OF course that was meant for US, but the Journal

such things "If any citizen takes the liberty Of

told him that if he really thought so he owed it to
himself to leave the State, and we added with some
emphasis, Go! We expect to stay, for we think
the State did not "disgrdce" herself; but thos.
who think she did are in no frame of mind to make
good citizens, and they ought to leave. As thew
pass along on their journey to the "Confederate

UNcoNPLIMENTARY.-Thed isunion organs pretend
that the people did not understand the question on
which they voted at the State election of the 2Sth
ult, and moreover that they deceived by tele-
graphic dispatches sent from Washington on the
eve of the election and extensively published and
circulated in Extras. As we received no such dis
patch and published no Extra, we may leave it to
those who did to justify their conduct, as they are
abundantly able to do But there is one view of
the subject that the disunioniss do not appear to
have taken. 1t is this: Union dispatches were sent
from Washington by Messrs. Morchead, Glmer and
Vance. Disunion dispatches were sent by Messrs.
Bragg, Clngman, Winsow, Ruffin, Craige, Branch,
Reid, Barringer and Davis These were all issued
from the disunion press at Raleigh and some all
OF them from similar presses at Godsborough and
Wilmington, and perhaps other places, whilst no
Union dispatch was issued at Goldsborough or Will
mington or, as we believe, in any town where there
was not disunon dispatch to meet it. 1t is mani
fest therefore, that the disunonists had decidedly
the advantage, not only in the number of dispatches
and the number Of the signers of the dispatches,
but also in the extent of circulation of extras Now
the point we make is this: If the people were de-
ceived as asserted could only be because they had
more faith in Messrs. Morehead, Gilmer and Vance,
than in Messrs. Bragg, Clingman, Winslow, Ruffin,
Craige. Branch, Reid, Barringer and Davis
We submit that the disunlon organs are not very
complimentary to their Senators, Representatives,
and Peace Conference Commissioners, though de.
cidedly so to Messrs. Morehead, Glmer and Vance

THE SoUTH-THE CLERGY.-A subscriber in Ala
bama whose subscription has about week to run,
and who, we suppose, has not the money to renew,
writes US to discontinue our paper to his address,
and adds:
"You take strong grounds for the Union, hence
/ don't want your paper any longer. Everybody
here is for the Southern Confederacy. Even our
preachers, almost to man are for secession"
We shall not pause to argue the point with this
Southern madcap, as to whether the grounds that
: we take are strong or not. We are Union man, in
the longest and broadcast sense of that term and we
never were anything else. We have never deemed
that the overthrow of any political party suf
fcient cause for dssolving the Union
AS regards the clergy, who are preaching sermons
in favor of secession we regard them insincere hy
DOcritical and co,Oardly. They despise this whole
secession movement in their hearts-their religion
education and conscience, teach them that the Union
and Government of our Fathers ought to be pre-
served. But their bread and meat depend upoE
their favoring this miserable Southern mob, IN the
name of secession, and under the pretence only of
establishing Southern Confederacy. 1t is only
here and there in the seeding States that minis
ter has the pety, independence, and courage to
denounce this vile conspiracy to break up the Gov

TIE MISSISSIPPI STARvArIoN.-That the reports
of starvation in Mississippi are not unfounded. is
proved by the following remarkable statement from
the Brandon Miss Republican:
Major Hawkins is now on his way to the Western
States to buy corn, agent for his friends and
neghbors He showed us list of those who had
requested him to purchase for them, and also list
of those who were in a destitute condition and COM
PEELED to ask the citizens of the Western States,
through him, to give them corn to keep them and
their families from starving. The two lists compris-
ed two hundred and seventy.nine names, wanting
from twenty to five hundred bushels, and amount
ing in all to twenty-four thousand seven hundred
and thirty-Sx bushels. Most of those sending are
responsible men, but they cannot raise money to
pay for it, and it is the intention of Major Hawkins
to lay the facts before those who have for SALE
and try to induce them to sell corn credit until
next fall

