TIE Resolutions AND FEEE NEGKoES.-Sincc our
las. ISSUE we have thought more seriously relative
to the resolutions introduced into the Legislature
BY Col. Humphrey, and we not certain that
took the right position in the few observations
made Nor inclined to the opinion that we
could assume now position that would either salts
fy our readers, please ourscf or meet the cxigency
of the The resolutions, are at least salts
fled, need some observation-disclosures modification and
also provisional clause. That nlnetenths of the
free negroes are moral curse to any community, is
fact which any observing person will acknowledge,
and that something ola positive and stringent char
actcr Is necessary to be- DONE will can de-
ny, but what that something is, ah! there is the
rub" and for ourscf we not devise any plan
more satisfactory, which will better meet the
stern and pressing necessities OF the times than the
series OF resolutions already before the Legislature
We think though, that some provisions should bc
made for the removal of the negroesor that portion
OF them who prefer to be colonzed rather than to go
into voluntary servtude. To throw the improyidcnt
wretches solely upon their own means of removal
would be to command impossibility, or rather
would be restricting them virtually but one course
would be tantamount to forcing them into slavery
whether willing not Whether the Humphrey
resolutions pass Or not, we hope some measures will
be adopted to relieve, i'll some degree the crying

FOREIGN Policy OF THE UNITED STArEs-We
regret greatly inability to spread entire before
the Stars readers the important documents accom-
panying the Presidents message of the day before
yesterday because they involve the most triumphant
vindication of President Buchanan's foreign policy
conceivable; showing that he has carried out to the
letter, the heightened view of American national
rights and duties in connection with the affairs of the
American Continent, he was well known to have en-
tertaned ere being elevated to the presidency; and
also that he has super-induced from England and
Spain plain Acknowledgements not only Of the pro-
priety and justice Of that policy but distinct declara
tons that those governments entertain no purpose
whatever of interfering to prevent the consumma-
ton of that policy Wash. Star.

We are indebted to D. w. Courts, Esq, Treasu-
rer of the State for copy of his report of the f.
nances of the State made to the Legislature now in
session. We have not had time to examine it yet
but shall endeavor to do so.
We are not given much to putting, and we do not
deviate from our usual practice when we say that
there is no officer in the State who is more deserv
eddy popular than Treasurer Courts nor do we think
that there is any State the finances of which are
managed with more prudence than those of North
Carolina, so far Mr. Courts is concerned-Wil-

SPEECH OF JOHN L. GILMoRE.-We publish in
another column, from the Raleigh Stanouru, the ex-
cellent speech of the Senator from Cumberland and
Harnett delivered in the State Senate, upon the
coaltields Railroad bill. The material furnished in
the subject TOR a mastery and uncommon effort had
just measure of appreciation at the hands of our
representative, and although attended by no practi
Cal result favorable to the project demonstrated that
argument and power were not wanting as its auxil-
larieS.
With such graphic and forcible presentation as
Is set forth in this speech, the Legislature was at
least made sensible of the peculiar merits of the
Railroad Bill and its title to their bounty and if dis
regarded in the end, must so fail from influence

tates of wisdom.-hayettepitLe Curotiniun.

The hustle and agitation which peryade H.
