WHAT THE CONSERVATIVES WANT TO DO.
~ 10 DC leu Uy YOU
June IL, 1862.


WHAT THE CONSERVATIVES WANT TO DO.
What do the people of the State mean by change
of administration and reform of the State govern
ment?
l. We want to turn men out of office who had no
more foresight than to believe that could whip
the Yankees before breakfast, and who taught the
people that they would wipe up all the blood that
would be split with a handkerchief and who pro-
fesSed that they would do all the fighting, and pay
the cost for shilling; and we want to put men in
who had prudence and foresight enough to foresee
the impending evil and warn the people; for we
don't believe the Southern will prosper while
controlled by such vain and shortsighted dema-
gogues.
3. We want to turn men out of office that will
not regard their oath sufficiently to stick to the
Confederacy, after they sworn to support it,
til they compelled to forsake it; and put men
in who will not take the oath to support the Con-
federacy with concocted schemes in their hearts to
tear it down.
8. We want to turn men out of Office who would
take from the people the liberty of the press, of
speech, and of conscience, by means of treason
laws to establish their own political creed and put
men in who will stick to the right of liberty of
speech, of the press and of conscience before God
and justice to all men,
d" f. We want to turn men out of office who are not
willing for the majority rule and put men in who
believe in the right of the majority ruling, for that
is the only principle of true democracy upon which
a republican government can ever exist. -
B. We want to turn men out of Office who were
so anxious to urge the people into the war by
means of secession, with fair promises that they
were ready to fight with the first who fought. and
are now lying back, bidding others to CO. and give
them the offices of the country and put those in
who faithfully warned the people of their danger,
and who advised them to keep out of it as long as
possible, and never-to enter into such bloody war,
without preparation except when compelled to doit
6. We want to turn out those who are willing to
rush the country headlong into bloody war with
out preparation against numerous and well-armed
power and put such in as preferred to hold their
government in their power as they had it, and pre-

pare for the consequences. before they got into
them. or rather count up the cost of such an awfu
struggle, before we went into it. as the Word o.
God tells us all wise men will do
Z. We want to turn out of Offce those who think
more OF their own political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
power, than they do Of the lives and interests Of
the people, and put in men that would rather yield
many of their political wishes and creedS, than to
destroy people to the extent of determination and
subject the dear women and children, and old folks
to be reduced to shameful slavery and disgrace
suffer alone, with no rulers but negroes and YAM
KEGS.
D. we want to turn men out of Office who have
proved By their deeds and lives, that they have no
regard Tor oaths and constitutions and put those in
whom We believe will stick to the Confederacy as
long as there is any hope whether all things please
them or not and who can differ and let differ, and
be friendly with ALL
y. We want to turn those out of Office who pre-
fer foreigners for State Editors, and put those in
who prefer native bornsitizens for such responsible
places.
10. We would like to turn out of office those who
Will endorse such threats saw in the State
.JourRFt, of May 2lst, taken from the Wilmington
Oj0arndt-and put those in who would prefer to
protect the best men Of the destructives and leave
the others with God to reform if they have not
united the objectionable sin, and are given to
hardness OF heart, to believe lie and be damned
and we would advise such that if they have any re-
morse OF conscience, to turn from their threats and
bloody designs and purl oses, and seek more pat
riotlc, loyal, and God fearing course.

A MILITARY EXECUTION.

lesion Courier gives the following graphic descrp-
tiun of the military execution of spy:

death than Was suffered by the culprit on that oc

named Coon Harris, about forty years of age, res
ident of Paris or Pa6ucah, and had been convicted
of being spy. As he rode by my quarters he was
seated in the box which was to serve as his coffin,
in a rude vehicle guarded by twelve soldiers, but
not the most careful observer could have discovered
any difference between him and curious by-stan-
der. Arriving at the place OF execution, which was
only quarter of mile distant he jumped lightly
from the wagon lin, cred moment to see his coffin
removed and then sauntered carelesSly down to the
tree beneath which he was to meet his late.
An officer followed him to unlock his hand cnifS,
and the two stood there moment IN conversation,
the prisoner apparently cool and unconcerned as
if he were mere spectator of the scene. His eye
was still bold and unwavering, resting now upon
the crowd, and now vacanty in the distance, as If
at times thought of the future entered his mind,
but neither cheek banched, no muscle qulvered-
The seemed made of stone. The interview
finished the last words of which were, :" die an
honest and innocent man, the officer pinioned his
arms back the faded brown coat was buttoned
across his chest and he sat down upon his coffin -
A handkerchief was then tied over his eyes, and

Even this trying moment the last that bridged the
narrow chasm between time an eternity, and earth
was forever shut from vew did he preserve his re-
markable selfpossession. Finding the bark Of the
tree somewhat rough, he occupied several seconds
in adjusting his head, one would tit himself to

forward until within ten PAGES of the culprit the
officer took his place upon the right, and in low
tone gave the order e take aim" The muskets
leveled few seconds ofterrple suspense, Frel"-
simultaneous reports-a convulsve start-a splash
of brains-a little stream or two of blood from
wounds around the heart-a falling of the head to
one side-a dropping of the lower jaw-one long
to the presence Of the Great Judge. The body was
then removed by couple of negroes and the crowd
of two or three hundred who had witnessed the
scene dispersed. All! what terrible teacher is
war! How it bunts the feelings, hardens the heart
and dries up the fountain of mercy! God grant it
may soon cease.

COL. DUNCAN X. MCRAE.

Mr. HOLDEN You have shown yourself ad-
vocate and defender OF true merit. Permit me to
say word for the Colonel of the brave sin n. c.
Regiment. This gallant officer, after a short So
jpmrn with US, left our city on Tuesday morning
last to join the remnant of his Regiment the dero-
ted 9th \. c. State troops. We are sorry to learn
that his health is not good but his spirit is buoy
ant as ever. The truth is that it is his mental af
Fiction that is preying on his body. The charge at
Williamsburg, in which so many of his brave men
were sacrificed, because not properly supported, has
so affected him to queli that proud spirit and
feeble his health. Another cause Of irritation, no
doubt, has lately been added to those enumerated.
1t is the total neglect of his claim to promotion,
have been made Brigadier Generals. When such
a, Branch, who has got himself whipped in
every battle, is persiStenty retained and Clngman,
who has never, that we know of, stood in the way
of a bullet is h Eored with a brigade, and such
man as MclIae, who has performed most gallant
feats in the war; is ordered back to the scanty rem
nant of his forlOrn and tattered Regiment we can
well understand how his sensitive spirit must feel
goaded and chafed But we hope he will take heart
and bear up under this injustice, and will remember
that grade cannot confer distinction-that though
his claims may be sghted and ignored by the De-
partment OF War, yet lie has been rewarded with
the applause and admiration Of all the country, and
that even the enemy have awarded for the banner
Of his regiment the inscription of Immortality"
We say, therefore to Col McRae, be of good cheer
get WELL get strong, and be patient. You have left
a few good officers and valiant men. With such
nucleus, and with the prestige which attaches to
the " Gallant FTfth," you will soon have corps
that you will be proud to lead, and which will glo-
ry to be led by you. S.
