We read daily in all' the journals of the U. S. 7-30
loan, of the immense subscriptions of the people
and of their rejoicings over the successful operations
of their fepancial' schemes. We hear, too, of the
; . . wonder and amazement which exists in Europe at
this spontaneous absorption1 of our national debt by
; our own peopled We are informed that fifteen mil
lions of dollars are subscribed in one day, and that
the Treasurer has been enabled to meet all the
, heavy demands. now pending against the govern
r meet Besides, a friend, who is conversant with the
facts, tells us that the subscriptions are not confined
to the moneyed classes, but that the laborer, the
mechanic, fhe farmeraye, all who .have saved a
little from their daily earnings, invest the same in
"United States bonds. What do these things attest?
i They prove the implicit confidence of the people in
: the integrity, resources and perpetuity of the Amer-
ican Onion, : ' j .;..-
The people of North-Carolina have been living
: finder the rule of an iron despotism for four years.
They hate suffered all the evils of war physically,
i mentally and pecuniarily. The cause of these evils
has ceased, bu t their effect is yet visible. Still there is
vnp need of despondency we have one thing left us,
which alone will restore prosperity, and that is a
sound national Currency. 'But the people of North
Carolina must place the same confidence m that
currency which our Northern brethren have. True,
they do not possess, the means to subscribe in the
same proportion which they do, but that does not al
ter the case.1 Let them learn to honor the national
. currency, and to-discard the idea taught them during
the war, that all paper money is worthless. .Rebel
scrip was worthless, and so was all other scrip,
bonds, or currency, bearing the title of the. so-called
Confederatej States! But the bonds and currency
of the United States is as good as that of any estab-
lisbed government beneath the sun. The Northern
people, with their usual sagacity and patriotism,
, have perceived this, and seized the golden oppor-
tunity with a promptitude which has filled the cof
fers of the government to overflowing. !
. , Oie of the great secrets of Great Britain's power
is that her people are universally interested in their
national debt The destruction of the British gov
eminent by the British people would be their own
impoverishment We too can remember how stren-
, uous were thev efforts made by Memminger and
Trenholm to foist 44 Confederate bonds ", upon our
-people; bow; some of those, who were gulled into
purchasing the? trash, suddenly deserted their prin
ciples and became fierce war men because their own
property was bound up in the success of the rebel-
lion. And will not the history of Great Britain and
the ! experience of the past war teach us the lesson
of the power of a government, whose debts are in
the hands of its own people ; how it will bind the
people by the strong tie of self-interest, if the no-
bier passion of patriotism be unavailing, to the laj4
of their nativity, and possession ? It therefore,
a matter of congratulation and joy, that, the people
to whom the government belongs are not backward
. in. seizing this great weapon of prosperity and
union. Let jus regard: the nitional currency not
as. money alone, but as the life blood of the nation,
, welling from it great heart at Washington..
. And there is another consideration which" it would
be well for Oar people to'keep in . mind. If present
necessity does not teach them to save their pennin
:.and cease the useless squander of mony,he com'-.
peti ion of the industrious and thrifty , race, with
which they are brought in contact, will soon teach
the lesson. Rebel scrip was plentiful and of little
valae Those,' who placed no faith in - its redemp
tion spetit It as freely as it was made. Others who
boarded it, now .bitterly deplore " their error. But
the tofmer must cease their reckless extravagance,
arid the- latter, forgetting their unhappy reverses,
' learn to appreciate the value of true money, issued
Ly'estabUshed and recognized authority. Our na
tional eurrency is now, what.it was predicted by the
most sanguine rebels "Confederate ! money" Would
be,-f-ae good as gold. Let as, therefore.': so esteem
it. J We ofUie South jnast adapt ourselves to the
. situation of present affairs, and begin anew the race
- with, that confidence, in our government and its re
sources, which are so cheering to the Korthern peo
ple,' 1 We njWt not lag ; behind because of the want
; of proper means to recuperate "our f energies. . ; We
i have them at hand, if we will only so apply them as
' to reap their full benefit Do not falter, therefore
: for lack of confidence in the government or its cur
f. rency. Bring to marketha(ever you have conve
nient to sell, and spend your money thriftily, as
- -l-hongh it were the . previous metal itself, and then
save what remains. - Nothing should now be lost
il i necessary all is .needed.
. North-Carolina must be a great State and her
people a great people. ' Behold, old things have
passed away ; all things are become new." There
: is now. no more war, no. more reason for sloth and
indolence, and no , more worthless pape . money.
r The prospect is inviting, .North-Caroltmas. Oome

great Republic, and in that the prosperity of your

Resolved, That in addition to the grateful allegi
ance which we owe to the Union for having secured
t-ur prosperity and liberty in the past, we feel that a
urther debt of gratitude is due from us for its no
le sacrifice of blood and treasure is rescuing us
rom the tyranny and oppression by which the
renzied ambition of bad and reckless men has
crushed us for the last four ears : forcing our citi -y.ens
into their armies to fight against the flag of
their country, and to become instruments for fixing
despotism j and slavery upon themselves and their
:hildren v robbing us of our substance toi accom
plish the same unhallowed ends; and hushing our
remonstrances and complaints by dungeons and
halters, that they might impose upon the world an
appearance of unity and accord in purposes and

