For the Standard.
To the American CONGRESS-.

I have examined the various plans of re-
union and must confess, it is my firm con-
viction that the Stevens plan ought to be
more favorably received or the part of the
late rebels than any other. The influence of
those partizans who for their own agrandise-
ment attempted to destroy the most benign
institutions that the world had yet known
in self-government, still weighs heavily
through the whole insurgent States These
men who had fixed all the relations of eAis-
tence and had devised secession and then
despotism, must now be themselves aware,
for it is too patent to be concealed, that there
can be no security for the future in any part
ofthe country, without their entire suppress
ion, and full submission to the constituted
authorities of the land. The Stevens plan
designs that for five years they shall assume
no part in the government. Their property
remains untouched, their liberties untram-
melled save in the deprivation of political
franchises for brief period.
1t was bold and high game they propos-
ed to play, risking all on the hazard of die,
and they were well aware, if they lost, that
political death would assuredly follow
But like unprincipled black-legs, after their
own game has been fairly lost, they propose
to play the grab-game, and seize the stakes
after they have been won by their opponents.
There is a close analogy between such dema-
gogues and gamblers. The one handles the
people as their deck, and by deceit and pre-
varication plays with them to the top of
their bent. The other too, has his deck cut
and trimmed to suit his hand, and will win
every time or break up the game. There is
some honor even among thieves, but with
such demagogues and blacks-legs, no honor
was ever found in them. They must win on
every hand, at every turn, or every thing
must go by the board.
Thus with the promoters of the rebellion
and their willing followers. If they win
they have every thing, and if they lose, they
still claim all. Is it not perfectly plain that
there is no quiet for our afflicted country, if
such men as these, are again trusted by
the people to manage public affairs for them
And all this abuse showered down daily on
the heads of the loyal statesmen at the feder,
al capital, is all done to intimidate, while it

Rail Road Meeting in surry.

A large number of the citizens of Surry County
met at Mt Airy, on the LIST day of january, 1867,
for the purpose of considering the question OF
Rail Road communications.
The meeting was organized by calling William
Haymore, Esq, to the Chair, andappointing John
NJ. Brewer and Joseph Biting Secretaries.
At the request OF the Chairman, Mr. y. f.
Graves briefly explained the object of the meet
ing; c.. ,s .,o+ oonn,;t+oo 81
five gentlemen be appointed to propose business
for the meeting.
The motion being adopted, the Chairman ap-
pointed Messrs. r. s. Gimer, j. w. Brewer, j.
c. Norman, John Banner and j. F. Graves, as the
committee.
The committee retired, and, du. ing their alb
sence, the meeting was ably addressed by Mr.
j. G. Gilmcr.
The committee returned and reported the fol-
lowing resolutions:
we portion Of the people of Surry County,
having assembled to-day to consult together, and,
if possible, to devise some means to Infuse
spirit of enterprise among us, to develope the
mineral, manufacturing and agricultural resources
OF our section OF the country, and to restore and
the subject candidly, in all its bearings and have
concluded that increased facilities for transporta
ton would aid more than all other means in the
accomplishment of our object. We have further
considered, that although we mainly de-
pendent on the Rail Roads of Virginia, yet, as
citizens of North Carolina, desiring to promote
the interest of the whole State, ought first to
seek connection with the Rail Roads OF our own
State: therefore
ReSol0ed, That we request our representatives in
the present Legislature, both in the Senate and
Commons, to use their best efforts to procure
charter for a Rail Road from some point on the
North Carolina Rail Road to Mt. Airy and the
Virginia line, and to procure aid from the State
to assist in the construction of the said road.
Resolved That by extending the said Rail Road
to the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road, the vast
dcposites of lime, gypsum, and salt in South
western Virginia will be opened to the people of
the whole State.
Resolved, That the connection by Mt. Airy, with
the Virginia and Tennessee Rail Road, would
greatly promote the interest of all the Rail Roads
in the State, and especially OF the North Caro-
lima Rail Road, and the proposed connection with
Fayetteville and Wilmington.
ResolOed, That we call upon the people of Fay
etteville and Wilmington to aid us in our efforts
to open Rail Road communication with them.
The resolutions having been read, on motion of
Mr. VIM. b. Banner were unanimously adopted.
The meeting then addressed by Mr.. r. S.
Gimer, DR.. JOS HOllinsworth, John Banner and
j. W. Brewer i'll a brief and pertinent manner.
On motion, resolved, that the proceedings of
this meeting be sent to the Sentinel and the Stan
dard for publication.
The meeting then adjourned.

rhe Rirhf of Petition.

The loyal people of North Carolina are en-
gagedi in sending petitions to Congress, pray
ing that body to pass an act to enable the
people to restore the State to the Union on
thoroughly loyal basis.
The Sentinel, of this City, the organ OF
Gov. Worth, regards this action by our loyal
people as incendiary and reasonable, and
calls upon the grand juries Of the State to
indict those engaged in it
We expected this. Our readers will recol,
lect that we stated in our last, that If the
military should be withdrawn from our
midst, and if those traitors to the federal
Union who are now controlling our State
had before them no fear of consequences, ev-
cry person engaged in petitioning the Con-
gress for permanent loyal civil government
would be indicted and punished for treason.
Our statement has been abundantly confirm
ed by the Governors organ.
The right of petition is one of the dearest
and most sacred that can be exercised under
republican forms. It is the foundation OF
all free government. No people can be
said to be even in the alphabet of liberty,
who may be even threatened with punish
ment by those in authority for exercising
this right. But the loyal people of this. State,
who thought that, after years of intolerable
bondage, they were free from the moment
Gen. Sherman with his army reached this
City, are now told by the organ of Governor
Worth that if they persist in memorializing
the Congress of the United States they will
be indicted and punished.
k We respectfully invite the attention of the
President and Congress of the United States
to this threat, contained in the Raleigh Sen
tineI of the I'd of this month.
But the people of this State of both races
have q right to memorabilia the Congress,
and they aoiU exercise this right. No power
can prevent them from doing it. We tell
the people that they are free. No grand ju-
ry will dare, even under the orders of the
Governor, to indict them because they have
thought proper to sign petitions to Congress.
This effort by the Sentinel and other dis
loyal presses in the State to prosecute and
punish portion of our people on account of
their loyalty, is one of the strongest argu-
ments that could be presented in favor of
the immediate reorganization of this State
We tell the Congress that treason has got to
such a pitch in this State, that those Of or
people aoho presume to send memorials to it,
are IN danger Of being indicted and punished.
Let US have prompt action in the work of
reorganization, is the earnest cry and prayer
of all our loyal people.
