70 tie People Of North Carolina:
Governo Caldwell, III his lite appeal to
you, stat, that he has reason to believe,
from information received by him that in
some Of the COUNT of the State lawIess
bands o men have committed great out
RACES upon the defencets5 citizens OF
those 10; lties in which their depreda.ions
are cur,i ii OF. We are satisfied that such
bands are roufned 20 very few calitres,
aud that hey have no atfiiia ion with either
of the political parties # the State. w
bell We that neither the outrage7 by vio-
leE"n Dor hJsn of secret busnlng4 have
any dir c. connection vita politics. Bat
it las tIicn baen asserted that some OF
these ont a e., and more especially those
OF violence. have been COunived at, if not
actually encouraged, by that political
party with which We act Very base and
unprlucipled mon have used the charge
doubtless to affect elections. Those of
our fellow cit zens who know US know the
utter falsity OF the charge. In all Ous
connections with society we have de-
nO1Dced the associations from which these
outrages sarAng. Sill, however, certain
men, as we are informed, do not hes tate
TO affirm that We and others give encOur-
agemvut to outrages OF violence on weak
and de.enceless psople Of 10th colors and
sexes.
Some 81 our fellow citize :, of both
parti, s have suggested to us til uropriety
OF doing iii W. caU to remove this false
chang from US, IS ii may affect the action
OF tue lawles,. In accordance with this
suggestion We, the undersigned. appear
publicly before you, the good citizens OF
the State. and avail ourselves of the coca
sion to d clare that we have, at all times,
deplOiei whatever of lawless violence has
beeu committed in tbs State We de-
nounce a / illicit organic atoms, and all
conspirar;es against the law of the land
its peace and order. We believe that there
are few crimes, worse in their tendency tc
demoralize the people, to drive good citi
zens from the State, to prevent imni-
grafton, TO dImi1ish industry, and
to increase homicides, arsons and
thefts, than such organizations and
conspiracies. We believe it to be
among the highest and foremost du-
ties OF every good citizen to discourage
these offences and to bring the offender:
to Justice. They deserve the severest pen
altl.s OF the law; and We take occasion tc
declare that all persons who unlawfullJ
intervene, by any means whatever, between
the offenders and Justice are equally Grim
mai IN morals. If not law with &c
