OUR PITT CORRESPONDENCE.
GREENvILLE, n. c.,
Aug. 18th, 1868.

Messrs. Editors We have had
quite an enthusiastic time here, owing
to the faultless nomination by the De-
mocratic Convention lately assembled
10 New York. The county seems to
be thoroughly aroused and great hopes
are entertained that she will give De-
mocratic majority in the coming elec~
ton.
Democratic Clubs are now forming
10 every part of the County The
third meeting of the Central Club was
held in Greenville on Saturday-thc
meeting Was addressed by Col. G. ".
Johuson, Germain Bernard and James
B. Yellowley in very able and enter
tanning speeches. At the conclusion
of the speaking, the committee to draft
the Constitution and bylaws reported
that they had finished the duty assigned
to them: which, on being read, was
unanimously adopted. Clubs at Pac-
tolus, Marlboro, Gum Swamp and Cen
ire Bluff. have also been organized, and
among them several negroes, who find
that their friends, the Carpet-B. G.
gers aud Scallawags, have proven false
to their interests, and that their only
hope is in the white man with whom
they were raised.
Old Greenville has at last been pro-
vided commissioners for by the man
"who writes himself Governor" aud
among them are 3 negroes and also a
white mau by the name of Stilley who
calls himself "a poor prosecuted union
; man." and who is willing to receive any
office that may be given him by the
loH party of the country.
On SATURDAY night an attempt was
made to fire the warehouse of L. r.
Cherry, which, if it had proved as sue
cessful as the iucendiary inteuded, would

entire town, but not succeeding, he at

1t is evident that Holden and his
minions by the most unparalleled leg
islation are determined to intimldatc
if possible the honest lur- abiding citi
zens of this State from the free exercise
of the elective franchise and from jus
tifable means to spread light Of truth
into the dark corners Of the Radical
camp. Let it be understood therefore
cnce for all that every act passed by au
unscupulous Legislature is DOT low.-
When ever the Law making power in
wolves the rights Of the citizens, and
attempts to ccerce him to surrender
his conscience and his clearly admitted
civil rights to deal as he pleases with
his own, SO he does not injure his neigh
Dor, such action is nugatory and void
and should be so treated by the people.
Who dares to deny that the planter
mas perfect rl9ht TO say 10 laDorer,
" I decline to cmplay you because you

lieve is an organization dangerous to
the liberties of the country" We
would be unjust to ourselves if we
encouraged those who seek our ruin
and who deliberately avow as Holden
does, that the Democrats are utterly
unfit for public station. Let these mis-
Greats understand now that these threats
of intimidation are powerless. We
give no occasion for physical conflict
God forbid it . but We will yield none

Neither of the Committees being ready

the repeated demands of the Convention,
addressed the body, briefly but earnestly
and ably, in an effort, which was received
with great delight by the audience.
Capt. James C. Dobben, of Fayetteville.

any time, of being able to do justice to Mr.
Dobbin's remarkable effort. For lofty

rious, it would be laughable to hear
the radical party promise to admin

''strictest economy" if the dear,
people would only this time elect
the radical candidate for tho Presi-

creatures, who lead the radical par
ty and who are holding all the off,
ses, show some signs Of economy
now Why put of surtailing the
national expenses until another

Of check, to be thus presumptuous.

dollars worth ofgoods every week,
would it not be the height of impu-

There is hardly a radical leader
in the country, but is stealing from
the government. They don't even
stop stealing while they ask you to
vote for them to remain in office.
They steal all tho time, and promise

Thus We see that the stay-at home
vote 10 2, 24O more than the Repub-
lican majority in the District.
When We reflect that the Republi-
cans have for long time been thor
oughly organised and the Democrats
net organised 1t all. that Republic
cans being the Weather classes had
leisure to 60 to the polls and the
Democrats being generally laboring
men had not. that in the strongest
Republican county only Is votes
and in the strongest Democratic
county 800 votes were not polled.
We cannot doubt that nearly the
whole Of this stay-at-home vote, is
Democratic. Allowing nothing for
increase Of population. five can get
out this stay-at-home vote We can
carry the District BY 2,240 majori-
ty. Shall we not do it :? or shall
We by our apathy suffer our enemies
again to defeat uswhen victory is
SO easily achieved? If we labor as
we ought to labor, Is our country
calls us to labor, success is sure.
There can be no doubt about it. Let
US arouse to the work before us
thoroughly organ:ze-form clubs
wherever possible-take lists Of the
names of all Democratic voters, and
see that they are registered at the
meeting Of the Board Of Registra-
tion on the Tuesday preceding the
election-secure the naturalization
Of Democratic Aliens-circulate

get out every Democrats, voter on

men to attend to these things; /; for

In the above calculation no ac-
count has heen taken Of tho proba-
