And has it come to this, that county meeting
cannot be called in North Carolina looking to the
welfare of that Union under which the particpators
were born and under which they have lived without

here, that they should VOTE negroes hold office,
govern us, and do everything which native may
do, but when they attempt to lead in measures in

the great influx of foreigners into the Northern
States the country most probably would not be in
the fix it is in. They have helped to keep up the
fanatical ires at the North and have swelled Adolf

this condition Of things exists at the North we see
the same class of naturazed citizens leading on the
sectional column at the South. who are the editors
in North Carolina that have declared in favor of

have been either transplanted from the North or

az The Editor of the Charlotte Bulletin says
that we are "su6missionist." If he means thereby
to convey the impression that We are not as true to
North-C Carolina as any in it, then We say he
utters falsehood. The Editor says We ought to be
sent to the Insane Asylum. Our reply is that
some people have not sense enough to become in
sane, and the Editor of the Bulletin is one Of the
number.
The Editor of the Bulletin is South Carolinian,
who has kindly crossed the line to instruct North
Carolina what to do IN this emergency. He has oe-
longed to all parties but is trusted by none. The
County of his residence is against him. His adopt
ed State is against him. He Is now breathing trea-
son against one of the best governments the world
has ever seen. He is no drawer than other people.
He can talk and threaten, but he would fight not
whit sooner than the "submissionists "" whom he
affects to despse We can afford to incur the dis
pleasure of the Britton of the Bulletin, and the

not be deceived by appearances or the pretence of

people require the organization of Southern Con-

State secession-that the primary object Of each

While We cast no imputation on the integrity and
patriotism of Messrs Craige and Ruffin, we must
say that we deeply regret to find them in such COM
pany. The twenty eight cotton State members with
whom they associated in this address radical
disunioniss, and no doubt prefer disunion for dis
unions sake But Messrs. Craige and Ru6in will
stand or fall before their own constituents. They
have assumed an awful responsibility. 1t must be
borne in mind however, that Messrs. Bragg Branch,
Smith, Vance. Leach, and Gilmer, still entertain
hopes that the Union yet besaved. Messrs. Wins
low and Clngman most probably concur with Messrs.
Crage and Rufin though they have not signed the
address.

Brooks AND SUxNER-It may be doubted if the
country will for many years feel the last of the evils
resulting from the attack of Brooks upon Sumner in
the Senate chamber. One of those effects, of a
notable character, is stated in late Boston 7race
len, viz: that bill to repeal the Massachusetts
personal liberty bil' before the Legislature Of
that State and had passed one branch by majority
of 10 votes, when the news of Brooks assault ar
rived and produced such indignation that the bill to
repeal was rejected. But for that attack, Massa-
chusetts would have repealed the offensive and un.
constitutional law, (as she ought to have done in
spite Of IT'D and probably the other States would
have followed her example, and the country
might never have arrived at that deplorable state Of
enmity that now exists We have no doubt also,
that Lncons election is directly traceable to that
assault, for it alone made half million of Repub
cans-so friend at the North assured us last Sum
mer.-Fay. Obserrer

PERSONAL LIBERTY BnLs.-The Legislature of
Vermont rejected bill to repeal the personal
Liberty act" of that State, by vote Of 1875 to 5s.
The act was passed in l643 seven years before the
passage of the fugitive slave law in 1850, and of
without any reference to it. This decision is
deeply to be deplored and complained of; but there
are two encouraging signs connected with it. 1st,
that Is Republicans voted for the repeal, showing
that there is awakening even in that party; and
IDLY, that a committee was afterwards appointed to
inquire whether the law was constitutional with a
view to its repeal if SO, at the next session.-Fay.

also made on a motion to send commissioners to

When Mr.. McKcon concluded, Mr.. Dickinson ex-

to the vitated politics of bad politicians and q

MEETING

For The standard.
Of Constitutional Union men Of all parties at Ele-
cation Johnston County.
The meeting was organized by calling Charles j.
Bingham, Esq, to the chair, and appointing Ira T.
Woodall Secretary.
After explaining the object of the meeting in
few brief and appropriate remarks, the chair, on
motion, appointed committee of three to prepare
resolutions for the consideration of the meeting viz
Messrs. b. A. Woodall, VIM. Lassiter and John G
Woodall. The committee soon reported the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which were unan-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS 1t is expected that the Legislature of
N C. will take some position upon the great ques-
tons that are disturbing our common country, and
Whereas this government belongs to the people, and
the exigencies of the times demand that the people
of the various sections of the State should speak
out their sentiments on federal affairs to their rep
resentatives in the State Legislature, therefore,
Resolred That We, the citizens about Elevation,
do not think that sufficient exists for
dissolution of this glorious Union, and that we will
countenance no measure which tends to disunlon
or secession for existing causes
Resolred, That we deem the calling of State
Convention not only unnecessary but unwise at
this juncture, for the following reasons list 1t
would afford abundant opportunity to designing poll
tcians to mislead the people by exciting sectional
strife, and stirring up party prcudices. I'd. 1t
would incur heavy expense upon the State, and
increase the taxes of her citizens.
Resolced That it is the duty of every citizen at
this critical period, to strictly refrain from any Ian
guage that tends to excite party prejudice, and as
our sires Of re were unit in the of liberty,
so should We present an undivided 'front.' both for
the preservation of the Union and against any en-
croachments upon the reserved rights Of the States.
ResoLeed That we believe it to be the duty of our
Senators and Representatives in Congress, to use
their utmost endeavors to settle these difficulties be-
tween the two sections of our country, with eye
to the honor of the South
Resolred, That We request our Representatives in
the State Legislature to gives these resolutions
did consideration before acting upon federal rela-
|: tons.
=. On motion, the following gentlemen were appoint
ed as delegates to county convention to be held at
Smithfeld, ON the 22d inst, viz: Messrs. Abram

The President is deeply exercised and grieved at
the departure Of his old and valued friend Gen. Cass
from among the coterie Of his most intimate advisers
But he has taken stand against coercion, in which
he is sustained by the Secretaries of the Army and
Navy, and will abide the issue. Gen. Cass is pre-
pairing letter to the President in which he will ex-
plain his reasons for leaving the Cabinet ut this crit
ical period.
It is well known that Gen. Cass has had in con-
temptation for some time resgning his seat in the
Cabinet owing to difference of opinion between him
self and the President in regard to the proprety Of
sending additional force to Fort Moultrie. To-day
his resignation was accepted by the President not
however until the matter of difference had been fully
and deliberately agreed upon by all the members Of
the Cabinet with the additional counsels of that
wise, able and discreet patriot and soldier, Gen.
Scott who is now here, and who attended the Cabi-
net meeting to-day.
: The Governor Of Mississippi has appointed secre-
tary Thompson Commissioner on the part Of that
State to North Carolina. The President has given
his consent to his acting in that capacity and he will
leave at once The object of this is to get the South
ern States to cooperate together.
Judge Douglas has been preparing for some days
past an elaborate and set speech on the pending
crisis 1t is understood he will take the position
that secession war; and that it is the duty of
the government to its entire power, not only to
execute the laws and collect the revenue but to hold
the federal property at all hazards, thus coercing
the States into submission. This speech will. it is
understood, be delivered on Monday or Tuesday
next
Mrs. Anderson, wife of Major Anderson. in CON-
mand at Fort Moultre has called upon the President
within few days and demanded that he increase
the force at that place, or she will take his neglect
to do intentional and wicked sacrifice Of her
husbands life, who, she Declares will never sur.
render the place, but rather fall in its defense.
