Mr.. EDIToR-I am a stranger to you
and the north, native OF Kentucky, but
a citizen and no stranger TO this great
Tennessee valley, from its limits in every
direction, and as an unknown, respectfully
ask small space in your paper, because
my friend i. Q. Jeffries recommends the
| Stark Co. Democrat to be staunch sup-
porter of emigration, and as firmly up
| holding justice, regardless of consequent
| ces"
What I would defend is this courteous
disposition of the south toward the north,
refuting every rumor bloated throughout
| your county about the nature of the vel
come given by the people here, and
| the continued treatment under the press
of devastation and poverty. The effect
of the 'lost cause" in part they blame up
on themselves, and hold no secret or open
| enmitv to even those who came here and
| helped to destroy the wealth, and happi-
ness, and peace once theirs, but now, and
! ever since the close of the late unpleas-
| antness,' have extended the uncovered
hand of friendship 10 Tie laborlng and SOL
