EXCITING SCENE IN TuEATRE.-The orchestra
of the St Charles Theatre, New Orleans, were
reckless enough on the night of the I'd instant to
give at different intervals of the performance several
patriotic old airs-Yankee Doodle included-all Of
which were vociferously appau1ed. The effect pro-
duced is thus described by the Sunday True Delta
"When the Star Spangled Banner was struck up
it was Immediately and loudly applaudcd and
columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, with its refrain,
made tie house ring. One enthusiastic individual
jumped up and shouted hurrah!' and then there
was tumult. That audience evidently were on our
side, believing with that the airs should never be
ignored That's right, stick to them; never mind
what one horse politicians and place hunters say
Let all such as forget the gores of the past sing
the Aarsellaise, or any other foreign national air
let the true native and adopted American cling to
our old airs and refuse to give them up to any fac
tion, North or South. Looking around upon the
large audience at the St. Charles we recognized the
absence Of mere politicians and the presence of the
people, in whose hearts lived the lveliest recoec-
tions of the grand memories of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe and jackson Hence the en-
thusiasm when the orchestra sounded the notes of
the patriotic songs of our patriot song writer's"

In the category of Lincoln apologists, with the
Standard, we find the Fayetteville Observer, the
Salem Press, and the Raleigh Banner.-Ralsigh

We hope that the above was written in ignorance
of the meaning of the word "apologists," for it is
not true that we have made or attempted any apollo
gy for Lincoln or his inaugural. We have express
ed our opinion of its meaning and events are show.
ing that our opinion is correct and that the camor
over its "war meaning" squire hulnbug-Faystts.
uille Observer.
The Observer has given the truth in o few words
in reply to the Governors newspaper We will 60
further and say that that newspaper knew that it
lied when it charged that we had apologized for
Lincoln. Weare as much opposed to Mr.. Lincoln
and his principles as Republican as any man in
the State, but we are not in favor of revolution on
account Of his election and will do him justice
in every effort be may make to avoid bloodshed
and to preserve the Union. Mr.. Lincoln is Tile
Prssident; and as long as he acts in accordance
with the Constitution and the laws and as long as
North Carolina remains in the Union, it will be the
duty of loyal citizens to respect his authority John
Spelman, the Governors man Friday, was law
full subject Of Queen Victoria up to April last; and
yet he insults gentlemen by charging that they are
apologists for black Republican, Ifhe were worth
purchasing, some agent Of the British government,
with "secret service money" in his pocket would
buy him back from the Governor, provided that
functionary could afford to part with him.

From the National Intelligencer, 9Th. |

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE-We find the following para
graph in recent number Of the Charleston Courier,
accompanied with brief comment, meant to be
facetiOus, but which failed to he so for want of
wit:
"Mr. Lincoln has selected the National Inteli-
gencer as his organ. This is temporary arrange
ment, but we have no doubt will be made perma-
nent one"
We are sorry to find that our once conservative
and reliable contemporary, in making shipwrcck of
its long cherished political principles, has also lost
some other qualities which once marked its conduct
Its statements Of alleged fact (as in the case above
cited) are now often as inaccurate as its secession
logic is unsound.
For Mr.. Lincolns own sake we should hope that
he will have the good sense to profit by the sad
perience of his immediate predecessors so far as to
eschew all "organships."
For ourselves, not being in the habit of declining
invitations until they are Received we have only to
say that the Inteligencer has never been asked to
assume any official relations towards the Admins.
traton of Mr. Lincoln, and our regular readers need
no assurance to convince them that it will hear nc
relations towards the new Executive different from
those it has borne towards his predecessors
Whether we shall find in the Administration of Mr..
Lincoln more or less to praise than we have found
in the latter, will depend entirely upon our candid
construction of his acts-acts which we shall be
free to judge as he to originate. 20
While our hand is in, it may not be amiss to nip
in the bud another "sensation item y which we Oh
served in an evening contemporary yesterday-and
which will probably 90 the rounds-to the effect
that Of the propretors of the Intel1gencer had
been or would be appointed Postmaster of Washing
ton-a story quite as unfounded, though more rid
culous, than the Charleston assertion about the
organship.

speech. After few Introductory remarks he said:
e" Our people do not want to separate. It is the
little petty politicians that run aboutfrom cross
roads to crossroads It is they that lead and mis-
guide the people, and it is they that try to make
believe that we hate one another. 1t is false false!

For petty little schemes, for party purposes and

to these little politicians to force that impression

dissatisfied. Leave the people to themselves, and
we should live in Union, in fraternity, in freedom
and in greatness all the days of our life and our

to understand one another from section to section
That as day speaks unto day, night unto night sec
ton will speak unto section, and that we shall come
to understand from one end of the country to the
other that there will be no question as to the per-
petuity of the Union. There is not a mortal man,
there is not country in all the United States that
derive, in my Judgment any benefit from separa-
ton or dsunion To stand together is to strengthen
others greatest possible good The vision of dis
union is anarchy, disorder and ultimate war. Then
comes despotism, and instead Of Congresses and
free representation, we shall have some monarchy,
some despot to tax and burden and rule over the

Freedom of Speech Denied.

We learn from the last Beaufort Banner that W.
W. Guess, Esq, formerly Of Orange but now resi-
dent of Morehead City, was waited upon by COM
mittee in Goidsborough few days since, and threa-
tened with coat of tar and feathers. The Banner
says:
"What the alleged offence was, We know not :;
but it is safe to assume that Mr.. Guess charged
with unsoundness on the slavery question This
charge has become so common, and has been so Of
ten repeated against the very best Of the State
it is not astonishing it should be brought against
any man."
Mr.. Guess is a native of the State and slavehold-
er. He is no doubt as sound upon the question of
slavery as any person in Goldsborough. We agree
with the Banner that
"All who love law and order should frown upon
these outrages committed in the name of Southern
Rights No Southern Rights can be strengthened
or perpetuated by such MEANS and those who resort
to them are the worst enemies the South and her
institutions have.
The institution of slavery needs no such defence.
1t can be justified by the constitution of the United
States by principles of philanthropy, by public laws,
and by the word of God. ,. .. ..- -
The press at Goldsboro', and the people of that
town owe it to themselves and the good name o
their town to denounce such gross violations of law
were attempted to be perpetratedupon Mr.. Guess.
We apprehend from what We have seen and heard
that entire freedom Of speech is not permitted in
many portions Of North. Carolina. We are threaten
ed with the same reign Of terror which prevails in
South Carolina All we have to say is that the first
overt act of this kind will bring down on the heads
of the actors the most signal punishment.

THE Attorney General is now engaged in ascer-

outside of port and his labors thus far have been

enforce the collection of the revenue The ultimate
