WHO ARE THE REVOLUTIOM- ISTO. We hear much needless Rtimmon about the Southern Revolutionists," and that, too, by South ern men. Why in Heavens name, do they not re member, that whilst their blatant tongues are spit ing their venom and hatred against the South, that in the same breath they advocate the ubmis.ion of freemen of the South to Revolutionists of the North? If the term Secessionists, is not popular with these men, and if they prefer the term "South ern Revolutionist," we admit the latter for argu ment sake, and will prove that Lincoln was elected by Revolutionists, and that his triumph is not the triumph of a party but a Revolution a Revolu tion too, not having as much sanction under the Constitution as the election of Jicffersox Davis, of Miss., over the Southern Confederated States. The Chicago Placforin pledges Abraham Lincoln to over thro .v the Constitution of his country, and Mr Lincoln, in his letter ofacceptanc fully co;icur in its letter and spirit, aud pledges himself to ac- ompli-ih it. Ho repudiates the decision of th Su prtme Court upon that instrument. The voice of the Jf'tb is above the voice and authority of lutr I Tl-e Constitution is cursed if it is what the Court y, the IJible is worthless if it sanction's slavery. I this not Revolution ? Now look at jBFFKKsorf 1avm. The States that have seceded have carried the Constitution of our fathers in its purity, baptized with their blood. Like the Children of Isreal of old, they curry with them the Ark of the Covenant, nd hold to the faith of their fathers. We can convey no better idea than by giving th- words of President I avi. himtelf : " u have change J the consti unit parts but not tlit Jviiim of our Government, the Constitution f Tined by our fathers is that of th-s . ConlVderate States. In their exposition of it, and in Mr judicial mmtructi'in it has received, we Lavv a light hich reveals its true meaning."

Will they still battlewith words against the destructive th. ories of the dominant party, and content tht-mseivrs with praying for a better time ? Or. will they arise in their might, cut a.un ler the ties that bind them to a hatefnl and uncompromising foe, and manfully contend forthvir rights, nobly disregarding d.-t,ng-r, loss and life . They have borne so mucli alreaily, tint we are at a lo to discover the point where, with them, for bearance ceases to be a virtue. Their resources of endurance ars so vast, we cannot fathom them. Their policy is so manifestly unwise in our judgment that we will not ventu e to predict whit they wi.l do, after their efforts have been abortive, and they are Irft, where they now are, exposed to the pity of their friends and the ridicule of their toes. We will let them speak for themselves."

I appropriate to myself very little of the demonstrations of respect with which I have hern greeted. I think little should he given to any man, but that it should he a mani festation of adherence to the Union and the Consti tution. I iinrtcrstnnri mrsdf to t received here by the representitives of tlie people of New-Jersey, a majority of whom differ in opinion from those with whom I have acted. This manifestation is therefore to be regarded by me as expressing their devotion to the Union, the Con.stitution and the liberties of Jthe people. You, Mr. Speaker, have well aid that thin is a time when the bravest mid wisest look with doubt and awe upon the aspect presented bv our national affairs. Under these cir- j urhstances, you will readily see why I should not j . ''';V.V in detail of the course Ib.'.Il deem it best t. i - pnrsue.

I shall endeavor to take the the ground I deem most just to the North, the East, the West, the South, and the whole country. I take it, I hope, in good temper certainly no malice toward any section. I shall do all that may be in my power to promote a peaceful settlement of all our difficulties. The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. Cheers.

The people of this State have confidence- in Gov. Run to an extent rurely possessed by public men. Whit Gov. Rkid says may be relied upon, and Gov. Rkid despairs of the South in the Union and calls upon the people of this State to govern their action according to matters as they now exist.

Gentlemen: Your letter of the 13th instunt, in forming me of my nomination for a seat in the State Convention, was received yesterday. Th Legislature associated me with the cornmis- mt sent to the Convention now in scosjion in till city, for the purpose of i.romotniir the adiustmeiit r.f the dtUi'uttirs which so unhappily threaten the"' peuc mid ei unty oi the country. 1 he in junction .f.ecresy impose-!, preven s me fro. u stat ing at present what has ti.nspired in that bo.lv; ii'i the result of its deli! eridi -ns may be protrai t e I to a period tUat in ty prevent me lrj:n reai-bin home oel'ore the election. A jon kuiiw, I bn'.e ever eherisbe I a sincere de-ir for the prsst-rva' ion of t!i t'nion ac. onling to the letter and spirit of the Federal Constit jti.m. Hut ciri-umstnces li.:ve urisuu to excite a well founded distrust on the part ol the Southern States that their rights and institutions willnot be respect ed by tli Northern States Uefore leaving home. 1 entertained the opinion that the North would not agree to any adju: merit that would rove wye td a'ifa try vidier to the States that have seceded, or to the frlaveholding States that still remain in the Union, and I regret to be compelled 1 1 r-tate that nothing has occurred up to this tim; to justify me to change m opinion in this respect. It is true there is a conservative elemeii at the North, but it is too weak to control the action of the Government. It is too late to stop to discuss the policy pursue'! by the seeeding Stites in withdrawing from the Union. The true policy is to govern oar action according to the facts as they really exist. We are tired of tlie strife; which threatens our domestic peace and endangers ou rights of property. This question ought now to be permanently settled. It w.tuld afford me great pleas ire it an adjustment oould be nude to re-unite all the States upon terms of equal ity and safety. But if this cannot be done -and I do not belii-ve it can then it does seem that th- interest mid hapidness of both sections will be promoted by a peaceable separation . If elected to seat in the Convention, I shall en de.tvor faithfully to represent interests of my comi ty and State according o the ciruemstanees that mar exUt at the time when it becoms my duty to act upon the su'jcct. Tlie cause of the South is our eausv ; the Mtety of the South is our safety ; and the destiny of the South is our destiny. Very respectfully. Dr. Tii-s. W. Kki-:n. Mai. Jos. W.

