NORTH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Standard, in some structures on
Senator Badgers recent speech in the Senate,
has the following patriotic remarks. We have
no fears but when the day Of trial comes North
Carolina will be found battling for the consti-
tutional rights of the South:
"The people ofNorth Carolina are devotedly
attached to the Union. They have accustoni'
ed themselves to look upon the Constitution
with pride and reverence, as rich legacy from
their fathers, and as the noblest- manunlent OF
their wisdom. They would regard the tisso:
luton Of the Union as among the greatest of
evils; but not the greatest-there is one great.

authority; and such a government ours would
undoubtedly be if the opinions declared by Mr.
Badger should obtain generally among the peo'
pie of the States, and become the settled policy
of the Government North Carolina is welded
to the Union, but when the terms of the marrl-
age contract are riolated-when her friendly
rcmonstrances are treated with contempt
when she perceves settled policy on the part
of Government to degrade her in common with
the other Southern States-wien her rights

that returning sense Of justice will see her

She has honestly hoped for the best; but now
she begins to fear that her forbearance has been

SENATOR FooTE-In relation to the letters
Of Col. Gregg ard Chesnut to Senator Foot,,
the Montgomery Advertiser says:
"It will be recollected that Senator F"nte,
upon recent occasion i'll the Senate, went ont

South Carolina, viz: Col. Maxcy Gregg AMI
Col. James Chesnut Jr., for sentiments uttered
by them in speeches before their fellow-citizens

of the other. We will undertake to guaranty
that if Mr.. Foota sends noto to either of these
gentlemen, it will not be sent to the grand jury.
