Judge Alexander Rives was kindly dealt
with when his nomination as one of the Justl-
ces of the Supreme Court Of Appeals OF vr-
ginia, was confirmed by the General Assembly.
There was a Christian tolerance Of his opinions
exhibited which we hope will diminish that
proscripted bitterness which he is said to eu-
terrain towards a class of gentlemen who are
largely represented in the Genera Assembly;
The iorbearance of the Legislature should
render Judge Rives especially grateful, as IN,
dependent OF his high standing as an educated
gentleman, neither his legal atta11nm'en's nor
his popularity in the district in which ne re-
sides, entitled him to the appointment IN which
he has Just been confirmed -Rach. lanes.

grarer question has been opened before the
country since the adoption of the Constitution,

into Congress by Thaddeus Stevens, tor de-
molishing the existing government of North
Carolina and setting up another which shall be
wholly acceptable TO the majority in Congress.

TO break down the government established by
her own people, and set up over them only
something which it agrees to accept. There
is such danger In II as we fear even the pro-

Instead of the peace which was welcomed by
both sections with so much joy, the war is to

furnishes no barrier against Congressional en-
croachments and usurpation. States are mere
TOYS for the faction rulling Congress to sport

parting from our safe moorings; and, if we
consent to follow Radical lead, shall soon be
lost in sea of endless experiments AS this
matter develops itself in Congress, it will en-
