. Of the magnitude of Gov. Yance'a villany, treach
ery, and vulgarity the big and little Standards
have kept the 'public duly informal their fertile
imaginations never being at a loss either to invent
or improve upon facts. But the last and crowning
, outrage committed by this unworthy Governor of
ours, is really too shoeing to speak of ! Yet trie
stern duties, of a faithful journalist .compels us to
blurt it'out. Holden says his (Vance's) ticJceU are
printed on yellow paperX Great God! And he
saya; this K -a violation of the law which Yance
swore to enforce Is- Worse and worse !.!-and that
those' tickets are 44 detectors," to enable people to"
know .who .votes for Holden. The Lord have mercy
upon usT Is it really ".agin the law " to-vote on
"yetfow paper"-Does the Statute really say that the
' ticket must be white, ( an emblem of peace " hay,
rather of surrender) as well as rolled vp f Is it a
crime to vote for Holden, that one may be detect
ed " in f Are Mr. Holden's, friends afraid or asfiained
to let' their preference be known ? If it were de
sirable" to detect" every man voting for Holden, it
could be done very easily, V7thbit .the yellow paper,
as they are all advised to vote a "rolled up " ticket,
and the Vance men, we are assured, will vote
openly."
.Altogether, this is the most remarkable effort, at
deluding the people, that we have ever known in the
histery of free elections. A candidate for Governor
who refuses to meet his competitor in open discu3-
aion upon the great issues of Ufa and death which are
upon the" country, but does all his electioneering in
secret, and advises his friend3 not to canvass-i-de
fends and apologizes for a secret and treasonable so
ciety sworn to destroy the country which he
seeks to govern finally comes out and advises all his
supporters to sneak up to the polls and vote Tolled
.up tickets, :in defiance of all thaf is manly among
freemen. And complains that his enemies are not
. mean and cowardly enough , to follow, his ex'am-
pie, hut jwant their tickets enj paper that all" the
.worldmay know ! . ".- ; ' '
. But we have a better opinion of Holders friends
than he has" himself. "We hope and believe that
.many of them despising his dastardly counsel, will
walk up boldly and manfully, like our free forefath
j "ers have always done, and vote independently for
the mauof.their choice, We. want.'.Gqv. Vance's
. , friends to do" so . everywhere. What is to hinder
everybody from doing so ? What ground is - there
for these spaniel whines, so industriously put forth
by HQlden, that his friends will not be allowed to
TOte ? Who said so ? Who could prevent it, it ho
nas twenty tnousana majorityj in the btate, as we
learn he claims t There is no trround for it. It is a
rniserable attempt to procure sympathy ; one of the
honest arts " "of this very small Biirke, who blows
a very smair trumpet of A is oitn. That's all. No
friend of free government desires to ste any man co
erced in. his suffrage. The sneajung attempt has
been "especially made among our soldiers to injure
. Gov. .Vance. If anjmin.on eaftli has the. right' to
vote for whom he pleases, and as ha pleases it is the
t soldier, through whose -valor we are allowed to vbte
. . atalL We do not believe their ofilcers or anybody
; ' 1 else will interfere with thir right m the- slightest
: degree, yhe election there, we doubt not, will be
- just as it Is at home. And no amount of freedom
and fairness can save Mr. Holden from such an
" overwhelming defeat, js will make him curse the
j : dayon'which be let his -unhaHowed ambition stab
' with' the traitor's blow the man who sajed him and
. ihb property, i from destruction split and perhaps
A destrej the Conservative party the main hope of
civil liberty and worse than all, endanger the indc-
"ipendencc and stability and honor of his country.

'The following letter has been left ' to our disposal
by Gov. Vance :
Pittsboro.
iJuly 15th, J864.
Hi Excellency. Z -J. Yance, Gbvemor-of JVT. C.
Sir : About the last of March p.f first of April last,
I attended a meeting of the "Heroes Of Aemerica '1
without knowinghether there jwas any society or
net, or what was its objscts or anything else connec
ted wilh it. I was merely request, by a man of
my acquaintance,' to attend at a certain house in
Chatham county, where I would learn something
which would be to my advantage and not disadvan
tage, and that I would meet there Rsv. O. Church
hill, who was the pastor of the church my family be
longs to, who informed me he would explain the whole
secret to me Ori tke morning ar.pointed, I went to
the house as directed, for I had Igreat confidence in
Mr. Churchhill. . Mr dhurchhili was not there but
I found several persons ther my. neighbors and
friends,. all,' as I believed, loyal men; and. among
them 3rt.1WV H. Smith, of Wake county, whoaid
that he had been requested toj, meet us, by Mr.
Cbujrchhill, and who initiated me.
After we had taken the oath he explained to us
what was meant by it,' to- wit : that there was noth
ing in it for or against the North, or for, or against
tne fcoutn tnat it naa notmng ao with my reli
gious or political opinions, but as no one knows
whether we would be subjugated or not, or, whether
we would be subjected to raids 'Or not, that it . was
intended simply for the protection of our property.
I was not satisfied with this explanation, although
I had no idea that one half was 'embraced in it
which I now see. I was then solicited to take pa,
pere and initiate -this I declinedj On my nextsceing
lILn. Meiritt, I asked hhn if there were any promi
bent men in Raleigh in it, he told me, there w'as-
but this,' he has since told me, was mistake.
All this time I was anxious to! get out of the cons
cerh and get relieved from my Xgation to keep it
secret, but did not know Jiow,. although 'I never at
tended but .this one meeting, and as seon as I;eaw
the statements in the paper as to how I " might get
rid of it, I went before a justice of .the peace of this
county,' and. made the affidavit required on 30th of
June, 186. J. E. JOHNSON,
I
Wealaft give the following communication- to His
.Excellency, with-the affidavits annexed. We are
satisfied thai all goodand loyal men .who have .been
entrapped into this concern; upon : ascertaining its
treasonable and infamous, character, will makespeedy
and prompt recantation.' We feel free to say that
pardon and "beolution will be tranted all such.
But woe to those who" persevere iin their wickedness
