long article from Mr. Robinson i'll rela-
ton to Els recent difficulty with Mr.
Dortch, which can b. seen on appli:a
ton at this Office. 1t is to3 long for
insertion in our peper, all | we adopt the
following sentiments on the subject from
the Wilmington Journal:
So far as our relations with both the
gentlemen concerned have gone, they
have been and arc those Of friendship,
personally and politically, AMI our feel
ings would prompt US to 60 cons'l' rablo
lengths to allay unpleasantaess or pro-
mote better state Of things while they
impcratiyely forbid US to still farther
widen the breach between them and
their respective friends, many Of waom
are also our friends, by giving the aid
Of our circulation to the disse m!natiou of
mutual elimination and recriminations.

an appropriate manner on the 4th inst.
A Concord paper of the 9TH, states as
follows:
Yesterday, in response to the Commit
tee and their address, the President
said, that it WAS lamentable to admit,
that when at peace with foreign powers,
there should be Il sectional strif, in the
land, threat ming to disturb the Union;
aud he wished to see passion and prcju-
dice give way to calm Judgment and
patriotism. He conjured his friends to
remember the obligations resting upon
them and said to them, "You at least
will reject any false idol, and sectional
prejudice, and unerrlngly adhere to the
sublime creed of our Union, our consti-
tuition and God.
