againstits outraged umptions-denying
the right of the Sentinel to speak for or
bind the Conservative party to such plan
of persecution-social outlawing and busi-
ness non-intercourse, but not one word that
we know Of has been uttered in reprobatlon.
The kindred papers are silont-the mer-
chants and mechanics of that party in our
cities have not denounced this usurpation OF
authority "Silence gives consent" it is
said, and it remains for the Republicans to
understand now precisely what IS the attl-
tude of the Democratic Conservative Rebel
party towards them. and forthwith prepare
to rueet the issue with all the resources and
ability at their command. Republicans now
have no alternative. Itis not allowed them
to cease from partZan bitterness. They
cannot live in peace while they cultivate
Union and quiet. They must act N the de-
fensive, and that not MS politicians but as
men, as citizens and rs Christians. Under
these circumstances, it is important for the
friends of the Union-for Republicans to
act adviscdiy and in concert all over the
State, and indeed all over the Union. 1t
is really question now not OF politics only,
but of actual existence. The rallying cry is
now one of extirpation from the soil of our
State and the struggle is for life and all that
makes life valuable to freemen. But let us
recall the terms of Pcll's edct. "We
must taboo and ignore all apostates to their
color and kindred. We must give the pre-
ference in all our business transactions to
merchants traders, mechanics and laborers
who stood by their race and friends in the
late struggle" The italics are ours, and we
see only one difficulty in this pretty scheme
of devlism. 1t will be no trouble to Req.
Pell to distinguish his friends by race and
rp1or l,nt WI he CrpfS tO the EInCra6O
he will be * in a peck of trouble" A very
large majority of the "kindred" of his
friends are not of his color, and are not
Rebels. Surely, Rev. Editor of the Sentinel,
that was a most unfortunate word. How
could you so far forget yourself as to use
that word kindred" when you knew that
the {" ace" on whom you called to ignore and
taboo, would thus be compelled to outlaw
and taboo their own sons, grandsons, half
brothers, nephews and cousins, as another
color and mixed race, but not by the inexor-
able law of God, "kindred." nevertheless
1t is wicked exceedingly wicked, parson
Pell, thus to array and embitter kindred"
OF the same blood against each other. Yet
you have done it in your unnatural edict.-
But white Republicans have not this peculiar
misceganative relationship to impede their
action in the duty now before them. And
the colored Republicans will be faithful to
that " race" of " color" of their kindred"
that never oppressed and degraded them by
their cruelty and lusts.
1. Then this is not political contest
Parson Pel has just been defeated by 10000
Republican ma jority and would wage for
while another war. But Republicans. be
sure to keep up your organization. Do not
abate in vigilance.
2. This is not contest of arms. Parson
Pell has wholesome dread of Yankee mus
kets, and does not now seek to provoke Re-
publicans to a fight of this kind but Re-
publicans should not trust the men who
having once proven traitors still persist to
oppose the United States government. 1t is
well to be ready, and if we should ever
again sleep, let it be on our arms. Do not
forget Fort Pillow nor Andersonville.
8. 1t is not n war for patronage That is
gone, Parson Pell knows. But Republicans,
we have the assurance of our noble chief in
his late grand Editorial, that the patronage
of this State shall be bestowed to the ad-
vantage of the Republican laborer and Re-
publican interests. 1t must reward the
friends of the Union, preserve liberty, feed
the poor and lead the State back toRrospsE
ity and the honest administration Of itSaf-
fairs. Surely the victorious Republican
party will see to it that the men, white or
black, who were true to themselves, their
country and freedom shall not suffer from
aristocratic tabooing.
4. But it is war on business You shall
not buy of or sell to Republicans. You
shall not employ or reward Republican la
borers. This is the war. Republicans, we
must accept it. In Wilmington, Newbern,
Beaufort Washington, Fayetteville, Raleigh,
Greensboro. Salisbury and Charlotte All
over the State this is our doom. 1t is inten-
ded to ruin us in our business, to starvc US
and our families, but it is a game two can
play at. BY all that we hold dear, by all
the pledges of freemen let US stand by each
other. This is the hour of our trial This
bitter and disappointed yell from doomed
traitors cannot affect the hearts of the 10O-
600 Republican voters of North Carolina
we must now from this day, and henceforth
"give the preference in all our business
transactions to merchants, traders, mechan-
les and laborers," who stood by the old flag
and the party of the Union. Where we have
no merchants, let US invite Republican men
to settle among us while we pledge them our
"preference." Let us encourage only Re-
publican mechanics though we have to i'm
port them or go miles for our work Be
sure to employ only laborers that never
finched 1t is the ban of our enemies, let
us now live under it, Buy not-sell not
borrow not-lend not-rent not-labor not
of political opponent. This is the order
strength of those who are right, and trust in
the God of justice. 1t is our policy to In
vite capital, to encourage manufactures, to
press forward our Railroads, to multiply de-
mands for labor in every section of the State
5. This is a social ban For this, the
honest and pure yeomanry of North Carroll
ma care not a jot. The Republicans will
soon create their own society official posi-
tion and capital will not need mourn for
want of the society of effete arstocrats
The occasional glimpses the Republicans
get oft now when the curtain is lifted from
its secrets by the late bondsmen does not
present it in view that makes it inviting
or that will cause any regrets on account Of
the social ban by the innocent and the pure
in the Republican ranks. Our information
is that the bull of Bro. Pell is already being
carried into effect
1t is trying ordeal, and let the leaders of
the Republican party send forth the watch
word and prove themselves equal to the trial
thrust upon us. Begin in Raleiqh under
