There was an enthusiastic Republican turnout
at Holly Springs, on Saturday last About one
thousand people were present. Mr.. Norris pre-
sided .s .,. .....I.....r .....
Hon. John T. Deweese, Representative in Con-
gress from the fourth district, was first intro
duced. He raised the enthusiasm OF the crowd
to high pitch, and held their breathless atten-
tion until the very close of his remarks. The
heartless policy of the Ku-KluX leaders, in at
tempting to build up their lost cause by the aid
of the men who haye received their liberty and
the ballot in spite Of the oaths and the bayonets
of that party, was held up in all its horrd de-
formity. The Democrats who were present were
compelled to admit the truth of his statements,
and the force of his arguments.
James Fl. Harris, of Wake county, followed in
speech that kept up the enthusiasm to the last.
He paid glowing tribute to the genius and kind
spirit of Gen. Grant, and predicted that under the
lead of this friend of peace and liberty, the work
ingmen of this country would begin course of
happiness and prosperity Lever known in the
world before. He appealed to his hearers, as
they remembered the dark days of their former
degradation, as they knew the falsehood of the
promises made by the Democratic leaders, as they
valued the priceless boon of liberty which they
now possess, and as they love their children and
desire their future happiness, to vote for Grant
and Colfax. A ra @a
The sentiments of both speakers were endorsed
by the cheers of the listeners; and several white
men, who had previously swallowed the bitter
pills of Conservatism, came forward and declared
their intention to vote for Grant and Colfax.
. d .
Several hundred Republicans met at Sorrelrs
Store, Wake county, on Saturday last. a.
The meeting was called to order by Jacob Sor-
rell, Esq. 5f-
Mr. Beavers, a Conservative of considerable
ability, was invited to speak, and he did SO at
some length, but his arguments seemed to injure
the Conservative cause and strengthen that of the
Republicans. 'L a4'-T 80
He was followed by Rev. s. D. Franklin, who
walked through the Ku-Klux positions for about
an hour, and showed up many of their false state
ments.
Grant and Colfax are gaining strength in this
neighborhood.
Auburn, Wake, county, had Republican out
pouring on Saturday last. Ashley and several
others addressed the crowd. The greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed, and at late hour the meeting
broke up with cheers for Giant and Colfax.
The people of huntsville, Wake county, were
reused from theirlethargy on Saturday last by an
earnest Republican meeting. Several hundred
sanguine patriots, white and black, were address
ed by Rev. Mr.. Whitson and Rev. Mr. Morgan.
Still the ball rolls on. Wake county sends greet
ing to the Republicans of North Carolina, and
promises to give Grant and Colfax 1900 majority.

AN ADDRESS TO THE FREEMEN
OF NORTH CAROLINA. a-r--,

Patriots Republicans The country is in
danger. The times OF 1860 are again upon us.
We are upon the eve of another war. The DEM
ocratic party has declared its intention to usurp
power belonging to Congress and the Supreme
<Court and 10 overthrow the State government of
4 North Carolina by force Of arms. This they
will attempt TO do if Seymour and Blair are
elected. This attempt will be resisted by every
means both offensive and defensive which God
and natureha given US. If this war should be
begun, who can say what horrors will not be
enactedi +EF. ltrffff f-tf.-
Friends of your country and government, has
ten to the rescue. Ye men who never faltered in
your loyalty in the dark days of the Rebellion,
rally once more in defence of the Constitution the
laws and the flag. Save us from the dreadful
calamities of another war. General Grant says
LET us have peace" The Republican party
says "Let us have peace" Let all good citizens
say "Let US have peace
On the 10th of this month there is to be a
State Mass Meeting in the city of Raleigh. The
object of that meeting is to organize more
thoroughly the friends of peace and stable gov
eminent. The undersigned have been appoint
ed a Committee to invite all the friends of Grant
and peace to attend that meeting.
Then come one ard ALL We shall not come
together breathing threats of war and civil fury.
We shall not stir up the evil passions of men
TO excite them to crime. We shall not attempt
to intimidate or disturb any one. Our hope lies
in reason and judgment aud not in the revolver
and the bowie knife. H- -. Co.,.
One more effort and all will be well. The
election of Grant will give US that long desired
and expected blessing, PEACE.
Republicans You have duty to perform.
You have the power, and upon your heads will
be the responsibility if damage comes upon the
State. Put forth that power. Work for General
Grant Undergo fatigue, hardships and danger,
if need be, to secure his election. Spare no
pains. Avoid no labor. The issue is tremen-
mendous. 1t is Peace or War. 1t is prosperity
or ruin. In one word it is Seymour and Blair
or Grant and Colfax. There is no middle
ground. There can be no neutral men in this
contest. Let the legions of loyalty cry ''to
your tents, O Israel" and be ready to move
down upon the enemy in solid column in No
vember.

