TO THE CONSERVATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL
UNION MEN OF WAKE COUNTY.

ty, friends of the American Union and SUD-
porters of the Constitution of the United
States, being convinced that the incorpora-
ton of the Brownlow-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 Ia
boring population, do most earnestly implore
all Conservative citizens of every County in
the State, to hold meetings for the adoption
of such plans as they may deem wisest and
best, for uniting and consolidating the Con-
sentative 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-
|
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 call, gotten up and circu-
lated by the Rev. William E. Pell for reb-
ell meeting to be held in this City on Friday
night next. This call is based on false pre-
fences, 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-
gramme" 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. Brownlow 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
TENDER Republican Convention. If Radi-
cal principles and measures" should be in
corporated into our State organization"-as
they certainly must be, or the State can new
er be restored to the Union-this will be the
work, not of Brownlow or Holden, but of
the loyal people of the State. It is, there
fore, disingenuous and cowardly to charge
measures and results on one Holden
which will flow from the action of the great
body of the loyal people themselves. Hol-
den has no power outside the Republican
party. He would be but feather in the
wind, should he resist that party, or throw
himself in its way. He is a0ith that party
both in principle and conscience. His ac-
ton is not constrained, but voluntary He
believes that the only hope of restoring the
State to the Union, and putting it once
more on the high road to peace and prosper
ity, is in and through the Republican party;
and he would, therefore, be untrue both to
his State and to the Union if he did not
dedicate all his energies to the service of
that party, and resist every effort, no matter
from what quarter, to distract, divide, or en-
barrass it. If Holden were to consult his >
own ease, or pride of section, or the passions
and prejudices of the hour, his course would
be different; but as public man he scars
above all such considerations, and addresses
himself solely to the best means of saving
and building up his impoverished and ruin
ed country. But while he exposes the in
