We are pleased with the spirit Of one Of the Re
solutions Of the Legislature of North Carolina
which expresses the kind and grateful feelings
cited IN the breasts OF the People Of that State by
the conduct OF those brethren otheira in the North
who have respected and upheld what the people
OF the Southern States understand TO be their con-
