tlie li.jiniiiating ass-Conveution, and
v,T'! have the casting of his proportion
oi tht! vote of his township under his
■ lie individual control. The vote that
each delegate will have depends upon
tlixj number 6f delegates in aftendnnce
(Voiii his township. Ehcii township has
! vventy-five votes, and that number will
be cast whether it has many or few del.
( rites present. A large turnout is do.
: i-able. to the end that a fair expression
of the preference of the jmrty may bo
had in selecting n candidate. It is
earnestly hoped that no township wrtt
be represented by less than twenty-live
delegates." It would bo all the better if
many more than that number could be
present. No matter how many, each
will have his proportion of the twenty,
five votes to which his township is enti
tled. Come on and let Alamance, the
first in tho roll of counties, take a fore,
most place in the Democratic column ;
that is marching to victory all over this
broad land.

The dangers of delays Ui'e sought to |
bo impies; odtippn us, us A general i hiiiy J ■
in very early life, and most of us can {
call to recollection tho tinio when (his ,
warning Was given usin tho words 01
our copy,sot by tho leacher.that it might>
answer the purpose of inculcating a val- i
liable tnith as well as that of a copy 4br !
our imitation. In accuse or particu
lar doei-Ulis daugon pecoino more seri
ous limn in delay to repeal bad laws, or
amend imperfect and defective Ones.
And when these imperfections axi3t in
tlio fundamental la)W tho constitution (
of a htato, tb#flsiitfcr ot a delay cannot •
be mure forcibly illustrated. A people '
gro\fs apathetic .under IDLfitiiiltil and i
even oppressive la" s, fYoin the'lapse of
time. Tho natural iiioliimtiou of all
men Is to be free. Civil liberty is tho
ono great object of our natural -desires
and wishes; yet, by bug continued
tvrauuy the love of liberty that is born
with us ia blunted or crushed out, and
a people become 3 careless of its bless
ings. Our present Constitution was
forced upon tho Slate, a.\d after the
hp«c of a half dozen vearsouLy, we eau
discover that our people have begun to
grow apathetic and careless, it' an op
portunity had been offered, soon after
its becoming the fundamental law of
Ihe State, such as new presents itself
fbr its amendment, there would, among
nil but radicals, not only have been no
dissent, but the wildcat enthusiasm
everywhere would have greeted the
chance ot conforming our vbustJtuttou
to tho Wants of our poopie. And this
zeal is not the less manifest no * because
the Constitution his proven loss utisult
ed to tho wants of our poopie than'was
predicted thai it would, but because we
liiive iu ajueiuiue become accustouved
to bear its burdens, itn lucouveiiicucies,
hs ddbdeßcies, its iucongmitS 's, and
avagance it lia^eiuaiitHi.
The old lady's remark w'ns uot entire
ly meaningless, when, upon being re
monstrated with for hor cruelty in skin- !
ning live eels, roplied, that they were
used to it. And among no people can
delay ot this character bs more danger
ous than among ours. Our people are
cminoutly conservative, and ever
have been. They disliko changes, to
nt extenttliat would cause them, to di
rt uro evils and inconveniences too long
perhaps. -
Take this characteristic, and couple
it with the effect always produvied by
long suffering and becoming accus
tomed to laws, usages and regulations,
and wo will see tho danger iu delaying
~ ameiKpuents to our present defective
ConstitttliiM. Apathy and carelessness,
may fasten this instrument upon us
Bud our children. Tyrants pervert hu
| man nature until their subjects prefer
tvranv. Constant oppression will
I make slaves ling their chains, an.l re
pel the goddess of liberty her.sell. The
| republican party elevatCU tha negro
I from the lowest conditioirof slavery to
;,n position midway between that and
: ]>ir/cct freedom; and at- the same
1 time it dragged the white man from the
| highest pinacle of freedom to a posi
-1 tio:i midway between that and the most
j abjaet slavery; and by the forceof pow
j er it has kept him there, until his nobler
ni/ibitions and aspirations have lost of
1 their strength and activity; awlapatny,
j a carelessness and a supiness is already
I Visible in the want of a demonstrative
I zeal,in seizing the opportunity now . ex
| tended to him to rise to his former ele
-j vated posi tion, and become I lie author
■ gi'liip organic law, by which he and his
"children are to be governed, and under
! which they are to live. The five we
have to light is our own indifference;
j the struggle before us is for the recov
ery of our w on tod manhood, iifidthe re
kindling of the smouldering tires of lib.
