The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-10-18
North Carolina.

We are glad to see that the old North State
is steadily if noiselcssly moving on the righ
path, since the gallant Wings of that State
repudiated MANLY for his unsoundness on thu
Southern question.
We rejoice to find that the gallant and fear
less CLINGMAN is properly appreciated and sus
tanned by the constituents he so nobly repre-.
scented, and for whom he made such sacrifices
last session, as the whole country knows. In
honoring him they reflect honor on themselves
There beats no truer heart, there shines no
brighter intellect than his, in the State which
gave form to the first Declaration of American
Independence.
The Lincolnton Republican says:
PUBLIC DINNER TO THE Hon. THOMAS l.
CL1NGMAN.-Last week, when we were in Mr.
Clingmans district, we were much gratifed to
hear that general desire was felt among his pat
riotic constituents, of all parties, to manifest
their high appreciation of his services in Con.
gress by public Dinner.
The matter was first suggested in Henderson
county; but wherever mentioned, it met cor
dial response. So warm is the approval through
out the District generally, of Mr.. Cingman's
course, that all desire to meet him at the festive
board and, therefore, one Public Dinner will
not suffice.-Let it 60 round. Let the first en-
tertainment be given in Buncombe, his home and
then be echoed in every county in the District
and when it comes to Clevelands turn, let the
table be long and abundantly supplied; for Old
Lincoln wishes to participate.
From the same paper we also clip the follow
ing announcement:
SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETNG.-In another
column will be found a call for meeting in
Linconton, to adopt some proper constitutional
mode of protecting Southern rights and promo
ting Southern interests. In this movement we
hope all will cordially unite. In Alabama and
other States, the citizens are forming associa-
tons, and pledging themselves to deal with no
merchant or factor who brings his goods or
wares from beyond Mason and Dixon's line.
Whatever may be done, let this policy be dis
tinguishing feature in the leading measures
adopted at the meeting of the citizens of Lin
coin.
The action Of the people of Wilmington also
shows that they are bent on making move
ment, and a practical one too. We take this
account from the Aurora:
A sTAMPEDE.--The people Of this district being
excluded from all participation in the common
property of the United States, by recent Act of
Congress, have wisely determined to compel
all free colored persons to emgrate to their bre-
thren of the North. We understand 700 have
lately left here for New York, Philadelphia, and
Boston, and about 800 more are making prepa-
rations to remove, as soon as the ensuing Legis-
lature adjourns, unles they succeed in their petit
ton to that body to be recognized as State pro-
perty, receiving support and protection in consi-
deration of their services on the public works.
We would advise every district in North
Caroinato adopt similar measures, as the Guinea
population, deprived Of all outlet by this act,
will very soon supplant the whites, unless they
are sent off-thereby Kidding ourselves of one
great nuisance in the way off negroes. Let
US try and oblige the Northern fanatics. Ifthey
want negroes let US send them these, the most
worthless race upon earth. Then if they desire
more we will endeavor to accommodate them
from time to time, as fools and dotards shall see
cause to emancipate their slaves.
