The Assaults of the Hinglish Horgan ON Col.

The Assaults of the Hinglish 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 Nothings in Harnett said something
about sending him to the United States Senate in
place of Mr.. Clingman, 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, we take this occasion to. state
that 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 HingliSh Rorgan sneers at Col. Browns pa
triotsm. Decent and honest people will know how
to estimate such a sneer from such quarter.
The disunon clique in this City, who control the
HiHglish 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.

ing the public mind against the influence of his
speeches. This hope is vain. The contemporary and
friend of Jackson is not to be Senced by any efforts
on the part of the dsunonists, nor 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-day's issue
from the Washington Constitution, in reference to
the military despotism President Buchanan is per-
mitting-State Journal
Mr.. Buchanan is neither establishing nor permit
ting military despotism. The charge is a SANDER
on a venerable and worthy patriot and the perpe-
traitors of the SANDER a couple of naturalized
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 a new batch of English emissaries.
Wecall the attention ofthe Democracy of North Car
DINA to the fact that the organ of the diSunonists
in this City is bitterly assailing 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

WESDELL PHILLIPS On SEcEssioN-He Nftr9o,ciy
Escapes q -H16-Wenle Phillips in his di>rlninn
speech at Boston Monday, charged Seward with
having attempted to gain by conservatism what he
failed to secure by abolition-the Presidency
Phillips chief argument was that disunon was
desirable because it will abolish slavery. lie called
upon the North to tell the South what they really
mean, namely abolition Any compromise
made by Congress would not affect the Northern
heart and conscience. He argued the North would
gain by disunion, and used the following language:
Sacrifice everything for the Union ?: God for
bid! Sacrifice everything to keep South Carolina
in it? Rather build bridge of gold and pay her
toll over it. Let her march off with banners and
trumpets, and we will speed the parting guests. Let
her not stand upon the order Of her going, but go
at once. Give her the forts and arsenalS and sub
treasures and lend her jewels of silver and gold,
and Egypt will rejoice that she has departed"
Phillips began his peroration with the words L" All
hail disunIon!" lie narrowly escaped maltreatment
by the mob while going home.

Hon BEDFORD BRowN.-We have been requested
by friend whom we highly esteem, to publish
speech of Hon. Bedford Brown delivered in the
Senate on the 18th of Dec. We have to decline
doing at present for the that We have not
room for it. Just at this time there is such press

that every day taking place, that We cannot
clude the usual variety to publish whole speech of
any kind. Mr. Brown is gentleman for whom we
entertain high esteem, and whose opinions are
entitled to the respect of all He is an honest man,
and though he may differ with others to the
proper to pursue in regard to national diff

"Force Bill" and would rrsolutely oppose force
against the South rs then. He has always
been a Southern rights man. and though We may
not endorse, entirely, all his positions in the late
discussions, yet We say that the man does not live
whom we would sooner trust than Bedford Brown.

United States troops and munitions of war for
Fort Casweil Stale Journal ErtrU, Jan. Q.
Where are the troops for Fort Caswell? Echo
answers where? The above falsehood was started
for effect like of others before and since
The object is to rfiame the Legislature and hurry
the State out OF the Union. On Tuesday last anoth-
err rumor was current on streets, to the effect
that Mr.. Crittcnden's propositions had been voted
down in the Senate on Monday. The papers receiU-
ed Tuesday erening show that no rOte Of any Kind
aoas had on Mr.. Crittendens propositions Monday
1t seems that in the Senate, on Monday, Mr.. Big
Ter advocated Mr. Crittendens propositions, and that
Mr. Cameron, blac!- Republican, followed Mr.. Big
Ter and said that he "endorsed his remarks, and
would go even farther than Mr. Bigler had gone to
save the Union" This fact was not reported as tel
egraphed on Monday. The fre-eaters have no use
for such facts They tend to arrest instead of hast
ening disunion and civil war.

