ADDRESS OF THE Central Executive Committee. To the People of North Carolina : The Executive Committee of the Dem ocratic Conservative party of this State, after consultation among themselves and with many friends from different parts of the State, familiar with public sentiment, have deemed it necessary and proper that the Central Executive Committee shall address the people in reference to various topics of public interest, and particularly constitutional reform in this State. The Central Committee, therefore, feel espe cially called upon and instructed to sub mit to the people such views and to sug gest such measures of reform and relief as, in their judgment, arc calculated to pro mote concert ol action and the general jvtlfare of the State. THE CONVENTION ELECTION. The result of the election in August last, although adverse to the call of a Convention of ihe people, cannot be re garded as an expression of popular appro val of many of the leading provisions of the present State constitution ; for all par tics, with scarcely any dissent, recognized und conceded the paramount necessity for u change in the orgauic law in several material particulars. Nor can the result of that election be properly claimed as a party success or de ieat The issue submitted and passed upon was not n party issue, although great efforts were made by interested persons to make it such nor was it so regarded or treated by thousands of democrats and Conservatives who voted against ''Con vention." That election turned on colla leral and immeterial issues, most of them suggested and pressed upoipublic atteu tim by the great body of the office hold ers of the State, who apprehended that a convention if called, would turn thera out of office. The office-holders of the State generally opposed the call ; they freely used money and other appliances to defeat it. The colored people were made falsely to believe that a convention would deprive them of their freedom, or grcally abridge their political rights. Thousands voted against the call because they feared armed interference of the authorities of the federal government and another war other thousands voted against it, because they apprehended some unfriendly inter ference with the present homestead pro vision, while some believed the call as made was without the sanction of the constitution and revolutionary ; so that, we repeat, the election turned, not in favor of or against any political party, nor upon the real merits of the issue submitted to the people, but upon many collateral con siderations. METHOD OF AMENDMENT SETTLED. The majority against the proposed call for a Convention, though comparatively meagre, settles adversely the proposition to amend the Constitution by a Convention of the people, however proper and desira ble that method of amendment may be. It settles it, because the radical members of the Legislature, at the behest of their party, unanimously refused to vote for the call of a Convention of the people by the Legislature. Such a call cannot be made without the votes of at least a few of them, and they and their party thus assume the grave responsibility of preventing the peo pie from amending and reforming their organic law. The only remaining method of amend in" the Constitution is by legislative enact ment. Although the Constitution operates oppressively in many respects, and some of its provisions preclude all hope of general prosperity while they continue in force, yet it is manifestly the duty of every good citizen to seek relief from such evils by the legislative mode, however slow and un satisfactory, in the present emergency, it mav be. We venture to hope that the members of the Legislature will, when they assemble, at once agree upon this plan of relief, and we respectfully suggest that, in the meantime, the people give prompt and free expression of their wishes 0 ompndmcnfs as thev desire, so that the Legislature may be informed of the popular will, as wen as mj " reference to consmuuuuat iwunu. OUR MATERIAL, IKtJDSTRIAI, AND EDUCA TIONAL INTEREST OPPRESSED.

