Still for Union and the Constitution.
MR DOUGLAS IN NEW ORLEANS!

Mr. Douglas arrived in New Orleans on the
Sth instant, and met with exceedingly en-
thusiastic reception. He was welcomed by the
Hon. Pierre Soule and responded as follows:

zens places me under increased obligations.
appreciate this reception. This vast crowd, in
the midst of this pouring and drenching rain,
and with a still darker cloud hanging over our
country, calculated to depress the heart of the
patriot, shows there is yet hope for our glori-
Gus Union.
This is no time to despair or to despond
The bright sun will soon chase away these
Clouds and the patriots of the land, laying
aside partizanship and forgetting former parti-
zan strife, will rally man and throttle
the enemies of our country. Cheers. Although
an Abolitionist may have been elected to the
Presidency of the United States, the gallant
fight which the Democracy have made in the
Northern States has secured representatives
enough united with the South, to put Mr.. Lin
coin and his Administration in minority in
both houses of Congress. Cheers. There is no
act he can do which will violate or impair the
rights of any citizen of any State of this Union
[Cheers. This is no time to indulge in crimina.
ton and recrimination. The contest for the
Presidency has ended and with it allow the as
perities which it has generated to pass away.
Cheers. But we must never forget the prncl-
pie upon which we stand. Cheers. [ can make
any sacrifice short of principle. Men are of no
consequence, principles are everything. LChccrs
In the contest, then, with the flag of the Union
over us and non-nterference by Congress on
the subject of Slavery still emblazoned upon
our banners, the National Democracy will drive
back Abolitionism, put down sectionalism, and
restore peace and harmony to this glorious
country. Cheers [ renew to you, Sir, and
these assembled friends my grateful acknowl-
edgments for your kindness on this occasion.
Immense applause.
Mr.. Douglas then took seat in a carriage
drawn by four beautiful bays, procession was
formed, and he was escorted through immense
crowds in the streets to the st. Charles Hotel,
where he was again called out, and spoke as
follows

Not the schooImas,er abbott.

Our Reporter, who made the little notice OF
Mrs. Brookfelds school room few days ago,
says that the author, Abbott, to whom he allu-
school on the corner of Broad and Craven
streets. He did not know even, then, that the
N7 Abbott who is teaching in Newbern was
an author, or that he had published book.
He says he did not mean him and that ought
to be enough, but it seems it is not, as his
friends, some of them, are wonderfully con-
cerned about it.
The Editor of this paper would have it dis
tinctly understood that he thinks as much of a
Northern man. if a gentleman, as he does of a
Southern man, ,and that he despises that mis-
cradle sectional jealousy which traduces abu-
ses, and sometimes mobs good men simply be-
cause they come from the North, or Ireland,
Germany, or New England, or some other for
eign land. We have but little acquaintance
with Mr. J. B. Abbott but we can most cheer
fully say that we have never seen anythig amiss
of him, and as he came here under the patron
age of some Of our prominent slayeholdng citi-
zens we suppose he must be "sound on the
goose and also On the nigger question
Certainly we know nothing to the contrary
The columns of this paper shall never be used,
while under our CONTROL to abuse man SIM
ply becaus he is a Yankee, for oar oocn ances-
try came from Northern State, and we doubt
not but they were as good as they would have
been had they first have seen light in South
Carolina We hope in conclusion that Mr.
:J B. Abbott will not be prosecuted simply be-
cause he has the same name of some other
man who wrote book and ridiculed school
houses in Eastern Carolina

Very we'll said, Nr Herald. We are not
prepared either to be dictated to by people
who have been ridiculing our people and our
State all their lives. We think that ''per-
sonal" item which appeared in the Charlotte
Bulletin few days ago gives us an ink1jng as
to the source from which the Guardian OBJ
tanned this gratifying intelligence and we
have only to say thatif Wayne and Edgecombe
are ready for immediate secession, (Which we
don't believe,) Craven, Green Pitt, Beaufort,
Lenoir, Jones, Onslow, Caterett, Hyde, and
all the other Eastern counties are not. We
advise the Guardian not to make this repre-
sentation any further, for however we'll it may
take over there, people here will only be amused
at its absurdity

