REPUBLICAN MEETING IN IREDELL COUNTy

On Saturday the 14th of Sept. 1867. a
goodly number of the loyal people of Ire
dell, met at Old Lebanon, ten miles north OF
Statesyile. ..
On motion, J. G.. Sloan was appointed
Chairman, Robert johnson, Jery Boles
Burgess White, Williamson johnson. Milton
Templeton, jeremiah Sloan, and John Nc
Cleland, committee to draft resolutions
and j. NJ. Shaver, Secretary.
Wm 4. Gray then arose and addressed the
audience about an hour and half He spoke
IN nigh terms OF General Sickles for prohib-
ing the meeting of the Legislature. lie also
spoke in high terms of the Heroes of Amer
lea and Union League, and cautioned them
to be careful how they cast their votes in the
approaching election. In short he made an
eXcellent speech Notwithstanding he was in
terTupted by group of unprncipled, ungen-
teel, unlntelligent, infamous rebels.
we feel very safe in saying to the loval
people OF lredell, when the time comes to
cast your votes, if VIM. F. Gray is in the
field, cast your votes ON him, for he is the
boldest defender of the rights of Republi-
cans that we have in the County. He is a
perfect giant in the cause.
The following resolutions we're then pre-
sented and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We as loyal body were oppo-
seq to the late rebellion and dissolution of
TINS once glorious and happy government,
ana always looked upon treason as the most
INFAMOUS and Infamous OF crimes that we
mold and still hold that the government of
the United States, is and ever has been. our
best protector and supporter, and as we were
ana are still denounced as tories and traitors
to our country by rebels therefore. be it
l. Res0t0ed, That loyal and law-abi
ding people, we are not willing that any man
who voluntarily engaged in the rebellion
should rule over US or have any hand in re-
building the government of the United States
or of this State.
2. That we do not acknowledge that the
term tory IS in any wise applicable to US. but
as the word is applicable to a person that
advocates kingly power, we think that the
rebels are the very identical persons and as
proof that they favor usurpation, we call
attention first, to CONSUMPTION; secondly. to
the twenty negro law, and thirdly, to the
tlthlng law, the most corrupt thing the world
pas ever produced, demanding the tenth part
OF the poor womans hard earnings while her
husband was away from home fighting for
the so-called Confederacy.
.. That we have lost all hope and conf
dence in obtaining justice at the hands of
our present leading men in power in this
stare, for we believe that majority of our
eadlng men are more disloyal now than DID,
ing the rebellion, and we are not WILLING TO
'e governed by men who have looked OF, us
vita contempt and sneered at us with dia-
'ust for the lastseven years. - = '''s

and were instrumental in the hands of an
All-Wise Being in bringing back the old stars

5. That in our judgment these men have
made to themselves name that will carry
/ them above all the taunts that may be
thrown at them by rebels, by calling them
tories, horse thieves, &C., and that they have
reared to themselves monument as lasting
as the Union itself
g. That although the war has resulted in a
great loss of property to the rebels, and the
Union men not exempted, We are not respon-
sible for one dollar of it, but that the rebels
are responsible for every dollar that has been
sacrificed and every life that has been lost,

were to be slaves forever.
s. That we look upon Abraham Lincoln
as having been one of the greatest men the

he advanced steadily from one degree of

millions of human beings from the worst
state of degradation the world has ever
known.
8. That we heartily approve of the wise
course pursued by the 10th Congress, and
cheerfully submit to that body as the ruling
power of the nation. and that we look to
that body only for relief and protection.
10. That we desire as soon as practicable
all offices held by rebels be vacated, so that
none but loyal men be permitted to partici-

in its return to the United States
II. That we are firmly resolved net to
cease in our efforts until we have thoroughly
eradicated-the elements of disloyalty from

March the 9th, 1867, and that we will not
support any man, white or black for any of

COLONEL FoRNEY's LETTERS FROM

inquiries and requests respecting the publ
cation of the above letters in a collective
form, we have again to state that they will
be issued in handsome 12mo volume of
about five hundred pages, with portrait fine
ly engraved on steel, and index, by T. B.
Peterson 6 Brothers, of this city In the
course of next month this publication will

authors impressions of various countries
which he visited during an European tour
of several months, with observations upon
society, politics, amusements, manufactures
educational and religious institutions in
England, France. Switzerland, Germany,
Belgium, and Holland. The variety of
these letters may be judged from the fact
that they were written from London, Liver
pool, Oxford, Windsor, Halifax, Stratford-
upon-Ayon, Chester, Paris. Berne, Lake Le-

To the Voters Of tue United States.
In this hour of National Reconstruction
we appeal to good men of all parties, to
Conventions for amending State Constitu-
lions to the Legislature OF every State, and
to the Congress Of the United States, to ap-
ply the principles of the Declaration of In
dependence to Women.
Governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed" The
only form of consent recognized under a
Republic is Suffrage. Mere tacit acquies-
cence is not consent if it were, every
despotlsm might claim that its power is
Justly held. Suffrage is the right of every
adult Citizen, irrespective of Sex or Color.
Women are governed therefore they are
righttully entitled to vote.
The problem of American craftsmanship
is, how to incorporate in our institutions a.
guarantee OF the rights of every Individual.
The solution is easy. Base government on

| FELLOW CITIZENS AS one of the repre-
sentatives of tine Republican party of North

ecutive Committee for the 9th Congressional
District. l take this opportunity to address
you short letter, upon matters of the great
est Importance to your future welfare.
| We, tellow-citzens, have been newly en-
franchlsed, and 1T is our duty to stand by
the friends of the United States government
who are the loyal people in North-C Carolina.
Without regard to race or color these loyal
people have formed party, known as the
Republican party. 1t Is pledged to stand
by the great principles OF Union, Liberty,
Justice and Equality. The man that Opposes
this party, opposes these principles, and

to the government, the loyal white or the
cOlUred man.
Therefore, appeal to you to stand up as
one man upon the platform of the Republi-
can party. know that you have done so
IN the past, but now the time of all the most
important is approaching, and you cannot
be too tlrm III defending your rights, or too
cautious IN avoiding the SHARES of the enemy.
,Fellow-cltizens, We are charged with be-
ing IN favor of confiscation Where is the
proof! Let 1t be shown. For one can saw
that am not IN favor of confiscation, and
no man can prove the assertion to be false.
| am an humble man in many respects, no
doubt, but it is my desire to do right, and
see you do right and become more and more
happy every day. Let us unite then for this
purpose more closely. Shoulder to shoulder
let us ali march under the banner of the
Republican party, and carry our State back to
the Union, where the rights of every man are
respected and all are protected by equal laws
and common Constitution.

The -Dangersofa Secession. Views and Sc
Scessicn EounseIs.

i Theseeessionists tdld our people id 1859
that tie Northern people would not light
THAT one southern snanaeeuld whip five Van
kees-that all the blood that would be shec
could be wiped up with pocket handker
chief, &C., &C. The result is known. The
people were deceived, and the ssecessionist:
deceived them.
The secessionists told our people In 1859
that they must fight on-that the North
would certainly be driven back and van
quished-that the Northwest would secede
and take part with the South-that France
or England would come in, and that South
ern independence was certain. The result is
known. The people were deceived, and the
secessionists deceived them
The secessionists told our people, even in
March. 1865, that Sherman would never
reach Raleigh-that Grant would he routed
at Petersburg and driven to his boats-that
Northern credit and resources were exhaust
ed, and that the Confederacy" would GER
tainly triumph. The result is known. The
people were deceived, and the secessionists
deceived them.
The secessionists told our people in 1865,
that they could return to the Union In their
own way-that the plan of the President
might be accepted in part, and in part re-
jccted-that if we did not show an anxiety
to get back we would get better terms, such
as pay for slaves, the right of every one to
hold Office, &c. They thus destroyed the
Presidents plan. They opposed, denounced
and rejected the Howard amendment in the
same strain. Then came the reconstruction
acts, which they assail, declaring that the
terms they impose ares revolving and degra-
ding. They advise the people not to accept
them. They tell them to hold out for better
terms-that the Northern Democrats will
get power and deal more literally with the
South-that Is reaction" will take place in
the Northern mind-that President johnson
will, in the last resort, resist the Congress
and fight for the constitutional rights of
the South" &C., &c. Will the people listen
longer to these false prophets? If they do
they will rue it bitterly. For the last seven
years the promises and predictions of the
secessi onists have presented one unbroken
series of bloody falsehoods. The only hope
for peace, for prosperity, for restoring and
maintaining the honor of the South, is in
the Republican party. That party has de-
ceived no one. 1t will not deceive us now.
If we will do as the nation tells us our State
will be restored, and will be saved from in.-
pending evils; but if we follow further the
advice of those who have deceived and ruin
ed US in the Ipast, there is no telling what
may be in reserve for US. People of North
Carolina, be warned in time! This is your
last chance.
