A CARD" TO" THE PUBLIC-BUT
MOKF E8PKUIALLY TO THE 0
RIGINAL STOCKHOLDERS OF
THE NORTH CAROLINA RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.
RAllEIH,Dec. 19, 1S0G.
A the North Carolina Railroail was built,
and every part of the work let, upon esti
mates made by me as the Chief Engineer
of the Company, I deem it to myself, but
more especially due the Directors who ap-
ll.w.. II
nroved of those estimates, and with whom
I acted during the construction of the
Pnul aeverul ot whom have 'one to that
blissful rest " whore the wicked cease from
troubling," to no(pc the remarks of Mr.
Turner of Orange, in the meeting of tbo
Stockholder of tin- X. C. Railroad Com
pany, published in the Sentinel of tlie ISth
inat. In so dolne. 1 have no new senten
ces to coin, and no periods to polish. I j
liave simply to avail myself of history.
Oil i - - . - a- -i. mm t
and composes ready to mv hand", all I have
to aay and all that need be said. It may
not be a:nis, however, to add that this
history was made to meet the identical
charges now brought up ; tor it was ap-
prehended, from the subdued mnrmnrs and
ntifled utterances of the dav. (erowinff Ollt
of an extra judicial opiaioo of the Chief
Justice) that such charges might break
forth at some far off, 'distant period, when
pil the actors had passed away and no one
would be left no path-finder to track the
way they trod, plain, straight-forward, and
direct as it was. We feared oine one with
" eyes keen, I ween, to see what is not to
be seen," would discover some r " shadow
of turning."
U i ... ,.A nnauilil ntwl U'l-11 llfl'irk-
cn in years. The venerable Judge Haunders,
the Nestor of the Hoard, watched over the
affairs and condhct of the Company, with
the eye of an Argus, in all its incipient
stages, and all along during the weary
days of labor, and toil, and trouble for five
long years, when the work was finished
and crowned with its iron capped sopcr
stmctnre. He is now stretched on the bed
of sickness, never more, it is feared, again
" to appear among men. The gallant Fish
er foil in the thickest of the battle, fighting
for1 the sacred right of self-gore, nment, aud
constitutional liberty. " To bis memory

Mr. Fries and Mr. Washington, alas !
now no more men known, tried, and ap
proved in their day, were also of the old
Board. Gov. Morebeftd was the President
of the Conpany, In those days. He filed
theereatest offices in the State, won hy
his virtue, with tke plaudits and highest
meed of praise, from every tongue ; a
Governor ; in his brilliant carae: at tho bar
and in bis mullifariousjirivatc pursuits, he

What he ia, no one can aafely aay. He
ia all things by turne, and nothing long.
But what be was, let me ttU a moment :
Ha waa an ertptoel nil iiah rWasiou

Democrat aud a disciple of this same W.
ifr. Holdon. I read hia juner, the Stand

all the Democracy of the State, in the faith
aud doctrine of " State Bights aud Sccea
aion." i had confidence in him then ; he
wrote sharp).), and then, iust like he does
now, on tke other aide. I believed in him
and tbong'ut he would lead me right. I
waa ready to have gone with liim 1 had
too touch conldeuee in him) in lfr;i(J, when
be ail iecd no to secede if Fremont waa
elected, and in I860, when Mr. Lincoln
waa elected and be, W. W. llolden, my
old party leader, signed the ordmauce of
secession, said it waa all right. I believe
he wtid Bometlimgatout"oursacrd ngnts,
and bade me go and make good with my
muaket what he liad done with his pen. 1
was fool eoough to go that was all. 1
,i . i
was a simple creature; 1 uiav not unurr-
atajtd Lia " technicalities. Ana now

when you turn round nnd want to degrade
this people lor what yon taught them,
think vnn that thev will have anv confi
dence in ym I You sjioak of a " pretend-1
ed" Iegislature. That cornea with bad
grace from you, Mr. llolden. If It be true j
that this is a "-pretolded fitat Lcaiela-
ture, what were you but a " pretended" .
Governor 1 Were yon a usurjter, Mr. llol-l
den T Only " technically " so ! You have ,
now turned agaiust Mr. Johnson with ve-!
Horn of the viper, but ii you were duly a j
" pretendiid'' "Governor, then you were a j
usurper. This ie-the logical conclusion to I
he deduced from your position. I was j
willfnjr to say that vou were a sit? S1,n'-
Lcnony fateemor but if you say I am a j
" iin t. in " fearfalator. vou torce me to
sav that vou were a "preteuded" Governor,
aud I disptse pretence and the pretender.
Rut I may thank my "stars, c " Ah ! Mr
llolden, when you aud the '' colored per
sons" get to voting, you may think you
will be sure-enough Governor ; but darkie
is shrewder than 3-ou think for. You can't
fool him with your " technicalities" an you
did me; for hie Northern friends (yon
know somebody else will wjnt to be Gov
ernor, for instance, Mr. Jim Harris) will
tell who you Jtotw been, from which they
will guess who you are now.
I have done with you, Mr. Holden. When
you give evidence that you have become
a better man a man of truth one wor
thy of notice, I may notice you again ;
but not until then.
