NO PROTECTION FOR PROPERTY
OR LABOR.

pl lotection to property and labor Can
there be any prosperity for The people
under such a government Will men of
energy and capital live in such govern
ment z That such gnvernment can not
last Is too manifest TO be seriously deba-
I'd.
Well, now, we ask the people OF this
State to l,nt the question To themselves,
each for himself, is there any projections
tor property and labor in North Carolina,
at this time. and uEder the Radical Cons
stitution and Radical rnle2 II seems to
us clear that he ia obliged TO admit that
there is none. What do we seel With
ont stopping % examine the frame work
of the Radical Constitution, let us scruti-
uze its workings:
In less than SIX months from the be-
ginning of the Radical system Of govern.
ment, the pnhllc debts is increased ten
millions 2f dollars The immense ex-
penditure of money nsed 20 keep this
government in operation is without a
parallel IN the history of the State. Ten
Thousand dollars are appropriated to tnr-
nish house for the Radical Governor TO
live in, and he gots salary OF $4,000 and
other State officers salaries IN proportion.
New, nnheard of and unnecessary offices
are created. The presiding officers of the
Legislature get $lO day each, the mem
bers 81 n dav each, and all tie Off GERS of
the legislature tees and per- diena in like
proportion. New, extravagant and Hn-
necessary changes are made in and about
the Capitol. In short, there is no end TO
the stream OF expense. There WAS never
anything like it in this State before. We
challenge a successful CONT ADDICTION OF
what is here stated.
This reck less and criminal extravaganza
is carried on, too, at the close of terrible
civil war, when the who Q country is
dcsolatcd and IMPOVERISHED. Is this not

RADICAL WAR AND TREASON.
We no;ice that all the Radical ('slogali'')
! Governors in The Union are requested TO
assemble in Phildelpl.ia, at an early day.
FoR WHAT. To organize against the Con
stitution To plot treason To prepare
to defeat the popular will of the nation. il
| Seymour and Blair are elected This is
the purpose.
The Governor, so-called of this State.
is going on in the work of organizing his
Radical army. Nothing is done 10 arrest
/ this reasonable movement, and, when it
!! is too late, the bloody evil of open and
actual war will be upon the country.
We again warn the people of approach
ing danger, and tell them to keep ont of
/" Union Leagues" as they are falsely
! called, and 10 he cantions about joining
/ v0Lunteer military organizations. It is
we'll known that these Leagues are semi
military in their character. and the pur
! pose, in great part, is to use them in any
conflict that may come. This meeting of
Radical e loyal ~ Governors, at Phil.
adelphia, is with view TO this war movc
