TIE rebels are beautifully consistent in
the application of their political doctrines.
If there is any one point on which they
have placed more stress than on any other,
II is this, that under our constitution and
under theirs each state has, and of right
ought TO have, the right to secede when
ever it sees fit. The rich vocabulary of
yituperation has been exhausted in abusing
our government, because it has resisted
their desperate attempts to rend the Union
asunder. They have called the world to
witness that We were expressing them by
refusing to "let them Alone" Yet now
what course are they threatening to pur-
sue towards North Carolina, and what
course will they assuredly pursue if North
Carolina undertakes to secede from the
Confederacy. The returns from the recent
state election will decide whether North
Carolina goes for peace and secession from
the Confederacy, or for continued submits
sien to JEFF. Davis. The present Governor
Vance represents the war party. Mr.. Hol.
den, whose name has before been prOmi-
nent among those who are opposed to the
Richmond dynasty, is the candidate of the
peace party. The Richmond Examiner in
forms US that the Holden party are pretty
numerous, that in several districts there are
very large bands of deserters, all peace
men, that in Yadkin county they have be-
come formidable, and have opened the jail
- .,Ioa.ad tba pr;ennara Nnw certainlv
it would seem that nothing could be more
in accordance with the secession doctrines
than the withdrawal of North Carolina
from the confederacy if she does not choose
to remain in it. But not for moment will
the rebels listen to the proposition of North
Carolina to take such step. The Examiner
tells her that if she withdraws, she declares
war against the confederacy, and that it is
not to be supposed that Virginia and South
Carolina would submit to be cut asunder
by the intervening country. That journal
talks to her just as we have constantly
talked to the rebellious States. 1t acts OF
the same principle that has animated oul
government and all the loyal people of thu
land. 1t adopts the very course which
, has so blamed US for adopting, and tina
} too when the Montgomery constitution
l expressly provides for the secession o
States, and even the most iuveterate rebe
!, cannot asert that our constitution goes 81
: far as that. The +. miner is in perfec
: harmony with JET. Davis on this point
}, He informed the Governor of North Caro-
: lima few months ago, that If that Stat
}, undertook to break away from the con
}, federacy, he would prevent it by force c
,, arms. Such is secession practically illus
: trated. The very men who are its chic
h apostles, dare not attempt to govern with
: out repudiatiug it utterly.

their names. The discrepancy in the two

The Buffalo Commercial ddrertiser tells
story about one Of the Aldermen of that city,
who was drafted but was averse to army service.
IL appears that tho Common Council of Buffalo
possesses the power to pardon convcts In the
Peniientlary. Some time since noted scouudrel
WAS sentenced to term of imprisonment, and
upon this individual the "conscript father" fixed
bis attention. He visited the prisoner, and found
him ready to go into the army as a substitute.
The next thing was to get the rogue pardoned
out. This was accomplished through the favor of
the Board, but when the culprit was released he
utterly declined to enter the service and is now
ready to undertake any little job Of mischief that
may present itself

young woman named Miller went TO church
wearing q Rebel emblem, and this circumstance
created a considerable feeling among some Of the
Republican ladies Of the congregation After tho
services Mrs. Timberlake, niece of Colonel John
Timberlakc, volunteeredt to go aud take away the
emblem. She went toward Miss Miller, and q
general fight ensued among the women, when
Colonel John Timberlake came into the crowd
apparently greatly excited. A sccessionist named
Henry Lohmire, who accompanied Miss Miller to
the church, warned Timberlake not to interfere.
Timberlske replied, "You are nothing but a
Rebel, anyhow" whereupon Lohmire drew plS-
tol and shot twice, both shots taking effect The
first ball passed through Timberlakes hand and
into his shoulder, the second entered his side
and passed through the heart, causing instant
death. Lohmre was arrested, and is in Jail az

than the eminent courtesy that usually distin-
guishes that journal, that all demonstrations
locking to peace on the national side are foolish
