Resolved That as tried patriots we pledge our
unpurchaseable, allegiance to the government
and, unwilling to see farther desoiation ana sui
fering brought upon our people, we cordialiy
invite and entreat our fellow citizens throughout
the county and the State to show a hearty CO.
operation in restoring our good old State to the
Union, and peace and tranquility to govern
ment we have all sworn to support. & &
Resolved That we offer our cordial congratula-
tions to our sister States, Virginia. Louisiana and
Alabama, on their brilliant prospect of speedy
return to their former proud position in the
federal Union and hope we shall soon enroll the
name of our own beloved State as taking her
rank beside them.
Reso1oed, That commensurate with the malig-
nifty of the aIoyal Union Conservatives OF North
Carolina" is our answering trust and confidence
in the patriotism and fidelity of Hon. w. w.
Holden, and that it is our earnest desire that the
loyal Congress- of which he is a staunch support
er, would remove from him, and other gentlemen
of our party those anomalous disabilities brought
upon them by the necessities OF their condition
during the late wicked rebellion.
Resolved That all the loyal papers of the State
,be requested to publish these proceedings from
the Standard for which purpose copy is order

The Committees report having been adopted,
Committee on Nominations was appointed,
consisting of two persons from each OF the pre-

TICKETS!

Be sure to have your tickets ready
for the election!
The law provides that the words
" For Coaoention," shall be on the
ballot. 1t is better to have it on the
back, for then it can not be torn off,
The Rebels will put For q Conre,a-
tion'' and Agai,ast a Conyention' on
the face of their tickets, so as to catch
all they can for their cause; and then,
if the voter does not want to vote OH
Convention, he can tear that part off
the ticket. This is one of their tricks.
BE sawe to haze yo,r tickets ready
1t is useless to go into battle without
ammunition. The word now is, close
up, forward march, to a glorious victo-
ry. In the name of Liberty, Loyalty
and Union we shall triumph.

Sir, I fought in the quartermaster's depart
nlent and shed the last drop of my bloodlin
weighing blue beef to conscripts. But
have been whipped myself and my coiHpa-
triots That is why submit to Congress.
That is why l nominate my friend, Preston.
He is a Democrat, he is sound on the
Copperhead question, and he is in favor of
building up Selma. [Oh, there's Selma,
again, says Bill Davis. Whoora, says Sharp,
whoora for Preston If such men as Pres
ton are elected, continued Mobiles, we can
improve our town. l have lived in New
York and Warrenton and Louisburg, and
Selma will be town as large as Louisburg.
Shut up, says Bill Davis Selma on the
brain, says Waddle.] No, said Mobiles, I
am in favor of Preston. 1t will show our
Northern friends how we love them. But,
Mr.. President, Selma is growing town-it
is the only town in Johnston that has got
patent pump. [Oh lordy, says Davis. Tre-
mendous applause from Sharp.l
Mobiles sat down moment, then he felt
dry and winking at Davis they slipped out
to get drink. .-.. q.
There was another space of silence. Then
it was announced that Preston and Waddle
were nominated. Whereupon the funeral
broke up and the mourners went home.
I will state here that Jethro Thain was
fooled into the craftsmanship OF this meet
ing. He has since expressed his mind against
the whole concern.
Oh, wasn't it a failure that Conservative,
Copperhead. Dimikratik" meeting.
The Republicans will sweep Johnston, and
scatter these Conservatives like sheep.

Gov. Vance for Confiscation.

The only confscation that has taken place
in this country was set on foot by Jefferson
Davis and Gov. Vance. The latter, in one
of his messages to- the Legislature, after
stating that some of our citizens had deser-
ted to the United States, said:
L earnestly recommend that you take
such steps for the punishment of such a
crime, by confscation or otherwise, as may
deter others from such cowardly and degra-
ding treason. There should be no more tri-
fling in this matter Those who seek the aid
of our enemies should share the fate of our
enemies"
Gov. Vance and the other Rebel leaders
feel in their guilty consciences that they de-
serve confscation, and hence the charge
which they make that the Republicans are
in favor of it. -.- .. ... s-.

Gov. vance,s Speech.

We learn from various persons-white and
colored, learned and unlearned- that the
speech of Gov. Vance in fuckers Hall on
Tuesday night last, was the most disgusting
compound of treason, profanity and black
guardism ever delivered in the presence OF
decent audience. We shall not soil our COL
umns with the dirty language which we nave
heard was used. We learn that some la'AeS
were present, and that Ministers of the Cos
pei, forgetful of their high vocation, were
present. applauding especially the more pro-
fame and vulgar portions of the speech
That portly embodiment of Divinity anu
Politics, the Rev. William E. Pell, was in bis
glory; and Jonathan Worth, the rebel Gov
ernor of this State, was also present, giving
his enthusiastic sanction to the ribald utter
ances of the unwashed traitor.
The effect of the speech has been to IN
crease the fury and intolerance of traitors
and to unite more firmly our Republican
friends.