orty and freedom, full and broad, for us
; and«our children, and forall within the
j - - —■-
! borders of oui' • rand old state, the birth
j place of American independence, and
true manly liberty.
TIIK I>OUK .UAi(.
r J'he continued object of the radical
press would seem to be to array, by
| its constant talk of the poor man, one
(class of our fcllow-citizcns against au-
I other, that is, if we bad enough rich
; men sinot'o' us to constitute a distinct
i
j class. Efforts in this direction have ever
! been justly regarded as the most djsrep
| uUbie of tlie tricks of fhc demagogue.
| The radical party made the present
| cqnstifutiou, and in its provisions is to
j bo tound great' oppression to the pocr
j man, an oppression that in yrany cases
j amounts to n praclical denial of reme-
I dies to the poor man, for the, cnforce
j nient of his rights. A constitutiofi :'s not
made lor the rich nor the poor, but for
all, and should bo equally careful of the
rights of lhe one as the other. The poor
man's ljaw-stiits involving a fewdollars,is
of as much consequence to him as the
rich man's law-suit involving hundreds
or thousands, llowever unjust the result
of a trial in a magistrates court may be
the poor man with his few dollars at
stake is practically Unbidden and pre
vented from going beyond It. No ap-'
peal from a judgment in a iongistrate's
court can bo had, under our present
Constitution, by the plaintiff where the
amount sued for is twenty-five dollars
or less, riilsss upon a dry question of
law. It makes no difference how un
just, nor how contrary to the real facts
tho findings o£ that court may bo, tliero
is no help, unless the amount sued for is
o*cr twenty-five dollars.
If the suitor wishes to take his chances
of appealing from a question of law, he
must in order to be in a condition to do
so r 4jo to his county town or elsewhere,
nud li.ro liis lawyer, and carry him to
the trial, (very few of them have any
way of going themselves) and have him
watch tho Justice of the Peace, in or
der that an appeal may bo taken, if the
judgment is not satisfactory. And this
can only be done for error iu law; and
there is not one ease iu ility before a
magistrate when thereisrealy a question
of law involved at all. The laets as as
certained decide everything, lint you
can't appeal unless there is an error in
law. And if the judgement turns out
to bo satisfactory there is your lawyer
to pay, just because you had to have
hint' there to provide against a contin
gency. The poor man should have ac
cess to all tho court? (bradetermination
ot hit rights, though only his few dol
lars may bo involved, iierhaps the earn
ings of his liouest toil for a few months,
that the rich mail has access to for the
determination of his rights, involving
his hundreds or thousand*, tho result
perhaps of a grand speculation upon
tho poor maus labor.
Equal rights ami privilege-for the
poor man with the rich man wo sa.7,
bat under the present constitution it
cannot l>e because the constitution for
bids it.
Evovy one remembers the bold stand

I accept the issue, and as they liad acted
conscientiously, were willing to abide
by the result. Wo arc. glad to learn
through a letter fromMnj. Foote, to the
Italoigh A'cu-s, that ho is sustained by
the people of Wilkes in the moat enthu
siastic way. He says: ** I am proud of

KEPtBIJCJIIV PROGRAMME.
