az The Washington Union makes the following
strong and just remarks in relation to the duty i'm
posed on every true Democrat of standing by the
President in the present crisis:
- If there should be a single democrat to
yer, suspicion of infidety to the party must neces
sarily arise The battle will be fierce but it will not
be lost. The democratic party must be preserved!
If patriotic services deserve reward at the hands
of the people when displayed on the field of battle
they no less deserve when displayed in civil life
And equally true is it that the people always frown
upon treason and cowardice. Who is true friend to
the administration that hesitate to give his warm
and cordial support to a measure which like that
ferred to- promises much good to the country p
Who has more personal and political reputation at
stake than he who leads and heads the democratic
my? Let his patriotism and courage animate the
true democracy in Congress- and all will be wel!-
He, at least, will stand by the constitution and the
Union and if by treasonabls hands they should be
sacrificed he will 60 down with them, their last and
unfnching supporter. But we have no fear of any
such result. With no aim but duty before him, he
must be victorious the principles which he repre-
sents must inevitably triumph; and the victory will
shed lustre his name in history while those who
desert him, and aba-don their party, can have no
claim that honor and gratitude to which the true
patriot is always justly entitled Sworn to support
the constitution and preserve The laws he admits no
conclusions not clearly and unquestionably legal
and to follow him, therefore, at this crisis is on
ly to follow in the pathway of the law and the
sffntion

To THE PEOPLE OF WARREN CouNTY.-Haying

trouble you, have determined not to be candidate

person to I'll my place. ss--
In making this announcement cannot permit the
occasion to pass without returning my warm and
grateful Acknowledgements to the people Of the coun-
ty, for the marks Of their favor and confidence with
which l have been honored. They have thought
proper to make their representative three times
in the House of Commons, and twice in the Senate,

of political preferment, which have asked at their
hands, Ishall always remember with deep sense iof
gratitude these evidences Of the esteem of my county.

Increase of the Army.

The Senate has been engaged for some days in
considering proposition to increase the army of the
United States, mainly on account of the Mormon
difficulties.
On Thursday last Mr.. Biggs. of this State ad.
dressed the Senate on the subject. His remarks, as
We find them reported in the Congressional Globe,
shall appear in our next
On the same day quite a pungent and interesting
debate took place between Mr. Iverson, of Georgia,
and Gov. Johnston, of Tennessee the latter advoca-
ting the calling out of volunteers for the emergency
instead of enlisting regular troops. Gov j. had ad-
dressed the Senate few days before On the same
subject.
The Senate had taken no final action on the ques-
ton.
The laws of the United States must be enforced,
and the inhabitants the frontiers must be protec-
ted against Indian incursions; but we confess we
do not like to see the regular army increased

Let us have the Letters I!


Some two or three months since William +. Dan
cy, Esq, Of the County of Edgecombe, propounded
by letter certain questions to Duncan K. McRae,
ESQ.,, and certain questions to other public men,
Among others, the Senior Editor of this paper was
Intercepted, and he replied supposng from the let
ter he had received from Mr. Dancy, that the cores
pondence would be published. Mr.. McRaes reply
was published, but the replies from other persons
have not been published .... ... ---.
How and why is this? Why was Mr. McRae in
terrogated upon but two points and others upon SIX
or seven points? And why was Mr.. McRaes letter
given to the public and the letters from the others
to Mr.. Dancy withheld?
We do not believe that Mr.. Dancy is " distribu-
ZIONIST" or that he would do any thing calculated or
intended to advance the objects of a disorganizer
like Mr. McRae but he is a warm personal friend OF
the latter gentleman, and we can, therefore, very
readily conceive that he propoundcd these questions
to Mr. McRae and others, not only because he de-
sired information himself as to their views, but to
crafty the wishes of his personal friend. We say
that taking all the circumstances into consideration,
we can very readily conceive this, but we do not
know it to be
Under these circumstances, we think we have a
right, and that it is duty respectfully to call up
on Mr. Dancy for the publication of all the letters.
So far as We concerned, while did not ask nor
expect to be Intercepted, have not the slightest
objection to the publication of our reply.

We are informed that the Wilmington and Man.
chester Rail Road refuse to take North Carolina mon
ey, except in payment Of the fare of person Offering
it; but that South Carolina money is readily taken
for any dues. What does this mean? We should
like to have the matter explained by those who un-
derstand how it is. The fact that our Banks have
Temporarily suspended. might justify this discrim.
inaton, if the South Carolina Banks were not in the
same condition - Wilmington Herald.
We learn also that the owners Of the steamers be.
tween Norfolk and Baltimore will not take North Car
DINA money even in payment of fare.
The Herald asks the meaning of this. One fact
may throw some light on the subject. 1t is this -
South Carolina exports to foreign countries about
twelve millions of dollars worth of products Virgin
ia some four or five millions, and North Carolina
about four five hundred thousand dollars worth.
North Carolina does not export for herself but the
two States mentioned export for her. They have
the basis which all sound banking is conducted,
to wit gold and silver; they have exchange, which
Banks have not; and hence their notes are bet
ter than ours .,...: -

GoSsraot RencheS.sf

Governor RencheIeM
We have received the Santa Fe Geeetesof the 18th
December. containing the 6fst message of Governor
Rencher to the Legislature Of New Mexico THIS
document like every thing which emanates from
Gov. Rencher's pen, is characterized by clesrness
and ability; and the suggestions and recommends
tons made therein appear to be well suited to the
condition Of the people of the Territory. The Gov
ernor presents in few words the correct idea Of
our federal form of government and then proceeds
to consider the vast undeveloped resources Of the.
Territory, and to suggest the best means for bring
ing out these resources. We pleased also to OBJ
that he refers to the importance of public in
struction and recommends common schools for the
masses. On this subject he says: But should do
great injustice this interesting occasion if failed
to bring your favorable notice the great cause of
education. Not simply the education Of the rich,
by the endowment of colleges but the education of
the masses by common schools. In government
like ours, depending essentially, as it does, upon
public opinion, it is all important that public opn
ion should be enlightened. Public schools, there
FORE for the education of those who are not able to
educate themselves, ought to be the first duty Of
every statesman and patriot While it is the best
means of promoting every other improvement in the
State It is the only sure means Of preserving our
free institutions, and os transmitting them unim-
paired to posterity." These are noble and en-
lightened sentiments, every way worthy Of the man
and of the State of which he is native.
A correspondent of the Washington Union writes
as follows from Sante Fe:
"Gov. Rencher seems so far to give entire salts.
faction to all parties. Indeed that must be an un-
reasonable people whom he will not please, for no
bier old Roman l never knew. His message is an
excellent document and shows full appreciation Of
the necessities and capacities Of the Territory.
fear there is little likelihood of its recommendation
in regard to raising a revenue being effected Like
all communities as this is, taxation is bugbear
which affrights all who contemplate it. In private,
members Of all parties admit its necessity, yet they
have mental determination not to attempt it them
selves, however glad they would be to see their op-
ponents undertake it. No party has ever had the
moral courage to attempt it, and the territorial bonds
though ridiculously small amount, are not worth
80 per cent. And, ad ualorem assessment of one
mill on the dollar would extinguish them, and estab
lish the credit of the Territory.
Speaking of the governor reminds me that he is
ably seconded by his accomplished and amiable wife.
Polished yet unassuming and charming in CONVEX
sation she at conciliaes the good will of the
most intractabe."

the defensive by assailing the organization of the

the real offender the Democratic party being merely
on the defensive against his attacks. Secondly,
what he thinks of James Buchanan, Judge Douglas,
and the Lecompton Constitution.
Also, how much the people of North Carolina pay
