A PROCLAMATION,
By Win. W. Holden, Governor of N. Carolina
Executive Department, 1
Raleigh, October 12th, 18G8. j
Information has been received at this department
that military weapons, such as repeating rifles of
various kinds, Lave been imported into this State,
and have been distributed with ammunition and
equipments to citizens in several localities. It is
believed that boxes containing arms, ammunition and
equipments, aro concealed in divers places, ready to
be distributed as opportunity may offer.
The object of the persons thus engaged must be,
either to subvert the government, to resist the con
stituted authorities, or to prevent a free election in
this State on the third day of next month.
The government of North Carolina has been law
fully and constitutionally established. This govern
ment has been freely and voluntarily formed by a
majority of the citizens, in pursuance of acts consti
tutionally passed by the Congress, under which my
immediate predecessor held office from the 2d day of
March, 18(57, to the 1st day of July, 1868. The con
stitutionality of these acts, if questioned during this
period, were nevertheless subscribed to and main
tained by him, and by every department of the gov
ernment, from the said 2d day of March, 18C7, to the
said 1st day of July, 18G8; and now, that they have
been executed, by the common consent of the whole
people voting under them at the polls for members
of a Convention, for the new Constitution, and for
members of Congress and State ofliccrs, the result
which has been effected closes the discussion in re
lation to them, and renders the present Constitution
of Government as valid and binding as were the Con
stitutions of 177G and 183-i.
This government will be maintained for the fol
lowing, among other reasons:
1st It has been lawfully and constitutionally es
tablished by the whole people oF the State. It is
operating smoothly and harmoniously. Under it the
people are quiet and peaceable, and are just entering
anew on a career of prosperity. It must not be up
set, or even assailed, because the colored people have
been allowed to vote; or because they will vote with
s certain party ; or because a few public men are
out of office and a few arc in.
2d. Senators and Representatives have been ad
mitted by the Congress to seats in that body. The
State is, therefore, of 3 well as t the Union. It is
as much of the Union as New York or any other
State. No State can eeeede, nor can Congress push
a State oat, or sever its relations with the common
government. If Congress should, therefore, do what
is exceedingly improbable, repeal the reconstruction
acts, such repeal would have no more effect than a
repeal of the act admitting Texas or Kansas to rep
resentation. The reconstruction acts have been exe
cuted, and arc, therefore, beyond the reach of Con
gress. 3d. The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction of the
subject. Its powers are expressly defined by the
Constitution to he 'Judicial." and not jliical. It
has already decided that the question of admission
to representation is a political question, and that
when determined by Congress, as it basbeen in rela
tion to North Carolina, the Court will not interfere.
4th. The President would have no more pow er to
declare the reconstruction acts null and void, with a
iew to the extinguishment of the government of this
State, than I would have to declare that a certain
County or Counties in this State should cease to exist.
The government of North Carolina is, therefore, as
firmly established as that of any other State. It lias
the same control of the right of suffrage, and of its
own internal affairs, as the other States have; and
it possesses equal power with the other States lo pro
tect and perpetuate itself.
The right of the people to have arms in their
houses, and to '-bear' them under the authority of
law, is not questioned. On the contrary, it is claimed
as a constitutional right sacred to freemen. The use
of arms by the male population, for peaceable and
lawful purposes, should rather be encouraged than
otherwise; but when, in time of peace, weapons of
an extraordinary character are imported into the
State by political organizations, and deposited and
distributed in a secret manner among persons whose
spokesmen deny the authority of the existing govern
ment, and who publicly declare that all government,
to be authoritative and binding, must proceed alone
from one race of our people, a state of affairs is at
once constituted which renders it the duty of every
officer and every c'tizen to be more than usually
vigilant. It can not be pretended that these arms
are intended for hunting or sporting purposes. It
ean not be justly assumed that they are necessary
for the protection of tlio?e who have them, since the
whole power of the State and general governments
is pledged to protect the peaceable and the law abid
ing, whoever and wherever they may be.
If it be the purpose of any portion of the people
in any event to resist the laws or to subvert the gov
ernment they should bear in mind that treason is
the highest crime that can be committed; that they
are liable to arrest and punishment under the "Act
to punish conspiracy, sedition and rebellion," w hich
will be enforced, if necessary, with a firm hand; and
they should reflect that the magnanimity of the gov
ernment, which spared the lives and the estates of
those who engaged in the late rebellion, may not be
extended a second time to save them from the conse
quences of their crimes.
If it be the purpose of any portion of the people,
j the use of arms, or by threats or intimidation, to
prevent the people from going to the polls and voting
as tney may ciioose to vote on the third day of next
month, it is my duty to inform them that force will
be met with force, and that every person who may
thus violate the law will be punished. Every race
of men in this State is free. The colored citizen is
equally entitled with the white citizen to the right
of suffrage. The poor and the humble must be
protected in this right equally with the affluent
and the exalted The election must be absolutely free.
In view, therefore, of this condition of affairs, 1
have deemed it my duty to issue this Proclamation,
admonishing the people to avoid undue excitement,
to be peacable and orderly, and to exercise the right
of suffrage firmly and calmly, without violence or
force of any kind. Every good citizen is gratified
that North Carolina is at present as quiet and peace
able as any State of the Union. Let us maintain
this good name for our State. Let us frown indig
nantly on the use of brute force, or bribes, orthreats,
to control the election; and let every officer of the
State, civil and military, be prepared to cheek in
stantly any incipient step to sedition, rebellion or
treason.
