Kohl Ittr by General Rnfnn Ilarrln. sjr, vttao Fought tor the Confederacy In Meventy Hal i Ion-Why He rSnpiort Urnntftnd Coin. General Rurus Barrlngcr has written tho fol lowing letter accepting tho Republican nointca tion for Elector in the Sixth District oi North Carolina. General Barrlnger la a leading mew "berof the bar ot his Slate, of large means and high social standing. lie was opposed to the accession of North Carolina, but after tbe war bad begun, entered the Rebel army, and fought gallantly, rising from the position of Captain to Brigadier-General. Let every voter read It: CnABLOTTB, N. C, sept. 21, 1868. Mcssr. William Sloan, S. P. Bherrill, James McDonald, Committee, etc. Gentlemen: -Yours of the 17tU inbtant is before me, informing me of my unani mous nomination as the Grant ami Colfax elector for this district. I have been a burnt from the State four weeks, and this nomination was made without my knowledge or consent. I did not wish to take an active part In politics. I have avoided corumittlnir myst lf lull? to auy fiarty. I do not live by otllce or agitation. But n view of the momentous issue presented by the Democratic party at New iorg, I go for Grant aud Colfax with all my heart, and I accept the nomination tendered. I beir to thank Ibe Republicans of the district for the conddeuce reposed in me, and to return the committee my obligations ir, the kind manner In which they have made known to me the wishes of tbe party. Owing to an affection of my voice, I may not bo able to canvass very extensively; bat I shall In few days enter upon the work before me. Meantime I sive you an outline ot my views, which you can use ai you think best. Early in the summer of 18o5 I saw that re construction was not impossible, and I resolved to do all I could to promote it. I meant to do bo, not with mere lip service, bat with an honest conviction and with a heartfelt zeal. Why not? I had once loved the Union. It wits the work of our fathers. It had often protected mo in foreign aud far distant laud. It had given ns untold blessings at home. I had op posed tbe war, but when it came, and I saw no way to save ourselves no hope to preierve society, but for all to go together and take our chances on the field rft buttle, I forgot party, aud went into it with all my soul. While thus doing my whole duy to my people and to my section, nothing occurred to myself personally to awaken uudue bitterness or revenue. I knew what the conflict would be before 1 went into it. I had cherished no prejudices against the North. I had learned to appreciate her wocdeitul energy, steadiness oi purpose, enterprise, skill, nnd genius. I gloried in lree institutions, but I knew with what flercenesi and fury free people always fight. It was after all only a struggle between two opposing theories of civilization, each supe rior ot its kiud, but each having characteristics hateful to the other. But with slavery the preat distinctive feature -(one, tbo superficial differences must gradually disappear. Our theory having gone uuder, we had no alternative but to adopt the other, aud to proceed cautiously and gradually to conform to it, or pluuec hope lessly into the vortex of anarchy aud strife. I recognized tho fact that great wars settle politi cal nehts and principles. People said we were not conquered, but overpowered by numbers. But there are always moral causes that give the victor his numbers, Hnd inspire them with forti tude, enthusiusin, and courugo to press oaward to the deaih, aud until victory crowns their efforts. What were these moral carsps? The unreflec tive, the selfish, aud the vindictive are apt to look only at the surface, und say hate, fanati cism, aud the lust of power. But it is a fatal mistake to suppose that thee permanently con trols the interest ot man, guide the destiny of nations, or animate the hopes of the world. Whatever, then', the moral causes were that triumphed in the conflict, they must go on to conquer, until they reach their just and legiti mate results. The millions that prayed and fought and perished for them will not, after ail this, stop at any half-wav house, or turn back, lu defeat and disgrace. Until these results are reached there cau be no repoe. Resistance reanimates them. But once reached, all settle down, and the work of peace truly bgins. Passions die out. The wounds of war are healed. Society is reconstructed on its true basis. Virtue and intelligence resume their sway. Rents made in laws, constitutions, aud in all prescrip tive rights are peacefully bound up, and the new guarantees become political landmarks. Now, all admitted that it was the Republican party that triumphed In the war. Hero at the tiomh it was ever charged that It was the essen tial elements of a Black Republicanism that were at work North that elected Mr. Lincoln, that