PROSPECTUS OF THE
WESTERN CHRONICLE,
Lincoluton, North Carolina.
To the People of Wetter n North Carolina:
The loyal Union party of Western North Car
olina have long felt the need of a thoroughly
loyal Republican paper, to advocate their claims,
and contend for that freedom of speech so long
denied us bv the enemies of theX'nion, who, when
their cause failed, scarcely hoped that their lives
would be spared, now encouraged by the "ixjlicy"
of Andrew Johnson, use every means in their
power, by falsehood and misrepresentation, to
make our friends in Congress lielieve that no loyal
element exists in the State, and that a general am
nesty is necessary to insure peace and quiet to
our section ; while the truth is, it would be the
initiatory step to scenes of crime and bloodshed.
The people, we say, of the Western portion of the
State have long suffered in public opinion for the
want of a sound, unbiased loval press to refute
these vile slanders and hurl Iwuk the abusive epi
thets bestowed upon us. We propose to supply
; the desideratum, and earnestly ask the co-opera'
tion of icvery true lover of his country m our ef
forts to aid in securing peace, justice, liberty and
'equality to all deserving those inestimable privi
leges. Let every man put his shoulder to the
wheel, and we shall soon see again the laws' of our
country obeyed and its supporters honored, instead
of the open grumbling and undisguised hatred of
that particular class ot rebels, wiio, while support
ing with all their influence the cause of their mis
taken and ambitious leaders, yet took vey good
care to get themselves into fat offices somewhere
in the rear of the contending armies.
In the absence of ready money with which to
embark in the enterprise, we propose to our fel
low-citizens, one and all, tho following plan by
w hich la paper can be established : Iet every man
subscribe and exert himself to ike utmost to ob
tain mbscribers and Vie money in advance.
and asi soon, as we get 500 names with the accom
panymg $2 each, we shall at once purchase the
requisite material, new from the foundry, and, at
the earliest possible day, issue the first number of
the pajper. We have conversed with several pro
minent gentlemen, and have received assurances
of theSr aid and support. Let every man do his
part, ana the work is accomplished.
Th paper wiJt be called the WESTERN
CHRONICLE, and will be a thoroughly Union
Journal, and a staunch supporter of Republican
principles. It will l mailed to sulscrilers at the
low rata of Two Dollars per annum, which was
the old-time price of a weekly newspaixjr. We
place :it thus low that every family mav take one
of their own, and not depend on borrowing their
nctgfttior s, as welt as to encouracc our colored
citizcha, who now hnve eqnal rights before the
law, to know and understand the events that are
trnnsjpiring around them, and whose duty it is to
. i f .. ,
ee anu rcaa ror tnemseives.
Wie pledge that the Chronicle shall be a paper
that every man may read with profit to himself,
both white and black, if they love their country
and her laws. The Publishers, being practical
printers, guarantee the general appearance of the
paper, while the Editorial Department will reflect
whatievcr judgment and ability they may possess.
We ask the friends of Law and Order to inter
est themselves in behalf of this enterprise. Send
in ae many names as possible immediately, so as
to issue the first number at an early day.

UNION REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The delegates representing the loyal people of
North Carolina, assembled in Convention in the
city of Raleigh, on the 5th day of September,
1867, for the purpose of perfecting and strength
ening the rganization of the Republican Party
in the State, and in order to aid In the great work
of preserving and perpetuating this Union :
Resolved, That the. Republican party in North
Carolina reaffirms the principles enunciated in the
Convention of true Republicans which assembled
in this city on 27th day of March, and does folly
adopt, accept and sustain the 'principles and
measures of the Republican party of the United
States. . .,
r The platform of March 27 was as follows :
Having assembled in the city oi Raleu?h on the
27th of March, 1867, is coaformity with a timely
ana patriotic cau, renecong the sentiments of the
loyal men of the State, and believing the time is
at hand when an open and fearless expression of
sentiment, opinion, and purpose is urgently de
manded; therefore
1. Resotced, That in view of our preseut politi
cal condition, our relations to the National Gov
ernment and the people of all sections of the
country, we do this day with proud satis faction
unfurl the brilliant and glorious banner of The
Republican Party, and earnestly appeal to
every true and patriotic man in the State to rally
to iiH Bupporr.
