Every dollar of the debt created to aid the
rebellion against the United States should
he repusliated finally and forever. The great
mass of the people should not be taxed to
pay debt to aid in carrying on rebellion
which they in fact, ifcrt to themselves, were
opposed to. Let those who have given their
means for the obligations of the State look
to that power they tried to establish in vio-
lation of law. constitution, and will of the
people. They must meet their fate. 1t is
their misfortune. and cannot he recognized
by the people of any State protesting them
selves l0val to the government of the United
States and in the Union. l repeat that the
loyal people of North Carolina should be ex-
onerated from the payment of every dollar
of Indebtedness created to aid in carrying on
the rebellion l trust and hope that the peo-
pie of North Carolina will wash their hands
of everything that partakes in the slightest
degree OF the rebellion, which has been so
recently crushed Iy the strong arm of the

To THE PRESIDENT:
SIR: In reply to- your despatch of Au-
gust 22d, l have the honor to state in no in
stance in making appointments to office, or
in recommending for appointment have I
shown any preference for persons who have
participated in the rebellion; the con-
trary, have been very careful to prefer and
to appoint persons who were original Union
men, and persons who were in favor of re-
storing the authority of the federal govern
ment Doubtless in many appointments
(some four thousand) some have been ap-
pointed who ought not to have been and in
some cas,s even friends have misletl, to some
slight extent, hy their recommendations :;
but. upon the whole, only loyal Union men
have been appointed and recommended at
Washin rton. 1t is my purpose and wish to
encourage and strengthen those who have
never ut heart faltered in tlieil allegiance to
the federal government. l have proceeded
deliberately and carefully in the work of res
toration, and thus far am sure there are
no grounds for apprehending that North
Carolinr will not present an acceptable con-
stitution. The great body of her people are
loyal and submissive to national authority.
I know there are malcontents. radicals. and
not good men, who are engaged in Inisrepre-
scnting facts. and tnmentinG strife for GER
tain purposes: hut none of these things move
me in the performance of duty.

Information comes to me that reports are
freely circulating in influential quarters and

lated to do harm, to the effect that in ap-
pointments to office. and in the recommen-
dations for appointments, the true Union
men are totally ignored, and the provision Il
governors are giving decided preference to-
those who have participated in the rebellion.
The object of such representations is to en-
barrass the government in its reconstruction

statements, feel it due to you to advise you
of the extended circulation they have gained,
and to impress upon you the importance of
encouraging and strengthening to the fullest

i've in Congress from this District. and ask
ng my opinion as to his eligibility, the
.lDuIt arising from his not having vet re-
.eived the pardon of the President, has been

or authority that can require any Others. l
have recently endeavOrcd to demonstrate this
in il paper published in the Raleigh Sentinel
of this date. As to pardon. presume it
is only necessary that the President shall
have leisure to consider the case of Mr. Turn
er to obtain that. Certainly no citizen of
this State has shown more vigorous opposi-
ton to the whole secession movement. or
conducted himself in more manly and pa
triotic manner throughout the war. / have

cral Hampton, unpardoned, was elected to

~. unpar'loned. was elected to our Conven-
zion. No other Governor received orders
that unpardnned persons were ineligible.-
low does it happen that our Governor re
eived instructions not given to other Gov
rnors? How does it happen that no other
Governor or Convention received instructions
hat we must repudiate the war debt :? We
IRE not advocating the payment of the war
" any other debt. If, however, the people
"f North Carolina wish to pay the war debt,
,'r any other debt. they will do it. and whose
business is it but theirs?
