It is reported tbal the lea Urs of ttie
bourbon Democracy, ,have rai ied a lare
lot of money to fee certain Rjpublioans
to work against the alliance. Let this
be as.it may these parlies are certainly
working in the interest of the bourbon
Democracy, and the sooner, the people
awake to their interest the gre iter will
be the ibances of our success,
In firginia the Republicans formed
an alliance witn tue reaaju3ters ana
the ftd ministration supported the move
ment, and the result was a grand vic
tory for -j.be people. In North Caroli
na the people have an ; independent
movement; it took hhape in opposing
class legislation, and formed a com
mittee known, as the anti-prohibitionists.
The Republican -comuiitteu sup
ported the moyement- and we carried
the state by 116,000 majority. Now
this anli prohibition committee is still
thoroughly organized and intend to put
out a ticket. Should the Republican
state convention conclude to work in
uarmonj with! them - in the general
movementof1 defeating the bourbon
Democracy, it will not be for the purpose
of turning the R?publicQ party into a
a whiskey party. Our 'party has at all
times fought class legislation, but has
ever since it first organized been in fi
vor of temperance. The Republican
party of North Carolina is to-day, a
temperance iparty, but'dors not, and
never will, advocate class legislation,

EoiTor. of the Times: Iu the
Gresboro North Slate, of the llth inst.
I notice the followinc paragraph:.
! We have the word of Mr. Gorham.
editor of the ' National liepublican, that
Dr. Mott and the anti-prohibition Re
publicans will not ask to intrude the
temperance question on our state con
veution. Mr. Gorham has interested
himself in our political welfare, and
has given the situation his c'ose study
and attention, j We feel sure in saying
that Dr. M att and his friends will op
pose iu our state convention any pro
posed coalition with the anti-probibi-tionists.
As we understand it tbey are
pledged to tbftt course." . '
I did say .to I Mr. Gorham that. I,
speaking for myself, was willing to do
and say just as little as possible offen-!
sive to the gentlemen composing the
prohibition wing of the Republican
party in our state convention! And
this,! have since reiterated, believing
it-sufficient to go just far enough to
rebuke the bourbon Democracy for its
attempt upou the liberties of the peo
ple and to denounce the. means .'tbey
used to accomplish their purposes
through class legislation, and do a,
little violence as possiblo to the feel
ings of those good Republicans who
joined them in iSSl, under, I then aud
now believe, ft delusiou, as ty the real
objects of the. Democracy.
I never sartl to any one aud cannot
seo how, the-' 2&r(h Stale could possibly
so understand that 'I and my friends
would oppose ib our stute Convenlion
;tiy jiropored coalitiou with the antfc
prohibitionists." '.'as we understand
it they arc pledged to that course."
:T To whom am I and my friends
pledget!? I ask the North State to an
swer. . -'.-' ": - ' - v-.
I deny that any suh pledges , have
been mailt-; . The V.ateuient is false and
maliciouslyr so. No truthful person
t 11 you so, ilr. Notjh itate and none
can'be fouud who will so say.
I I never pledged "anything about Jt,
aud only expressed a willingness not to
push, cffeusively, the prohibition ques
lion beyond ucllimits as would leave
our position undoubted by the voters of
North Carolina.

To The Post : Ridiculing the libe
ral movement seems to be the favorite
tactics of Bourbon papers for the last
few weei. Slang epithets are hurled
at the leaders, and the masses are told
by these same journals that it will all
end in a fizzle, that it has no strergth,
that the regular Democratic organiza
tion will sweep the state like a whirl
wind, f Change your tactics, your bun
combe gas will not frighten those
Democrats who bare come to the con
clusion to join in a liberal movement ;
they have come to this conclusion af
"t mature deliberation and cannot be
tUMk?u by such silly editorials as are
now issued to the public each week
The Democrats who are now ; making
their departure are not sore heads they
are of the bone and sinew of the lanU
and certainly have the right to express
their own political opinions. Is not
this a free contry ? Have not freemen
the right to make s. manly and open
declaration of their views, and submit
them to the people in the coming con
testZr-From the tone of the editor al
emanating from the Bourbon paper-, ii
seems that tbey have not," but must
continue to blindly follow the ; man
dates of. the present Democratic orga
nization. In several campaigns tho
colored men were told by the Demo
crats that they were free to vote as tbey
pleased, and were asked to desert their
leaders and vote with the. Democrats
time after time efforts were made by
the Democratic party to iuduc$ the
colored men to vote with them. A
prominint Democrat in this state a few
day since said that the liberal should
be called "the middle Democratic Re
publican negro loving party " ; Wfiat
has this man done in his political lift ?
be has not ouly voted lor several colot
ed men as a bid for their vote?, but it
was mainly du j to his influence t iai
a colored man received an important
position by Democratic vote. Tue
thing however did not work ; the tally
was sweet, but was no go. One of ibe
most unponant conventions that ever
asaembled iu this state, will be held in
the city of Raleigh on the 7 th of June.
