MORE 0PPREssIoN.-Mr. John B. Drake, an infirm
old man. citizen of Chatham, informs US that he has
been deprived of his rations by the Destructive
committee Of his neighborhood, because he will
not vote for Vance Mr.. Drake has two sons in the
war.
We learn that in many localities government
officers and others are endeaVoring to force Vance
tickets on employees and detailed men.
Such are some of the means employed to coerce
the people out Of their votes.
Gov. Vance set the example himself, by spotting
men engaged in State business for being against
him, and by ordering them to be discharged and
turned over to Camp Holmes. This was done in
Raleigh, and the fact is we'll known here. The
Governor or the employer who is not willing that
shall vote they please, but who endeavOrs to
force them to vote a certain way, is a tyrant, and
does not deserve to br saths the air of free coun
try. Such people ought to emgrate at once to
Austria or Russia.

TIE RICHMOND EXAMINES LECTURES OUR PEoPLE-
We observe that the Confederate, Salisbury Watch
man. and other Destructive journals in the support
of Gov Vance, are copying with much gusto an ar
ticle from the Richmond Examiner in which that
journal lectures our people at length to how they
should vote. The Examiner on this, as on former
occasions, shows q thorough ignorance of the is
sues before our people well as of the character
Of our people themselves. Speaking of the Con-
servAtive or peace candidates in this State the Es
aminer says, "tbere must be more than an average
proportion Of simple and credulous people IN that
State, to make such arguments, such newspapers,
and such q candidate, even possible" Indeed, the
whole article is q reflection on the intelligence and
patriotism of our people. Much of it is very SIM
liar in tone and language to Gov. Vance's stump
harangues The Examiner is, of course, very anx-
ious for the re election of Gov Vance, and is much
concerned that so many "simpe and credulous peo-
pie" should be opposed to him. Two years ago
the Virginia papers opposed Col. Vance and more
than lntmAted that his supporters were LlncolniteS
and traitors; but now they support him and sIeak
of his opponent as Gov. Vance himself does, as the
candidate of deserters and tories. Many of our
people 90 to Richmond to fight and to keep the
enemy from swapping up such useless specimens Of
humanity as the Editor of the ErGnainsr, for in
saving the City they are obliged to save him; but
they not going to that City for advice as to how
to vote in their own elections His comments on
North Carolina politics show bis ignorance of them,
Ills advice is impertinent and his reflections the
loyalty and intelligence of our people regarded
with contempt The only consolation We can offer
him is the assurance that his pet candidate Gov.
Vance, will De defeated and the ''simple and cred
ulous" folks to whom he refers will control their
own affairs to SUIT themselves. Virginia secession

and he is a very moral, upright citizen, and high

"square and plumb" he IS a self made man, and
deserves credit for his success in life If elected
he will make faithful member, and if he should

McRae dilates at some length on his reasons for not
meeting Mr.. Settle in debate which he was certain
ly bound 20 do after the allusion which he had

the Colonel feels that his cause is so weak and Mr.
Settles cause so strong, that he is afraid to meet

want your votes. The law Of the State provides
