A Republican weekly paper will make
its appearance in Murfressboro this week.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1867-05-08
The Colored Vote.

If the rebel leaders would just see and bear
two things in mind, they would cease to
trouble the colored people about their votes.
First, the colored people know that they
owe their freedom to the Republican party !;
secondly, the colored people know that the
Republican party is the only source to which
they can look for future security for their
freedom, for equal rights, schools, &c. The
most uniformed of the colored people know
these facts. and they will vote accordingly.
There is no reason or common sense in sup
posing that they will vote against the Re-
publicans.
Again, if any employer should discharge
any colored man for voting as he pleases,
the property of that employer will certainly
be confscated by act Of Congress. And this
right to impose penalties or punishment for
fraud or force by employers will exist al
ways, for the plain reason that members OF
Congress are sworn to enforce the freedom OF
these people.
Again, even if the colored people, under
some strange and unaccountable impulse
should vote with the rebel leaders, or latter
day war saints, and place them in power in
these States, the latter would not be able to
restore the Union, for Congress would not
accept the work of reconstruction at theil
hands,
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1867-05-08

1t was easy for Mr. Wilson to perceive,
while here, as our people all know, that the
latter-day war saints in our midst are more
disposed to throw obstructionsin the way of
reconstruction than the original secessionists.
Nearly all the bitter and uncharitable re-
marks made about him behind his back,
proceed from those who, seeing they would
lose their slave property if Mr.. Llncoln's
emancipation proclamation should be made
good, disregarded their Union pledges in
1851 and 1862, and began to fight in 1868,
and fought to the last for their negroes. The
leaders of such people are such public men
as Mr.. Graham, Gov. Vance, Gov. Worth,
Mr.. Pell and others-all of whom, in the
hope of perpetuating slavery, broke their
Union pledges in 1868, and went over to the
Davis despotism.
The original secessionists, as class, are
far enough behind in all conscience in the
work of reconstruction. We know some of
them, we are glad to say, who are in a pro-
per frame of mind, and working honestly to
reconstruct the State on just principles; but
we know of no latter-day war saint Of the
Graham, Worth stripe who is doing his duty
as patriot and lover of the Union in this
crisis. The original secessionists in this
quarter are at least quiet and silent. If
they can not help the work of reconstruc-
tion, they are not obstructing it, as the lat
ter-day war saints are doing.
The weekly North-Carolina standard., 1867-05-08

Ex-Gev. Tolden then announced that at the
urgent request of many friends, Mr.. Wilson
would address the people in Capitol Square
next day, Tuesday, at IL M. The meeting
then called for Mr. Jas. H. Harris, Mr.. Brodie
and Mr.. Taylor, who responded briefly, after
which the meeting adjourned amid great en-
thusiasm.
On Tuesday Mr.. Wilson addressed a large
audience in the Capitol Square. He spoke
two hours with great power and eloquence.
He was introduced by Ex- Governor Holden,
and at the conclusion cf his speech, on mo-
tion of Rev. Mr.. Warwick, the thanks of the
audience were enthusiastically rendered to
him, for his remarks on the occasion. A
full report OF the speech will appear in our
next.
Mr.. Wilson dined at the Marlborough
House on Tuesday, with number Of friends.
In the evening he rode through the City, and
was much interested in the various residen-
ces and localities pointed out to him.
Among other places be visited the Union
cemetery near the City, where the Union
soldiers are buried. Mr. Wilson expressed
himself much pleased with the State Capt.
tol, the appearance of the two Asylums, and
the location and appearance of our little
City generally. He left in the eight o'clock
train for Wilmington, where he addressed
the people yesterday, 1st of May. Mr.. Will
son carried with him the thanks and kind
wishes of our best and worthiest people.

Mr.. Conway.

1t appears from a Card published in the
Wilmington Journal by Mr.. Mcclure STEM
ographer, that he accompanied Mr.. Conway
to that place, and reported his speech. Mr..
Mcclure states that the Chairman of the
meeting colored man, asked for the report
of the speech in the name of the meeting,
and offered to pay fifteen dollars for 1t, he,
Mr.. Mcclure, asking fifty dollars for it. Mr..
Mcclure does not charge that Mr.. Conway
made him any offer on the subject. or held
out any inducement to him to accompany
him to Wilmington. 1t is clear, from Mr..
McGuire's statement, that the whole matter
of reporting and pay was with the people
who composed the meeting; yet that gen
tleman and the Journal have assailed Mr..
Conway in gross terms, because the former
was not paid most exorbitant charge for
his report. We judge from Mr.. McGuire's
statement, that Mr.. Conway's Wilmington
speech was about the length of his Raleigh
speech, and we paid him twenty dollars for
the latter, with which he seemed entirely
satisfied.
The Journal speaks of Mr.. Conway as " an
irresponsible political vagabond," and
charges that his speech was of an " incendi-
ary character" Mr.. Conway is a gentleman
Of high character, who performed valuable
services during the rebellion in the armies of
the United States, and he has the confidence
Of thousands of the best people in the coun-
try. So far as incendiarisns is concerned,
we suppose that consists in his having told
the colored people that they have rights,
and that it is to their interest as free peo-
pie to vote against the Journal and its faction.
The Journal will hear much of such incendi-
arism for many, many years to come.

