THE LEG1sLATURE.-We regret to see that
the Raleigh Sentinel has changed its opinion
about the .propriety of the Legislature re-
assembling this Summer. Some weeks ago
the Sentinel in a very sensible article, ex-
pressed the opinion that the Legislature
ought not to re-assemble, which article we
copied and endorsed; but we find in the
Sentinel of last week an article suggesting
that the Legislature ought to meet for the
purpose of adopting measures to build
Penitentiary, and saying that Gen. Sickles
is of the same opinion. We are opposed to
the re-assembling of the Legislature, be-
cause it will cost fifty or seventy five thou
sand dollars, and because no action ought to
be taken by that body in regard to building
a Penitentiary until we are relieved from
military rule and the one-man power. If
Gen. Sickles wants Penitentiary built let
him issue an order to that effect Che is not
afraid to issue orders,) but don't let US be-
little ourselves and waste the peoples money
by re-assembling the Legislature to volunta-
rily do what a majority of the taxpayers of
the State are opposed to doing. We advise
a strict compliance with all military orders,
but we call on the people to oppose the re-
assembling of the Legislature and the use
less expenditure Of thousands of dollars of
the public money. Let the members of the
Legislature refuse to attend an extra session
this Summer. unless they are ordered to do
so by Gen. Charlotte Democrat.

REPUBLICAN MEETING IN LOUISRIRG.

On Monday, June 10th, the colored peo-
pie of Franklin County assembled in the
town of Louisburg in very large numbers
The procession formed about eleven o'clock
in the Academy grove and marched to the
southside of the river to the vicinity of the
school-house. Nearly three thousand of all
colors were here assembled
On motion, Mr.. W. H. Webb was elected
Chairman, and MIR. J. H. Williamson an
pointed Secretary.
The meeting was then addressed by Jos.
w. Holden, Richard Inge Wynne, and Jas.
81. Harris.
The first and last named gentlemen en-
forced the most thorough Republican doc
tIine at some length, to the great satisfac-
ton OF the audience. Mr.. Wynne dwelt on
other matters. Owing to physical inability
his remarks were not protracted
The following resolutions were then re-
ported by w. H. Webb, Jeremy Evans and
Richard funston, Committee, and adopted :
Resotced, That we rejoice that the flag of
The Union once more floats over the whole
country, and we trust the day is not distant
when secession and treason will be forever
buried, and the Union restored on the broad
basis of Liberty and Justice to all.
ResoJUed, That we are pleased with the
acts of Congress to reconstruct the Southern
States, and we are ready and willing as loyal
citizens to do allin our power to give effect
to those acts, but we feel bound to say from
observation and experience that it is neces-
sary in order to secure the reconstruction of
this State on thoroughly loyal basis, that
the existing rebel State organizations should
be abolished.
ffesotCed, That it seems hard that as loyal
citizens we are taxed to support and keep
In existence State organization, through
which rebels and persons disafected to the
government are permitted to rule over us.
and at the same time to obstruct. the work
Reconstruction.
Resoloed, That we hold that this Govern.
ment ought to be administered by loyal men
and loyal men only; and we believe that in
a government founded on Liberty, Justice
ana Equality should be secured to all its cit
liens OF rights; that class prescriptions are
opposed to the spirit of free institutions and

Washington dispatches from rebel hands
state that the President advises the Tennessee
petitioners to apply simultaneously to Gen.
Thomas and Gov. Brownlow for protection
from outrages; thus giving Brownlow an
opportunity and Thomas the right to correct
them.
Tennessee is doing very well. But if, by
possibility, Gov. Brownlow should be de-
feated the triumphant rebels would at once
involve the State in horrible civil war.

they can not have it with the present State

doing what he can to restrain and control
these organizations, but the fact that he is
obliged to do SO is the best proof that they
are hostile to liberty and reconstruction

The Union League Great Bond of
Union, and an Educator of the Masses.
We invite the Attentions of our readers, and
especially those Of them who are of the U.
L. of A., to the following Address of the
Grand Council of the State of South-Car
lima. Much of what is said in this Address
applies with force to the condition of things
in North Carolina.
There is nothing in the Union League of
America to which any patriot can object
Its object is to preserve liberty, to restore the
Union, and to give to the Union endless per-
petuity. There are no secrets in it save OF
the most harmless kind.
The League is great Educator of the
masses of the people. 1t teaches them their
rights, duties and responsibilities. 1t does
so with brotherly affection and true charity
towards all. Those who assail the League
or the Heroes of America, do so from pre-
JUDGE and ignorance, or from the fear that
these noble Orders will be instrumental in
suppressing the rebellion" and restoring
the State to the Union on loyal basis.
According to the census of 1850, there are
in this State 1860 white men of twenty
years of age and upwards; and 1884 col
ored men of twenty years of age and up
ward. We may deduct 10000 from the
whites, on account of losses in the war and
emigration. This would leave 1913, 563. The
largest vote ever polled in this State was
1900. If 10000 of the colored men should
register and vote, it will be an easy matter
to carry out the Sherman act in good faith.

BERTRAND PRAIRIE, !
July Is. 1867, {

Editor Democrat-We have been
waiting, patiently and with christian
fortitude, for the Registers Of Voters
under the law of Congress to visit our
neighborhood, that we may have q
chance to register ourselves before the
allotted time closes. We learn, from
persons recently from Alexandria, that
the Registers are snugly camped in
comfortable quarters near Pineville and
have no idea of coming to this neck Of
the woods-but consider their work in
this Parish over and only waiting for
orders to close and prepare for the COM
ing election. Can this be the truth p
Is it possible that they will fail to visit
the precincts Of Saddle Bayou, Union,
Goree's and Semmes' where there are
at least one hundred and twenty five
voters, who can register under their
rigid Interpretation OF the lawY We
can hardly believe, that as they have
nothing to do in Pineyille, that they
will fail to come here and give us the
rights, which they so scantily accord
us. Can you not, Mr.. Editor, use your
good offices with them and show them
the absolute necessity of coming among
us, if it be for three or four days. We
hear that Colonel Bates is the chief SUI
pervisor and director of the registry
business in this Parish, and as we hear
him well and fayorably spoken Of by
all, we have good reason to believe,
should you try him he would order
them out here. Do this for us as we
are DESTROYS to register and have not
the time to spare at this present season
of the year to ride to Pineville and reg
lister. This communication to you has
been urged by all the neighbors and
written by one of your
OLD FRIENDS.