~ Mr.. Person concluded bis remarks on Tues
day night in the Commons in favor of secession and
in reply to Mr.. Donnell. Mr.. Donne followed
briefly, and in the course of his reply bore down
heavily on the gentleman from New Hanover Mr..
Merrimon also replied briefly to Mr. Person, repeat
ing and summing up somewhat by way of explana
ton, his speech OF former occasion. His remarks
told on the House and audience.
Mr. Person continues to advocate secession as the
only remedy for existing evils. He would break
the pitcher in order to mend it. Our opinion is that
Mr.. Person wants new pitcher.
Thus far it is an admitted fact that the friends of
a Constitutional Union in both branches of the Leg
slature have obtained decided advantage in debate
over the secessionists.

Orders from Washington /!

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 oiciouS
and arrogant in its tone towards the Legislature,
and manfests spirit of injustice and bitter hOstili
ty towards Mr.. Buchanan.
Among other things Mr. Clingman charges that
the hesitation or division" in the South, and the
delay in the State" encouraging the black Re
pubcans that the black Republicans only want
an opportunity to compel the South to submit to
DISCRIMINATION to the ertent eren G6oLshiug Stare
ry should civil war afford them tolerable preext."
Now, 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
the South, there will be none in NorthC Carolina, if
her rights should he assailed But North Carolina
will not Nericanize herself by resisting the inaugu-
ration Of Mr.. Lincoln; nor does she fear that the
black Republicans will attempt to abolish slavery
Does Mr.. Clngman suppose that any Intelligent
person in this State will credit his statement that
the black Republicans preparing to abolish
Slavery in the States? The gentleman knows or
ought to know better.
The recent Card of some of our members of Con-
greSs advising Convention, was respectful in ITS
tone, but this letter of Mr.. Clingman as good as
says to that body yOu hare been derelict in duty,
amt by your delay yOu are encouraging our enc
mics. 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 a 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.. Clingman in the Senate. With
his present views and indeed with The views he ex
pressed in his diSunion speech after he reach
ed Washington he does not represent more than
One-fourth of the people of North Carolina.
CORRECrIoN-Ow House Reporter, in the pro-
ceedings of Tuesday stated that g essrs. Fleming,
ha!lum, and Davis, of Rutherford, said that the
question was not discussed in their counties, but
That change has taken place in the political affairs
OIL the country, and they are now for secession. -
by mistake he attributed these remarks to Mr..
Davis, of Rutherford, instead of to Mr.. Davis, of
hecklenburg. Mr. Davis, of Rutherford, uttered
no such sentiments. Of course the mistake was
unlntentional
Iou urged the Governor-What right had you to
urge the Governor State Journal
We urged the Governor year ago to convene
"'c Legislature and take steps to put the State in
condition Of defence. What right had to urge
vie Governor? Every right that any other free
"1'n IN the State has. If we belonged to him, as
s'e Editor of Journal does, we might pursue diff
lerent course.

The report of the select committee of thirty-three
was taken up. Mr.. Corwin made the opening speech
and stated that the personal liberty bills harm
less, because there was tribunal to punish their
exercise. The free States ought to punish persons
for incendiary publications against the South. He
advocated the admission of New Mexico as calcula-
ted to settle the pending difficulties:
Mr.. Millson followed in reply. He argued that
the territorial question had already been settled by
Congress and the Supreme Court in favor of the
South, and that neither the election of Lincoln nor
the personal liberty bills justified disunon. He
against coercion. The question should be settled by
Convention of the people. He gave the reasons
why he objected to the admission of New Mexico.
His speech was concil;atory, and expressed hope
that peace would be restored and that the seeding
States would return.

