Ia this now party desired because OF an
sensitive objection TO the name OF Dem"
crat which fingers Ia the hearts OF many
of its Old enemies. This Is useless, Tor IN
this State the name has certainly been EUR
rendered, aud none OF the distinguishes"
gentlemen who formerly were IL" iea"erS
have been urged by then former friends
for any leading office III the State, ami bht
few of them occupied prominent positions
in the Conventions or iG the direction OF
the canvassts which have taken place III the
State since the war. There las been no
conduct on the part OF those who were
formerly Democrats to warrant tins feel

We have frequently announced our viii
Hngness to lead or follow into any organ
cation which will defeat the party In pow
er, for the cOrruptions, prescriptions anu
tyrannies of the Radical party form the
most solid and substantial basis OF the
unity of their opponents. Its defeat ana
destruction are the greatest boons which
patriots can confer upon their country. 10
ACCOMPLISH this end we will labor nnceas-
ingly with political friend anu Zoe. But
this opposition to Radicalism must be
honest, bold and universal We VIII not
stoop to swap witch toT the devil. 1t
we are called upon to abandon the leader

VANCE, GATHER, HALL, and their noble
compatriots, to follow snch Llbera! he
publicans as HOLDEN, TOP CALDWELL, ROD
MAN, Pool and SETTLE, merely to snbsti-
tute HOLDEN for ABBOTT i'll the Senate, or
to compliment GRANTS administration
with quasi approval. which We do not
feel and DO not desire. or yet to follow
such doubtful lights rs Generals CLING
MAN, BARRINaER, and MARC ERWIN, for the
political promotion of the former to the
Senatorship, we will have none OF 1t. The
people of North Carolina will not cut loose
from their reliable moorings and venture
so much for snch paltry considerations
If, however, we can organize to redeem
North Carolina from the vAndalS who are
destroying her reputation and her pros

century has been SO often shocked by the
