Our Fremont Letter.

EtUOf dfgtCS:-ln our last we
wrote, outside of Democracy
there was no hope for the peo-
pie. and that will be our theme
to-day. We were in Wilson
when Hampton and his troops
were on their way to Virginia
While the train stopped for few
minutes Hampton made a speech
and asked North Carolinians to
go with them to help rescue the
grave of Washington from ty-
ranny and oppression. North
Carolina did go. and on her brow
will ever rest the stainless honor
and glory won during those four
long years of war. Among the
brave, she was the bravest her
heroes sleep beneath the sod
in every State where the proud
flag of the Confederacy was
carried in triumph by her noble
and chivalrous sons. Though
no martial sound shall ever
awake them to glory again, yet
they shall be awakened to find
that their survivors and descend
ants have not lost any of the
patriotism, love of home and
country that made them take up
arms to defend that which was
dearer than life, those princi-
Piles that underlie the foundation
of all national greatness. that
which made the Southern Con-
federacy, though short-lived, the
model of all Republics. To-day
her noble and brave sons have
those principles still implanted
deep in their hearts and by the
memory of the departed, and
help of the living. they intend to
keep the dear old State safely
anchored on Democratic princi-
| ples-the best haven and surest
refuge for her sons in peace or
war. Those principles, formu-
lated by Jefferson, and approved
by the wisest and best men we
ever had, and given to the world
as the purest and simplest for
a government by the people in
which the people have complete
control, proves to the world
that that is best for the people
which makes them sovereigns.
The principles on which the
| Democratic party is founded
do this, though some of her
sons are trying to prove recre
ant for the sake of Office and
mislead others yet the rank
and file are true to the faith that
rescued North Carolina from the
hands of those who had trodden
under foot those principles and
brought her to infamy and shame.
But to-day, from the mother OF
States and stateSmen-to the
Palmetto State, which gave to
the world the great Calhoun,
Hayne and others, who were OF
the true faith, and from the broad
Atlantic to the far west, until we
reach the line of another noble
State. North Carolina is mar
marshalling the great Demo
cratic host to meet the enemy OF
good government; and though
we have not our Vance, Fowle
| Dortch and others, who so otter
and gallantly lead the great hos
of Democrats to victory and tt
glory, yet we have Ransom
Jarvis, and younger men who
are true and tried. and when the
ides of November come we in
tend to greet Alabama, anc
other Democratic States will
, one of the grandest and mos
glorious triumphs Democrac,
ever achieved in North Carolina
Now, Democrats, you know wht
or what party brought shame ant
disgrace upon North Carolina
) You recollect the dark days O
5 reconstruction and the Holden
Kirk war, the dark scenes en-
) acted that would make friends
> blush. You recollect at tha
time the noble women of ou
, land cried, protect us from tn
, infamy of such men," and will
: the recollectiors of all these out
} RACES fresh in your memory. ca
+ you, will you, support a part
that sanctions all these outrages
My opinion of the men of Mort
, ICarolina tells me no.
