The Editor of the Greensboro Patriot calling on.
the people to vote for Gov. Vance and follow the
advice of Gov. Brown and Alex Il. Stephens,
when he persistentS refuses to publish tho speech

His well known fact that tho people Of North.
Carolina would nsoer have known the views and
opinions Of these great statesmen but for Mr. Hol-
den and his friends, who entertain the same opin-
ions with Messrs. Stephens and Brown, and conse-

views, and actually published tens Of thousands of
documents containing the speech and message and.
