WE'LL SAID.

= The following excellent hit was made by Mr..
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, in his speech delivered
in the House on the 4th instant, in defence of Gen.
Butler against the charge of Freesoilism
"The gentleman from Florida not only expressed
preference for President Fillmore, but thought
proper to contrast the two gentlemen, and drew a
conclusion to the disadvantage of Gen. Butler. If
he had simply uttered eulogium on Mr.. Fillmore,
he (Mr. b. would have had nothing to Say. But
frst as to the specific charges, he pronounced the
mputatIon of the gentleman wholly gratutous and
unfounded, and he held the gentleman responsible to
sustain or retract it. When he says THAI the prnci
Piles of Gen. Butler not known, it is important
Tor his own purposes, and no other.
The gentleman says that he is Wing. The Wings
should be modest on the slavery question, for they
have aboltionzed the whole body of their party. If
Fillmore and Webster had aided Butler to stop the
difficulty at the origin the deplora5le consequences
would have been avoided. The disasters of the last
Two years were fulhlment of the causes lying back
of them; and the causes and the actors should be
shown, and the country will fig the responsibility.
He then proceeded to show where Mr.. Fillmore
and Mr. Butler stood in times past, maintaining that
the last named gentleman, in the lwenly-sixth Con-
gress, occupied a sounder and more becoming posi-
ton on the question OF slavery and abolition petitions
than the former; yet the gentleman preferred Mr..
Fillmore
Mr.. Breckenridge has stated the facts truly. Mr..
Fillmore rampant Abolitionist at the very time
when such men as Butler, Cass, Buchanan, Douglas,
Marcy, and Dickinson were doing all they could to
arrest the fell spirit of anaticism; and now Southern
Wing leaders pretend regard the former sound,
though if either of the above distinguished Demo-
Gratis were in thu field for the Presidency they would
denounce him Freesoiler and the ally of Van Bu[
rem. Mr.. Fillmore would have remained what he was
AN ayowed Abolitionist-but for his accidental ele
vaton to the Presidency.
The Wings of the United States were the first to
elect to the Vice Presidency avowed Freesoiler
and Aboitionst; and they stand prepared to sup
port for the Presidency, aOho declines to say
ooAether he is in avor Of la,0 Of Congress, the
faithful enforcement Of (which depends the existence of
the Union.
1t is neither wish nor intention to aid in revi-
wing the Slavery agitation; but justice to the cause
of truth and Democracy requires that We should lay
the facts before our readers.

NEGLECT OF NORTH CAROLINA.

We copy the following severe but just remarks from
the last Wilmington Journal:
" We had expected some advantage from having
two trains day, but find, that although we have
two trains, office in North Carolina has more than
one mail Verify. and of truth, our most excellent
Post Ohce Department must think that North Ca ro-
lima IS but strip of land between two States and not
State of the Union. inhabited by free and indepen-
dent citizens, having some rights, in common with
their neighbors of Virginia and South Carolina.
There are two mails day made up TO 90 through
North Carolina, while for the outside barbarans who
reside an il and that very regular is thought
quite sufficient Talk about secession! There is not
State in the Union that has half the right to CON-
plain of the General Government that North Carolina
has. Her PrlnciP town can't get petty appropri-
alton for an hospital; while hundreds and thousands
are lavished on other places. The Bar over which
passes half the commerce of the Statecant, don't
get cent for its improvement, while every petty
har6or on the Northern Lakes can swallow up its half
million. and our vorthy Secretary of the Treasury
our beautiful abolition friend, Tom Corwin, is no
sooner seized with fit of economy, than he thinks
to pay the public debt by saving the 900 yearly
appropriation to the Charlotte Mint, while at the
time Gal phinism and Gardnerism are defrau6ing the
Treasury by the half million and now, by way of
a GROWING indignty, when double mail is started.
every place but North Carolina is to have the benefit
OF it, and she is to be excluded-passed by with
tempt-hurred over like strip of worthless rubbish.
How long our people going to stand this 2 They
may be certain. that as long they do stand it.
long will the nsu'-ppe be kept working on them
with a steady stream"

defeated upon the militia bill proposed by Lord John
Russell. The Earl of Darby (Lord Stany) will, it
is thought, succe ed Lord John Russell as Premier
A formidable combination is stated to have been
formed in Ireland against the payment of rents. The
country otherwise quiet.
France tranquil. Various of new
ministerial crisis prevailed, but supposed to be un-
founded. The President about establishing a
body guard for his protection.
The Queen of Spain had entirely recovered from
her wound
The demand for cotton had been active, and prices
had advanced one-eighth of penny per pound. The
sales of the week in Liverpool. up to the Goth Feb
ruary, amounted to $4,000 bales.
The transactions in turpentine and spirits had been
moderate, for want of stock. Fresh arrivals were
meeting with ready sales.

COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM!

The Editor of the Halifax Republican. who has
recently rePudated Whiggery and taken his stand in
the Republican ranks. makes the following strong
appeal to his old associates and join
We beseech Wing friends who belong
ed to the Republican party to come back to first prn
ciples, and go with in the approaching and all fu
tune contests, for the Democratic candidates. Come
one all, we beseech you to come. 1t is impos-
sible for you to stay where you are and be Repub-
cans. Come then, to the Republican fold. Don't
be ashamed do right. You know you are assoc-
ated with men that are Federaists, whose principles
you detest You were taught to despise Federalism
by your fathers in your days of childhood. Your
fathers fought in the days Of the Revolution. Can
you forget their solemn admonition They were
down on Federalism. And coud yon hear their voice
now they would admonish you to quit that party
whose principles have evil tendency and join the
Republican-tha party 10 which they were attached
and whose princ piles have shed so much peace and
Joy over the land from the establishment of free
institutions, up to this time"
The Editor of the Republican speaks from erperi-
cnce. He knoacs what he says to be true, and We
trust his appeal may have good effect.
