We have no disposition to do injustice to any one and we therefore cheerfully state that the certifi cates o; Northern men, procured and published by the friends of . Sinclair, of the Fayetteville Car f'lininii entirely, exonorate him from the charge oi being a frecsoib r or abolitionist. It is not neces sary Tha. we should publish the certificates. Mr. Sinclair has not done us entire justice, but we do not intend on that account that he or his friends shall have any ca-i.-e to c mplain of us. Come, Mr. 'Sinclair, cease your warfare on Dem- cmt;c principles. Take your stand under the old Jacksou and Buchanan flay, k filch is the flag of the Union. Raleigh Standard. We beg leave to differ, from Mx.""Holden in reference to the justice done him. We always strive to do justice to an honorable opponent, and in our editorial life we haye ; never imputed un soundness to Mr. Ilolden, whilst we have of late. widely, widely disagreed with him. With reference f the advice irratuitouslv tendered, the Standard will permit say that it has taken to strange v wist! us to abjure the True Faitlu .We'l never, ne ver do it. The " equality of the States " was the motto under which .he Standard foight its last Presidential campaign. Buchanan and Jackson had that as theirs; to attain that equality at all hazzards and cost is pure Democ racy, any other position is counterfeit Democrac'. '"e say to the Standard, upon secession or dis union, that if it be a crime to be a disunionist for existing causes, we were taught to be one by the Standard. Why should the preceptor condemn his pupil for being a close, apt and earnest student of his teachings. A boy in Scotland was once hanged for stealing a few "bqubees." .On the scaffold he culled his mother to him and wished to whimper in her ear, when she placed her head s 'fficicntly close (o him, lie bit her ear olf, remarking that, that would remember her of the fact that . lie had encouraged THE UNION PRESS ! For the benefit of our readers in the country who are interested in the question as to what we should do, we publish to-day extended extracts from the Fayetteville Observer in the year 1855. At that time the abolition vote of the North amounted to obout eleven thousand all told, then the Observer was for Secession, or for Disunion, unless the tide of fanaticism were checked. He warned his friends at the North of this and openly declared himself a " Discnionist " not per se, that means we suppose, not for the ake of disunion, but for the purpose ol protecting the rights of the South ! Manfully and nobly did that paper grapple with its more power ful but less orthodox (then) opponent, the National Intelligencer.

They do not so treat us the reason of the difference is, unquestionably, the fact that Southern people go North, see things with their own eyes, take an expanded National view of the countrj', learn to respect their Northern breth ren as a people, and to love many of them as indi viduals. Their visits are not returned, save now and then by a drummer or a collector, with seldom intellect enough to appreciate what he might see beyond the idea of the pecuniary responsibility of his customers. The Northern people d-o not under stand the South and its institution. Hence their hostility. Least of all do they understand the aw fiil crisis to which they are rapidly forcing this Union.

And what does the South care whether the personal liber ty act is executed or not, so l)i,g as the fugitive elave law isja dead letter in Massachusetts and in the free States generally.

Our friends of the National Intelligencer, in copying our remarks under the he id "Retaliation," take occasion to reply at con-.-id.Table length to a supposed argument of ours iu t:.vor of a constitutional right to secede peaceably. We hold no such doctrine. " Peaceable hccession" is a humbug. But we claim the right to stay in the Union 011 equal terms, or, those denied, to get out of it by resistance to oppression. Copying a piece from the Nrth American, in relation to an excitement in Pittsburg, upon the rendition of a fugitive slave. The Observer says : "Will the firtelligrncrr contend, in view of such occurrences as this, that the fugitive law is opera tive ? Surely not. The fact is, and is beyond dis nute. that the hazard of life, and the cost in money, re iO great, that the mere attempt ut reclamation is the exception, not the rule. The Intelligencer adds, "Abounding facts show too plainly, that the sen timent of the people, of Massachusetts does not ac cord wit h theirs. The danger might be lessoned, we think, if our respected friendt of the Intelligen cer, who have the ear and the eye of people at the North, (which few Southern papers have,) would plainly tell hi.xi that it exirts.

At tne soutn some nave heroine so iy griev ously mistaken notions, as we think, of the inju rious effects of a tariff, any tariff upon the plant ing States ; and of the greatness to which those planting States might attain, and surely would at tain, as they contend, if cut loose from their North ern oppressors. At the North, the only disunion- tsts are the more rabid aboli innists, who turn up the white of their sanctimonious eyeB against the sin of a union with slavcholders-torgetting thateist in th cours)J destroy the Union which they when enforced at all, at the point of the. bc3-onet. That is a Union which is not worth the name. The South asks nothing but its Constitutional rights. More would be wrong and useless ; less would be dishonorable and only opening the waj' for new aggression. "It is said to hear men talk of dis union and retaliation.'' But it is not the South which seeks cither. Those who disobey the laws. who nullify the Constitution, who will, if they per the people of the North their forefathers stole! the negroes and sold them to the South as slaves. Thi Northern disunion party has rajddly increas ed, and ice fear is likely still more rarndly to in crease. . At the South there is another and growing class of disunionists. They are not disunionists per st, not so because they desire disunion, but because they think they see that a separation is inevitable that the madness of the North is forcing it upon vs that either disunion, or a sacrifice of the rights and honor of the South must occur. TO THIS profess to love, are the real disunionists. If the South resists, it is ki t natural and kioht, and the sin of lhscnion, if it kveit comes, must it est upon the heads of those whose folly has hkovuiit it abolt !! From the Fayetteeille Observer, .Xovetnber 26, 1855. It. is very true that the abolitionists have been defeated, and that is something to be thankful for.

