in such manner as may be agreed upon by

sire that the people of North Carolina

was done in February, 1861. Such Con-

well as soldiers as all would be consulted.
But propose nothing definite and only
make these suggestions to bring the matter

earnestly appeal to the friends OF humanity
throughout the State to use their utmost
efforts to procure as speedily as possible an
homo, ubte peace In the name of reason, of
suffering humanity, and of the religion
which we profess, would | appeal to the
public men and statesmen Of North Carroll
ma, and especially 10 that eminent Statesman,
who possesses in greater degree than all
others the confidence OF the people of the
State. and who has recently been elevated
to high place in the Confederate Govern
ment. to lend a helning hand and use their
influence to bring about an honorable peace.
And, lastly, would appeal to the ministers
and professors of our holy religion to pray
constantly, without dictation of terms, to
Almighty God for an honorable peace.

the expressions of George the Third, and
had greater cause tosrebel against our gov
ernment than our fathers had to throw of
the English government He said he would
not give a hg for the Union, or a straw for
the Constitution, If these tyrannical acts Of
the Abolition Administration were to CON
tinue. Shall we submit TO these thingss any
lohger, tories of no, no.) For one | have
made up my mind will never submit. They
may lock me up in Lincoln Bastile, they
may hang me, or they may Danish me from
the country, but will never submit to these
acts of tyranny. Mr.. Provost Marshal put
that down in your book.
A Republican asked me what we propose
to do to remedy these things, I told him wo
intended to put the Black Republican party
out of power. He said when the commit.
tee of Louisiana planters waited upon Mr..
Lincoln and asked him to admit that State
back into the Union and order an election
of State officers, Mr. Lincoln said, my
Military Government shall not all ow you
to hold such election, we hold the power of
the sword, and you shall not do it." You
ask me if we shall elect Vallandigham Gov.
eruor Of Ohio how we shall get him into the
State; leave that matter to me. Governor
Tod called out the militia to pursue John
Morgan, and if l shalcallout fifty thousand
of the militia Of Ohio to bring back Val.
landigham, would not you answer the call?
Give yourselves no uneasiness on this mat
ter; will attend to that. au
Mr.. Pugh did not say single word in
condemnation of the rebellion, and the more
intelligentsof his hearers were very much
disappointed with his speech About 8
o'clock the crowd was dispersed by a fine
shower otrain, and the whole affair wound
up with number Of fights as the parties
were trying to make their way home. j

The Long Agony over.

TIE Butternut Mass Meeting--we hope
our Democratic friends will not object to
that name hereafter, as they have made
that stinkinr ree their emblem, after a
months hard drumming in Ohio, Virginia
and Pennsylyanis came off last Friday, and
was in point ofhan bers arather respectable
affair." but NOT ssflarge as we expected il
would DO, after We learned all the secession
lists of Wheeling and tho border counties Of
West Virginia we're to be here. sI, u
The characterof the hiseliig, however,
was anything but gratifying to the leaders
of the party, and its effects anything but
encouraging to the candidates on, the Val
landigham county ticket. Over tour, ffths Of
the crowd here that day were women and
children, and the entire number Of voters in
the procession was l466 by actual count,
and ofthese many werefrom West Virginia.
There was not single unadulteratsd Un-
ion banner in the procession The majority
ofthe banners carried had on them Fathers
and brothers protect US from Negro Equal
ity," "Vallandigham and Pugh," Down
with the Black Republicans" etc. ~ gov
Tho wagons were generally decorated with
Butternut bushes and the men, women and
children in them carried branches Of that
not over pleasant smelling tree in their
hands. 3..1stA4s LIZ iastt,o',
After dinner the crowd repaired to the
Fair Ground, and the principal part of them
listened to Geo. f. pugh at the main stand,
whilst Judge Thurman. talked to rather a
small audience at another stand, but the
Ohio fat girl, and the snake show man ap-
peared to be doing the, best business,
and it was difficult to tell sometimes wheth-
or they or the Democratic speakers had the
side shows, Il was said, however, that the
showmen paid the expenses Of Pqgh and
Thurman for going over the State drum-
ming up audiences for then, Of .e,ity
\ We obtained a very coed position to hear
Mr., Pugh, expecting from bis reputation
as Democratio orator we should hear q
statesmaniiss speech, but in this we were
sadly disappblatsd. Ne commenced BY arro-
gantly claiming that the country was indebt-
cd for its auccess, since the inauguration Of
Thomas JsifeIson as President Of the United
States, to the Democratic party, aud that
the country IL less than three years under
Abolition rule had become the laughing
stock Of the world. That We were suffering

R. e. Chambers a Hartford Conven'
ton Tederalfst.

Mr.. Chambers has served one session in
the Legislature, during which he made a
slight record, but one evincing clearly and
Enthusiastically his true position in sustain
ing the Government in its efforts to sup
press the rebellion First, we hear of him
making a speech against the authority oi
the Government for making military arrests
Of persons charged with giving ''aid and
comfort" to theenemy. Next ofvoting against
the bill. on its final passage, authorizing
our soldiers TO vote at all State and county
elections. But it may be said he had per-
sonal interest in each Of these subjects,
which may have influenced hisaction. Pos
sibly he had, bat would this justify his hos
tility to the soldiers? Have they forfeited
their rights to citizenship by volunteering
in the service of their country, and subject
ing themselves to all the hardships and pri-
vations of camp life, and the casualties of
the battlefield? siI,s,,
But Mr.. Chambers record does not stop
here he must, in his opposition to the war
prove himself to be Hartford Convention
Blue light Esderalist. When the Joint
Resolution Of the Senate, pledging the sup
port Of tho State to the General Government
for suppressing the rebellion, came up for
action in the House, Mr.. Otto Drsssl Of
Fanklin, offered treasonsble substisate,
which was borrowed from the platform Of
the Hartford Convention For this substi-
tute Mr.. Chambers aud nine other copper
heads voted. The balance Of tho .Demp-
Gratis either voted against it, or lodged a
vote. Tho question turning then on the
original resolutions, they were passed, Yeas

negative. We said this famous substitute

from the platform Of the Hartford Conyen-

The meeting was held in, the spacious
Fair Grounds, the inclosure being literally
packed with people. Speeches were made
from one stand by Messrs. Pugh and Stam-

The enthusiasm was indescribabie. No
