Stanly should unfortunately reach Raleigh, we thu
he should remember, in his treatment of our ns!4

From the Raleigh Register Of December !, 1851
WHY SHOULD NORTH CAROLINA SECEDE
Let US say few plain and dispassionate WOrt''
the above text South Carolina, or rather CT
lima" % thinks the Union is curse, and thtI
dissolution would be blessing "CarOliRd
ceived the news of Lincoln's election with MI
Joy as did the State of Massachusetts,, because
thought that election furnished her with the 10
sought pretext for destroying the Union. But
US see how it is with North Carolina. Previous
the Presidential election, would not any man
proclaimed this Union a curse have been hin;
driven from the stump by the curses and exc;
tions of nine-tenths of his hearers? Most ASSURED
L., . - al fha npmOfrl
protested to love the Union, and deplOre its desI
ton. Was the news of Lincoln's election reo'IT
here with joy? No, it was not, but on the cCnl
~, everybody heard it with sorrow. Such @l
the dissimilarty between the two States, why SOU
North Carolina seeede because State which iso -
her existence is about to secede? No man ID y"
Carolina can say that the Union is or has Oe'l
curse TO him, and tell the truth. Every sane u
knows that the Union has been the source OIL I y,
merable blessings. Why then leave it to emu,
on an unknown sea, without charts or sOuDIl:
Because "Carolina ID says you mustY Inc n% I
Carolinian who has no State pride sufficient ~
him Indignantly spurn any attempt OF our oOg1.,
neighbor to dragoon this into treason and c'n y.
is bastard SOC of the soil on which was Dr.

tyranny, and we would resist Carolina" Y ~
ny in the same spirit that the linen OF 70 10
ed British tyranny. Who can read the SyHYr
of Gov. Gist's message which we publish W. "
without pronouncing it most arrogant p''''
ton? ,.s,
But let us say to those who desire that tDs IN
shall secede, why not await the operations o. ~
now in progress at the North? The tone "
