CaggrrTI0N, FRAUD AND DISHONESTY OF
faE DEMOCRATIC PARTY In CURRlTUCk
COUNTY. q
Mgssas. ,EpIToRs 81 trust that you will
GIVE ,ae d small space in yqur columns to Z
Show 10 the public, thnt theaboye allegations,
ara true, II was a said by the Rebels that
North Carolina could not be rcconstruc-s
le,l without their aid, and consequently some
of the Worthites had to he appointed to aid
in the registration in this County. Now let
us see how this class OF men have acted.
In the first place, the Democratic Conserve (
tive candidate was brought before tile peo-
pie by u set of DISTINGUISHED Rebels, and
they did not fail in their Convention to give
vent to their spleen and hatred towards the
government and Union men, viz : Buftaloe's
and negroes One of the so-called children
of God, u Methodist minister, wanted all the
Republicans hung. This very pious minis
ter. presume, thinks he might have receiv-
cd from his father-in-law (whose daughter
he stole) one poor pitifnl Niger" We
would like to remind the Rev. gentleman of
the words of John Wesley, the founder
Of his church. American slavery is the
viest that ever saw the sun, it constitutes
the sum of all villainies." IL sa3i 5!a'
Men buyers are exactly on level with
men-stealers." hope the Rev. so-called will
ponder these sentiments and try and repent.
First get the beam out of thine own eye"
and likely the Republicans will not all have
to be hung. The Democratic candidate was
requested to meet the Republican candidate
at every precinct in the County, but he feared
to show his face, and like the old style, he
slipped around them through the woods
and by-paths, and if he had been elected,
VIC suppose he would have taken the same
course to have found Raleigh.
This County being so intercepted by
streams of water there were two Boards of
Registrars appointed The southern Board
have fully discharged their duty, and every
thing passed off quietly, giving our candi-
date one hundred and fifteen Q15) majority.
There Was two or three would-be grett mo-
gals on Roanoke Island and North Banks,
diyranthised, who used considerable iu1u-i
ence by threats and abuse to the poor peo
pie. 1t is quite likely these gentlemen, (who
have very huge abdOmens from hugging
man named "Dimmy," whose sir name is
John" will want their disabilities removed,
and then we will try and remind them OF
their past conduct. ..U -
There is quite contention in regard to
the Megul votes polled in the northern dis
trict-one OF the WORTHLESS is Chairman of
that Board. Nearly all the votes polled are
illegal, not having the proper inscription
upon the ballot. At Indian Ridge precinct,
on the first day of the election, was written
on one ballot the name OF the candidate, and
on another. ballot mo Convention" The
words = Convention and Delegate were not
inscribed us directed. -tt,r.
At Tull's Greek precinct, the ballots were
not written with the christian name in full,
neither were the polls forwarded to the
Board 10 be corrected as directed in the Re
construction acts of Congress. a..
At AIoyock, the home of the rebel candi-
date, the votes were inscribed as follows:
For Constitutional Convention.
SOC rs THOMAS SANDERLIN,
p =. No Convention. F
No Convention and Delegates. diH
This is perfect contradiction. 5a
Again, the word mo- instead of Against"
rs prescribed in the Reconstruction acts do
not mean the same thing, but aour worthy
Rebel Democratic Conservative candidate
who stood over the polls the entire days of
the election, could not see these contradic-
tons; we would advise him to study his
spelling book awhile longer before he leaves
Tor Raleigh to frame u Constitution for the
loyal people of North Carolina it'd
At Knots Island precinct, nothing but the
surname of the delegate was inscribed ON
the ticket, and no Convention on a separate
ballot. The words Convention and Dele
gate" were not inscribed as directed; the
polls here were not returned to the Board to
be corrected the inspections said they had
no Instructions to send the polls to the Board,
and the Worthite Registrar said he had never
seen any such instructions. when they have
been published in every newspaper through
out the United States since Congress passed
the Reconstruction acts.
At Gibbs Woods precinct, the ballots
were written-''N No Convention T. Sander
lin, and the voters name under the candi-i
date, and when the voter could not write he
| would make his mark. The inspectors at
this precinct were accused of being Adolf
tionists by the Worth Conservatives, and the
voters would not allow them Gnspectors) to
give them any instructions, saying no man
should know how they voted, yet they put
their name to every ballot. All the intell:-
gence and brain are in the Conservative
ranks, and of course the loyal men of North
Carolina have not the capacity to reconstruct
the State t7H yf7gsJG itlm -'!sl
AT Currituck Courthouse, the inspector
who is Worthite and Postmaster, found
that there were thirty-nine Illegal votes
polled on the first day not having the proper
inscription, SO he opened the box ard took
theretrom thirty-nine votes and put other
thirty-nine in. The said inspector was in
terrogated upon their change and after some
qubbling acknowledged the truth of the
charge, for we had the halter drawn and
there was no way to buck This is nothing
strange in this section. for am credibly
informed that few years ago, gentleman
| by the name of Hatfield died, and lie was
| carried by this precinct to the burial ground
on the day of election, and this same Demo-
cratic party would have one more vote placed
to tins gentleman, as a token of respect rs
| they said. So his name was written once
more upon the poll lists This, of course,
| pardoned his sins and thy servant departs
in peace. ~ Aeat3N @i@
Now when the votes from four precincts
came to be counted by the Board, the Chair
man refused to throw out the illegal votes
There were three or -four Republicans together
with our candidate who were on the alert,
and woullnot consent for these ballots who
counted against u.s. so the entire Board with
the votes will appear at Plym outh, N. c., be-
fore Col Benzoni, for a decision, if these il
legal votes are counted against US we intend
to refer to Gen. Candy, and continueto fight
