THE UNION.
BY HENRY W. LONGFELLow

Thou too sail on, o Ship of State.
Sail on, o Union, strong and great
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years.
Is hanging 6reathiess on thy fate
Ne kno,c ,chat Master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of STEEL
Who made each mast and sail and rope,
What anvils rang. what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what heat,
Were shaped the anchors thy Hope
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
lis Of the rare and not the Ock,
lis but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite Of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea
Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee
Our hearts, our hopes, our PRAYERS, our tears
Our faith of triumph DER or fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee

Nix. WINsLow. OF N C-We take from the
Washington correspondence of the New York Times,
of Thursday, the 10th inst, the following comments
upon the position at present occupied by Mr.. Wins

tics and have to add 10 it the fact that we know no
other gentleman of either party who is rising more
rapidly and more legtimatcly in the public estna-
ton. Never was the value Of unvaryng courtesy,
and good temper, and strong sense as displayed in
the transactions of the business of Congress better
illustrated, than in the position as a Democratic
party leader, which Mr. Winslow has obtained this
session-proving the general appreciation of his
party the floor of the fact that there he is en-
phaticaly the man for the times:

JACKSON COUNTY COPPER MINES.

RALEIGH, January 80, 1860.
To HIS Ercellency, Coz. Ellis
Sir: have examined the box of copper ores
which you furnished from jackson county, N c.,
and find it contains only species Of orc the yell
low sulphuret. This is however, stained with the
black oxide in consequence of partial decomposition
which it has undergone. THIS ore is free from the
arsencal compounds so common in some of the
Ducktown mines, and is equal, taken as whole, to
any which are known either at Ducktown or in
Guilford county, in this State This box is evident
ly made Up from pieces taken from near the surface
No labels accompany the box but believe they
came from the Way-ye-hutte mine.

will diminish and be replaced by the yellow sulp hur

foregoing that this mine will pay we'll for working
when facilities Tor reaching market have been fur
nished Several other Mines however, in the same

The WAY IN WHICH NORTHERN DEMOCRATS ARE
ABusED.-We published some weeks since an ex-
tract from speech delivered in the House of Rep
resentatlves by Mr.. Larrabee, of Wisconsin, which
was eminently sound and national in its tone.
Judge Larrabee is one of those Northern national
Democrats who is willing to do the South justice,
but whose numbers are constantly decreasing in
Congress under the combined attack made upon
them by the Northern and Southern opponents Of
national Democracy. A Wisconsin black Republi-
can newspaper thus notices Judge Larrabees speech:
'"We have read the speech of the wretched Lar.
rabee, and the only notable feature of the whole
document is his calm acknowledgment that if he
resided in slave State, he would hold slaves and
should consider it no wrong in him to do so-
This is all the most anatical frecater could ask of
Northern Representative"
1t is "wretched Larrabee" at the North, and
hypocritical Larrabee at the South. How long will
the South tolerate politicians in her midst who are
constantly engaged in the work of pulling down
and destroying such national men and true patriots
as Judge Larrabeef

Gov. Ellis and President BuchaSah.


The unanimity with which the administration Of
Gov. Ellis has been approved by the Democracy Of
the State generally, is most gratifying The ConVen
ton of the 9Th of March next, in nominating Gov.
Ellis for reelection will but announce and register
the wish and the will Of 1.-THE Democracy Of the State
We anticipate his reelection by commanding ma
jority. 73
Nor has the approval ~ the Democracy Of the
State of the administration of President Buchanan
been less cordial or emphatic. No President has
ever stood by the Constitutional rights Of the South
with more frmness or fidelity than James Buchanan.
The people Of North Carolina are just and discern.
ing people. They have the intelligence to see who
have been and are their friends and they have that
sense of justice and that estimate of justice which
prompts them to stand by their friends. The at.
lacks upon President Buchanan, made by an un.
scrupulous opposition North and South, pass them
as the idle wind. On the great issue Of the ire
pressible conflict" he is thoroughly with US; and
he is also thoroughly with the subject Of slave
~ in the Territories. On no question has he de-
ceived the South or the country He has kept faith
upon them all. The people Of the State-the De
mocracy of the State-feel and know these things t.
be so; and hence the unanimity and cordially witt
which, in all their public meetings, they have refer
\ red to and approved the administration of james
buchanan.
