North Carolina Politics.


We extract the following from the letter of esteem
ed correspondent in North Carolina
Political excitement in this State has run pretty
high though not evinced by meetings any other
of the usual public demonstrations
1t is we'll understood throughout the State that
the American party will have no candidate of their par
ty in the field for Governor but it is not known who
they will support. Mr.. D. K. McRae and Mr.. A. w .
Venabe are both mentioned-they being what are called
in North Carolina Distribution Democrats.
The State Democratic Convention will assemble at
Charlotte next Wednesday to nominate a Democratic
candidate and the contest narrowed down to Hon.
John W. Ellis and W. W. Holden, ESQ., The friends
of both these gentlemen will urge their names strenuous
~, and no tell whom the choice of the con-
vention will concentrate. It is very certain however
that harmony and fraternity will prevail and no matter
who nominated he will receive the cordial support of
the entire Democratic party in the State and there
be no question as to the result
Kansas bill passes the House Of Representatives, COL
Biggs one of Senators, will be appointed Judge of
the Federal Court, Vice Judge Potter, deceased, and
Mr. Cllngman will then be appointed to fill the seat in
the Senate vacated by COL Biggs.
Mr. John A Gilmer, the only Known othing Re
preventative from this State occupies quite an unenya-
BILE position and one which the people of North Carolina
will not forget. Mr.. Gmer asked the people for their
votes for Governor of the State two years ago and was
beaten If he would try the same thing again this
he will be very apt to find that he is no whar Better
things were expected of Mr.. Gmer but he has gotten
with Winter Davis and Humphrey Marshall, and now
good bye to him.

ed for this purpose let it be kept an ungazed earhen

The Six SepOys.

The second defeat of the Bill for the admission of
Kansas determines the fate of the measure Instead of
indulgng unavaing regrets the people of the South
will prepare to execute justice upon those who have be-
trayed their interests.
Despite the special pleading of the Southern Sepoys
there is difficulty in fixing the guilt the RESPONSE
BILE parties Undoubtedly, if every Northern Democrat
had supported the policy of the administration the Kan
bill would have passed the House of Representatives
But, with what justice complain of the conduct
Of these men, when they only initiate the example of
Southern Representatives?
It bad faith in the followers of Douglas to tut
rupt their political associations and cooperate with
Black Republicans in enterprise against the admin
istratOn and the Democratic party. This much, how
ever may be offered in extenuation of their reachery
they at least true to the interests and rrudces of
their section. Not so with the Southern Sepoys.-
These gentlemen have Of principle sectional
bias to urge in justification of their criminal course
They did violence both to their personal convictions and
to the interests of the South and their detection is
ceptibe of explanation only upon the hypothesis of
purely selfish motive
In this view the treachery of the Southern Sepoys will
provoke hiss of cOntemptuous Indignation from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande The decision of the issue
under the control of these six Adventures If they
had yielded to the pressure of their associates OF
whom majority supported the bill for the admission of
Kansas-f they had hearkened to the importunate de-
mands OF their constituency to say nothing OF the sug-
gestions of patriotism, to which may well suppose
them insensibe-if the six Sepoys had thrown their
votes on the side of the South instead of in the Black
Republican scale, the controversy would have been ad
usted and the equality of the slave States established
upon impregnabe basis Though false to their coun-
try, they were true to the engagements Of ambition.
If weak in the promptngs to virtuous endeavor they
strong in the magnity Of implacabe partizan
ship They deliberately resolved to sacrifice the South
to the qualification of vindctive temper and the ag-
grandzement Of their personal fortunes and they adj
hered to their purpose with tenacity which repealed
every appeal Of patriotism.
The admission of Kansas defeated by the treach-
cry of the Southern Sepoys Thus the adjustment of
the controversy is postponed to indefinite period
The rage of sectional agitation is nfamed afresh Kan
repulsed from the Union, the principle of nonn-
terventon violated and all the advantages which the
South anticipated from the repeal of the Missouri
strction sacrificed beyond the chance of redemption
This is the work of the Southern Sepoys.
