WHY IS IT ?-When gentlemen deprecrte party
spirit and at the same time act the partizan, ask
oursclf the question: "why is that men are so ncon-
sistent" We could but notice the action of some
clamorous mo party men" at the ballot box on
Wednesday they would cry "no party" but not
only themselves vote the Electoral ticket (the before
breakfast secession partizan ticket) that did not
have Col. Browns name on it. but poke it at others
in preference 30 the one with Brown and Graham
on Titus evncing desire to defeat Col Brown,
at least. And why? What is his offence? Is he
wanting in patriotism, They dare not insinuatei'.
The only objection they can urge against him il,
that he did not come out for secession and civil
quite as soon as they did-that he told them seces
sion led to civil war, and he preferred to avoid it by
an honorable and :micable adjustment ofdficulties
if it could he done, and also preferred to try to geta
peaceabe settlement before jumping heedlessly into
blood neck deep. This is the monstrouS "crime"
for which it seems they can never forgive him or
any man who concured with him. But why so
many Of these mo party patriots found outside OF
the tented field Directing to Col Browns patriotism?
Older and poorer men THAT concurred with Col. b.
than two thirds of the wonderfully wise Of
his patriotism are in the field of blood What
his enemies younger men, doing out of it? lie
shouldered his musket in the last war, though
boy, and marched to defend his Country-and could
he call back few years, he would now HE to the
battle field to defend the South-nor would he first
pause to abont for an Office as condition OF
his going into the war; Nor, when in the field,
would he be found plotting scheming and begging
for soft and fat place in the Army, like some
men We wot Of who were going to play the ID
with the Yankees before the war!-NiLton Chronicle.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, Superior Court of I'm,
CURRITUcK COUNTY, jFdH Term, A. D, 1851
The Grand Jurors for the County of Curritvc,
respectfully present, that although conceived IN
spirit of justice and humanity the law commonly
known as the stay law passed at the late session Of
the Legislature, is not only incapable of accom-.
pshing the ends designed by its trainers but is the
of relieving the poor soldier enlisted in his country
cause, it really Expresses him by preventing the
collection of debts due him at home, upon which bc
relied for the support Of his wife and children while
ne encountered the hardshps and dangers of the
field; and that, in Short the wrongs and injustice
OF the said law are infinitely greater than any ad
vantages that can possibly flow from it.
The Grand Jurors aforesaid do, therefore respect.
fully petition the Convention Of the State of North
Carolina, soon to assemble, to repeal alter or mod
ify said law, to the end that individual faith and
credit-the only foundation of State faith and
credit-may be preserved, and healthy tone be
gwen to the business transactions of the people at
large. (Signed,)

plause.) My father was a revolutionary
soldier, and he fought two years and six
months in order to gain the independence
of this country. had two uncles who
fell in the battle of Brandywine, and an
other who was the private secretary of
General Washington during the Revolu-
tion. But all my father left me was the
boon OF liberty and freedom, and l have
always considered that this was the best
inheritance that father could leave to
his child. (Applause.) 1 must also say

while the other states had other great
interests which could not be lightly aban-
doned. 1t would be for the interest of
the coast states to have free trade in
manufactured goods but how would
that operate on the mechanical and man

Sufferings in Kansas.

The following letter from Gen. S. G..
Pomeroy, dated Atchison, Jan. 3, is ad-
dressed to the chairman of the New York
Relief Committee
"To-day has been full of interest to
US. Scores of teams from the Nesho
country have come to-day--trod their
weary way for eight days, and have
come through the severest storms of the
season. Mr. L. G., from Geneva, AL
len County, came with cattle in nine days,
through snow and ice--his cattle lame,
his own feet, out at both sides and ends
Of his shoes, had been frozen, and as he
walked literally left footprints of blood.
Said l, "You have had hard time"
YES, but / was the best able Of any
one of US to come"
"You must have pair of shoes" He
looked me earnestly in the face, and
said, alt won't do for me to take them
there are others who need them more
than do"
And then he told me tales of sorrow
and suffering until ! felt obliged to close
the scene. I-found that this young man
came TO Kansas from near Rochester,
n. Y was member of the Congrega-
tional Church, Rev. Mr.. Nortbru3, pas
tor. He told me isfather died when
he was boy. He "Ionged in boyhood
for farm ! and had now got one that
just suited him, and ''could not give it
up for one drowth." He told me of
whole families who lived on sorghum
seed bread, and ground it in a coffee mill
by hand.
1t was with difficulty could make
him take any thing for himself, he was
so anxious to take everything for the
poor folks at Geneva. While am wri-
ting this, he is sleeping soundly by my
stove in this office, covered only by his
travelling blanket. This is the first time
he has slept in house for nine nights,
during which time the thermometer has
been below zero nearly every night; but
the story of the mans hardships is only
similar to a hundred others, and not the
first man has complained to me word.
If | can give them bread they seem sat-
isfed and even happy.
My dear friends in New York, am
convinced that there is no distress like
hunger There is despairing sorrow in
a household that are crying for bread
which no earthly anguish can equal To
feel that one is dying Of hunger is hell
Of horrors. But to save this | am daily
sending off to the interior over thirty
loads of provisions. Through the gem
erosity Of our friends in the states, am
daily feeding more men than the whole
American army"

bring the states farther apart than they
now are? Let me again correct an err
ror which the Republican papers insist
upon reproducing, namely, that forced
loans, demands upon private property,
&c, have been imposed upon people
here. There have been no demands
made by the state, or by mobs, upon any
property, not its own. No excessive
taxes have been levied. That the taxes
will be large the present year, no one
doubts, but that any such means TO raise
money as demandins sreeine euuls ffom
individuals, and taxing men of wealth
under threats of denouncing them as
disaaected in case of refusal to pay,
is an unqualified falsehood. The same
is the case with regard to the SIG tax
on negroes. No such tax is known
here.
Since | have begun TO correct misrep-
resentations, may as well add that the
soldiers in the service of the state have
had no lack Of provisions. The first
day or two of their being at Morris
Island, there was the usual want of sys-
tenn and management incident to an en-
tirely unexpected state of things; this
is all the foundation for the story of des-
titution of provisions among them. Pro-
visions are plenty at reasonable prices.
A gentleman who keeps large hotel told
me that no considerable change had &C.
Cured in the cost of provisions these two
months. Mine host of the Mills House
does not exibit on his table any signs Of
famine in present or future prospect.
Coal is scarce and $14 per ton. But
we have any quantity of wood at reason
able rates"
The folloing letter was received from
Augusta, Georgia, within few days
by mercantile house in Philadelphia,
accompanying an order for goods. it is
very opportune, considering that the Sc
cession ordinance passed within five days
of its date. The writer is a native of
Georgia, and is not one Of the larger
class Of dealers:
AUGUSTA. january Ia. 1861.
Gentlemen: Please be particular to
send the above bill of goods as directed
via Savannah, as ! do not know what
those deranged people of Charleston, S.
c., will feel disposed to do. l am sorry |
for my country. But hope all things
will come right after while, as the few
states that will secede will be obliged to
come in again after a while.
Yours truly, &C."
