Hundred Meetings.

The DELEGATE MEETING Saturday
afternoon, at 2 O'Clock, the Union votes of this
county are to meet at the voting places in the
respective Hundreds to select forty Delegates
to the State Union Delegate Convention. We
hope there will be full attendance at these
Hundred meetings, and that active men will be
chosen Delegates
We believe that Grant men" will he sent
to the State Convention, who will instruct the
Delegates to the National Convention at Chi
eago to vote for the General. He is evidently
pelaware's choice, as he is the choice of the
country. Every State that has selected Dele
gates up to the present land a majority of them
haVe) have instructed them to vote for him.

who will meet Him ?

Rebels and rebel journals are threatening
that no Republican dare meet Vance on the
stump. Let these "war men" give them
selves no special uneasiness. The Republican
Executive Committee of the State will ar
range the plan of the campaign without
consulting Vance or his friends.
The davs of rebel ruffianism. ofthe revolver
and the bowie knife, died with the Southern
Confederacy. We live under a government OF
law and order; and that law and order the Re-
publicans of North Carolina mean to main
tain. They shall not attempt, like Vance,
to produce collision and bloodshed between
the races. They shall stand upon the high
grounds of argument and truth and justice.
Bet tlhy ell step short of no, sacrifice to
continue peace and order. twill be a fatal
day for those who shall attempt intlmlda-
ton at any Republican meeting in North
Carolina AS to meeting Vance, on the
stump, the most eloquent orators would be
the women whose fingers he had put under
rails: of the mothers who were separated
from their infants under his orders until
their breasts bealed. THESE, together with
the ghosts of the Laurel Valley and the men
who were murdered under his authority will
be present whenever Vance speaks, and we
hereby notify the public to that effect.

Geo. w. Logan.

Not being able to produce anything de-
rogatory to the character of this gentleman,
the Sentinel says he has not the ability or
learning in law, sufficient to enable him to
open Court.
General Logan needs no defence at our
hands. We would not notice the falsehoods
of the Sentinel if it was seen only by those
who know Gen. Logan Those who know
him will bear US testimony that he is tho
equal, if not the superior of any of the
pets of the " so called Conservative. Union
Democratic Rebel secession party.
The General will canvass the Western
part of the State and woe to any of the
.SentineEs allies that dare to reply. The
name of Logan is tower of strength"
among the blue hills of the West.
For many years Gen. Logan has been at
the bar. He stands among the first law
yers of his Circuit. The charge that he
has not sufficient learning to open Court,
falls to the ground, like all falseAoods
must. 8-7 f7ta G
Gen. Logan was Union man In 1861.
He was Union man all the rebellion. He
is Republican now His record is be-
yond question. We venture the opinion,
that wherever the enemies of freedom, l;ber.
ty and justice meet him, they will sneak,
like whipped ours, from his presence.

Ouropponents having utterly failed in ar
gamoat, and having neither truth nor rea-
son to sustain them, are resorting in their
desperation to personal abuse, and to as
.sSusts on private character. Those who
make these assaults should be held response
ltle for them personally. They wM be-
Orators may remain here, and will be pro-
stected in life, liberty and property but
when they attempt causelessly and wickedly
to defame and destroy private character to
crafty the base passions of malice and re-
venge, they will be ut once checked and pun

The Old Howl.

Rebel journals are making much to
do about voting down certain resolu-
tions of one Durham, a delegate (so-called)
to the Constitutional Convention. If Mr.
Durham and his supporters will remain quiet
and not further delay and embarrass the
Convention, they will find that resolutions
from men who look upon the Convention as
a lawless assembly, will not be recognized !;
while resolutions, which embody the same
matter. may be unanimously adopted, when
coming from the proper quarter and in good
faith.

Their ssfcked PURPOSE.


Our readers will bear in Taind fhat we
have said from the beginning, that the only
hope of the enemies of reconstruction was
another War. They have been spurned by
the men of North Carolina whom they have
trodden under foot heretofore. They have
invited the leading colored men of the State
into their parlors in this city-met them
upon terms of the most perfect scial equal
ity. and offered them GOLD to bribe them to
desert the Republican party and go over to
the secessionists and rebels But their bribes
were offered in vain. The colored people
turned from these old slave oligarchs with
even more contempt than the white men
had done Rejected with scorn and contempt
by both black and white, the traitor and
rebel element, with such men as Vance,
Bragg and Manly at their head, have deter
mined, in their wicked assemblies, that the
only way for them to get once more Into
power is by laying waste this land with fire
and slaughter. They we'll know that du-
! ring the last election there was not single
disturbance; they well know, that with
more than one thousand Republican meet
ings where the oolored men predominated,
there was not the slightest disposition to
disturb the public peace. They well know
that the colnred men of North Carolina are
peaceable and law abiding. They know AL
their feelings toward the white race are of
the kindest character. When they state
anything else upon the stump, or through
their presses they state what is false, and
they state it knowingly and maliciously.
Should they succeed in their devilish pur-
poses of provoking strife, let them remenl-
Der one thing, and that is this: White men
and black men fought side by side in the
glorious army of the Union to destroy trail
tors and support the government. White
Union men and black men will stand side
by side IN North-C Carolina, if needs be, to
support the loyal men of the nation, and to
put down traitors here of whatever COM
plexion.

Another CautiOn

Once more we caution all good citizens
against allowing their names to be taken
down on lists by men who are going round
for that purpose. The object is to see how
many men there are, who are opposed to the
government, and who can be depended on
to do the fighting in the war which these
enemies of the government, with Vance at
their head, are striving to bring about. Let
those who cannot go with us, remain quiet
and take no part at all in the election. By
so doing they will avoid all responsibility.
