Compromise, Union, Etc.

Those sanguine individuals who think that
compromise can be effected and the Union
saved should ponder we'll the language of Lin
coin and Davis uttered in their late speeches.
Lincoln says no compromise and Davis says no
compromise; the extreme North and the extreme
South are alike opposed to concession, compro-
mise or settlement Lincoln and the Republl-
cans are for c0erci0n, while Davis and the pro
visional Government are for res1stance- All
that the border or middle Statas can do then,
it seems to us, is to act pacficators in bring
ing about peaceable separation 1t is folly to
talk about saving the Union now, and the

A DEgnified President!

The telegraph now SO busy in keeping the
world posted concerning the movements of
Abraham Lincoln brings us the following:
At North East station a flag inscribed Fort
Sumter" was carried right up to where lin
coin stood, bat he did not to take the
hint, and made no alluSion to it in his few re
marks. At the same station Lincoln took oc-
cason to state that during the campaign he
had received letter from Il young girl of this
place, in which he was kindly admsnished to
do certain things; and among others to let his
whiskers grow, and that, as he had acted upon
that piece Of advice, he would now be glad to
welcome the fair correspondent, if she was in
the crowd. In response to the call Il lasSie made
her way through the crowd was helped on the
platform and kissed by the President
Here is dignity for you. :" \ laSsie," don't
say whether white or black but we suppose
she was white, is hugged and kissed by the
President elect of this great nation before mul-
titude of vulgar spectators at wood station on
a railroad. Rugged and kissed, and they had
never met before. Such indecent exhibitions
are not tolerated even on the stage in Paris or
Madrid before the public gaze. And the thou
sands who saw the rough, uncouth rail splitter
hug and kiss the infatuated "lassie looked on,
admired and applauded. And these are the
puritancal devils whose piOus souls and pufv
hearts revolt at the enormities of slavery. Had

triumphal march to or from prize fight the
public might have tolerated it for the world

beastly morals and social depravity, but such

proves that he is morally and socially as well

The people of North Carolina and OF the
border slave States are now called on to choose
between a Northern Confedcracy antagonis
teal to slavery, and a Southern Confederacy
favorable to it-between Lincoln and Hamlln
and Davis and Stephens, and between con
dition of independence and equality in
Southern Confederacy, and insult, indignity
and inequality under Black Republicanism.-
The Black Republicans in Congress not only re-
fuse to make concessions but urge war to the
knife upon the seven seeded States; Greely
and Lincoln and all the other leaders of that
fanatical party declare that the South only
having sinned, the South and not the North
should make concession.
Virginia disparing of the Republic will go
out North Carolina too must go out, and so
must all the border slave States if they would
prevent revolution and civil war, results which
must follow attempt to coerce the South
This State should not only decide III favor of
a Convention but they should elect men to the
Convention who have the ability and the moral
courage to meet the great crisis.
