by the Convention and ordered to be
: omitted to them at the polls.
We have seen no good reason advanced by
ov Worth's partizans, why he should not
opposed in the next gubernatorial contest.
ut he himself did not violate last Autumn.
3D. when candidate for such high
,sition presents himself for reelection, it is
ual to enquire whether he has fulfilled the
edges made to the people, and whether the
terests of the State, during his administra-
on, have been advanced or retarded. 1t
,es not appear that Gov. Worth will escape
lis ordeal. -... ...-.-.. ..--...fs
If Gov. Worth was elected in the expecta-
ON that his abilities would materially aid
,e President in carrying out his plan to the
scomfiture of the radicals, most wofully
I'VE the people been deceived. If Gov
rorth was run by political leaders in order
prevent restoration, by forcing upon the
orthern people an unacceptable man, thus
;cluding North Carolina from the Union
I'd keeping up the rebellion, most happily
Il they succeed and most wofully were the
.ople again deceived. If Gov. Worth was
ected to secure Gov. Graham's pardon, he
Is failed. If he has suggested any plan for
e relief of the people, his organ does not
EN- to know it. If he has managed to
cure to North Carolina the benefits belong
g to her from the Conservative position of
r. people before and during the war, it is
1t apparent by anything said or done at
-ashington. Indeed, it seems that we are to
fed from. the same spoon that South Caro-
Ia and Mississippi are fed from. Such
eatment is repugnant to the feelings of our
,ople, and is exceedingly unjust to them
nd though they have an Executive who
aims to be Union man, yet he is without
fuence at Washington to prevent it.
We do not see, therefore, that Gov. Worth
IS any peculiar claims upon the people
hey have honored him once and there are
hers, who have been better Confederates
I'd fought harder than Gov. Worth, if the
,ople are disposed to choose such men. If
cause a man was true to the Confederacy
om the first to the last he will now be true
the Union and more true than any other
sn-if this test be the true one, and it has
en- contended by Gov. Worth's friends that
is, then Gen. Ransom, or many other
:rsons we might mention, as far surpass
ov. Worth in loyalty as the sun exceeds the
Don in lustre. We say this in all due de-
renee to Gov Worth.
Political harmony has never been restored
this State since last Autumn. Men are
instantly being turned out of Office for poll
cal opinions, and others, who were removed
r fragrant disloyalty to the government
stored. Mr.. Thomas, President of the
tlantic and North Carolina railroad, has
en removed and Mr. Whitford substituted
Gov. Worth's direction. Hon. B. F.
core was removed from the Presidency of
':e Bank of the State and Mr.. G. w. Nor
icai restored. These things do not tend to
lay political excitement, but indicate an
.;iberal, unforgiving spirit on the part of the
Xecutiye.
We are frequently asked if there will be
position. No one desires to see heated
,litical contest, and it has been hoped that
could be avoided. But those "who SOW
,e wind reap the whirlwind." The day of
cotton is yet long ways off, and Gov.
orth is making rapid strides in an illiberal,
rogant policy; every day shows more
iainly to the people his lack of influence at
ashington he seems to be an instrument in
hands of others; and perhaps the reason
ivanced by himself last Autumn when he
id, in his circular, that he could see no
ason why Congress or the President should
l.. hi, fa1 n of
ORTIZ Carolina, may yet be turned against
m, with fatal effect, by some more able and
tive man.
We can see no reason why there should not
opposition to Gov. Worth, nor do we see
hear anything from him or his organ likely
prevent it. There is nothing of concil-
ting nature but words, and no man of sense
CT tackled his faith to empty promises
esides there are other points. Where do
now stand2 Is the Freedmen's bureau
moved? Are Gov. Worth and his civil
ibunals yet placed above the military q
oes the President grant pardons with
ee hand to North arolinians Has the
cate taken that high stand at Washington,
hich it was fondly hoped she would do
ON the Conservative sentiments of her peo-
:e before and during the war 2 And then
,mes the further question, is there not a
.medy? There used to be remedy for
ills in former days at the ballot box. Why
ot apply it MOVIE

The object of the Society, as expressed in

one shall be excluded on account of color
