Disunion Meeting in Raleigh!L n
A disunion meeting was held in this City on
Wednesday night last, which was addressed by Mr..
Senator Bragg, Mr.. Senator Clngman, and Mr..
Branch 80 %. ,..--
We learn that Mr.. Branch took ground with the
disunionists out and out We told the people of
this District but short time since that he was a
dsunionst; and the proof that he IS is noso before
them. We told them in November last that Gov.
Ellis was disunionist and that fact was proved in
due time. ''s '"'5. '-''.s N' 4
Mr.. Branch, we learn, said that he had despaired
of preserving the Union since the 4th of March,
and that he scas no,c for dissolution
The people of this District now know where to
find Mr.. Branch.
We learn that Mr.. Clingman, in his zeal for dis
union and in attempt to justify the action Of the
leaders in the seeded States muated the truth of
history in relation to the action of the people of
this State in adopting the federal Constitution, and
omitted or concealed the fact that they voted at the
ballotbox to accept the amendments to their Con-
stitution in 1885, He also repeated the old declar-
alton that the issue is one of negro and white equal.
ity in North Carolina, and charged that Mr.. Lincoln
and his party are in favor of such equality He
also said, we understand, that if North Carolina
should refuse to secede he arouh leave the Stdte>~
The gentleman, then, being wiser than all North
Carolina, will carry with him when he goes stock
of wisdom before whose size and whose lustre the
wisdom of Socrates Seneca, and Solomon will at
once be diminished to less than nothing Mr. Cling
man may "leave his country for his countrys
good"-but, in doing so, he will deliberately tram
pie under foot the great principle of the right OF
the majority to rule. This, we presume, is speci-
men of Mr.. Clingmen's Democracy.
We learn that Gov. Bragg also made disunion
speech but more moderate in its tone than those Of
Messrs Clingman and Branch
"The secessionsts in despair, increase their noise
as their numbers decrease"
So says Virginia cotemporary, in aluding to
the outside pressure endeavored to be enlisted and
brought to bear upon the Convention now sitting
in Richmond. Is it not equally true with US? The
recent disorderly gathering at Goldsborough an
swers the question emphatically. Never in the po-
litical history of our State, has there been born
such ridiculous nous" from the labor of such
mountain.
We desire to call the attention Of our readers to
another fact The secession captans-those who
are admitted into their secret societies, and have
signs of recognition, and passwords and all that
knowing full we'll that their adherents will fall of,
the leaves do in Autumn, unless they continue to
agitate the public mind with Misrepresentation and
sensation falsehoods keep it up with pertinacious
ingenuity worthy of better cause. Certain Sena-
tors have made themselves particularly conspicuous
in giving circulation to rumors of what the admin
istration was doing and intended doing; and we
have yet to see where one of their sensation predc
tons has proved true, any item of their inform
alton intended to 81 fire the Southern heart" but
what turned out to be all Cannon. The fire eating
press keep up and are as unreliable to what is
really taking place. and the true situation of affairs
as they were before the election, and that is saying
no little We warn our readers of all such.
The TWO LoAss.-The eight million loan recently
offered by the U. S. Governpent, has been taken in
New York City at "a, or thereabouts. These figures
indicate returning confidence in a peaceful so-
ton Of the present troubles-the BIDS not only be-
inc made for treble the amount offered but being
aHo 2 Der cent above the sums offered in February
last How will it be with the five millions a. eight

As yet we have heard of no sales and the following
extract, taken from the money article in the New
York Herald, very efectually precudes any reliance
upon foreign capitalists. The Herald says:

laon Of 5, 100 900, no less than 1,05O00O who are
pledged to reputation, it is difficult to understand
the possibility of such an amount being raised either
in home or foreign markets. This feeling is ncreas-
ed by the fact that indirectly the entire population
may be considered TO have sIgnifed their approval
OF reputation as a principle, by having selected
Colonel Jefferson Davis as their first President
