu-
pied his seat as member of the Convention. He
returned voluntarily to his company; as under the
CONSUMPTION law he was exempt being Clerk of
one of the Courts in Chatham. We conversed with
him the day before he returned, and we know, as
his conduct shows, that he actuated by the
loftiest sense of duty His fellow citizens Of Chat
ham were urging him to be a candidate for the
Legislature, and his election would have been GER
tain if he had consented to run, and this also would
have exempted him from the CONSUMPTION; but he
told US he was in for the war; and he could not think
of leaving the brave boys who composed his COM
Pany and who had stood by him in battle. He was
young man of fine attainments and unusual pro-
mise; and if his life had been spared, he would
have taken position among our best and ablest pub
lie men. We knew him intimately, and we mingle
our regrets with those of his numerous friends who
deplore his DEATH

Col. Vance and his Regiment.


As many of our readers feel deep concern
what we know of his movements and situation
since he reached Richmond The Colonel arriv-
ed at Richmond Wednesday the 26lh, his reg
lment forming part of Gen. Ransom's brigade.
lie rested an hour or two in the public square, and
then proceeded under orders to the neighborhood of
with the enemy. He took part with his regiment
IN the terrible struggle Of Tuesday below Richmond.
We have seen no account of the killed and wounded
Of his regiment in that battle but VIC learn that the
brigade to which Col. Vance is attached, charged
for one mile and quarter under the fire of 80 pieces
of artillery, with shells weighing 800 pounds falling
on the field from the enemys gun-boats. Colonel
Vance's regiment behaved nobly. They never fall
tered, but went forward, shouting for old North
Carolina" and "old Ze5." The Colonel was in
front. Four of his gallant dead were found next
morning within 40 feet of the lannon's mouth
ahead of every other Southern regiment for no 9TH
er dead were found so near the guns. Capt. John
Jones, of Caldwell, getting separated from his regi
ment in the darkness and confusion pressed straight
on towards the flashing of the guns, until stopped
and turned back to the right by Gen. Ransom. 1t
Was glorious affair for arms, and among the
bravest of the brave on the occasion were Vance
and his regiment.
We learn that Gen. Ransom's brigade to which
Col. Vance belongs, has been transferred from Gen.
Huger's to Gen. Longstreets division, and that the
latter division is the enemy the James river.

The Conservatives not a Party.

Those in this State who hold conservative princi-
pies, have party organization. They differ wide
ly on many points of political doctrine. Among
them are men who held the abstract right of seces-
sion by State; but they were opposed to the ex-
ercise of this right up to Lncoln's proclamation,
when all hope of RECONCILIATION had departed. There
those also who denied, an toto, all right to Sc
cede, either as reserved o. Constitutional right,
and held attempt to secede revolutionary
and nothing else. Few, if any of them, believed
that secession or revolution could be accomplished
without bloOdshed. They thought it better to bear
as long as they could, with honor
THE ills they had,
Than fly to others which they knew not Of"
But Lincoln's proclamation left them no alterna-
tive but war. They are therefore agreed, while
doing more than their full share in meeting the
enemy
LIST. To oppose all partyism and favoritism in the
administration Of the government, because they re-
gard these things as injurious to the cause.
Cd. To sustain firmly both the State and Confed-
crate governments in the faithful and just admins
tration of the Constitution and laws, and to oppose
by Speech by writing and at the ballot-box, all de-
viatons therefrom. They seek thus to conserve or
preserve the two governments in their purity and
make them what they ought to be, for themselves
and posterity
Sd. They have urged, and are urging a vigorous
prosecution Of the war, the surest means of OBJ
tanning honorable peace on the basis of Southern
independence.
4th. They are opposed to the rule by which the
State government has been conducted since the war
begun, to.wit: that those who made the revolu-
ton are alone entitled to direct tor in other
words, "to the victors belong the spoilS."
They are not office seekers. They have not asked
for office, will they do so; but they are mort
fed and indignant, when told that they are under
the ban, and not worthy to be trusted; and they
demand reform in this respect and especially do
they demand it, when they feel and the whole
country feels that those in power in this State have
shown themselves, in nearly every instance, unfit
to conduct affairs. From Mr.. Johnston, of
Mecklenburg, they could not reasonably expect re-
FORM for he has acted partizan with the spoils
party from the time the commenced.
The conservatives are, therefore, not partizans
but opposed to party; and so far from being enemies
of the government they proving themselves the
best friends the government has, by striving to have
it conducted as it should te.
