day before yesterday an English lady, who had
resided at Hamburg for some time, and had been

three miles distant. She assembled the tower fthe
new church there, and having first tied her legs
together, threw herseffrom the tower to the EARTH

communication having appeared in the Stand
ard during our absence on the campaign, stating
that j. W. B. Watson, ESQ, had been nominated by
the Disunionists Of Johnston, and the impression
having gone abroad that that gentleman is Dsu-
nionist it is due to him that we should represent
his position correctly. -.
The nomination referred to was made against Mr..
Watsons wish, and he declined TO accept it. The
fact that he declined was well known in Johnston,
and was stated by the Union candidates on the
stump. At the precinct he attended on the day Of
election no vote was cast for him, he having urged
the people not to vote for him but for the Union
ticket Mr.. Watson was urged to accept the Union
nomination, but declined it. not because he was not
thoroughly with the Unionists but because he did
not desire a seat in the Convention, having served
the County in the Senate for some three months to
the neglect Of his private interests.
Mr. Watson is devoted and thorough Union
man. and all statements to the contrary are calcu-
lated to do him injustice. -.

Judge RuGn.

We learn that Judge Rufin made profound i'm
preston on the Peace Conference by his learning,
ability firmness and patriotism. In the language
Of a friend who had opportunities OF observing and
judging Of the value of his services in that body,
she was head and shoulders taller than any man
in the Conference"
Messrs. Reid, Barringer, and Davis differed with
Judge Ruffin and Gov. Morehead on several sections
Of the Franklin substitute and the vote of the State
was cast accordingly. When the vote was thus cast
against the first section which relates to slavery in
the Territories, Judge Ru6n rose to enter his dis
sent and that of Gov Morehead to the vote of the
majority He said, among other things, that he had
taken his seat in that bedy with sincere desire to
establish Justice and restore harmony between the
States; that he not only hoped that this would be
done. but he would labor to accomplish it; that he
was older than the federal Constitution and Union,
and did not wish to survive them; and that, as ne
had lived under them for more than seventy years,
and had enjoyed their protection and benefits, ne
desired to die and be buried under them, and to
transmit them as precious inheritance to coming
generations These remarks were greeted with en-
thusiastic applause by the Northern commissioners,
and indeed by all who were anxious to settle exist
ing difficulties.
We do not propose to-day to discuss the Franklin
substitute. We may do SO hereafter. But we will
say this that for one we will accept it. 1t gives to
the South quite as much as was claimed by the last
Democratic State Convention of North Carolina, and
quite as much as was claimed by the Tennessee res
outon in relation to slavery in the Territories and
we will show this to be by the record ITSELF if
necessary We will not 60 with Messrs. Barringer,
Reid, and Davis in demands and movements which
will still further excite the public mind and still
further divide the Union, against the opinions and
views of such men as Rufin and Morehead.
Our only purpose at present is to refer to the i'm
preston produced by Judge Ruffin on the Peace
Conference and to express our own wish and that
Of all with whom we have conversed, that he would
furnish to his fellow citizens of the State by letter
otherwise full account of the action Of that bo-
dy, together with his views on the various sections
Of the Franklin substitute.

Slavery in the st ties.
The House Of Representatives and Senate Of the
United States, before they adjourned, passed by q
twothrds vote proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution guaranteeing for all time to come slavery
in the States. The proposed amendment passed the
House by 135 to 65, and the Senate by "a to ~.
The people Of this County and State have been told
that the Republicans intended to abolish slavery in
the States and to reduce the whites to an equality
with the blacks; and about the time, soon after
the people were thus told, the amendment referred
to was passed by Senate and House controlled by
the black Republicans. The following is the joint
resolution, with Mr.. Corwin's amendment:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatices of the United States Of Ameriea in
Congress assembled (tuothi'~s Of both Houses con-
eurring) That the following article be proposed to
the Legislatures of the several States an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States,
which, when ratified by threefourths of said Legs-
latures, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as
part of said Constitution, viz:
Art. XII No amendent of this Constitution, hav-

citizens and those described in section second of the
first article of the Constitution as all other per-

recognize that relation within its own limits, or
shall be valid without the assent of every one of the
States composing the Union"
Corwins amendment:
"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution
which will authorize give to Congress the power
to abolish or interfere, within any State with the
domestic institutions thereof including that of per.

fWe We learn that Mr.. Bell, of Tennessee, and
Mr. Glmer, of this State, were offered seats in Mr..
Lincoln's Cabinet. Mr.. Bell replied that under the
circumstances he could not accept unless the incom
ing President would furnish him with written pro-
gramme of his policy; thatif this should be done,.
and he should be thereby assured that no move
ments would be made BY the President and Cabinet
inimical to his section and he should be also thus
assured that he would be able to act harmoniously
with the administration he would accept place in
the Cabinet. Aspecial programme was not furnish
ed but he was referred to the Inaugural as embody
ing the views of the President. Mr.. Gilmer, we
learn, made the same reply; but in both cases the
positions referred to were at first declined and the
terms as above given were not required until they
were pressed second time to consent to occupy
seats in the Cabinet.

calls attention to and endorses an account of the late
Union celebration in this place by correspondent
who speaks of those who were in the procession as
"a horde of tanatical howlers" The correspon-
dent also calls on "gentlemen" of the Union party
to check these "fanatical howlers." This is just
like the oligarchy. They have no respect for the
people. The great mass of the procession referred
to was composed of honest and intelligent aboring
men, and the oligarchs appeal to the "gGetlemen"
against these laboring men, When the oligarchs
find alaborng man who will them they use him
and pet him, but as soon as they done with him
they cast him adr and no longer think of or care foc
him. When such men differ with them they call
them "fanatcal howlers." and appeal to "geqtle-
men to make these "howlers know their places.
This is a specimen of the rule which would be
established if these oligarchs and enemies of the
people could have their own way. We now tell
these exclusives, who are offended whenever an
honest working man happens to "come between the
wind and their nobility" that the People have the
power in this State, and that it would be well for
them to understand and act accordingly. We are
not in South Carolina but in North Carolina, where
an honest working man is as much entitled to his
opinions, and just as good as the owner of Bank
stock or Of hundreds Of negroes-aye, better by
far than the giddy-brained upstairs who would de-
prive them of freedom Of action and Of Speech and
many of whom, by the way, have never earned a

garchs who are at the head of the disunioh party,

Use them. They are very coed people as long as
they can lead or drive them through the agency Of
