Proclamations By The Governor Of North Carolina

Excerpt from Proclamations by the Governor of North Carolina: Together With the Opinion of Chief-Justice Pearson, and the Reply of the Governor In view, therefore, of this condition of affairs, I have deemed it my duty to issue this Proclamation, admonishing the people to avoid undue excitement to be peaceable and orderly, and to exercise the right of suffrage firmly and calmly, without violence or force of any kind. Every good citizen is gratified that North Carolina is at present as quiet and peaceable as any State of the Union. Let i1s maintain this good name for our State. Let us frown indign antly on the use of brute force, or bribes, or threats, to control the election; and let every officer of the State, civil and military, be prepared to check instantly any incipient step to sedition, rebellion or treason.
