Vance and Mr, IIoldenA Con- -. trast. Both Gov. Vance and Holden claim to be the sol dierV friend. Let U3 examine their relative preten sions.' - ' 1. Governor Vance, though originally opposed to the warf no sooner found hi9 country engaged in it, than he raised a company, hastened to the field, and did his' duty faithfully, until called to another position. Holden, after teaching" secession for years and doing more than any man in North Carolina to bring on the 'war, quietly skulked in his printing ofSte, preached the doctrine of the last man and this 'last -dollar," and "cried "go it boys, we i. e. every body but rayselt &nd family must tight' to . the bitter end " Ike. He has also kept his son, a folgrown and able bodied man, in a safe position, preventing him from participating In the dangers and'-hardships of the soldiefc-'s life, and considering him too-good to take his. chances in the field with the thousands of brave men from North Carolina. WhicVof' the two hss shown himseW the better ' friend" of the soldiers the man who has gone with them into the battle field, shared with them their Xoils and suffering, and helped them to bear the h'ejavy. twen of their hard lot or the one who has kpt himself and son in safe places, living lux- -T - ----- ---- . r f -j uriously e,very day, and contributing nothing, by i tiresfcnee or -example, to chetr the brave defenders of our co'untry ? v . 2. Gov. Vance ?ent an agent abroad, on his own responsibility, purchased and imported an abundant supply of clothing, shoes, arms and food for the sol diers themselves, and cards for their families. In hTs xayj.they .have, been ; made more comfortable than the soldiers -from any other State so much ....... j . : r . -so in fact as to excite the emulaTicrvand admiration . of;thb whole Confederacy.. I ' Holden isVbitter enemy cf 44 blockade-running." He has tried in overy way to put an end to it. He has abused Gqv. Vance for thus providing for our brave men. .. He. would sell our ships to day, and leave pur soldiers' to'.suffer. for the comforts which! nhey nOwn enjoy, and which they have earned by sa much bloodshed and sufferings. .- Who is the "soldier's friend." Gov. Vance who has jolieved their necessities, provided for tbem every possible comfort, and made them' the admiration of the Confederacy, r "V. W. Holden, who is opposed . to the whole system by which their wants hate. "been supplied, and who would put an end to it as soon 'as; possible? V , Gov. Vance is sincerely desirous of peace. He proposes to negotiate ,for it promptly and in the only available way. His election will do more than anything olse. to put an end to the war,, since it will . convince the .Yankees that we are a united people : that there is no serious dissensions among us that North Carolina. is resolved to standrup to her sis- ters in i this contest . His success will prevent the State from liking a. position which' would briog her in collision Witb the Confederacy, and add the hors roraf of a'civil war to the cno aheady existing. In 9 jw.ord,' hj keeping him in, power, peace will be : secured upon the basis of indepeadence, another Secession; with its accompanying horrors, .will be : PTcTtpted, and North Carolina will preserve her in tegrity and honor. .' r I .JEIotdeh pretends to be for pesc, hut he proposes i to make, it by separate State action, by. meant of a , Cpnyention, by 4,s wallowing another dose of seces sion.' Thus so far from accomplishing its object he ' Sronldpluhge1 us into' another war, would bring us in wuuiga wtiu iue urave uieu uy wocse siae our own SoTdierbaVe fotlgLt so long and .gloriously. So far ' peace;. It would. entaiFupon us an eternal war.! ,' His election would b a regarded by the Tankeea: as "evincing a disposition ' upen the' part of iNcth .

Vance, though deploiiiig the stern neces sity of .the case, has always encouraged thft soldiers, to stand up to their colors, to dlo their duty faith fully and to desert under ho circumstances. By his clemency and-.Undnesi many; rho4 had, forfeited their lives by desertion have been rescued from their fate and saved to their country and tneir fami lies. He has al ways been "upoq the side of mercy ( and has never failed to exert bis influence in behalf of the misguided men who had hit their regiments. The blood of no deserter is upon hi3 hands. Holden, whether intentionally or not, has, by his teachings anddoctrines by arraigning the authoru ties, complaining of . officers, taking gloomy view of our prospecU, 'insionating doubts as to the justice of the war that ha hadjjelped to' bring on, ' and by his paftizanship in general induced many a poor fellow in an evil hour to desert his colors and to seek an asylum in the cave$ and woods around his home. Hundreds have been fcaught and shot, many of them, in their last moments, declaring that he was the real author of their misfortunes. He has done nothing to avert the doom of a single man. He has brought many a brave feoldier to an untime ly grave. There i$?b!ood upon! his h ands, the" blood of gallant but inconsiderate men, who have listened, to his unpatriotic counsels. I Who is the better "friend Jf the soldiers The man who has advised them tj stand up like meri,v. however hard their lot, and who has saved numbers from an ignominious death, o$. the one who, as a mere matter ot political capital' his pursued?, course from which so "much suffering and sorrow have re suired, and who so far. from saving a single one of those who have barkened to iisteachings,.has been j the indirect cause of the death of so many of his " misguided fellow-countrymen ? Soldiers of North Carolina I You who have stood so long and bravely in the presence of "the enemy who in defence of your country have made- the grandest sacrifices, and performed the most glorious L deeds recorded in history w!ho constitute the 'no blest army of martyrs" that approving Heaven has. smiled upon since man first aspired to be free will you desert a roan who under all circumstances has shown himself your faithful friend, in order to ele vate one who has no elattrrshpW'you for a single act of kindnessfriendship'or consideration ? Can you refuse your support to Gov. Vance, the soldier, the statesman, and the patriot, for lhetpurpose of. electing W. W. Holden, the skulker, the parlizah, and the demagogue ? Thcsje questions are Tor you to decide, and., we await your answer "with ho fears for the result , That .the oldiers will give - our " model Governor" a most Cordial and overwhelm--ing support, is as much a matter of certainty, as that the sun shines to day and will rise tomorrow. Keep it- Before the- Soldiers, That Holden and Pennington haye both continued to makera furious warfare on Gov.-. Vance's great and successful project.-of runningvthe blockade, by 1 . , . . . u whicli our soldiers have been clothed and shod bet- ter than those of - any other State, and thousands of cards and other necessary supplies for their wives arid fiuiilies have been brought in and distributed. Think of this,' ye men in' the trenches, bleeding, for your country that the mar) who Beeksyour votes is abusing the Government for clothing and shoeing you, and. feeding your. sick, and wounded, and try kig to clothe and feed yoiir wives and little ones ! Forty thousand pair cf cotton cards have been im ported by Gov. Vance, and distributed among your wives at home at $5 per plir, when the market price was $G0. How could , you have got them on your pay of $11 per montbj but for Gov. Vance's kind ness and foresight. 1 ; I ' ! r .

One by one, have all the men of prominence, whether of the old Whig, or of the old Democratic, party in this State,. declar ed themselvrs in favor ofi.Gov. Vance, and against W. W. Holden. Graharp, Badger, Pearson, Brown, Morehead, Gilmer, Donnell, Warrdn, Boy den, Smith,' Fuller, Ramsay, aad.others, have all come out for Vance. They say he is jthe right man, and in 'the right place he has made a most excellent Governor that lie has been tried and hot found. wanting his administiatwn has been eminently successful that he has done all that mortal "man could have .. - . . done, 'under the circumstances, for the soldiers and their families, and to; promote the honor and glory cf North Carolina. ;Io the people and our brave soldiers inuhe army believe "that Mr. Holden has more brain more sense! more wisdom-' and more patriotism, than the uni ed intellect and wisdom of North Carolina's most distingished sons?
