that strain. Would the tribe could
be increased '.'up there.?' The' south
believed it had a right to retire from
the Union of States for causes satis

patch calls attention to this: "that
Virginia stipulated rfl her ordirlance
ratifying the Federal constitution
that she was to have the right to
withdraw from the Union whenever
she was oppressed or denied her

corded to her, 6hewould not have
tried to secede. So in trying to do
what the other States had agreed
she should do whenever she desired
so to do. Virginia was in very truth
fighting for her 'constitutional
rights,' and Mr. Cave simply stated
a tact .when he made this averment."
Ignorance is at the bottom of the
misrepresentation of historic facts
and constitutional ptinciples. In the
north unfortunately the majority do
not rightly understand the very
principle for which the south fought,
and to-day insist that the Confeder
ates were traitors while their enemies
were patriots and heroes. They are
ignorantblinded, mistaught. They,
ought to take a cou se of reading.
Let them begin with Sullivan's
"Men of the Revolution," a ilfassa
chusetts book; then take Bledsoe's
unanswerable book, "Is Jeff Davis a
Traitor?" a Virginian book; then
read Mr. Davis superb argument;
next Alex. Stephens able work, and
if they will read fairly they will learn
something they will not soon forget.
The very able work by a Louis:anian,
whose name now escapes us, will
greatly help on their studies. Ignor-i

does not respect and defend his own

The Washington Post spoke of the
"affectionate magnanimity of the

Richmond Times Is conclusive:
"Theclairn to magnanimity wan,

It reminds the Poet of the reign of

the way the "magnanimous victors"

To the Repnbllcnns r XotfH Caroliun.
The campaign of is upon us,
and promises to be an important
one in many respects and I thmk in
the beginning is the opportune mo
ment to cpnfer with Republicans on'
the situation. Aside from a deep in
terest in the success of the Republi
can party, I feel it a duty incumbent;
upo me, as chairman of the State
committee, to give expression to my
views as to the conduct of tha com
ing campaign.
There is a revolution going on
throughout the Union among the
voters and the re-action is undoubt
edly in favor of the Republican par
ty. Why is this sb after ouly one
year of Democratic rule? Not sim
ply because the people see the very
self evident fact of the incapacity of
the Democratic party to govern this
nation, but because the Republican
party occupies high ground and
stands tor principles that are syno
nymous with liberty and prosperity.
It is but natural that the people in
their dire distress should turn their
faces toward that party vvrich has
principles and the courage to embody
them in legislation for the banefit of
the country.
The position of the Republican
party South, though powerless- un
der machine Democratic laws, is the
same as in any other sections of the
Union. It behooves us to follow in
the wake of national Republicanism,
enunciate the principles of the party
in our State platform, nominate a
straight Republican State ticket and
fight for it boldly and fearlessly. Xo
other line will lead to success. The
party has followed this line hteto
fore, and especially in 1892s Then a
new departure was attempted, and
to-day the Repubjican parthi ortb
Carolina stands on higher grouped
lhan any other Southern tatc We
have witnessed the disintegration of
the party in other Southern States
which adopted doubtful tactics. A
bold, honest fight on party princi
ples is the only way to keep the par
ty organization intact, attract new
adherents or command the respect
of the opposition. A straight '.-Re
publican State- ticket is the test of
loyalty that all true Republicans
welcome and insist upon, and any
thing short of that will not meet
their expectations.
Concerning local politics, I would
advise immediate and thorough or
ganization m
al! the districts and
counties on
a straight Republican
basis. In all
jRepublican districts
and counties run true Republicans.
In the districts and counties where
the Democratic majority is over
whelming and the Republicans think
they .can locally strengthen the par
ty and assist in the overthrew of the
Democrats or Populists, it might be
. I ..... r -r , ,
advisable to tlo so. uoweycr, local
Republicans must oc tne juuges 01
the wisdom of this course in their
own sections.
The prospects ot the Republican
party are all that could be desired.
One year of Democratic rule has
plunged the country into a condition
of distress never known before the
hard times are unprecedented. The
re-action has set in towards the Re
publican party. To it tho people
tMrn to lead them out of the w'KUer-
Idcniess of bankruptcy and ruin tbjat

A Letter Answered.
W? publish a short" letter from an
intelligent and honest Democrat-
one from principle to-day. What
he writes is just what tens of thou
sands of Democrats are thinking
about now. They do not like the
way they have been treated and feel
indignant because they realize that
they have been dtceivednnd even bc
trrfyed by the men they trusted.
Our correspondent asks several
questions he wishes answered. He
asks.
1. "Whom can we trust?" There
are no doubt men in Xorth Carolina
who have been in public office who
rrmy be trusted. There are many all
about who are not politicians, who
are not ofhW-seekers and do not de
sire office who may be trusted, they
are Democrats. We know such men'
men of great virtues as well as
men of fine intelligence. Thev would
stand bravery and squarely by their
saored pledges,
2. Why sha4l men who have been -deceived
follow the same leaders?
When a man solicits your support, if
you feel h is unworthy, have the
manliness to refuse it, to withhold it. .
Put no man on guard you cannot
willingly confide in, if he has de
ceived you once; he will be sure, un
der temptation, todeceiveyou again.
Be satisfied in your own mind that
yofir public servant is unfaithful, in
sincere, untrustworthy, and then
trust him no longer. Do not follow
unsafe, unwise, unfaithful leaders.
Be sure they are such.
3. Shall we toUow th sair - path ?
Our answer is Do not abandon your
bedrock principles, but abandon men.
Jinciples ate eternal tho same yes
terday nnrt to-day and forever. Mea
arc foam. upon tjler wave puppets of
an hour straws uj)un the stream of
'time and spot disappear. No man
E the greatest neasssary for the
world. IJf is soonlrgatteU. Other
mon take hj place in succession and
the world wags on just as if he had
never been Rorn. Stand by your
principles to the bitter end and the
last ditclk. Never give up the ship.
Never desert your colors. If men
prove treacherous and deceive you,
send "them to the rear as . unworthy
and try ether and new men. Demo
cratic principles arc fundamental
and are needed for the Welfare of all.
Maintain those principles; with un
deviating tenacity and fidelity and
zeal. As to public- servants tnev are
men and marvellously fallible. Look
at the I'resident and his haDnv:
family" abit him Grcsham, Car
lisle, flissell, OI hey," Smith & Co. If
it were impossible to secure men to
carry out in utmost good faith the
great fundamental's of Democracy
then the cause would indeed be
despuratc But we are not reduced
to that predicament. The south and
west have men who can be relied
upon under arty crucial test or im
perative exigency. Our coUntry
would indeed be in reduced straits if
this were not so. If only dema
gogues, self-seekers, party tricksters
and marplots were to bc had then
the career of, a grand and noble
Genimeift operating "under on
stitutional limitations and for the
ooif of the people would be a most
air2tviable failure on these shores.
Choose she vry besttmost upright
men possible, and turn out every
demagogue and official of whom it
cannot be t?ruly said m the wprds of
Inspiration, "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant." Wilmington
