The people of Wilmington whohaYe uttered these expressions will most likely be called very hard names* But they can, doubtless, afford to-be called very hard names. Yet it may be well for those who call them hard names to remember that, in the committee that drafted the resolutions, there was pot an individual who is not a native of the State of North Carolina. the evening previous to publication, and accom paried by the cash.

Two facts must appear conspicuous in regard to the expression., of the people of Wilmington as uttered at the Theatre on Tuesday night. The first fact is that it was a deliberate expres sion. There was no haste manifested in getting up the meeting. Thr^e weeks were allowed to transpire after the national occupancy of the town before die* expression was made. These three weeks gave to the people ample opportunity for reflection, and a- careful study of the situation am! the political bearings of the great issues involved. For the four preceding years they had been shut out from national ?opinions save such as it suited the leaders of the rebellion at Richmond to give to them. They were', therefore, familiar with only one side of the question. During the past three weeks they conversed freely with northern men, read northern journals, and had every facil ity for studying national ideas and purposes. It is bubfair to presume that these opportunities and facilities- were improved, and the result is made manifest in the expression so deliberately made. It was not the result of excitement nor haste. A more dispassionate expression could net well have byon made. ' • T’ o othorfact so conspicuous is that th^ex- ■pression was wholly untrammelled. ‘The meeting was assembled on the call of the Mayor of the town. The call embraced all parties,; everybody who was a citizen of Wilmington. It was called simply to “ consult together on the best interests of the city and State.” In this secessionists as well as union men were interested. They were all invited. The report of th? meting wliich we -JUAtfid yesterdays shows that many who were, before the national occupancy of the city, violent secessionists, aecepted/he invitation and attended the meeting. At the meeting they were frequently “invited by the chairman to express their opinions if they wished to do so. -Those who should be opposed io the proposed expression were not only afforded an opportunity to vote against it, but were repeatedly called upon to advocate their views. Not a voice was heard in opposition to the action taken. This was not the result of intimi dation. A guard of national- soldiers were sta tioned outside the door with strict orders from the military authorities to admit none but citizens. None^but citizens were there. It could not have been fear, therefore, that prevented the expression of opposing views. Men talk freely to their own •neighbors. Men expressed themselves freely at this meeting. If they did not it-was their own fault. The resolutions were adopted with perfect unanimity, and hearty and general-applause. Therefore, the resolutions adopted on Tuesday night must be accepted as the deliberate, unbias sed expression of the views of the people of Wil mington. Now what are these views ? First A cheerful submission to national author- MEXICAN AFFAIRS.- The news from Mexico is highly important- ’Despatches from the capital of that country, brought by the steamship Eagle, which arrived a New York on the 9th, from Havana on the 4th^ inst., are exceedingly interesting. The Empire of Maxamilian has been recognized by the British government, and its minister, Hon. Peter Cartip* bell Scarlett, has arrived in the city of Mexico and had his imperial reception. The particulars are furnished*of the previously announced capture of the city of Oajaca and its republican garrison of five thousand men by the imperial forces under Marshal Bazaine. It appears that General Por firio Diaz, the republican commander in that city, was not killed, as has been stated, but was cap tured,-and had made his submission to the empire. We have also accounts of the. capture by the imperialists of the republican armies at'Jalisco, Tolucca and Zacatlan and the republican Generals Rojas and Romero. The capturq and death of Rojas, who was a famous guerilla chief, have been already announced. Austrian and Belgian troops for the Emperor Maximilian continued to arrive in Mexico, and Jhe imperial army was being thoroughly organized, the empire being divided into seven military districts. President Juarez still exercises governmental functions in the city of Chihuahua, and some triumphs of republican arms in Sinaloa were reported, but the opinion is. expressed that all material opposition to the im perial government has been overcome. The i Americans in . Mexico celebrated Washington’s birthday. Humbug.—We have received the circular of a grand gift enterprise with the following note ; 116 Broadway, New York.. Messrs. Publishers:—L\you will give the first page of enclosed circular ■ six insertions in your valuable journal, we will present you a handsome California diamond cluster b^som and scarf pin, with chain, pin and ball accompaniment, of a most fashionable and, unique design, neatly cased and forwarded by mail. Very truly, T. & H. GAUGHAN & Co. We decline inserting the advertisement at any price, for the reason that we are not willing to lend our columns to the furtherance of a swindle on the soldiers and the public. No valuable jewelry can be sold for one dolbira pfece, regard less of the character of the article. Therefore there must be a-swindle somewhere in the oper^ alien.- Then we arc offered-some bogus diamond jewel-; ry, ■worth, perhaps, .to sell, two or three dollar ity, and a solemn pledge of loyal obedience and General Grau£% Order Respect-Sing KefocS Deserters.
