liahea. the following Gard. from Northern
settlers in'Virginia and North Carolina:
teShfying that'not only are persons and
property safe inethe sections of those
States where they reside, but that they
neversaived in d a'more orderly land law
abiding community:s Many Of those who
thuhatestify are Republicans. and regular
aobaoribers to the New. York Tribune.
Such evidence ought TO have It's weight.
The teetimeny would doubtless apply:to
the South generally, under similar cir.
oQmatAnces:
Editor 81 Tie, IribataIes41ssiRu3:: wi; have
noticed recently d great many publioa-
lions IN your paper concerning outrages
committed by Ku Klux in; the Southern
Sfates: We know nothing of the truth
or talsity of these euargea, and shall not
undertake their refhtation, except go far
aathey mRy be- understood to apply to
the whole South. The undersigned, all
Northern men by, birth and education,
have. since the war. purchased homes
and settled, some in Pittsylvania County,
Virginia. and others ID Oaswell and
Rockingham Counties, North Carolina,
and many OF, usaare Republicans and
regular readers of and Subscribers to the
1r1oune. We have reason to believe
that4 large number Of our Northern
friends earnestly desireto emigrate to
the. .Sppth, supply themselves with cheap
and We fear that they nav be detarred
from doing So by the publications to
which we have referred. Z Itnis for tbis
reason; we request the insertion of this
letter in your, paper. in the hope that
such other, papers in the North as desire
to 90 Justice to every portion Of the
country will give 10 circulation. We can
say, IN truth, that not only persons and,
property are safe in the sections of Vir
3inie and North Carolina, in which we
Reside, but that welneV lived in a moro
orderly. or law-abiding community. I'VE

pecpie; our intercourse with them has
been,s in all respects,$as agreeable as we
could have desired..r We have seen no
disposition to mistrustl or even slight us
on account Of our politics on the con.
trary, We have Uniformly been treated
with civiiity and Respect byevery' One
with whom we haye come in contact. 1t
40 Wv An BOT CI 1qstloe TO ourselves, and
to. the people living in the States OF our
