The Raleigh Progress of the l0th


says;


The work Of constructing q loyal
| governments in this State viii not be SO


easy as many Of US have supposed, for


the. Davis and Vance leaders are as bit


ter as aver and already they are at


work to organize a party to oppose the


policy of the President and the admin


istration, and to make war on the Cover
nor of this State. This IS palpable to


eFery man of Ordinary perception that
will look around him, and it- Is due the
authorities that they be furnished with
the names of the leaders of this disloy-
alfaction, and the OBJ ects they hope to

These enemies Of the Government


profess great devotion for the Union
and are impatient to have civil law re-
stored and the troops removed, but tbs


well known, at The same time, that


they have made their threats as to
what they wiz DO D eonspEing and

They threaten to lash the negro be-
cause their treason to the Government


has been made the means IN the hands
Of Providence offreeing him. and they


threhtep @ hang Onion men simply be-


cause they have Insisted that traitors


ought TO be punished The leaders in


this movement for q reasonable organ
izatioh already abuse and de1ounce the
people Of the North and the Govern
ment y for freeing the negro they tell
the negro he is not free and that as
soon as the troops are gone they will
exercise their ownership again; they are
bitter and unrelenting against all who
do support the GoVernh1ent and !
IN bne and 10 fact only await the

traitorous designs into action, and thus
cause violence and open revolt But |
we can tell them they viii be closely /

will perform his duty fearlessly and |
with promptness. snd those who stood |
by him during the long night of the
last three years in defense of personal
freedom and constitutional liberty will
not forsake him now. The opposition

dent and his Provisional Governor that
every loyal man in North Carolina viii.
give them hearty and Jealous support
in al acts necessary to crush out treason
and traitors, and re-establish the ma
tional authority upon a fem basis.


We can assure the President of the
United States that there is a strong dis
loyal element in this State-not ma
jority by any means, but strong enough
TO do much mischief If not looked to
and nothing can avert and crush it but.
the application Of the decisive policy
he pursued in Tennessee. Our only
hope is in the iron will of the Presi-
dent and the inhexible determination
Of Governor Holden. That treason is
beginning to show its head in North
under the auspices of the po-
litical and sectarian leaders in the late
rebellion, is rs plain as the noon day
sun. Let those who have been appoint
ed to man the ship look well to their
and keep steady hand at the
wheel, for the leaders of the old seces-
sion party here will do all in their pow
er TO thWart the plans and purposes Of
Andrew johnson and w. w. Holden.
