North Carolina.

In his Annual Message to the North Carolina
Legislature, Gov. Ellis thus sensiLly expresses
himself in regard to the effect Of the action of that
State other slave States in any measures she
may adopt bearing on federal relations:
In view of the pcrilous condition of the coun-
try, it is, in my opinion, becoming and proper
that we SHOULD have some consultation with those
States identified with us in interest and in the
wrongs we have suffered; and especially those ~
ing Immediately adjacent to us. As any action
of ours would, Of necessity, materially affect them
it would he consistent with the amicnble relations
that have ever existed between u.s. to invite them
to Il consultation upon question that SO deeply
affects us all.
In thus proceeding we would show to the world
disposition to exhaust every pcaccablc remedy
for the solution Of our difficulties, and firm de-
termination to maintain our rights. lin the Union
if possible, and out of it if necessary!
Such n step, too, would he lut II becoming
mark of respect to that considerable portion OF
the people of the non-slaveholding States. who
have on many occasions CALAMITY struggled to
secure our constitutional rights.
O. therefore respectfully recommend that you
invite the Southern States to u Conference, or
such of them as may be inclined to enter into
consultation with us upon the present condition
of the country. Should such Conference be
found improbable, then | would recommend the
schulIS Vi ohc OF more uccghtes 10 our helghDOr-
ing States, with the view of securing concert Of
action.
Il also think that the public safety requires Il
recurrence to our own people for an expression Of
their opinion. The will Of the people once ex-
pressed, will be law of action with all, and Sc
cure that unonimity SO necessary in an emergency
like the present.
~ therefore recommend that Convention Of
the people of the State he called, to assemble i'm
mediatcly after the proposed consultation with
other Southern States shall have terminated"

BsgA We cannot conceive Of any thing

ment that everybody in that neighborhood
is wheeling into line for Disunion"-
when the truth is the aforesaid patriotic
individual is speaking only for himself,
and not truly for himself, perhaps, in his

treat the subject of breaking up the gov
eminent as though it were sort of holt

sound Of music, and all manner of ioy-

How many who are SO blatant and noisy
in the advocacy of Secession, are looking
at the chances, the inevitable rocks and

Letter from Gov. Letcher.

Ricimond, "a, Nov. 2l.-The Rich
mond Enquirer, of this morning publish
es an important letter from Gov. Lctcher,
of Virginia, in reply 10 John s. Brisbin,
of Pennsylvania, who had previously
written to the Governor, rdiculing the
idea of secession, and stating that two
hundred Nirginians had rendered him
their command in the event of disunion.
&c. The Governor, in his reply to Mr..
Brisbin, administers severe rebulle to
Northern notification, and shows that
the dereliction on the part of the North
is the Prime cause of our present troubles.
He advises the Northern people to cor

charge their Constitutional obligations
He also indicates, in this letter, a deter.

From Memphis.

y Memphis Eaq,dr,r, tho leading
Bell-Everett paper of West Tennessee in
rnc late contest, says Of the proposition
for an extra session of tho Legislature:
THE Legislature might be assembled,
a convention Of the people called, and the
sense of such convention ascertained, all
in four weeks, preparatory to participa-
ton in general Convention of the whole
South. Even this general Convention
may easily be held before next March
and should it assemble between this date
and that, more exact expression of the
peoples will would no doubt he had than
ever before in the South. The people
are ms well acquainted with the subject as
the most untiring editor or stumper and
as to their judgment it is always sound
and reliable. If decided majority OF
the people of the Southern States declare
for a southern Confederacy, then a South
crn Coniederacy is to be established at
all hazards. The cobwebs of law and the
technicalities of statutes, would not offer
TO such an enterprise under such auspices
the least eiiectual opposition. Codes and
authorities would disappear like morning
mists before the sweeping thunder-blast,
and it is to be hoped that the political
storm would leave as much serenity be-
hind it as the natural.

The Knoxville Wing ON the Crisis

The Knoxville Wing makes the follow
ing suggestions in regard to the PROPOSE
ton for Southern Conference:
But it might be- that this Southern
Conference would resolve upon going out
of the Union, and what would we Union
men Of the conservative States do? Go
with them, and 20 together, at once and
at the same time, although we deny the
right of secession. Let the several State
Legislatures enact n law TO elect q Dele
gate from each Congressional District, and
two for the State at large, and throw
around their election such guards as to
prevent any sort of fraud. Let there be
no excited meetings called to appoint
Delegates, controlled by few leading
partizans, but let the People select their
Delegates through the ballot-box, after a
full consideration of the whole matter:
and if majority Of the Peoples repre-
sentativcs say 90 out, let us all 20 togeth-
CT, and in quiet. But if q majority shall
say stay IN tie Union, and contend tor your
rights mder Tie FtRral Constitution we must
require the minority to submit. We
would be willing, and so ought every citi-
zen of the South, to take the vote of the
fifteen Slave States directly, and to 90 ont
or Stly IN, as n majority might declare
through the ballot-boX, but we do protest
against the manner of being forced into
secession by the few, and that few headed.
and urged on, 10y set of designing men,
and disappointed politicians, who really
deserve to be hung.

Suggestion of a Black Republican
PAPER,

The albany Journal talks in this wise
about the Fugitive Slave Law. We
quote:
With a mutual desire to harmonize diff
ferences, let us suppose that in the place
of vindictive Fugitive Slave lava law
repugnant to manhood and honor one
should be enacted which arms the FEEDER
al authorities with all needful power for
its execution, together with provision
making Counties where Fugitives are
rescued by violence, from officers who
have them in charge, liable for the value
Of the slaves so rescued.
And in regard to the other vcxed ques.
ton, viz, the right of going into the Ter
ritories with slaves, why not restore the
Missouri Compromise line? That secured
to the South all Territory adopted, by
soil and climate, to its peculiar insttu-
ton"

Nov. 20:
"You can rest assured we are Union
men, every inch And we also think that
if the South, or Cotton States, would take
things more quietly, more could be ac-
complished. The South has thousands
of good and true conservative friends in
the North, who battled nobly for the in
terests and rights of their Southern breth-
rem, and who should not now be deserted.

her position today, in stemming the rail-
splitting current of fanaticsm. The con-

Der two to one over the Republicans. Yet

We only hope that the Cotton States
will wait and take a sober second thought,

their friends in the North, and battle in
the Union, not out of it,"
