Of the News2 That paper, speaking but short t;-D
since of the fact that the CaIifornans had ovoInJ
Slavery from their State, after rejoicing over bo ~
of things, said: 't The South need not tall f r.

courage manufactures, cultivate liberaty. hqr, ,n.
dom, and let the institution Of Slavery orO irero,n
confined, die out as 1t n1ay.''
That is-in plain English-no matter what r,,.
gress may do, the slave States must submit. and 49,.
only this they must get rid of their il!ibarali s
folly, and prepare themselves for all the caamite,
which must result from the action of the pou.sl.vo
holding States upon the Slavery question. And fiji,
is the print which praises the gallant and natrioo
Stanly, and Insults the South by characterzur ber

''braVado" and empty "gasconade -! But mora
than this The very copy of the News which thus
commends Mr. Stanly for his conservative" course.
contains the following mpudent and insolent express
sions in regard to the Southern States:
'sWhen these valorous Hotspurs raise the stau-
dard of civil war; they will discover the mistake tbov
have made, even among their own constituencies
The faces of all honorable will be turned AGAINST
them, and their reasonable efforts aciH be as disastrous
to themselves and rutess Of cess, ns the conspiracy
Of Raron Burr. If they should madly rush 10 er.
tremlties, they must remember who is now the Pres
ident of the United States. AS he was not iDtrni
dated by overwhelming Mexican hosts, neither will
he fear an army of traitors. Gen. Taylor, as Gen.
Jackson, will not stop to parley with the fomenters
OF T6DelOn Is Qctermln6Q TO maintain the In
ion at all hazards, and we warn the takers of treason
to beware of acting out their braggadocio menaces
at least under the administration of " Old Zack''
Immortal infamy and felon's fate ,yiA be the result
Of all such criminal designs"
Is there SoutherH man who could receive COM
pliments from su ch source, and still be considered
sound and reliable the Slavery question! But
what, after all, is the difference between Mr.. STAN
| ly's position and that of the News? Has he not
already declared, in his place in the House, in re ply
to some remarks of Mr.. Clingman, that come what
might, he would regard the " cause of Boston mean
ing the Union] as the cause of all"! And has he
not also said that the Union was in no danger, so
long as, Clay and Benton were in the Senate and
Gen. Taylor in the White House! We take the
liberty of warning Mr. Stanly and his Freeso
hackers that if they suppose the people of North Ca
rolina will play the part of neutral in this contest,
or side with the North, they are fatally mistaken Our
people will sacrifice any thing and every thing to
preserve the Union but their vital interests and their
untarnshed honor; but these they will maintain, at
all hazards and to the last extremity. Mr.. Stanly
talks about Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Benton in the Senate,
and Gen. Taylor in the White House, saving the
Union. Does he not know that both these Senators
are Freesoilers, and that his cypher of President
has never yet ventured to whisper even WORD for
Southern rights! Let the hour come, which may
Heaven avert and these Senators, renowned as they
are for their experience and their mental powers and
this President, clothed he is with the Execu''e
strength of thirty States, would find themselves as
feeble and insignificant a feather in Niagara OF
straw before thunderbolt.
Now IS THE TIME, THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTH
REALLY DESIRE 1T, SAVE THE UNION All Iney
have to do is E to repeal their laws protecting our
slaves when they escape to their soil, to cease the
agitation of this question in Congress, and to let us
alone. "a Will they do it? They are the aggres-
sors-not we Will they pause in their aggressIOnS
Will they stop this warfare upon our rights and our
property? We make no threats; but we tell OUT
Northern feow-citizens, that they are deVoeu "
this Union and as they would preserve and PerPe'u-
ate it, now is the time for them to calculate S Vau0
and to look forward to the consequences which may
follow its destruction. We admonish them IN tllne
