RALEIGH, n. c., March IS - The General

The conservative mem oers are out in an
address to the people, alludipg to the Gov.
ernor's declaring Alamance county in insur-
rection, and asking for suspension OF the
habea5 corpus act.
The address recites as follows: The Chief
Magistrate Of this State, the head and front
of radlcalism, has seen f. to declare one of
our counties in state OF insurrection and
to call upon Congress to suspend the writ OF
habeas corpus throughout the State. We
declare that there is not sufficient cause for
this extraor dinary action of Governor
Holden, as there is, and has been, no armed
resistance 10 uprising of the Peep e: no
outbreaks to disturb or hinder the full ad-
miDistrat;On Of the civil law.
We assert that there is not county in the
State to whicbany Sheriff or other peace Off
Ger may not go unattended and with perfect
safety, and execute any process upon any
citizen of the State. 1t is true that mur-
ders and other outrages have been COM
mitted, but they have not been confined to
any particular locality, or any political
party: and when Governor Holden repre-
sents to the President and 10 Congress that
these acts are evidence o! disloyalty, he is
guilty of awful libel upon & people whose
rights he has sworn to protect.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-Governur Palmer, in
reply to letter from the Hon. Cassius VI.
Clay, asking him to accept the position of
vice.president OF the Csban Aid Society Of
New York, says he does not consider il con-
sstent with the public duty Of Gov
ernor of one Of the United States TO aid
the Cuban insurrection against the au-
thority of government with which we are
at peace; and further, he has no evidence
that the so-called patriotic party in Cuba
has decreed the abolition OF slavery, and
the fact that their leader, General Jordan,
who was four years in arms against our free
government to perpetuate slavery, affords
no satisfactory evidence of such an inten-
ton. He is, therefore, unwilling to assist
them or to ask others to do so.