And, where, we repeat, . ..jnrr, nf our impoverished peo ple They a?c fallowed up in oppres ..inn. to support a system oi state government essentially expensive, and a radical extravagance without a parallel in the historv of a free people. BURDENSOME TAXATION PUBLIC EXTRAV AGANCE. During the first two years under the . n...;n;nn 1 fiu7.580 were col- ectcd trom the people, and eYery dollar Vol. 1. of this vast sum was expended in the ad ministration of the State government an average of over $900,000 a yearl about ten times what it cose 10 anmims ter the government before the war 1 There belonged to the School Fund, derived from the Land Scrip donated by the United States, the sum of $122,000. This sum was invested mostly in "special tax bonds, and the fund is virtually iosu These monstrous evils arc the legitimate fruits of the workings of the present Con stitution and radical misrule under it. The present organization fastens on the people a system ot government essentially extravagant the township system alone making necessary about three thousand officers at an annual expense oi irom $300,000 to 400,000. It establishes a public debt amounting to $40,000,000, ... tm 1 1' I A. 1 half of which is coniessediy aisoonesi aim fraudulent, and which the people are un able to pay. MISRULE, FRAUD, FORCE AND THE SWORD. Under this organic law the people are subjected to an intolerable misrule at the hands of the radical party, nj means oi notorious fraud, force and the sword, that party had absolute control of the Conven tion that framed the present Constitution, and llKe Control Ol IIIC ui9, ucgiomimo that assembled under it ; and although the people were impoverished, thi3 radical nubhc debt from $20,000,000 to near $40,- 000.000 in less than eighteen months. Of thi3 20,000,000, less tnan fcouu,uv nave gone into the public works or to the benefit ot the people, mis panjr piacu m umvo a Governor who absolutely suspended the Constitution and laws of the State ; he ar- ... . . A rested scores of innocent citizens witnoui warrant, or anv authority of law: he sus pended the writ ot habeas corpus and defied the Chief Justice of the State ; he made his warrant from time to time on the Treasurer for large sums of money with out the sanction of law ; he raised a law nnd mercenarv horde of desperadoes and armed them at the public expense to execute his despotic will. This party elected to the State Convention and the Legislature scores of men notorious lor thpir icrnorancc. licentiousness, dishonesty and corruption, who, at the behests of their party and knavisn speculators, iu creased the public debt to the enormous sum already stated. This party degraded and disgraced the judiciary uy eiuuuug to high judicial stations men shamefully ignorant and corrupt, and others who ..T J'.Al A. have not scrupled to mannesi mc most feelincrs while holding their offices. This party have ruined the credit of the State they have blasted the hopes and prosperity of the people in the most shameless and aeuant uiauuci hoi'P mnrlft everv deoartment of the gov ernment a by - word and reproach. To es- tablish the truth ot these cuarges we uucn l-nt nnmt to the history of the State for the last three years and appeal to the ob servation of every intelligent citizen. THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION. Thia r!nntirntion and this party, with o ro.iiVnl rorkless and extravagant admin istration of the Federal Government, make up the manifest causes ot the sui ferins, poverty and ruin that crush the peopTe of the State.

CRIME AND OUTRAGES. We deem it worth while to notice in this address, that wicked and interested per sonsunprincipled and violent radical partizans in and out oi tins oiaie lor sinister numoses. have sought to produce the false impression that the Democratic Conservative party nave ana ao connive at and encourage the perpetration of crime and outrage. To this detestable end they hve wherever thev could, prostituted the press, legislative and judicial proceedings, ana resoi teu to every iiicu.ua )Ytium Such imputation is not only groundless, false 'and scandalous, but in famous to the last degree, ana oeirays a spirit of wickedness, we venture to assert, without a parallel in political warfare. me parcy wiucu we ieuiecuw oi wnva and nersistentlv condemned crime, by whomsoever perpetrated, and has re- peatedly gone oui oi me usui course to denounce it, and urge upon the people the high importance ot peace and good order, and the duty of every good citizen to be active and zealous in bring ing offenders to justice. The course pursued by tne unwormy persons to whom we refer is deeply to be pnlnred hv all crood men of every politi cal party. It is not only ignoble, but it tends to destroy the moral and legitimate effect of the voice ot the press, legislative action and judicial determination, for the suppression of crime their constant ef- IOrt IS lO lUin bUCU UlllllCIO w juimvu advantage by giving them a political turn, and thus they produce the almost inevi table conviction on the minds of disinter ested observers that the purpose of the 1 A. 1 A- press, the .Legislature ana uouns, is nut i t.n Rnnnress crime and outrage, but to manufacture political capital and aclvan- tagefrom the crimes ot onenaers, ana mus engender bitter feelings among their op ponents, destroy coufidedce in the Courts and bring thera into disgrace and con tempt. . We again urge our friends to set their faces against violence and lawlessness of all kinds, and to be especially active in preventing secret outrages by disguised persons. NATIONAL. TOLITICS. It is to be regretted that