A LOYAL LAw-ABIDING CITIzEN.-John Spelman,
of the instruments Of the disunionsts, voted in
this County, in 1851 before he was naturazed, for
member of Congress and for Superior and County
Court Clerks, and for an amendment to the Const-
tuition. We have the proof of this fact before u.s.
The said John Spelman was naturazed only in
April last, in the town of Charlotte. He would not
apply to take the oath in Raleigh, where he was
known, nor in Salisbury, where he resided, but he
went to Charlotte to escape observation and scrutiny
The said John Spelman, it seems, very magnani
mously aided the people of North-Carolina in
amending their Constitution three years before he
was naturalized; and he is endeavoring to tear
down and trample in the dust the very Constitution
which he swore to support in April last.
Fellow citizens, the London Times abuses Mr..
Buchanan exults over dissolution of the Union
and speaks words of encouragement to Yancey and
other dsunionists. Beware of English emissariesl
Beware of men who deliberately break the law and
endeayor to destroy the government Beware of
the naturalIzed Englishman t0ho coted to rule you
before he ,oas naturdlized! And beware of his
masters and allies, and those who concoct dsunion
schemes in his office .r.-

FoRr SUNTER-South-C Carolina has become
part of the Southern Confederacy, and SUCH she
will not act in regard to Fort Sumter, without
sultation with the other States with whom she is
sociated 1t may be that if the Provisional Govern
ment of the South makes demand on the President
of the United States for the property situate in the
States composing the government, he or Congress
may the matter in different light from that in
which it was viewed when the demand was made
by South Carolina alone. They may, and probably
will make such demand, and it is possible it may
be complied with At any rate We think it fair to
presume that no attack will be made upon Fort
Sumter until such demand is made, and we regard
the request made by the Senator's of the seeding
States of Col. Hayne, while in Washington as indi
cative of such course. But no one can now tell
what day, or an hour may bring forth.

The SENATORIAL ELEcTIoN.-In common wit
many others we have sought for some explanation
of the causes which led to the reelection of Mr..
Clingman, when, according to the general belief
Mr. Brown could have beaten him If he had NJ
withdrawn his name We learn that Mr.. Brown
withdrawal was owing to the fact that in the earl
part of the session he and his friends had gone int
a caucus by which Mr.. Clingman swas nominated
and that he did not feel at liberty therefore to per
NIT his name to be run, notwithstanding the change
condition of things and his own earnest and adj
advocacy of the cause of Constitutional Unto
against the Clingman party. This is deeply to b.
regretted, for it has fixed upon the State for 81
years if the Union shall endure Senator who mis-
represents the State and is utterly unworthy of he
high character.--Fayette0ille O6ssrper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA
SENATE-The Nevada and Dacotah Territorial
bills were introduced
Mr.. Wilkinson presented memorial signed by
every Republican member Of the Legislature of
Minnesota, in favor of coercion and against CON-
promise. Mr.. Wilkinson urged its reception an
indication of the true sentiments of the mining and
agricultural regions of the North which was uncon-
querably opposed to any compromise with armed
traitors. Virginia and all the Southern States were
arming for war. lie was opposed to any compromise
under such circumstances.
Mr.. Rice presented a memorial from the same
State, in favor of compromise and peace.
Mr.. Seward, with other memorials, one from the
New York Democratic State Convention.
Mr.. Anthony, of r. l., called up the tariff bill.
Mr.. Hunter defended the present tariff and oppos-
ed the one. He SAID that with slight modif-
cation of the former it would bring in sufficient
revenue for an economical administration of the gov
eminent. The new bill was in favor of New Eng
land and Pennsylvania, and against the interest of
every other State.
Mr.. Anthony defended the bill.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
HoUsE-Mr Leake asked but was refused leave to
introduce a resolution for the appointment of COM
mittee to enquire whether the Superintendent of
the Census had not abused his position in sending
speeches to heads of families in Virginia and else
where.
The debate on the report of the Committee of
Thirty Three was resumed, and occupied the usual
time.

DiSunion and AID HaIoreml

The friends of ad ralorem were told last summer
in discussing the question of ad raOren that it
wrong to distract the people and g divide in the
South" whilst there was sectional party fighting
against interests Their reply was that if this
fanatica spirit at the North threatened liberties
and rights, and we should be thrown into civil
war, the necessity of changing the Constitution so
that negroes might be taxed as land, would become
painfully apparent Their prediction has proved true
Ii North Carolina is dragged by South Carolina into
dsunion and has to raise an army, that army must
be supported. To equip ten thousand men and sup
port them will cost five millions of dollars the first
year. This would require taxes seven times higher
than And it is fair to say the pou.tdr of this
military government would be not less than FIVE
dollars.
Of course money would be harder to raise than
now. The people cOuM not pay the tax, and there
would be universal bankruptcy.
Is it not manifest that we should use all consttu-
tonal means to preserve peace and the Union before
involving our people in such distresses?