WHAT THE STATES WERE BEFORE UNION.-Judge
Story gives graphic picture OF what the States
were before the adoption of the present Union and
what they would likely he again. if it should be dis
solved:
The most opposite commercial regulations ex-
listed in the different States in many cases. and esDec-
cially between ncighboring States there was per.
petual course of retaatory legislation, from their
ealousieS and rivalreS in commerce. in agriculture,
or in manufactures. Foreign nations did not fail to
avail themselves of all the advantages accruing to
themselves from this suicidal policy tending to COM
mon ruin. And as the evils grew more pressing,
the reSenmcnls of the States against each other and
the consciousness that their local interests were
placed in opposition TO each other daily ncreas-
ing the Of dSaffection until it became obvious
that the dangers of immediate warfare between some
of the States were imminent.
But the evil did not rest here. Our foreign
commerce not only crippled, but almost destroy
ed. Foreign nations imposed upon our navigation
and trade just such restrictions as they deemed best
to their own interests and policy. All of them had
a common interest to steal trade and to enlarge
their own. They did not fail to avail themselves to
the utmost Of their advantages They pursued a
system of the most rigorous exclusion of our ship
ping from all the benefits of their own commerce
and endeavored to secure, with bold and unhesita-
ting confidence. monopoly of ours.
The effect of this system Of operations, combined
with our political weakness were soon visible Our
navigation ruined; mechanics were in state of
inextricable poverty our agriculture was wthered
and the little money still found in the country was
gradually finding lis way abroad to supply our in-
mediate wants; and state of alarming embarrass-
ment is that most difficult and delicate of all rea-
tions-the relation of private debtors and creditors
threatened daily an overthrow even to the ordinary

ABoL11oN1sM AT DISCOUNT IN THE NoRTH.-Gar-
rison, Tappan & Co. commenced the anti-Slavery
movement in Boston, Philadelphia and New York
nearly thirty years ago. At first the doctrines pro-
mulgated by these phanthropists very dstaste-
full to the people of the North, and the abolition
meetings were broken up. In the country, how
ever, the abolitoniss sustained by the clergy,
and the movement gained strength until the radical
abotionists enabled to enunciate their treason
able doctrines without fear of popular resentment.
Their position strengthened by the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise and the Kansas rebellion, and
they were enabled to bring large numbers of hitherto
loyal citizens over to their side Then came the
Helper Book, the theory of which is that slavery
might be extinguished by the building up in the
Southern States of party hostile to the peculiar
institution of that section-said party to be COM
posed of non-slaveholders All these demonstrations
were taken by the South so many declarations OF
Northern war, and preparations were made for the
worst The time has come, however, for the entire
reversal of Northern sentiment. In Philadelphia
George w. Curtis has been politely informed that
his intiammatory lectures are not needed. In Bos-
ton abolition meetings are broken up and Wendell
Phillips goes home from church under the protection
of a combined escort of women and policemen. At

women's rightsism, and so on, Miss Susan T. An
thony, the Rev. Mr.. May and other veterans in the
attempt to hold convention, and compell-
ed to dissolve it in hurry. At New Haven Beecher
has been pelted with rotten eggs. In New York
city, the proposition of that distinguished exile from
North Carolina, Mr.. II. R. Helper, 10 lecture upon
the 1.-Two Systems of Labor" is received with so
much dissatisfaction that he has not yet been per-
mtteG to open his mouth upon the subject. Mr..
Helper may well retire to private life, and reflect
upon the destruction of his pet theory by the solid
| fact that the secession movement in the South is
more vigorously pressed by the poor whites" than
by the shareholders. If Mr.. Helper himself should
visit the South he would receive summary punish
ment at the hands of men of his own class in the
community where he formerly resided. This being
notorious fact, the Helper humbug may be &C
counted rs having quite exploded

WHAT Mr.. LINCOLN THINKS PARTITION OF
THE TERRITORIAL gentleman who visited Spring
field, Illinois, on business and who paid Mr. Lincoln
visit says that in the course of the conversation,
hafdozen strangers being present the question was
asked Mr. Lincoln if he thought the Missouri Com
promise line ought to be restored? His reply was,
that "alhogh the recent Presidential election was
verdict OF the people in favor of freedom upon all the
Territories yet personally he would be willing, for
the sake of the Union, to divide the Territory
own by that ne in the judgment of the nation it
would save the Union and restore harmony. But
whether the acquisition of Territory hereafter would
not reopen the question and renew the strife, was
question to be thought of and in some way provided
against" There is some sense in that kind of talk,
