The Cloven Foot of Disunion.

In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr..
Henry, Of BERTHE, offered resolution providing for
the purchase II national flag, to be unfurled on
the top Of the Capitol Mr.. Hoke, by way Of cast
ing ridicule onthe proposition, moved to refer the
resolution to the committee on propositions and
grievances: Nearly all the reputation as a.public
man which Mr.. Hoke has he acquired under that
flag in foreign land and now, with the calm and
glorious face Of the father of his country looking
down upon him in the Commons Hall, he rises in
his place and treats that ensign which WASHINGTON
unfurled and blessed with disrespect, if not deri
sion and contempt ts-.t. 0, ~ be-, --.l'' T.,
The Governor Of the State had ample power 70
procure flag, but we are not surprised that he has
failed to do so. Hundreds of dollars are annually
expended to keep the Capitol in repair and order
and expended too under the authority of the Cover
nor without specific appropriations, for the sums
wanted for specific purposes cannot be foreseen or
ascertained by the Legislature; yet few dollars
could not be spared for national flag to be hosted
on the Capitol The banner Of the stars and stripes
is offensive in the eyes of the dIsunionists. 1t
good enough for Washington and Jackson but it is
too old-fashioned, and there are too many Union
memories about it for them. Perhaps Palmetto
flag with one star upon it would suit them better.

Col. ]. s. HARRINGTON.

This sterling Democrat and honest hearted patriot
was called not long since, to preside Consti
tutional Union meeting in the Commons Hall, in
this City; and because he accepted the call and be-
cause he is known to be opposed to dsunon for ex-
sting causes effort is being made in certain quar-
ters to put him under the ban. Col. II. presided
over the meeting referred to- not as Democrat but
as citizen. The subjects before the meeting have
no connection with party, but they concern every
person in the State. The efforts, therefore, to im-
peach his parry fidelity on this ground will amount
to nothing; while so far as his Union sentiments
are concerned, he is endorsed and commended by
vast majority of his constituents To prove what
we say make the following extrrct from letter
just received from Harnett county:
81 am going to make up the largest list of sub
scriberS you have ever had at this office We are
all Union men in this Comfy except very few.
There are not fifty men out of the nine hundred
voters in Harnett who endorse the message of Gov.
Ellis on federal relations
But to render our proof still more conclusive as
to the sentiments of the people Of Cumberland and
Harnett, we are permitted by Col. Harrington to
make the following extract from letter just re-
ceivcd by him from of his constituents:
~ perceive that the Union feeling is very strong
in Harnett and think it may be safely asserted tha
there not one hundred and fifty sccessoniss il
the two Counties represented by you. The mass
our people, irrespective of party heartily approve
of your course in relation to federal affairs, SO far
| can learn their sentiments"
We trust that we shall htar no more complaint
aganst Col. for carrying out the acishes Of hi
constituents. If certain representatives from othe
Counties would conform, as he is doing to the vii
of those who sent them here, We should hear br
little OF attempts to pull down, without good cause
the best government in the world

We invite attention to the proceedings of the Leg
islature on Tuesday and Wednesday. They will be
found interesting.
The Senate has passed bill appropriating $780,
900 for the purchase of arms The House was enga-
ged the greater part of "Wednesday in considering
this bill. 1t will come up again to-day for consider
aton having passed its second reading in the House.
The Senate has granted leave of absence to its
members from and after to-day until the 7th Of
January. The House has not concurred in this
resolution, but disposed to insist on less time
than that determined on by the Senate.
No ballot has yet been had for Senator, though
itmay be that an effort will be made to bring on
the Senatorial election to-day. III -
On Wednesday Mr.. Hail. the Senator from New
Hanover, spoke at some length on federal relations.
Mr.. Hall declared that he was not disunionist pei
sc, but his speech seemed to us to he secession
speech Mr. Thomas, of Jackson, also addressed
the Senate, strongly favoring secession. Mr.. Eure,
of Gates and Chowan, spoke at some length, avow-
ing himself Constitutional Union man and Mr.
Taylor of Brunswick, also addressed the Senate in
sstrong Southern rights strain. We did not have
the pleasure of hearing him, but We learn that that
veteran statesman, the Hon. Bedford Brown replied
in the most powerful and triumphant manner te
MessrS Hall and Thomas. We trust that Col
Brown will write ou: his remarks for publication

FIGHTING IN THE UNION-POSITION OF
f.-..- GOV. WISE ..., -..-.. a.


