/ MY REPUBLICAN FELLOW CITIzENs: We have
| now arrivcdla the period from which We can see
| the end Of, thc tmightiesti rebellion which the
| civilized world has ever known. North Carolina
| has, by iler voluntary action, debarrcd her
| selfofthc benefits ofa benign government stader
| which she had lived for eighty years, and now
for he first time the general government has seen
lit To allow her the opportunity again to unite
herself in all her full relations that her insane
folly destroyed the 20th day OF May, 1861.
To-day wehavc met together for the first time,
irrespective of races for the parpoSccf consult
ing and, comforting with the other, as 10 the
| most speedy yand prompt tmodetocarry out theacts
i of Congress towards reconstruction. BY the act
| of the 39tlli Congress, passed on the 2nd day OF
March, and by a subsequent supplemental act OF
/ the +0th Congress. passed On the 23rd OF March,
| the loyal people OF North Carolina, IL they so
| elect, can become part of the national sister
hood of States, comprising tue great American
Republic. Let us cordially respond to this call
/ Let unite our hearts and hands in assisting and
| a!ietting those who have been appointed to con-
troll and supervise the accomplishment of this
| happy cOnsummation (ApplatIse0 -
Th,lik God! the sun of q brighter day las
burst through the thunder clouds Of war that
has dcluged our country in fratricidal blood.
The rays of that sun now, gid the Star Spangled
Banner of freedom throughout this broad land.
Thank God that every American citizen can now
cxclaim, that he belongs to but one glorious and
united country-tiiat but one banner floats IN the
breeze from tho, Atlantic TO the Pacifc-from the
mighty lakes Of the N2rth to the sunny shores of
the Mexican gulf (Applause.) 'i@
