SPEECH OF HON. JOHN PATTON

We this week publish, on our outside, the
the speech of Gen. John Patton, delivered in
the House of Representatives on April 23d,
1862, on the bill to facilitate the suppression
of the rebellion and to prevent its return"
The speech is plain statement of fsets-a
bounding in sound logical deductions-mod-
crate and conservative,yet firm in fact, it is a
document which we heartily and fully approve,
and one which is calculated to knock the
noise out of the Breckinridge leaders gener-
ally The people of this Congressional Dis
trict may indeed be proud of their Represen-
tative. He is not given to speech making,
but is a working ember-one who is willing
to do his duty-neyer absentng himself un-
necessarily from his post-and is ever ready
to cast his vote for all legislation that tends
10 the speedy suppression of the present re-
bellion, and the restoration of peace and pros
perity to the country.
We commend Gen. Patton's speech to the
attentive perusal of all conservative men in
the ssWild cat" district and also invite their
attention to the following paragraph from the
Warren Null of May 10th:
''We give herewith the speech of our men,
Der. Gen, Patton, on the contscaton of Rebel
property. While it is moderate in tone, it is
nevertheless sound in argument, true to the
convictions OF his people and displays that
practical good sense for which it's anthor is
distinguished Having been on the floor of
Congress day or two where a members true
standing is readily learned from his fellow
members and from personal observation, we
take pleasure in bearing willing testimony TO
mis- ability, fidelity and indomltable energy IN
discharge of the peoples trust. He is one of
the thorough workers. speaking little but al
ways voting right himself and seeing that the
careless ones do the same. He deserves well
OF his constituents and they will do we'll to
insist on his re-electiou.''

PRESIDENT L1NcoIYs PROCLAMATION

The Proclamation Of the President which
We publish this week, disav owing the emanci-
patton order of Gen. Hunter, did not take us
By surprise having anticipated something of
the kind, from the past conservative views
and policy OF the President. This is one OF
the most important State papers yet issued.
II affirms that the Government had no knowl-
edge of the intention of Gen. Hunter to issue
such an order--that neither he nor any other
officer had Authority to pronulgate such
document; and, whether genuine false, it
is altogether void. In giving bis views on
the question, the President puts forth an earn
est appeal to the border States, and urges
them to accept the system of compensated
emancipation offered by Congress, and de-
voutly hopes that 'sthe vast future'' will ssnot
have to lament that they have neglected the
golden opportunity.
We rejoice that he has taken this great
conservative step, and we are content to fol-
low wherever he may lead. The enemy,s of
the Administration may grumble but i f the =
can derive any comfort from this Proc lama.
tion, they welcome to it. The people
have full confidence in the soundness and
good sense of the President, and they will
acquiesce heartily in his decision in this
matter, and patiently await the final result
In commenting Oh this Proclamation, the
Philadelphia Press of Tuesday May goth, says
''We arc prompted. and encouraged in our
endorsement of TIE Presidents course by his
earnest aud headtful appeal in behalf of free
dom under tie Constitution. In nothing has
the PRESIDENT shown such high and noble quail
ipes. lie sees beyond the wavering and shift
ing clouds to the bright sun that tinges and
dispels them. Into the vast future, he points
the people of this nation. He not only sees
peace. but peace and freedom, peace and
Gonal prosperity, peace and honor, peace and
human liberty, for all time to come. Steadi-
ly with measured and undertaking tread we
approach onr destiny. Shall we go by the
dangerous and EN- barrassing path of General
Hunter, or shall we take the longer but more
pleasant path of Mr.. Lincoln 1t is not a
question Of results, but one of ways and means
The end is as sure the end OF Time and the
beginning of glory. We may differ as to the
course we shall take, but while some of our
friends go one way and some go another, but
all looking TO the one result, we prefer to fol-
low the lead of Mr. Lincoln, and trust to that
consummate wisdom and craftsmanship which
thus far have produced such happy conse-
quences.''

IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH
North Carolina Rebelling against the Con-
federacY

North Carolina Rebelling against the Con-
federacy.
The news from the old North State shows
that secession is about play ed out there.
The authorities at Richmond, who have
been in the habit of dragg ing the citizens of
this and other Southeri States before tbei r
star chamber in the most summary manner,
and executing them without trial, for enter
tanning Union sentiments, have been very un
expectedy snubbed in these unwarrantabIe
proceedings by the Governor of North Caro-
lima, backed up by the State Convention.
cit appears that jeff Davis ordered the ar
rest OF Mr.. Respess, the Mayor of Washing
ton, N u, charged with having an interview
with Gen. Burnside soon after Newbern was
taken. The Mayor was arrested in the night
time, in the most summary manner. and bnr
rled OF to Richmond in irons, where he was
thrust into dungeon, and not allowed to see
any OF his friends or receive any food or CLOTH
ing for them.
''This outrage created the most intense ex-
citement throughout the State Gov. Clark
was instructed by the Convention, now in ses-
sion IN Raleigh, to make peremptory de-
mand on the authorities at Richmond, in the
name of the State, for the Immediate delivery
OF the person oi Mayor Respess, which de-
maDd was refused by President Davis. Then
committee was appointed by the Convention
10 wait on Davis Co. and inform them that
the demand made by the Governor must be
i'm mediately complied with; otherwise the
State of North Carolina would resort to forci-
BILE measures If necessary
HMr. Respess was on trial before Davis when
Gov. Clark first made the demand for his re-
lease. Davis answered that the trial must go
on, and not until the committee made the de-
ll0OQ
This committee was also instructed to inform
JEFF. Davis that North Carolina considered
herself capable of inquring into the conduct
OF her own citizens, and that the Richmond
authorities must make no moro arrests in this
State Mr.. Respess was brought to Raleigh by

TIE WAY TO END AGITATION pas.
sage OF the Bill aboishng Slavery in the Dis
trict OF Columbia, and the Bill which passed
the House prohibiting Slavery in all the Ter
ritores of the United States, now existing or
hereafter to be formed or acquired in any way,
will, in the opinion of all candid men South
as well as North, exhaust the powers of Con
gress over the Slavery question. II the last
named bill passes the Senate and becomes
iaw,there will be no necessity for the agitation
OF the subject in Congress hereafter-there
VIII be no territory to dispute about; and as to
the States in which Slavery now exists, the
Republicans are as much opposed to Congress
sional Intervention there, as the Democrats
possibly can be. II the leaders OF the so call
ed Democracy really desire to bring the agita-
tion of the "vexed question: to an end and
remove it from the Halls of Congress, they
would approve the District of Colambia Bill,
and favor the passage OF the Bin pros ibiting
the iItroductio of Slavery into any Territory
now owned or hereafter to be acquired by the
United States.

"YcuR FARE, MISS. "A young
lady from the rural districts of Hoosier-
dom, lately visited Chicago with her
beau. Getting into city railraod car,
for the first time. she took a seat.
while her lover planted himself on the
platform with the driver. Pretty soon
the conductor began to collect fare. and
approaching the rustic maiden said:
your fare. Miss?'
The Hoosier rosebud allowed deli.
cate pink to manifest itself on her
cheek. and looked down in soft con.
fusion. The conductor was rather
astonished at this, but ventured to re-
mark once more:
Your fare, Miss?'
This time the pink deepened to car
nation as the rustic beauty replied.
Wall, if am good lookin'. you
hadn't ought to say it out loud to
folksl'
The passengers roared with laugh
ter, and the lover coming in TO see
what was going on, at once settled the
fare.
