t facte 1 !ue.-'tt-- it Gii?on:a. I was
present chat morning, when Mr. An
derson received and read aloud an
urgent letter from a prominent citN
zenof II, telling him of a strung c-le-mtrt
there who wished earnestly to
know their duty in the present be
wildering crisis ; that tho?e who had
heard Mr. Anderson on tno questions
i.-'-t.c, believed him to he th? r:en
to help them, in this trying hear, o
see clearly the path oi' duty. Mr.
Anderson reinrrled th..t that was the

and enthuse those people as did lie v.
Alexander Craighead, to whose pa-
triotism. wisdoM. n.l wmrit-ro voar
j people are now erecting a monument,
i Now, Mr. Harris, I ask space in
your paper for a word (h with re
ference to repeated allusions to Mr.
Anderson, that to say the least, are
painful to his congregation. It has
been stated in the Observer end The
News that Mr. A was splitting his
congregation in two by his so called
political activity. Now, the facts
are these, and ready to be proven :
Mr. Anderson has not taken any ac
tive part in politics; he has not tak
en any pert in the primaries, or in
county meetings, except to cst his
vote. As to his congregation, Mr
A. hes'uever.had the same hold upon
them that ho has now. There iO'
po.fiMy, iih;e or ten members of K
j K church merchants, directly or
j induc-ccly) who are very much
(chagrin act! at Mr. A's decided stand
j for ihe Alliance, and without ex-
Cellent people have in many, rraay
: wavs ffaih.d to their implicit coa
. lideiice uad high esteem for their
( paster. lieuieinber, piease, those nun
Alliance members cf our church are
tho moneyed men of the eoinmuuiiy
all of whom are in the habit of giv
ing handsome practical evidence of
their alection and good will. That
they rebel against his decided ahilia
tion with aud energetic efforts to
farther what he consci'enciously be
lieves to be the only policy left an
oppressed people3, is natural and ad
mitted, As to tbe propriety of a minister
taking p.-rc in polities, his ory teach
es that there are times when minis
ters of the Gospel must mingle in
the contest. V.'heu the whole na
tion is in excitement, and the issues
at stake involve great interest and
saend privilege:, w hen truth, justic-s
libei iy and morality, are ctiuggling
1 a:: on ;t oppression; wueii spirits long
i:;g for a It tier state of thing.1, need
the support and aid that tome alone
io:n the treasury of the Lord. Yea,
the all sustaining tru lis cf revel
lien. Your correspondent is a stiiet
stickler for .propriety in ministers.
That the dignity of the ministry may
be sustained, I think, with honor,
from much that is common among
our minibtrs, and while 1 have been
a careful observer, and vvatched with
concern the persona! hearing of all
ministers, I have, yet, to find oiu,
who comes nearer a high standard of
reverence, consecration and devotion
to duty than Mr. Anderson.
While he is vivacious, uniformly
cheerful and sociable, he never on
any occasion, compromises his dig
nity, or the sasrod c-llice he holds.
His work us a pastor, in the Sunday
school, prayer meeting, fearless sin
searching sermons, is something
wonderful to relate.
And a3 a matter of iustice that
our faithful pastor may be seen in
tho true light, I have written this
article. Should you decline to 4':ive
it space, please do me the courtesy
to send it back, anl I will sk its in
sertion elsewhere. M. G. G.

The hope which
our opr-jnentf. son: "ilrus profess to
entertain, that through discontent
and division among the Democrats of
your State, we can no longer rely
upon her steal fastness, seems to me
preposterous. The people of North
Carolina understand well the doc
trines and purpose of the Democratic
party. They know, because they
have felt, the deincrmiaatio:: of tha
party to prot- ct teem iio.u cui mid
secure to them the rights and beach's
due to them under our institutions.
They know th-V. its efforts in this
direction have grown out of, and are
the rer-alL of, p .rty principle and are
not in the least discredited by the
shallo w pi, tence-i of demagogisQi.
