If Vance should be reelected our people may
EXPECT reign of terror in this State for the next
two years, for we have time and again heard him
abuse the Home Guard, MilitiaSQ Ulcers, Magistrates
and others, ard Insist that they ought to!be in the
army. The fact is we have rarely seen a man
so thoroughly imbued with the war spirit and so
Jealous in his desire to have everybody in the
army as Gov. Vance eve know that in his speech
es his snutty Jokes will be interspersed with fair
promises to the people, but We tell them that he
was the first man to assure Mr.. Davis officially,
that there was "discontent" and disloyalty in
North Carolina and that hence he is more largely re-
spon, IDLE than any other living in fact for the
suspension of the writ of hdJeas corpus in North
Carolina. President Da is was understood to be
opposed to the suspension until Gov Vance assured
him that Gel tain demonstrations the part of the
Conservatives Of North Carolina had to- be put
down. What we here say Is fully proven by the
letters Of Gov. Vance to the President And farth-
er than this, it is Shrewdly suspected that one
great cause Of the sudden conversion Of Gov. Vance
to DeStructiveism is certain promises that have
been made relative to the succession to the Presi-
dency-that is, that if he would promise the NOR
al support of North Carolina to certain contempa-
ted despolc measures, his claims for the PreSiden-
cy should be considered by the patriots and
property holders" Gov. Vance went over to the
Dcstructives, secretly at least eighteen months ago.
and at Wilhesboro he made, q public confession OF
the faith that was in him. We hope all true Con-
scrvstives Will let HIM go in peace.