I expect we shall have an attack before my letter reaches you. We nil think we shall b able to stand it about ten da3s. They cannot take the fort 03- assault unless they wijdi to sacrifice from three to four thousand lives. It is impossible they should enter the fort, and they cannot come uear enough to mik a breach.

THE SLAVE TRADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA The Northern Republican journals are chuckling hugely over the cenceit that because a feyv gentle men in South Carolina desire the re-opening of the 5lave trade, therefore she will secede from the new Confederacy, which has at fnce planted itself in op position to the measure. This is either amazing ignorance or wilful misrepresentation. AVe have j published already the most explicit statements from the most reliable sources in .South Carolina, that the vast preponderance of public sentiment in that State is against the renewal of the African' slave trade, and our oyvn personal observation in South Carolina has satisfied us that she is no more in fa vor of it than Virginia. The enemies of the South need lay no such flattering unction in their souls. Hick. JJifatch. We have some of the same stock here who "flat ter themselves." gs. The N.j Y. Tribune notices the following items in reference to Lincoln's reception in that city : A Mr. Cohen of Charleston, S. C, was introduced to Mr. Lincoln, when Mayor Wood remarked the "entleman lived out of Mr. Lincoln's jurisdiction. Mr. Lincoln replied that he should not for that rea son refuse to greet him, and he gave him a cordial shake of the hand. As one old gentleman passed by, he said to Mr. Lincoln with much emotion, "Mr. President, I trust you will not forget the Collector of Georgetown, South Carolina, who is now in prison on a charge of high treason, because he did Ins duty. Volunteer advice was of frequent occurrence, and it generally expressed the sentiment of "no com promise," but to sustain the Constitution and the laws. t'ilovingu OTRDAY MARCH, 2 1861.

All this time the Southern delegates have been on their knerx, imploring terms at the hands of their Northern enemies" IVhat hare they accomplished T Their most moderate demands have been refused ; not one sigle concession has been made ; n jt one single ray of hope has been held out to cheer the Union Shrit-ker's heart. How much longer shall we suplicate ? How much more humi liation cfin, will we bear? The silent and Honest Abraham has atlast spoken out. He says he will die sooner than give up one plank of the Chicago platform with his construction it means iteg o equality and irrepressible con flict, the extinction of slavery and utter ruin and humiliation for the South. And to make the darkness still darker, Congress has backed up bis policy with a war bill for the subjugation of Southern rebels. A re you nun f If yon are, you must be very pa tient ones, to stand all this. Will you turn your other check to the hands of the smiter. POLITICAL. JUGGLING - It is a shameful disclosure to make, but no less thcTCSUi, th it the grave and import nt issues befor the people of Norih Carolina, have been m ide to serve the base ends of partisan chicanry, and poli tical juggling. The Southern party in Cumberland county, nom inated David McNeill, and lion J G Shepherd for the State Convention. A plot was immediately con ceived by the "Fayetteville Observer,'1'' to defeat the latter gentleman, (any body that d-fters with the nameless potentate of the Observer, must be crush ed,) and a Convention was called for that purpose. Posters were privately distributed about the couii rJi Las fieeh- as Stephens speech, and "soundings ' commenced in town. The Convention was most judiciously packed by faithful devotees of the Ob- 1 server bom this place, appointed at a town meet These Fa3etteville delegates were unsuspecting ly allowed to manage things at the Convention, and soon male an organization to suit themselves, and their- project. - They found suitable material for a Chairman, and put the machinery to work ; Shepherd was to be ''killed off," defeated some way, that was the game. Now the people of Harnett had to do the work, although the pattern and plan was furnished to lhdr ,,aaj lut JIarnett ,u for Shepherd. How . , . ., , . . . - the d 1 was the tll,nS to bc fixcd The "Obsekvkr ' was distributed freely, but the Lincoln cast given to that sheet by "Fayetteville .... . . . .. . wh; ,,estrovcd s influence; caucuses were held until the grey dawn, all the strategy and ledgird.-- main of party, orought into exercise, but all in vain. The Judge tea too strong. All this was done on Tuesday, and Tuesday night. The Fayetteville delegation went to Summerville, to defeat Judge Shepherd. They worked hard to do it. Rut the result of their labor was a tricky note sent to the Judge on Wednesday, asking permission to nom nate him, upon his vrell known and well defined position, that he was willing to .use all honorable means, and exhaustall honorable means, to save the Union, "what a fall my countryman," who ain't in favor of that. But they had an antidote held in reserve. They were obliged to nominate Judge Shepherd on his own terms, but they made the preceedings of the Convention look as if he repudiated his Southern Rights views, which was done without his knowl edge and content. It was this appearance which this guggling gave to their candidates which induced us to express our distrust and our relactance to support them. It ought to be known to the people of Harnett and Cumberland, that no body but the "Town" dele gates spoke at the Convention. It was Town dele gates who made all the motions, Town delegates dispatched for the purpose, done all the business, and they had a Town Chairman for a trained aux iliary ; all motions decided out of order that was not in the programme. -So Judge Shepherd was nominated with a flour ish, of trumpets, when the truth , was they were obliged to do it If the nomination of J G Shepherd was intend ed to extinguish party lines and unite the political differences among the people, then we say "all hale" to the reformation. We call upon all parties to unite in support cf our ticket, which can be found at the Lead of our pper. TIIK TECE CONFEUENCIfl- STAUTLING PKOPOSI I IOX FltOM CHASE OF OHIO.
