HON. T. l.. cL1NGMAN.

We learn that Mr.. Clingman's recent Speeches
before his constituents of the Mountain District have
produced the finest results for the cause of the Con-
stltutiOn and Southern rights He has been received
at all points with much cordiaity by his old friends,
and ne has made many new recently, by his firm
and manly conduct in resisting the aggressions of the
Freesoiers and fanatics. We learn that he is much
stronger in his District now than he has ever been
before and that the bitter and unjust manner in which
ne has been assailed by the Raleigh Register and
few Federal orators who anxious to supplant him.
has added in no small degree to his influence and
popularity.
Wherever you meet an old Federalist in the Noun
tain District there you will find Submssionist and
an Ciingman man; while on the other hand all
the Republican Wings standing by him and are
soand upon the Slavery question. So far as this
question is concerned, Mr.. CIingman has right and
justice his side; and with the talents he possesses
as popular debaier, he has nothing to fear. He
must continue to bear down every Submissionist who
him or crosses his path.
We learn also that Mr.. Clingman occupies the true
ground upon the Tariff question. He is unwilling to
give bountes to those who assailing our dearest
interests and plotting the destruction of the Union

MIR. RuEL. OF MIcHlcAN

S We cordially approve the compliment which our
correspondent pays 10 this accomplished and nde-.
pendent Representative. We sympathize with the
just indignation which he expresses. 1t is vulgar
mind only which could descend to such mode of
testifying an opposition TO any man it is the blind
est fanaticism which could apply it to man like Mr..
Buel. The time is coming when the country will do
him full Justice: Hash. Union.
A Faithful Representative ResDard
II is no slight regret TO the democratic party and to
every Union man. that the Hon. Alexander W. Buel
the honest and independent representative from the
LIST congressional district of Michgan--is defeated
for the 32d Congress. Fanaiicism defeated him
this coupled with the untruth that the fugivesave
law suspended the h0bens corpus. During the iast
session of Congress member was more untirlng
in efforts to the passage of the peace
and among these he also voted for the fugitive
slave law'' He voted for that measure honestly,
believing-as many others did-that not only was II
constituiionally due 10 the South 6ui mat
it would prove potential in efecng the grand object
of a COMPROMISE between the South and the North
His high-toned course-his true constitutional course
has been epudated by majority OF his constituent
CIV and the following will show the height to which
malipnty towards him was manifested.
Let the South look at this sacrifice of MIR. Buel,
and saw whether there is in the North no virtuous
adherence 10 the constitution it is" Mr.. Buel
has proved there is. With regard to the result of
the election in Michigan, have only to say, so far
'as Mr. Buel is concerned, that
Truth crushed to earth-w rise again -
and he will. Like the phoenix, he will hereafter
rise from this defeat and like the slumberng giant,
ere long rouse from his recumbent position and
come all the vile Vaccinations Of his enemies and
the abolition traitors of the constitution.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS, 1850.
From the Detroit Free Press, October 80.
SHAMEFUL ABOLITION oTTRAeE-Hon. A. W. b.
Ell BURNT IN EFFIGy. We learn that on Thursday
evening, after the departure of Mr.. Buel from Jones'
vile, he burnt efigy by the abolition supper
tiers of Mr.. Penniman. more shameful outrage
was never perpetrated Those who differ politically
with Mr.. Buel have ever entertained for him the
highest personal respect and confidence The char
acter of no in this community stands higher.
As a representative in Congress, he has certainly
acquired position and reputation of which any man
might we'll be proud. An outrage so infamous will,
we confident, provoke the general indignation of
all parties in this district and excite renewed
ertions the friends of the Union and of its gallant
and eloquent defender. Whenever Mr.. Buel is burn
ed, it will be with the constitution of his country
around him.

of the Methodist Protestant Church, convened at
Rehoboth, Granville County, on the 9Th instant.

the Conference has expressly declared that such

SECESSION. The Fayetteville Observer learns
from various private Sources that the Legislature of
South Carolina will secede from the Union at the
ensuing session. and that the feeling of that State is
almost universally in favor of this movement. This
would certainly be much wiser and nober, than the
course pursued by Massachusetts. She is perfectly
willing to remain in the Union and enjoy all the
blessings which it confers. while she has not the
generosity to make the slightest sacrifice even of
opinion in its behalf. GoLds6oro' Teleernph