organized the Union armies, and that led them finally to victory. The great bulk of the Democrats North, who entered the Federal miiiy. became Republican. In May, 1805, the Democratic party was politically dead, and tho distinctive tenets of Republicanism were prac tically recognized all through the North. Pjr mjscli, I always felt that these theories lay at the bottom of the Revolution. I did not dread them to the extent ot others, aud I was always willing to compromise our troubles, if I could Lave believed that tbe Southern people were only in a temper to accept just results. I kuew they were not, and 1 was willing, rather thau eubjugatlon.to fight for their sake.But when that overwhelming calamity came, I said promptly and frankly, accept the results of our defeat, adopt Republican theories, and proceed in our way and time torontorm to them. I will be frank now, and admit that tbe progress of the war, and especially my own experience in the array, dH pelled tn some measure prejudices I had against tbe masses, and especially colored people. As a Southron born aud as a Confederate officer I never cau forget the fidelity and devotion of the humbler class of whites and of the slaves in our midst. Though it comes from myself, I will say it: If the politicians and upper class at home, who had all at stake, bal done their duty, like those iu the army, the result might possibly Lave been different. Through four terrible year I lor one never niiK&eU a tour of duty, t-xcept when wounded, on leave, or la prison. Nor did my men desert me. No member of my old company was ever so much as tried by a general court martial. My regiment was pro nounced In official reports "a pattern for others." My brigade entered upon the campaign of 1805 with thrice the numbers of any other in the ervice, and In tho day ot trial thirty officers and over two hundred men 6ealed the last ConfoJe Ta'e victory with their blood. Let those who en Joyed bomb-proofs aud civil offices, while brave and true men battled at the front, call me what they please, I am bold to s xj that the leson of all our troubles baa given me more faith luthe humbler American freeman, more confidence iu liberal institutions, aud, I am not afraid to say, more respect lor even black Republican prlnci- rles. I am not ashamed of tbe cause for which fought, nor ot the part I played in the war. But as God in His mercy spared my life through seventy and odd actions on the field of battle, through three dangerous wounds, aud througa cents ol death lu camp and in prison more ter rible than fields ol conflict, I trust 1 have lived to learn at least something by exDeriouce, and that 1 may ever have the" iierve and independ ence to declare for the right. No man cheridheg more thau I do the heroic courage of the South ern people, and the noble sacrifice made by tho great majority of all clashes lor our cause. Over the graves ot our fallen dead I will ever shed teats of affection. For surviving soldiers and all true Confederates, I shall delight to wreathe cbapjetiot Ihiuu, and hang arouud their names the bright nior.M of honor and renown. This is all 1 owe to the past. A bleeding, ago nizlng country lies before u-iu the throes of revolution. I now look mainly to tho future, and the chief qeenlion is, how can we escape the sew dangers ttm-atculng nsf Go back three years; cn any man doubt It woald have been belter for us to have volun tarily conceded tegro suffrage in 1885T This w ould have broken the force of tho revolutlsn. Jt wan all 1 then advised, aud I feel conSdeut it was all the Republican leaden and mies thea expected. But I ever said, that unless this much Was corns Jed, mora and worie must come, and cams, too, in a torm and under clrcaustancet deeply hua,tliatlug toourpeopl. and dangerous to tin peace of society. But our leaders said no I I'vni'idc nolhliijjl Aud lliej reported to the most detpcratr mran to Induce the people (o i Tl. a 1 1 r, ? rvl amnnrl m pn ivy vi ririiiumii. " " r ----- , was scorned throughout the South, and in .g State eveu the new Constitution, framed r-ni)L,r the policy ol Mr. Johnson htmseir, wf, TOteJ down. At last, after the spirit thua sh,owtli Con. press w as forced to act, in order to 0pun tue way lor tbe ideas that had triumphed n the war, for the protection of those w'j0 embraced then, and especially lor the protection of Unionlets and four millions of Iteedmcn, still threatened with black codes and other hostile legislation. The Howard amendment bad left suffrage to tho States, just as the conservatives desired. That rejected, Congress proceeded to pass the reconstruction measures. These measures were not unconstitutional; nor were they de signed as punishment. The time had pnssed for punishment. The Northern theory of the Constitution always favored coerciou. The Southern Whigs believed