A MARROW SENTIMENT REBUKED.

NdhnON hEDUhED.
The North Carolina Commercial, of Wilmington,
administers the annexed just rebuke of very
narrow objection taken by Democratic paper Of
that State in reference to Senator BADGER-an OBJ
lection which rather reflects honor upon that Sena-
tor for the broad and just conceptions of duty
entertained by him as a Senator of the United
States. Itwould be but little more absurd to OBJ
ject to President PIERCE in New Hampshire if he
should ayow himself equally as much the President
Of North Carolina as of his own native State.
FROM THE WILMINGTON COMMERCIAL"
Mr. BADaER.In article which, SO far as our judg-
ment discover, is Of the abest we read in
oil the requisites Of party which make the wrong
appear the better reason and to the deceul and
false appear in the vestments of honesty and TRUTH
the North Carolina Standard speaks Of Mr. BADGER after
giving him credit for the advocacy of the Nebraska BILL
as follows
"* Still we cannot overlook the fact that the
rights Of sovereign savehoding State could be safe
in the hands Of who, like Mr. BADGER for example,
declares that his allegiance is much due to New Hamp-
shire to North Carolina. This is question Of State
rights"
Did he say that about New Hampshire? Well, if he
did, he spoke from the impulses of AMERICAN HEART
That intelligent and pure statesman, who is of the
dsnterested patriots in the service of the State
represents and the Union that he loves this any other
country ever knew-not the amented HAYWOOD ex-
cepted-knows that his allegiance is due to the AMERI-
CONSTITUTION, and that Constitution embraces New
Hampshire as well as North Carolina.
Must we ever be imposed upon by the fummery and
fooery of party and the patriots Of the country be de-
nounced because they think points differently from
the powerin rule or the power that seeks to rule?
The intimation is thrown that the integrity Of the
institution Of slavery is not safe in the hands Of Mr. BAD
CIR, himself Shareholder and the advocate of the Ne
braska measure. Since the world was made there
exhibited such palpable contradiction in terms
such foul conclusions drawn from the ceares premises
"a question Of State rights" forsooth And when
did the Standard speak of State rights unshacked by
the chains of party?
In New Hampshire, as well as in many other of the
free States Of the true friends of Southern
rights and all the institutions acknowledged by the Fed
eral Constitution much truer than those politicians of the
South who go for party and for money and have sold
Administrations their birth.right for of pot
tage" AS to Wing and Democrat, these persons know
nothing about them ouch but they do know that
partisan editor faithfully discern the present crisis
feel the pers of the hour who knows nothing about
measures but what is derived from the to the
questiods are they Wing are they Democratic!
Tothese persons who are in every portion of the Unon
we suppose Mr. BADGER has liking as he has, we pre-
sumo, to all the recolecons of America from the
time when the natives marked the earth from their
acerated feet in their marchings to the foes of
liberty, and from their bodies they consecrated them
in dust to freedom under the sacred banners Of holy
revelation with blood transcribed in purity only by that
of the Protestant martyrs to the time when the States in
union successfully commended with the mistress Of the
and the umpire of Europel
We respect Mr. BADGER for his great talents, but we
would give him honor only because he has AMERICAN
HEART.
