Republican State Convention.
By direction of the Republican State Committee it is hereby announced that a Convention of the Republican party of North Carolina will be held in the City of Raleigh on WEDNESDAY the 26th day of February, 1868, to nominate candidates for State offices, and to perform such other duties as may be deemed advisable.
The vote in the Convention will be double the vote that each County has in the Constitutional Convention. Any number of delegates can attend, and the vote will be cast by a majority of those present.
The Republicans of the State are earnestly requested to take immediate steps to appoint delegates to the Convention. Let every part of the State be represented. It is expected that State officers, members of Congress, members of the State Legislature, and County officers will be elected on the day on which the Constitution is submitted for ratification. Let the Republicans of the State rouse themselves to the great work before them. Let them unite as one man to secure the ratification of the Constitution and the election of loyal men to all the offices, and thus render certain the restoration of the State to the federal Union.
W. W. HOLDEN,
Chairman Rep. State Committee
We have published in full today, the debate on the expulsion of a reporter for the North Carolinian who, following in the footsteps of the (so called) "White man's party" organ throughout the State, who devote the greater portion of their space to abuse of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, abused his privilege to such an extent that some mark of disapprobation was necessary. He was therefore expelled. It is a fit termination to the career of that new fledged reporter who may learn somewhat sooner than he otherwise would, that it was his place to report proceedings and let his master furnish the malignity, hold up honorable men to ridicule and prate about honor, as the Chinamen does when he pronounces all but his favored race "barbarians."
A reporter is assigned a seat in that body by courtesy, as he well knows, and he must conduct himself respectfully or the courtesy will be withdrawn. The freedom of the press has not been interfered press has not been interfered with, in the least. The Carolinian can add a picture of a soldier to its columns over its partizan report, as does the little Star if it choses, and no one will complain. No one cares what it says or does, in its columns, but every public as well as private body has the right to protect itself from insults within its walls, and all candid minds, after reading the report of the debate, will add "served him right."-Wilmington Post.
Our opponents thought at one time they would make much capital out of the cry that the freedom of the press had been assailed by the expulsion of this Reporter. But the cry was not taken up. The people saw and felt that the President of the Convention did right. The Post has taken the true view of the matter. There are others in the Convention, not Reporters, who are in the habit of insulting the body by their remarks. The Convention can afford to tolerate them as long as they restrict themselves to the use of their tongues. They are harmless. They think they are making capital for themselves, whereas they are simply adding to the strength of the Republican party.
We saw yesterday a couple of poor white women from the country, who gave us a most touching account of the suffering among the poor. One of them told us she had to spin her ten cuts of cotton yarn for a bushel of meal, and could not tell one day what she would have the next to support life. There are, today, not less than five hundred human beings in Wake County who are suffering the most acute pangs of cold and hunger.
We can hope for no change for the better until the State is restored to the Union. This is the great present hope for business of all kinds. Business is stagnant, credit is destroyed, and the burthen of this falls especially on the poor. The man who obstructs the return of the State to the Union is a public enemy. Let the poor avoid such a man. Let them curse him in their righteous anger, when they are enduring the pangs and the sorrows which he has brought upon them, and which
Mr. Rodman.
We copy today from the Tarborough Southerner, an article in relation to this gentleman, to show the estimate placed upon a patriot by the Rebel press.
Mr. Rodman was honestly a secessionist. He went into the rebellion as a devoted advocate of the rights of his section, and he maintained his opposition to the national authority until the last gun was fired and the South was subjugated. When the end came, he not only "accepted the situation," but he submitted in good faith, as an honest man and a gentleman, to the results of the conflict. Submitting thus, he was prepared to unite with those who were dedicating themselves to the work of repairing the losses of the war, and of building up again on sure foundations the prosperity of his native State.
