Weekly national intelligencer., 1850-03-09

/, We are sorry to find that we mistook the posi-
ton of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, when we
supposed that print to be among the Southern prints
"oppesed to violence or political combination against
the Union" We reiract, at its instance, the credit
we had given to that journal, and restore it to its
proper position, by stating, in its own words, what
| that is, as follows:
"And since he [the National Inegencer] has fit to
quote from columns in relation to this subject, will
add for his benefit that have yet the sword which
drew defence of the Union shall feel hesancy
in drawing in defence Of the South should the attempt be
made 10 degrade her, the peeious plea of the Union 10 the
contrary not,cithStanding.'
So much for the chivalry of our contemporary
in Alabama Nav his "sword'' be eaten up with
rust in its scabbard before he has an opportunity
to imbrue it in his brothers blood North Caro-
lima print goes yet further, and threatens the sup
porters of the Union with hanging. Thus says the
"Aurora," published a! Wilmington:
sWhat are the which the constitution puts in the
power [of the President defend the constitution y The
Army and Nary l. any such fool to suppose that
the army and navy could be induced to take unanimous
course 10 such Ii is well known that half
least of the officers Of both Southern But that s
comparatively nothing Long before the army could be col
ectsd from the dispersed barracks ard the navy from its diff
erent stations, the matter would be settled Or settled
forces would be array, compared with which both army
and navy would be utterly Insignificant. There is such
word, too supplies. Where they to from with

ports how voted by the Congress No, we tell these

the submissionists Of the Reyoluon and WITH
GOOD SouTHERS-sLAvE-soIL GRAPE VINE"
Such is the language of few, and but few,
however, Of the newspapers down South.
The following account of the sensation of hang
ing, which we find going the round of the papers,
must be of considerable interest just now to our
friends on the sandy banks of the Cape Fear, since
hanging is the destiny predicted by one of the pa
pers in that quarter for those who dare to stand up
for the Union God bless il Y under which the
twenty millions of people Of these States live and
prosper:
