to the following frank and tnrc'bIr appeal
"The recent election IN North Carolina if it be any
indication of public opinion national politics. is the
most surprising that has occurred IN history If the
Southern Fedcrallsts shall any extent succeed in
alternating their States from the Admns,raton-if they
