For CoERCIoN.-Some occasional correspondents OF
Black Republican papers, deprecate coercion, but the
majority go for it. They say that any other
would be folly treason, weakness, and 80 forth.
The Presidents message will be sent in on Tuesday
next. We know not what will be its tone. We fear
that now that has ceased to be matter of any
great interest This very fact more than anything esa
shows the progress of the revolution in public opinion

politics. in the usual sense of the word have lost nearly
all their interest," save for the immediate asprants topo-

Why be IN q Hurry2

We suppose that the present session of the North
Carolina Legislature will last long the one which
preceded it. It may possibly outast the present Con
gress There is then for haste ground for
precipitation in the choice Of merely Federal ocersn
the distribution of merely Federal honors Let US set
our own house fully in order-see what the appearance
of things within ard without is, what have to hope
and what to fear and then if choose let select
successor to Mr.. Clngman. His term cannot expire
before Lincoln begins Therefore, we have said
above there is need of haste Let not while agi-
tating question of State ConYcnton-ofa Southern
conference-of ar organization and armament of the
militia, show by conduct that mere Federal honors
hold the highest place in minds, and hold out the
most dazzling prizes for the ambition of politicians
our " leaders" we believe some people call them.
We respectfully beg of our members in both Houses,
to give this matter some cool consideration. We really
think it is worthy of it. We don't care much who is
SENT but would rather not undue eagerness indie
cent haste, just at this time. Are we rot right2

Nor EXACTLY WHAT WAS BARGAINED Font
would seem that Monday last, being Monday of Rob-
eson County Court those opposed to the policy recon-
mended in Governor Ellis message called a meetng-a
Union meeting they styled tin the Court House,
at Lumberton. Thos. A. Norment, Esq, presided, and
explained the objects OF the meeting In the course Of
bis remarks the Chairman talked about your Cover
nor using the language and repeating the charges Of
the Raleigh Standard. He stated emphatically that
this was Union meeting, and that none who did
not participate in the sentiment which gave rise to the
CALL were expected to take part Calls made upon
sundry gentlemen who declined because of the request
of the chairman. At length Mr. Morrissey, of Robe
son, member of the Opposition party being called up
on, as a Union man, presume took the floor and
addressed the meeting, endorsing fully the recommended
tons of Governor Ellis message.
Finally the resolutions reported and adopted did the
same thing said resolutions having but two voices op
posed to them And the meeting adjourned, and the
citizens of Robson, called together to denounce

The PresIdenCs Message.-secessiOn Imminent.
We presented yesterday afternoon all that portion of
the Presidents Message which had any real interest at
the present time The President does not believe in the
right of Congress or the General Government to
State and still less in the policy of attempting to do
So AS man Of plain common sense, he sees that the
thing is mpractcabIe and could only widen the breach
He goes for Convention of all the States as provided
for by the Federal Constitution, hoping that such Con-
yention may do something to avert the impending dan
ger of dissolution but fearing that any action may be
too late
We really see nothing in the Message to excite even
the most susceptible Southern Rights man. We may
see something n the document at large that do not
see 10 the language as teegraphcd We were therefore
surprised to learn by private telegraph this morning
from Washington City, that the most conservative
Southernes there had abandoned all hope of the Union
and that they say the Message is the last drop that
makes the cup overflow.
We confess that we cannot understand this. We only
see that whatever may be the reason the fact is as our
correspondent states it.
We do not wish to be any alarmist. We wish in this
most serious and painful copuncture of affairs to say
nothing that is not in our opinion So In this spirit
and none other, we would suggest to all our
readers to set their house in order To take in sail and
prepare for storms We trust that these storms may
of short duration-that they may soon blow over We
think they will But one way Or another they will
probably be violent while they last and certainly the
dread of danger will produce more financial embarrass
ment than actual war. The latter may, or may moi
come. The monetary crisis is upon Any certainty
almost is preferable to the present state of doubt

more indecent, vehement and scurrilous
