A Welcome TO Northern Settlers.


a Welcome 70 Northern Settlers.
Tie New York Tribune contains an ex-
cellent letter from GOV. Vance, OF North
Carolina. giving expression to the kind
reception that awaits all genuine settlers
from the North. and elsewhere, who de-
sire to establish themselves in North Ca
rolina. A New Yorker having written to
Gov. Yancejto inquire9whether colony
Of Northern settlers, who proposed pur-
chasing In Western North Carolina,
would be Welcome and safe in that region.
Gov. v. answers the inquiry and takes
occasion to vindicate the feelings of Che
Southern people and to expose the gross
misrepresentation OF partisan newspa.
pers giving utterly false impressions to
strangers. Gov. Vance assures his
Northern correspondent of the welcome
that. since the war, has ever awaited the
bona tide settler from the North Who has
come to live and be citizen among ,us.
He states that it is the universal desire
OF the people Of North Carolina to secure
the filling up OF the land with immi-
grants, Northern, European, or any other
that can bring capital, thrift and good
Qitisenship With then; r. isf true says
Gov. Vance, there is no love for those
styled 'toarpet-baggers'' that is. those
who comeFfor political ends only-but
the Southern hand is open to those who
come to identity their interests with
ours--to plough the earth, build the
mill, WELD the hammer, engage in trade
or embark in any honest calling. Gov.
Vance admits that on the part Of South
ern persons there may be, in not few
cases, some Of the old bitterness OF the
war; still TanEli1g. This, ihes claims,
is buty natural, and what might be ree-
sonably expected. But Gov. Vance pro-
tests that the feeling Of unfriendliness to
Northern comers in general does not e1-
ist. He,, therefore, appeals to all who
deeire to live in North Carolina to come
ON with perfect confidence, both as to
Welcome and protection.
Ali, now, that Governor Vance says
for North Carolina may truthfully be
uttered in behalf OF South CaEolina.. we
belieya athat Ms know something pf tie
sentiments OF South Carolinians in the.
upper, middle and lower sections Of thei
State, and we affirm that. in no County
of South Carolina would the bona fde.
settler fail to receive hearty reception.
We have oonversed with settlers from the
North and Northwest on this subject,
and weHhave received the assurance OF
the Kindness with which they have been.
received: They feel perfectly satisfied,
and inlthis spirit do they write back to
their friends athome. The same invita-
ton that Governor Vance gives for North
Carolina, may be given for South Caro-.
