1t is not material on which side the ballot
the words For a Convention are writ
ten or printed. Bear this in mind. Having
printed a number of tickets with the words
- For Convention " on the back of them,
and hearing that these words should be on
the face of the ballot, we teleeraphed Gen.
Candy on the 9Th for information, to which
he replied as follows:

ceived. Col. Bomford has full Instructions
Confer with him.
By command of Maj. Gen. CANDY,
L. V. CAZIARC. A. A. A. G.
Up to this time Col. Bomford had pub
lished no instructions on this subject. We
applied to him for information, when we
were furnished with a form OF ballot with
the words for and against Convention on
the face of the ballot, but were not told that
this was indispensable. We telegraphed
again to Maj. Gen. Candy, and received the
following reply:
CHARLESTON, Nov. 9, 1857.

ceived. 1t is not material, so that both are
on one ballot. Such will he counted.
BY command of Maj. Gen. CANDY,

We have the authority, therefore, of Gen.
Candy for stating that it makes no differ
ence ON which side the ballot the words
For a Convention may be- The vote on
Convention will be counted, whether on the
back or on the face of the ticket. The
names of the candidates and the vote on
Convention, whether for or against, must be
on the same piece of paper. Let these facts
be known; and let every Republican, and
every man who wants peace and prosperity,
vote for a Convention, and vote for Republi-
cans as delegates to the Convention.

We publish to-day, from the Newbern
Republican, brief account of a discussion
in Washington, in which Mr.. Carter and MIR.
Rodman took part, the former against, and
the latter for Convention. Mr.. Carter has
already published an able letter in the Raj
eigh Sentinel, in which he calls upon the
people to rise up and reject the Congress
ional PLAN The Sentinel publishes this
letter out of personal courtesy" to Mr..
Carter, and we presume the Register will do
the same thing. We are not complaining
of any neglect, intentional or otherwise, but
it is little singular that Mr.. Carter has thus
overlooked his friend, the Standard. Much
of Mr. Carriers letter has the ring of true
loyalty, but we think he has made most
serious mistake, which he will regret here
after, in taking ground against the recon-
struction measures.
The Wilmington Journal, which too fire.
quently takes narrow view of things through
a iaundiced medium, bids Mr. Rodman fare
well, and welcomes the returning foot

Mr. Carter nor applaud Mr.. Rodman. We
are bound to regard them both as honest
We think Mr.. Carter has made a serious
mistake for himself and his country; and

CoIored Men. Beware Z

The secession leaders are begging you for
your votes Beware of them They went
to war and fought four long years to keep
you and your children in state of slavery.
Failing in that, they appeared to submit
But they have lately taken new courage, and,
they hope to carry the elections, SO as to re-
duce you again to slavery. They would not
call you slaves, but they would make you
slaves by their laws, if they had the power.
They would deny you the right of suffrage
They would make apprentices of you, sell
you for debt, sell you for alleged offences,
and trample all your manhood out of you
Your last condition would be worse than
your first. You would have to bear all the
pains of slavery without any legal obligation
or any feeling of interest on the part of the
master to provide for you in sickness and
old age.
You are now Free Congress says to you,
maintain and enjoy your freedom. IF a.
leading Rebel begs you for your vote, tell
him you can do nothing to put your liberty
in peril. You knoso the Republican party is
your friend. AS you value your dearest
rights, stand By that party. Tell these Sc
cession leaders yon will do any thing else
for them, but you can not vote away your
blood-bought liberties. If they tempt you
by offers of money or work. spurn their
offers. They have tried to, buy James b.
Harris and Others but they failed. Such
men are unpurchasable. Tell them you are
poor but there is not money enough In the
world to buy your freedom. Stand by your
real friends, poll every vote, and we will
soon be out of all our troubles safely moored
in the harbor of Peace, Justice and Loyalty.
Better to suffer now even the loss of money
and employment than to lose your liberties
and the liberties of your children for all
coming time

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN BLADEN co.


