FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

AUGUST 20, 1899.
To the Editor Of The National Era:
This is the grst article have ever attempted
TO write for publication. If you think it is
worth while tG publish a few lines penned by a
Republican in North Carolina, do so.
The cause of Freedom here is still progress
ing, and will, until Freedom is gained.
We hear much said in this country on the
Slavery question. which is the most violent that
ever saw the sun. In fact, the people are get
pie more and more excited and it is an ev
dent fact, the light is becoming more brilliant
and the people are now standing with their
eyes almost open and the "sum of all villain.
les" appears visible to them. Here in the
South we have many men who will stand up
for Freedom, while We have many whose wills
are good, but-perfect towards. This class is
to some extent made up out OF the Quakers.
., how long will men profess one thing and act
another? We think, as soon as men will stand
and act up to their professions, the time will
well nigh be at hand when we can send to
Congress Republicans, who will stand up in
battle array against the corrupters of this ma
ton.
We just need few more Worths, and few
such as Cassius NJ. Clay of Kentucky, and
think, then, we could roll the wheel of Free
dom with more ease. The Impending Crisis is
doing noble work, and we think, if Mr.. Helper,
ITS author, would return to his native State, it,
with his assistance, would set things more cor
rect.
At the ensuing Presidential election, facts
can be ascertained, whether men will act in &C.
cordance with their professions, or not. We
trust that the days of mobbing are passed in
this country. There is no doubt but what
there is a better prospect for much to be done
here for the cause of Freedom than has ever
been done. We want all men in the South
with Republican principles to speak out their
sentiments. Right here in the South is the
place to work /; and We hope to see more done
than has been done. V.
