A correspondent in Raleigh, who writes
on the 2lst ult. to the New York Eveninq
Post, that the Union sentiment is strong in
North Carolina, and that the Secessionists
are playing losing game, says:
The cause of the Union in the Old North
State is largely in the ascendant North
Carolina will follow the example of Virginia,
Tennessee and Missouri on the 2Sth inst,
and cast her vote Overwhelmingly in favor
Of the preservation of the Union. The Se-
cessionsts are growing desperate. They see
the handwriting on the wall" which fore
tells their dooms. In order, however, to
avert the blow which they know will be
their death. blow, they resort to every STRAIT
egem which their wicked hearts can devise
in order to excite the minds and inflame the
passions of the friends of the Union.
They are hourly starting aud circulating
the most improbable stories to this end, and
before the friends of the Union can refute
one of them, half dozen others more
startling than the first are started on their
heels But the friends of the Union have
found them out, and they now discredit
everything emanating from Secessionists.
Notwithstanding the desperate game they
are playing, | assure you We will whip them
/ out in this State, two to one, and very
probably, four to one.
The Union Club of this city hold large
and enthusiastic meetings every alternate
night. The meeting to be held to MORO "
night will be addressed by Hon. George e
Badger, one of our most distinguished men
and an ardent friend of the Union. The
farewell address of Washington will also be
read, as appropriate TO the birthday of the
Father of his Country. We will have 9
rousing meeting. The Club sing national
songs on every occasion of meeting, and the
glorious old "Stars and Stripes" Invariably
wave over the head of the President.
The Legislature of this State will adjourn
on Monday next sine die. Already many Of
the members are leaving, in their anxiety to
reach home in time to take part in the
election for delegates to a convention. The
feeling against a convention is growing
stronger every day, and / think it decidedly
probable that the convention will be voted
down.
Let the Northern people but continue Il
be patient and coDeiiiatory, and, my wore
for it, all things will come right shortly.
is universally believed here that if the peo
pie of the seeding States would now be al
lowed to vote upon the subject, they woul(
decide overwhelmingly ia favor Of comm,
back into the Union.
Since they find they can not carry th
border slave States with them, the sentimen
| OF the people south of us is undergoing
change. The leaders 'precipitated' then
| out Of the Union before the people had tim
| TO think. The sober secOnd thought" vii
come, and then, rely upon it, they will com
back.
All these troubles have been brough
about through the instrumentaity of th
| Breckinridge Democrats, who are renderei
| almost mad on account of the loss of tn
spois. But they can't carry the people o
| the Border States with them.