Alter the passage of the act calling a
convention, some republican editors
j met in the city of Newborn, on the first
| day of April, as it is said, and as, from
I reading the resolutions, we believe, for
I the purpose of secretly adopting a plan
!of campaign in which there should he
I uniferiuity. Their oposition to constitu
j tional reform,we are constrained to be
| lieve arises solely from a disposi/ion to
j oppose any thing democratic in its ori
| giu. This conclusion wo are driven to
I from a consideration ol the pretexts
I they give for their opposition. That
I they fail to bring one satisfactory reason
| or argument against the call of a con
i volition, worthy the attention of a mod
! ately well inlormed man, must in cau-
I dor bo conceded by themselves, or
I any claims of a knowledge of pur peo
ple, and of their wants, to which they
may pretend, must be forfeited. But
their plan of campaign, as revealed by
their resolves, does not place us in a
condition to be disappointed l at their
course. They in effect resolved to mis
lead and deceive to the extent of their
' ability; and it is but just to say that they
arc industriously engaged in the dis
charge of this self-imposed iguoble task.
The following are the resolutions as we
take them fi-om the Tlaleigh 'JVewT. 3T
perusal of (hem will reveal, better than
we can tell it, the desperation of the
party. J
Head them fair minded honest repub
lican, and ask Vourself if you can lon
ger act with a party upon a measure
where trickery the last resort of des-1
pcrate gamesters, is the sole depone'- ]
cncc:
, NULLIFICATION.
Resolved 1, That ft is deemed by this asso- I
elation good policy for Republicans to support
none for Delegates to Convention but those
who will pledge themselves to advoeate an
immediate adjournment of that body, in tins
hi aimer, defeating the purpose of those who
compelled this call for Convention contrary to
the wi.-hes of a large majority of the voters of
North Carolina, and saving a vast outlay of
money to the people.
CONBPIKACY BETWEEN TIIE LEADERS AND
THE PRESS,
Ttcsolved 3, That the State Executive Com
mittee is hereby respectfully requested, by an
address or otherwise, to recommend this
policy to"he voters opposed to Convention ;
and that the Newspapers connected with the
association will heartily uphold the policy
herein indicated and use every endeavor to
disseminate tills idea among the people.
Resolved 3, That there is no more effectual
guide to political sentiment than an out
spoken and independent press, and that it is
incumbent upon office-holders who are pecu
niarily benefitted by the success of their
means, to the sustenance of their party pa
pers.
HELP ME CABSIOUS OR I SINK!
Jiesolv'd 4 That the Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of each Congressional
District of North Carol'ua be requested to so
licit the office-holders of the District, both
Skate and Federal, to subscribe for a greater
or miosis number of the Republican journals of
his District to furnish the I'ost-oflice address
and names to the Editor, with a view of cir
culating such newspapers among the people.
Tho Secretary is instructed to send a copy of
this resolution to the Chairman of each Dis
trict Executive Committee.
J lesolued 5, That this Association will oppose
the appointment to office of men who are
unwilling to contribute to the support of Re
publican Newspapers; and under proper cir
cumstances, will use its iitlluenci. to oust
office-holders who show such illiberal spirit.
,y OFF WITH TUEIR HEADS !
Resolved C, That the Association condemns
tlio employment in Federal offices of those
who are unwilling to vote the Republican
ticket, and that the employment of 6ueh per
sons will be deemed a sufficient eause, when
ascertained, to impel tiiis association to use its
influence lor the removal of the heads of
officers who thus abuse the confidence of the
Republican party.
THE USURY LAW TO BE U3ED FOB THE AD
VANCEMENT OF THE REPUBLICAN PAKTY.
lic.iolved 7, That tlic passage of the Usury
Law is of doubtful utility and that it is likely
to cause much distress to the people : and that
while it is not recommended that the Repub
lican Press shall take decided grounds for, or
against it, it is deemed advisa!«te to take snch
advantage of an uu|>opu!sr law as will enure
to the advantage of the Republican party.
