REPUBLICAN ADDRESS TO THE PEO
PLE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The apparent purposes and the action of the
late Convention, assembled in the City of Raleigh,
on the 4th day of September, having met the open
disapprobation of many Republicans in the State,
and raised serious apprehensions of discord in the
party, the undersigned beg the indulgence of their
fello'w-citucu in submitting the following views,
mid exhorting all truly loyal and Union men to
harmony and unity of action, regardless of the
temporary and. accidental prevalence of injudi
cious and unfortunate counsels. -
The Union Republican Tarty of the
nation must be relied upon to settle our present
troubles and to restore the lately insurgent States
to complete harmony with the General Govern
ment; and to render such restoration permanent,
to prevent a speedy renewal of recent strife, and
to guarantee" the future safety and integrity of
the Union, that party ha asbumed, as a basis of
reconstruction, certain fundamental principles,
the establishment of which, as the popular senti
ment of the voting masses to the lately rebellious
Mates, u new w wimiww I"'
i..;n.r admitted to the eereie of poUtjtttlas
t &. ttrai:' " "Sit - ' T
It must bo borne in mind that these States are
to be restored not merely to lieing governed them
selves, but to the exercise of equal powers in gov
erning the whole conntry. They retailed against
the Union, and waged a war for the cstahlishmcntof
certain principles of their own until they were sub
dued by those in whose government they now seek
to I iiindc again participators and equals. Before
taing raised from the condition of the vanquished
and restored to the rights and jwwers of govern
ors, it is not unreasonable that they ta required
to renounce the principles for which they waged,
the unsuccessful wtir, and accept such as are now
prescritad as essential to the general jicacc and
wclnre. .'
But, in as much us the people themselves, and
not the States, arc the real rcosirorv of politicid
power, it is required that they give evidence of a
jnqmlar renunciation and neeeptuwv, in good
faith, and not merely a temporary acquiescence
from cxjdieiicy, in order to recover the power to
renew th Inte strife and revive a lost cause. Re
construction has len delayed only taeause of
their failure, so farto manilest such u dksjiosition,
and for the estidjishincnt among tl.cin of a pre
vailing sentiment in accordance therewith. The
preparatory policy of Congress has tacn conduct
ed step by step with this view, its lirst step was
to wait f''r a voluntary manifestation in the elec
tion! ordered by the l'resident. lint adverse
c inn. -els liaviiig'prevailed in tlio.c elections, the
' (' nwtiiutioiiar' Amendment" was promised for
their voluniary acceptance ly which certain prin
ciles wore to l incorporated in the Constitution
itself, and a sunicieut numtar f individual citi
z us Mipposcd to entertain hostile purposes were
t. lie excluded from the exercise of political pow
its to ;;ive to the well disposed the ascendancy
mi l control in public affairs. This proposition
v.i. rejected ly such majorities and in such a
Kjiirit that it was considered to have tacome ne
eosarv to create a new political element in the
1( 'kHm.w States Iy conterrmg the elective Iran
cliisc u;n lii.' colored jKpulation, and to estal
li.li miii:.irv governments for the maintenance ofc
o'ledicnce ami order while the spirit and disposi
tion of our jK'opIe were taing again tested. In this
condition of atVairs we are now called upon to act.
The principles sought to 1 ostnhlislied upon
the sound l;Lsis of popular sentiment, as prelimi
nary U reconstruction, may ta fully summed up
in two projxwitions, viz :
1. A fuithf.nl and willing adherence to and ga
port of thu Union and of the government of the
United States nnd n qnict subrniswon to its au
thority under the Constitution.
2. Civil and political equality among all citizens,
irrespective of race or color, and the protection of
white and colored idike in all the rights, privi-
, legfs and immunities of citizenship.
tlin i.rinii.loa vf fVi. l'vi-V l?l."tr'r
LICA.N I'auty, and are the oidy text of a true,'
tmtioivd rcpnhlitan. Our restoration to the
rights and powers npjH'rtaining to a recognized
State in the Ujiion, awaits and is dccndent on
the establishment of these principles ns the pic
vailing sentiment of the people.
