The Meeting at Lashley,s.

We publish to-day the proceedings of the
large and enthusiastic Republican meeting
held at Lashley's Cross Roads, Wake county,
on Saturday last. Not less than five hun
dred persons were present. This portion
of Wake has been celebrated for its devotion
to Union principles and we feel sure, from
what we saw and heard on this occasion,
that the fires of Liberty and Union are burn
ing with undiminished brightness in this
neighborhood. Both races were represented
in the organization of the meeting, on the
committee, and in the speakers on the occa-
sion.
The Resolutions, like those adopted at the
Fayetteville meeting, cover the true ground.
Wake County has thus far been well can
vassed by the Republicans. Meetings are
still to be held at Rolesviile, Buckhorn, and
Affords Mill Push on the column!

Opinion of the Attorney General ON the

Reconstruction Act.
We clip from the Sentinel of Monday the
following summary of the opinion Of Mr..
Stansberry on the Reconstruction Act. We
understand that it is voluminous docu-
ment 1t will appear in full in our next:
1. Persons, in order to registration, must
be citizens of the United States and of the
State.
2. They must be twenty one years Of age
at the date of applying for registration.
g. Militia and municipal officers before
the war, who engaged in rebellion, are not
DISTINGUISHED.
4. The terms Judicial, Legislative and
Executive" officers who are disqualified,
certainly embrace the higher order of such
officers, who were such before the war, as,
for instance, under the head of Judicial,
Judges; under the head of Legislative,
members, but not subordinates; under the
head of Executive, Governor, Treasurer, Au-
dltor, Secretary, sc.
5. Besides these there are large number
of officers, whose status is in some way to be
defined" such as Sherifs. Justices of Coun-
ty Courts" &C., who have jurisdiction over
but County, and yet Others whose jurisdic-
ton is restricted to the smallest civil sub
divisions. The Attorney General has order
ed abstracts to be prepared for each of the
States, showing the character, &C., of these
officers, and he reserves until then an opin-
ion as to which are, and which are not, dis
franchised.
6. Engaging in the rebellion means di-
rect, overt act,-not common acts of human
ity or charity. Subscriptions to Confeder,
ate loans, and voluntary contributions in
aid of the government, however. viii dis
qualify, when the party had previously ia
ken the oath, in any of the prescribed OH
cial capacities, to support the Constitution
of the United States. ..5..
Z. &c. too, the performance of official du.
ties during the war, not incident to the war
but in preservation of order and the admin
istration ofjustice, was not engaging IL
| the rebellion"

The Presidents Visit.


It seems to be certain that President
johnson will visit Raleigh next week, to be
present at the dedication of the monument
to his father, Jacob johnson.
1t is understood he will leave Washington
on Saturday, so as to reach here on Monday.
But this arrangement may be changed. The
dedication may be on Wednesday, the 9Th,
instead of Tuesday, the 4th, as heretofore an
nounced. But we presume due notice will
be given. 81
The President will also visit Chapel Hill,
and be present on Thursday, Commencement
Day.
He will be received here by the authorities,
to wit, the Mayor and Commissioners, the
Governor, and the Military.

Republican Meetings.


Pursuant to previous notice large num-
Der of people assembled at Lashley's Cross
Roads, twenty one miles west of Raleigh, on
the 25th instant, when, on motion, ]. W.
Collins was called to the Chair, Henry Smith
and Jacob Wilson were appointed Vice
Presidents, and l. H. Collins was appointed
Secretary. z.l
The meeting was then addressed at con-
siderable length, in an able and eloquent
manner, by Ex-Governor Holden and Mr.
James Fl. Harris. They were followed by
Mr.. Henry Smith and Mr.. James Jones, who
avowed their warm attachment to the Re
publican party, and entertained the meeting
at some length with appropriate remarks.
The following Resolutions, reported by a
committee consisting of Il. G. Lashley, w.
81. Bennett, T. B. Barker, Merrill Olive W.
T. Gunter, Willis Byrd, Nathan Coar, Amos
Byrd, G.. Evans, and Thomas Wilson, were
unanimously adopted

the Union once more floats over the whole
country, and we trust the day is not distant
when Secession and Treason will be forever
buried, and the Union restored on the broad
basis of liberty and justice to all.
ResoIced, That we are well pleased with
the acts of Congress to reconstruct the
Southern States, and we are ready and will
ling as loyal citizens to do all in our power
to give effect to those acts. But wefeel bound
to say, from observation and experience, that
it is necessary, in order to secure the recon-
struction of this State on thoroughly loyal
basis, that the existing rebel State organiza-
ton should be abolished.
Resolced, That it seems hard that, as loyal
citizens, we are taxed to support and keep
in existence State organization, through
which rebels and persons disaffected to the
government are permitted to rule over us,
| and at the same time to obstruct theswOrk
of reconstruction.
ResolUed, That we avow our warm and I'M
alterable attachment to the Republican party
| of the United States, and look to that party
as the only hope for liberty and good gov
eminent in this country
Resolced, That we cordially endorse the
action of the Republican Convention held in
Raleigh on the 9th of March last
Resolued, That the course of the North
Carolina Standard. in advocating the unity

their indefatigable efforts to maintain and
perpetuate Liberty and Equal Rights to all
Resoloed, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the Standard. and other loyal pa
pers be requested to copy.

A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY
WALTHAM, MASS.

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than a million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce Is 900 Watches
year, and make and sell not less than half of all
the watches sold in the United States
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this: European Watches
are made almost entirely By hand. and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct timekeeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except the
watches of the higher grades, European watches
arr the product of the cheapest labor of Switzer-
land, and the result is the worthless Ancres, Le-
pines and so-called Patent Levers-which soon
cost more in attempted repairs, than their orig
inal price. Common workmen, boys and women,
buy the rough separate parts OF these watches
from various factories, polish and put them to-
gether, and take them to the nearest watch mer-
chant, who stamps and engraves them with any
name or brand that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the Compauy's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
parts are all made by the finest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid oil
human industry. Every one of the more than q
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infalliblJ reproduces every succeed
ing part with the most unvarying accuracy. It
was only necessary to make one perfect watch of
any particular style and then to adjust the hun
dred machines necessary to reproduce every part
ofthat watch, and it follows that every succeeding
watch must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits, only. They claim to make
BETTER ARTICLEF Or THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
TEN. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from a good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases but the
indispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERs. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named Home Watch Company, Boston,"
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the Company or Its agents.

By the acts herewith presented, it will be'

that they will from year to year and from
age to age contribute to the peace, progress
and prosperity of the State and of the coun

of the laws pissed by Congress, there viii
