Somebody '&t -tho North has coined this new word a word of horrible meaning not found in the dictionaries,but which is applied in lieu of amalgamation. Upon this Governor Vance'a Illieloric, - word the agitators are having a aengnuui ais s "We hare no doubt that Governor Yance has cussion, conducted with' great' earnestness by rightly understood the dishonesty of the rebel a portion of the New York Editoral fraternity, leaders in their pretended doctrine of the which proves our brethren are very hort of "right of secession." From the bitterness of argumentative stock and possessed with a very hlIale speech at Wilkesboro, we should think low sort af taste. - We suppose the object o he had been drinking recently .at the fountains those who so; fluently discus3 the; question o of call and vindictiveness at Richmond.

It is a twin brother of slayer government ensures to her, and votes herself ry, and .has always gone hand in hand with out of tW Confederacy, Jeff Davis and his the peculiar and inhuman institution of the Southern States. Slaveholders and their sons, and some who are neither the one of the 6th er," have practiced ; Miscegenation" . to their hearts content. We have evidence of It before our eyes every day we find evidence of it on despotic crew will declare war against her a a foreign stale . .:'. : .' The pretended right of secession is all a sham, and as soon as North Carolina attempts1 to exercise - it in a way to interfere with, the " ambitious purposes of the men who invented every street and in nearly every house in New it, it will be set aside by a piece of. political Berne "Miscegenation "; is emphatically a trickery worthy of its source.

There is an old proverb aoout "whipping the as a direct result of slavery, should reflect no d-l around a stump," but wo never saw a discredit and be allowed to increase no unjust more infamous illustration of it than the' one prejudice. agamst the; colored people, the vie which Governor Vance exposes!

The gist of his argument is ucated in the jlow school of morals taught by these chitalric Miscecehators. . Is it not a fact - j - - , - . . that a large portion of the . colored people o! the South have more or less white blood in their veins ? 1 Is it not a ifact known and un derstood by all, that here in New-Berno were slaves as whit$ as any 'white men at the Torth ? Is it not a fact that a thousand colored citizens of Louisiana, -sons of "Miscegeniting" slave holding sires who pay, taxes on fifteen millions of property arc petitioning Congress that their rights may be recognized and they be allowed a voice in the igoverriment they support ? As slaveryf totters and falls before the on ward march of public j 'opinion and Federal ar mies, so will VMt'scecrenation" die out of itself and be looked upon hereafter as one the hor rible adjuncts! of slaVery. There is no rieed of discussion- on this subject no need of, argu ment, for "Miscegenation will be regulated by the natural course of events and be sustained or fall just as slavery is sustained or annihila ted. So too will the heero riseor fall exactly in-proportion is he' demonstrates his manhood. If he i proves (himself j worthy of publicr confi dence, he will! rescue-it, and the fact that he is or is not a living example of "Miscegenation" as practised' by the "chivalry" of these South ern States, will have no sort of weight in form ing an estimate, of 'his character - M , Tio tern from .Wntbingtoii, IV.