4 Good Lntroduction. The meeting on Friday
night in and around Institute Hall was an excel
lent introduction and preparation for the great
meeting expected this eveninp
never, indeed, has the Institute Hall witnessed
such an assemblage and representation of the
best citizenship of Charleston. 1t was an even
ing following day of very unfavorable weather
with frequent and heavy showers of rain No
purpose, or occasion of common import or call
and certainly no matter of entertainment or
amusement, could have brought together on
such an evening more than a few dozen persons

o the purpose actuating al, hearts and OF the de-
votlon of Charleston to the cause of the South
nnd the State, were cheeringly exhibited in the as
sembage which overtied and surrounded Insti-
cute hall, and all its approaches on such an even
ing. 1t was not merel y in numbers large as
se'nhiage, but it comprised largely representa-
tlon of elderly and well known citizens and of al
classes of citizens
The clergy Of the city of all denominations
were eager and approving participants.

we only mention this meeting now to repeat our
sense and appreciation of its representative

Iherate utterance of Charleston.
That voice will be repeated in clearer tones
even this evening, in the great meeting of rati-
tcation aud approval, to which we invite atten-

desire to maintain the proud position of our be-
loved metropolis

For The U1:zOn.

The ST. Louis Missouri Republican says:
We say then that Mr. Lincoln has been elec
ted President of the United States according to
all the forms of the Constituton-that on his in
duction into Office on the 4th of March rext, he
should be rec0gui=ed by all good citi-eas the
President Of the republic-GRd that there IS jus
tifcati0n an any thing ttat has taken Place t0T
threats Of secession from the Union by any one
or more States. or for any demonstration of an in
tent to break up fhe government Now that the
election is and that men able to realize
the folly of which they have been guilty,
that if the South is made to suffer at all by any
act OF Mr.. Lincoln or of the party to which he
belongs, it is her own fault. Nothing can be
clearer than that, if the South, acting under
the instructions of Mr. Buchanan, had not
opposed the election of Mr.. Douglas after his
nomination. he would have received two-thirds
of the electoral vote, and been elected President.
What it that gave to Mr.. Buchanan--the
traitor the large electrical vote, but the gene
raj acquiescence of the friends of all the other
candidates, little as they were disposed to think
well of him at the time, and bitter have been
the fruits of his corrupt and indefensible admin
istraton But the representatives of the South
Intent on precpitating the cotton States into

Douglas-the only man " ho could, by any pos
sibility, carry Northern State-and upon them
rests the responsibility of MIR. Lincolns election.
In this dilemma, even if it were detensibe
any grounds, we say that good citizen of Mis-
souri, ought to take any step or do any act
which looks to the destruction of the Union
Let Mr. Lincoln go into the Presidential Office
Letkhim show his hand. Let him say whether
under the solemn obligation W. ich he must take
in front of the Capitol, on the 4th of March, to
support the Constit uti n, and see that the laws
are faithfully executed, he will pledge himself
carry out the Fugitive Slave law. and to respect
the rights of all sections of the Union alike, and
if he refuses to do it, should select such cab
met as would Justify the belief that he does not
intend tc do it, it win then be time enough to
ADOPT measures looking to dissolution of the
Union.

Don't Think So.

Can't think that North Carolina and Virginia
will be obliged to follow South Carolina or any
other State or States out ofthe Union. North
Carolina is an independent sovereignty and is
by no means tied to the destiny ofSouth Caro-
lima, whose people have been ridiculing our
territory and population ever since their forma-
ton. The editor of the RougA Notes, though,
we see, thinks that South Carolina can do lust
as she pleases with the other Southern Staaes,
but the scales will fall from his eyes as:well
as from theirs; our people will no.: leave
the Union because told to do so b. South
Carolina.
The RougA Notes says:
But regardless Of consequences, wherever
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama Mississippi
Texas, Florida, OF wherever majority of these
States may go, or whatever they may do, North
Carolina, Virginia, and other Southern States,
will be obliged to follow. When they will do
it, may be a question, but they will, neverthe-
less do it. Their own selfrespect and self
protection will force this step upon them
Were the South united, we would say go nosc
because we can see*no ray Of hope, ultimately,
for any other couEse; but until something like
united concentrated action, on the part of all
the Southern States can be secured we see
nothing to he+gained by Immediate secession
Oh the part .5f any of them. Still the secession
of one, Sols5h Carolina, for instance, which is
almost certain, will certainly issue in the Sc
cesSion ST all, provided any attempt be made
to whip her into subsection.
