The Cross ( ) Mark is to remind
von that your subscription is about
expiring. Let ail renew promptly.
To tho Worhl at Larjri.
In accordance with a time-honored
usage, wo propose to suspend
our labors during the approaching
holidays, and therefore, the next
number of the Era will not appear
until Thursday. January 6th, 1876.
We have no special apology to
make, because we bel ieve none is ex
pected. Printers, like every body
else, are merely flesh and blood.
The human frame at best is a deli
cate piece of workmanship, and an
uninterrupted strain shatters its
vj- fulness. Wo need rest, both
mental and physical. We want
respite, quiet and ease. We want
to revolve over in our minds the
errors of the past twelve months
and fortify ourselves against their
repetition. We want to look back
and calmly consider whatever of
rood we have been instrumental in
greeting and bolster up for renewed
exertion.
We shali enter upon the new year
more determined than ever to do
our full duy in furtherance of the
principles of the great Republican
pirty. We are firmly convinced,
tlutt ujon their continuance rests
the happiness and general prosperity
of the people of our beloved State
anil common country.
To the Republican party we must
look for Mich e ncouragement as will
enablt
us to successfully promote
1 A I
is uiMtiil aims. W hile the lra i
ver grateful f or whatever of sup-l-rt
it has heretofore received, we
ii.l we may be pardoned for the
a ertion that it has not been such
a- to render it even self-sustaining
luring the past year.
We ar: aware, however, that
many allowances should be made.
Th great mass of the Republican
Prty are oor, and the year just
7 .
iing hits not been a remunerative
.m- to a large class of our feopIe.
l. t u- hope that a new era of pros
jh rity is about to dawn upon us,
ami, that the dark clouds of ad
writy which have for the past few
ik( ntl.s hovered over the monetary
siiriir of the country will be speed
ily dispelled. At any rate we
renew the struggle with in
creased hope and energy, relying
uk ii kind friends and an apprecia
tive people to foster and encourage
ih. loan me citizens oi ourgio
rintH old Commonwealth ; to the
liple of all iKirties, creeds and
eul.rs of this, our beloved country,
and to mankind in general, we ex-
tend the compliments of the season
an 1 greet with a 44 happy New
Year." )
Uurke on Parties.
In viewing the condition of the
Republican party in North Caro
lina, and particularly the numerous
drones occupying places of trust
and profit to the exclusion of ear
net, active, zealous workers for the
Uv-ess of its principles, we have
not deemed it altogether inappro
priate to quote the following
44 Thoughts on the cause of the Pres
tnt Discontent," by Edmund Burke:
" Party is a body of men united
for promoting by their jointendeav

The Era newspaper having re
fused to publish the following reso
lutions, they are therefore printed
in this form, as the expression of
the views of the Republicans of
Chatham, for tho consideration of
the Republicans of the State."
The above is the heading to a cir
cular containing the proceedings of
a meeting of Republicans held in
the town of Pittsboro, Chatham
count v. on the 4th inst.. and which
-
is, we learn, being extensively dh
triouteu. lne simple announce
ment, that the Era 44 refused to
publish" the resolutions, without
giving the basis of such refusal, is
our apology for this notice.
In the first place, we will state,
that there is nothing in the general
tone of the resolutions passed on the
occasion to which we could or did
object. Indeed, they aro but the
repetition of the doctrines which
the Era has at all times advanced
both editorially and otherwise, and
which it will on all proper occa
sions aid to have carried out.-7 The
practice of appointing Democrats
to ofttce has never found favor with
us. We condemn it, and shall con
tinuo to bitterly oppose it as a poli-
cv of the Republican party. The
conduct cf the Era in the past
should be a sufficient guarantee of
its future course in this respect. We
are not fearful of any difference of
opinion among Republicans on this
8Uuject. We. point to our record, and
upon it ask judgment.
Now. a few words in re.'ation to
r
the immediate matter under con
sideration. It is no secret with
many, that feelings of considerable
bitterness have, for some time past,
u . ' , . '
existed between certain gentlemen
of the Republican party in Chatham
county and one or more govern-
ment officials resident in Raleigh,
" . . . ; ;f
e do not propose, nor is it our
province, to lay before the public
" . . I
Mltl ri.in or nmwpfa of these dim-
r--
culties in detail. We know they do
exist, and unfortunately they exist
between political friends. It was
claimed by a prominent Republican
of tin- city of Raleigh that the reso
lutions adopted at the meeting in
Pittsboro contained innuendoes and
alliums which justified him in
making it a personal matter, and it
is well known that this feeling cul
minated in a rencounter between
onP Qf the main participators in the
Pitlshoro meeting and the promi-
nent l&epUMiican uuuuuu u, m nw-
city several days since.
On the day of this difficulty the
proceedings of the meeting in ques
tion were in type, but upon learning
that they had been construed as a
personal attack and learning further
that letters had been received from
prominent Republicans in Chatham
denunciatory of the meeting, we
concluded not to allow their ap
pearance in the Era or to take any
part in what we believed had de
generated into personal strife, at
leagt untii the passions of the hour
i j onesided.
We want it distinctly understood
that the Era will not be drawn into
any feud3 between Republicans.
We have no special friends to re
ward, nor have we any enemies we
wish to punish in the Republican
nartv. Should feelincrs of real or
supposed wrongs degenerate into
personal rancor and hatred, some
other channel than the columns of
this naner must be resorted to for
arbitrament. 44 Ours are the plans
of fair delightful peace" as between
members of a party having in view
the great interests of a common
country. Whatever argument can
be used to strike the hardest blows
to our common enemy will not be
wanting on our part, but we will go
as far as the farthest to stay the