. The government ha refrained from executions
for treason, from banishments nnd from confisca
tion. It docs not now suspend any threats over
us ; but appeals to a voluntary ense of returning
lovalty and duty. The masse-: of onr people who
have been so long excited and misled, seem now
diosea" to yield to reason nnd justice. It is the
duty, anil should ta purpose of every true Republi
can in I he State to entourage and advance this
disposition of the, people, r.ot only by inculcating
the great principles of " Union and' Equality,"
but by re-noting every obxtucle to its progress.
)ur adversaries have retarded it in North Curo
' lin.a, not so much by reason and argument, ns'lty
appeals to sectional prejudices and misrepresenta
tion of the purposes and designs of the ltepul
lican l'arty upon distinct and collateral points.
T'liey have charged that party with the design,
1st. Tocoiifiscatetlielundsof those compromised in
the r;tallion to be parceled out among the col
ored citizens ; 2d. To perjetuute the disfranchise
ment of the whites from the ballot lxx, while the
whole of the colored men are enfranchised, nnd
thus secure the HUtie.ul supremacy of the colored
race in the Southern States ; 3d. To continue the
oliicial disabilities now imposed on native citizens
of the State, and thus, in effect, place our gov
ernment in tho hands of strangers who have lately
s ettled among us tor tho purpose of becoming our
rulers. These unjust charges have had much
effect uH)ii the uninformed masses of the people
and have raised up apprehensions and hesitancy
even among the most steadfast friends of the
Union. The fear exists that the colored vote can
Ik- controlled against all native citizens iij favor
of those who cau parade military services in de
stroying slavery, and having themselves no intcr
es.ts to be endangered by confiscation, may, the
' more easily, delude the illiterate and credulous
with vain hopes of having the lands of their
neighbor.- parcelled out anion them. Such ap
peals to tho colored population would inevitably
produce alienation and prejudice tatwoen the.
r.uys, fatal to the establishment of a safe und
wholesome public sentiment, and dangerous to the
peace ami good order of society.
That thcsi apprehensions might ta quieted by
having the sitioii of the party upon these and
Oilier points distinctly and uncpii vocally set forth
and promulgated in North Carolina, it was deem-
I i. i .i I win f mill lnitior tlitit i rm-ii?i t!n ef
Republicans, should lie culled to meet in the City
of Ualeigh, on the 4th day of Septejntar, 1XC7.
Thu Convention was accordingly nssembhid ; Imt
iis action wus not sne.h as was hoped and oxpect
e l. It was, confessedly, unfortunate that after
the courtesy shown to recent settlers from the
North, by making a prominent olitician from
the State of Ohio, (Col. Heaton,) the temporary
Chairman of the Convention, they should have de
manded, and by appeals to the colored delcgutes
on the ground of military services, secured the
vej.,ctiiiH of one of the most prominent and
wurtjty of the native Unionist of the Btate,
(lien. Dockery,) and have placed in his stead, as
permanent l'resident, a stranger from the State of
New Hampshire, (Gen. J. C. Abtatt,) a gentle
, man previously unheard of by the masses of our
ooplo, or known only as an officer from the fede
ral army who had recently located near WTilijiing
tou in this state, it is still more to bo regretted
that the colored speakers from Wilmington and
,i i .i .
i vicinny, secor.uitq ny a genueman rpom
jorK, (iol. leek.) ip aqvocatimg mo
fc.cctiou of Lien. Abbott, .should have used lan
guage suggestive of purposes calculated to in
crease previously existing apprehensions. Thcj
paraded the military prestige of their candidate
in fighting against slavery, while they reproached
th'.i native citizens of the State with struggling to
lvrpjtti:ite it, and ehargod Bouthorn Union men
with acting either from cowardice or from a hope
to save their slave property by terminating the
war short of emancipation.. The effect. J?f these
npicaU upon the colored delegates was manifesto
ed by the excitement and enthusiasm with which
they rejected the counsels of the more considerate
rm. n:n ,,n
r. I I . ? f ; f I Sib - -J V
New Series.
of their own race, and of one officer, lately in the
federal service, (Gen. Laflin,) who met only re
proach and insult for raising his voice In advocacy
of moderation and prudence.
;The election of Gen. Ablwtt as permanent Presi
dent of a North Carolina Convention, was follow
ed by the election of four Secretaries, two
of whom were strangers lately located among us,
and two colored men. It could hardly be ex-4
pected 'that the Congress of the United States
would be likely to view the action of a Convention
so controlled, as expressive of. the true sentiments
of this State, or the success of a party under 3
as affording sufficient evidence of the temper and
spirit of our people, to justify the restoration of
the State to its rights and powers in the general
government.
