We reprint the following address to the peo-

We reprint the following address to the peo-
ple of North Carolina issued in March last:
The undersigned, Conservative members nf .SuI Of
return to you, beg leave to suggest few mat
ters for your consideration, believing as they
do. that they bear directly upon the welfare OF
the State. We have great struggle before us
in the approaching August election-a strug-
ole with foe before whose columns our ban
Ser has twice gone down. What disasters to
70 the State have followed these defeats, we
will not stop to recount here; the story is but
too familiar to you; we but desire to advise
YOU to that course which seems best to us, for
Kidding our State forever from the calamitous
rule OF the Radical party. This Radical
party, in the General Assembly,, have
been. at last, though reluctanctly, forced,
by the potent voice Of public opinion.
TO grant, what the State Constitution, rightly
construed, already secured 10 you, popular
election on the first Thursday in August next.
Esteeming the free exercise Of the ballot, as
they do, one of the most sacred rights Of free
men, oil our people. without regard 10 party,
condition or color, will receive the announce
ment with pleasure. The right Of the people
sentalives, and to correct all abuses of power
by the peaceful remedy of the ballot box, is
one which freemen should never indlterently
exercise or tamely surrender. The election IN
August next although confined 10 the choice
of members OF Congress, members OF the next
General Assembly, the various county officers
and an encouragement, is one OF sufficient
importance to call out every voter, and to ac-
lively enlist the energies and time of every
lover OF the State.
The dominant party are organizing thor
oughly tor the approaching campaign, and
you imperil every important interest Of the
State If you flatter yourselves with the hope
that it will surrender the government without
a desperate struggle. We feel confident that
an equally jealous and determined effort on
