asssfn tle Wilson plaiaaeales Of the 18th we :
find the following in an article describing
an extension party from Wilson t" Smith
vile:
3. large u s. far hung like thunder cloua
over the place {Smithvile)-and mas aiohe hiart-
"a III. heanty Of what was otherwise so charm

spirit our glorious ola Dixie, ana II was
Emusic such as would inger mans me ions
years 10 hear the notes OF tnat oou.ns e,i a'
Swelling up under the shadow OF the tyfahrs eh-
sign.'"
To which the New Borne Times replies as
follows:
.sHow much longer are articles OF the kind to
disgrace the conservative press OF lh' SUI .ou',,
Would the star spangled banner nave oeen

Observation-Disclosures will seek other States
where a ,o,,al people will welcome them to all inc
Drivileprs and rights good government DE-
Slows, and where said government is feStec. lea.

which we believe are calculated to do the soatn
| no good but infinite harm.
The severity of the Times reply is fully
merited and the truth of Its statements will
be conceded by every fair-minded man in
.. the State. In one particular, however, the
Times is in error. 1t speaks of the radical
Democratic press as the conservative pa
Ders.n They are not conservative, and their
claim TO the title is simply ridiculous. The
conservative men who elected WALKER-the
True Republicans" Expressly disclaim all
connection with the Democrats and denounce
hem as Radicals. Many of the WALKER men
were distinguished leaders in the armies OF
the Contederacy-men whose ability and
valor have given them fame. Gen. ROBERT
E. LEE is a WALLER man, and consequently
a true Republican. Gen. EARLY isa WALKER
man, and consequently true Republic
can. The famous guerilla chief, MosEBY, is
| a WALKER man, and consequently a true Re
| publican. All these men were Conservatives,
| but are now true Conservatives and true
| Republicans. The loyal men are the Con-
servativcs, for they seek to conserve the gov
eminent of the United States from the ruin
which unrepentant rebels would bring upon
! it. Gen. LEE is now loyal TO the govern
ment, for he has sworn to support it. He,
! as well as all the Conservatives. denou1ce
Democracy for its radicalism. The traitor
| GUS expressions for which the Times tie
! nounccs the Plaindealer are just such senti-
ments as Gen. LEE and the WALKER party
denouncc as radical, and injurious to the
SoUTu. The Conservatives support the
government and despise those who now re-
| vile its flag and authority. The PtaindeGler
revies the flag and authority of the gov
| crnmcnt, and is, therefore. one of the radl-
Gals that are despised by Gen. LEE and all
| true Conservatives. 1t is radical-demo-
| GRAFT, and is, therefore, one of that class
which Gen. LEE and the VIRGINIA Conser-
vatives have told the Southern people to be-
ware Of Its teachings are radical in the
extreme as are the teachings of the Sentinel
and all of the Democratic papers of the
| State. For these reasons it is manifestly
wrong to call Democratic papers Conserva-
tive. They are Democratic-Gen. LEE is
q Conservative, and he despises and con-
| demnsIthe Democrats, and. by endorsing
the WALKER platform, warns the people of
the SOUTH to beware of the Democtatic
party. The people of NORTH CAROLINA can
now Judge whose counsels they will follow
those of Gen. LEE, whom every Southern
man honors for his bravery and modertion
| or the counscls of the editors of the Sentinel,
PLdmdealer and other small journals. Gen.
LEE and the Republican party of VIRGINIA
and NORTH CAROLINA are Conservative and
liberal in their sentiments. The Democrats
of VIRGINIA and NORTH CAROLINA are rddi-
caI in their sentiments. The people of the
SOUTH are warned to beware of radicals,
such as the Democrats are proven to be. All
the old Wings and Conservative Democrats
of VIRGINIA are now Republicans, and OPP
posed to the radical Democracy of to-day
Let the people OF NORTH CAROLINA remem-
Der this and he no longer deceived by the
false pretensions of the dying Democracy.