. But an effort was, nevertheless, mado to quiet
the public mind by committing the party in this
State, distinctly and authoritatively, upon three
points, to-wit i 1st Against the purpose or desire
of confiscating private property for political of
fences in the present condition of affaire j ;2d. In
favor f providing1 ln the State ConstitutyHB. for
tha intension of the elective franchise tat everr
white and colored marf alike ; 8d. In favor' of the 1
- . ..... ' , . .. a .
citizens witmn such limits ns congress may oeem
safe and prudent in this State. The " Committee
on platform and resolutions," after full and pro
longed deliberation, reported to the Convention
three resolutions emlwdying these sentiments, and
recommended their passage. Bat these resolu
tions, were met by a repetition of excited and im
moderate disenssioh, and voted down. Tt was
unfortunate, that the motion upon which the fin t
of the resolutions was rejected, was made, not by
any native citizen of the State, white or colored,
but bv n prominent joliticiun from tho State of
Ohio,(Col. Heaton.) The other two were reject
ed on the motion of a gentleman from New York,
(Col. Teck,) now resident in Wilmington. On
motion of a native of the State, by birth, but who
now is, and has taen for some thirty vears a resi
citizens witffin such li
dent of tho City of Washington, a plan of party
organization was adopted, so repugnant in its de
tails, to the customs nnd usages of our people,
mid so effective in the hands of any who might
seiek to place our government in the hands of
strangers by controlling the colored vote, that it
cannot fail "to excite additional alarm and distrust.
Northern gentlemen should ta encouraged to
settle among us by extending to them every conrt-
srsv and kindness, and bv discountenancing the re
vival of prejudices, w hich should never have ex
isted, and ought now to be forgotten and buried
forever. Hat while our people arc willing for
recent settlers among us to participated onr pub
lic affairs, it is not natural that they should view
with favor, tkc appearance, even, of an effort to
place their gjveriimeut, entirely in the hands of
striurgers, to the exclusion ot those whose lnlor
dnjjtioii, interests and cxcrienccso much tatter
rt them to understand and manage tne mamioiu
Interests and exigencies connected with onr pre
sent unfortunate condition. It must appear to
the people nnkind and unjust to take advantage
of their helpless condition, by exciting appeals
and delusive promises to the most ignorant, and
mmt unsuspecting and docile of our population,
and thus raise up enmity and antagonisms among
us, ruinous to the colored man, for whose rights
and welfare every goxl citizen is now solicitous,
and destructive of the efforts of those who are
lataring to prepare the State for a return to the
Union by bringing the popular mind in cordial
unity with the great principles of the Republican
Party. A
It cannot expected that a Convention in this
State apparently controlled by such influences and
distinguished by such action can command the
approbation and confidence of the people of North
Carolina. But it is advised and hoped that no
true Republican will almndon the party or abate
his zeal in support of its principles, taeause of the
temporary and occidental ascendancy of ill advised
and improper counsels in n single assemblage.
Rather let our adherence to and supjiort of the
Republican Party ta increased and strengthened,
that by the triumph of its policy, wc may sec the
Union reconstructed and confiscation thereby ren
dered im)Os.sible the "Constitutional Amend
ment" adopted and universal suffrage under it
the tjxed law of the land and the official disabil
ities Tcmo'.c.l from every one who is true to the
Uuioti and w ho discountenances all efforts to keep
alive jani modifies and prejud;rs threatening to
the peace and integrity of the n ition.
Iid'the people meet in their respective counties
and districts, by their own spontaneous action,
and put forward their own candidates men true
to the Union und trutwrothy as Republicans
and by supporting such, manifest to the nation
that in North Carolina there exists suchaprevail
ing sentiment of nationality and such voluntary
otadience to the laws of the land, that our restora
tion to rights and powers in the government, so far
from taing dangerous to the peace and welfare of
the Republic,' will add strength to the great edifice
Of LNIOX, LIBERTY AND hQUALITY.
