Mr.. Fulton
Sir-Through the columns of the Jov
nal | wish to address few remark,
our brethren of the Democratic parry h
the County of New Hanover, and nu On.f
ly Of New Hanover, but of the who,
Eastern portion of the State. And the frs
remark | would make Isl. that if ever
Democrat in North Carolina will only Do
HIS DUTY, the State can be carried in No
vember for Polk and Dallas. 1t was on
own neglect and lukewarmness in prepa,
ing for the contest IN August, that proven
ted Col. Hoke from being elected. Hos
was it! Why, in great many Counla
there was no organization effected upt
within, in some instances, only few dow
before the election; and in others, perhn
a fortnight Or three weeks. In some Coul,
ties where we could then, and can nov !
carry very respectable poll, we hadn
candidates for the Legislature at all. va
this right! Is this the way that men, VIII
believe, and who know that they are epb
ted under the banners of Truth, sbous
act! Is this the way our Federal opp
nents act? No. Look at home, in Nes
Hanover County-look all over she STAT
and you will ever find them, whether inh
minority or the majority, toiling and won
ing with an energy and perseverance wo
thy Of better cause. Look all overt
countrv-look at our brethren in n. Yot
in Pennsylvania,-in word, look at then
every where, except in North Carolin.
and You will find them thoroughly arouse
you will find that Federal caIumnia
and Federal misrepresentation are promp
y met and refuted, both on the stump ami
by the press, at all points. Are you vii
ling, Democratic freemen of North Can,
lima, to have it said of you, when the con
test is over, that yours was the only Stan
in the Union that failed to do her duty
Are you willing, when your brethren lhrO
cut the country shall have freed The oil
Coon. as he calls himself, in NovemOF
next, not TO have hand in cutting dow
the tree think know you weIl enus'
to answer, NO, for you but how cany
expect to be I" in - AT the death, unles
you join with energy in the chase. TOT
serious, would put solemn question los'
cry Democrat who may read these remarh
Do you believe it Is important that Repa
lican principles shall be successful or not
l, Do you believe the dearest interests OF yGF

the issue now made up is one that is (raugl
with the most serious consequences {
your selves and 10 your country !! | knO's

be in the affirmative. Why then will yeI
not be up and doing' Every Democn
