finally. We must go back to the Union at all
hazards. We aiU go back. He who hesi-
tates will be left in the rear with the useless
rubbish Of the past, and he who gets in the
way OF this movement will be destroyed
We are not mistaken. We speak advisedly.
Republicans Union men who have borne
the heat and burden of the day, I" lift up
your heads, for your redemption draweth
nigh" The Union will be speedily restored
on loyal basis, business will revive, pros
perity will return to us, and we shall again
be happy people under the old flag.
The Sentinel misrepresents and asperses
Col. David Heaton, Col. ]. T. Deweese, G. ].
Cowles, Esq, and Mr.. James b. Harris, be-
cause in accordance with the request of the
Republican meeting held here on the 4th,
they have visited Washington to look after
the interests of the loyal people of this
State. These gentlemen need no vindication
at our hands against these aspersions. Their
business is legitimate and proper, and the
fact that they are assailed by the disunion
organ of Gov. Worth is the best evidence of
their honesty, integrity and loyalty.
The writer of this article in the Sentinel
thought it all very well that Gov. Worth
and special committee should visit Wash
ington some months since, at the public es-
pense. to endeavor to induce the authorities
to continue the use of the cowhide in North
Carolina. This was noble business in the
estimation of the Sentinel But that paper
is lowering its stone in one respect. When
certain loyal gentlemen about the same time
visited Washington, to urge the Congress to
abolish the existing State government, the
Sentinel called on the grand juries to indict
them for treason; and one of its fuglemen in
the Legislature (Mr. 10 Davis,) limited that
they ought to be whipped and pilloried.-
Now, however, the Sentinel only misrepre-
sents and abuses. It is learning its lessons
slowly. In the course of six months more
the Editors of that exponent of treason will
be as abjectly humble as they were in June,
1866, when they ate dirt by the bushel. Let
them eat it. 1t may do them good.
| The Sentinel at length opens on James H.
Harris. It calls him ''blackbird," and
says t,o much attention has been paid him
by its leading friends. As long as that pa
| per thought it could influence and use Mr..
Harris, it praised him. Finding that Mr..
Fl. is an infexible Republican, it now assails
and abuses him. Some months since Mr..
Pell offered to support Mr.. Harris for the
Convention in this County, if he would run
as an independent candidate" Mr.. Pell
has denied this, but he knew he filled when
he did it. Well, Mr. Harris did not bite at
the bait. Next, Mr. Pell, not knowing what
to do with, or how to do without Mr.. Har-
ris, urged him to accept the post of Minister
to Hayti. Mr. Harris did not bite at that
bait, and SO Mr.. Pell, losing all patience,
rolls up his sleeves and pitches in to him" "
James H. Harris will survive all this, and
will enjoy the confidence of the honest, re-
spectacle, and worthy portion of our people
long after Mr.. Pellwith his disunion Sentinel
shall have been forgotten, or remembered
only as Wirz, Winder, Arnold, Booth, Suratt
| and Burr are remembered.
| Turning His Gun Upon HIMSELF
The Editor of the Wilmington Journal,
having apparently lost his balance, thus de-
scribes himself in his last issue:
"When men are determined upon shame
less course of Misrepresentation to accom-
plish certain ends for "party purposes" it is
useless to read them moral lessons or give
| good advice" s4 sg.r., 4s..
Let no one, therefore, read moral lessons
or give good advice 10 the Editor of the
Journal It will be breath thrown away.
| He adds: .,.sa-
"To expose their falsehoods and hold
them up to public scorns is the only way
honorable men can meet their attacks"
Exactly. Let the Editor of the Journal
be treated accordingly. Z r. +. !.
He adds: $3.50 ~,
We certainly have the utmost contempt
for those who lose no opportunity to injure
their State to promote the interest of their
party" 0,aee 81 e ia.
| Very exactly. The utmost contempt
would not reach the Editor of the Journal.
Try something else on him.
| He finally adds: ssta Ia .ss. 81;

4 So mote it bei--Sentinel sss
The prayer of the Sentinel that the nation
al government may be destroyed, will not
be answered. It not only has athe power''
but the right" to govern. tits "ordained
of God, !" and they who resist it, or pray for
its destruction, are under the curse of God.
The prayers of some people ascend no
higher than their heads. To them the sky
is as brazen as their traitorous foreheads.
