TERMS OF ADVERTTsTNG.
For the journal.

The Editor of the Herald reviews Cape Fear in tone
bordering on the personal mode of warfare entirely
foreign to my nature. He also INDUCES in the classics
and spouts latin Mr.. Badger in his great speech at
Wilmington, especially cautioned his audience against
those who addressed them in anything but plain En-
glish; for, said he they either have bad cause,
trying to deceive the people, If this rule applies to Ed
tOrs shall, upon the authority of Mr.. Badger, look
upon that kind of thing in print, with at least an eye
of fsuspicion.
MiDgling freely with my fellow citizens, it has been
with pain that have heard expressions emanating from
Southern men, with Southern education very derogatoy
to the character and independence of our Statetakng
them and very probably of the editorials of the
Herald as their model, some young men just verging
from boyhood, in their anxiety to vent their spleen
upon South Carolina, forget the injury they may aict
on their State.
And why should South Carolina meet with such un-
merited abuse Are not interests identical? Are
we not in the same boat and together must sink or
swim Has not South Carolina by formal act of her e
gsature invited be cooperation of the Southern States?
What notice has North Carolina taken of this invita-
ton Did not Virginia in formal manner, tell her
that the surest way to arrive at concurrent action
by seperate State action?" Has not the cooper
alton party of South Carolina been in the ascendancy
until now, cooperation with them has ceased to be
virtue.
The response to these questions by the opponents of
secession, would involve them in the unpleasant dilemma
of leaving the Union, not wisely but too wel-of pre-
ferrng aggression ease comfort to the assertion and
maintenance of their rights.
Is it " arrogance contempt" of North Carolina,
that induced Gov Gst to recommend the prohibition of
the introduction of certain property from those States
which may refuse to become members of the Southern
Contederacy? The answer is given in the columns of
the Herald, and the very clause in the message copied
to prove that there difference between the poll
cy of South Carolina " and the "policy of the Black
Republicans" establishes the contrary for any South
ern State that will unite their destiny with her and
become stars in the Southern galaxy will be received
with open and. an enthusiastic greeting" The
prohibition in itself would be wise maxim, and the
Governor in this respect, has shown himself statesman
worthy to be guided by the experience of the past.
But my object, land l the pronoun singular, to
give the Editor of the Herald no cause for caviD in
scrbbling was, and is now, simply to invite the at
tenon of those who IN their zeal for the Union so
Willingly forgetfuly dsparage the State of North
Carolina, and succeed, the object will have been
compished 1 will have scrbbled to purpose,
and shall feel without boasting of brains, patr
otism' that in an humble way have done the State
some service. CAPE FEAR.

Public Meeting Brunswick County.
Pursuant to notice. the citizens of Brunswick County
irrespective of party held a large and enthusiastic
meeting at the Court House in Smithve, on Monday
evening, December 3d. 1860 for the purpose of express
sing their sentiments in regard to the existing political
crisis
The meeting was organized by calling Capt. Samuel
B. Price to the chair, and W. Hankins and R. w.
Woodsde were requested to act as Secretaries.
The Chairman appointed committee of five to draft
resolutions for the action of the meeting, viz John
Mercer, j. W. Galloway, Jesse Lancaster, Henry @.
Leonard, and Swift Galloway.
During the absence of the committee John w. Ellis,
Esq, of Columbus, after being introduced to the meet
ing, addressed them in speech of length display
ing in able and convincing manner the safety and
necessity of separation from those States whose anat
ca doctrines have rendered them unfit for assoca
tion, and dangerous to our liberties.
Calls were afterwards made upon julius Wright
ESQ.,, of N. Hanover, and Swift Galloway, ESQ.,, of
Brunswick, who responded in eloquent and patriotic
speeches.
The Committee then reported through their Chair
man. the following resolutions, which were adopted with
out dissenting voice:
| Resolved, That the elevation to power of party
whose whole has been marked by gross dsre-
gard of the sacred rights guaranteed to by the Con-
stuton, justly calls forth the indignation of every ct-
of the Southern section of this Union who las one
feeling OF respectfor her institutions and rights
Resolved That party which has openly and solemn
y avowed undying hostility to Institutions whose
ostensble purpose is to deprive us of our position as
equals in this government and by whose doctrines and
authority those Of Abraham Lincoln in particularly so
many deeds Of cruelty and boodShed have been perpe
trated against quiet and aw-abding citizens Of the
South merely the account of the exercise of their
constitutional rights, cannot reasonably be supposed to
lessen those abuses and insults by this qualification
of their lust for power.
Resolved, That would gladly assist in chershng
and sustaining Union bafowed by So many pride in
spring herages and recoIections if could
bly, believe that former brotherhood could be per-
manenty restored; but Union in name, and not in
principle and feeling, is unworthy of preservation
ResOtUed, That as people not unapreciatve of our
brthrghts, liberty and independence willing to
hazard ell in their defense and that whenever
State shall determine to exercise the acknowledged
rights of withdrawal of her delegated powers from the
General Government she shall have cordial aid and
support.
On motion, the proceedings of the meeting were or
dered to be to each of Representatives in the
Legislature, and to the Raleigh State Journal and
Raleigh Register, and Wilmington Journal, with re-
quest to publish.
On motion, the meeting then ad dourned.
