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

to tin peace of society. But our leaders said no I

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.
