" Orders from wasAingtoni a,H /
The last State Journal contains An extraordinary
letter from Mr. Clingman, addressed to W. H.
Thomas, Esq. We shall publish this letter in our
next but meanwhile we will say that it is oficious
and arrogant In its tone towsrds the Legislature,
and manssts spirit Of injustice and bitter hostili-
ty towards Mr.. Buchanan. : .s--
Among other things Mr. Clngman charges that
the s'hesation or division in the South, and the
delay in the State" are encouraging the black Re-
publicans that the black Republicans only want
an opportunity " to compel the South to submit to
irdomination to the eztent Of a6oshiug slase
ry should civil war afford them tolerabe pretext"
New, in the first place the "delay in this STATE" is
in strict accordance with the wishes of the people;
and in the second place, if there are divisions in
heEouth, there will be none in North Carolina. if
berrights should be asssiled. But North. .Carolina
will not Nerieanizs herself by resisting the naugu
ration Of Mr.. Lincoln; nor does she fear that the
black Republicans vii! attempt to abolish slavery.
Does Mr.. Clingman suppose that any intelligent
person in this State will credit his statement that
the black Republicans are preparing to abolish
slavery in the Statess The gentleman knows or
ought to know better.
gress advising Convention was respectful in its
tone, but this letter of Mr. Clingman as good as
says to that body, you haze been derelet in duty,
and by your delay you are encouraging our enc
miles, We tell the gentleman, once for all, that he
will not be allowed to play the Cobb and Toombs
game in North. Carolina.
Our opinion as citizen ard Democrat is, that
the best reply which the Legislature could make to
this arrogant letter would be to Immediately elect
Col Brown or some other good Constitutional Union
man to succeed Mr.. Cngman in the Senate. With
his present views, and indeed with the views he
pressed in his dsunion speech soon after he reach
ed Washington, he does not represent more than
one-fourth of the people of North Carolina.
The Assaults of the Hinslish Horgan on Col.
Brown.
The State Journal speaking for Mr.. Clingman
and his friends-or assuming to speak for them
continues its assaults on Col. Brown. 1t says
"some Know Nothngs in IIarnett said something
about sending him to the United States Senate, in
place of Mr.. Cngman, but nobody places any reli-
ance on what Know Nothing says" Now, Col.
Brown has been recommended for the Senate by
number Of public meetings, composed of gentlemen
Of both parties, but he has received no Know Moth
ing recommendations. And in addition to these
recommendations, VIC take this occasion TO- state
that we are constantly in the receipt of letters from
old line Democrats in which they express the wish
that COL Brown may be elected to the United States
Senate.
The HinglisA Horgan sneers at Col Browns pa
triotism. Decent and honest people will know how
to estimate such sneer from such quarter.
The dsunion clique in this City, who control the
Hinglish Horgan, have no doubt given orders for
these attacks on Col. Brown. That noble Demo-
cratic veteran stands up in the Senate day by day.
great breakwater against the surging billows Of
disunion; and these plotting members of a corrupt
clique feel that their only hope for success consists
in silencing Col Brown by invective, in poison
ing the public mind against the influence of his
speeches. This hope is vain The cotcmporary and
friend of Jackson is not to be senced by any efforts
on the part of the dsunionsts will they be able
to impair the confidence Of the people in his judg
ment, integrity, and patriotism.
We invite attention to the article in to-days issue
from the Washington Constitution, in reference to
the military despotisnl President Buchanan is per-
mitting. State Journal
Mr. Buchanan is neither establishing nor permit
ting military despotism. The charge is slander
on venerable and worthy patriot, and the perpc.
traitors of the slander are couple of natlralized
Englishmen whose pockets, it may be, are lined
with English gold. Gen. jackson hung a couple Of
English spies-Ambrister and Arbuthnot-in Flori.
da, in 1918; and it may be that hemp is growing
for new batch of English emissaries.
Wecall the attention Ofthe Democracy of North Car
olina to the fact that the organ of the dsunionsts
in this City is bitterly assaing Mr.. Buchanan OF
course these assaults on the President have been
made under orders from the clique who virtually
own the State Journal and its Editor, and who have
"given bonds as an evidence of the ownership re-
| ferred to.
