Money at Work.

We learn that the camps are flooded with copies
of infamous paper published in this City, called
the State Journal; and the Register is furnishing
Johnston tickets gratis. Mr.. Johnstons money is
at work against the freedom of elections. He is a
wealthy man. No doubt the fund made up for the
presses referred to, was contributed by Mr.. john
ston and the Stafeds Of this place.
The Register of the 10th sneered at Col. Vance
on account of his moderate means, and SAID in sub
stance that as he is not rich, as Mr. Johnston is, he
mad never shown that financial ability" which
Mr.. Johnston has. Col Vance is not fit for Gov
ernor, because he is not rich man That is the
argument What do the people think of it? The
Register thus shows its opposition to free govern
ment by sneering at candidate for Office who has
only competency; for if 'Oeatth is to be qualif-
cation for office only the rich would be elected
Such test would delight the Register. The Editor
of that journal is never so happy as when he is
deerring to rich people, no matter how their wealth
was acquired. A poor man. or man of moderate
means, like COL Vance, he has special aversion for.
Mr. Syme need not say he does this work for
nothing for he distinctly stated in his paper short
time since that he did nothing without being paid
for it. Depend upon it. fellow citizens, Mr.. john
ston's money is at work Col. Vance depends for
his success the justice of his cause, and on his
own character, and not on money, or what money
can do.

Martial Law.

The Constitution secures to each citizen the right
of trial by jGry--the right Of indictment or pre-
sentiment by Grand Jury before trial, land the
right to the writ of Habeas Corpus that is the right
when imprisoned, to be carried before civil Judge
to have the cause of imprisonment enqured into,
and to be discharged bail if the offence be bail
able one, to be discharged without bail if there
be no evidence against him. These arc great and
important privileges, and that system of govern.
ment which deprives the citizen of them, becomes
a despotism.
Martial IGU at one blow destroys all these rights.
1t is the pOIcer clothed in all its harshness
and tyranny. The will Of the Military Governor or
Provost Marshall becomes the law by which every
thing is governed. Every mans character, liberty
and life are at his mercy. The civil law with all its
safeguards is swept away. 1t becomes impotent,
and the provision of the Constitution that "the
military shall be subordinate to the civil power is
made dead letter. This is military despotism,
and the very worst and most degrading system of mil
itary despotism and he who favors its establish
ment over any part of country, without its be-
ing necessary for the very existence of society," is
not worthy to be trusted by free people. He is
enemy to the people-an enemy to civil Gberty-an
enemy to the Constituton-and a friend to military
despotism!
Nou, keep it before the people, that Captain Mo-
ses A. Bledsoe was in favor Of establishing this
tal law over Raleigh and ten miles round about the
City-that he used his whole energies to fix this
tyrannical system on the people whose votes he is
now soliciting. There no earthly necessity for
its establishment people. They were as
orderly as any in the Confederate States. They
were as loyal any, The very proposition TO place
them under martial law an insult to them and
there is no wonder that their indignation rose to
such pitch, when Captain Bledsoe insisted that
they deserved to be placed under the tyranny of
petty Military Governor, whose DiU was to rule
Them and from whom they were to procure a pass
like negro SLAVE before they could leave the City,
even on visit to their friends in the country We
have not told half the terrors of this odous despot

anecdote Of lady living in Williamson county,

As the story runs, some half dozen Federal officers
rode up to her house one evening and asked TO be

Keen it before the Peopla.

That Moses A. Bledsoe, the Stalled candidate for
the Senate in Wake, advocated martial law over his
f.llew-cizens ofRalegh and over his fellowcitizens
for ten miles around Raleigh when there was ne
cessity for it, and that in meeting of his own neigh
bors on the subject he was voted down by major
ity of ten to one. When mans own neighbors
condemn him, what are strangers to think?
Keep it before the People, That Moses A. Bled-
soc advocated the black flag in the present war;
The black flag means no quarter and no mercy to a
fallen foe. Under it We might kill few more
Yankees than we do in a civilized manner, but such
a flag would expose our brave boys to be butchered
after they had surrendered, or offered to surrender
And to crown this extraordinary proposition, Mr.
Biedsoe did not propose to fight the Yankees him.
SELF but sat in the shade, in snug Office, and said
go boys" instead of come boys"
Keep it before the People, That Moses A. Bled
soc, after having agreed not to electoneer nor to
canvass the County, nor to publish any circular
has broken his agreement by furnishing James Ad-
ANS Esq. with circulars to distribute in which his
competitor, Col. Russ, is grossly assailed that Mr.
BledSoe has recommended the canvas, thereby ex-
citing party feeling; and that his excuse for this is
in circular against the circular referred to, has
broken the agreement! Was such thing ever
heard of before in political campaigning? Mr. Bled
soc first breaks the agreement and then charges
that his competitor has broken it.
People of Wake! go to the polls and vote him
down. He has grown fat in Office, and forgotten
the neighbors aad friends who made him what he
is. If elected, we give it as our opinion that he
will reflect the views of the Clark, Martin, and
Johnston dynasty more than he will those of
the people of the County; and his conduct will
has shown that if he had the power he would d.
rect the black flag 20 be raised and would bring us
all, from mere whim or impulse, from a dspo
stion to play the tyrant and to punish his oppo-
nents, under the iron heel of martial law.
Remember these things at the polls.

produce in Wake County. We do not characterize
his conduct in breaking his agreement with Col.
Russ-we leave that to the people. We merely
state the fact as it exists That fact is so plain that
it requires no argument to prove it.
The Conservative and Reform ticket was first in
the field. The gentlemen composing this ticket arc
admitted by all respectable and sane persons, to be
loysl to the South. They quite as intelligent,
and quite as able to the people of the County
acceptably, as the Bledsoe ticket. Why then, are
they opposed by the Bledsoe ticket? Who is to
blame for the party strife which exists? Let all
candid persons answer.

about as long the letter ITSELF in which, as the
Fayetteville Observer says, there is not one word
Of appreciation of the truly patriotic sentiments of

what does the Journal care about these things? Its