The Republicans of Bladen County assembled,
by delegates, at the Courthouse in Elizabeth
town, on Saturday 26th inst, pursuant to call of
County Committee, to elect two candidates for
the Constitutional Convention.
The Convention was organized by calling
Mr. f. F. French, Chairman, and Mr.. j. E. Ed
ridge, Secretary.
A w Fisher Esq, was nominated and unani-
mously elected candidate for the State Con-
VentiOn
On being called upon he addressed the Conven-
ton in an able and interesting manner, explain
ing and comparing the Democratic and Republi-
can ideas o, reconstruction, and showing by the
oppressive laws passed by the Southern States,
though recognizing the abolition of slavery, that
the ballot is necessary to the colored man for his
own protection, and that the exclusion OF
tain class of whites is nothing more than what
strict Justice requires
Mr.. F. F. French was also unanimously elected
the second candidate, and in an appropriate ad-
dress defined his position as heartily supporting
the principles and policy of the Republican par
ty. ConfiscatiOn he would leave to the law max
ing power of the government, and as good cit
izen would yield obedience to the laws
On invitation, Mr. j. " Giyens, of Washing
tonCity, spoke at considerable length and in
most eloquent manner
The following resolutions were introduced by
A W. Fisher, Esq and adopted by the ConVen-
WHEREAS, The Republicans of Bladen County
by Delegates have met in Convention to chose
candidates for election to the State Convention;
be it HEf
l. Resolued, That we earnestly desire the early
restoration OF North Carolina to her place In the
Union and we believe the only plan, safe and just
to all, is the one proposed by Congress, ana We
will give it our cordial support
2. That while the Democratic party Is strictiS
and obviously white mans party, the Repubii-
can party is the PARTY of all men rich or poor
white or black having for its motto the equanty
of all men before the law, and to every man MS
rights.
3. That we believe 1t to be for the best inter-
cts of the State to have system OF equal taxa

We learn that Mr. Pell is much more ven
omous and mentlacious in his personal APP
peals for votes. and in his utilization of loyal
men, than he is in his paper.\ He is in the
habit of telling colored men that the Repub-
llcan party is a nasty, mean, chicken-steal-
ing party" and that its purposes are of the
vilest character. He is very careful not to
talk in this way to white Republicans. for he
knows if he does he will get his nose pulled.
This hardened old sinner Is also charging
privately, as we'll as in his paper, that one of
the Republican candidates, B. S. D. Williams,
ESQ. denies that there is IA God! A viler or
more malicious SANDER was never uttered
Mr. Williams is firm believer in God and
in his Son Jesus Christ, and he is SO liberal
in his reli gious views that he would be hap
py to see even such sinners Mr.. Pell saved
with an everlasting salvation. MIR. Williams
honesty and integrity are proverbial. A day
or two since, when this charge was mention
ed in the presence of a friend of Mr. Will
iams his reply was, 81 don't know how it
is. 1 do not believe the charge But l
know one thing, have bought corn from
Mr.. Williams, and he gives good measure,
pressed down and running over"
Well now, what sort of believer in God
is MIR. Pell2 His God is one of vengeance
and agony There is not Radical whom
he would not degrade here and burn hereaf-
ter. During the rebellion he woIshipped the
God of War; and prayed that that God
would blast his enemies with the lightnings
of destruction We say nothing against the
Jewish faith Our Jewish friends are emit
titled to their own belief, as we are entitled
to ours; but it is horrible thing in pro-
Tossing Christion to deny Christ for political
purposes, as Mr.. Pell and his party did in
1864 Mr.. Benjamin, Mr.. Davis's Secretary
of State, issued tour proclamations for pray
er to God for the success of the Confederate
arms, and in each of these proclamations,
being Jew, he deliberately ignored the Sa-
viour of mankind. Mr.. Pell and his co-trai-
tors endorsed all this; and now this Pharisee
! thanks God he is not as other men, and false
ly charges that one of his neighbors, solely
| because he does not agree with him in poll
tics, is follower of Voltaire and Paine
| Shame on such hypocrisy and meanness

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

Republican Candidates for the Constitutional
Convention from Wake Comfy.
BENTON S. D. WILLIAMS,
JAMES H. HARRIS,
JOSHUA p. ANDREWS,
STOKES D. FRANKLIN.
The above is the ticket for which
every friend to the Union, to Peace,
and to Prosperity will vote. And the
following is the ticket for which the
enemies of the Union, of Peace and
Prosperity will vote:
DANIEL G.. FOWLE,
B. T. BLAKE,
JNO. A. MCLEAN,
p. TT. MANGUM.
OF this ticket beware! 1t is the Sc
cession, disunion ticket. Every white
man who votes for it it will vote to
continue strife and bad feeling by vo-
ting against the reconstruction of the
government; and every colored man
who votes for it will vote to put him
self and his children again in sla-
very. Again we say, beware of the
Fowle secession ticket!

