point to.the fact that the Republican. party
North has always done justice to the me-
clanic and the laborer, and that labor is
most honored, and the mechanic arts -four
ish most in States whose affairs are admins
tered by the Republican party. "By their
fruits shall We know them" The same will
he the case under Republican rule in North
Carolina. Labor will be honored, and the
Workingmen of the State will find in the
Republican party their real and their only
friend

We have seldom heard of a more pacific senti-
| ment than the one uttered by him on the Square
yesterday afternoon. In the course OF speech
made there to one of the largest assembages of
negroes We have ever seen there, he went on
with lot of clap-trap concerning threats and
endeavors that had been made to kill him. He
said that in one letter the following had oc-
| Cured: " If you do not leave by Wednesday
night, You will be shot do not wish to see
you die So but if you do not leave will kill you,
you id old helcat." But" said the "old
cuss," g will not leave, for don't you know,
fellow-citizens, that when the assassin's bullet
| passes through my brain, or his dagger touches
my heart. more than one white man will fall upon
| This received with loud cries of eyes"
and other demonstrations of approval.-Richnaond

The above is a specimen of the fairness
and justice shown by the Rebel press of Vlr-
gina. Mr.. Hunnicutt is threatened with as
sassination. He refers to the fact and very
naturally declares that if he is assassinated
his death will he avenged; and for this he is
ridiculed, and denounced as an "incendiary'
and an "old cuss' These bloody Rebels
who conscripted, handcuffed and murdered
thousands of their own countrymen in an
unholy war, now claim the right to rule and
the privilege of assassinating their oppo-
nents the Republicans; and if this claim to
rule and assassinate is resisted, they pro-
nounce the man who resists an incendiary."
The Rebel leaders of Richmond have also
forged letters and published them, contain
ing warnings from black men to white men
to leave the City on account OF their politi-
cal opinions. We learn that Mr. Conway
addressed several thousands OF the colored
people of Richmond few days since, and
asked them if any of them had thus threat
ened white men. They answered No! with
one voice. He then asked them if any of
them approved such warnings. They an
swered No ! in tones of thunder 1t is the
old story of the wolf and the lamb. The lamb
was drinking from the stream, and the wolf
was drinking from the spring that made the |
stream. The wolf asked the lamb how it |
dared to muddle the water? The lamb re- |
piled that it was not doing SO, as the water
ran from the wolf to it. 6 1t makes no diff
ference" said the wolf. "Your father did
me an injury twelve months ago, and you
must atone for it." And with that he sprang
on the lamb and devoured it.
The tone of the Rebel papers of the South
clearly shows that if the Rebel leaders dared
to do it, they would commence at once to
murder the negroes and white Republicans
But, thank God these Rebels are poweriess.
1t will be the boundea duty of our loyal peo-
pie so to tie their hands as to protect them
selves, and at the same time promote quiet
and good order in the State. A tiger that
has roamed at large, tearing all in its path,
and which still exhibits its old passion for
blood, must be Gagged. And so this Devil of
must be Gagged. 1t is going to be
lone 1t will be done in the interest of
Deaee, and for the good of the whole people.
