TO THE CONSERVATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL
ross Union MEN OF WAKE COUNTY.

The undersigned, cltlZenS OF wake COun-
ty, friends of the American Union and sup
porters of the Constitution OF the United
States, being convinced that the incorpora-
tion of the Brownlow-H Holden Radical pro-
gramme into the Constitution of the State
would most surely embarrass, if not annihi-
late, all enterprise and all hope of recupera-
ton, and would discourage all immigration,
the investment of capital, and diminish or
destroy the sources of employment to our u
boring population, do most earnestly lmplore
all Conservative citizens of every County in
the State, to hold meetings for the adoption
of such plans as they may deem wisest and
pest, for uniting and consolidating the Con-
servative influence in the State, to effective
ly prevent the success of ultra Republican
or Radical rule in our State organization.
The Congress of the United States has cut us
off from all participation at present in ma
tional politics. Nothing is left US but the
care of our State institutions, and this move
ment has nothing to do with National poll
tics or with hindering or attempting to OBJ
struct the operation of any law of Congress.
1t has simple reference only to the prevent
ing of the incorporation of those Radical
principles and measures into our State organ
ization, which would place the control and
government of the State in the hands of the
ignorant, the vicious and the most unprinci-
Piled among us, which would certainly re-
suit in the destruction of the enterprise and
! vitality of the State All the aid or en-
couragement. therefore, which this move
ment could give to the friends of Constitu-
tional liberty and free government, else
where, would be simply incidental. .
We, therefore, urge all Conservative Con-
stitutional Union men of the County OF
Wake, holding these views, to unite with us
in holding meeting at the Courthouse in
this city, on Friday evening, the 9th of the
present month, at half past O'Clock, to eff
feet the above. named object, and we urge
our fellow-citizens of the several registration
precincts in the County to unite with us, or
hold meetings in their several precincts.

The above is a CALL gotten up and circu-
lated by the Rev. William E. Pel, fora reb-
ell meeting to be held in this City on Friday
night next. This call is based on false pre-
tences, and those who signed it deliberately
have made themselves parties to these false
pretences These people have assumed that
there is " Brownlow- Holden Radical pro-
grammep in existence, to be forced on the
people of this State. Therefore they have
signed this paper, and called this meeting
In reply, We say GOV. BrownIow has no per-
sonal connection with the politics of this
State; and Holden is bound by and stands
upon the platform laid down By, the Sep
tember Republican Convention. If I" Radi-
cal principles and measures should be g in
corporated into our State organization" las
they certainly must be, or the State can ney-
er be restored to the Union-this will be the
work, not Of BrowDlow or Holden, but of
tue loyal people of 'sthe State. 1tis, there
lore, disingenuoaa and cowardly to charge
measures and roc,,ffo m o,,a o,oc uolJo.
