THE RUSSELL REVOLT.

An Appeal the Republican Voters OF
North Carolina to Attend the July
Meeting.
The following circular letter has
been issued from Durham:
Whereas, the fraudulent nomina-

of North Carolina--a man who has
proclaimed to the world that negroes
are largely savages, that all negroes
follow rascals, and steal six days in
the week and go to church on Sundays
and pray it off; that non-property
holders should not under any circum-
stances exercise the full privilege of
citizenship: and because he foments
racial strife and thereby jeopardizes
our educational progress by subordi-
mating all to corrupt politics and poll
ticians--
Resolved, therefore, That a call be
made and is hereby ISSUED for n con-
vention of all Republicans of the State,
both white and black, who are opposed
to the election of Daniel l.. Russell to
meet i'm the city of Raleigh, n. c., on
Thursday, July ., at noon.
