Hendersonville, March 27.The third meeting of the Henderson County central ciur was held in the court house here last evening at the usual hour. The meeting was a large ani enthusiastic one. Stirring speeches were made by Hon. J. Williams, W. C. Rector and others, and the names oi 24 men who place country above party were added to the rolls of the oiuh. hSS Si e'LJtZ.l ing how they are going -to apply thej machine rule, and by so doing prevent enough voters of Henderson county from registering to enable them, ta car- ry the county for the amendment, and elect a ticket of unprinciplel dema- gogues and Simmonsites to the several offices of the county. But it can be said to the very great credit of a majority of the democrats' of Henderson county that they do not approve of such utterances, and this writer believes that there are enough honest, Christian men in the democrat ic party in this county to see to it. that a fair registration is had, both in the town and in the county, and that Jus tice is meted out to every man, not withsAuiding the coxaupt desires of the drunken, rag-tag element, who are al ways on hand, and ever ready to cause trouble and stir up strife. Believing in the old Jeffersonian proverb, "Equal rights to all and spe cial privileges to none," it will, at all times, be the purpose of our anti amendment organization, so far as it is in our power so to do, to sow the seeds of political honesty in the indivicual heart, and see tha" every man in Hen derson county, no matter how poor or how rich, is permitted to register and vote, and have his vote honestly count ed as cast. And we' LpTfeal to all men, regardless of former political affilia tions, to join with us in this great ef fort to prevent the chains of political slavery being fastened upon us, and the building up in the capital of our commonwealth, one of the most gigan tic governmental trusts that ever dis graced a state or nation. We are one people living under one flag, then Let us stand by the flag of freedom, All doubt and treason scorning,, Believe with courage firm and faith sublime, That it will float until the eternal morning Pales in its glories all the lights of time.
