The subjoined resolution has been

appointment wsasmadc solely as reward
for supposed political services md at the
sacrifice of every, interest of the institu-

resolution is farcical in its Stiffness and
iimpotency. It cannot be enforced, I'M

Gen. Banks Comes Out for greeley.
The following is a full text of Banks
letter, wherein he comes out squarely
for Horace Greeley:
BosroS, July 81, 1872.
My DEAR Sir: l have the honor to
acknowledge hv this note, in addition to
our conversationn to-day, the receipt of your
invitation to address the citizens of Lynn.
on Thursday evening, in support ofsthe
reelection Of the Grant policy and his ad-
ministration No invitation could have
greater weight with me from any part of
the country, nor from any portion of my
fellow-citizens, and it gives me great pleas
ure to assure you that nothing could be
added to your suggestions as the repre-
sentative of the citizens of Lynn, to in
duce me to accede to the request. Their
kindness of many Years ago is contlnu-
ing life remembrance and nothing would
give me greater satisfaction than to renew
my associations with them; but | regret
to say that am not in sccord with them
in regard to the Presidential canvass.
Against my wishes and personal interests,
am compelled to believe and to say that
the perpetuation If the present policy OF
the Government ia not for the advantage
of the country, and that it will not tend
to establish its former good and prosperity
nor to promote the interest of any class of
its citizens No personal feeling o. qnv
form or character enters into this. ipdg-
ment.. It is in view of general principles
and public interests alone that 1 ON led
to this conclusion.
The uniting of the masses of people of
all parties, sections and races in support
of the grand results of the war, is indis-
pensable to the permanent establishment
of general recognition of these results;
it can be secured by no other ncans. We
shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner
or later. This united action on this hasis
has been the hope of my life | fervent-
lv desired it during the war and in the
reconstruction of the States subsequent to
the war l believe It's now rendered in
good faith in the nomination Of Greeley,
and, for one, / cannot reject it. 1t was
what desired; its consummation although
sudden and startling. dies not alarm me.
Ny duty to my country and myself re,
quires me to give him nv support. | CAN
not advocate before your friends a differ.
ent course which neither my judgment
nor my heart approves. It grives me
most deeply to separate myself in thought
or act, from any, one of those with whom
have so long associated, and to whom I
am so greatly indebted; but l believe
that the result will justify my action, give
to the country peace and prosperity, which
is the object of our labors, and secure to
every citizen civil and political equality
and freedom, which was won by the sacr-
fceof so many valuable lives.
Accept the assurance of my lasting
friendship and esteem, and believe me,
Yours, truly,
N P RaNBs

suit is still undivided and uncertain
Merrimon and Caldwell, the gubernato-

ties still claim the State. Out of the eight
Congressman, four Democrats are elected
beyond all doubt. One of these is Gov
Vance. Three ofthe other Districts have
elected the Republican candidate. One
is still doubtful. The legislatures is large

The Election M North Carolina

~
: The election took place, inNorth Gafo-
lima, quickly and dquietly, on4Thursday
last. From theifrst. both parties have
persistently claimed the victory. The
official count is not'yet made, but we feei
we are quite safe in saying that the Con-
servatives have elected their State ticket
and achieved such victory over Fede-
raj patronage and Federal power as is
unknown in the history Of party politics
in this country.
In this election the Radicals were more
than ever powerful and unscrupulous,
The negroes were compacted into a solid
mass, by the Leagues and, the use of
money. There may have been individual
exceptions, but the great body were
moved like q machine. Persuasion and
intimidation were employed, as one or
the other was deemed most efficient.
Enormous sums of money were raised
in New York, and drawn from the
Treasury by public officers under false
nrotexts, to corrupt the ballot box and
import fraudulent voters from the adj
Joining States. Nothing was left undone
that nerverse ingenuity, audacity and
llnaverv could suggest. as useful to carry
the election.
But over all this the Conservatives
have trinmphc1 bravely and patriotical-
". There is clear and emphatic ma
ioritv in the old North State against
Radicalism. and this majority the Con
servatives have brought to the polls,
A Raleigh dispatch, dated the 9Th. says
All the counties have been heard from
except ten western counties, with vote
thus: Caldwell has gotten even with the
shipp majority of 1870, and in the re-
manning counties each candidate stands
an even chance. Eight Of the counties
to hear from are in the 9Th district, and
the eleven counties already heard from
in that district gave Merrimon net gain
Of over one hundred each. Everything
turns upon this, and the Democrats are
he peful of maintaining the gains. The
Republicans are quite confident, and
claim Caldwells election. The excite
ment is subsiding as the people have be.
come exhausted from excitement.

Dear Sir-You make two preparations
which, it appears to ME, are worthy of a
more general acceptance than they have
had as yet, probably because they have
not been "puffed" in the newspapers. /
allude to your Liver Pills and Aromatic
Elixir of Citrate of Caffeine. The former
have been used in my own case-torpor
of tho Liver-and in my family with q
marked success, and believe thcm sr-
perior in oil hillary arrangements to any
pills now made. The Caffeine is the only
remedy that has, in my experience,
proved effectual for nervous headaches.
It never fails, and the relief it affords is
delicious; for not only does the pain
cease, but O pleasant eXhilaration super
venes, and suffering is converted to
pleasure. A vial Of 1t is kept at home
and one at my Office, that 1 may never
be without itin case of need.
