Liberal Republicans of North -Carolina are moving. "Leirgc. bodies move slowly" ioxAwv this body does not move slowly. We .feared at one time there were not enough of Liberal Republicans ,in this State to officer a ward meeting, and to guard against such a catastrophe a brother editor sug gested that MrvJEIardic Hogan Helper Ik entered for three chances, thus : Mr. Hardie 1 y 3Ir. Hogan 1; and Mr. Hel per 1. As soon as the suggestion reach ed Salisbury Mr. Helper procured a tallow candle and formed himselfinto a torch-light procession in its honor. Fori once he was Happy Happy.IIel pcr.i The happy suggestion threw more light on his mind than anything ince the publication of Helper's "Xoon-day "Exigencies." After per ambulating the streets of Salisbury, he resolved himself into a mass meeting. Mr. Hardie took the chair and icqucst- d Mr. .Hogan to act as Secretary, while Mr. Helper was appointed a Committee of three on resolutions. Mr. Hardie explained the object of the meeting, af ter which theCommittce,on resolutions retired for a few minutes nnd agreed on the following: Wiieukas, Ulysses S. Grant, a youth to fortune and fame unknown, has wil fully, wickedly and .maliciously disre garded our wishes and very much dis gusted each of us by turning us first out of the office of Assessor of the 6th Congressional District of North Caro lina, and afterwards out . of the Post Office at Salisbury; therefore llesolvetl, That said conduct on the jvart of the said U. S. Grant is hereby denounced by every mcmler of the Hardie, Hogan and. Helper families, and pledge ourselves to cheerfully co operate with all who have been turned out of any federal office; and with all who feel sore beeause4hcy have failed to gH an office, and with all those who would like to eret an office, and all oth- to defeers, at U. S. (J rant for President. Hesolvetf, That we will cheerfully import any body for President who will appoint us to office, and to this end we m the name of the Hardie, Hoan and Helper families of North America, individually and collectively pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. liexolecd, That the Chairman appoint delegates to an ex-office-holders Con ven tion, to he held in Raleigh on Tliurs-. dav, April 2"th, 1872. 'Resolved. That these proceedings be published in thellolden Tfrvortf andthe Tribune. Under the third resolution Mr. Har die appointed tlie following delegates to the ex-office-holders Convention : Hardie Hogan Helper late Assessor iif Internal Revenue, for sixth Con gressional District ; II.
