false swearing is too black TO obtain an ounce
Of ounine. The desrth Of Northern products
compels tho Southern women 10 remain at
home or to 60 abroad in meaner stuff5 than are
worn by paupcrs in a Northern alms-house.
Every intercepted letter of a Southern woman
calls for clothing as a necessity. pins and
needles as blessings and bonnets as tho greatest
OF merces!
As these predictions have been falsifed so
must be the hopes and expectations of those
who made them. II is evident that the over
sanguine temperament of the South now feels
encouragement proportioned to the extrava-
gsnce of her 0ntcipations. 1t Is The Oyer-san-
gnine who most quickly sink under reyerses.
But the defiant arrogance which so repealed the
North Is having its Legitimate reward. The
scornful snecr at Yankee AbOlitionists would
have some meaning in it, if the open hands
were not held out with imploring energy TO
clutch at whatever Yankee industry may have
TO sell. The prejudice against Yankee wares is
gone. Intervention Is failure, Europe has had
n scorching experience Of the closeness OF the
blockade, and Rebel authorities declare that not
one blockade runner has reached q Southern port
in whole month Hence foreign goods are
unattainable, and hence the increasing return
to the old dependence on the North. Ten years
ago. it was staple with the slavcholding dcma.
gogue that free-trado between North and South
was enriching the former at the expense OF the
latter. But for three years there has been no
such trade, and where is the SOUTH Not pro-
vidcd for by Europe, not providing for herself,
not provided for at all. During tho whole OF
this interregnum, her main dependence has been
upon clandestine supplies from us. As time
passed, she found all other dependence futile,
until now she leans wholly upon US, ragged,
ptiable, but criminal suppliant for necessarles
which nothing but dishonest intercourse can
bring TO her. What commentary is this con-
dtion Of things upon the yet recent prophecies
of her impetuous seers! What lessons OF ST.
lence It should teach them for the future
What stores OF wisdom il contains for the null

From the Conservative
LEACABURG, June s

LEAcHBURa, June 80, 1854
DEAR SIR: In the weekly Conservative Of tho
gath inst, find the following language copied from
the North Carolina Standard:
Mr. Holden in his paper Of the 10th instant,
stated that about the time Gov. Vance wrote his
letter to President Davis, in regard to peace, he
endorsed the Johnston county resolutions, which
contained the first proposition for Convention
made by any public meeting in the State"
10 which you replied, by saying that Gov. Vance
authorized you to say the statement is utterly and
entirely false.
In reply to the denial of Gov. Vance in your d.
per, my name is referred to by Mr.. Holden a. evil
dence Of the truth of his statement IN an article
headed DR.. Leach and Gov. Vance, IN which Mr..
Holden gives my statement on the subject - con.
tanned in the appendix to the life and times of p.
X. McRae, Esq, to prove that Gov. Vance did zee,
read, and endorse the Johnston county resolutions
in manuscript
As my name is referred to in connection with the
subject feel it my duty not only to myself but to
HoV Vance and Mr.. Holden, to give correct state
'nent OF the whole transaction from my own per-
sonal knowledge as regards the resolutions
There were two political meetings held in John.
ston county-one on the 9Th of January, 1884, at
Coats muster ground, and another ON the 71h Of
January, 1864, In Smithield.
The resolutions referred to by me in the appendix
to the life and times of D. K. McRae ESQ and al
luded to by Mr. Holden, were those adopted at the
meeting on the 6th held at Coats muster ground,
that Gov. Vance saw, read, and endorsed in manu-
script remarkng at the same time that there could
be but one objection TO them-that the language in
the latter part of the 4th resolution might be con.
strued into threat replied it was not intended
| as such.
know nothing about the disposition made Of
the resolutions adopted by the meeting in Smith
field on the 7th. Both the meetings are headed
meeting in Johnston county"
| In justice to myself Gov Vance. and Mr.. Hol.
den, and to satisfy the public mind the subject
| you will confer favor on me by copying both
sets of resolutions as published in the North-Car4
lima Standard Of the 18th and goth of January,
| 1864
| At this stage of the subject see no necessity
for raising the question Of veracity, either between
myself Gov Vance, or Mr.. Holden.
Yours respectfully, j. T. LEACH.

We publish to-day, from the Conservative, let
ter from Dr.. j. 7. Leach narratng the facts in re-
lation to Gov. Vance's endorsement of the John.
ston County resolutions, which were the first in the
State to suggest Convention. While Dr. Leach
is evidently and very naturally disinclined to en-
gage in controversy to an Issue Of veracity, yet
his letter makes the fact perfectly clear that Gov
Vance did endorse the resolutions.
But these are not the only Convention resolu-
tons that Gov. Vance has approved. We have it
Oh the best authority that A. n Boyle, Esq, can

OF July, in Wilkesborough, that on the Goth Of

ton resolutions drawn up by him, Mr. Boyle, and
avished much praise on them as the very thing for
the times! On the 22d of the same month, at
Wilkesborough, he denounced Convention and
warned the people against it! What must the hon.
est people of the State think of such man?