The flag of the United States waves for the pro
tection of all. Every star upon it shines down with
vital fire into every spot, howsoever remote or soli
tary, to consume those who may resist the authority
of the government, or who oppress the defenceless
and the innocent. The State government will be
maintained; the laws will be enforced; every, citizen,
whatever his political scutiments, will Im protected
in his rights; the unlawful use of arms will be pre
vented, if posssible, and if not prevented, will bo
punished; and couspiracy, sedition and treason will
raise their heads onlj- to be immediately subdued by
the strong hand of military power. The ('eueral
commanding this department has instructed the dis
trict nnd post commanders to "act in aid and co
operation, and in subordination to the civil authori
ties," in maintaining the peace and insecuringa free
election. The power of both governments is thus
pledged to peace, order and tranquility.
It is specially enjoined on all officers of the De
tailed Militia to observe the "act to organize a militia
of North Carolina," and to act in strict subordination
to the civil power. And all Magistrates, Sheriffs and
ther peace officers arc also specially enjoined to be
vigilant, impartial, faithful and firm in the discharg
of their duties, magnifying and enforceing the law,
ferreting out offenders, protecting the weak against
the strong who may attempt to deprive them ot their
rights; to the end that the wicked may be restrain
ed, the peace of society preserved, the good name
of the State maintained, and the. government per
petuated on the basis of Freedom and Justice to alL
Done at our City of Raleigh, on the 12th day
of October, in the year of our Lord one
l J thousand eight hundred aird sixty-eight,
and in the ninety-third of our Independence.

The World. .
Love built a etately house; where Fortune came;
And spinning fancies eh was heard to say,
That her fine cobwebs did support the frame,
Whereas they were supported by the same;
Hut Wisdom quickly swept tbenx all away.
Then Pleasure came, who, liking not the fashion,
Began to make balconies, terraces, -Till
she had weaken'd all by alteration;
But reverend laws and many a proclamation
Reformed all at length with menaces.
Then enter'd Sin, and with that Sycamore
Whose leaves first sheltered man from drought
and dew, .
Workiug and winding sHly evermore,
The inward walls and summers cleft aad tore;
But Grace shored these, and cut that as it grew.
Then Sin combined with Death in a firm band,
To raze the building to the very floor;
Which they effected, none could them withstand,
But Love and Grace took Glory by the hand,
And built a braver pallace than before.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY! -Dr.
Byrn's Magic Pain Cure.
This is a new and wonderful Medicine.. It is used
for the various forms of Headache, which, in ordin
ary cases it cures in a few minutes time? also,
Neuralgia, Nervousness, 'Cold in Ihe Head, and
Weakness of the Nerves, is speedily- brought'under
its influence. Ordinary or mild cases of Catarrh in
the Head, can also be checked by its use, and pre
vented from going further, which is f r great impor
tance, and even cases of long standing can be cured
by persevering in the use of the medicine. It is per
fectly harmless, and is warranted to give satisfaction.
: People" often express wonder and astonishment to
find themselves so suddenly relieved from all pain '
yet the remedy contains no Opium, . no Chloroform,'
no Ether, nor any thing of a narcotic nature. It is
prepared from roots, barks, leaves, gums and flowers,
and is absolutely harmless, even for ah infant. This
remedy is a nervine, and is used as a liqnid, and this
is one reason why it cures so quickly There are no
diseases more common than those for which it is re
commended. Millions of suffering mortals would be
willing to pay almost any price to secure a few' hoars
relief and rest, if they knew of a remedy that would
give immediate ease.- Then by all means be cured

The Southern Hepatic Pills,
That old long known and well tried remedy
for all BUlious diseases, caused by a
DISEASED LIVER. -
Jig-Read the following CERTIFICATES from
persons of the highest respectability .g
; LIVER COMPLAINT.
Rev, Db. C, F., Deems, (August 23d, 18H2.) sajnj
"I have derived great benefit from those Pills, aud
have known many families and individuals who have
found them very beneficial, and I have also known
physicians in excellent standing to recommend tlieiu
to their patients For all discuses arising from Un
orders of the liver, I believe they are the best medi
cine offered te the public." - -
Rev. Joint V. Pottek, Snow Hill, N C, (January
6th, 18G3.) says: "For twelve years I was a great
sufferer. My liver was diseased. ' I lost' my fleh
and strength, , and my skin seemed changed in its
color by the bile with which iny system was over
charged. I became subjccTtd frequent and violent
attacks of billions cholio, every attack leaving me
weaker than its predecessor. The physicians had
been aide to patch me np a little, but my health wast
in a deplorable state. I had taken patent mcdiciuM
'until I was tired of them.. , Without energy or com
fort, I was barely abU to go about a little. Atlcngth
I yielded to the earnest persuasion of a friend and
commenced taking the HEPATIC PILLS, with no
confidence in them. They acted like a charm on me.
From that hour I have improved. I have persevered
in their use, until now, by God'a blessing, I am well
and hearty. I had a negro man, who, as I believe,
was saved from death by a dose of these Pills. My
Doctor's bill was annually from $100 lo $200, but I
have had no use for a physician since. 1 can confi
dently recommend them as a superior family medicine.