\ This Constitution is to be made for the
people. Let it then be made by men from
the great mass of the people, who are edu-
Gated and able to write q Constitution. The
great American Constitution, the Constitu-
ton of your own State was first formed,
not by willy politicians slippery, hair-split-
ting lawyers, but by honest mechanics and
Woodworking tarmers, who knew what they
needed, what they intended to fight for,
and what was good for them. They knew
it, and they wrote it down-and their sons
were ever willing to live under it, until
wicked Clcmagogucs-"s smart men" with
two grains of common sense managed to
trick them out of their birth-right.
Washington was farmer, Jefferson was a
farmer. so was Madison, Ben. Franklin was q
ment were Working-men. They made Con
situations which are the shield and protec-
ton of all true lovers of liberty. Let US,
too, try the working-men, white and colored,
and politicians the go by! History warns
us to beware OF demagogues. The expert
ence of the past warns US to beware of Sc
cessionists and those for whom seressionists
vote. They will betray US.
People of Wake County, loyal white
men, loyal colored men, lovers Of Liberty,

one man and bear these noble champions of
liberty and free government on to overwhelm-

fell spirit of disunion and slavery /; let US
drive back the cohorts OF secession, and I'M

hill top, where it shall wave forever over a
land of peace, prosperity and free govern

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING IN WAYNE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The Republicans of Wayne
County assembled at the Court House to day for
the objects set forth in the following report of
their proceedings:
On motion the meeting was called to order BY
appointing Rev. Andrew Jordan to the Chair, and
Mr.. Henry Stevens tcolored) Secretary.
On motion of Mr.. John Robinson the various
precincts were called over, and the representation
stood as follows
Dldleg-Serce Miller James Lane.
GoldSoo7o'-ReV. Ennis Nelson, Grandson Daw-
son.
Fork-Hilliard Carr Richard Whitley.
tStoeey Cfeek-Jaeob Coley, Lewis Hooks.
Aahes,tta-sherrard Higgins, Calvin Lewis.
-DGviS'-Phillip Fort.
Pkesvile-Wiiliam Hagans
Aew Hope-Smon Atkinson.
iSaulSto,t-Needham Smith,
On motion the gentlemen thus reported were
appointed Committee on Resolutions; during
which Mr.. Robinson entertained the meeting by
giving very interesting and instructive ANALYSIS
OF an article in the Semi-weekly Sentinel of 18th
current, which had accidently got into his hands,
headed "A WORD TO THE CoLORED MEN" Mr.
H. brought forward simple facts, specimens of
the instruction he was in the habit of impartng
to his colored brethren and from which he lucd-
~ and convincingly demonstrated the malicious
lying course of the "Pell- Worth Union loyal
Conservative" in OBTAINING the white men con-
nected with the U. L. A. by representing them
as giving instruction calculated to breed strife
and excite prejudice.
Among those present at the meeting were Rev.
z. j.. Nelson, Jesse w. Edmundson, ESQ.,, Mr..
itoHo"ell, " u u, ana OLners, WnOm, as ScnSl-
bic men, we leave to draw their own conclusions.
The Chairman then addressed the meeting at
considerable length, humorously, exhortatively,
and pathetically, eliciting frequent bursts of APP
plause,
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Jordan's remarks
had not been reported at length. We had no idea
that he was possessed of such fund of sarcastic
humor
On the Committees return they reported the
following resolutions:
WHEREAS, At the late Republican mass meet
ing held in the Town hall, the Committee ap.
pointed to nominate candidates as delegates to
the State Constitutional Convention was most
unwarrantedly and unlawfully intruded upon by
j. E. O'Hara, who hectored the Committee into
aequiescence in the nomination of his candidate
H. L. Grant, gentleman not only not known as
n Republican, but strongly suspected of being g
Copperhead, and at most not known to our PEG
pie generally, nor in any wise deserving our sup
port; be it, therefore, f. 49,
= ReSOoed, That in consequence of the facts stat
ed in the above preamble, we, the Republican
citizens of Wayne county in mass meeting assem-
bled, do hereby pronounce the entire action O
til meeting of 10th current null and void.
Besolyed, That Committee on Nominations b
app Ointed, and that the following list of names
be nut before that Committee, from whom t.
make their selection, viz: Jesse Hollowell
Thorn o. Anderson Deans, Jonathan Pearson

Purge the Lists |!

We invite the attention of our reades to
the Circular of Gen. Candy in our paper to-
day, prescribing rules for revising the lists
of voters. These rules are good. They are
based upon principles of the highest and
strictest loyalty; and We trust every Regis.
trar will do has duty fearlessly and
promptly. .,e,
We want no persecution or prescription,
but simply that the law be executed. Let
loyal men every where see that the lists are
purged of unworthy voters. Challenge every
doubtful case, and call on the Registrars te
} apply the rules laid by the General and the
4 law of Congress. s4

Freedom against Slavery.

