He is Conservative, do not trust him.
He is an enemy to the Republican party.
When you hear man say he belongs to
no party, do not trust him. He is an enemy
to the Republican party.
When you hear man say he is Union
list or Republican and at the same time he
says he will not serve the Republican party
or submit to its organization, do not trust
him. He is an enemy to the Republican
party, and is preparing to betray it into the
hands of the rebels.
When you hear man say he is for
white mans party, and that a war of races
is about to take place, do not trust him, for
he is q murderer at heart There can be no
war of races unless the rebels begin to shoot
the white and colored Republicans without
provocation, as they did in Memphis and
New Orleans.
| Trust no man unless you k,aoao he is a Re
publican. A Republican believes in and en-
deavors to secure the equal political and
civil rights of the white and colored. A
acts, and sustains the Congress. A Repub-
lican stands on the platform of the State
Convention, as adopted in March and Sep
TENDER, and does not attempt to take from
or add to that platform. A Republican
does not assail or abuse such sterling patri-
OTIS as Thaddeus Stevens A Republican
does not attempt to make friends among
rebels by deserving his own party friends. =
A Republican does not apologize for the
traitor, Andrew johnson.
If man tells you he has good record as
a Republican, say to him you are glad to
hear it, and that you hope he will sustain
with the Republican party. The Jews boast
ed to the Saviour that they had Abraham
for their father but he answered them thus !:
eff ye were Abraham's children, ye would
do the works of Abraham" Judas Iscariot
was so trusted that he was treasurer to the
Saviour and his disciples, but this man, with
so good record, betrayed his master
with kiss, and sold him for thirty pieces
of silver. Benedict Arnold was honored as
the best and bravest officer under WASHING
TON, until, in an evil hour, he took the bride
OF British gold and sunk himself in infamy
forever. Records in themselves are nothing
If man be not now Republican and
thoroughly with his party, he is not to be
trusted.
These are times to try mems souls. The
country is in great peril. The liberties and
the lives OF the true Union men of North
Carolina of both races, are trembling in the
scale. If the so-called Conservatives with
Andrew johnson at their head, should pre-
vail, these liberties will be lost. The white
Unionists will be degraded to the level of
the former free negroes of North Carolina,
and the colored people will be trampled un-
der foot and treated like the beasts that per-
ish. Let the Republicans every where be
warned in time. Let them work necessarily
to reconstruct the State and carry it back to
the Union on a loyal basis. No man is their
friend who is not openly and thoroughly
with them. In order to secure success they
must MAINTAIN their organization, and to do
this they must strike down disorganizers
and malcontents as fast as they show their
heads. The Great A1my of Freedom must
not be embarrassed by croakers against dis
cipline or fomenters of discord among the
rank and file. ...
Finally, when you hear man say he is
for the proposed rebel State Convention to
be held in this City on the 10Th of October,
put him down as an enemy to reconstruction,
as an enemy to the colored race, as tool of
the President and as traitor who only
awaits an opportunity to resist the authori-
ty of Congress by force of arms, and thus
involve the people In another bloody aoar!
Of such beware
