Riif.d B V TI1K GVKNOi2 OF NORTH it CABOLISA. A PEOCLA.MATIOT'. I Wheres, a number of. public meetings have reeently, been held in various portions ot the State, in some of which threats have been made 6C combined resistance to the execution of the laws of .Congress, in re gard to conscription and the collection of taxes, thereby endangering the publje L peace and tranquility as well t.8 the com- " t mon cause ot independence, which we have si solemnly engaged to defend: And wbereaa, it is. in y sworn duly to see all tbe !awa of the Ir.nd faitLJuiiy executed, and quiet and order maintained within our bor- Now. therefore, I, ZEBULON B. VANCE, Governor ot the State of North Carolina, do issue thisjny Proclamation, commanding all such persons to renounce such evil intentions, .and warning them tu beware ot the criminal and fatal conse quences of carrying sueh threats into exe cution. " , The inalienable and invaluable right of the people to assemble together- and con sult for the common good, together with its necessary concomitants, the freedom of speech and the press, arc secured to you, my countrymen, by the most sacred com pacts. They shall never find a disturber in me. Yet you will remember that the same instruments which guarantee these great rights, also limit you to the exercise of them, within'the bounds of law, and im pose upon me the solemn duty of seeing that these bounds be not transgressed.- The Constitution of the Confederate States, and all laws passed in pursuance thereof, ; are the supreme law of the land ; resist- i ance to them by combination is treason, 1 and without combination, is a high crime against the laws ot your country. Let no one be deceived. So long as these laws remain upon the statue book they shall be executed. Surely, my countrymen, you would not fceek to cure the evils of one revolution by plunging the country into another. You will not knowingly, to the present desolating war with the common enemy, add horrors of internal strife and entire subversion ot law and civil authoritj ! You must not forget the enviable charac ter which ymi have always maintained, as f U1U ; nor would l cive you to torgoi iwj L oc nni.f';f;nA mthl rtf r. I plain, easy and constitutional method of re dressing your grievances. Meet and de nounce any existing Jaws, it you think proper you have that right and instruct your representatives .in Congress or the State Legislature, as the case may be, to repeal them. Your own chosen servants made those obnoxious laws they can re peal them, it such are your instructions. If you regard them as unconstitutional, our Supremei Court sits ready to decide ttpon all cases' properly brought before it. Its decisions are final in the State ot North Carolina, and shall be executed while the power remains in your Executive - to en lorce any law made, but can be most bene ficially effected in the way our farthers marked out by the baliot-box, and the oth er constitutionally appointed means. In times of great public sensibility like the present, any departure from this legal channel is revolutionary and dangerous, and tends to the division and destruction of otir people. It is my great desire, and, I hope, that of all good citizens, that our people should remain united, befall us what may. Should we triumph in the great struggle lor inde pendence, let no leehngs ot revenge, no bitterness mar the rejoicing of that gloria ous'day. . Should we fall, and come short of that great object for which we have struggled so long and bled so freely, let not our strifes and domestic feuds add to tb,e bitterness of defeat, . . Attempt suddenly to change the existing order of things would only result.in blood shed and ruin. I therefore implore you, my countrymen, ot all shades of political opinion, to abstain from assembling to gether lor the purpose d denouncing each nthpr urhothor nt hnmo nr in tha nrm-ir and to avoid seeking any remedy for the evils Of the times by other than legal means and through the properly constituted au thorities.". We are embarked in the holi est of all causes which can stir the hearts of patriots the cause of Liberty and inde pendence. We. are committed to it by every tie that can bind and honorable peo ple. Multitudes of our bravest -and best have already sealed it with their blood, whilst others, giving up all earthly posses sions, are either languishing in dungeons or are homeless wandering through the land, and all have felt, in a greater or less degree, the iron hand of war. A great and glorious nation is struggling, to be born and wondering kingdoms and distant empires are stilled with listening hope and admiration, watching this greatest of hu man events. Let them not, I pray you, be shocked with the spectacle of domestic strife and petty, malignant feuds. Let not our enemy be rejoiced to behold our strong arms and stronger devotion which have of . ten made him tremble, turned against our selves. Let us rather sho v that the God of Liberty ia in His Holy Templethe hearts of freemen and bid all the petty bickering of earth keep silence before Him. Instead or Engaging ia this untrcly and unpatriotic strife and threatening to resist the laws of the land and endangering the peace ot society: let us prepare liiligently and with hopeful hearts for the hardships and sufferings of the coming winter. Heaven has blessed us with labun.dant crops, bat thousands of our poop are una ble to purchas. ( Let us begin W time and tuse every effort to provide fort them and secure them against suffering. VfAnd let us eiert ourselves to the utmost return to duty the many1 brave but misguided men who tia-vet- left their coantrv'a.; flag in the hour of danger, andGod rwill yet . bless hs and our children and Ur eklS chil dren will thank ui fo nWdPfpoiring of the Republic in its darkest hours of disaster. j and still more for adhering to and preserv- iua. a ma me nerv trials 01 war. conserva tive sentiments and the rights arid? civil liberties of the young Confederacy. , V -v In Witness thereof, Zebulon B J L.