the people of this State have failed to take any very ac tive interest in national politics since the close of the late war. In our judgment this is . unwise. Our people are of the Union it is our government and to it we must -look, as we have the right, for sup port and protection in our rights of lite, liberty and property, at home and abroad we owe it allegiance and support, and it is a patriotic duty to yield these it is as much our duty to join our fellow-countrymen in shaping and controlling the policy and destiny of this great common national government. We have all the rights that any of the American people have, and we are false to the country and ourselves if wc fail to recognize, exercise and act upon them. The people have rights ; let them exercise them firmly and respectfully, and when need be, assert them as freemen and American citizens in the councils of the nation, in political assemblages, and every where. If we consent to be dwarfed and ignored nationally, then indeed, we may expect to be for all time to come. C RRUPTION, EXTRAVAGANCE AND USURPA TION. Our common country is subject to grievous political evils to which the com Jass of this address will allow us to ad vert very briefly. Official corruption in high and low places; public extravagance; usurpation of great powers not conferred, but denied and prohibited by the Constitution ; high and oppressive tariffs which foster im mense monopolies ; the direct encourage ment and support of monopolies; prosti tution of official patronage to promote party ascendancy ; a system of taxation which brings into active service in the in terests of the party in power, hordes of Internal Revenue officers who oppress, plunder and outrage the people of the na tion, and under which large surplus sums of money are raised that ought to remain in the pockets" of the people; a general system of espionage; a suspension of the liberties of the people opon the slightest pretext, in express violation of the Con stitution : armed military interference with the freedom of elections; a general system ot official bribery and party favoritism in every department, and the administration of the affairs of the government, are public national evils, the enormity, extent and danger of which can scarcely be measured or appreciated by the people subject to them. That these evils do exist is man ifest to everybody. The dearest, highest! interests of a free people demand that they shall not close their eyes to such dangers too long lest the time shall come when they will find their form ol government changed in name as well as in fact, and their liberties lost. SOURCE OP PUBLIC EVILS THE "HIGHER LAW" OP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Most if not all these evils, are attributa ble to the Radical or Republican party of the nation, to its doctrines, policy and nraeticear It is essentially a party inimi cal and dangcous to the constitution and public and personal liberty. It is founded upon the despotic dogma that there is a "higher law" than the constitution ; it is emphatically and essentially a "higher law" party. This dogma is its life and soul, and it proceeds on the jesuitical max im, that "the end justifies the means." Hence it is, the head of this party, the president, does not hesitate to send the army to New York and elsewhere at the North, to this State, Texas and all over the South, in violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution, to control the elections and prepare the way for his and his party's continued ascendency, and his own election. Hence, too, we find him for like purposes suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in a time of profound peace, arresting the citizen with out warrant or lawful authority, but only by lawless force. Hence, too, we find this party in Congress avowedly, and in the most riotous manner, passing laws at one time to oust the juris diction of the Supreme Court of the Union to prevent that great tribunal from declaring its acts and assaults ou the Constitution unconstitutional and void, at another time passing a similar law to " pack" that Court with partizans to alter a solemn decision already m&de, but dis tasteful to this "higher law" party. Hence, too, hundreds ot other similar acts done by this party which illustrate the princi ples, policy and practices which we have attributed to it, and which if not arrested and suppressed, must result in the absolute overthrow of the system of government formed and handed down to us by Wash ington and his compatriots. That such a party has been allowed to spring up on American soil is monstrous and alarming ! THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY THE ONLY OTHER PARTY. There is but one other great political party in the country that is the National Democratic party. In our judgment, it is the patriotic duty of every lover of liberty and free government to co-operate with that great and powerful party to arrest the tremendous evils to which we have ad verted, and which will, sooner or later, if not suppressed, destroy freedom and es tablish despotism and the sword. POLITICAL DUTY OP ALL PATRIOTS. To accomplish this great measure of re form in our State and National Govern ments, we cordially invite the zealous co operation of every patriot, without regard n hie hitherto nartv affiliations. We stand in determined opposition to the crimes and evils to whicn we nave urwuy directed public attention, and we ask all good people to stand with us, trusting that such common patriotic euun, u'i"g tho blessing of God, may save us aud our country from impending danger and ruin.
