The Governors, Newspaper.


The State JourndL-the Governor newspaper
is doing all it can to iname the minds Of the people
and prepare them for civil war. 1t declares that
"all hope of preserving the Union is at end"
The wish is no doubt father to the thought. The
Editor of the Journal-we beg pardon Of the public
the nominal Editor would rejoice over dissolu-
ton Of the Union, as that has been part Of the
British system since the days of John Henry, the
hired British emissary, who visited this country on
his wicked errand just before the war of 1912.
The same paper of to-day says, ave tell our
State rights friends that their cause is beSet by
bgoted feeling of tame submission uhich has to be
met and crushed out" The same paper also CON-
mands the Legislature to call Convention. Hon.
est men, and brave men, who opposed to present
secession, and who still hope that the Union may
be preserved, denounced by this miserable tool
Of the Governor tame submissionists," and the
order is given TO crush them out" We shall see
what comes of this. This is indeed free country,
when such person is allowed to pursue such
course. Under the oligarchy which the dsunion
leaders would set up such language would not be
tolerated God deliver the conservative and patriotic
old State of North Carolina from the controof such
men!
part of the plan to "precipitate" disunion is to
spread false rumors and false alarms-such for ex
ample as that the North is demanding the abolition
of the slave representation in Congress. The gloomy
side of letters from distinguished persons is given
while the bright side is suppressed. We caution all
good men against the intrigues, the misrepresenta
tons, and the unholy schemes Of the disunion
leaders.

I. S. SENATOR WILSON CHANGES HIS MIND
Senator Wilson wrote letter to the John Brown
celebration, which from force of circumstances
could not come off in Boston, in which he said:
While accord to John Brown sincerity of motive,
unseltish devotion, and unsurpassed courage, de-
piore and condemn his armed invasion of Virginia.
We're it in my power to do so, | would not consent
70 attend your meeting for l cannot by any act Of
mine thus associate in any degree the issues con-
corning slavery with John Browns lawless descent
upon Harper's Ferry"

VIEWS OF GOVERNOR JoHNsroN.-Gover-
nor Johnston, of Georgia, the candidate for
Vice-President on the Douglas ticket, has
written a letter to the members Of the Legis-
lature of his State, in which he urges the
following action:
l.. Let this Legislature call a Convention
ofthe people, at such time as may be deemed
most convenient, to consider and determine
what the State should do and, also, IN the
meantime, put the State in a condition 10
meet any emergency.
,. Let that Convention re-aftlrm the Gtor-
gia Platform of 1850, and demand the repeal
of all laws passed by any of th" 'on-stave-
holding States, which obstrIrt the execution,
in good faith, of the act of Congress for the
rendition OF fugitive slaves.
3 Let the Convention appea! to the North
EN- States to suppress, BY all legitimate
measures. the slavery agitation. so snbver-
slve of the peace and fraternity between the
States of this Union.
4 Let the Convention ask a consultation
with The other Southern States. either in a
Congress for that purpose, or in such other
manner as may be best calculated to secure
concert of action.

LINCOLN NOT YET PREslDHNr.-Ten States,
possessing SO electoral votes, have nullifed
an act Of Congress, enacted under the consti-
%tutlohal provisions.
These States are Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont. Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Penn
sylvanis, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa.
This they had a perfect right to do. Every
STATE Las a right to nul!lty the acts of Con-
sress, but by the act of notification they de-
clare themselves no longer member of the
Confederacy, they secede and refuse to be
bound by the acts Of Congress. These States
were not members of the Union at the time
the Presidential vote was taken; therefore
they cannot cast their electoral votes. This
will throw the election into tue House Of
Representatives, and the North having been
sufficiently scared, will take a sensible view
of the question, and completely back down
from her arrogant position, and Mr.. BreckIn-
ridge will be next President.
Every State that has nullifed the acts of
Congress has acknowledged the rights Of
secession, and By the act seeded, therefore
we can escape the odiu,n of an inslorious de-
feat.

How OLD ABkn BAlLEp A FLATBoA7.-
The Springfield illinois State Register relates
the following anecdote of the President elect,
1t is to be hoped he will have more sagacity
in managing the Ship of State than he had
in the tlatboat
He has had some experience in navigation,
and if one story they tell of him as the como
dore OF a broad horn is true he may still more
confidently trusted. 1t is said that as he was
floating down the raging Sangamon, in the
broad horn aforesaid. Captain Lincoln en-
ceunteied rough weather, and his craft shipp-
ed more water than he had use or wanted
but how to get rid OF it was the question
A bright idea, however. struck the bold ma
vigator, and sizing an auge1, he bored a two
inch lole in the bottom of his boat. to let the
water out. From that time he became a
wiser if not a sadder man. And whatever
else he may resort to as an expedlent. in sue
crssful'y plotting our bark, , e will 90 his
security that he will not try scuttling her to
stop a leak.
