Hon. Thomas Bragg.

Mr. Senator Bragg, being in the City on visit to
his family was invited by number of his friends
10 give his views the present state of the country
He complied with the invitation, and addressed
large audience in the Commons Hall yesterday even
ing at four o'clock.
We have room now to sketch the speech, even
if we thought we could do the Senator Justice in
any sketch which we could give; but we may state
that we understood him to say that while he de-
SPARED of settlement of our difficulties by the
present Congress, he was not without hope that
they would be adjusted and the Union preserved by
the people of the States.
He thought it much better for North Carolina to
remain in the Union and seek an honorable adjust
mcnt, and he would go out only when all reasona-
bic hope had failed of obtaining our rights in the
Union; and when that time comes, if come it must,
said the Senator. we will be united people. While
Gov Bragg manifested determination to stand by
the South, and to demand all her rights, and de-
mand them promptly, he at the same time distinctly
advised against precipitate action or present seces
sion. This view, thus announced by Gov. Bragg,
will receive the approval of all conservative men.
The Senator's remarks were listened to with the
utmost attention. and his views appeared to produce
deep impression the audience
We shall notice his positions and views more at
length hereafter.

BEAUTIFULLY SAID

The following paragraphs conclude an able and in
teresting letter from Gov Sam. Houston to several
Texas gentlemen:

Federal authority" and Texas is not made the
victim of Federal wrong" am for the Union as it
is.
81 am now an aged man. My locks have become
white in tong, as l believe for the liberties of
mankind. Were young, that might look forward
10 the future, feeling that whatever danger might
come my strong arm would be at hand to defend my
family l should feel less anxiety than do at pre-
sent The years that l will have to endure the mis-
fortunes Of civil war but few. If | could feel
that with the close Of my career would end the
miseries of my race, l could share its misfortunes
with PATIENCE but to feel that the perils of revou
ton must continue; that war, with its attendant
horrors of bloodshed rapine, and devastation must
still be visited upon it would embitter my last
moments; and after living to witness the demol ton
of the best Government that ever existed, would
sink to the grave without hope that freedom would
be regenerated, or our posterity ever enjoy again
the blessings with which we had parted Let US
pause and ponder well before we take any action
outside Of the Constitution"

yesterday in considering propositions to send COM
missioners to Washington City and Montgomery,
Alabama. Sec proceedings.
Each house has passed Convention bill by a
twothrdS vote. The Senate bill restricts the Con-

provides for the election of delegates the 21st of
February; the House bill restricts the Convention
only to the basis of representation, and provides

Mr.. KALLUN OF SroKEs-Tt will be seen by the
House proceedings of Thursday that Mr.. Kallum
rose in his place and complained that the Standard
had not done him justice on the subject of secession
See the explanation of our Reporter, in our legisla

Now, it is well known here that Mr.. Kallum is
secessionist We call the attention of the people of
Stokes to the fact In advocating secession at this
tlme or in favoring it, we are satisfied Mr.. Kali
lum misrepresents his constituents, as we believe
that nineenths of the people of Stokes are opposed
to dissolution for existing The same is true
Of Forsyth; and we take this occasion to inform
the people of Stokes and Forsyth that their Sena
tor, Mr.. Waugh, is not standing up and breasting
the current of disunion as he should do.
There are other gentlemen in the Legislature who
came here Union men, but who are not resisting
the dsunon current as believe their constituents
desire them to do. As faithful sentinel on the

them as soon their indifference the subject or

W- 1t is written in the Constitution oil this State
that the legislative, executive, and supreme judi
cial powers of government ought to be forever
separate and distinct" One of the signs of the evil
times on which we have fallen may be seen in the
fact that the present Governor of this State is seen
daily in the Hobbies of the two houses of the General
Assembly, in consultation with disunionists, and
making suggestions and giving advice as to the
course to be adopted in this emergency. We make
the charge, and we challenge contradiction. When
was it ever known that Gov Graham, or Gov.
