The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1868-04-15

The Sentinel goes into virtuous rage
over a Notice said to have been posted IN
Hillsborough, warning one Thomas Green.
colored man, that he would be injured If he
continued socalled Conservative. copy
of the Notice has been shown the military au-
thorities at the suggestion of hypocrite Pell,
of the Sentinel; and the public are informed
that Col. Bomford has commercially" step
ped forward to "detcct" " and punish the
guilty parties concerned in this menace.
Now if we are not mistaken, this same
Thomas Green is the colored man who rides
constantly free of charge up and down the
Central Rail Road, selling the "Holden Re
cord.n If this be so, and this man is thus
encouraged to insult Republicans on the
public cars by thrusting Helpers infamous
sheet in their faces, he must take the conse-
duences.
The Sentinel charges that Republicans are
intimidating colored voters. What bare
faced lie! 1t makes great noise over this
one instance, but it says nothing of the
speeches of Sam Hill and John Kerr, recent
" made in Caswell, in which they advis-
ed landowners to discharge every color
ed man who votes the Republican ticket
Col Bomford is duly informed of this
threat by these traitors, Kerr and Hill.-
He is also informed, as we learn, that col
ored families have already been turned
off on account of their opinions, and he
has been earnestly told by a worthy citizen
of that County that there is no free speech
in Caswell, and that there Can be no free
election there, if he does not send troops to
that County. Has he sent the tr0opss Is he go
ING to doit? He has promptly acted in the
case of Green. That case was brought to his
attention by Conservatives. We do not like
this strainlng at gnats and swallowing cam
els. Again, the Mayor of Fayetteville, a
loyal man, has asked for protection. VIII
he act it? COL Bomford also knows-for he
has the paper before his eyes in this City
that the North CarOginian has assaiied the
action of Gen. Canby, in giving validity to
an ordinance of the Convention to prevent
the intimidation of voters, as "contcmptible
and ridiculous as "a wanton abuse of
power "-as "conniving" as "a willing
tool " with the Convention in its mean
ness" to prevent the intimidation of voters;
and finally, that this paper, printed under
his very nose, winds up by advising the peo-
ple of the State " not to he intimidated by
such military and loyal bombast, but DIS
REGARD it, by using every fair means at
their command to defeat the damnable and
contemplate Vaccinations ofCanby and the
Convention" He has valuable time to spare
to devote to an anonymous Notice to one
Thomas Green but nothing is done for
the loyal people of Caswell-nothing for
Fayetteville, and no notice is taken of
paper, with its Editors name de-
family flying at its masthead, which
insults his commander, and calls upon the
people to DISREGARD HIS ORDERS!-
We do not want Col. Bomford to be a Re
publican. we do not need his vote All
we ask of him is to frown on rebels and
traitors, and show warm side to loyal men,
as Sherman and Logan did when they were
here ....I-
Old Mr.. Pell, and Tom Bragg, and drunken
Bill Jenkins, and Bob Mclean, and Zeb
Vance, and the whole pack of traitors may
bark and howl-and narrow-minded tyrants |
of few acres may browbeat and drive from |
their premises the poor colored people, be-
cause they, the colored people, love the Union
and the flag, but the Republicans aoiU stMhi-
umph and loyal men by the grace of God
WILL GOVERN THIS COUNTRY. Push
on the column, boys! Weight againstprinci-
palities and powers but zee ,1fght to aoin.-
OUR LIVES AND LIBERTIES ARE AT |
STAKE. All that we have is at issue
If we fail, our condition will be indescri-
hably horrible. But we will not fail
Vote, # you starce far it.! Vote, If 1T be
g'~r last act in this UOrM. Vote. or per-