OF these seven States New Hampshire is the only

If them the sentiments of the Northern people, at the

The bitter does sometimes get bitten. Abolitionism
sometimes gets humbugged. but never beautifully
as in a case which came to my knowledge to-day.
During the great excitement few days since, grow
ing out of the execution of the Fugitive Slave law
at the East, loafng vagabond Of negro, who has
been we'll known dock loafer about our docks for
some years past, took journey Union Village, ia
this State on some business connected with the do
nothing society, of which Sambo is industrious
member. The abolionists, there asked him if he
was fugitive slave! CUTIE. to carry joke, (for
the fellow is practical joker) replied in the afHrma-
tive, whereupon they treated him very kindly, raised
money for him, gave him good dinners, some very
excellent clothng and, with letters from brother his
to somebody that, sent him on his way from town to
town. every where receiving the same attention at
Union Village. At last having reached Whitehall,
Sambo thought he would come back to New York,
and resuming his dock-loafng again, having made
money and comfortables enough in the Fugitive Slave
businesss,' to make him toeraby independent du-
ring the winter He tells the story of his adventures
with great gusto, and particularly the distinguished
attentions paid him by the e" big folks" He spent
several days at the house of Ex-Governor Sade, Of
Vermont. Barn now advises his fellow loafers, and
the free blacks generally go into de business and
make 'em fortune" The cream of the Joke in this
case is TO be found in the fact that the fellow was
South of Mason's and Dixon's line in his life
He was born at Saratoga, in this State in 1920, lived
while in Pennsylvania, and lattery in this city, but
never in a slave State. The documents % given him
by some of the abolition gentry he fell in with are
exceedingly rich.

EEDIsTRIcTING THE STATE. In our opinion it is
the duty of the next Legislature repeal the law
acted by the Wing Legislature of 1857 laying off
the Congressional districts of the State, and
the Of 1923. At that session, the democrats
had majority in the Legislature, and it became
their duty to district the State according the new
apporiionment; they did SO, giving to themselves
FIVE districts and the Wings four-Inaking the dvis-
ion equal as it was possible 10 be made. In 1876
the Wings. having majority the Legislature, re-
peaed the law of 1923, and established the pres
ent law-gving themselves six members of Congress
and the Democrats three. Could anything be
more unjust than this, even if the Wings had ma
joriiy of thousand two in the State? The OBJ
ject of the Wings was political one; Of
flee for greater number of their politicians and the
vote Of the State for Wing President, in case the
election was thrown into the House of Representa-
tives in ls4S. These were their real objects. But
the given for the alteration of the districts
were, that the Democratic Legislature of 1923
had committed fraud on the People, in the manner
they had laid off the Districts. The Democrats
then avowed their determination 10 wipe off the impu-
taton, soon they possessed the power do so.
1t is the duty of the Democratic portion of the
TO execute that determine ton. North
Carolina is Democratic, and man will say that
the Democratic party is entitled TO five members
Of Congress. Repeal the present law, and re-enact
that Of 1923 is expected of our Legislators. An
other reason should he duly considered: the next
election Of President of the United States may de-
volve the House of Representatives. and it is of
The utmost Importance that the vote of North Caroi-
ma shall be cast for sound and safe Democrat. AS
to the question of consttutionaly there need be
hestancy now; the wings settled that in 1867,
and they cannot complain if the Democrats choose
take the advantage of principle then established
Besides The restoration of the act of 1923 is de-
handed from those who entertain doubts the con-

let the Wing act be repealad and the original act be
restored. Neacdern Republican.

The NORTHERN PLATFORM FOR THE NEXT CAM
PAIGN. The following platform is laid down in the
ment of the Free Soil press troug North and
West:
LIST. Congress must prohibit slavery and establish
freedom in the Territories. Notice of bills to this
effect has been given in both Houses.
I'd. Slavery must be abolished in the District of
Columbia Long enough has it been there to disgrace
the nation. Let there be end of it. The National
Government must be delivered from this abomnation.
The attempt TO neutralize slavery must be fought
til it is thoroughly defeated. If this chatteism of
men isa State institution, let be driven to the States
where it belongs. and there let il die.
Sd. There must be more slave States added to
this Union. Not another of these sweitering bodies
of DEATH these nurseries of oppression, treason bowie
knife civilization and pitch pine chivalry,
into increase the debauchry of public sentiment in
this country, and add the influences that transform
our American democracy into clustering sham. '.No
slave States - Speak, write, agitate and vote
with this watchword. Savannah Netos.

FREE NEGROES. We hear hut one opinion ex-
pressed not only by the press of State, bu, by
every one with whom converse, in respect to free
negroes. All are unanimous in the opinion that the
approaching Legislature ought 10 pass an to re-
move them beyond the limits of the State. We adj
nit that, TO the Legislature, the duty may be pain
full one. For, none will deny that, in removing this
class of people from the scenes of their childhood,
where they enjoyed health, plenty. and happiness,
deep and lasting wound will pierce the heart of ALL
But necessity, imperative necessity sterny admon-
ishes US of the expediency of such act. And
while we here give it our unqualified approval, we
cannot but regret that, the unaccountabe faulty of
Northern Abolitionsts urges to this conclusion.
The safety of our people and proper regard for the
welfare and future subordinaton Of the slave popua.
ton demand it at the hands Of the Legislature.
We know the humanity of North Carolinians, and
we know that all imaginable leniency will be exer-
csed by the Legislature in making arrangements for
their speedy removal. Let the North have them.
And let their curses rest upon the North because Of
their removal from land flowing with milk and ho-
ney, to land where they can scarcely procure the
necessaries of life. On the heads of the Northern
fanatic rests the responsibility. Gosboro Patriot.