in it until they Were belogged by secession. Coercion was male good on the field of battle, and with It followed all the rlchts incident to successful war. But if this is not o, still the fact remained that we were a conquered people, and it was worse than folly tor tbote who set out by inaugurating unsuccessful war to d.ctate terms to the con queror. The truth is, no written constitution ran stand tbe lest of civil war. The Confederate Constitution was shattered ere six mouths, and by the very men who now denounce Congress for usurpations. But these acts were oassed conferring uni versal urf rosuilrac, Mnd they have now been ex edited. Where arc the terrible evils, the horrors ot St. Domingo, so learlnlly looked tor? Wuerd the cnflscation, the nrrro social equslity, the mixed schools, the proscription and the negro supremacy eo loudly predicted? Southern whites all vote, ami oulyafew ex-ofDcials are excluded, probably temporarily, from holding office. There is no negro supremacy. Every State, district, county, city, town, and village iu tbe land is governed by wbite men, and always will be. If carpct-b .egers, scalawags, aud neproes hold power, it is only because tbe whites, under the udvlec of misguided leaders, refused to vote, or, worse still, lctl into the snare of a white mau's party. Tbe only difference is, these "new men" have uiven ns the "results of the war"all at once; and with the plough-shared reform they strnck deep Into the musty institu tions, habits, aud customs to which we have clung while all the world was marching on ward In tbe path of progress. Probably It is beet that it is bo, as these results were destined to come sooner or later. There Is no doubt that tn the end the South will advance rapidly under tbe impulse given her by conforming at once to the new order of thing. In North Carolina public credit has already greatly im proved. Again, the leaders charged that nothing woul I satisfy the radicals; aud that, after all, tbe States would not be admitted. Every State adopting a constitution is back, in the Union; civil government is re-established; law and ordur again prevail. There are no such out breaks and liots as tho e in New Orleans and Memphis occurring prior to the adoption of negro suffrage. Tbrse facts fully vindicate the 60undne s of Republican principles. And they vindicate the wisdom and good faith of Con gress. -Providence seems at la.-t to smile upjn us. With a fair crop planted, and better worked thau ever before, we have good seasons, aud hope fur the return of prosperity and plenty. The only drawback fo all this is the spirit of revolution spread abroad over the whnie land by the action ol the Nw York Convention of July last. That body revived inspirit, as well as in name, the Democratic party of 1800-61. The same old secession aud Coppcrheud lea lcis were there, supported by a class of Whig politicians from the S mth. who, after the war broko out, and the secessionists became odious, managed to ride into power, but who ate now under the ban, and therefore discontented. These desperate leaders, taking advantage of the temporary prejudices raised by tne recon struction measures, and especially negro suf frage, have not scrupled to throw down attain the gauntlet of war. In their platform, they solemnly declare all the Reconstruction acts of Congress, though passed in strict. conformity to the Constitution, "unconitttutional, revolu tionary, and void." They nominated lor President Horatio Seymour, who, as Governor of the great Siate of New York, In 1803 pandered to a Democratic mob that held the city of New York for three days, and was only put down by the Geueral Government a mob that burnt negroes, buns them to lamp-posts, aud sac'icd and fired orphan asylums. They put up lor Vice-President General V. P. Blair, who was nominated with a storm of applause, solely because a lew days before he had written a letter, in which, admitting all hopeef getting rid of the reconstruction acts by peaceful means to be gone, he boldly proclaims that the Presi dent elect bhould, on his own responsibility, in defiance of Congress, aud without auv ducisiou of the Courts against them, "declare these acts null aud void, compel the army to undo its uiirpa'ion iu the South, disperse the carpet-ba' Sta'e governments, aud allow the wutte people to reorganize their own governments." No such violeut and reckless proposition was ever before h'-nrd of iu this country. There were good men in the Convention, but this platform and these caidid ites conclusively prove that tbe extreme leaders carrl id every thing before them. The effect is seen and felt all over the country. At the North the pis sions of war are fully aroused. Throughout the South resistance is openly avowed. Officers of tbe law are defied; authority is disregarded; public dues