We insert the communication of Lower Black River
with pleasure. Where all did WELL it would be wrong
to make distinctions In referring hastily to two or
three districts only cited them specimens, not at
all to the exclusion Of any others. TO give full list of
all the districts of our county that did well, would be
simply to enumerate all in the county. None did better
than Lower Black River.

R~ The Legislature of North Carolina will meet at
Raleigh on Monday next. The New York Herald with
its laundering mendacity, published telegraph from
Raleigh announcing fact the preposterous non
sense that the Governor was about to call an extra
session of the Legislature, in the face of its regular
sion coming before his proclamation for an extra one
could reach the members and be responded to
What recommendations the Governor may make on
the subject of federal relations remains to be SEEN We
look for brief and pointed statement of the case We
would rather short session than not We reterate
our previously expressed objection to big talking. The
Phistines be upon us,-shal we babbIe in our sleep,
and sleep on or shall we arise and burst assunder the
cords with which they would bind us or shall we wait
until shorn OF strength be delivered over mock
cry and bye-word for our foes?

RS~, The NeCbern Progress complains that injustice
has been done it in the matter of the Douglas electoral
ticket We conscious of disposition to do in
justice to anybody to njure anybody, do we con-
slider ourselves amenabe to the charge which the Pro
greS prefers against u.s. of having made ungener-
GUS use " of the tickets forwarded to us. We must
still think that the ticket without the of the Pres
ident and Vice President was cacuated--we do not
say designed-but certainly calculated to misead. OF
course the tickets were legal doubt Of that We
no other ticket that we recolect stated to have
come from the Progress office, but the to which
we made reference This reference was made not for
the purpose of inurng the Progress anybody else,
but for the purpose of putting political friends
their guard The Progress says it did print other
tickets to order of gentleman in Newbern whose
der it filled just it would have printed handbi Of
fering for sale moasses, salt or guano
But in truth, we ansende that we the Pro-
gres as we do not remember having made any charge
against it, Our friend who sent US the ticket stated
that it printed at the Progress Office, which is not
denied. However, we have as an act of courtesy Civ
the version of the Progress and OF feel bound
to accept conclusive its reputation OF any design to
mislead, however We may think that the tickets as
printed were GicuLdted to do so.

Why =?

With no prestige OF high ability to recommend him.
with record OF important services in the Legislative
halls OF his country-wth achievement Oh the battle
held-hls name linked with no great measure-no for
ward movement, no scientific discovery, Abraham Lin
coin is the President elect of the United States, and
why? Simply because he is put forth at this time as
the representative Of the Northern sentiment of hostility
to the South and to her institutions Abraham Lin
coin by himself is nobody-the Rubicon was very
small stream Yet the election Of Lincoln being test,
and that test deciding virtually that hereafter one
ton is to rule and the other to submit the measure of
Importance to be attached to it cannot be well over
estimated.
Hereafter it is declared this Federal agency OF ours
Is to be an antisavery government in policy and in
principle and this policy and principle is to be perma-
nent.
This decision is not party triumph Tot a
mere transient Victoy-not casualty. 1t is the
elimination of a movement which has been gaining
strength for years. 1t is the expression of the settled
purpose of the vast majority of the Northern people,
is shown by the immense and almost fabulous maorities
'given to Lincoln in nearly every Northern State.
1t is not because we have been defeated election
that we feel differently now from what did at any
former time This is not the first time that the Demo
cratic party has been defeated in any event could
we have expected it to be the last To those who care
for Offices who live upon patronage the mere success
of party might be thing of overshadowlng impor-
lance TO US, the principle underlying the whole mat
er-the fact made manifest by the failure success of
that principle are matters of far important con-
sderaion. We feel that the step-the great step has
been taken which must end either in the disruption OF
the government the humiliation of the rights of the
Southern States and the citizens thereof This most
honestly believe and believing it, feel it to be
duty journalists to say So at the risk of bring
ing down holy objur cations on our sinful head.
