The Gastonia Gazette of last week contained the following: We entirely agree with the Wil mington Messenger in the declar ation that it is a mere waste of -.pace and tioie for Democratic ue wspapeis to be worrying over the Populists and their allies and to be constantly advertising them. It is enough to expect that there will be fusion this year in North Carolina as there was two years ago, and that all present indica tions to the contrary will "eud in a long and big hug." What the fusion parties do on their electoral tickets should be a matter of little more than Dassingcouceru to Dem ocrats. We agree with you in part. But we should like to call attention to the fact that the Democrats in 18 94 labored hard to show people what a surrender of principles the co-operation" had 14 'Read Butkr's 'Tatriotic', Ad- dress On the first page.

How is it? Settle and Company proless to "think that fusion on State issues is all very well, biit when it comes to 'national issues fusion is all wrong! '.How do you Populists like that? 'If you help to elect men like Settie " arid Pritchard, you ought to see to it -that you get some ot the "fod der" they are feeding on. . ; . ' Senator Butler says in his ad :.:4i'3ss to the People's Party of this -"'State that only silver men must .. ,be nomiuBted this year. If, ac- cording to.

If you do not mind, Molt and Butler will .-; inake a division in your Republi can party. The Willeyton sub-Alliance ot Gates county is in trouble. Lately this nobre organization, which ' '' never interferes with anybody's re- jligionlor politics, was forbidden Uie use of the neighborhood public school! house. The matter was re . ported, to the County Alliance, and the County Alliance forthwith read the school committeemen a lecture for their narrow meanuess. Well, ' "tre- are on tlje side of the commit tee. School houses are State prop erty, and should be u?en for what they are intended. We remember iltat ud m Catawba Marion Butler two parties to made. We "worried over" this fact some little. We all thought, thenthat the time would come when the eyes of the blind would be opened. And now that Butler, Wotd, Lindsay, Pritchard, Holton, Pearson, Settle, and others have written aud spoken on the subject, we ask ail candid men who have read the correspondence aud the speeches whether the Fusioniste have not convicted thenuelves of hypocrisy and double dealing. The i i t. jLftrmucrauu papers wuo wuny enough to publish the speeches aud letters referred to above are put ting before the world the. most damning evidence against Fusion that could be written. The utter lack of principle, which actuates the Fusiouists, appears in the re cent utterances of these Fusionist leaders in a way that Democrats could not set forth. v We think, too, that there will be fusion again, but we are saving up the records the Populist and Kepublican lead ers are now making in the hope that their present utterances will not tally with future history. We agree with the Gazette that Demo crats should be prepared for fusion again, but we do think that the present utterances of that gang should be published and comment ed on, if for no other reason, than that the honest men among the Republicans and Populists may see.how a few self constituted lead ers are speaking pf thema if they were so many cattle to be led and slaughtered for the profit of second rate politicians. Then, if the rank aud file tollow their leaders, they sin against better knowledge. Xl'ev .parsed a ay at Ws!iliigtu Chy lftet week during a meeting of the Natiotial Farmer' Alliance.

They were allowed to go uncar-d for siuce Ilis Majesty Ma riou Butler aud Congressman Shu ford and Harry Skinner were call ed to Waahineton. these two children, it is rumored, went to Washington last aeek in search ot food and shelter, and were grossly neglected by their former friends, Butler, Shuford and Skinner. The ties of past friendship were iuot sufficient to melt the hearts of these thren Populist Musketeers, hence the neglect. The early life of these twin childron of fortune was beautiful. They were caressed and fondled, they were fed on flat tery and loud declamation, mixed with the scalps of many Democrat ic heads. But the tooth of time has done its deadly work. Th? 6ilent tents of these two erstwhile magicians are now spread in the Populist grave yard, and the in scription on the tombstones read: "We died true to our instincts asking for something better." Therefore, let all who contemp late the glorious present Of North Carolina Populism take courage from the example of these deceased statesmen. They have lived and died, when it once seemed they would live forever. Their brief existence reminds us of the brevity of all things. Let us take courage. The day when such men can rule the State is passing away. The evil they did lives after them iu the persons of the Fusion office holders, but they too will soon he the distinguished gentlemen here in noticed.

You knew now where all that "painful" feeling can be cured, aud if you refuse to. go, we suggest that you let those of "us, who are satisfied to live here awhile longer, have a rest from Judge Chark'n propaganda.

Move, then, if you can't live here except in pain and sorrow.

Do let us exhort you to movel MORE ANCIENT STILL. Speaking of the recent tilt be tween Congressman Peamou of North Carolina and Congressman Talbert, of South Carolina, the Wilmington Messecger remarks: The New England tauatics are not all dead vet. There is a Bar rett in the House, and for a Sooth ern man to say now he believed that secession was right is enough to stir up his soul with tremendous indiguation. And yet the first people who ever talked aud wrote secession were ihe New Eugland ers between 1600 and 1810, as we can show from their own records. What bigots aud intermeddlers 1 We agree to the above, but we wish to call attention to the t ict that State Rights and See ston were indigluous to New England soil. Albert Busbnell Hart, a ; professor at Harvard, has an His torical Monograph on Federal Government. Iu that book under the heading, Uuited Colouies of New England (1643-1GS4,) we read the following: 4,The Colouial leg islatures sometimes threatened to -ecede. Massachusetts was by far t e t-oiiiTeSt member aLd brow beat the othe, or declined to be boiiud by the constitutional three fourths vote, and iu 1653 put tor- ard a strong statement t state ovfteignty." The above will be found on pge 52 of said Monograph. Other au thorities might be cited to show that New England soil was the mother of the doctrine, and that it originated soon after the settle ment of New Eugland. We write this only to supplement what the Messenger has already said on the subject. Massachusetts, as the Messenger says, was the first state to talk secession after th adoption of the Constitution. to meutiou still another very un pardonable outrage put upon an other "colored man and brother," aud this time at the Hub of the Universe, the Athens of America, the local point of learning and general bumpteousness Boston- situate in the ereat 'abolition State of Massachusetts, where Jobu Brown' memory is held in sacred worship aud women were burned once as "witches."
