As I'M rs IN NORTH CAROLINA.

AS 1T Is IN NORTH CAROLINA.
We clip the following from the
National Alliance, the organ of the
colored alliance published at Hous-
ton, Texas. Notice especially what is
said Of the influence Of the alliance in
settling the race question in the
south, and notice also the class of men
whose mischievous Interference is de-
laying the reconciliation. The same
classes are engaged in fomenting
strife, sectional hatred and race preiu-
dice in the north, and it is done for
like purpose in every locality-the
promotion Of partisan ends.
