FIRST BLOOD SHED FOR LIBERTY IN THE Rpv-
o~LuTIoN Wharf.-The first blood shed in
defence of liberty and in opposing English
oppression, was in the South. The State of
North Carolina-the 'sold North State and
Twin sister OF South Carolina-is entitled to
the honor. 1t was during the gubernatorial
administration of the notorious Governor Try
on, the English Governor at the time. who
built one OF the most splendid palaces in eth
er North or South America, at Newbern. N.
=, with the proceeds of tdres imposed upon
the people Tor the purpose, and to resist which
taxation a portion of them rebelled, lust as
qid the men OF Massachusetts, afterwards
IL TOOK place In the year 1771, and is nara
ted by MIR. Wheeler in his History of North
Carolina. On the 10th ofMay, in that wear
a battle was fought between the American
and British forces, on the Banks of the Ala
nance river, in which is known now as the
county OF that name, called the Battle of 1Ln-
nance. The American forces were called the
regulators, from their efforts in endeayorino
10 orlng about an equitable regulation of
taxes and other oppressive matters. The
American forces amounted to two thousand
and were headed by three men named Hus-
bands, Hunter, and Butler while the British
forces, including militia called out by Tryon-
amounted to upwards of eleven hundred. but
had the advantage greatly in arms and dis
cipline. As might have been expected. the
Americans were defeated, after an action of
two hours, with a loss of twenty dead and
several wounded, while that of the royalf forces
in killed, wounded and missing, were sixty
one. Mr.. Wheeler says:
Thus ended the battle of Alamance. Thus
and here was the first blood spilled in these
United States, in resistance to exactions of
English rulers and expressions by the English
government. THE great Wolf Of South Gar
DINA showed his bloodthirsty temper by
acts OF revenge, cruelty, and barbarity. He
hung Captain lew the next day, without tri-
al, on a tree
1t was in this case, as Byron truly says in
one of his poems
For freedoms battle once begun.
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though sometimes lost, is ever won.'
Thus We see that it was at the battle of
Alamance, and not at Bunker Hill, that the
first American blood was shed in the cause
Of liberty. Honor to whom honor is due

from tue wellsburg Herald, OF yestcr.lay.l
Baltimore, six months ago, was too
warm to hold a small Convention of Re-
PubIlcans met to deliberate peaceably us
to their political interests and prospects.
and the members were turned neck and
heels out of the hall in which their delib-
erttions were being held: now. inthc short
space of few mouths, we see large bodies
of men recording their names for Lincoln
and Hamlin and the petty handful be-
come controlling interest in the city
Soft was in. Wheeling, though not perhaps
with the same startling distiuctnesss. So
1t is i'll st. Lonis, so it will be in Orleans,
in Louisville, in every Southern city.
where the SAME means nre used to reprcss
public opinion, or TO divert it from the
channel which it sees fit to make for itself.
/ 1t may be, that the rapid increase ofthc
Republican party will not be practically
taY0llablc for any political purpose this
campaign, though it is even now feared
that the detection from the Bell and Everett
ranks in Mnryland mhy cventuatc in giving
that State to Breckinridge aud Lane, bnt
,insthr next Presidential campaign. if not
sooner, the Republican element will make
itself felt in the Southern States. Sup
posing that its growth continues uninter-
rupted, in four years, it will be one of the
principal pnrties in some Of the border
States, so that in 1864 we will not have
''nnited South" aud IL s.unitcd North" as
now, but the contest for President will
approximate the ancient models, and be
conducted on a footing of more nntionali-
ty than the present.
Fusion is working out its legitimate re-
sult-which is confusion to whoever un-
dertakcs it. The Republican party has
nothing tt. fear from it, Confiding in the
nationality of their principles they have no
compromises to ask or to make; and rely
ing upon the honesty and intelligence Of
the American people, they are not afraid
totsubmit the issue to them, nor unwilling
TO abide their decision penceably, he it for
or r"gainst them. In this respect the Re-
publican party stands in crcditablc con-
trast with all its opponents 1t asks no
concessions, it makes no pcotfcrs, but
stands on its own integrity 1T makes no
threats, nor does itheed them, for conscious
of its strength, it dcspiscs threats; there is
inEthis party an unity, concentration of
force, an immcnsity of numbers, might
of moral force that has in it something of
the sublimity Of un ocean wave sweeping
from continent to continent aud ovcrtop-
ping and swallowing up all distractions,
us the waves of sea- do the straws that
MANS puny hand puts in its way.
