rOM AND SECESSION.

'CRAGTOR 'TOM AND SECESSION.
In the journal of the proceedings of
the Legislature of 1854-'55 is to be
found the following record:
Mr.. Settle introduced the following
resolutions: 80
1. Resolved, That the act passed at
the last session of Congress, providing
territorial governments for Nebraska
and Kansas, embrace the true princi~
pie III relation to the power of the
Federal GOvernment, on the subject
of slavery in the territories.
2. ResOlped, That the principle as
served Ii said act. on the question of
slavery, is subject of vital import
ance upon which all Southern men
ought to unite 4.-
3. Resotred. That tue attempt on the
part of some of the States of the North
tn interfere with slavery i'll the South
is fragrant violation of the COnstitu-
ton Cf the United States, and fruught
with iucaiculable mischief to the peO
ole of this State.
f. ResOiUed. That the preservation of
the rights Of this State in the peaceful
enjoy ment of the domestic institution
of slavery is n paramount duty.
5. ResOlueI. That mnch praise is due
to the patriotic men who have boldly
maintained the compromises of the
constitution in the midst of the infu-
rated fanaticism of the North.
e. ResOlUed, That this State is deter
mined 10 resist any further encroach-
ments upon her constitutional rights.
z. ResOlUed, That in the event the
Federal Government repeal or i'm
pair the efficiency of the provisions of
the fugitive slave law, or refuses to
enforce it's execution in good faith. that
it will amount to virtual dissolution
of the Union; and that it will become
the duty of this State to take suoh
measures as may be required for her
safety and security.
8. ResOlUed, That if either of the con-
tingencies contemplated in the forego-
ing resolutions should arise during the
recess of the General Assembly, that
| the Governor be requested to convene
that body. to the end that the rights o1
| the State may be maintained.
9. Resoloed, That a copy of these
resolutions be transmitted by the ex-
rcntive to e,ch of the Senators and
| Representatives in Congress from this
State, to be laid before their respec-
tive houses. and also a copy to the
Governors of the respective States OF
the Union.

A very grave complaint has been
brought by the New York Times
against the ex-Confederate House of
Representatives at Washington city
and say what We will about it, it is
true. The complaint is that COLONEL
GEORGE w. KIRK the Tennessee cut
throat and the hero of Holden's Rad
ical war in North Carolina in 1870, has
been removed from command of the
police in charge of the Capitol builds
ing at Washington and an ex.Confed-
crate put in his place. The complaint
is we'll founded we are happy to say.
But it will be better for us to be eau
tious in the expression of our gratifica>
ton for we know not when KIRK may
be recalled to North Carolina. Pear
son is still on the Supreme Court
bench, Settle is the Radical candidate
for Governor, Nc Lindsey is Radical
candidate for Congress, Holden is q
member of the Radical Executive Com
mittee and John Pool is superintendent
of Public instruction. KIRK is the
only one of the vile gang of 1870 that
is idle in the Radical camp. Will not
Brogden provide for him too?
Wilmington journal., 1876-08-11
COL. .LAMAt,S SPEECH.

The Baltimore Gazette commends
the speech of Col. Lamar delivered in
the House of Representatives on
Wednesday last, as a calm, truthful
expression of the sentiment of the
South, touching the p ,litical issues of
the day. It says:
Mr.. Lamar is a representative
Southern man, with views as broad as
the nation itself. He passed through
the thrilling scenes of civil strife and
bore noble part in them. With the
South he has shared her humiliation,
AMI with her he pleads for a reunited
country, the restoration of peace and
harmony, and the supremacy of the
civil law. With her he protests against
the rule of the bayonet, and with her
and for her he demands a reformed
and purified government. Mr.. Lamars
speech is an eloquent appeal for re-
conciliation, but We do not imagine
that statesmen of Senator Morton's
stamp will think we'll of it. Imme~
diate reconciliation on a basis of COM
mon justice would defeat Hayes be-
yond question, and that would
never do.
Wilmington journal., 1876-08-11
HELKNAp AND R0BESON.