al very large rumber of our citizens We're
in attendance at fuckers Hall, on Friday
night last, to listen to an address by the
Hon. Jehu Baker, member of the House of
Representatives from the 18th Illinois Dis
trict. Mr.. Baker was in town with his FAM
ily on visit, and though his mission was
not political one, he kindly consented to
address the people on the state of the coun.
try. All the political papers il town had
Joined in inviting the people to turn out.
and the result was q very full attendance.
Mr.. Baker spoke for more than two hours
with great ability. He occupied the whole
ground, commencing with the causes of the
rebellion. tracing the rebellion to its calam:-
tous end, explaining the Howard amendment
and the reconstruction acts, and showing
that justice, sound policy, and the best in.
terests of the whole country required the
prompt and cheerful acceptance of those
acts. He showed that the contest from first
to last was between Aristocracy and Democ-
its character, which takes care of the people
from the humblest to tile most exalted. and
elevates them in the scale of freedom and
humanity. ........
There were many fine bursts of eloquence.
and the speech was pervaded by liberal
philosophic tone which commended it to ey-
cry thoughtful and fair-minded person who
heard it. His defence of the Howard amend
ment and the Reconstruction Acts was full
and complete, as was also his argument to
prove that Congress has planted itself in all
its measures looking to reconstruction, on
the broad platform of the Constitution.
Among other things he said he was concern.
eel to hear that serne of our people, encour-
aged by delusiye hopes growing out of the
recent elections, were indulging the belief
that Congress would modify the reconstruc-
tinn acts in relation to- manhood suffrage.
He declared emphatically that this would
not be done, but that Congress would in
fexibly maintain the acts as they are.
Mr.. Bakers speech has produced fine
impression upon our people. It was thor
oughly and soundly Republican in its char
actcr, but was couchcd in such terms and
so delivered as to produce the best effect

A Mark Set Upon Voters I

We learn that the Rebel leaders of this
City are preparing list of persons whom
they suppose will vote for the Republican
candidates, thus carrying out Mr.: Bledsoe's
idea that all true Republicans should be
marked for future punishment. This mark
is meant for both races, but especially for
the white Worklngmen and merchants of
this City.
Will free men submit to this2 The
same thing was done by these bloody lead
ers in 1864. Every man who voted against
Vance for Governor was marked, and, ifhis age
at all permitted, he was sent in handouts to
{" the front" to fight the federal armies. The
law of the State was broken in thousands
OF cases by the inspectors marking the names
of the voters on their tickets as they put
them in the box, SO that they could be iden-
titled and siezed.
Men you are now free. Vote as you
please. Let them mark you if they will,
but be sure to mark them at the ballot box
IF ever thy fathers deeds of fame,
Or memory of their deathless name,
Hath fire thy blood or flushed thy brow,

such cases as may be presented after due

malcontents, rebels, and opponents OF recon

simply technically banned by the amend

REPUBLICAN MEETING In ASHE COUNTY

According to previous notice large num-
Der of the people of Ashe County. irrespec-
tive of race or color, met at Dunn's Mills
and organised by calling Rev. VIM. Gala
way to the Chair, and appointing Junius
Dunn, Secretary.
The following committee was then appoin-
ted to draft resolutions, as follows: Messrs.
w. Finley, JOS. Gabriel, L.. Bowers, Joseph
Bowers and Junius Dunn. The Committee
retired and reported as follows:
ResOl0ed, That we recognise the hand of
Divine Providence in the changes wrought
in the land and we implore his assistance
and direction in the work before us.
Rss0tced, That we are pleased with the
acts of Congress for reconstructing the
Southern States, and we are willing to abide
by their provisions, and are equally free to
say that existing rebel State organization
should be abolished.
ResoIred, That we hold this government
should be administered by loyal citizens
only; and in government founded on lib
erty, justice and equality should be secured
to all its citizens, and that class prescriptions
are opposed to the spirit of free institutions
and inconsistent with a republican form of
government.
Res0IUed, That we detest and hold as un
worthy of confidence, the man or men that
would seek to divide the loyal people at this
time and become the willing tools of disloy-
alists for the sake of Office
ResolUed That our thanks are due to the
Union Congressional Committee and the
State Executive Committee for sending able
speakers and papers among US, endeavoring
TO reconcuc the people to true loyalty.
ReS0toed. That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the Standard for publication.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
VIM. Galloway was then nominated as a
candidate for delegate to the Convention,

Let it be kept m mind that one-Anzf of

If no Convention should assemble. then
North Carolina will remain in her present
