TO The Workingmen and Women Of North
Carolina.
Having been apI ointed a member Of the
National Excessive Committee, for the State
Of North Carolina, it becomes my duty to
call on you to assist 10 the Reform move
ment, inaugerated by the National Labor
Union. 1t 10 time we were up and At work
Oar friends Of the North, East and West
have put the ball in motion, and We must
not lay behind. Go to work at once and
organize Labor Unions in every section OF
our old North State. Write at once to W.
Ii. Sylvis, President Of the National Labor
Union, box 1857, Philadelphia, Pa, and
ges a charter and all information on the
subject. Chattel slavery has been abolished,
but the slavery Of Labor to capital has not
been abolished, and will not be 90 long as
the people viii elect law-makers who are
ent e.y 10 the interest OF capital. II is time
the people had taken hold OF this subject in
earnest. MOnopolies Of all kinds are fos-

sr Of concentrated wealth against it. We
must strike nc the root Of the evil.
Why 10 it that the producers of all the
wealth OF this great country must toll on
from year to year with barely enough Of the
accessories Of life to keep body and soul
together, while the non producer rolls in
wealth. You all know tbat such are the
facts, and it becomes your duty both e
yourself and to posterity to inquire into the
causes Of this great wrong. Examine care
fully all national, state and municipal leg
islatiOn, and whatever tends to degrade la
Dor, aid panders TO wealth, arise in your
might and demand its repeal, and the sub
-titution Of laws that will make just dir
tribution Of all wealth hereafter prod iced
between labor and capital.
Examine carefully the monetary system OF
the land, and when you find that il is IN
Just, demand its correction.
Y The producers Of this state and Of the
United States, hold not only the balance Of
| power, but bold power sufficient to CONTROL
! (by electing their 0rn representatives. the
whole legislation of the country. Why
then will they abjectly take what capita
i sees tit 70 give them, when by the exercise
Of their rights they can command instead
Of being commanded ! ak the friends D.

with Gods help we will work OUT a rev 10

A few weeks since, in answer to a St
Louis inquirer, we gave ut length few Of
the reasons wAy Cooperation In America
bad. in number Of instances proved fail
ure. In that reply, we took no exception to
the principle Of Cooperation, believing rs
we do, that in ITS development lies the sal
walton Of our toilin4 millions from the dom
ination Of capital. Some Of our correspond
ents, however, seemed to have formed .
wrong opinion on this point, which We do
not think 10 warranted under the circum-
stances, and in order to meet these real or
supposed objections, we have prepared an
article on True and False operation,
which win be Published at an early date.

There is no portion Of our common coun-
try which presents such Inducements to the
industrious, thrifty mechanic, either Of the
old or new worlds, a. the Southern States.
With almost bouDdless resOrrces-a gricul.
tural and misersI-with q climate unequal
led, and at the same time with it's industrial
energies paralysed, those ~hc 60 to make it
their home in the right spirit, may expect q
cordial and unaffected welcome. In late
conversation with prominent citizen Of
Gonzales, Texas, We were assured that the
tales Of terrorism with which too many OF
our papers are filed, are sheer fabrications.
That the great mass Of the Southern people
have accepted the situation in good faith,
and are ready and willing to welcome every
emigrant, no matter from what land or sec
ton be halls that instead Of repelling the
northern settler, they were ready TO render
bin all the assistance in their power, to
make his home q happy and comfortable
one. These statements cannot be other than
gratifying to every lover of his country,
whose views are bounded BY no sectional
hate.
Sore idea OF the immense resources Of the
South and it's recuperatlve qualities may be
derived from q statistical statement lately
published by Alexander Delmar. It is there
shown that on June 80, 1866, the population
Of the South amounted to 9,565, 7O6, and Of
all the States together to 81, sos 1872; that
the exports Of the South for that year
amounted to $272, O0O, 900, whereas in 1920,
the entire population Of the United States
scarcely ex ceeded that Of the South forty
years after, and the entire exports only
amounted 20 $5l ,0O0, 900. In 1850, with a
population of % 900 900, the exports of the
United States only reached $l36, 200, 900.
The South now, with not ore-half the popu-
latiOn, exports annually double that sum.
Nowhere else upon the earth do such e!e-
ments Of latent prosperity exist; and en-.
tirely undeyeloped as yet remains by far the
largest proportion Of its territory, and il
plainly SHOWS that an industrial population,
honestly laboring, will, in a comparatively
short time, rise it to the most prosperous
che sun ever shone upon.

The Inauguration Ball.

Gen. Grant finds himself more compli-
ant than he thought he was. He consents
at last 10 put in a personal appearance at
the Inauguration ball to be given in his
honor on the fourth Of March. And it is
distinctly announced that no negroes Of
either gender are to be admitted. This is
strange indeed, and it may cause the in
auguration ball to be the Inauguration of
grave Radical trouble. Whether the ne
groes are excluded in compliance with
the will of Grant is not announced, but
the exclusion, no matter by whose will, is
certainly at war with the whole spirit of
Radical legislation in regard to negro rights
and privileges. We all know that it is a
penal offense III the South to make any So
cial discrimination between the whites and
blacks, and is it not the hight of inconsis-
tency and absurdity for the Washington
Radicals, whilst countenancing and up
holding such legal provisions in the South
crn States, to shut out negroes from ali
participation in Radical festivities at the
capital upon the occasion of the Inaugural
ton of President whom they themselves
have aided to elect? What apology have
the Radicals for doing at Washington what
they would severely punish white men for
doing in louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, or
