THB SKIES BRIGHTER.
We think we can discover indications tit A bet-:
ter state of feeling at thereat of Grovernment, and
of a growing disposition among all to effect scan
compromise of the unhappy differences between
tbe North and South, that now so seriously me
nace the integrity of the Union." Mr. ClaIt's late
great speech, the influence of his magic; name,
and the weight of those warning counsels which
have never been heeded but with good jvesults,
seem to have wrought a strong impression upon
the public mind, and, to a considerable extent, a
decided change for the better, in the deliberations
of Congress. We have the assurance of the dis
tinguished author, that he is, by no means, exclu
sively wedded to his own particular plan of com
promise highly -objectionable to the South, as
we deem it, in several important particulars but
that it is simply designed as an entering wedge to
further attempts at pacification, and that he will
support any measure at all likely to restore har
mony and quiet to our distracted Country. - Un
der such assurances, while we cannot regard Mr.
Clay's Resolutions as sufficiently conciliatory to
the South, we honor the patriotic motives which
have prompted their introduction. We look with
much hope to Mr. Clat's efforts in behalf of the
Union. He has come forward, in the autumn of
his years, to battle again in its defence -r the armor
of his palmy days yet sets weA upon his limbs,
and the blows of his gant arjtr are still strong and
sure. In throwing himself between the contend
ing parties, his blows may not altogether be equal
ly divided ; but then his impulses are those of a
patriotic impetuosity to maintain those bonds of
Union, which a long and distinguished experience
has convinced him, are essential to the preserva
tion of Republican liberty.
The position already taken, or about to be taken
by all the Southern States, with regard to the ag.
itation in which their rights and interests4 are in
volved, will, we trust, satisfy the considerate and
reflecting people of the North, that it is unwise
and dangerous to persist in the spirit of aggression
whhh has been manifested of late in their section
of the country. It is time now for the prudent
and discreet men of the North, to unite with the
prudent and discreet men of the South, in bring
ing about reconciliation and harmony. If justice
and good sense can prevail, this result can yet be
effected. Would it not be well for all of us, du
ring, what we conceive to exist, this temporary
lull in the strife of opposing elements, to reflect
fully upon the dismal consequences that must in
evitably succeed a continued and precipitate indul
gence in tbe angry feelings that have thus far
characterized the present session of Congress ji
We imagine that those, North and South, who
talk so familiarly of a dissolution of the Union,
have given but little consideration to the grave to
pic upon which they descant with such fluency.
Have they asked themselves where the line of
seperation is to take place ? And have they con
templaled the .necessary consequences that are to
ensue 1
We hazard little in saying, that North Carolina
would be very slow to acquiesce in the severance
of the Union. Any action of Congress touchinff
the institution of slavery, as it exists within her
borders,, would arouse every heart, and nerve eve
ry arm to resistance she is the last State in
the Union that would submit to an invasion of
Constitutional rights; but we apprehend that
while Congressional legislation keeps within the
pale of the Constitution, as sanctioned by the Su
preme Court and by precedent, she will never
listen to disunion

customed ,to cherish a sacred, reverence for' the
Union, which will listen to none of the grovelling
suggestions of interest. They cherish it as the
inestimable legacy of patriot fathers, whosetwis-
dom and patriotism' framed it, as the only safe
guard of liberty itself. But we have thought fit
to consider the question hi its lowest point of view,
and to show how essential is the Union to the ev
ery day interests of the people. -
We might show E r 'intimately the welfare of
the North is interwoven with the Union and
how its dissolution would be a death-blow to Nor
thern prosperity, by cutting off to a considerable
extent, the domestic market, which is worth more
than all others. But addressing ourselves to Sou
thern readers, we leave the task of enlarging on
this branch of the subject to Northern men, who
are interested. In a mere pecuniary point of view,
we believe the North would suffer more than the
South, provided that peace could be preserved

continual source of irritation would exist in the
escape of slaves from the Southern to the North

ings which would be engendered by the act of se
paration itself, that war would result from this
source ? The very fact that both people speak
the same language, would be a source of iiritatton.;
Every ill-natured expression and every bitter par-
agragh, as has been remarked by Dr. Chansujg,
emanating from one side, would be immediately

In such a state of things, it would be natural
for the weaker party :o seek alliances with some
European State and loubtless England would
be glad to signalize her magnanimity and disinter
estedness, as she hr.s done repeatedly in the East
Indies. There, when she becomes the pacificator
between belligerent Nabobs, she always manages
to settle the dispute by annexing them both to her
dominions. In our case, she would be satisfied
with taking the Southern Confederacy under her
especial guardianship and protection.

