The North Carolina senators,

Yesterday Messrs. Pool and Abbott, the new
Senators from North Carolina, qualified and took
their seats. These are the ripe frutslof health
full reconstruction, at once the promise OF a bet
ter future-both sterling Union men, in hearty
sympathy with the great Republican party.
Wisely has North Carolina acted in these cleo
tions to the Senate. John Pool is native of the
State, perhaps fifty years of age, of fine native
powers, good culture, and most thoroughly
gentleman. He has been much in public life,
and in immediate years before the war was the
eloquent leader OF the old whig party OF North
Carolina. Mr.. Pool is both lawyer and planter
in the rich county of Pasquotank, and through
the war was the fearless friend of the Union.
Welcome thrice welcome such man to the Sen
ate Thrice welcome home, this ancient State,
when she comes marching back under such lead
ership!
Joseph C. Abbott was general of the Federal
army, whose good sword flashed in many gal
liant fight He Twas i'm at the taking of Fort
Fisher, and led bis brigade amid the thickest OF
its iron hail. And being on duty in North Caro-
lima when the war closed, he made that tine
old State his adopted home, and has since
Seen extensively engaged in numbering 10
the county of aden, close down upon the South
Carolina line, where bis enterprise has built o
smart town. Mr.. Abbott was elected lawyer,
but for the ten years previous to the war was
well known in New England as the editor OF one
OF their leading papers. ne Is IN tne prine 80 W
is native OF New Hampshire, o the best furl
tanic blood, and in both body and mind, Ike Mi
native hills, granite to the foundation.
Right worthy of the grand occasion is this ac-
| tion by the Legislature of North Carolina, 1t II
| an assurance of their healthful Reconstruction n
1t is the dove with the olye-branch telling OF tn
| subsding OF the turbulent waters Of rebellion
| 1t is brave advance upon the good way which
leads to prosperity and honor, and may heavel
| grant to this ancient State and all her peopl
| who love peace, liberty and Union, an abundanc
OF both.-Natioaal Republicaa.

BURKE Co., N. c., July Is, 1865


Nessrs. Editors: Believing that the Standard
will pursue the same bold, patriotic course for
which it has sOiOng been proverbial, now drop
you few lines, wishing its present proprietors
the great success and reputation OF its former
proprletors. am glad to See lying at its mast
head the names of our gallant heroes, Grant and
ColtaX tor President and Vice President. West
ern, N. c. is fully aroused Grant and ColfaX
meetings are being held throughout the various
counties. The good, true and Union-lOving peo-
pie OF this section are vide awake, and think
we can safely count on forty thousand majority
for the hero of the Union. Poor old Seymour
can't come it. The Conservatives (so-caled)
give it up They wanted PendletOn, Chase, Han
cock, Hendricks d Co.-never once thought of
poor old Gov. Seymour.
Weare pleased with Gov Holden's inaugural
address, and the speeches of 1t. Gov. Caldwell,
Judge Reid and Attorney General Coleman. Our
Legislators are progressing with its arduous du-
ties finely. Let them organize the free school
system, keeping the two races separate, but do
justice to both races also. Organize the militia
at once, arm and equip the loyal portion of them
and all will be we'll.
Some of the rebels are still rampant and defiant,
bnt | am glad to say there is quite change COM
ing over the spirit of their dreams. great
many of them are seeing the error of their way
and are falling into line with the Republicans
Let them continue to come and 20 with us and
We will do them good.
We had quite nice time in Morganton on the
ttu iuSldul. All tuaU IL was gOOQ 10 DC
would write more on this subject, but l see
YOUR correspondent from Morganton has done
justice to the occasion.
We hope Gov. Holden will at once make the
appointment of magistrates Tor this county.
Hon. John Pool and Gen. Jos. G. Abbott are
U. s. Senators. These are good men. look
upon John Pool as one OF our best men, General
Abbott is a talented man. and worthy the high
and honorable position to which he has been
called.
We hope the Legislature will change the sys-
TEN OF keeping up the public roads of the S'ate
ing them up by general taxation. Let the most
practicable routes be surveyed, and contracts of
sections be let to the lowest bidder, &c. This
would always insure us good roads, and think
the people -ould preferit to the old system.
The weather is remarkably warm, and we are
needing rain badly Corn looks tOlerably WE'LL
the health OF the country is very good.

