YOUR White IlleiltlS VI lliC Pa ~
Tomake the necessity Of such actionon your
part the more plain, will introduce fable,
fAnsold man, when about to die, called his
sons around him and told each one to BRING
him rod Now, says he, break your rods,
and they all snapped them at once once. Then
he told them to get each one another rod
and bind them all together. Z" Break them
now if you CAM says he, and they tned to
do SO but failed. So, my colored friends, if
in the present campaign you all vote as one
man, you will gain the day and the Repub-
lican party will be victorious (Applause.)
Judge Barnes tells you that Mr.. Cobb was
not the choice of the Republican Nominating
Convention, but he tells you Mr.. French was
the choice of that Convention. He wants
YOU to drop both French and Cobb and vote
for him.. He claims too to havemore ability
than Mr.. Cobb. I tell you G. L. Cobb is
full grown man in every respect, and one too
devoted to the interests of Republican free
dom. He was the first man who made a
Union speech in his native county after the
close of the war. He was a Republican IN
1865, when it took more nerve to stand up
, for the principles of that party in the South
than in 1868. He never sold his Republi-
canbirthright for mess ofSeymour pottage."
He was never d member of the Know Moth
ing party, as my friend Judge Barnes once
was but he has ever been the bold defender
of the sacred principles Of truth, justice and
right. (Applause.) h = 4
Now wish to say a few words to the
Peace men of Chowan county. The Demo-
Gratis mean war. Blair's letter, the Demo-
cratic platform, the Press and the Seymour
orators, Gov. Worth and President johnson
all endorse the war policy of the Demo-
cratic Party. We, fellow,citizens, have seen
enough of War and we have no use for Sey-
mour and Blair. Great applause.l We
have around US wasted fields, and an impov-
/ erished country. Starvation and beggary
stare us in the face, if we longer continue in
an unsettled condition. Then let us all join
| hands for the improvement of our condition.
! If we show a desire to 'aceept the situation"
| capital will flow in upon us and the waste
places will be rebuilt. Our State govern
ment viii be in harmony with the national
government. Gallant deeds will be a COM
mon heritage; the soldier who fought IN
the Union armies and the soldier who as
bravely hattled for the cause of the South
can stand side by side and be equally proud
to build up and restore the government our
fathers loved In case of d foreign war the
soldier of Gen. Grants army and the soldier
of Gen. Lees army could go side by side in
defence of freedoms soil.
Our Republic must be preserved. The
men OF the North are standing up boldly in
defence ofthe Union! Shall we of the South
forget the magnanimity of Gen. Grant?
Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Ohio
have spoken in thunder tones in favor of
Republican liberty. The cause of Freedom
and the names of Grant and Colfax are be-
ing nobly upheld by the American people.
In November next the voice of millions
will be heard in favor of Grant and Colfax
and Peace. The voice of appreciation first
coming from Maine will be heard to the
Cult of Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Let us do our whole duty, and
North Carolina will take as noble stand
for Grant and Colfax as any of her sister
