Governors NIessage.

This important document is at length before US. 1t
is plain businesske and to the point 1t treats of the
public debt and finances of the public works. of the
agricultural and educational systems and progress of the
State of our system of taxation and revenue.
The Message also refers temperatey and calmly to
the issues of the day arising out of the election of purely
sectional candidates for the offices of President and Vice
President expresses the conviction that there exists
but little ground rest hope that rights will be
secured to US by the General Government. 1t is sug
gesed that North Carolina invite conference with the
other Southern States. Also, that Convention of our
own people be called to assemble Immediately after the
consultation Of the other Southern States shall have
inflated. The Message also recommends the re-enroll
ment and reorganization of the militia, and the forma-
ton of corps of ten thousand volunteers, with
ganizaton separate from the main body of the militia,
aud that they be suitably armed.
Anxious to preserve the Union in accordance with
the Constitution it is evident that Gov. Ellis is far
from sanguine in his hopes that such thing be
done and that he admonshes to be prepared for any
emergency.--Daily Journal, 22I INST.

AwfIllly COnceI ned.

The paterna raterna external and internal interest
which the opposition papers to take in the affairs
of the Raleigh Standard must be highly gratifying to
themselves since they indulge the amiabe weakness
freely. Whether it is equally so to Mr. Holden is anoth
er question: and which do not propose to dis
cuss. Why the benevolent and patriotic persons who
control these opposition papers should be awfuy
concerned might be subject for conjecture were their
motives not transparent to leave no room for
uation They wish to stir up additional dissen-
sions in the Democratic party They did their biggest
at that during the whole OF last Summer They are at
their ropes end
But again we ask why should our opposition friends
be so concerned about the Standard or any other Dem
ocratic paper If the State printing is given to one
Democrat rather than to another that surely is matter
altogether within the Democratic party 1t is nothing
to US. Why should it be to them? What prescriptive
right tenure there in this than in any
other Office? None, we presume We take it that MIR.
Holden himself has altogether too mach good sense to
join in the petty howl raised by of the enemies of
the Democratic party
The Observer and some such papers have been very
persstently twittipg Mr.. Spelman of the Salisbury
BGnne, because of the crime in their eyes, of not pos
sessing much property. Now, if there really be so
much money in the Office of State printer as there is
said to be, then Mr.. Spellman is of the very men
to get it, so as to cure him of the crime OF mpecunos
ty Mr. Holden is not liable to this charge and does
not therefore stand so much need Of having this cure
administered to him.
As friends know we have been totally out of this
ring not seeking desiring this any other appoint
ment we mt in and reoneste our friends or the fau
whom saw, TO put in no claims on our behalf in op-
potion to any one, nor, indeed under any crcumstan-
ces. Occupying this wholly outside position, having
and taking neither lot part in any contest we can
speak the more freely.

Meeting fin SAMPSON.

We learn that on Tuesday last, the largest and most
unanimous meeting ever held in Sampson met at the
Court House in Clinton to take into consideration the
present position of public affairs. The meeting was
called without distinction of party and was so partic
pated in by the most solid men of Sampson.
The meeting was ably and eoquenty addressed by
II. L. Holmes ESQ., and resolutions passed urging upon
the Legislature the calling OF Convention for the pur
pose of deciding upon the course to be pursued by this
State. The feeling in Sampson is as unit il
well can be- Party lines no longer divide the citizens
upon this most important question The peopl. il
advance OF the politicians. The people demand Con
yention. They 1OW haze it.
We expected to receive the official proceedings of thu
Sampson meeting in time for todays Journal but have
failed to do so. The mails are Very uncertain.

