GUILFORD ERECT!

MEssRs. EDITORS = Old Guilford has re-
deemed herself, and deserves to be placed
on the Republican record. -aas 81.
The Republicans doubted somewhat their
strength to succeed until the .Rebs" and
their allies brought forward their candidates.
As soon as this programme was announced,
it was seen by a little work the Republican
ticket could be elected The work was done
as the polls have exhibited. The old rebel
aristocrisy has been pinned to the wall. de-
spite its Boosting it had the g poor w1ites''
and the black men under Us power and in
fuence and could rule the, latter vote by
whisky; that the two classes were DEEPEN
dent on itand its means for their daily bread.
The Republicans have succeeded and they
mean to hold fast to their victory, and labor
to augment it in future elections. Rebels
look lanki and sour, and occasionally spit
out their venom, hut their slime affects no
body in the Republican ranks. The latter,
though dominant, have made no outward
show of rejoicing, but as sensible freemen
knowing their duty have simply perform
ed it. 9 ....,s sis 100. t0s
Yet they are sensible of the greatouth
that they have checked the advance guard
OF the enemy. and taken stand from which
they mean never to retreat. Freedom and
equality is their watchword Ethnologists
may war as much as they choose in regard
to whether the human race is divided into
three, five or eleven distinct species, the
monogenists have now the ascendcncy over
the polygimists of the day, and mean to
test the truth or the fallacy of the latter be-
lief in and through the principles and work
.,f tla Ro,nl,lsoor, iAoo IN A
lea. Let Republicans then stand firm and
witness the day when this reform shall be
fully, but wisely founded, and established
upon the everlasting rock of freedom. Say
these rebel aristocrats. this theory will fail
and the black man and the white man can
never rule the same nation-.tliat such a
thing Will never work in this broad land =
Let all things pass for what it is worth and
press to fill up the column of the Republi-
can ranks, for the contest next November
But says one. the negro party has beaten
us in Guilford. Hal ha! ha! Says an
other, it is now evident that Adam was a
negro, but having turned pale in the
! garden under q scare and that the mis-
| take has just been discovered that the
! white man is the negro, and the negro is the
white man. Eli I! .eh! eli! Says another,
| the RAIDS" have beat as, but thank the
Lord they can't contiscate my forty acres of
land. Cause l haint got forty acres. umph!
umph! Mang things they say and do to
| give ventto this hate to the government and
| its friends, and to injure the Republican
cause But their doom is unalterably fixed
and soon their funeralrites will be performed.
Republicans of North Carolina, the day is
ours Stand firm to the Republican flag
and see the salvation of loyalty, and the
punishment Of treason. The loyal, must
govern. Omitted we stand divided we fall y
| This latter you see in the Washington monu-
ment from Kentucky. It is poorly observed
by that people. Stand firm to the end, is
the duty of all Republicans. sa
