My DEAR SIR: Your polite invita-

ably and zealously represented. His
cause was II cause, to a greater ex.
tent, probably, than will ever DO APP

that you will have a pleasant time,

MEssRs EDITORS AS the Statesville
American did not for some time previous to
the discOntinuance of the Freeman's Journal,
honor that paper with an exchange, we are
excusable for not observing, until few days
ago. the remarks of that journal upon its
last issue. Its ire seems to have been pro-
voked by certain editorial criticisms on the
letter of Mr. Vance to certain colored del
egation who had invited him to address q
mass meeting of colored citizens, and it
thence takes occasion to denounce the Free
mans Journal as an "intensely Radical
sheet" and particularly the criticisms allu-
ded to as an incendiary effort to bring on a
war of races. Concerning the good breeding
and fairness of the Anasrsoau We have moth
ing to say. But we deny that the Freeman's
Journal was an intensely radical sheet If
it had been so it would have misrepresentcd
the views Of it's editors. It never endorsed
any of the extreme measures, such as confis-
cation, general Acknowledgement, or, popu-
larry termed radical In politics, it was Re-
publican, and fearlessly advocated the great
cardinal doctrines Of Union, Liberty and
Equal Rights
We regarded the letter Of Mr.. Vance as an
insidious attempt to decoy the colored peo-
pie from their allegiance to the great party
which had conferred upon them liberty and
political equality, and lead them to repose
their trust in those who had formerly acted
upon the principle that colored man had
no rights which white man was bound to