are withheld. In some instances per sons accepting offices under the new constitu tions and sworn to support the laws made there under, denounce the whole as null and void, and of no binding force whatever I Iu others, parties are prevented from supporting the au thorities or accepting office by threats of vio lence and by business and social ostracism. These leaders are determined that the recon struction acts shall not succeed. They don't want the Republicans to succeed in pacifying tbe country. It would be doable death to them. They were the man really defeated lu the war. They brou.zht it on. They failed in their schemes then, and they are now doubly sore headed, doubly desperate. They are satis del with nothing. They grumble at everything. They deceive the masses iut as they deceived them tn 1800-61. They call It "peaceable revo lution," and they term themselves "Conserva tive Democrats." But they are more intent on mischief than ever. Their only hope is a counter revolution. Tbey may gain by it. Even a bad wind may blow ihein good. Whether the masses wish it or not, put these leaders in power and the peace of tbe country must be endangered. They might bo satisfied with power. But the elements of discord, once at Work, would never int. A conflict must euauo. Any trifle might bring it on. A single gun at Sumter summoned a contineut to arms, aud peaceful, prosperous, and happy millions were hurried to the harvest of death. The election ot Seymour and Blair does not mean a change of rulers. It means a reaction ; a counter revolution. What was ever gained by counter revolutions? They otily intensify passion, ii.crease crime, and sharpen the thirst for blood, aud further revolution. What did England 'gain by reaction in 100U? The most cruel, bloody, licentious, aud disgraceful reign she ever had. The oppression ot Charles 11 and James II forced still auother revolution, that of 1688, when all parties were glad to go Dick to tbe greut principles of the uprising of 1C10. It was a reaction that brought ou- tbe reign of terror in France, and pluuged all Europe in blood for twenty long years. We are now practically at the end of our revolution. We have reactn d its logical results IreoJom for ail tbe Union, and the equality of all j i . . ... 'mi. - . r . . ueiuru iuo mw. iuc tuuuu j is com paratively quiet. All classes are safo in life, l.berty, aud property. We no ueei only pejtce aud time to recuperate. Things will settle dowu sooner thau we suppose. Old par ties will dissolve. N-vy ones, moro tolerant to all, wid spriug up. This is tho spirit of the age. Only a few years ago we ourselves proscribed Catholics and Jews. Tbe retribution has at length come. But it can't last lung. The logical sequence to universal suffrage is universal am neny. aud with peace between sections, races, aud classes, it will soon follow. Now. will tho fieople risk all on the cast of a die? Will they, n a reckless effort to escape inevitable but temporary burdens and evils, iucur even the Chance of another war, and invite us once more to the carnival of blood? Not a civil but an Inttrjieciue war, before which will pale the late ?tgantlo struggle In majreilnde as the molehl'I o the mountain, and In fierceness and fury as the smile of a babe to tbe rage of a demon. For these reasons, I can under no circum stances vote the present Democratic programme. I have no special fondness for Republicans; but they never deceived ns, and I can at least re spect and trust them. This 1 canuot do with the Northern Democracy. They encouraged our secession leaders Into war and then decrted us many of them leading the Union armies against ns. The Republicans warned us against secession, and did only what they said they would. It is a small matter that in such a war as we have had "new men" should turnup. This ia the course of all revolutions. Half the patriots of 1776 were new men. But ourprosent novi homines will prove angels of light com pared to those who will turn np by tbe end of our second or third revolution, if counter revolutions once set In. On some accounts, I prefer a military man. As a class they have few prejudices, The boI dicrs ot the two armies will be the first to forget tbe unhappy past, and rejoice together in the bopes of the luture. General Grant was mag nanimous to ns In th surrender. He has uttered no unkind words of us. He bai commended the noble qualities of the Southern army. He is neither a rcgro-hater nor a negro-worshipper. It can now be only his ambition to restore tho Union he has saved to restore it In all Its parts, its Interests, its sympathies, and its aspirations. He will not only give us peace and prosperity, but a Union we can love aud a Government we can honor. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Rcfcs Bakbinoeb. WATCHES, JEWELRY, ETC. BAILEY & CO.