Mr.. Gunter then spoke at some length favoring
the resolutions, imploring the lovers of civil lib
erty everywhere to stand like "wall of fire" for
the Chicago nominees, then closed his remarks
by informing the assembly that we were sat home
again." which was greeted with round of ap-
plause, after which the meeting adjourned with
the best of feelings for him who said "Let us

There is time when trifing should cease.
There is point in the history of nations
when their salvation demands the unsparing
use of the sword. When rebellion struck
its knife at the life 0. the Tepuhlic, the esword
was called into service. No sacrifice would
have been too costly to have maintained our
unity and integrity. That unity and integ
rity was maintained, and thank God, the
nation still survives. This nation is again
threatened. But the danger is in the Gis-
tance. There is but dim spcck of war in
the horizon. The atmosphere is but slightly
tainted with the smell of sulphur But how
soon can the cloud, but the size of mans
hand. swell with the rapidity of the Eastern
tornado, and envelop us in the fire and smoke
of gunpowder. Passion still RACES in mad
ness and fury. Reason has not yet resumed
her sway. There are thousands of suilen
and discontented spirits who hope for no
other fortune than death of proud defiance
on the battlefield where they can at least

which consume their souls. 1t is not neces-
sary that the Republican party should repeat
a thousand times that they are the party OF
peace and order. and that they are pledged
to maintenance of the Constitution and the
laws. The Republicans have pIoughed these
lines broad and deep in the history of the
American nation. No party so thoroughly
abhors riot and violence; no party will go to
a more desperate length to perpetuate this
government and maintain the supremacy of
legitimate authority. As public journalists,
we believe that the leaders of the Democratic
party aim to destroy the government by rev.
olution and civil war; We are equally well
satisfied that the loyal men of this nation
will resist this wrong to the bitter end,
Blair's letter is before the people. So is the
Democratic platform. Both mean war.
Grant calls for peace; the Republican party
calls tor peace. This is no vain alarm. Let
the people act as the solemnity of the times
demand.

Rebel Bitterness.

TO any one who is closely observing
passing events and reading the newspapers
OF the day, it is amusing to see the maneu
vering of the Sentinel of this city. With all
its changes and quirks, it is still true to one
thing, and that is, hatred of Republicanism.
Its bitterness is shown from day to day to-
wards every measure which is proposed to
insure order and promote peace in this State.
If colored member of the Legislature, du-
ring the proce' dlngs, happens to vote or act
with the Conservative party, he is immedi-
ately praised and fattered. Could that class
of men be induced, which they never can he.
to act with the Conservatives, so-called. all
would he right. ls
The daily fulminations OF that sheet show
the agony which corrupt and dying aris-
tocracy endures. 1t dies hard. But 90 it
must. Its doom is sealed The first match
which was applied to the cannons bearing
on Fort Sumter settled the fate of slavery,
and slavery going, the proud and bloated
arlstocracy which had always ruled the
South was doomed to follow. The same
spirit is manifested almost daily in the two
branches of the LEGISLATURE Sometimes
the conservative leaders are very plausible,
affable, and quiet. Nome so loyal and TRUE
as they-they have nothing but the gnoa of
the people at heart. But let some measure
be proposed which looks towards keeping
them and their friends out of Power, and

it is nothing hut right for all those who are

vigilant. These men are guilty, and they

The Sentinel in recent issue pleads with
the honest Republicans in the Legislature
not to pass a certain measure We much
prefer that the Sentinel and its crew would
continue its customary epithets, ''scallawag," :"

don't like the whining, piteous appeal to
honest Republicans" The Republicans
can only be damaged by yielding to the
hypocritical cries of our enemies, which like
the mnurnful shrieks of the panther are only
intended to allure the unsuspecting victim
within the reach of its fatal spring.
