Mr. EDIToR: The following extract from the re-
cent speech Of Senator Hunter of Virginia, in the
United States Senate has become favorite llustra
ton with the crossroads presses and orators of the
secession stripe of the greatness and power of the
confederate States.
Mr.. Hunter in the course of his speech said:
The eight seeding States alone possess terri
tory more than three times as great as France
more than six times large as Prussia and nearly
six times as large as England Scotland and Ireland
put together; while the alliance of the other Southern
and border States would increase the territorial
extent of the Southern Confederacy more than one
third Can country like this, occupied by q people
who, from their childhood have been accustomed to
the manly exercise, and the free use of firearms
bold hardy, FESTIVE under unlawful control-and
numbering within its borders, 1900 900 men capa-
BILE of bearing arms, and who, with weeks warm
ing could be marshalled at every assaabe point in
bands Of $4,000 and 100,000-can, L say such
country, and so peopled, be overcome by foreign
foe? The idea is simply absurd"
Now If the greatness of a nation was ONLY to be
measured by the extent of its territory the above
would do very WELL If that was so, the few miser-
able wandering bands of Bedouin Arabs on the
desert of Sahara would be one of the great powers
in the family of nations Senator Hunter knew
very well if those who reiterate his sentiments do
not, that the territorial extent of country neither
constitutes its wealth nor adds to its power or
OF defence If that were true, North Carolina and
Virginia would be as powerful as Great Britain con-
tanning as they do, nearly. equal area But thew
are not Why2 Because the main element in the
formation OF State-the element constituting its
power-its greatness, its wealth. and its prosperity
is wanting. That element is people; and until Won

a LITTLE PLAIN TALK.-The Natchez Miss.
Courier of recent date has vigorous leader on the
new government, from which we extract as follows.
We say again that the people are sovereign. In
our opinion, they have not been allowed to ratify
the secession ordinance. Their Legislature has NOT
ordered the appointment of their rulers. The Con-
sututlon made for them has not vet received their
assent; and we believe that no policy the Soutb NAV
aequlesee in is more dangerous to her rights or n.
terests than the allowing her politicians 70 assume
the irresponsible control of her Government.

There are a few facts supported by figures, which
without any elaboration will enable every rejecting
man to draw correct conclusions.
The eight seeded States with an area Of 646, JOB
square miles, contain, 5,05Gs27 inhabitants. OF
this number 1880 $751; nearly one-half are slaves,
leaving 2,706 146 free inhabitants. Out Of that
2 FOG l46-men, women and children, old and young,
how many can be spared for foreign fighting pur-
poses is question that only experience can settle
With US as well as with our Southern neighbors,
there must always be home guard. 5zs.
The eight slave States still in the Union extend
over an of 32S, 158 square miles, which is
21T945 square miles less in territory than the Sc
coded States. Yet we have population of 253 150.
OF this population 1,649, 1877, somewhat over one
fourth are slaves leaving 5,603,9S3 free persons.
The slave States now in the Union have 1887, 1877
free inhabitants than the seeded States while
the seeded States have 70l, 514 more slaves than
there with us.
The foregoing figures, Mr.. Editor, are suggestive;
and their consideration is sufficient to cause
many men in our midst to pause, aye, "Soateh and
soGit" long, before they will break up government
which has benefited and protected them for so long
a time for the purpose of joining government as
unstable water, because its very foundation re-
cognizes the right to reyoutonize it at the option
of any one State composing it.
Besides the 5,603,9S3 free persons with US are as
able to take of themselves with their ideas of
popular rights as the 2,7O6, l46 in the seeded
States with their peculiar idea of ignoring the ex
istence of the voice Of the people. And those with
us who are unwilling that the people shall rule and
that their voice shall be respected had better pre-
cipitate themselves at once from our law-abiding
community, and go where their leaders in this revo
lutionary movement have congregated to-wt:

Editor, in witnessing debate which took place
among the students of Asbury Academy Wake
County. They had for the question Union or Dis

the discussion, but will say 1t would have done
credit to much older persons At late hour the
result was announced by the President to be in ia
vor of the Union which received with great ap.
plause.
After this, seeing the deep interest taken in the
matter by the audience, the proposition was made
for the whole house to vote on the merits of the
question. When the question was put the whole
audience including the ladies present rose in favor

am an ardent admirer Of this great country of

and feel deeply Inundated at seeing it rent and torn
to pieces by designing, selfish politicians. will
not endeavor to eulogiZe the government framed by
the purest and tosest patriots the world ever pro-
duced; inaugurated by WASHINGTON; sanctioned
by JEFFERSON; and administered in its perfection
by JACKSON. These names will stand emblazoned
with glory, upon the Hottest summit of flames proud
mansion, when the names of designing, intriguing
politicians who seek the ruin of the country shall
be buried in oblivion or covered with disgrace live
monument of their iniquity. Then it is but right
that lovers of this great nation, in North Carolina,
should be permitted to express their admiration of
your manly defence and support of this glorious
government for the last few months
Go on, Sir, in your great work of grasping the
good old State of NORTH CAROLINA from the power
and tyranny Of secessionists. Let your vigorous
and patriotic pen never remain inactive for one
moment until complete victory shall sit perched
upon your standard Keep your motto "WArcu
AND WAT," before the public eye Mark, what
men have set themselves as opponents of the great
principles upon which our government rests. And
shall we at their bidding give up the last hopes of
humanity? No! Never!
North Carolina has uttered her voice at, and sent
forth her mandate from the ballot box but the
enemies of our institutions rampant and still
seek to crush out our liberties. And can they
appear before the people and say-we are for the
rights of the people?
Bid the despoilers touch not this God-bestowed
heritage of freedom, lest humanity curse them lest
the homeless widows and fatherless and pennyless
orphan curse them; lest the great COP in whose
name our fathers fought and conquered curse them
and how bitter will the curse be-
Are not the last hopes of humanity clustering
around the supporting columns of our home Of
the free, and the land of the brave?" Then be
firm in your cause and if success your efforts
humanity will bless you-wife and children when
quietly seated around their hearth stone will bless
you-and God will bless you. In the spirit of
patriotism triumph. ANTI-SECESSION.