After all, the contest now going on in this
State is between Freedom and Slavery.
We heard, day or two since, of a Con-
sentative who honestly admitted that he
would re-establish slavery if he could. We
respect him for his candor, but we detest his
principles. He is fatally mistaken. His
policy would keep the country in perpetual,
bloody war.
If the Democrats only had complete sway
in this country they would soon have slave
ry again. That is their great object in OPP
posing reconstruction.

]. beware Of False prophet,.,,

The secession leaders told us in1 $50 tbsro
would be no war They then told US, after
the war commenced, that We should soon
have peace with independence" This wac
favorite expression with Judge Fowe in
1864, when he ran for the House of Com
mons on the bloody ticket with Gov. Vance
- Fight on, my countrymen," said he, "for
before the leaves shall fall you will have
peace with independence. :" & Fight on, bows
till hell freezes over, and then fight upon the
ice," was the response of Gov. Vance. But
they were subjugated, as We knew they
would be, and, apparently, they collapsed
The snakes went into winter quarters, be.
came torpid, and nursed their poison.
At length they came out and promised the
people that if they would reject the Presi.
dents plan of restoration they would get
better terms. They wanted the terms agreed
upon by Sherman and Johnston, by which
the State would have gone back rebel end
foremost, with no security for the loyal, and
ernmcnt for the real friends of the Union
The people took their advice and rejected
the Presidents plan. The next offer was the
Howard amendment They told the people
not to think of taking that. They urged
them to reject it, and they would be sure to
get better terms. The people again listened
to them, and rejected the Howard amend
ment. Tennessee had gone back by accept
ing that amendment; but these false propb-
cts oe secession did not want to 90 back to
the Union, and so they induced the people
to reject the amendment.
Now we have before us the reconstruction
acts of Congress, and again these false
prophets come forward to advise the people.
They tell them, as they told them before,
that by rejecting these terms they can get
better terms; that change will occur bv
which the Democrats will get power, repea,
the reconstruction acts, and let the State 90
back on the terms laid down by Sherman
and Johnston; that We shall have the old
Constitution, pay for our slaves, &c, &c.
Will the people listen longer to these false
prophets? If they do, no one can foresee
the result. One thing We know, and that is,
the terms have become harder and harder
every time the overtures have been rejected.
Let the people think of these things. Let
them use their good common sense, without
prejudice or passion, for their own welfare
and that of their children.

Not National, but Sectional.

The old copperhead Democratic party of
the North ind the so-called Conservatives of
the South ar one and the same in their pur-
poses, but they do not constitute national
party. They have no common, national Or
ganizatjon. Tell Conservative, so-caled,
that he is a Democrat, and ten to one he will
resent it and say it is not so. Tell North
ern Democrat he is Conservative and in
sympathy with secessl0nists, and ten to one
he will resent it, and draw himself up and
proudly say, " Sir, am Democrat" Is
Frank Pierce Sou thern secessionist or Con-
servative, so-calledg No. Is William E.
Pell Democratic No. He hates the very
name. fsr ta ---r
We have had quite enough of sectional
parties. They have already ruined the
country. Let us in future be done with
them They can do no good, bat infinite
harm. Let us be national in our sentiments
and action. In no other way can we restore
the Union and bring peace to our people
We have been on the sectional war path fol
the last seven years. Let US leave this path
at once, and walk henceforth in the paths o.
nationality and peace.

BEAR IN MIND,

That the election for delegates to a
Convention, and the vote for and
against Convention, will take place
in North-Carolina on Tuesday and
Wednesday the 10Th and Goth days
OF November. Let every Republican,

times turn out and vote, in the first
place for Convention, and then for

The Progress refers to paper or document
signed by DIR. III. G. Vogel, of the Freed
mems Bureau, in this City, advising the COL
ored people to trade with certain merchants
in this place. Such paper exists. We
propose at present to say nothing more than
this:
1st We believe in Free Trade and Sail
or's Rights" We would first stand by our
open and a0oa0ed friends, all other things be-
ing equal we would then trade where we
could get the best bargains. We would not
prescribe a merchant or shopkeeper on &C
count of his politics, provided he treated us
courteously and Justly. Open and unoaced
Republicans among merchants and shop
keepers at this time are very scarce, but
they will be numerous enough six months
hence.
End. The colored people of Raleigh and
Wake County are not sucn childrena as to re-
quire to be told where to trade And, without
| intending to reflect to the slightest extent Oh
the merchants designated, or on any of our
merchants, it seems to US that it was especi
| ally invitlious and unkind in this officer OF
the Bureau not to mention as worthy OF
patronage, the colored shopkeepers of the
City.
Sd The officer of the Bureau referred to
does not speak for the Republican party {;
and the party, therefore, should not be held
responsible for any feeling that has grown
out of this matter. especially as none of the
parties recommended by this officer are
knO1on as Republicans