Lut how can wc remain such, ichen the South is ojienly and daUy robbed of its property, and restitution openly refuted in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand ?

No official intelli gence, however, Lad been received. 5F" The Conneti cut Election Returns arc all in. The Republicans loose two members of Congress In one District, the Democrats have always tri umphed until Mr Woodruff, through his popularity was elected t wo years siuce, he is now defeated by J.vs E English. " In the fourth District, represented bv 0. S. Terry, Geo. C. Woodruff, Democrat, is elected this is the only Republican defeat; his ma jority is about 150. Although two Republican congressmen have been defeated, the State has gone largely for the Blacks, j gaining about 1200 upon the vote of one and two years since. The New York Tribune truthfully re marks as follows upon this triumph of Republican ism : . "We are yet without full returns from Oonnecti cut, but the Republican majority for Governor will not probably fall short of 1,800. Last year it was 541, a gain of over 1,100. This result may possibly ferve to open the eyes of the hundreds of respecta ble ire.ntlemen. who. as Mr. Crittenden says, assured him that a great reaction had taken place in the North." Four of the editorial corps of the New York Tri bune have received foreign appointments, viz: Fry, Hildreth, Pike and Harvey. Why not clear out! the whole concern, and send Greely on also r trnich alone the Union tcts effected, cannot expect tha union to sun ice the wrong. AND IT WILL NOT. We make these remarks, even at the expense e-f innicting upon our readers Ha thricc-told tale," in couseqnonce of some views which we find in the National Intelligencer, in reply to the Charleston Mercury. The Mercury belongs to the first class spoken of above. It has long advocated disunion. It does not advocate retaliation but separation.

The Constitution the Federal compact is not, like a partnership between individuals or between two or more firms, to be broken w.benever it may please one of the parties to withdraw from it. It is more in the na ture of a marriage contract, which binds the parties until death shall disolve the connexion: "those whom God hath joined together, let no man put as- uuder." The fact that according to the laws of some of our States divorces of the marriage tie may be somewhat easily obtained does not weaken the similitude. In every case of a divorce, whenever it is granted, the consent of both parties is either given or implied: both husband and and wife are heard before the tribunal by which the desire of tor entirely upon t tstof Oae negro will bo quite enamored with another, whilst a wnitc man looks surd as for the wife to pronounce her own divorce . . . . , A peaceable separation of the States couKi ony with disgust upon both !

To THE ABOVE DOCTRRXE OF CNCONDITIONAL OBE- Let our readers take the above, and then ask us wiry ue are Disunionists ? Why do we favor a sep aration from toe North ? Why do wc consider tliis Union as it exists, not worth preserving ? Who taught us to be D isunionists ? The disunion senti ments of the Obserrer were promulgated long, long before Burlingame, (whom Lincoln lias honored with a foreign mission,) demanded for his party "An anti-slavery bible, and an anti-slavery God !" Tin was before Seward hid pronounced slaveryi the "sum of all villainies. This was before Lincoln was heard of, and before he had declared that "sla very must be placed in process of ultimate extinc" UonP' What change has been felt in Northern sentiment since 7 V hat revoiution nas T.uispntui m mo sen timent of that people to Chtni tho Observer to be such a red rabbll no cafwe-for-disunion-Northern-loving sheet ? Here ate a few of the changes : Emboldened by the tone of papers, similiar to that of the National Intelligencer, which the Observer then condemned, Abolitionism has reared its brazen head high over the Constitution, and the decision of the highest tri bunal in the land. It has desolated the homes of Southern peop. baptized its unwholly warfare with the blood of innocetlt unoffending citizens in Texas, and Virgin ! It has proclaimed, in its unwholly warfare upon us, "death to the knife.'' Encouraged and supported the incendiar w;th n;s blazing torch to consign to the flames, the sleeping victims ! It has poisoned the water which Southern men drank. Not only has it broken the contract, "in tne most essential part," as the Observer "said, but it An in. vaded our soil, and in the words of the OBSERVER, "THERE -will be, THERE MUST BE A DI- VORCK" ! ! ! When the OBSERVER said that, it was honest, pure, and void of all demagogueism. It was honest then, it is now dishonl, or it was then dishonest. Either of these propositions is self evi dent! Talk to us, now, you Whigs who denounce seces sion as a locofoco trick. Dare vou sav so ? Is this not your own doctr.ne, are we not one ? If not, who has abandoned their positiou. Are we not just where you wore in 1835; and if there was cause for secession, tlwn, as the OBSERVER claimed, is there not TEX thousand fold more to-day ? sent to school in Morriston, New Jersey, whence he j was transferred in due time to Dickinson College, j Pennsylvania. Mr Gilchrist's first pastoral charge was the church ! in Walterboro, S C. where he remained about three years. His next and last was the Church in Fay-1 etteville.
