your friend. AS you value your dearesti
rights, stand y that party. Tell these Sc
cession leaders you will do any thing else
for them, but you can not vote away your
ood-bought liberties. Ifthey tempt you
by nffers of money or work, spurn their
offers. They have. tried to buy James H.
Harris and Others, but they failed. Such
men are unpurchasable. Tell them you are
poor, but there is not money enough in the
world to buy your freedom. Stand BY your
real friends, poll every vote, and VIC will
soon be out of all our troubles safely moored
in the harbor Of Peace, Justice and Loyalty.
Better to suffer now even the loss Of money
and employment than to lose your liberties

The Alabama Reconstruction Convention
yesterday passed a resolution to inetBosialize
Congress tt,femnve the political disabilities
of all who materially aided reconstruction
Congress will undoubtedly be ready to take
this matter into favorable consideration. -

This is proper and timely movement. =.
There are hundreds Of good and trne Re
publicans in NofthaC Carolina who onght to
be relieved Of the disability imposed by the
Constitutional Amendment, But It should
be shown in every case that they have ma
terially aided reconstruction. = Relief in
such cases as may be presented sfter due
considerations by the Republican members
of our approaching Constitutional Cnnyen-
tion, would be alike Just and appropriate.
and would at once add mucllit0 the Repub-
lican party but indiscriminatc relief tO
nialcontents, rebels, and opponents of recon
struction. with loyal Republicans who are
simply technically banned by tho amend
ment, would not only be very bad policy IN
itself, bat would be harsh reflection, on ths
loyal men themselves. Where there is nc
repentance there can be no pardon, Bul
those who earn relief by giving "materia
aid to reconstruction" no matter what theil
record may have been. are entitled to relief
and will no doubt Obtain it in due time.
Gen. Fowle and his friends in this Coun

out the State, are begging the colored peo
pie to vote with them. Will these gentle
men be good enough to tell theAcolored peo
pie why it is they have uniformly refused t.
act with them in their public meetings A
great many Conservative meetings have beer
hela, and not the first colored man has beer
asked to take part in them. Many Conserv
ative candidates have been nominated. bu
they are all cbite. Will Gen.. Fowlc ex
plain this ? If he is ashamed or too prout
to sitin public meetings with colored mel

colored men will return the compliment b.

We learn that Gen. Fowle ansuered Nj
Bakers Raleigh speech at Eagle Rock
that is, he attempted to work on the pas
sions of the people by appeals against Noi
thcrn men. The General placed himself ut
safe distance from Mr.. Baker before he al
tempted areply to his speech. He complain
that Mr.. Baker came down here. unaskcd, t
"teach" our people. The General forget
that both his organs in Raleigh, the Sentine
and, Progress, urged the people to turn on
to hear Mr.. Baker. They did turn out il
large numbers, and We are grati6cd to stat
what Gen. Fowle knows and feels -tha
his speech was well received by every dispas
