John G.. SAKE. ESQ,

We copy from the last Greensborough Times, the
following admirable letter from Mr.. SAKE, in reply
to the charge preferred against him by Brownlow.
Mr.. SAKE, our citizens will bear in mind, will lec-
ture in this City on the 9th and 10th of next
To THE EDITOR OF "THE TINES"
Dear Sir Il am indebted to Southern friend
for a copy of your Journal in which find very
able and scholarly, as we'll as extremely indugent
review of my books of Poems. Appended to the
communication of your contributor is an editorial al
lusion to an injurious rumor, which, suppose had
its origin in a recent paragraph in the Knoxville
(Tenn) Wing, charging that person bearing my
na,ne "Returning from South Carolina, published
a villainous account of the sale and treatment of
slaves" or words to that effect Your comments are
not unfair; and, though no notice Of the matter
could be needed where am known deem it due
to my Southern friends and to myself to meet the
charge with a full and explicit denial.
mprinsis-I was never in South Carolina in my
life ar
End. I have never published. nor written, any
account whatever respecting the sale or treatment of
slaves in any State of the Union.
Sd. In my travels in such of the Southern States
as have had the honor to visit, have never seen
anything in the slightest degree lm?eaching the
kindness and humanity of the owners of slaves.
4th The few letters which have written from
the South have all been published in that conserva-
4. tive and hgh-toned journal, the Boston Post-a
journal into the columns of which no attack upon the
South, or Southern institutions could by any poss
bility obtain admittance, with the consent Of its ed
itors. .i-t---. =
By what accident or blunder (or have no reason
to mpute ma!ice) statement so absolutely false as
that Of the Wbig, should have gotten into print,

fed denial Of the whole story and oblige - .-E

Mr.. Higgins on the wrong Track.

Alta "Whig" lneeting-the neao Wing party
held in Onslow on the 14th instant, the following
among other resolutions was adopted: -
"Resoloed, That we do not think Gov. John W.
Ellis is of enlarged statesmanke views sufficient to
govern State. from an expression he used when
canvassing for Governor, when he remarked that he
did not think any question was SO important as that
of keeping the Democratic party together"
This resolution was reported by committee con-
sisting Of Messrs. Owen Huggns, E. W. Montfort,
and R. F. Pelletier-Mr Higgins Chairman Of the
Comtnittee, Mr.. Higgins, as we find the name in
the Wilmington Herald.
Now Mr.. Huggins has done Gov. Ellis gross in
justice Gov. Ellis maintained every where in his
last campaign as he will doubtless maintain in the
next that the great stay and hope Of the Union is
the national Democratic party; and that as the
preservation of Constitutional Union is Of para
mount Importance the unity and integrity of the
only party which can preserve the Union are of
equal Importance. Gov Ellis has never placed his
party obligations above either his State or the Unon
but he has claimed that the highest interests of
both, in his opinion, are involved in the continued
integrity and ascendency of the Democratic party.
In this opinion he has the satisfaction of knowing
that he is sustained by large majority of the pco-
pie of North Carolina.
Mr.. Higgins is to-day much more inveteratc
partizan than Gov. Ellis. The latter is not so pre-
JUDGED nor so beral as to see nothing good or
nothing commendable in the opposition organization
as it exists in this State; but venture to affirm
that Mr.. Higgins is the bitterest among the bitter
of those who oppose Democracy simply because it
is Democracy. Gov. Ellis has reasons for opposing
Know Nothingism or modern Whiggery, and he is
ready announce those reasons frankly to the people,
as he has heretofore done; but We think it more
than probable that Mr.. Higgins opposes Democracy,
as he sustained Harrison in 1910, "without why
or wherefore"

i A DEMOCRATIC PRorEsr.-The Democratic mem
bers Of the Iowa House of Representatives have
tered their protest against resolution offered in
that body to print 1900 copies of Gov. Kirkwoods
inaugural message. The message was farrago of
black Republicanism, and the protest is made be-
cause the Democratic members believe that the Gov
ernor has departed from his plain constitutional du
ty, which requires that he should deal with matters
concerning the State; and that he commits an in
trusion upon the Legislature by forcing his views
OF other questions upon them. They insist that he
has no business to make the State pay for crculat
ing partisan speech. They protest secondly, be-
cause they look upon the message as an attempt to
palliate or excuse the treason of John Brown; and
~hey 60 on to specify several other points of dssat
isfacton-all arising however, ont of the Governors
admiration for John Brownisn and malice towards
the supporters Of the Constitution The message is
one of a kind which deserved a rebuke like this 1t
is certainly an abuse of the peoples money, when
it is used to circulate documents of such kind
We call the attention of our neighbor of the Reg
aster to the foregoing facts. lie says there is no
national Democratic party; and yet in far away
Iowa, among the head springs of the Mississippi,
Democrats protest in body, they do here against
the Infamous conduct of the black Republicans

