the ncble host of those Who perished iu the cause of right rom North Carolina AVORABLE STATE EELING The two newspapers of Raleigh the Standard and Progress express the deepest concern and re gret at the assassination of President Lincoln The Progress says the great mass of the people of North Carolina and the South deeply deplore the act The Standard says: has fallen at the bight of bis lame just as the sun of peace was bursting on his whole country which he had re deemed by his constancy his patriotism and his devotion to the endless existence of the American Union His name will live always while his as sassins and their prompters will be execrated as the basest and the most cowardly of human kind The secession of the cotton states which com menced in crime has ended in assassination We thank God that we are not responsible for either the commencement or the termination of this horrid busine The Standard says of the military and political situation contest is now over and it is the duty of every good citizen of this state to do all in his power to re establish and strengthen the national authority Davis has fled Vanee has fled Smith has fled secession is dead treason has been extinguished in its own blood and the old flag once more waves proudly over the capital of every state Thank God for it The period so long looked for and labored for by the true men of this state has ot last arrived Let those who are the authors of all the horrors through which we have passed and those who during the last two years have identified themselves with the Davis ana Vance despotisms make up their minds to retire to private life The people have no use for them Politically they are doomed men for all time to The Standard declares against the tolerance of the present state government and calls for a new election by the people The Progress of the 19th says: Sherman docs not want to annoy or injure the people of North Carolina but if his demand be not complied with and if Johnston a ttempts further resistance we pity the country through which Union armies may pass A week ago the feeiing in the Union army toward North Carolina was that of fraternal almost brotherly kindness but now we regret to say there is some bitterness on account of the brutal murder of the president by some hired ruffian of the plotters of treason Of course the people of this state are in no way responsible for this deed which shocks humanity and blots American civil ization but the innocent as well as the guilty may have to suffer fur it if armed resistance to the government be nerare 'Enounces Gov Vallee as a des says he waa bonSht UP by the rusts with the promise of the succession to 'avis that he boasted that Sherman should be defeated and driven out of North Carolina and that