Iopr since dream of heaven had, d; 81
And still the vision haunts me Oft; o .,.a-ii
see the saints in white robes clad, aH
The martyrs with their palms aloit. ..,tl.
But hearing still, in middle song,
The ceaseless dssonancc fwrong;
And shrinking with hid facee, from tie strain =
OF sad beseeching eyes, full oil remorse and
pain.
The glad song falters to wall,
The harping sinks to low lament: Pa. -.. sH
Before the still uplifted vail .r.r
see the crowned forehcads bent, ...
Making more sweetthe heavenly air
With treathless or unselfsh prayer;
And voice saith SO Pity which is pain,
o love that weeps, fill up my sufferings which
remain J" I'D
Shall souls redeemed by me refuse
To share my sorrow in their turn!
Or sin forgiven, my gift abuse
Ofpeace with selfish unconcern?
Has sanity ease no pitying care?
Has faith no work, and love no prayer!
While sin remains, and souls in darkness dwell,
Can heaven itself he heaven and looked unmoVed
on hell?
Then through the gates of pain, dream,
a wind OF heaven blows coldly in; Lad.
Fainter the awful disco.d seem,
The smoke of torment grows moro thin,
Tears quench the burning soil, and thence tiSt
Spring sweet, pale flowers OF penitence: ra
And through the dreary realm of mans despair,
Star-crowned an angel walks and 10! Gods hope
is there!
Is it dream? Is heaven so high
That pity cannot breath its air;
Its happy eyes forever dry,
Its holy lips without u prayer?
My God! my God if thither led .. .
BY Thy fragrance unmcrited, ,-
No crown nor palm be mine, but let me keep
"a heart that still can feel and eyes that still can
- weep.

fact that the present government is legal and
rightful government. Gas we thinkl it fol-
lows that it can be changed in but two
ways-first by the people themselves accor-
ding to the provisions contained in the
Constitution itself And secondly, by revolution
The first is peaceable, and to which there can
be no objection; only as may be founded in
policy e ~ ~ l'NA 49, (
The otheris forcible, and will result in war,
the consequences of which We will not under
take to speak. And he that tells you that it
will not result in war is himself deceived, or he
is again trying to deceive you as he did with
the doctrine OF peaceable secession in 1860 and
1861.
And in conclusion we will say that it must
not be understood from what we have said in
favor of the legality of the present State govern
ment, that we agree with all its provisions or
policy. We do not agree with many of them.
Especially with the wonderful revolution made
in the Judiciary system OF the State.

Grant and colfax in Mecklenburg.

The Republicans Of Mecklcnburg county met
in great numbers at Liberty Hill on Saturday last
A strong party of Cops came on the ground, and
an agreement was made to divide the time be-
tween the opposing speakers. Joseph R. Giles
pie, Republican, first addressed the meeting. He
was followed by R. D. Whitley, Copperhead, who
labored painfully through long speech. Mr..
schenck took up his arguments one by one, and
showed their falsity and their weakness SO COM
pletely that the Cops dropped their tail feathers
and declined to say anything more. After speeches
by r. Smith, John Davidson and R. NJ. Martin,
the meeting adjourned with enthusiastic cheers
for Grant and Colfax.

ed their Constitution, giving suffrage to
all persons twenty-one years OF age, and
submitted this Constitution to the people for
their ratification, sc. This Constitution was
thus ratified by large majority of the then vo-
tiers of the State. And Mr.. Thos. Dorr, the Coy
erner elected, under the new Constitution, pre-
sented it to the old Government with demand
of the property of the State This demand was
resisted, and conflict of arms ensued, in which
the old Government was successful. And out of
the result of this conflict Of arms grew the cele-
. brated case of Luther Vs. Borden, Z Howard. page
l. On this trial it was commended that the new
Government was Illegal for various reasons al
legged, and ably argued by counsel. Among
which was this: that under the old Government
none were allowed to vote but freeholders and
that under the new, all persons under the age of
twenty one years old, &c, were allowed to vote.
And that the new Constitution was adopted by
their vote, and not BY the qualified voters under
the old Government But the court decided,
Chief Justice fancy delivering the opinion ofthc
court, that between two governments contend
ing for the supremacy of the State, Con-
gress was the proper tribunal to determine
which was the rightful government: And it be-
ing political question, the courts had no right
to review the decision of Congress, but only to
ascertain what it was and adopt and follow the
same, and that the courts had no right to enquire
as to how or by whom said govern
ment was established. We apply this opinion to
the present government of North Carolina. And
IL necessarily loilows tnaI the present govern

gross has the right to decide this question. And
that by refusing to admit the representatives OF
the government formed in the Presidents plan,
and By admitting those elected under the Con-
gressional plan, is decision in favor of the pres
ent government Also that this decision is
final, as the Courts have no right to review the
question. And that the objection therefore that
the Constitution was adopted by the vote Of the
negroes, whether right or wrong, can avail
nothing as 1t is a question that cannot be re-