Mr.. Clingman's Speech.
The last Goldsborough Tribune says:

ave present in this number an extract from the
speech Of Mr.. Clingman, so much talked Of and so
highly approved by the South, and many of the
best and wsest men of the North. There is part
of this speech but what is truthful and instructive
but We have given as much space as we can well
spare for this service" :.
Mr.. Clingman's speech has received the highest
encomiums in all quarters Of the country. IT is one
of the ablcst speeches eve: delivered in Congress
the question Of slavery. ttt9 -
North-Carolina was never more ably represented
in the America Senate than she is now. Such men
as Clingman and Bragg would make their mark for
ability discretion and force Of character in any de-
Iberstive body in the world e ng,ss5.sf e, "

eregnv candidate in preference to the candidate of

We have heard much Of, but have never yet seen
any Union, Constitution, and law enforcing party
equal to the natioual Democratic party. Such par
ties, organized by our Opposition friends, spring up
like Jonahs gourd and wither ip night. In 1s4s
We had the noparty Taylor Union party, led by the
same John j. Crittenden who is about to save the
Union again in this year Of grace 1860; in 1852
we had the Scott-Seward no-party, Union party,
Scott until after the election; IN 1856 we had the
conservative" Fillmore, who now so deeply regrets
that he had to approve and enforce the fugitive
slave law, and who received but handful Of votes
in the non-slaveholdng States and now we suppose
we are to have new edition Of these tremendous
efforts to save the Union first the Constitution
next, and then to enforce the laws so far as the
black Republicans will permit it to be done.
We have no idea of going with our contemporary
of the Wetchman, nor do we expect him to go with
US. Like Ephraim "he is joined to his idols his

hundred Democrats assembled at Charleston from
every part of the Republic, will be better able than
we will be, or than any other Democrat willbe, to
say who is the proper and the best man to be sup
ported against the black Republicans. Even a
"squatter sovereignty" candidate would be as sound
on the question of slavery in the territories as Mr..
Fillmore is, who was supported by the Watchman
in ls56,-as sound, if not sounder for Mr. Fillmore

restriction by which Southern SHAREHOLDERS were let

in favor of the Wilmot proviso.
Let the Waterman look to it. while opposing the

aid and strengthen the black Republican party

The Union according TO the Constitution. \
We yield to no one in devotion to the Union
according to the Constitution. But we cannot go
with those in this State and elsewhere, who would
subordinate the Constitution to the Unon-who
would hug the empty and destructive forms to their
bosoms after the spirit has departed. The best
Union men in the country those ,oho insist most
earnestly and most constantly strict observance
of all the provisions and requirements of the Con-
>stitution We must guard every approach to the
citadel. If we surrender one gate and the enemy
enters, every portion of our tower of defence
will in the end be wrested from u.s. That member
of partnership who consents to one deliberate in
faction by other members of the partnership of the
articles of agreement only paves the way for sue
cession of nfractons which will sweep away, the
cupdity the passions of his partners may deter
mine, every interest which he may have in the con-
Germ. As the New Orleans Bee well says
"There is certain class of individuals who pro-
claim themselves lovers of the Union, but are inst
gated by very different motives and Intentions
They are perpetually shrieking imprecations upon
all who venture to breathe hint Of the possibility
of dissolution of the Union, and announcing their
nvincble determination, under all conceivable cir
cumstances, to resist the disnemberment of the con-
federacy. Conspicuous among these bold and blat-
ant vaporers the Black Republicans. They claim
to be par ercellence Union men. They are always
ready to declare their attachment to the Unon and
to denounce the South for what they term its trea
sonable assaults. The animating principle Of the
Black Republicans is readily discovered They would
have the Union last just so long as they can with
impunity harass and oppress the South; just so
long Southern agricultural industry ministers to
Northern rapacity; just so long as the Southern
sheep quietly suffers its wool to be plucked by the
Northern shearers This is the gst and marrow of
black Republican love of the Union. Why should
they not wish this state of things to endure forever
1t is all to their advantage. They steal our slaves
and encourage insurrection and rapine on the one
hand, while on the other they wax wealthy by the
manufacture Of Southern cotton, and by supplying
the South with ten thousand products Of the North
Of course, they are good Union men,