Ine splendid and patriotic record made br this
great political organization in standing by the
general government with an inflexible resolution,
in carrying forward profound measures of state
manshlp to a snccessful issue, and the jwwerf ul
aid given by it in finally overthrowing and pros
trating the most gigantic rebellion of ancient or
modern times, should command the respect and
challenge the admiration of every candid man.
2. icesotoea, Inat the American Congress is
eminently entitled to the profound thanks of the
whole country for its persevering, persistent and
heroic devotion to the great principles of human
rights as enunciated in the Declaration of Inde
pendence ; that in the name of the patriotic people
of this State we feci warranted in cordially as
senting 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 senti
ment to the Bcarest possible approach to unanim
ity on this subject.
3. liesoloed, That we rejoice that the dogma
long propagated, of the right of peaceful seces
sion under the Constitution, has been forever
overthrown by the majestic uprising of the
American people, in crashing out the late rebel
lion by force of arms : and that the doctrine that
the supremacy of the general government has
been established, and that the paramount allegi
ance 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 Fkeemen, and that the sun in all his course
over our wide spread countn no longer shines
upon the brow of a slave. Without reservation
we heartily endorse the great measures of Civil
Rights and Impartial Enfranchisement without
any property qualification, conferred without
distinction of color, and that we are ready to
unite in the .early practical attainment of these
inestimable privileges. Although the mortal re
mains of Abraham Likcoln 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 effi
cient means by which the South can speedily re
gain 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 persistently and firmly
insist upon the absolute right of free discussion
and free speech on all subjects of public interest.
6. Resolved, That we join in an earnest wish
for the maintenance untarnished and nndimmed
of the great credit and plighted faith of the nation.
7. Resolved, inat in the maintenance of the
position taken and the principles this day avowed,
we earnestly invite the influence and co-operation
of men of all political persuasions, who regard
and cordially support the recent action of Congress
as a solution of our present political difficulties ;
that we deprecate partizan violence and desire
peace and good will toward all men ; and if in an
ojen and fearless etfort, 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 Republican Party, an earnest
interest should be awakened, it will he trom no
other cause than a rigid adherance to what we
regard as a sacred right and a solemn public duty.
The following resolutions, rejected by the Con
vention of 5th of September, we endorse as a part
of our platform :
Resolved, That the confiscation of private prop
erty for political offences, is repugnant to Kepub-
lican liberty and ought not to be resorted to, except
as an inexorable necessity to save the life of the
nation, after all other means have been tned, and
the Republican party in Worth l.arolina does not
consider that the present condition of public
affairs justifies the confiscation of personal prop
erty, and hopes that no such necessity will arise.
Resolvedflhtt m order to carry into etreet tne
principles of universal liberty and civil and polit
ical equality, every male citizen of the age of
twenty-one ought to be allowed to vote m all pop
ular elections, and be freely admitted to the ballot-
box, unrestrained by compulsion, threats or vio
lence, and such other of the requirements or the
proposed constitutional amendment, so tar as it
relates to the question of suffrage.
Resolved. That the Republican party in JSorth
Carolina faithfully and energetically sustains the
policy of Congress on the subject of reconstruc
tion, ana will spare no errort to secure, unaer re,
the restoration of the State to the Union. It is
nevertheless constrained to call the attention of
Congress to the continuance of the disfranchise
ment and disability now imposed upon thousands
of true and loyal citizens, while as many thousands
of the devotees of treason and ot continued
schemes against the peace and integrity of the
republic are invested with the full powers and
franchises of citizenship, which they are using,
too effectually, to frustrate the efforts of those
who are laboring, thus trammelled, to perpetuate
the Union, to place the national peace and safety
on a sure foundation and render eternal the great
and correct principles of Union, liberty and
coualitv. ;
Resolved, That the fresiaentox tne "convention,
immediately after its adjournment, by and with
the advice and coincidence of the Republican Ex
ecutive Committee of the State, appoint a com
mittee of loyal and well informed citizens, to con
sist of no less than one from each Congressional
district, to urse upon Congress to restrain, within
just and safe limits, the disability complaiued of
f . . . .. e
m the above resolution, m nme, u possuue io
Hntrammel the efforts of true and loyal men in
the approaching election, or as soon as it qpn be
judiciously done, and that authority is hereby
