Warsaw, N. C , Aug. 22, '92. Dear Sir: I notice an article in your last week's paper from a War saw correspondent signed "Sickle," in which it reflects on the Warsaw Presbyterian Church. Nov, as there are some facts true, therein stated, I simp'y desire the public to know the whole truth of the matter. For some time past it has been re ported that our pastor was taking an active part in politics and had even expressed the desire and intention true remedy. The cause of the pre sent movement is deep rooted and and wide spread. It is one that in a large degree affects alike every la borer and wealth producer of the a hole country. A portion of those suffering from the blighting effects of gome great influence caused them to organized to study the situation They formed themselves into a great vigilance committee to search for the cause, a cause that made thetn poor er while each worked harder and created more wealth, a cause that has made poor the people whose la bor has made their country rich Since this class of men and this con dition existed in every quarter of the country, ihe organization soon spread over the whole country.

The exercises w ere very the church held a consultation and unanimously agreed that a commit tee of one be requested to have a private talk with our pastor, and if such reports be confirmed, then, in that case, we intended to take ac tion by requesting his resignation, as, in our opinion, his influence should be exerted lor a more holy cause than that of the Third party, and by reason of such reports our congregation had very materially tr. tinto vnnnc Merritt would I tends to degrade American labor. not have beea novated ft. : - ljeffisiaiure. jkiwhh " pressing themselves that he either ought to abp.ndon the pulpit or cease rymjcal discussions in public, as it rectlyu----. to the best inter- R.

'iHE RALEIGH COKFBREXCE. On April 17th I called a conference oi the Alliance of the "State through one representative from each coun ty. I did it in the Interest of our principles and the cause of reform. While at times during the year many of us (though a unit In thought) have differed in Judgment as to me thods, yet to-day the organization U practically a unit in action as well as thought. I believe that the guid ance of a divine hand has turned what at times seemed to be mistakes, Into blessings. Our seeming errors have proved to be the essence of wisdom, for by what methods could we have been stronger than we are to-day ? Therefore Jet us at aU times have that charity of opinion for each brother, for we may honenly differ, that we have a right to expect from each other brother. DEATH OF COL. POLK. During the year tHe organization, National as well as State, has suffer ed an irreparable loss, and each member has felt a sore bereavement by the untimely death of our great and beloved leader, Col. L. 2j. Polk. We have neve- known a purer man. nor has any organization ever been blessed with a more ardent, devoted and loyal leader, yet his charity to ward those who diffe-ed with him In opinion, and his spirit of fairness to- ... ward those who opposett him was al most superhuman. His great work and his magnificent example lives after him, and Is to-day an Inspira tion to every reformer to have the courago of his convictions and to Senatorial convention.
