the Southern States especially those that have
most negroes in them, are still so sgitated,
chaotic, and uninvIting, that. whereas white
emierants from the North and from Europe
ought now to be pouring into them by the
hundreds Of thousands, they are but tardily
fading there way there by the score. The
whole tendency Of the peeturbed and ill

We give this week three addresses pre-

letter from r. p. Blair, the second from
H. r. Helper, and the third IL an address
BY Mr.. Myers, (cOlOrsd) delegate from

DEAR SIN The National Labor Union
organization hold their third annual cor
vention in Philadelphia, Pa, commencing
August, 16, inst, and, As for one Of the ex.
ecutive committee, am authorized TO invite
any person whom may know TO be favora.
BILE to the principles which have been adopt.
cd BY the National Labor Union, 10 attend
the convention, or TO give their views and
opinions upon any or all Of the questions
embraced Ia the platform which the party
has heretofore adopted.
One Of the principal questions that will
again be discussed ut Philadelphia is the
present financial condition Of the country.
We well remember that when the bank OF
the United States controlled the legislation
Of the country-state and .national-that
you acted prominent part in protecting tue
people and the state Of Kentucky against
the power which the bank exercised In Other
locations, and that the country vas much
indebted TO you for the aid you rendered il
Abolishing that bank.
The congress Of the United States, BY
transferring power to corporations which
control the money Of the country, have Gre
ated worse monopoly than the old Unitec
States bank. To get rid Of this monopoly
and place our monetary system upon
sound basis, is q question which the conven
tion will again consider, and would be thank
full il your views may be had in form tha
can be presented to the convention.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
