THE FACTS IN THE CASE.


What is the contest with all the States tl.at
are now bonded together in what are called
he Confederate States? 1t started in insur-
rectiOn. Ii grew ou: 10 be rebellion, and il
has become what?-a revolution. It carries
with it all the rights of revolution. Our
Government has dealt with it upon that
ground. When it blockaded its ports, it
dealt with it as a revolution. When they
sent out cartels Of an exchange of prisoners,
we dealt with this people no longer as an in
surrec'inn of traitors but as an organized rev.
o!ution that has set up government for IL
Sc + upon The territory of the Uniterl States.
Could any may say to M, "Sir, why, tber,
you acknowledge the right Of revolution III
these men," ] beg yeur pardon sir, I only &C
knowledge the fact of rcvolut tinn-what has
happened; and l l"ok things plainly in the
face. | do not dodge because they are IN
pleasant to my sight. Again ! say. find
this revolution, and these men there are no
longer erring brethren. They are alien enc
mics. They have waged war against us, at.
tempted to make alliance against US. and de-
maudrd to come into the family of nations
Il is not grown TO suceesslu! revolution un-
Ill acknowl, dyed. Pardon me, was speak
ing theoretically, as 1 matter Of law. 4 rev
olution can never be successful until acknowl-
edged by the parnet State. And now | am
willing to unite with you in saying this Is a
revolution which we never viii acknowledge -
Why ha7e been 81 careful in bringing you
down to this distinction? Because in my
Judgment, certain logical consequences follow
fro, - 1l.,rx 1F ~
lem in Euclid Ii these men are alien enc
mics, how docs ii effect our political action
The very mnsAent we are ai war-as l insist,
with foreign country to all inteEts and pur-
pOscs--how can any man stand up here and
Esay he is or the side Of that foreign country.
None but an enemy. Fhis is the way to get
this matter right. 4 t5an must be either for
his country or against it. He cgrnot be
throwing impedments all the time in the say
of the progress Of his country, under the pre-
tense that he is helping some other portion Of
his country. If man thinks he must do
something to bring back his erring brother,
let him take his musket and go down and try
it in that way. If he still is of different
opinion, and thinks that is not the best way 10
bring him back, and be can do it by persua-
sive talk, let him come down with me to Louis
lana, and will set him over into Mississippi
and if the rebels don't feel for his heart-strings
and not in love, will bring him back. But
let him not stay here. Let US say to him
choose ye this day whom ye will serve. If the
Lord thy God by God, serve God. If Baa
be God serve him. No man can serve two
masters-God and Mammon.

There is no doubt that Georgia has two regiments
rlsed out of conscripts, and the act raising these
troops expressly provides that the military laws of
the Confederate States shall give way when they
come in conflict with the law of Georgia. There
was such provsionin the ten regiment bill which
passed the Commons and was defeated in the Sem
ate Of this srate s.s ...- .os..
1t makes no difference, - far as the argument is
concerned, whether Gen. Floyd has 81, ,0e0 or $500
men, We know he has conscripts, aud North Car
olna conscripts at that for We have been informed
by a+member Of our spte Legislature that his re-
sruiting officers obtained, BY speech-making and

, Loyalty of Nortl-Garo.iaa.


Mr.. Gather Submitted some excellent remarks in
the House Of Representatives; on Tuesday last on
introducing the resolutions passed by our Legisla-
ture vindicating the loyalty Of our State: He was
replied to by Mr.. Lander, who o-made some extraor-
dinsry statements which were justified neither by
the occasion nor the truth Of history. He en-.
6orssd the conseripion act in the brosdest terms
and stated that he snstAinsdin this by his con.
stituents. If Mr.. Lander desires to make this an
issue in the nsft contest for Congress he will see
whether be is sustained OF not. He also said that
the Democratic party Of this Slate had always up
held the right Of secession as Constitutional right
We are better Democrat than Mr. Lander. ever
was or will ever get to be; and We are prepared to
show, from the resolves of our State Convestions,
and fram tho files Of the Standard, that what he
says about the right Of secession is utterly un-
foHfdef sss =. &s ~ s''
n. Mclean also took part in nthe debate. What
did he sayi Hb remarks are not reported in the
Examiner. Did he say that the conscript law is
universally popular in his Distrieti. Let us have

and Lander in our,next
1t is very mort,fying to see in the Richmond pa
pers such headings as these: The loyalty ofNorth-
Carolina vindicated This humiliation of the noble
old State in the presence Of her sisters, is owing to
the efforts made by Destructive leaders to produce
the impression on the.ppblic enemy that portion
of our people false to the South. Those efforts
rendered it necessary that our Legislature should
define the position of the State and vindicate her
loyalty. If the State suffers in her character by
adopting such course, the blame will rest not on
those who vindicate but those vile calumniators
who made such vindication necessary.

Di.tiliatio. Of spirit.ou. Liquors.

Distiliation Of Spiritaous Liquors. ="
p A friend writing US from Davie County, says:
81 understand there are persons distilling whisky
in this County, in violation of law" And friend
writing us from Alamsnoe says: q" Preparations
are being made in this neighborhood for distiling
whisky out of corn, as scarce as it is. We can
hardly get bread now, but what will be our condi
ton # the cern -is t.rnad into -UhiSkra"
The law passed by the Legislature at one of it's
recent sessions, is very severe persons who may
dstill spirituous liquors from corn wheat peas pea
nuts oats rye, sugar cane sugar cane seed syrup,
molasses, rice, dried fruit potatoes, any mixture
Of any or either Of thsn, The penalty is Cine and
Imprisonment fine not to be less than $500,
and the imprisonment not less than sixty days.
Every day or part Of days distiling constitutes
distinct offence.
There are thousands and. thousands of hungry
mouths in this State, to be FLIED before another
crop can be gathered aud when that crop is gath
cred, we fear twill be short .one The corn and
the wheat must be saved to save life To distill
either into whisky at : time like this, is a great
wrong. In ordinary times, when grain is abundant,
the distillaton of fspirituous liquors from it is leeti
mate and proper; but in the name of thousands of
widows and orphans, made SO BY this war, and of
the wives and children Of our shaent soldiers We
protest in the most solemn terms against the dist
lation Of the staff Of life into spirtuous liquors.
Surely the present supply Of whisky and brandy
ought to be sufficient until the war is over The
people can do without strong drink of any sort if
necessary; but withodt>bread they must PERISH
By every thing that is sacred let the corn and wheat
be carefully preserved for man and beast. 4.

The Exemptias, Law.


In the Senate, on Monday last the exemption bill
was discussed at some length by Messrs. Yancey
and Phelan. Mr.. Yancey advocated the twenty
negro exemption feature, and Mr.. Phelan opposed
it. Mr.. Phclan moved to lay the Senate bill on the
table, and take up the House bill, and his motion
was rejected by the following vote:
Kas sNessrs Baker, Clark, Dotteh, Haynes, Maxwell,
Phelan and Smms-7.
Gays-Messrs. Barnwell, Brown, Burnett Clay DAVIS.
Henry, Hill. Hunter, johnson Of Arkansas johnson of
Georgia, Mitchell, Oldham, Orr Peyton Semmes Sparrow
Wigtali and Yaucey-lS.
As the House exemption bill contains clause re-
psahng the twenty negro exemption feature, the
above may be regarded as to some extent test
vote, The probability is that the Senate, judging
from the above VOTE will refuse to repeal this odous
and aristocratica provision in the exemption law
The exemption of persons because they own cer-
tain smount Of certain species Of property, is un-
constitutional. And not only 80, but it establishes
privileged class or, in other words, an order Of
nobility.
