MR.. EDITOR A few words from Pitt
will give the correct information desired.


A few day ago we saw piece in the Tar
boro' Southerner expressing great concern
about the politics of Pitt county. 1t was of
the opinion that the politics in Pitt was in
muddle. We know the Tarboro' South
erner, and the author of that piece, and, to
confess the truth, we must say they are both
good fellows and will soon be all right. They
have listened to the slang and abuse of the
original secessionists until they can stand
them no longer. They have seen the folly
of the course pursued by that class of men
until they are perfectly convinced that all
that is necessary to be said is to read the
STANDARD, and we are very happy to see
that many good fellows are finding it out,
and you will soon see their subscriptions
coming up This all gives rise for call for
Jo Turner to come down to Pitt, make big
speech and convert all creation into seces-
sion again. But if 10 Turner comes down
here and makes speech against w. A.
Cherry, the Republican candidate, it will be
a long time before Jo Turner is Governor of
North Carolina; but if he will come down
here and make speech for W. A. Cherry,
take hold of the principles Of right and go
for the right, three fourths of the people will
say three cheers for Jo. Pitt county is able
to take care of herself and will do it if ten
10 Turner's come down here Is 10 fire.
eating secessionist We don't believe it of
him, but, as we have said before, time is
drawing the lines, and those who are caught
in the sccesh net may expect to receive
their, reward. r.s ......- b.


We who now go for the United States
Government in all her troubles, abuse, and
struggles. for preservation, for independence
and for liberty, will certainly remember
those who continue to persecute and slander
US because we are true to the Government
that gave US birth.


But notwithstanding the prosecutions and
ISLANDERS imposed upon Us, We desire to carry
out the true principles of christianity, pa
triotism and civilization, as peace and good
government require The war is over, and
we now wish to do right, and it would af.
ford US much pleasure to see all those who
have been misled- by abusive secesh orators
to come up and give us hearty shake of
the hand for having discovered their mis-
take. Come up, we will kill the fatted calf
HLet US have peace" 10 Turner, one of
the great Raleigh orators, is invited down to
Pitt raise grand jubilee. What would you
think if three or four civilized orators were
to come down and immerse 10 in that grand


time and let him go back to Raleigh pen
itent convert ' We think heap Of 10, but
his race il nearly run. ...i'ees1s,. (.
There are three great days now in the flu.
ture to US, besides the day when the last
trumpet shall sound. First, the day of cleo
ton in Pitt county on the 7th of October,
when the Democratic candidate is likely to
carry only four votes. ,4-..,.,...,.fr d.


Second, the 2nd day of October, when 10.
Turner is to raise his grand jubilee in Pitt
county, and convert all creation into seces-
sionist. Third and last, but not least, the
day when the eyes of the secessionist will
be opened so they can see what they do
when they oppose the United States Gov
eminent It Is self-evident fact that the
people ofPitt county are peaceable, good
and well behaved people. They have heard
war and abuse until they have no use for
any man who. indulges his inebriated pas
sions in the abuse of any man. 1t is not to
say we dislike to hear the abuse of good
men, but we do not like to hear any abuse,
nor do we wish to see any man imposed up
on for expressing himself in favor of repub-
licanism. We very respectfully invite Sc
cesh orators and their fire-eating followers to
be careful how they abuse Republicans and
the officials We might accidentally tall in
to their hands, and then how would we
teel in good company which we
have abused so much l'Ha fcst lfsl-
The moral advantages of secession are on
the decline, and we think will soon cease to
be virtue in, spite of all the power of the
whole code of secesh orators, who have la
bored so hard to keep alive the war spirit.
They have strained their lungs and their
efforts, and have only shown their I. backs y
to the government.


They have tried to make Republicans
stand low by their uneivilized abuse, until
they themselves stand so politically low that
even the most insignificant will not vote
| for them. ,tr


Did Andy ever try to build up the Demo-
cratic party in the South out of the down
fall of secession and the lost cause, and find