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF AFFECTIoN.-The Pha-
delphia North american records the following sngu,
lar case: ain compartment of the cage in which
the animals perform at Van Amburgh's beautiful
menagerie in Chestnut street. is huge, tawny Ash
attic hon. His roommate is black female tiger
The tiger is small compared to the regal lion, but is
highly valued as a geological curiosity, and the only
specimen of the black tiger in this country. She
was purchased by Mr.. Van Amburgh some two
years ago. and has lived with the lior ever since
The attachment between the two is something re-
markable. When other animals are in the same
cage, and any aront is offered to the little tiger
she runs under the belly of the lion, and woe be to
any animal that dares approach her. No matter
how hungry he may be, the lion never touches his
share of their daily meat until his little chum has
selected her share and even this he never entirely
consumes until certain that she has had enough
All the animals as fat as moleS; but this back
tiger is aldermanic in her proportions; and no REM
edy exists for the matter. She has been twice re-
moved from the lion; but until she was returned
the generous beast would take neither food nor rest
while the frantic manner in which he dashed at the
bars was sufficient warning that further deten-
ton of the tiger would be dangerous matter
Should his mate die, the lion would probably pine
to death. Once when she was taken awav lioness
was substituted The lion instantly fell upon her,
and at a single bite broke her spine and crushed
some of her ribs. Careful nursing saved her life,
and she is still living but with her hinder parts i'm
movably paralyzed"

a. We would thank the Wilmington Herald
not to garble our remarks We have enough mis-.
representation to contend against without being re-
quired to submit to garblngs and suppressons of our
language. That journal of the Goth says:
Probably the good effect produced by the inaugu.
raj in North-Carolina witnessed by the follow
ing editorial paragraphs from the Raleigh Standard
of March 9th
1--WE approve portions of it and we disapproye
other portions. 1t is not war message 1t is not
strictly speaking, a Black Republican message. It
is not unfrendly to the South"
What we said was this:
1--WE approve portions of it. and we disapprore
other portions. 1t as not a message. 1t is not
strictly speaking, black Republican message; for
a0hile he recognizes sarery in the States as perpe
al, and to be interferred lcth in ana aoav
By the aboltiOnists he deliberately retrains from
pressing the main principle in his platform, to ci
tile exclusion Of the South from all the Territories
Of the Union. 1t is not unfriendly to the South
1t deprecates war, and bloodshed and it pleads for
the Union. That any portion of it will be approved
by the DiSunionIsts we have no idea. If it had
breathed violence and war-if it had claimed the
government for :he North exclusively, and had
threatened the South with subugation, the Dis
unionists would have shouted for Joy, as they did
in Charleston when they learned that Lincoln was
elected for they would then have been sure of the
attainment of their darling purpose, the permanent
and final disruption of the Union"
The omission by the Heard, as the reader will
perceive, is material

New YoRK ON SLAVERY IN THE SrArEs-Goy.
Morgan, through his private secretary, Nh. Doty,
transmitted on the 21st instant joint resolution OF
Congress, proposing to the several State Legisla-
lures article amendatory of the Constitution, pro-
viding tina: no amendment shall be made to the Con-
stituton which will authorize or give to Congress
power abolish interfere within any State with
the domestic institutions thereof including that OF
persons held to labor service. Such amendment
to be valid when ratified by threefourths of said
Legislatures.
In transmitting the resolutions the Governor says:
"The amendment proposed is one which will COM
mend itself to the Judgment while it conforms to
the sentiment Of the people of the State, who on all
occasions have avowed the doctrine of the right OF
the States respectively to control their domestic in.
situations in such manner as they may judge most
conducive to their prosperity and happiness. While
New York is unalterably opposed to the institution
of slavery within her borders, and is unwilling
to submit to any external interference with her IN
ternal policy she is unqualiedy in favor of extend
ing any proper constitutional guarantee desired by
her sister States against the exercise of any power
to interfere with abolish the domestic institutions
therein. An amendment to the constitution such
as is now proposed would be accepted by the border
States as an earnest of the good faith Of the North
ern States to preserve for them for all time their
constitutional rights. would respectfully and earn
estly recommend the adoption of the resolution
herewith communicated"
Gov. Morgan is black Republican.

A TENNESSEE REMoNsTRANcE.-The Nashville
Tenn.) Republican Banner distinctly warns the
Louisiana secessionsts that the border States will
consent to the imposition of duties upon their
produce at New Orleans. We copy a passge from
the Banners article
because the Convention of Louisiana, organized
in defiance of the will of well-ascertaned majority
of the people, have declared that State be foreign
to Tennessee the Tennessee farmer is denied the
right, secured to him by the constitution of his
country, to carry the products Of his land to New
Orleans, deposit them on the levee, and exchange
them there with the planter for the sugar and mo-
lasses needed for the use of his family, unless he
submits, he descends the Mississippi to petty and
annoying regulations established by usurpers and
tyrants, in violation of right inherent in him by
the law of nature ITSELF and unless he pays into the
Golfers of this Baratrian ogarchy such imposts
upon the fruits of his labor it may choose to
tort to maintain a standing army of mercenaries
and to raise salaries for men who seize upon the
powers of government by violence, and dare not
submit their doings to the trial of the ballot box"

notorious that much dissatisfaction exists among the
