The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1867-07-03

We are in receipt of letters from friends in
various parts of the State, to which we can
not find time 70 reply. Our friends, how
ever, are assured that if we can not spare
time to write to them, their requests are at
tended to as far as it is possible to do So
We beg them to believe that we have not
forgotten them because they do not hear from
us by letter. m
Some friends have written to us that the
WORTHLESS in certain parts of tho State are
very overbearing and insulting in their man.
ner, especially towards the H. O. AS, the
U. L. AS, and other loyalists. The proper
course Is to press right on in the path of du-
ty, paying no attention to these WORTHLESS,
unless they get in the way. it they get in
the way, and render themselves personally
offensive, the only course left will be to chas-
tise them. Spread the Leagues! Organizein
every neighborhood! Make ready for the
registration and for the elections The State
must be restored to the Union on loyal ba-
sis, and none but Republicans can do it
Those who are endeayonng to prevent res
toration are enemies to every map, woman
and child in the State. Let them be so re-
garded. If thes are little men, despise them,
and at the same tiSne outwork them and vote
them down. If they are big men, denounce
them, and hold them up to the adherence of
all as the authors of their country's ruin
There is more need of moral courage now
than there is, in war, of physical courage on
the battlefield. Be Gallant for the Truth
When your country is at stake, and you feel
you can aid your country, do not fear any
man. Your country is your all. 1t embra-
ces family, friends, neighbors, and the dear
est interests of your children. IF you can re-
store your State to the Union your country
will be prosperous and happy; but if you
fail in this, you and your children will be
miserable.
Friends have also written us complaining
of the arrogance of rebel officers under the
State organization, and of their hatred to
the federal Government. Some of our
Judges and Magistrates are loyal, and these
do justice to the loyal of both races; but it
is notorious that the great body OF the State
officers, taking their cue from johnson and
Worth, are hostile to the government and
lose no opportunity to injure and Cypress the
loyal. Let our friends be patient for little
while. Congress will meet on the Sd. We
have faith thatit will wipe out these State
organizations. 1t will see, at length, as the
Southern loyalists have seen from the first,
that the plan of the President and the plan
of the Congress can not be worked together
We trust we shall have Military Governor
for each State, with exclusive control ofevery
interest until the State is ready to be repre-
sented in Congress. In no ether way, in our
Judgment, can the States be worked back
into the Union. Our only hope is in the
Congress. If that body should hesitate in
its duty to the loyal people of the nation, or
should so act as to give the advantage per-
manently to Mr.. johnson and his piebald
supporters Of the two sections, our condition
will indeed be deplorable, and in all proba-
bility beyond remedy. ~
