COMPLIMENT TO THE "OLD NORTH"
It has been stated in several of the
Northern papers, that it was President
Iyter's intention, in the event Of its becom-
ing necessary to use Military force in quel-
ling the outbreak in Rhode Island, to
make requisition on the Governor of
North Carolina for the requisite troops
Many conjectureS have also been made as
TO the reasons which probably influenced
the President in Ills determination to select
the Old North, from the whole Union, as
he State from which to make his levy
We have no doubt, it was from conf
dence entertained, that the Governor and
People Of North Carolina would fearlessly
do their duty, and obey the laws, without
hesitation, however painful the task. We
rejoice however, that this test Of their fidel-
ity TO the Constitution, has not been neces-
safy.-Raleigh Register.