We find in the papers the following letter from
Gov. Wise Having been written to by gentle
man of Columbus Georgia, to define what he meant
by "fightins in the Union" he replies as follows:
RoLlIsToN NEAR NORFOLK, Va.
December /, 1860.
DEAR Srg: Yours of the 92d ult, was late coming
to hand. now thank you for it. As to my doctrine of
fighting in the Union" it is of true policy.
1st. II sovereign State is Judge Of the i,airae-
tion as well as Of the mode and of redress,
she may remain in the Union TO resent, or resist
wrongs as well as do SO out of the Union. I
3D. If other States have nfrac:ed the Union, not
she, the State wronged is bound to defend the Con-
stituon and Union against those who have infract-
cd the and threatened the other. Logically the
Union belongs to those who have kept not those
who have broken, its covenants.
Sd. The Union is not an abstraction it is a real
substantial thing, embracing many essential and vi
tai political rights and properties. 1t has natoaali
ty, lands, Treasury, organization Of army. nary,
ships, dock CARDS drsenais, &C., de-, dc. Shall We
renounce these rights and possessions because wrong
doers attempt to deprive lis Of other rights Is it
not cowardly to rcnounce right to save another
Are these rights not as precious the mere right
of property in negroes But s~.5.:lf ii,
. 4th. If you secede, you not only renounce the
Union and its possessions, but you fail to unite your
own people, because you do renounce these rights
Wake man mp to destroy the Union and Constitu-
tion, and he will stare at you and turn away But
tell him that the Constitution is nracted and the
Union threatened by Black Republicans and call on
hun to aid you in defending both, and he Will act
heartily with you. s....,f -.
+ 9th. Then how is this 10 be done? The Bird clause
Of the 10th section Of the lst art OF the Constu-
ton of the United States permits State to keep
troops and ships Of in time of peace, and en-.
gage in war, when actually invaded. or when in
such imminent danger as will not admit Of delay
Now. are We not actually invaded? Is our danger
not imminent? Does it admit Of delay? May not
a sovereign State decidey

Alabama und Mississippi Commissioners.


On Thursday last Messrs. Garrett and Smith,
Commissioners from the State Of Alabama, with
Hon. Jacob Thompson, Commissioner from MisSis-
spp appeared before the Legislature of this State,
and were received in the Commons Hall, Mr.. Speaker
Clark. Of the Senate, presiding The Governor of
the State and the Judges of the Supreme Court
were in attendance, with the members of both
houses, and large audience.
Mr.. Ransom, on behalf of the committee, intro
luced these gentlemen; whereupon Mr.. Garrett
rose and read address setting forth the object of
their mission The address was listened to with
much attention and interest
Mr.. Thompson did not address the Legislature
On Thursday night the Alabama Commissioners
addressed large audience iE the Commons Hall.
The,object of the Alabama Commissioners is to
induce North Carolina to secede from the Union.-
Alabama they say, will certainly secede soon after
her Convention assemblies.
We entertain great respect for Alabama, but for
cne We cannot go with her in this secession move
meut She is largely responsible for the present
condition of things for her representative man. Mr.
Yancy, disrupted the national Democratic party at
Charleston, and thus paved the way for its defeat
and the election of Lincoln. Mr.. Yancy and his
Alabama and Mississippi followers did that thing
Nth that rieu and now they coolly ask us to con-
tnue this work Of disruption by dissolving the
lnon. But for them verify believe Mr.. Lincoln
would have been defeated, and the evil now on the
country would have been postponed or averted. =
