AonAoA WeDo9eLs
We Jay before the readers of the Old North
State this week speech Of the Hon. Daniel
Webster, recently delivered at Buffalo, New
York. Like every production from this emf
nent man, il will no doubt be read with avidity 1t
is filled with patriotic sentiments, and, though
there may be passage here and there which may
crate somewhat harshly upon the ears Of extrem-
lists, who wont to scent abolitionism in every
northern breeze yet it cannot fail to give satisfac
tionkp every man who loves the whole Union bet
ter than he does section. 1t Is true that il s not
such would have been delivered by southerner
equally patriotic Mr. Webster, but il must be
remembered that the "great expounder" is a
northern man. having peculiar prejudices on the
subject which he has so ably discussed. II would
be unreasonable 10 suppose that any man from
either section could deliver q speech upon the ex-
citing subject of slavery at sentiment Of which
there should not be some cavil This effort is but
reiteration Of the principles laid down by Mr..
Webster in his oREAr speech in tho Senate of the
United States, March, 1850, which gave such salts
faction to the South at the time.
The Presidents tour has been falsely charged by
the opponents OF the Administration as purely one
fore relcctioneering purposes. Should no other good
result from 1t. the giving TO the country the senti
mcnts of the members Of the Cabinet upon the
question of the day, and the great strengthening
Of the bonds OF Union which those sentiments ne
cessarily will cause, will moro than compensate
Mr.. Fillmore and his advisers for the vials Of vitu-
peration and abuse which have been or may be
heapcd upon their heads.

malignant, and anti-American spirit, whose pc
culiar objects Of hatred are the American
churches and the American Government, mani
tested in the publications, and at the meetings
of the Garrison Abolitionists, never could have
had its origin here. 1t is an exotic that we
have witlessly planted and nurtured. Those
who are most virulently affected by it are not
ignorant fanatics, but men of so-called liberal
education, who pride themselves on their ele-
giant and refined tastes, and manifest them
by ignoring every thing American but to abuse
it. If we had space to do it in, we could point
some very instructive facts to prove the truth
of our assertions.
We are continually wounded in the house Of
our friend. 1t is feather plucked from our
own pinons that impels the dart that destroysus.
Our GLORIOUS fever for reading" which should
be preservation and our glory, is our disgrace
and our ruin. Terribly do the authors of Eng
land avenge themselves upon us for the wrong
we do them in robbing them Of ftheir productions.
We steal the shirt Of Nessus, which shall de-
stroy us, instead of weaving one for our COM
fort and protection. 1t is the costliest economy
that ever was practised, that of robbing Europe
of its literature; and the longer it is continued
the greater the evils will grow. There is but
one way to meet and overcome the evil, and
that is by being just to foreigners and our
selves, by passing an international copyright,
which will at least give its advantages to our
own authors that we give to foreigners, by pay
ing one as we'll as the other.

and, If his style be popular, his book Will be
seized by our publishers, and thousands and tens
of thousands will be scattered broadcast all
over the Union. English contemporary liter
ature, from the Edinburgh Recicw down to
Punch, is, without an exception, tainted with a
strong anti-American feeling. Jealousy, dis
like, contempt, or hatred Of our institutions,
runs all through it like the "queen's thread
in canvas made for the navy. 1t is impossible
that our youth, who, in nine tenths of their read
ing, see their country sneered at, its decay
foretold its institutions derided. should not i'm
bbe feeling Of distrust and dissatisfaction,
and think that, after all, the old plan and the
old country are the best.
There is no part of the Union that
has more to dread from the glorious fever
which BuI.wER speaks of, being fed by Eng
lish writers, than the South. There is
hardly an English book or periodical published
which does not contain an assault upon our
Southern States. Many of our publishers are
in the habit Of expunging such passages; but
they are usually SO mingled in the woof of the
work that they cannot be expunged.
We have watched from its commencement
that spirit of disafiection which has recently
been disgracefully developed at the North, and
we have been convinced, long since, that it had
its origin, as we know il has been fostered and
encouraged, by those popular English authors
whose works are so freely, because cheaply,
circulated all over our country. The strong,

The writer concludes that the blacks cannot

were man and wife, had been often tho subjects
OF exhortation and entrcaty, to attend upon fa-

declined, unless pressed by pcrcmptory COM

the cotton field, we asked:

Mn Enron: Allow me to occupy II very
small space, in reply to the letter OF Mr.. Phillips
which appeared in your columns, denying the
statements in my letter from Lccsvillc concern
ing himself and the Wesleyan Church Of that
place.
Mr.. Phillips saws, 1T is not true that ono OF
his brethren drove up to his door on the day of
the Convention. 1t is not true that l muttcrcd
anything. 1t is not true that turned my back
upon this brother, and went up the steps into
my house"
Well here is apretty thorough denial OF what
was stated as u matter OF fact. Here Is stated
in plain terms, that John NJ. Holmes and wife
did not call upon him. That John did not as
matter OF course ask him about putting his horse
in the stable. That hc said nothing IN reply
and that as a consequence OF Holmes never haV-
ing called upon him. he Mr.. Phillips, never
turned from him and went into the house.
