Having assembled In the City of Raleigh on the 27th
of March, 18C7, In conformity with a timely and patriotic
call, reflecting the sentimenta of tho loyal men of the
State, and believing the time is at hand when an open
and fearless expression of sentiments, opiniou, and par
pose is urgently demanded : therefore,
1. Revolted, That in view of our present political
condition, our relations to the National Government and
the people of all sections of the country, we do this day
with proud satisfaction unfurl the brilliant and glorious
banner of The Republican Paktt, and earnestly ap
peal to every true and patriotic man in the State to rally
to its support.
The snlendid and natriotic record made bv this great
political organization, in standing by the general gov
ernment with an Inflexible resolution, in carrying for
ward profound measures of statesmanship to a success
ful issue, and the powerful aid given by it in finally
overthrowing and prostrating the most gigantic rebel
lion of ancient or modern times, should command the
respect and challenge the admiration of every candid
man.
2. Resolved, That thd American Congress is eminently
entitled to the profound. thanks of the whole country
for its persevering, persistent and heroic devotion to the
Seat principles of human rights as enunciated in the
eclaration of Independence ; that in the name of the
Satriotic people of this Stafe we feel warranted in cox
ially assenting to and accepting the reconstruction plan
recently and finally adopted by that body, and to the end
that peace and order may be permanently secured and
every industrial pursuit resumed and encouraged, we
pledge ourselves to use every fair and legitimate means
to influence public sentiment to the nearest possible ap
proach to unanimity on this subject.
3. Resolved, That we rejoice that the dogma long pro
pagated, of the right of peaceable secession under the
Constitution, has been forever overthrown by tho
majestic uprising of the American people, in crushing
out the late rebellion by force of arms ; and that the
doctrine that the supremacy of the general government
has been established, and that the'paramount allegiance
of the citizen has been acknowledged as due to the
United States.
4. Resolved, That we sincerely exult in the fact that
as a nation we are now absolutely a Nation of Fbee
meu, and that the sun in all his course over our wide
spread country no longer shines upon the brow of a
slave. Without reservation we heartily endorse the
great measures of Civil Rights and Impartial .Enfran
chisement without any.property qualification, conferred
without distinction of color, and that we are ready to
nnite in the early practical attainment of these inesti
mable privileges. Although the mortal remains of
Abraham Lincoln now rest silently beneath the soil of
his adopted State, yet his voice still rings like a clarion
through the land, earnestly summoning every American
citizen to the support of the great Party of Liberty and
Emancipation.
5. Resolved, That as the most potent and efficient
means by which the South can speedily regain her lost
prosperity, we earnestly advocate the spreading .of
knowledge and education among all men, and that to the
attainment of this great end, we demand and shall per
sistently and firmly insist upon the absolute right of free
discussion and free speech on all subjects of public in
terest, i
6. Jtcsolved, That we join in an earnest wish for tne
maintenance untarnished and undi mined of the public
credit and plighted faith of the nation. ,
J. Resolved,1 That in the maintalnance of the position
taken and the principles this day avowed, wo earnestly
invite the influence nnd co-oneration of men of all po
litical persuasions, who regard and cordially support the
recent action of Consrcss as a solution, of onr nrcsent
political difficulties ; that we deprecate partisan violence
and desire peace and good will toward all men ; and if
in an open and fearless effort, which we propose to make
on every suitable occasion, to persuade and convince the
people, that our highest duty and truest interest. is to
be subserved by maintaining .the principles of the" Re
publican Party, an earnest interest should be awakened,
it will be from no other cause than a rigid adherence to
what we regard as a eacred right and a solemn public
duty. !
The following resolution was offered by 3Ir. J. E.
O'llara, of Wayne, and adopted :
. Resolved, That this Convention tender their sincere
thanks to Jas. II. Harris for the zealous and efficient
manner . in which ha has labored' at the North for the

REPARATOR CAPILLI.
FOR restoring hair npon bald heads (from whutevcr
cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a growth
of hair noon the face, it has no equal. It will force the
beard to grow npon the smoothest face in from tU to
eight weeks, or hair npon bald heads in from two to
three months. A few ignorant practitioners have as
serted that there Is nothing that will force or hasten tho
growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions arc false,
as thousands of living witnesses (from their own ex
perience) can bear witness. But many will say, how art
we to distinguish the genuine from the spurious? It
certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Pre
parations advertised for tho hair and beard are entirely
worthless, and you may have already thrown away large
amounts in their purchase. To such we would aav, try
the RcDarator. Canllli ; it will cost yon nothing unless It
fully comes up to our representations. Uyour Druggist
docs not keep it, send ns one dollar and we will forward
it, postpaid, together with a receipt for the money,
which will be returned yon on application, providing
entire satisfaction is not given. Address,