doubted not that I should find you, the steady and
unflinching frieuds of the Union of these States.
Have the gentlemen in Congress calculated the
length and the breadth, the heighth and the depth,
of the evils which they would bring,on our devo
ted, country by the disunion which they speak so
lightly of? Shall we dissolve our society into its
elements? Shall we put out all the lights of the
past, and grope our way .through revolution, I
along with France, and Italy, and Austria, in :
quest ol more liberty, more security, and more
happiness than we now enjoy? Dissolve the
Union! Who are to be our new partners? Where
will be our lines of separation ? I write; on the
banks of the Mississippi, Will the States above
like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other every
year springing into being, consent to have the
mouth of this noble river closed against them ?
Louisiana is bound to the States of the Northwest
by a thousand ties, any one of which is indissolu
ble. But what shall we do with the Navy ?
What with the National Debt? On which side
of the border will be Western Virginia ; which
Maryland ; which Kentucky ; which Missouri?
The truth is, a dissolution of the Union is Anar
chy. It isnot in the wit of man to present a
plan for a quiet, sober, settling down of the peo
ple of the United States under any new organiza
tion. The effort will be ruinous to our happiness,
and disgraceful to the civilization of the age.
Suppose, for an instant, that we had a Southern

The Northern part of our Southern Confederacy
Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky would be
the manulactunng States. They would aavocaie
a tariff of protection at the first Congress. The
ire of South Carolina would be aroused. Nay,
more, the gradual reduction of the slaves in these
Stales would soon give rise to an Abolition move
ment. Another dissolution must take place, and
anather; until some one State would stand alone,
the solitary champion of the slave interest. The
evils complained of by tbe South cannot be cured,
even by the desperate' remedy proposed,
I am delighted to find in General Taylor a fast
and uncompromising friend of Union. His name
and influence are a tower of strength. I am glad
that we have tbe proof of his calm intrepidity, his
sterling good sense, and his devoted patriotism ;
they are invaluable guarantees at the present mo

appreciate them. Should the . people, on reflec

than Mr. Gilmer. We know the man his
industry, ability f indomitable energy of char
acter, and thp unaffected home-bred sympa
thy with the people which he holds by inher
itance, by constant association, and by choice.
But to say nothing of the wear, tear and
expense of an active canvass the event of
his election uould be little short of a disas
ter to him, as it would be to any other com
paratively young man with a rising family
around him dependent upon his own person
al exertions, and not upon an inherited for
tune, for support. It is a fact that the Exe
cutive station, with the limited salary attach
ed and the liberal scale of expenditure which
custom renders necessary, presents little but
splendid ruin to the citizen of moderate cir
cumstances who may be called upon to oc
cupy it.
While paying to Mr. Gilmer this tribute,
which all who know him will heartily en
dorse, we are not to be understood a throw
ing any thing in. the way of a renominatipn
of Governor Manly. For ourselves, we re
gret to see any lack of unanimity in his fa
vor ; though a great variety of preference
has always heretofore been expressed on
similar occasions all differences being heal
ed and unanimity produced by the State
Conventions. . Within the range of our cir
culation, we are confident Gov. M. would
command the undivided support of his party.

Agricultural Exhibitions Horace
.Greely, of the New York Tribune, in writing
from the Mate 1 air at Syracuse, thus speaks
ot the utility ot such exhibitions :
" There cannot be less than two or three
hundred different kinds of agricultural imple
ments on exibition here horse rakes, cul
tivators, straw cutters, subsoils and other
ploughs, new beehives, water-wheels, horse
power saws, &c. &c. I have considered this
altogether the most important feature of the
Fair. A great ox may be reared by a great
er fool ; but no man who ever worked ayear
at farming can spend a day among these im
plements and , inventions without being stim
ulated to think. The great1 end of all such
exhibitions is an improvement of the breed
of farmers of men. Now, the man who has
been skimming ovef a hundred acres of land
for the last twenty or thirty years, ploughing
six inches deep, manuring j with his good
wishes, and growing fifteen br twenty bush
els of corn to the acre, cannot spend a day in
one of these fair enclosures, without being
startled and ashamed. These subsoil ploughs .
one of which, properly used) would -double 1
his product of corn and vegetables, and in I
dry weather treble it these straw cutters,
with one of which his scanty crop of hay
might have been made, with the aid of straw,
stalks, &c., to winter his stock bountifully
these cultivators, seed-planters, horse-rakes,
and other labor-saving implements, must set
him thinking. ,
What sort of crop do those farmers obtain
who use such implements ? Who make the
most by farming the fifteen or; the fifty
bushel- corngrowers ? What sort of farmers
is it who are able to buy land when! any is
for sale low for cash ? What sort of farming
leaves land in a condition to sell advantage-