RALEIGH, N. C,
The following resolutions were
introduced by Senator .Morton, cf
Indiana, on the 1". h inst.:
Ilesolved by the & nnte, the House
of Jieprtsentutives concurring, That
the people of the United States con
stitute a nation, and are one people
in the sense of .National unity.
Resolved, That the government
of the United States is not a com
pact between the States in their
I municipal and corporate characters.
I I A r- . . -
uui was i or in cu Dy the people oi the
United States in their prnna.y ca
pacity ; that the rights ui the
States are defined and guaranteed
by the Constitution and not by any
outside theory of State sovereignty,
and that the rights of the States
cannot be enlarged or diminished
except by an amendment to the
Constitution.
Jiesolved, That the rights of the
States have the same sanction and
security in the Constitution as the
rights and powers of the national
government, and that local domes
tic government by the States within
the limits of the constitution is an
essential part of our free republi
can system.
litsolved, That the doctrine that a
State has the right to secede from
the Union is inconsistent with the
idea of nationality, is in conflict
with the spirit and structure of the
constitution, and should be regard-

To the Editor of the Era :
I notice in the Era of November
2.5th, an article commenced, and
concluded in December 2d, signed
44 Native," which for actual facts
and sound logic cannot be surpass
ed. Whether 44 Native" is a native
really or not, I do not presume to
question but be this as it may, I
undertake to say without the fear
Qf succesdfui contradiction, that he
(Native) speaks the sentiments of
an overwhelming majority of the
hard-fisted sons of North Carolina,
especially of Chatham, of which
tne writer of this is a nalivem Tne
true yeomanry of this country who
t . ,
cnance to real "rsauve's" artic e
, , , , ,
cannot but admire
its candor and
earnest statements
enttre length.
throughout its
Speaking of the State govern
ment from its infancy down to the
late struggle between the North
and South, 'Native" says:
44 The people had generally been
eminently successful in their grand
design of making this as purely a
democratic government as possible,
and one by one those odious re
strictions which had clogged the
energies, repressed the ardor, and
to a certain extent alienated tho
feelings of many patriotic citizens,
were removed from our organic
law as time and circumstances pre
sented an opportunity, until, at last,
the true theory of American liber
ty and popular rights was perfected
(as nearly as had fallen to the lot of
man) in the adoption of the pres
ent Constitution. Every great
principle that had been the (heme
for years of truly democratic states
men was fully recognized and in
corporated into our organic law,
and the rights of the people fully
secured against unjust and oppress
ive legislation. Tne legislative de
partment of the State government
was no longer clothed with abso
lute powers, except as restricted by
certain provisions of the old Consti
tion, but could exercise no other
powers than such as were expressly
or by necessary implication dele
gated, all others being expressly
reserved to the people."
The above extract from the ar
ticle in question, is one that should
be carefully studied, for it seems
the more and longer the present
Constitution is studied, the more it
is approved and appreciated by the
masses.
I hope the good people of North
Carolina will ponder well the do
ings of that body that held posts
lately in our State capitol styling
itself the Constitutional Conven
tion of Ncfth Carolina, for the so
called Conservatives think and
hope that next fall, as there is to be
other important elections in the
State, that we will let our wise and
impartial Constitution goby default,
bat not so. The people are awake
and awaking to the rescue of their
dearest rights, which they consider
are being taken from them by a set
of traitors and polit'cd schemers.
Long live 4 Native" may his pen
never grow weary, but will con
tinue its course for the good of his
native Carolina. ORIGINAL.

Circular.
It is proposed by the
Women's
Centennial Executive Committee
to issue for the International Ex
hibition of 1876 a National Cookery
Book. It is designed to make this
work purely American, excluding,
as iar as is possi uie, me itvciyia
common to all nations. The pro
ducts of our country are more va
ried than those of other lands, com- j
prising numerous articles in com- j
monuseatour tables, partially, if
not wholly, unknown to the inhab-
itauts of the old world, or used by I
them only as luxuries. The varie-
ties of climate uive to each section j
its own peculiar products, but the
facilities for transportation, which
bring to our doors even from far-off
California its delicious fruits and
vegetables, render the resources of
the ttfble common to all, and there
fore National. It is believed that a
valuable and interesting book of r-
ceipls can be compiled for this na- :
tioual occasion. For this object we j

ask the aid of the Women of Amer
ica, without whose assistance we
could scarcely accomplish our work,
and this it is our ambition to re
ceive from the daughters of every
State and Territory. No receipt
will be considered too homely, if
characteristic of the country. Dish
es peculiar to rich and poor to
hunting, fishing, or exploring ex
peditions, or to camp life, &c, &c,
are desired. If comical, and at the
same time good, so much the bet
ter. Our aim is to give the true sa
vor of American life in all its vari
eties. Soups, fish, shell-fish, meats,
game of all sorts, cakes, pastries,
puddings, sauces, preserves, canned
fruits, and vegetables in their end
less varieties, give us unlimited re
sources. Of our beverages alone
already world-renowned we hope
to obtain a choice collection. The
size of our book must limit the
number of the receipts. It is pro
posed to print about twenty from
each State or Territory, but as there
will no doubt be duplicates, a much
larger number is solicited from each
contributing committee to insure
variety and a good selection. The
Executive Committee are anxious
to begin at once upon this book,
contributions are therefore request
ed without delay. Address Mrs.
E. D. Gillespie, President of Wo
men's Executive Committee, 903
