ed 1--WE believe in majorlties in a Repnb-
/ lie, J shall decide TO do, we viii not only
. acquisscs in, but uphold with all our pow
err; but we protest now, and shall always
protest against following or being led BY
South Carolina AT any TIME ANYWHERE.

Gov. Gist, avowed, in his message &c the
South Carolina Legislature the other day
that the action of that State was expected
10 foresiall the action of her sister States
and drag them, whether against their will
or not, into the movement. THIS is the
programme Of precipitation" A precious
one for us, to be sure. We desire The peO-
pie of North Corolina 10 understand these
kind of intentions OF .heir affeciionate breth-
zen, before they take any step TO twelve
themselves in difficulties and s'entaDgling
alliances" We shall do all in nur power
to .ventillate fully their plans. North Car.
olina will we believe, neither eprecipitate' /,
herself, nor allow. others TO "preoipita,e"
her into revolution. If it becomes neces-
sary she will not promptly, but esolly, de-
liberately and FOR HERSELF, and we ear
nestly hope and pray, if she does 60 out Of
the Union, she will co BY HERSELF AND
REMAIN BY HERSELF.
What evils would follow in the wake Of
this species OF secession it requires no
prophet 10 foretel. Some chivalric "Caro-
linisn" might here Contemptnously use
Kossuth's argument, and say 'war is
small word, com posed OF only three letters
War, and that 10 the end Of it," but the
reply which Kossuth received might be
made with equal propriety in this case.
viz. that "HrLL has but FOUR letters in 1t, ="
and if there is any one part Of that region
warmer than another, it is specially reser-
we'd for those who can regard without the
deepest emotion the consequences Of such
war as may follow secession. .-

FAIR TRIAL. ...- -... 1.s.
Now If this frank and honest avowal on
our. part subjects ID 10 tie serious charge Of
being either submissions" TO the North,
or a "traitor TO the South, then let il be
written down against us, yes, let it be
also ENGRAVED UPON OUR TOMBSTONE after
we shall have been hanged for OUR treason,
that we "loved not wisely but too WE'LL the

case, will be tardy and full Of reservations.

Whether North Carolina should not assert
tina. right, is question for the people TO
determine. We, for one of her citizens al
least, oppose the taking Of any such step at
present. We say let North carolina STAY
IN THE UNION! Let her no. ingloriously
abandon the Government with its immortal
trophies and world wide prestige TO The ex-
elusive possession Of the North! But if
South Carolina, or Georgia, or any other
State shall, decide upon secession. in Gods
name, and IN the name Of civil liberty and ,
State rights, let her withdraw! This is
not the hour for rash counsel, or precipi-
tate action. Moderation was never more