It will be seen that the resolutions of the meeting held
here on Monday night have been laid before the Senate
by Mr.sHalI, and before the House by Mr.. Shaw.
Neither gentleman entered into any argument upon
the merits OF the resolutions it being understood that
all such argument would be reserved for the time when
the report of the joint committee on Federal Relations
would put the matter fairly before the Legislature
Such recence suited not the Hon. Bedford Brown who
arose and pitched into them, delivering a somewhat
peevish speech, going for submission. Is Mr. Brown
sore?
Mr.. Clingman has received the caucus nomination
for Senator.
The bill taking off the penalties of Bank suspension
has passed both houses and is now law. 1t is made
condition in the bill that the Banks shall not reduce
their line of discounts The idea we think s that they
shall increase them.
The meeting of minute men, and of citizens favorng
the movement was held last night in the Court House
here, pursuant to notice. The building crowded
by an audience thoroughly in earnest. DR.. VIM. A.
Berry was called to the Chair.
In response to a call made upon him, 81. L. Holmes,
Esq, addressed the meeting ably eoquenty, and at
considerable length, appealing to all North Carolinans
stand by tie honor of their State and the rights and
interests of her citizens. The man that would not do

where he belonged Mr.. Holmes reviewed the issues IN
statesmanke manner with due spirit yet without IN
necessary heat.
John Z. Holmes Esq. being called upon, made
brief address, abiding among other things to the reso
lutions passed by town meeting held in 1880 In res
ponse to communication from the city of Charleston
in reference to the formation of antsavery societies at
the North. This meeting held without distinction OF
party and presided by the Magistrate of Police
that Office being then filled by DR.. Thomas II. Wright
declared that if the Northern States would not put
stop to such things the South must provide for her own
protection How much more strongly is the South nor0
called upon to do so. How much more imperative is
the demand upon each of her sons to stand by her?

THEY MEAN NO HARM Following upon Lincon's
election we find Captain Montgomery, the friend
and associate Of Captain ~ John Brown, engaged in
committing acts of felony and other misdeeds in Kan
zas and upon the borders of Missouri, Arkansas and
Texas He has murdered Mr.. Moore, grand juror,
Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Samuel Scott and Mr.. Kinds, and
forced Judge Williams of the .. s. District Court and
the other Government officials to fly for their lives.
Montgomery had beer IN Boston and returned to Kan
zas amply provided with and money. He has a
body OF FIVE to eight hundred like himself prepared to
steal negroes and murder pro-slavery men, The good
people of the New England States might find better use
at home for their money than they do in sending it out
to Kansas to be the of numbering their South
ern brethren But they mean no harm! Oh no
none at all.

WHAT Gov BROWN WILL Do,-Hon. A. G. Brown
of Mississippi addressed Breckenridge and Lane meet
ing in New Orleans few evenings since The Crescent
sketches the concluding portion Of his address fol-
lows:
On the subject of the charge of disunon the honor
able gentleman remarked that in his State there not
one person to be found who would disrupt the Union.
We want to conserve it by protecting the rights Of the
people. But whenever the Government shall be in the
hands OF Abraham Lincoln the Union will be dissolved

ready to Jump into each others bOsoms as it were and

to speak OF Mississippi and what she will do, and when
it is to be done. Louisiana may do as she pleases.
ask to have no man committed to my opinions. All /
do is to try and enforce these opinions in my State
In the event of Lincons election, shall advise the
governor OF the State of Mississippi to the e
gisature; shall advise the legislature to call CONVEX
ton of the people and that they call home their con-
gressona representatives and let them arouse by the
memory of the spirit of their foreathers n the defence
of right and justice The hour of threats and oppression
has grown into funes in the North and it would not
be surprising to the Yankee actuated by the same
desire to whip us into subsection that animated King
George ~. But let them never did the British
at New Orleans have blOodier job with Gen. jackson
than would these Yankees have with u.s. Many Jack
would spring FORTH Mnervake to defend the rights
OF the South. All we ask is equal rights under the
Constitution and if get not these, advise you to

Military Convention.

We are requested to state that the remark copied by
us from the Salisbury Watehman that "a system OF
military law, which it proposed should take the place
of the present code reported by the committee on
business and after rather hurried and discrderly dis
cusson was adopted is inaccurate, nasmuch as no dis
order was manifest upon any question relating to the
business for which the convention assembled. Some
resolutions on the subject of secession did at one time
create disorder their presentation being resisted as
wholly irrelevant to the legitimate objects of the con-
vention, which military and not political body.
The report of the business committee adopted
almost unanimously.
