novations you hear of as contemplated, such as
the restriction Of the right Of suffrage, cannot be
easily established. The people know their power
and are learning new lessons Of their value every
day. Armies arc far less the nurseries of des-

| There ara thousands Of AbOltiOnists in North
Carolina, and this element has been gradually
and frmty growing for many years. The large
and influential Society of Friends or Quakcrs is
here as elsewhere stoutly opposed to Slavery.
The State has numerous residents Of German
birth or ancestry, who are iDstinctively Tor

President in 1852 here than in Maryland. some
years ago an Auti-Slavery paper was pubishea

agitation which shook the State from center TO

the largest liberation of opinion and action in
this State, and the result has been progressive
and permanent development of free sentiment
ana liberal views. The people have great native
good sense; their instincts are honest and consery-
alive. The sons ofNorth Carolina who have so
numerously migrated TO Indiana, Illinois and
other Western States, have sent back O powerful
reflex influence for free institutions to the State
that reared them. These factors Of movement
aud reform cannot be destroyed. The work Of
the leayen may be arrested, but its virtue cannot
be neutralized. There will be an eventual re.
bound against the coerciye agencies which now
for the time reprcss candor of action aud express

about a dozen counties toward the eastern part
of the State, has never attempted until recently
to domineer over other interests. The western
people, who own few slaves, have been system

railroads; all property qualification for voters has
been abolished; n liberal school fund has been

Northern settlers have been sought by both
political parties, aud the non-slavehoding ele-
ment has been in other respects studiously
courted. The Pro-Slayery argument has never
been popular; and prudent stump-speakers and
editors have generally RETAINED from urging it.
There has not been that constant indoctrination
in the tenets of State Rights and the philosophy
of Secession which has prevailed VIGOROUSLY in
South Carolina and Virginia.
The people Of this State voted two to one last
February for staying in the Union. In May last
the State was rushed out by packed Conven-