Mr.. Wilson's speech.

We have the pleasure of publishing to-day
(reported by the Junior Editor,) full re-
port of Mr.. Wilson's speech, delivered in
the Capitol Square, in this City, on Tuesday
last
The speech occupied about two hours in
its delivery. The distinguished Senator,
though speaking in the open air. seemed as
fresh when he concluded as when he COM
menced, and every word he uttered was dis
tinctly heard by the large audience present.
The manner of the speech was as fine and as
effective as its matter.
We would that every citizen Of the States
lately in rebellion could read this mastery
effort. While true in every letter to the
great principles of Liberty and Union, it is
nevertheless pervaded by spirit of liberality
and kindness which must commend it to
all thoughtful, air.minded persons
No comments on the speech are necessary.
Let every one into whose hands this paper
may fall read the speech carefully, and then
hand it to his neighbor.

Observation-Disclosures from Ireland an

begun from that country to the United Ststes,
and it bids fair to increase in volume a. the
year advances. 1t is reported from Qusens-
town that it is impossible to give any ade-
quate idea Of the extent of this movement
or the anxiety of the Irish to get to America.
During the week ending the 18th Of April
nine steamers sailed from Queenstown for tho
United States, bearing nearly 5000 emigraats.
Nine steamers were also to be dispatched BY
the various transatlantic lines every week
thereafter. From Germany the reports aro

MIR. Wilson in Wilmington.

We learn that Mr.. Wilson addressed a
very large audience in Wilmington on the
1st instant, and that he was replied to by
llr. Robinson, of the Dispatch.
We learn from friends who were present
that Mr. Robinson was thoroughly denaolisa-

A Cruel Case under Rebel Rule.

We learn that widow lady in the Coun-
ty of Johnston, "a years of age, has been
treated as follows:
She owns small farm, and had yoke of
oxen to aid her in cultivating it. 1t seems
that an old claim for debt existed against
her, which was bought number of years
ago by citizen of Wayne County. This
claim was pressed, and under Justices ex-
ecution these oxen were sold by one A. NJ.
Rockwell Constable. But, before the day
of sale, 10th January, 1867, this poor old
widow lady had taken the benefit of the
law in favor of insolvent debtors, and proof
of the same was filed in the office of the
County Court Clerk. In the report these
oxen were expressly given and secured to
her. The old lady, not being able to walk
to the sale, her daughter went six or eight
miles to it, and produced the proof from the
record that the oxen had thus been secured
to her mother But no attention was pail
to this. The oxen, worth thirty to forty
son-in-law of the man-man, did we say2-
who held the claim. 9L .s
The Constable who executed this process
is defiant rebel, who refuses to take the
amnesty oath. He is, therefore, not a citi-
zen of the United States, and his action as
Constable is illegal and invalid. He is, in
other respects, man of bad character.
1t is proper to state that Gov. Worth was
applied to, some time since, for information
as to the right of this man Rockwell to act,
and the result was Rockwell was continued
in office. .5
This widow lady, Mrs. Rhoda Pearce, has
appealed to the military for aid and protec-
tion against this great wrong, and we sim
cerely trust her appeal may not be in vain.

We invite attention to the excellent reso-
lutions in the Standard to-day, recently

South Carolina. The preamble to the reso-
lutions of the Pickens meeting is especially

a few words the true condition of the coun-
try, and what may be expected if the pres
ent effort at reconstruction should fail.

the colored people in Greenville on Saturday
night last. He INDUCED in the most out-and- cut
Radical doctrines and endeavored ing in the
whole coored people to the Radical cause, by
stating that the Radical Congress had passed a
con6scation bill and that the lands in Eastern
Virginia were now being parcelled out among the
colored people.
We learn that he was replied to BY several col
ored men who knew better and denounced as a
liar and one who, by his wild rawlings, was
calculated to do the colored people great harm
They also warned their hearers that con6scation
was dead scheme and that they could only
own land bv aoorEinq and p7e'ing for it.

meeting broke mp between the Radical and Con-
