"BRowN AND STEPHENS uersus HoLDEN."-Under
this head the Fayetteville O6seroer quotes the reply
of Gov. Brown to Gen. Sherman, declining to meet
the latter to negotiate for peace, aud adds
"But what would have been the course Of our
would-be GOVERNOR Why of course he would
have been bound by his pledges to meet Sherman,
and thus commit himself and the people of the
State to violation of the Confederate Constitution,
which expressly con6des to the President and Sen
stc the exclusive right to negotiate and make treat
les with foreign powers. If Gov. Brown or any
other Governor were to enter into negotiation
with the enemy he would be q traitor, and would
deserve traitors DOOM"
There is no foundation for this charge against u.s.
The Governors of tho States have no power to ne
gotiate with the enemy, and we have never even
thought of holding that they possessed such power
Governor might meet q federal General and con-
fer with him as to the best mode of mitigating the
horrors Of war, but he would have no power to ne
sotiate for peoaoe. Gov. Brown gave the only an.
swer which he could have given under the circum-
stances.
But We hold that the Sta!cs as the founders and
masters of our system, have a right to speak 10
their agent, the common government, on the SUBJ
ject of peace, and to unite with that agent in ob
tanning peace. This is as far as have ever gone.
We have never favored separate State action, as it
has been called, with view to peace; but even if
we had done this we should have gone no furthur
than the separate State action Of 1s6o-6l, which
led to war. Separate State action was very popu'
lar when it was resorted to to break up the govern.
nent and occasion war but it is not to be thought
Of when proposed to obtain that greatest of earthly
blessings-peace. "Our would-b be Governor" ia

n. s. ROBBINS, EsQ.-The Greensborough Pa
trot of recent date contained an article in relation
TO this gentleman which we should not have noticed
though it makes an unjust ausion to u.s. but tor the
fact that has been copied into the Governors news
paper. We concur entirely with the Patriot as to
Mr.. Robbins respectable attainments and e1empla-
~ habits; and we can say that we were not only
pratified to see him made Speaker pro tom OF the
Commons but that we aided in our humble sphere
in directing attention to his claims and qualihca'
tons for that position. But the Patriot is mort-
fed" at his recent defeat in Randolph, and attri.
butes his defeat to false impressions on the sub
ject of peace by his opponents and Mr.. Holden. y
Mr. Robbins was rejected by the people Of Randolph
because he allied himself with the Destructives of
that County, and opposed the true Conservative
ticket. If he had maintained his Conservatism, and
had refused to go with Gov. Vance in his af6iation
with the original secesslonists, he would have been
re.eected>by large majority. As it was, he was
defeated, and the majority against him would have
been much larger but for the military terrorism
which the two administrations established for the
sole purpose Of carrying the elections. Many Of
the voters Of Randolph, IS of other Counties, were
not free to vote their honest sentiments, but were
restrained or deferred from doing by the patron
age and bayonets of the administrations referred to-
But the people rejected Mr.. Robbins, and Gov
Vance provided for him and saved him from con.
scription. lie has done the same thing for several
Of his friends who have bsen defeated for the Legis
lature Is it right in the Governor thus to use the
State Offices within his gift Every honest man
will say no; but there are none so bold as to enter
their protest publicly against such conduct. Con.
crosses and Legislatures are as obedient to the be-
hests of the Executive as ever the Commons in Eng

Tuaors or Stuarts; and the people-but it Is use.

this place, propose to meet at the Town
Hall in this village, on the afternoon and
evening of Wednesday the 23d inst. for
the purpose Of having social visit with
him and his wife. and with each other.
and of contributing to the material well
fare of the minister. We like the plan
of the committee of arrangements in re-
lation to furnishing refreshments, for the
getting up of a repast-on such an occasion
is task which always falls heavily on u
few individuals, and they lose the oppor-
tunity of participating in the social Gu
ioyment; and then we do not like the idea
of buying mans good will by giving
him in return a chance for sensual graft
fcation. We hope such things have had
their day, and that hereafter we may be
permitted to hear of donation visits that
are what they are claimed to be, and not
parties for eating and drinking Come,
then, not to eat and drink, but to see and
be seen, to be sociable and generous, to
make and hear music, to enjoy feast of
reason in reasonable way, and show to
yourselves and the rest of mankind that
you appreciate a good cause and mean to
sustain its faithful advocates. .......