and the inborn impulses of American freemen must
revolt with horror and disgust. ' j j

all combined resistance to the laws and the peace of

At a meeting of a large number of the citizens of
Richmond county, N. UJ, held at the Court House
in Rockingham on the 10th day of J.une, 1865, con
vened fo the purpose of expressmg hei("riadiness
to give cheerful support to the laws and regulations
of that liberty giving gOveftment,; from which, in
ah evil hour, this section ofour country withdrew.
j On motion of Gen. A. Dockery, Col. J. W. Cam
eron was called to preside. ; On taking the chair,
Col. Cameron addressed the meeting in one of those
elegant speeches, for which every one so attentively
listens when he has the floor contrasting the pres
ent deplorable condition of our country with the
happiness and prosperity it enjoyed five years ago
and pointing the audience to the Union of the
States as thd only condition that could ever ghre
any one iof them those dear rights of freedom thiy
once so Abundantly enjoyed. ! '
; At thei conclusion of the Chairman's speech, on
motion of Gen. A. Dockery, Dr. W.I O. )V all 'and!
Wf P G,ibson, were appointed Secretaries' for the
meeting.;:'''''' - i -j ; f.v-. . -t

the following named persons ; O. H Dockery, Thos
Cooper, R. T. Long, W. P. McDonald, Presley Ma
son, Wmu Gibson, James L. Yates, Terril Coving
ton, Johi D. Shaw, and John Shortridge.
During the absence of; the committee from the
room, Gen. Dockery entertained the House in that
.able and "forcible manner w hich haa ever given. such :.f
staunch support to his cOin try's best interests. -Unfolding
the 44 Stars and Stripes " amid the most ;
vociferous applause, the oid Hero seemed to'grow '
at least jsix inches taller under its! invigorating
waves, convincing all who heard of the truth of his '
assertion 44 that he always felt larger when listen- ,
ing to Hlil Columbia." j - . ;
After a half hour's absence the committee through
their Chairman, O. H. Dockery, reported the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
ed:' .; j: t M'-; ,:
Whereas, In an evil hour and under inauspicious
omens, the south, yielding to the seductive influ
ences and intrigueing designs of fanatic il and un
scrupulous secession leaders, withdrew from the
federal Union thereby without an adequate cause,
periling jher dearest and jbest interests in a pro
tracted a,hd obstinately contested civil, war, and
thereby cutting loose from the ancient and time
honoied moorings of ber political fathers, among
whom he who was''first in peace, first in war, and
first in the hearts of his countrymen " had taught
that 44 th'e unity of government, which constitutes
you one! people, is also now dear to you. It is
iustly so for it is the main pillar in the edifice of
your real tnaepeaaence. ine support of your
tranquility, a: nome your peace aoroad, or your
saiety, o your prosperity, of that Very l.berty which
you so bpghly prize." " That it islof infinite mo
ment thit , you should properly estimate the im
mense value of your National Union to your collec
tive and: individual hippiness. Tbat you should
cherish a cordial, habitual and immovable attach
ment to fit accustoming yourselves to speak and
think off it as the palladium of your political safety
and prosperity, watching; for its preservation with
jealous anxiety, discountenancing w caterer may
suggest jiren a suspicion that it cap in any event be
.-tbaudoned and indignantly irow'ning upon the first
ilawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of
ur country from the rest, or to enteeoie the sacred
ties which now link together the various parts."
And, whereas, this act of secession; bas been atten
ded with untold horrors to us, to our children, to
our posterity, by the brutal and barbarous slaughter
of human life, by the immense sacrifice of property
and by imminent peril to the well being of our po
lit ca structure, therefore be it
Resolved,., That having liaised the standard of
revolt and appealed to the arbitrament of the sword,
it is our; duty to abide its decision with becoming
composure. j
Resulted, That we do now, as we have ever done,
utterly Repudiate the fauatical heresy of the right
of secession under the Constitution, and especially
do we discard, as supremely ridiculous, the accom
penyingiclaim of a right to 4 peaceable secession ' -,
believing1 that our fathers in the ''formation of a
mure perfect Union " were, wise1 enough to form a
constitutional government for national purposes
without Necessarily planting therein the seeds of its
own i di solution. ' US- 'j i
Resolved, That secession having "played out,"
" that" too,in the hands of its friends, who have exerj
cised for the last four long and bloody years un
limited control over the personal and political
privileges "Of our people, Costing us our all in a
wicked Attempt to gratify selfish1 ends, we trust
that that, party will henceforth stand aside, and give
way to men of more elevated patriotism, greater
moral werth and practical statesmanship. :
Resolved, That repudiating the right of secession
and denying adequate cause for rebellion even, we
