Our government was unlike any other, and we proudly thought it te het. If there was any real evil in it, it was, that every man's surroundings wer eoyperior that be cloy, ed in the vse of there, and felt more like a oidHarth to be ministered unto, than as a Citizen among eqalau r ' But a crisis earner A faction triumphed. Our strength was weakness. And this great country and happy people were severed in twain. A line divides it and them. For a time, there were those on both Hides the line, who thought the gouernment equal to the crisis ; that the faction was but is one to two, and that two were stronger than one; that the evil would last but fur the night, and that joy would come in the morning; that this, the fairest experiment of a free government, bad not proved a failure, and ought not to fail f who loved the country for its grandeur, and the government for its ex cellency ; who were ashamed of the world's taunt, that we bad boasted for nothing; who loved peace and its blessifigs, and feared i war and its calamities. liut, when the line was drawn and there were two countries, these same hesitated Mt a moment as to their position or duties. -True to the whole while it a one, as true, to the half which fell to them: patriots then, patriots now. With the division came wart what they ex- Dected. what ther dreaded, what thev would, I have avoided. But, when it came, no cheek, n blanched, no muscle reiaxed.no nerve un- st run jr. no heart fainted, t No, thev face the ! foe aprmg M arm ran to the belu dire the encounter ngiit the battles are jovous ; ,ic!ort-t d undaunted by reverses.

And they, on one side and the other, were ene- mies, and neither would preserve it as the other chose, so they rent it asunder., For tieillier was the trut mothtr I .That each of tnee ("ct'0, huld hate the other, excites , no gurprige ncept with such philowiphera ' juf,poe thrt fellows in miacbief ought to love one another. But that the faction on lfci j,01Jjj 04le thrir Dt.ighbors on this j hide who, although they loved the oM Ln- ion ouce, love the new Union n'jw, au have consideration of two-thirds or the good pen consecrated themsrhes to its preservation pie of North Carolina is, whether they will is a matter of aitonUhment to every virtu- submit f such an imputation ? n imputa- vjus mind, and can onlv be accounted for unon the hynotheaia, that just as they loved faction better than the old, so they love fac- tion better than the new Union party bet- ter than country taUehouu wetter than truth malignity better than amiability vice better than virtue. I am led to these remarks by the leading editorial of the State Journal in Its iseue a( Nov. tGtti. 1BG1. If the editor had said, the same outside the Jnurnal, I will not underlate to say to what . ii .:.i.r t... : i - . UKl lie rnmiru. uui n is in the Journal, and the Journal is, but what the Journal is, you mut learn from a proper time and not until then, asserted the Journal itself. It says: their indenendence. And, in doing so, they "The State Journal came into existence committed but ne blunder. Just as a fac under peculiar circumstances, and at the tion had obtained possession of the Federal stormiest period of our country's existence, government, and were usng it for wicked The party in the Slate who ends, so a faction had obtained possession of strove to stem the torrent of Northern sg- f the government of North Carolina and w ere greasion from its earliest inception to this using it for wicked ends. And, when we moment, brought the State Journal into ex- threw oflT one faction we ought to have istence. Except in the; failure thrown orT both, and inaugurated a new to call a Convention of the people to take North Carolina out of the old Union, and unite her destinies with those of her South ern sUters, the principles which we advo cate have received no poptdar reverse dur ing our ahort existence." It i then with the Journal at a party or ean thit w e have to do-a party that has the ,'.v .

Still, if I thought the party were ashamed of It, al one of those thing which Impudence dares in those infei riors which superior! are aometimes obliged to employ, I would not notice it.' But, it is apparent enough thai what the Journal says ia but what the party frcti and aanctioni.

Y A" now, see jthat we had prophets of Baal among us ; but the'lrue God has reveal ed their wickedness, covered, their counsels with confuiion and shame, arid set a hideous mark upon their brow by which they may hereafter be known by the people. Let them no longer aspire to speak in the name of a people whom their, teachings have deceived, or of a country whose present sufferings must in a great measure be ascribed to their wicked counsels." , , " . eain it says i , " It is a strange but pleasing coincidence that the first number of our new volume should be the herald to our readers of a new victory by the triumph of the elecloral ticket advocated by this paper and its polit ical confreres, a victory by no means insig nificant of the popular will or fraught with meagre results. ' " This is a specimen of the editorial which is a column and a half long. Now from thii I find it charged that North Carolina has been handed over to the North bound and in tears, by the wicked counsels of somebody, and that these wicked coun selors have now "hideous marks on their brows," by which they are known and are to beknown. And further, that these same persons are still. at their 'mischievous work, and a new victory has just been achieved over them in the electoral vote., ' ' Is it true then, that there has been a mis chievous part? in North Carolina; and that that party, in February last, numbered two to one tuajniitv ?(Fr such was the conserva- tive majority at that lime.) ' And that such a parly still exists, and has lobe conquered, and marked on the brow as unworthy of confidence? That is what the government organ siys! Now if Lincoln' organ had said it, it would have been set down to cross delusion r wicked falsehood. Hut why inaf not Lincoln s organ say it and believe it o i Does not the Journal s-iy it? And is the government organ so untruthful tha ern Lincun. um notu.ieve.tr Jia- lignity it may have, enough to disrredit a dozen journals ; bat how dues Lincoln know- it r II it had age enough, I dare say its - lenity would be known funhr off than Waahtngton ; but can it have become sm Bw torioua in a year? Why, the enemy will rely upon flie testimony ot a spy, a deserter or traitor js the Journal meaner than these? , No wonder then that Lincoln now charges, that he has a large party of friends in North Carolina, and ail ovr the South, The government organ here aavs it U so, and Lincoln ought to be excused (hardly?) for believing it. Now the question which l submit for the tioti which is not simply made in the organ of the party, but which is verified in the practice of the government. Not only does the Journal say they are not to be trusted, but the government refuses to trust toetn. Thie who deiied to avoid this war, if honorably it could be avoided, were not parly. They were never organized a a nartv. They weae the neonle inditcrimi- nately of all partieg.