Inc Nav YORK SuU says.
As he contemplates the course which
the great minority of the Republicans
are pursuing toward RObeson, Balknap
must think he com mitted blunder in
&c nfessing and resigning. Ii he had
remained in Office, would not the Re
publicans have tried to carry him
through, just as they arc now trying
to carry through Robeson? His mis-
conduct is not tenth part as fragrant
as that of Robson; and are not the
Republicans in the~House vhitewash-
ing Robeson? and in face of the damn
ing facts does not Grant keep him in
the Cabinet? and are not nearly all the
Republican newspapers in the country
defending Robeson, and denouncing
the Democratic members of the Naval
Committee for exposing his thievish,
profigate and disastrous administra,
ton of the Navy Department.?
If Belknap had stayed ill office and
fought his battle on that vantage
ground, is there shadow of doubt
that he could have rallied to his sup
port oil the Influences that have so
promptly come forward to protect
Robeson With the aid of Grant and
the other members of the Cabinet, aud
a whitewashing report in his favor
from the Republican members of the
War Committee in the House, might
not Belknap have hoped to deter the
Democratic majority from impeaching
him :? Or, if unsuccessful i'll this, yet
with a case against him which liz weak
and contemplate i'll comparison with
the colossal rascality of Robeson,
might lie not have found a sufficient
number OF Republican Senators ready
to save him from conviction +?
Bold rascals don't like towards. By
throwing nip the sponge at the com
mencement of the conflict BeIknap lost
the sympathy and aid of the corrupt
elements in Grants administration and
the Republican party; and that ruined
him. How different the course o1
Robeson! Like him, Belknap should
have drawn around him all the rOgues
aud fought it out on that line.

officer of the law, he deliberately told
them, even while under the sanction
of his oath,. that there was no
power in all North Carolina to save
them from outrage or even from death,
that they and all ots' ers i'll the State
must submit to Holdeh's sweet will.
And this man Settle is now running
for Governor and Holden is doing all
he can to elect him! And SO, too, is
John Pool. Are these men sane Do
they think the people of North Caro-
lima are fools and have they forgotten
that Holden was driven in disgrace
from his high office for the very crimes
in which Judge Settle gave him such
substantial support The people ha Ve
not forgotten any nf these things!

The following touching tribute to
the memory of MIR. GUIoN is from the
pen of RICHARD B. CREECY, ESQ, of
Elizabeth City. It is taken from the
Economist. of that city, of which paper
Mr.. CREECY is the editor:
DEATH OF HAYWOOD W. GUION.
This distinguished native son of
North Carolina, who had reached
eminent distinction in the ranks of law
and letters, died at Charlotte on the
10Th ult., from the effects of an attack
of paralysis, some months before his
death, which had nearly destroyed the
physical and the mental power of one
of the finest intellects in North Caro-
lima. Haywood Guion Was uncom-
monty gifted, intellectually, as boy
and as a man. He was a native of
Newberr, and soon after graduating at
the University of North Carolina, he
settled at Lincolnton, iii the Western
part of the State, and subsequently,
removed to Charlotte, where he died
| at the age OF 6:..
He was our Chapel Hill classmate;
and save ourself, the last of tho large
class-large for the perlod--that grad
mated in the month of Jnne, in the
year 1885.
It is therefore with no ordinary
emotions that we chronicle his death.
1t is fit that we should do so; for we
alone, OF all his classmates, are left TO
speak of him whom we all loved with
the unselfish love of boyhood, who
always lead ua in boyish sports, who
while n severe and InbOrious student
was yet always ready to bear his part
in anything that added to the happi-
ness of his companions, who, i'll the
class recitations. WAS always first. who,
in the Philanthropic Society debates
was always the equal of the best de-
batter, and who, when the time came
for us to lay down the togavirilis and
assume the robes of manhood. stood
without a peer and bore away from us
all the coveted and hard fought palm
of collegiate distinction. But his we'll
won honors were wor'hily worn and
left no sting of wounded ambition
upon the hearts of his youthful COM
petitOrs.
Farewell friend of my youth Fare
we'll first among our classmates Fare
we'll last to leave us all alone !
Wilmington journal., 1876-08-11

No more striking illustration of the
terrible m sgovernment of South Caro-
lima could be produced than the pres
ent pitiable condition Of her insane.
DIR. Ensor, the Superintendent of the
State insane asylum, says the time has
arrived when the inmates of that in
stitution must receive assistance or
starve. The institution is largely in
debt, it's credit is gone, and parties
who have been furnishing beef, bread,
milk, &C., have given notice that they
can no longer continue to supply these
articles unless there is some guarantee
given them that they will be paid.
The superintendent says sickness,
disease and death must inevitably fols
low this condition of affairs. The
State owes the asylum fund some $780,
600, but, in consequence of mi4man-
agement somewhere, nothing can be
obtained

We have received reliable infOrma-

has transpired in Washington that the
garbled letters which Judge Settle is
showing in the West were obtained
from the department where Governor
Vance's war letters are kept, by the
notorious JOHN G. HESTER.
This Infamous man is said to be the
tool employed to make the garbled ex

Republicans are laying so much store
