Republican Association of Carteret
County.

After repeated meetings of the citizens of Beau
fort and vicinity, at which were made addresses
by able speakers of both the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, an Association was formed, call
ed "The Republican Association of Carteret
County" The following were elected its officers
and is permanent committee: Il. s. Beals, Presi-
dent; j. A. Norwood, (colored,) Vice President;
j. C. Manson, Corresponding Secretary; D.
Henderson, (colored,) Recording Secretary; j. j.
Davis, Treasury.
The object OF this Association as set forth in
its Constitution, is mutual instruction in poiti-
cal matters, to furnish means OF communication
between the citizens of this place and the leading
Republicans of the State whenever desirable, and
to strengthen the Republican party in all suitable
ways, and thereby aid Congress in the work of
reconstruction.
The following resolutions were also adopted.
llesolved, That we, the citizens of Carteret
County, and members of the Republican party,
tender our thanks to Congress for providing for
the reconstruction of the Southern States by its
recent ,enactments.

MEssRs. EDITORS MY attention has been
called to an article purporting to have been
written in Moore, (without date,) and APP
pearing in your issue of the 9Th inst, in
which the writer, hope unintentionally, has
done the people of this County injustice. I
know of, nor have heard of any Union
meeting having been held in the County since
the suspension of the Provisional Govern
ment in this State, except the County meet
ing, which assembled in the Court House at
Carthage, on the goth of April last. This
meeting was composed of true loyal citizens
from all parts of the County, both white and
colored, who stand equally in its delibera-
tions; and which was the largest and most
harmonious meeting of a political character
that has assembled in this County for twenty
years. The motto of the meeting was Lib
erty, Union, Equality, Obedience to Orders,
and hasty return to the Union under the
provisions of the Sherman bill, with the acts
ofCongress which are Supplementary thereto.
In the last Legislature, while large major
ity of that body were disunionist, this County
elected, by an overwhelming majority,
commoner of the true loyal stripe, and this
district sent to the Senate member we'll
known to nave fought for the Union from
the first mooting of secession in the South,
and who, with Others, yes many other I'm
| ion gentlemen took an active part in the
meeting referred to above. If, to-day the
people of this County were called on to vote,
the Republican party would sweep them with
an astounding majority, if. indeed, an oppo-
sition ticket would be voted for at all. 1
will venture to say that Moore County to-
day is as loyal to the United States Govern
ment i'll proportion to her population, if not
more so than any other County in North
Carolina. In regard to shooting guns du-
ring the deliberations of the meeting, 1 heard
none, nor have seen any one who did.
! Our people of both races are yielding
ready and cheerful obedience in this respect
to Section 10, General Orders, No. 10, from
Gen. Sickles.
What 1 have stated here i'll regard to the
political feelings of the people of this County
know to be facts, having acted and voted
with the Conservative Union party from the
day of its organization in this State
The proceedings OF the meeting on the
Goth of April, to which l have referred, will
speak for themselves when published

W. W. HOLDEN, Eso.-Dear Sir: Last
night Messrs. j. w. Holden and ]. H. Harris
addressed an immense audience in the Town
Hall. 1t was the first hearing the Radical
cause has had in this City. beg to assure
you that it was not only success, but tri-
umph. NIr. Holden addressed himself more
particularly to the history and claims of the
Republican party, and was frequently APP
plauded. Mr.. Harris covered the whole
ground, and came off more than conquerer.
Both white and black were astonished cleo
triticd and captivated at the rare oratory of
the dusky African. The scene itself-the
advice given-the novelty of the ideas adj
vanced-the powers displayed, and the at
tention bestowed-all proved that the
speeches were in accord with the great pop
ular heart and that the irresistible doctrine
of Union, Liberty and Equality, is destined
to win speedy and lasting triumph. All
left the hall with new thoughts-new
hopes-with old and hateful prejudices bat
tered to pieces, and with innumerable delu-
sions dispelcd. Silly people and bigoted
Editors talk about the danger of Radical
speakers addressing the masses 1t is Just
what these blockheads themselves need. 1
trust that Henry Wilson, Horace Greedy,
Gerritt Smith, w. D. Kelly, ]. W. Holden
anu y. IL. I1dTrlS Will canvass the whole
South. Reconstruction is all sham, unless
conviction lies at the bottom of the work.
And disguised pretenders, who talk about
submitting to the necessity of the case"
are more dangerous than open enemies.
But, Mr.. Editor, the people are nearer right
than the demagogues suppose. A single il
lustration will show this Recently the
County Courts of Rowan and Union have
had the Civil Rights Bill pressed upon them
by bold and honest lawyers These Courts
held by humble, sensible men, cast aside the
shackles of party politics, admitted negro
testimony against white men, and the whole
people said it was right. Judge Gillian has
since done the same thing, and that question
is settled in this section
Thus, sir while the politicians are grumb-
ling and growing over the dead and dismal
past; and old fogies are butting their heads
against imaginary evils and Gangers-the
new ideas are being practically adopted by
the people, and all is peace and harmony
The road to reconstruction, recuperation.
and power for the South lies only in the
loyal and political equality of the races. I
did not formerly think so, but am now