We put our mantles upon our shoulders and walked backwards to cover its faults. IF complaint was made at all, it was with closed doors) so anxious were we, that our great enemy should know tli at there was not a single fault any where. . . , ' H While the people were thuT united and loyal, what has been,' the course of the fic tion in power?. The new state of things re quired tljit many oRicei and ptacel of trust of. great responsibility should be created. ahu u anecieu tne property, tne reputation, the lives and the liberties of the whole peo-: pie, and, the very,' existence vof the ' State, that these offices should be filled with the' best men we had, without regard to party. and with regard only to fitness.'" Have they Deen so nuea r ii may oe gramea, lor tne sake of the argument, that the secession party, numberjng one-third, had a propor tionate number with the conservative party,' numbering two-thirds; of the best men in the State. If then the offices had been fill ed with reference to merit only, there would" have been one-third secessionists, and two- thirds conservatives. But how ia the fact? Every single important placed civil and mil- itary, (or if there be any exceptions they; are only txctptioni for some peculiar reasons the rule being as I state,) has been 'filled with secessionists! Now, if this just iap- penti so, let it pass, for I concede that it makes no diflerence now, whether one in of fice is a secessionist or a conservative. But if it is so by design, then the government is a faction, a party, a tyranny. , If this dis tinction is made upon the ground that the conservatives are not to be trusted, then I say unhesitatingly, and with emphasis, that the government so acting, is not fit to be trusted. If it be true, that two-thirds of the patriot citizens of North Carolina hate hideous marks on their brows," put there by the government which they are poaring out their treasures and their blood to sup port, then the government In acting against its .citizens, is an intolerable nuisance. These are no ordinary times. They are times when traitor means something. Thev are times when, if a citizen allows the mark to be nut on his brow, then he is a traitor to himself, if not to hi State. I do not hesi tate to say, that if such a course is to be pursued, then, just as we took our lives in our hand to oppose one faction that would oppress us, so we will take our lives in our hands to oppose another faction that would' oppress us. , " , ,Tiat this oppression of "a mark or? the bifow, is In the purpose of the seces-ion fac tion, depend, not alone on the testimony of the State Journal, but, it is abundantly ' evident from the prac'ic of that party in ihe government." I need not again to state, that conservatives are excluded from every important place of trust in the government, or, to reiterate that that would make it tlif ftreoce it it only happened so; or, if those in place were p're-eminently fitted for the service they have to perform. Hut, it is notorious, that men are put iu place because they were secessionists, and men are kept out, because they were contervaiies. It is also notorious, that while there were in any very worthy men of the secession party, yet, as a rule, they were men f violent pasion. and wanting in, prudence and ' discretion. And it ia iimnnou that the conservatives weie.at a rule, the reverse of this. Vet, at a time when the State needs all her pru le nee, discretion and power, her deatiniea are, almost altogether, in the hands of pas' ionate indiscretion, and of malignant imbe rility. And, even these, and whatever of force there is in them, instead of being vied against our common enemy, are turned a gainst our own citizen; and occupy them, selves in putting marks upon their brow, by which they are to be known and digrat rd, if they shall be so unfortunate a to es cape with their lives from the condat with the enemy. But, after all, probably tin ia mercy to the State : for, if not thu engaged in venting theii malignity against the fiiemls' of the State at home, tney might be employ, ed in prrparmg other traps lor them, at llatteras, from which the only escape would be to ihe dungeon of the enemy ; nd rniht be preparing other facilities by whirh the enemy could invade our soil, andpoenr property. It may be that their meanness to the Irieuda of the Stat,e at home, is less in jurious than would be their pusillanimity if exhibited in the face of the enemy. If they woufd allow the beat of those whom they employ to improve the advanta get of any position in which they my be put, they might, in time, after many mishaps, brrotne reasonably proficient ; and the coun try would have confidence, that what was wanting in fitness at first, might b supplied by experience. But, so anxious are they U exhibit their favorites in every place, that one is not allowed to fit himself for toe du ties of one position to which he has been called, before lie is put into another position, where he must strain anew his tired and worn faculties. One can hardly make him self an efficient Quartermasteror Coinmia ry before he is made ati in-efficient Colonel to hide which he must be made a redicu lous General. Another, by loil and expo sure may make himself l good soldier, and immediately find himself made an apprentice udge (and doubtless, in timea good one,) ud that t; IbXexcftti-ion of one who longed for the place, and differed not at all from the best, friend he bad, in supposing himself te May I ti-w TM0ty n