What else, as a candid, honest man, could he have done? On one hand were the promptings of passion and revenge; on the other love of country. He chose to obey the latter, and in doing so identified himself with the Republican party. "His offence hath this extent, no more." His talents, which are acknowledged by his assailants, were thus devoted to good, and not to evil; and he has shown, by his acts, that he is ready and anxious to atone for the error he committed by lifting his arm, without good cause, against the government of his country. We believe Mr. Rodman is sincere in this, and that he is actuated by no other wish than to serve and benefit his country. We are not at liberty to question his motives as long as his conduct has for its end the good of his country. "The tree is known by its fruits."
The Southerner assails his motives. Who made that paper a judge in such matters? It by no means follows that the standard it sets up for itself and its friends is the one by which Mr. Rodman should be tried.
A citizen in this crisis is either for or against the government. There can be no middle ground now. Mr. Rodman doubtless feels the force of this truth, and has acted accordingly by identifying himself with the only party that can preserve the government.
We should be gratified if there were more of our public men with Mr. Rodman's antecedents who would pursue the course he is pursuing. The Republican party can not go to any man, but any man who submits unconditionally to the will of the nation as expressed by the Congress, may come to it. If the great body of the leaders of the Rebellion would follow the example of Mr. Rodman, we should soon have peace, good will, and prosperity in this State. If they were honest, as he is, they would do it. They promised to do it in 1865, but they have broken the promise; and because Mr. Rodman is true to the pledges which were made when the rebellion was suppressed, and they are false to those pledges, he is thus assailed and his motives questioned.
Mr. Rodman, and those like him in their antecedents who have joined the Republican party, can well afford to bear these reproaches and taunts. The bitter and unjust manner in which they are assailed by the enemies of the government will but strengthen their
The Proscriptive Spirit of our Enemies.
We are constantly told by the Rebel leaders that the Republican party is proscriptive, revengeful, cruel; that it is governed by no other feeling than that of hatred to the white people of the South. This is the charge. Our readers know there is no truth in it. The world knows, and history will record, that the Republican party, wielding as it has the government of this country for the last seven years, has exhibited forbearance, liberality, and magnanimity without a parallel. The life of no traitor has been taken. No man's land has been confiscated. Protection to life and security to property has been guaranteed to all - to outlaws, traitors and murderers as well as to the loyal, the virtuous, and the true. But nothing will satisfy these Rebel leaders save their complete restoration to power, and the extinction of every noble sentiment of freedom in the colored race. Give them this, with the power to shoot and hang the Unionists and to confiscate their property, and they would be happy, and would regard the general government thus perverted to their wicked purposes as the "best government the world ever saw."
Gov. Vance is a recognized exponent of the Rebel leaders of this State. He was their big gun in their late Rebel Convention. Among other things, he has threatened that when he and his party should again obtain control in this State, they would make the condition of the Republicans of both races more intolerable than Sodom and Gomorrah.- He said it, and neither he nor his mouthpieces dare deny it. They would if they could, but they well know the lie would be fastened upon them. Well, now, fellow-citizens, does that show a Christian spirit? Is this the way to build up this State, to promote good feeling among the people, and to restore prosperity and stable government?- The Republicans say that if continued in power they will do all they can to improve and build up the State - to protect all in life, liberty and property, and to promote, on a loyal basis, good feeling among our people. They propose to han no one.- They propose to deprive no man of his property. They would shudder at the thought of consigning any human being to the rain of fire which destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. They are men, not demons. Neither would they destroy even the good name of any one, by slander, falsehood, or malicious ridicule.
What a contrast in this respect between the Republicans and the Conservatives, so-called, led by Gov. Vance! The Republicans are willing to live and let live. They intend to keep the disloyal out of office, and to see that the State in all its departments is well governed by loyal men; but they have no spirit in their bosoms that would exterminate any portion of our people, or consign them to hell fire, as threatened by Gov. Vance and his friends and followers.
In December, 1864, Gov. Vance made a speech in the Commons Hall, in this City, in which he said that deserters and recusant conscripts should be caught or put in the ranks, or shot on sight, or at least condemned and executed by a drum-head court martial; and the Conservative, his organ, in its issue of December 21st, 1864, echoing his
