Their work is all custom made--made un-

will bear testimony. They manufacture all
kinds and qualities of work, from the finest
satin slippers to the coarsest stogy boots
They are commencing the spring business
with renewed energy and increased facilities,
and are resolved that their establishment
shall be second to none in regard to the quail

make it the Emporium Boot and Shoe Store

so good reputation during the years they
have been doing business in this place, that
it can hardly be improved by anything we
can say. Therefore we will merely suggest
that everybody read their new advertise
ment, and everybody give them call.

HE SPIRIT OF REsIsTANCB-A large number
Of the people of North Carolina are becoming
uneasy and dissatisfied in consequence of having
to live under Black Republican administration.
Although the vote in February showed that there
was large majority in the State at that time
opposed to secession. it is apparent that there has
been a change within the last month The Union
men may talk about "Union" and peace. and
counsel submission to the Government at Wash
ington, but they might as well understand now
Gas they will certainly be convinced hereaftcr)
that large and respectable portion of the people
of North Carolina do not intend to submit to Abe
Lincoln, Josh Giddirgs Co. They prefer the
Southern flag to the " stars and stripes held up
by set Of fanatics and enemies of the South.
The secession movement cannot be checked in this
State. Some of the Union papers talk quite flip
PANTY about meeting force with force. We re-
greet to see any such illusions, for we think the
Southern Rights be carried triumph
antly forward by peaceful measures, but all may
rest assured that if force is rcsorted to on either
side the days of the connection of North Carolina
with the Northern States will be numbered We
are for peace-the Southern Rights party is for
peace-and the best way to promote peace is for
all the slavehOlding States to unite under com
mon Government, administered upon principles of
equity and Justice, and controlled by men who are
willing to afford property of all kinds equal pro-
lection.
The spirit of resistance is abroad in the State
it cannot be quelled. The best way to settle
difficulties is to look at them as they exist and
apply the easiest aud surest remedy-secessionl
A meeting Of citizens of Polk and Rutherford
counties was held on the 26th ult, and passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That wW not submit 10 the Administra-
