STATEMENTS OF PROMINENT RESIDENTS-ADhlN-
IsTRATION sUBTERFUGEs THE LIBERAL
VOTE TO BE LARGELY INCREASED IN NO
MEMBER. .
Prominent gentlemen from North Carolina
were Ia the city yesterday from whom statements were
obtained concerning the recent contest In that state
the gentlemen who make the statements are among the
most prominent citizens in North Carolina and include
g. T. Williams, editor Of The Raleigh Be'cs, and O. NJ
Busbee, member of the Democratic State Executive
Committee and many others Iher statements were SUI
stantially as follows:
The recent canvass in the State Of North Carolina was
in no respect fair indication OF the relative strength OF
te Liberals compared with the party
The Convention that assembled to make the Nominations
OF sate, Congress and local officers met on May sn1
made nominations before the nominations or platform OF
the Cincinnati Convention had been announced -
call issued by the Liberal State Committee inviting
All who favored Reform to unite and cooperate
With the Democratic party appeared only short time
rior 10 the election and the contest was purely loeal
one between Democrats and Republicans. During the
canvass however, the Liberal cause had gained such
strength that deprived OF the purely local personal III
iogv in favor OF the Liberal Democratic element For
Instance Gen. r. NJ. Henry OF Buneompe County, VINO Is
Greaiey and who has been making strong speeches IN
his behalf voted for Caldwell and the Republican state
The main cause OF such apparently anomalous posi-
tons was the proposed amendments TO the state COhs
tntIon which were really the prominent point OF differ
@ netween The political parties Of the State. In order
that this may be more fully IL may DC
1858 by Republican Legislature, under the Reeonsruc-
to0 act ratified by Congress- and afterward adopted by
the peoIIe The Legislature must adopt by twothirds
vote proposed amendments, and then submit tneln 10
the people and having been ratified they must be re-
Suta'u necessary. Democratic Legislature
sought to make the changes referred to in the constq
sion Of the Republican Convention and these amend
ments we're voted on at the last election. The German
element was committed against the proposed constlu-
onaI changes and voted the Republican ticket and yet
the Germans body III favor OF Greeley and
brown There no alienation between the straight
