TnE NEwsPAPERs.-In an able article on the in
diSpenSbte Importance of the Press to the country
and society, especially in great pending strug-
gle for Independence, the Augusta Ga. Register re-
marks
"Our honest opinion is that no class of our coun.
trymen, except our soldiers, have done more for our
success than newspaper men. This is our candid
opinion after maturely considering the subject
They have given tone to public sentiment, and
aroused the patriotism of the people to every de-
mand made upon them. In the emergencies of our
country, many harsh and grievous laws have been
passed, many orders and regulations hard to be
borne have been adopted. In some cases designing
men, in others well meaning oEes supposing they
were doing their duty, have done much to arouse
all the feelings of prejudice and opposition by tho
people to these supposed usurpations and tyrannies
Just here the press have come in and by their dali
ly pleadngs, their patriotic appeals, reconced ap-
parent differences and alayed all opposition. They
have educated the minds Of the people to every
great and important change in the policy Of our
government, and have, with all their powers, sus.
tanned the cause of our country.
Blot out the newspapers Of the country and YOU
will have no general policy among the people
There will be as many opinions as there are in
dIviduals and as many leaders as there are commu-
mites. RumorS will be rife all over the land and in
the absence of reliable information as now obta,ned
the people will be subjected to imposition and will
always be depressed by dangers real or imaginary.
newspapers form KIND OF bond of union-a CON-
mon medium of the interchange of ideas. and next
to our organized armies are the most powerfnl on.
gines within our country for the attainment of its
independence, by holding up the duty of the citi.
zens on tine one hand, and the rights Of the govern
ment on the other; the grounds for encouragement
on the one hand and the necessity for endurance on
the other From the President to the humblest cit.

committees.
Tine delaying of the payment Of troops was in.
cidentay discussed, and purpose evinced to adopt
at an carly day, measures to secure prompt pay
meut in future
In the House multitude of propositions were
introduced. Mr. FOote submitted a resolution tina:
the recommendation of the President in his message
for detailing Editors and necessary employees Of
newspapers, is one which the House can by no
means approve. He declared that without the
freedom OF the press there could be no freedom of
the people. The press was recognised in all coun
tries as the bulwark Of public liberty, and the de-
structiOn of It's independence would reduce US to
the most degrading servility the world ever saw
The army would not be strengthened, but piece of
tyranny be inauguralcd He was no friend nor
favOrie with the press, and sought not to win its
favor, he was governed solely by public considera-
ton, in the resolutions submitted.
Mr. B ,rksdale defended the President and denied
that he desired to ramel the press. Here under the
very shadow of his Office, the press Us free
the air. He moved the reference of the resolution
to the military committee.
Mr. Foot resumed the expression Of his views to
a considerable length, and with great emphasis.
Mr. BarkSdales motion was agreed to- and the
house resolved itself into secret session.

The Standard, we observe, notifies the C0nSerCG-
tire members of the Legislature, to meet in this
city on Friday or Saturday before the meeting OF
the Legislature to organize for the purpose of de-
feating the aims Of the i" Destructive party. In
this it assumes to be the organ of the CoasecGtiUes
1ou fellow citizens, do not acknowledge such lead
erSiip The Conservative newspaper will not, while
under the control Of the undersigned, seek to ms
rnct you your representatives as to your or their
duty. You and they know 1t, and will fearleSsly
perform it. D. b. NEAIHEli1.
In the last issue Of the Standard we said
"The Legislature of North Carolina will assemble
in this City on Monday the 2lSt November. We
respectfully and earnestly appeal to the Conserva
tive members to be in Raleigh on Friday or Sat.
urday preceding, to unite in some way to pre-
vent the Dessructves from controlling the organi.
zaton and legislation of the two Houses. This is
matter of paramount Importance, and ought not
to be neglected"
In the first place, we "noti6ed no one to attend
but simply appealed to Conservative members to do
so in the second place, we never have, nor do We
now " assume : to be the organ of Conservatives
but only the Editor of Conservative paper in the
third place, we have not sought to instruct" any
one as to what they should or should not do.
We now repeat our appeal to the Conservative
members to be in Raleigh at an early moment so
as to make arrangements to defeat the aims of the
DestructiveS There are four parties or divisions
among the members elect as follows: Conserva-
tives after the straitest sect Vance Conserva-
tives elected by Conservative votes-Vance COnser-
vatives elected by Destructive votes-and Destruc.
tiveS. We have made careful calculation, and find
that the Vance Conservatives elected by COnserVa-
tive votes and Conservatives "after the straitest
sect" have q small majority in the two Houses; and
therefore, by uniting, they should do, and asthe
Conservative voters of the State expect them to d.,
they can shape and control the legislation of the
State. There may be, and there are, doubt, a
few Conservatives elected by Destructive votes
who can be relied on, but, as general rule, these
gentlemen will vote with the Destructives.
Having made these suggestions, our skirts will be
clear, whatever may be done omitted to be done.
We do not even "assume" to spe,k for the strait.
est sect" but have expressed only our individual
views. But of two things we sure: First that
the "straitest Sect" ready and willing as they arc
to harmonic with all true Conservatives, will do
nothing to compromise their principles or forfeit
their own self respect; and secondly, that in no
event will they vote for unite with the Destruc-
tive either as to men or measures.
If this Is not true Conservatism, then pray tell
Us what is.

has been vigorously executed and most of the State
troops in the field. In fact the white labor
ers have been taken permanently, and now it Is
gravely proposed to take at least one half if not two
thirds of the slave population capable of bearing
arms. IL this insane proposition should be carried
into effect, it must be apparent every thinking
man, that if we should even be so fortunate to
escape horrors of servile war, the Yankees could
Sutjugate us by starvation within the next year
without any further aggressive movements, but by
simply acting on the defensive themselves. just

IF suffering distress and anarchy, as have seldom

that they may be heaping up wrath against day

But there is another important point in the case
which ought to be considered and that is the effect
the measure would have in Europe. IcandidIy con-
tess that approach this point with great difidence
The grtat senStiveness Of Southern gentlemen on
the subject of slavery is well known. The almost
universal opposition to the institution among the
Christian nations of Europe is also well known. 1t
may be doubted whether the course pursued by
Southern statesmen Southern writers and Southern
diVines, has been polite and prudent one Instead
OF discussing the question in the abstract as they
were always doing, endeavoring to convince all
Christep dom that slavery was divine institution,
and morally iustifable per Sc, they should always
have treated it solely as practical question. This
they should have done, if for no other reason out
o1 respect to the opinions of the civilized world.
They should have taken the ground that whatever
