past-not in vengeance, but with spirit to
right your wrongs, for the hour approaches
when you can fling tie shaekles from your
limbs forever Remember, the Republican
party is youi' friend and champion. May
you be wise for yourselves and your chill
drenin your day and generation. S..
Laboris honorable. Those who labor to
improve and build up the country should
control the government of the country. Re
member, honest sons of toll, that your des-
TIMES are now in your own hands, Be wise
and firm. Insist upon all your rights, and
you will obtain them. The State is about to
make new start in the race of progress
Let us resolve that honest LABOR shall lie at
the helm, and that the sons of toll shall not
be sighted, ignored and oppressed as they
have heretofore been in North Carolina.
Toll swings the axe. and forests bow;
The seeds break forth in radiant bloom;
Rich harvests smile behind the pillow,
| And cities cluster round the loom dr.
Where tottcring domcs and tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill, As
Stout Labor lights its beacon fires,
And plumes with smoke the forge and mill.
The monarch oak, the woodlands pride,
! Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide ~
And there unrolls the flag Of stars:
The engine with its lungs of fame,
And ribs Of brass and joints of steel,
From Labors plastic fingers came
With sobbing valve and whirling wheel. i
IT'S Labor works the magic press,
And turns the crank in hives Of toll,
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and soil.
Here sunbrowned Toll, with shining spade,
Links lake to lake with silver ties, q
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies! p s,45i
The fiat, apparently, has gone forth that
these States must be Radicalized and Atri-
canized, by fair means or FOUL Sentinel. ~
Well, yes. We rather think these States
will be Rspu5lieanised, and thus restored to
the Union. They have been secessionised
long enough, in all conscience.
The means will befair, and not foul Every
registered voter will be allowed to vote. :
There will he yellow tickets, as in 1854
No man will be handcufed, or bucked, OF
sent to the front to be killed in battle, as
they were in 1854, for voting their honest
sentiments. Even the Senior Editor ot the
/ Sentinel, as unworthy as he is Of the privilege
may go to the polls in peace and put in hi
ballot, and no man will modest or make hin
afraid. s. 4 .ia1s Ai n ~
| Yes, we are going to take the State bach
to the Union. We intend to do this decent
ly, on sound principles. We intend to do il
SO well that it Con not be undone Mr. Pell
and other pious worthless, who have been liv
ing for the last two years on tile Fedora
crib, as they lived four years previously OF
the Confederate crib, may as well prepare t.
retire. Their doom Is sealed It will bs
many a long day before such unproftabl,
and wicked stewards are allowed to havs
control in the public household. The nics
young men who have been living on the pub
lie patronage. and at the same time abusing
and slandering our loyal people, may pre-
pare to dig for their victuals and clothes
and Mr.. Pell may be driven once more to tn,
pulpit for his daily bread. We know thi'
will be great hardship for this portIy saint
but if the Lord should not call him again Il
the ministry an indignant people will driv'
i him to it or something else. Squeal h
never SO much, he must let go the public
