~ The papers complain that the
Alliance don't give them the right to
express their opinions. This is untrue,
However, the Alliance denies them the
right to SANDER people. We have a
law against slandering the names of
women and men. We must have a
law to prevent newspapers from SLAM
dering innocent people for political
effect.
X The Piedmont Exposition at At
lanta, Ga, promises to be a grand sue
cess. President Polk received an III
gent invitation from the management
and from President Livingston to de-
liver an address on the 3rd and 4th
prox.-Alliance days-but he was
forced by pressing official duties to
decline.
~ The Capital Warehouse for the
sale of leaf tobacco, corner Of Blount
and Davie streets, has been opened by
Mr.. John Bollinglate, of Asheville, N,
@. He is said to be q man of large ex-
perience in bright tobacco, and &C
quainted with the trade of Richmond,
Va, and other markets, and well pre-
pared to provide the usual accommo-
dations for farmers teams, etc.
* Strict, iron bound partisans say,
Just give our party a chance and we
will redeem the country" Well, the
Bible and the Gospel as generally
preached, will redeem sinners. But if
the sinners make no effort themselves,
nothing will be accomplished. Will it
do to just simply let the party" carry
us through? Men and measures must
be brought to the front. Bring them.
* Messrs. Latham, Alexander &
Co., bankers and commission mer-
chants, New York, have just issued
their report on cotton movements and
fluctuations. 1t IS a handsome book,
but fails to tell how farmers can afford
to raise cotton at cost and less for the
purpose of making other people rich.
II also fails to tell of the combination
to keep cotton down when it should be
a third higher. but the SUb-Treasury is
"a comin'.' 1t will be a bomb in the
camp of infdmv.
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER desires
to assure the brethren throughout the
State that their kind words are warmly
appreciated, and that their hearty en-
dorsement Of Col. Polk will ever be
gratefully remembered. His devotion
to our glorious principles is in 10 man
ner abated, and he Is going forward in
the even tenor Of his way, despite the
concentrated onslaught upon him by
foul-mOuthed and contemtible politi-
clans, who are doing the dirty work of
their masters. Cease, vipers; We
knaw a file"
President Polk has issued his
official proclamation for the organiza-
ton of the State Alliance of Wash
ington at ColfaX, on the 2Sth inst, and
for New Jersey on the 18th prox., at
New Brunswick. Seven States have
been added to the great Alliance column
during the present year, viz, Oregon,
Washington, Wisconsin, Iowa, New
York, Delaware and New Jersey, and
it is thought that Nebraska and Mime
sofa will fall into line before the close
of the year. And thus the Alliance
is going to pieces"
Those who have been spreading
bad reports about the Exposition don't
know what they have been doing.
There have been a few little unpleasant
bitches, but men were responsible for
it. The Exposition is a big success
it is simply immense. 1t is far beyond
our expectations. In point of attend
ance it has excelled the great Exposi-
ton at Atlanta a few years ago up to
to this time, and is improving. South
ern people, and especially North Caro-
~linians, ought to be pround of it. Down
