NORTH CAROLINA.

!
The Resolutions concerning Slavery, wnicf
we have already published, have finally Passe'
b,rb Houses OF The North Carolina Legislature
10 the House. the vote was nearly unanimous Oh
all but lwo against which from % to 81 Vo'e'
were cast. They were amended in The HOUSE
by the following resolution, moved by Mr. o'ah
ly:-
Resolved, That we believe The people OF Norm
Carolina, Of all parties, are devoedly aliachea .
the Union Of the United States; that lhey iesall

with Jealous anxiety; that they believe II is Inc
duiy Of their public servants 10 discounlenahce

elegantly every attempt 10 ALLEVIATE any pol'iul

| sacred ties which now link togelher Inc various
parts.
This amendment was adopted SIS 10 49, and
was acqriesced in BY The Senate. We look upon
il as somewhat weakening the force OF The reso-
Iutiops. and should have been glad u see II re-
,eced. Blu, the resolutions, even as adopted'
speak out against The unconsiIulionallly and IN
;us,ice of the Wilmoi Proviso, and 60 to swell
he voice of he Souh against the aegressIons OF
the North.
From the Raleigh papers we observe that
pre " it.le fight has sprung up between Mf.
Clineman and the Wing clique al the Capital
,,r him as U. S. Senator and nearly succeeded IN
defeating MIR. Badger C's position on that &C.
c,s;on induced ferment in the Wing ranks and
brought down on his head Recommendations 81 Inc
| Wing leader Their structures have Gale iorlh
from Mr. an address 10 his constituents on The It.
cen, Sen ,orial Election, in which, says the San-
dard he deals some heavy, and we must say, de-
ssrved hows on The Central Wing Power. He
shows not only The neglecl and The fragrant inIus-
lice with With the Wing party, which has us
s,ul and centre in Raleigh, has treated Western
North Carolina; but he depicts, in colors as vivid
&C ,bev are rue, The manner in which The thing
| has been done"
The Norm Carolina Waig-nam is evidently
in trouble and confusion. Mr.. Clingman, like
Mr.. Bots, occupies peculiar position IN ms
party. Like Mr.. Bots too, he voted for the re-
| neal of the 2ist Rule in Congressman we were
therefore, rot lutte astonshed TO see The Demo-
Gratis oil The Legislature of North Carolina uhlIe
uoon him-a though nothing could induce them
to sustain Mr.. Badger, who is Pfovisolst on
principle. Blu. The whole mystery IS explained
nv correspondence between Legislative COM
,nitlse and Mr.. Clngman, published in The Stand
ard. which il quotes, as showing me sure anu
sale grounds occupied" by the Democrats III vo'-
ing for him. To a series Of inteIrogao-
ries addressed 10 him, Mr.. G. replies substantial
" as follows: As 10 a National Bank, ne does
not believe that here is, Tin any quarter, DIS
nosi,lnn % create such an institution, and the
state OF the county, as well As the condinon o.
the public mind, furnish decisive objections TO
any such measure, should the movement be
made" He believes that some notifications OF
the present Tariff are necessary, hut ne i not in
favo. Of its repeal. lie is opposed 10 The Ie.en-
actment Of The Tariff Of 1912, 'or any other dead
Tariff" Fl thinks hal some alterations should
be made in the present Independent Treasury
system, 50 as 10 make it more practicable, and TO
leave the proper discretion in The government Of
fcers.
On The slavery question Mr.. G. is sound up
TO the hub" He says:
II consider the adoption Of what is commonly
called the Wimot Ptogiso or the exclusion oi
slavery from the territories OF The United States,
AS being in nv Judgment, as gross violation oil
the Constitution as the Government could pos
sibly commit. A violation Of such character
as would justify The Southern States in resisting
lis execution by all means in their power, be-
cause urjus, and degrading to them. Having
been placed by nv friends in The position OF an
independent candidate, and believing that the
South will need all the Strength in The next Sc
na,e OF the United States that it can possibly
have under Inc Constitution, should feel proud
Of The distinction il conferred on me, and would
use my bes, efforts 10 advance the interests, in
the first place, OF my constituents, and secondly
10 promote the welfare ard honor Q: our COM
