Hsg~The Raleigh Register does us injustice, no doubt
unintentonaIy. We said few days SINCE after hav-
ing read hastily mere Geographic synopsis of por-
ton of the Presidents message, that did not
anything in the message to excite the most
ceptibe Southern Rights man, and were, therefore,
surprised to learn by private dispatches from Wash
ngton, that Southerners said there that the
was the last drop that made the cup overfow-that
all hope for the Union was abandoned, etc.
We took care to premise that we might see some
thing in the message at large that we did not see in
the language telegraphed.
Upon further examination of the message at large
we fully appreciated the desire of the President to
maintain peace and avoid boodshed, by deprecating
any attempt at coercion. We felt called upon to
dissent from his high consolidation notions, and we
also perceived that the attempt to collect duties at
the ports of seeding States would be resented the
worst form of tribute levied upon subject provinces
