THp NORTHWEST.
From Atlanta Intnliigencfr, Jan. 201
The resolutions introduced by Mr.. Foote in
congress bearing upon reconstruction of our
Government with the North western States
we desire now sulemnly to protest against
and we trust they will be tabled by the Con.
feorrate Congress, whenever they ara taken
up TO he considered. We ara fighting this war
for Southern independence and for q Govern.
ment of Southern States, recognizing African
slavery rs an institution orda med of God, ben.
cfcial to mankind. a necessity in our social
and political relations States Hence the
admission of any Free States into our Union is
not only repugnant 10 us, but 1t will b. only "a
continuance OF that evil which has brought on
the war, and which to get rid Of We are now
hghting. If the Northwestern States should
shake OFF the North and East, and set up Tor
themselves new Government, and desire to
re at peace with the South, no barrier will BIZ
placed IN their way by our Government, and
We snail be willing TO treat with them an
Independent Government, in peace, as friends,
la ar, As foes.
NORTH CAROLINA CoSTUMACIOUs
From the Richmond Wing, January 2S.l
We had hoped the I.egis iature of North Car.
olina would have reassemhlrd with mare lib
eral and conciliatory views. We know we
nave Confederate authorities who have too
little regard for the feelings of others; but thny
are upon US. and our whole is at stake We
must for the present bear and f0rbear; our
safety demandsit. We earnestly trust that the
North Carolina Legislature, in view o! the vast
interests dependent on harmonious action will
DO nothing to bring the State and Con f,drra:s
authorities into collision. However provoked,
we nave no time and cannot afford to HrangIe
among ourselves now. Let us postpone per-
sonal and party gre yances to another aud N ore
distant day. The first, the great duty Of every
true southerner is to put furth all his energies
Tor the overthrow OF our impiacable and bar
barous enemy.
We assure our friends in North Carolina tn at
we who sympathize with them in the wrongs
or sights they have received, cannot sympa-
thiZe with them in any measure that may tend
to impair the efforts OF the common govern.
ment for the common safety. The time will
come for the redress Of all domestic grievances;
but TILL then, and while foreign foe is thraat-
ening us with subjugatien, let US, with united
hearts and hands, uphold the sacred cause