Bv requiring each candidate to announce un
equivocally bis opposition to confiscation and his
desire for the admission of everv w hite and colored
man alike to the Imllott tax, the people mav pre
veut the ignorant and unsuspecting colored citi
zen from taing deceived bv vain promises of land
donations, into an attitude of hostility and conflict
w ith his white neightars, no less ruinous to him
self than detrimental to tho peace and prosperity
of the State. After a satisfactory State Constitu
tion shall have taen framed, should uny true,
Union men, under official disability, ta elected to
any position, ( ongress will, doubtless, remove
Mien ( isah! itv in enen cnao, m tienerenco to tne
wishes of a true and loyal constituency, aiyj thus
protect the people against a transfer of their gov
ernment to the hands of strangers.
However much the conduct and spirit of the late
Convention .may ta deplored, and however much
it may have increased previously existing appre
i .. i 1 l i i
nenstons, it is vei in ine nanus oi we people to pr-
tect themselves at the ballot tax, and to secure a
restoration of their rights, and of prosjerity and
peace, by co-operating with the Union Republican
Party of the nation in the support of such mea
sures and the enforcement of such laws as have
been adopted for the security and preservation of
the Union.
In this work the interest of the white and the
colored citizen is identical. Ix't there ta no ill
feeling nor antagonism tat ween them. But let
each, turning a deaf ear to the apicals of disunion
agitators and designing office hunters, maintain
firmly the Constitution and laws of his country,
nnd to the extent of his ability, labor to advauee
the great principles of justice liberty and equality.

PKOSPECTUS OF THE
Lincolnton, North Carolina,
To the People of Western North Carolina:
lhe loyal Union party of Western North Car
olina have long felt the need of a thoroughly
loyal Kepublican paper, to advocate their claims,
and contend for that freedom of speech so long
denied us by the enemies of the Union, who, w hen
their cause failed, scarcely hoped that their lives
would ta spared, now encouraged by the "policy"
of Andrew Johnson, use every means in their
power, by falsehood and misrepresentation, to
make our friends in Congress talicvethat 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 ta the
initiatory step to scenes of crime and bloodshed.
Ine iicople, we sav, of the estcrn portion of the
State have long suffered in public opinion for the
want of a sound, unbiased loyal press to refute
these vile slanders and hurl back the abusive epi
thets bestowed upon us. Wc propose to supply
the desideratum, and earnestly ask the co-opera
tion of every true lover of his country in our ef
forts to aid in securing peace, justice, liberty and
equulity to all deserv ing those inestimable privi
leges. Let even- man put his shoulder to the
wheel, and we shall soon see again the laws of our
country obeyed and its supporters honored, Instead
ot the open grumbling and undisguised hatred of
that particular class of rebels, who, while support
ing with all their influence the cause of their mis
taken and ambitious leaders, yet took verv irood
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 onr fellow-citizens,
one and all, the following plan by
which a pajicr can ta established : Let every man
subscribe and exert himself to Vie utmost to ob
tain subscribers and the money in,adcance,
and as soon as we get 500 names with the accom
panying $2 each, we shall at once purchase the
requisite material, new from the foundry, and, at
the earliest possible day, issue the first numtar of
the pajer. We have conversed with several pro
minent gentlemen, and have received assurances
of their aid and suptiort. Let everv man do his
part, and the work is accomplished.
The paper will ta called the WESTERN
CHRONICLE, and will be a thoroughly Union
Journal, and a staunch supporter of Republican
principles. It will ta mailed to subscribers at the
low rate of Two Dollars per annum, which was
the old-time price of a weekly newspaper. V
place it thus low that everv family may take one
of their oici,"and not deiend on borrowing their
neighbor s, as well as to encourage our colored
citizens, who now have equal rights before the
law, to know and understand the events that are
transpiring around them, and who.-c duty it is to
see and read tof thetnsclves.
We pledge that the Chronicle shall ta a paper
that every man may read with profit to himself,
both white and black, if they love their country
and her laws, lhe Publishers, tamg practical
i printers, guarantee the gehcral appearance of the
paper, while the Editorial Department will reflect
whatever judgment and ability they may possess
We ask the friends of Law and Order to inter
est themselves in tahalf of tins enterprise. Send
in as many names as possible immediately, so us
to ls.-uc tlie first numtar at an carlv dav.

I feel It my duty to make the fact known to you for the

the emaciated lonn, glassy eye, night sweats, together

remedies brought no relief. She was advised to try
your Rosadalis, ns a tonic which she did imagine my
