The Republ,can State Committee.


We invite the attention of our readers tc
the proceedings of the Republican State
Committee, to be found below.
A quorum was present for the transaction
of business, but we regret the absence OF
the Others Several of them were detained
by engagements they could not disregard -
| Mr.. Watts felt it his duty to attend the Re-
publican Convention of Martin County, held
on the same day; Mr.. Sykes was prevented
by sickness from attending; Mr.. Settle was
engaged as Solicitor. on his Circuit; DIR.
| Menninger was absent on a trip to the
North and Mr.. Myers was prevented from
attending by sickness in his family.
The Committee had no authority to go
beyond what was done by the Convention,
having been appointed mainly for purposes
| of organization, and holding all its powers
under the Convention But the resolutions
adopted will commend themselves to the
people of the State, and especially to every
true Republican. These resolutions were in
PRODUCED and adopted in spirit of concili-
alton, and with the sincere hope that they
may lead to entire harmony in the Republi-
can party of the State. ...-.t..
The Republican party must not be divid :
eel. Its principles must be sustained, and
reconstruction must be thereby effected
Everything dear to our people depends on
the success of the Republican party. Let
US all labor, then, to consolidate and build
it up; and let us turn. a deaf ear to those
who may suggest that its platform or its or
ganization can in any event he abandoned.
