Great popular demonstrations have been made at
various points in this department recently in favor
of free labor and the Presidents Proclamation. The
most radical and liberal vie wa are publicly expressed
by the speakers at These meetings, and are received
with enthusiastic appreciation by sbe people. 1t IS
most significant fact that the pcn-slaveholders, who
are, o.courss, as everybody knows, largely IL the
majority in North Carolina as soon as protection 10
afforded them, express and applaud the strongest
Slavery sentimentsand he btterest dennnclatons
OF the slave olgarchy. The free labor feeling, can
affirm deliberately from wide and careful ooserva-
,ion is the prevalent one in all that portion OF the
State which is now within the Union lines. As TO
the Union men, who chiefly observation-disclosures

the utter ruin Of all other interests, they believe to
have been the rhine cause OF the Rebellion. These nom
saveeolders show their esrnestness and sncerlty by
epsting as Union eOdiers without bountes or einer
rnercenary inducements; and they make the best OF

through the long nights Of Secession rule OF the
bands of the Rebels Is one Of the principal reasons
Tor this maguity. The Rebels vindictiyey cell the
North Carolina Union troops the " BnialoeB," which
our troops have adopts1 as popular phrase, and
are proud of such associates though they would not
