Tor the promotion of the Republican cause.

amble and resolutions adopted at the Repub-
ican Ratlhcation Meeting, held in this Ouil-
dlng on the 18th OF September last are here
ny cordially approved and re-afirmed.
Inc following are the resolutions referred |
to:
Hesotced, That we do accept and approve |
OF the principles Of the Republican party in |
Nofth Carolina as enunciated by the Con-
Tentlon OF March ,27th, 1867, and by the |
convention OF September 4th, 1867, and we
do pledge ourselves to maintain and carry
out those principles, to the end that the In
ION may be made one and inseparable upon
basis OF justice and equality to all men
Without regard to race or color.
ReSot0ed, That we regard the Republican
party as the only sound political organiza-
lion In the country, and That we will faith
FULLY adhere to tile objects and purposes it
has SO distinctly announced, embracing the
entire Congressional plan, as the only GER
tain measure by which the unreconstructed
oCates OF the South can he restored to their
true and Legitimate relations with the Gen.
eral Government.
Res0f0ed, That we do not regard any &C
ton, proceeding, or vote, of the Convention
OF the Attn instant, as intended to pledge the
republican party OF the State to any plan
OF contiscation; that it is neither expedient
nor useful IN view OF a speedy, SAFE Just and
permanent reconstruction of the State to the
Union, to agitate this subject; and as Re-
pubhcans we would most earnestly tlenre-
cate any measure of contiscation or further
political disfranchisement.
hesot0ed, That We deplore and deprecate
any and all attempts to form White MANS or
a Black Mans Purity as dangerous, especially
to the peace and welfare OF the South: that
we maintain that a party founded upon the
true basis of the Republican organization
which cordially invites to its support all men
without distinction of color or former polit-
lcal antecedents, is amply sufficient to meet
every reasonable and patriotic demand.
Res0tred, That we view the indulgence of
nate and sectional prejudice as
positively detrimental and ruinous to the
u interest and prosperity of the South:
mat we earnestly desire the early establish
ment OF harmonious and kind relations not
only among all persons within our own bor-
oels' OUT with the people of every Northern
State. 5tf &JEi 800 :, - Nv 'ioi"
