of a Wilmingtonian. The names of HARNETT, AsHE.
WILLIAMS and others, are inscribed upon the hearts
of true patriots of this Old North State :; and the
memory of such men will ever be cherished, and no
true son of soil will prove recreant to the
principles felt in their souls and instled by them
during struggle for independence in the souls of
their feIlow-citizens. No trembling of alarm, and
no apparent danger may be near but yet, it would
not be considered unwise to act up to the old adage:
in time of peace prepare for war" The howlings
of fanatics and other beigerent attitudes pretended
to be assumed by foreign nations, pass off like sheet

nevertheless it would not be unwise to assume an
attitude of defence for selfprotecon. Our citizens