MUM ON REPUDIATION,
Resolved 8, That no true Republican ought
to ftdvocatc repudiation of tile State debt But
it is deemed most fitting that Republican
I" ewspaporß should not at present discuss the
question.
CIVII. KIUIITS A LIVING ISSUE.
Rrsofred 9, That ai extended discussion of the
Civil Righto Bill is deemed unadvisable, bnt
that the Republicans should nevor intimate
that the bill is wrong in principal, or that It
witl be disastrous In its operations, and U 1s
believed time will show the people that no evil
need be apprehjndcd from its enactment.
Re* Weed 10, That the attacks of certain
Democratic Newspaper* upon the Judges of
tl.c Buprcnle Court because of the gauge de
cision, is infamous and ought to be condemned
without qualification, by Republican News
papers.
A RAILROAD POLICY (ONE OF THE CON
SPIRATORS, A RAIL ROAD ATTORNEY.)
Rsfiolrtl 11, That Republicans are in favor
of Consolidation and that they do not regard a
i haiijrc of gausc detrimental to that project
but believe if carried out in good faith iu its
I full Scope, ihit it would materially assist lu
building up the North Carolina System from
MorcUcad City to the Tennessee line.
fH..! IBS AND POP GUNS.
Rrwrfwd 12, That pungent paragraphs and
short articles are recommended to oar Newt
papers.
"OURS ARE THE PLANS OF FAIR DELIGHT
FUL Pg ACE."
Resoiocd IS TL'at the Republican Newspapers
represented In thla Association, whether by
letter or by personal representation, will co
operate so far as possible hi matters of opin
ion, and that they will espeuiaDy refrain from
disagreements and quarrels with each other,
and so far as la consistent with right and
truth they agree to stand by one another.
HELP ME, AGAIN.
Resofoed 14, That thla Association appeals to
the Chairman of th« Executive Committee to
urge upon the Chairman of District Couimit
teii oiid office-holder* the urgent necessity of
suJlalnlng the Republican Press of the State,
leaving the matter of solicitation to his judg
ment.
Rrsohxd 15, That copies of these resolutions
"ieJorwarded by the Secretary, \ together with
the proceedings of this meeting to every Re
publican Newspaper here represented, and to
editor who has responded to the call by
letter ; and it is understood that these proceed
ingt are not to be publshed, but t\e resolution*
are for the ~ > cot\fidentiai" use and guidance of
the editori concerned.

the 30th the vessel fell in with a field of

On the outside ot this issue we publish,,
at length, the address of the Democratic
Conservative Central Committee, to the
people of the State. "We hope all will
read it attentively and consider it well.-
The call for Convention has been made,
and it only remains for the delegates to
be elected. That our best men for the
purpose should be sent all must agree.
The approaching election is one of vast
consequence.. Our people should bo
fully atffused to its importance. The
Convention will certainly assemble.
It is restricted and so far as the Demo
cratic party is concerned there will bo no
attempt to override the restrictions.' If a
majority of republicans are elected these
restrictions will in their action be dis
regarded, and all the trouble of a resort
to the courts, and the confusion caused
thereby will be entailed upon us. All
that is necessary is for the people to
become groused to a due appreciation
of the importance of the question before
them, and to this end all should exert
themselves.
"We all have a (July to perform in this
matter, one touching ourselves, our
neighbors and our children. The lie
publicans have made it a party ques
tion. They hope to 'make capital by so
doing. A few of those who would not
place party behest'before the wants
and interests of the State, and its peo
ple, voted for tho call; and are for Con
stitutional retorm. These included the
ablest men the party had iq tho Legis
lature. A better era is dawning upon
us, and the whole country. The people
are everywhere rebuking oppression and
corruption, and driving their authors
from place and power. Peace and
good will, and just government,
for all, is in the near future. To have
a government and laws suited to our
people we must amend the Constitution.
To amend it is for the benefit of all,
and let us all take an interest in it— an
active interest, such as its importance
demands.
