A Monarchy Proposed.

A Monarchy Proposed. >. ~. So.
The senior Editor of the Wilson Ledger in his
paper of April I'd says: ',..;i. II. !.Ss} Z.
" But whittier are we now drifting 1--WE that re.
main on either portion Of the wreck To some kind
OF centralized government We think. Monarchy
yes, monarchy government with some perman-
ency OF office attached to the rulers, government
in which less rotation in office shall create more
tangible responsibility, government not based up
John Randolph, the live loaves and two small
hshes. or, in the language Of the younger Adams,
the cohesive attraction of public plumber" but
government aoiM a permanent and responsible head,
with Constitution that can easily adapt itself to
the exigences of the times, and SO long as it does
exist remain involate. Are we to be deprived Of
any Of our existing liberties? None; we shall have
equal liberty, and greater security With an Arts
tocracy? No more than we have always had,-an
Arlstocracy of intellect and talent All we advocate
is permanent and responsible government in which
the people can have entire confidence"
The foregoing furnishes food for reflection. The
Ledger has been Democratic paper; it is now in
the interest of the monarchica1 party. 1t is duo to
the junior Editor Of the Ledger to state that he pro-
tests against the monarchical views of the senior.
De BOWS Recieao is the recognized organ among
periodicals of the disunion leaders. The Reuie,o
for March, 1851, contains an article on government
from which we make the following extract
"This brings us to the true origin and nature Of
all government. All government begins with usur-
patton, and is continued by force. Nature puts
the ruling clements upper most and the masses 6elosc
and subject 10 those elements Less than this is not
government The right to gouern resides Dith a
Gerry small minority the duty to obey is Inherent
in the great mass Of mankind"
See De Bows Reuie0 for March, 1861, page 300.
We denounce these sentiments as British sentiments.
They are at war with the principles on which our
government is based. Well may the senior Editor
of the Ledger ask whittier are we drifting?" II
the disunon leaders could have their way we would
drift first to disunion and then to anarchy, and an.
archy is the parent Of monarchy. Again We say
"eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"

PROSPECTS OF AN EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss.-1f
the administration should decide to call an extra
session of Congress- the House would stand thus
Republican, los; opposition, 1O0-a majority for
the administration of five. The States which have
seeded are entitled to thirty members and
they were represented at Washington the republi-
cans would be in minority. In Rhode Island and
Connecticut the opposition has gained four members,
and in the next Congress fifteen republicans will be
replaced by oppositionsts No more decided express
sion Of the sentiment of the country could be desr
ed than these Congressional elections. In Connec.
ticut especially, the fight was hand to hand-a duel
Ia outranee; and it is quite absurd for the 1ri6-
une to say that the republican voters were kept
away from the polls by the snow storm That the
new Congress will develope radical change in
Northern opinion cannot be doubted by any calm
observer of current events. That the calling of an
extra session would result in the utter discontinue
of the administration is also quite certain.--Nc0

TEE CAUSE OF UN1oN.-A friend in Wilson (says
the Ad vaIorem Banner of Monday will pardon US
for publishing the following extract from letter to
u.s. 1t is too appropriate for the times to be with
held. He says: ~.
1.-THE Union men, though few in this county, are
of the opinion that q reaction is, slowly though,
taking place even in this stronghold of seces-
sion believing that this same feeling for the preser
walton Of our country and the interest of its people
are growing in every county of this State. There
fore, looking to the causes which have led to the
present distracted condition of affairs in our once
happy and prosperous nation; and believing that
these results have been effected by an unpatriotic
minority, fanatical party North, and a like party
South, termed extremists and, further, believing
that there is eaven enough in the true men of both
wings of the country to save it from war, bloodshed
and final destruction, in restoring fraternal feelings
by an honorable adjustment Of all our troubles;
therefore, it is suggested to you, W. W. Holden and
others the proprety Of calling State Convention,
to meet in Raleigh at an early day, for the purpose
of adopting platform Of principles for the Union,
or Democratic Union party, which ever should be
adopted, by which to meet the disunion, secession
or States Rights party in the ensuing Congressional
elections in this State These questions of difference
must be discussed, and when they are the change
will soon be effected IN favor Of the old Union Demo-
cratic party. -
The Union Democrats at the North are making
rapid Roadway in the elections there. With that
party in the North, sound on the question Of South
ern institutions and the Democratic Union party
South in 1854, they could not fail TO triumph with
the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas for President These
are casual suggestions for future consideration. In
this District the Union men stand now No chance.

The South Carolina Volunteers.

The Charleston Courier of Tuesday last,
furnishes the following CRAFTY ing mleIli.
gence relative to the Carolina troops. now
| 10 this State THE intelligence from the
seat of war has infused IL stimulus into our
troops that will yet tell with terrible elect
on our foes. An almost simultaneous offer
has been made from the volunteer regi.
ments now in camp, to enter the CUnfeder-
ate States service, and proceed at once to
Virginia.
Col NJ. Jenkins Regiment, eleven hun.
dred strong, which has been in camp aud
on Sullivan's Island drilling for several
weeks, will be mustered iu;o service very
soon by Assistant Adjutant General ID. X.
Jones, e. S. A., and will start for Virginia
in day or two.
Col. Cash's fine Regiment, at Florence,
nearly nine hundred strong, are also ready
TO start for the scene Of action.
Col. Bacon's Regiment, eight hundred
strong. now encamped near Aiken, are ready
for dePa rture at II moments notice.
Col. ilamptou's Legion expec, to move
early this week.
Col. Williams, Col. Hagood's and Col.
Rion's Regiments have almost unanimously
volunteered and been accepted !; besides
which, other offers Of men and means have
poured in upon Gov. Pickens and Gen.
Beauregard. In less that ten days these
noble regiments will be ON the march for
the Old Dominion.
Lieut.. Col. Blandng's Battalion, now on
duty at Morris Island, will be relieved from
that post in day or two. aud stationed a,
Summerviile, 5. c."
Besides the troops already under arms in
the State, other Regiments are being
| formed for the Confederate Service. Col.
John Cunningham, Of Charleston, propose.
to raise legion for immediate service, 70
consist Of eight companies Of infantry, two
OF rlfemen and ono of flying artillery. The
Mercury says that portion of the infantry
has already offered, and the Colonel is con-
fdent Of success.
Col. Orr is earnestly engaged in the Up
per Districts, in raising Regiment OF in
fantry to serve the Confederate States du.
ring the war. The Pickeus Courier. Of a
late date, says {: "Col. Orr is the man TO:
such IN enterprise. His ability is unques.
toned. and his resources great. His 20.
sition, too, will be Of great advantage to
those who may wish to go into the service
under him. Already n number of compan.
les have responded gai!antly to Col. Orrs
cali, and others are forming for the same
purpose"
These, with other instances that nigh,
be mentioned, furnish abundant evidence
that our gallant State will readily and
promptly respond to any requisition thai
may be made upon her in the impending
