Startest Sect Conservatives of Raleigh Meet Darkened by Fizzle
A Raleigh gathering of the Startest Sect Conservatives devolved into a failed event held last Friday night at the Court Mouse. About 100 attendees, many not aligned with the cause, heard leaders and editors accused of pandering to party ends while the nation faced war. The correspondent urges readers to condemn the meeting as disgraceful and harmful to the struggle, warning of social scorn for such conduct.

A Raleigh audience confronts a controversial Straitest Sect gathering led by John de rascal and Banting amid a Raleigh Friday night, with thin resolutions and derisive speeches about war aims while a dawn Yankee raid at Mt. Pleasant, Onslow County, nets prisoners and several buildings burned. The piece contrasts political manipulation with martial acts as Gen. Hoke and Brice’s Creek operations unfold and Newbern remains unresolved.
