Grant and Colfax in Burke.

Alta large and enthusiastic meeting of tic Re:
publicans of Burke county, held in Silver Creek
District on Saturday the 5th of September, 1868,
James H. Hall, Esq, was called to the chair and
L. A. Taylor was appointed Secretary.
Lieut.. Gov. Todd R. Caldwell being present,
was called upon for speech, and for two hours
he chained the attention of the audience with one
of the most telling and effective speeches ever
delivered In Western N. Carolina. By turns he
had the crowd wild with enthusiasm, and then,
when he depicted the horrors of the late war and
tine psospect OF one still more bloody and devas-
ting in the event of seymour's and Blair's cleo.
ton, the crowd was bathed in tears. Such a
speech is seldom heard in this country, and it
opened the eyes of the honest yeomanry to the
Immediate danger which environs them.
After he finished his address, one hundred and
fifteen voters jo;aed the Grant and Colfax Club,
(many had joined before,) the larger portion of
whom were whites. There was not single vo-
ter present who did not determine to give IN
earnest and hearty support to the Republican
candidates. although a good many came to the
meeting undetermined what was best to be
done.
Delegates were appointed to represent Burke
county in the Convention to be held in Raleigh
on the 10th inst.

Loyal Men of North Carolina.

You have but few weeks to work. On
the 3rd OF next November it will be known
whether you have saved this nation from a
dcsolating war as much more horrible in all
its aspects than the last one, as that was
more horrible than all preceding ones. We
tell you in all truth and sobcrncss that WAR
is inevitable if Seymour and Blair are elect
cd that the Rebel Democratic party is bent
upon overthrowing the present State govern
ments in the South; is determined to re en-
slave the colored man; is preparing to levy
a tax for the Confederate debt; is secretly
at work to reduce the poor white man to
condition of serfdom; is organizing pow
erful party in favor Of a monarchial form of
government with an aristocracy composed of
the original cnnspirators against the life of
the old Union; is intrigueins with foreign
governments to break mp this great nation,
now first class political and military power
respected and feared all over the world, re-
duce it to confederacy of petty States, and
present a condition Of Society compared with
which Mexico will seem paradise; and is
pledged to the Emperors and Kings Of Eu-
rope to make Republican forms of govern
ment odious, and this, the greatest of polit-
lcal experiments, failure in the eyes of all
the enlightened and philosophical statesmen
and philanthropists of the age.
This, loyal men of North Carolina, is
what your ballots on the 3rd of next No
vember will prevent or inaugurate. We do
not appeal simply to those who were loyal
during the war, and skulked in woods and
caves to escape from the conscript officer;
we appeal, also, to thousands who composed
the rank and file Of the Confederate army,
and were led to fight against the old flag
through specious arguments and base mis-
representations.
When we use the word Rebel, we mean the
leaders and ARISTOCRATS of the South,
and no one else. The MASSES we hold
GUn.TLEss. They simply need to be en-
ightened to act right. But the leaders,
knowing the right, choose the wrong in Or
der that they may rise into seats Of despotic
power on the PROSTATE hodies and souls of
the people To the rank and file of the
Confederate army, therefore; to the loyal
whites who would not be driven or forced
to fight against their common country to
the free colored men; to emancipated ne
groes to all who constitute the great peo-
pie of the South in contradistinction from
| that class known as the Southern oligarchy,
we make this appeal to join the party
through which alone their rights can be Sc
cured, their property protected and nation
built up which their children and their
| children's children will glory and take pride
in for countless generations to come.

country. Our educators are at fault, and SO
serious are the results, that legislation may
become necessary to check the evil, and stay
the stream of poison that is annually injected
into tue hearts of the rising generation.
Our chartered colleges should all be loyal
and in harmony with the noble spirit of this
grand century.
Time and space forbid review of half
the enormities and mGnstrous crimes of those
who are at present hostile to genuine Re
publican government. When we see them
prescribing men for an honest difference of
opinion-not only in the social circle, but in
institutions of learning and the holy sanctu-
ary-assailing private character. and even
robbing the new made grave of its honored
dead, and holding their political canivals
in the cl,arnel house, led ON by minister of
the gospel, who charges in6delity and Ger
man transcendcntalism upon better men,
we can find no language strong enough to
express our condemnation, and can only
stand above, and peering, pcering far down
into the dark, unfathomable abyss of their
infamy and degradation and crime, exclaim,
Lo, the depth

Another War Certain if Seymour and
Blair should be Elected.

The issue now before the people is just
what 1t was in 1861. 1t is Peace or Var!
In 1861 the Rebel Secessionists of this
State declared the election Of Mr.. Lincoln
unconstitutional, and that they would not
submit to it. They resisted, and the result
was uar. They now declare the rcconstruc-
ton acts passed by Congress, and the State
government of North Carolina formed under
those acts, unconstitutional. They say that,
if Seymour and Blair should be elected, they
will resist these acts and restore things as
they were under Gov. Vance. If they resist,
we shall have war, and the war will he the
result of their action, as it was in 1861.
These same rebel secessionists told the
people in 1861 there would be no war.
They tell them the same thing now. A Mr..
Merrimon, who spoke night or two since
in the Courthouse in this city, said that as
soon as Seymour and Blair should be inau-
gurated Gov. Holden, the heads of depart
ments, the legislature, the judges, and all
the present State officers would retire, and we
should have peaceable rebel restoration
These secessonlsts told the people the same
thing in 1861 in relation to Mr.. Lincoln.
They said he would not dare to coerce a
State; that it was only necessary to show
bold front to intimidate him; and that
after battle or two, at most, he would agree
to let the Southern States go and set up a
separate government for themselves.
Well, the people remember how that was
No one has yet forgotten the false prophets
of that day. The people were in
volved in war before they knew it,
and terribly have they paid for it.
The same men are preaching resistance to
lawful authority who preached it in 1851.
They say they car. overturn State govern
ment peaceably, and push State out of its
place in the Union. If they believe it, what
fools! If they do not believe it, what des-
perate knaves!
If Seymour and Blair should be elected,
and this Mr.. Merrhnon should ask the pre-
ooi's OeotO oiiiSChs W ICIiiC pcdCcdDIy, Cucy
would laugh at him. If lie should resort to
force to effect their removal, he would soon
find himself arrested, tried for treason and
executed So much for Mr. Merrimon. That
would be the last OF him.
Let the people 6e0are! We are as near
bloody war at this moment as VIC were in
November 1860. And for what? "Hear it,
Oh Heaven, ard give ear, Oh Earth for
no other reason than that the leaders of the
Rebel party deem it more advantageous to
themselves and their families that Governor
Worth or Governor Vance should hold the
offices than that Governor Holden and his
friends should hold theml That is all.
Are the people going to war about that 2
Not if they can help it, but the danger. is
they will be involved in war by thees leaders
before they know it. Bear in mind, and
tell it everywhere, that to vote for Grant and
Colfax is to vote for PEACE; and that
every vote for Sey mour and Blair will be
vote for WAR. ui-2 i.ii e y
