Norsn Carolina. like Virginia, has Il large portion
of her aY csterI Territory, which, from climate and
other lcauses IS well adapted for slave labo. or
those agricu tural products. in the cultivation of
which, slave labor is generally employed. This fact
is web known to the fanatics, and several attempts
have fs>si made to establish free labor col,nes in
these .astionS of both States. Ore actually es-

consequences, Black Republican Convention has
been held in that State and delegates sent to
Chicago. In October last it was announced that a

10000 acres, to be sold in lots to persons who will

PIE, think it is time for those interested in slave
property to be on their guard. If such were our
recorded sentiments before the opening Of the Cub

Poole, Edwards & Co, and the editorials of the IRA

agricultural population and reduced exports it will
be proved that the btterest enemies to the working
men of the State, the brawling office-hunting
