J."! say the, leaders of the JDemoc-
racy, ''claim much credit to tliemseles for having
chepked the spirit of Disunion in the South es
pecially in Mississippi and Georiga but they are
indebted to us Democrats, for saving the Union,
for if some of us had not voted for Cobb and sup

those States, McDonald, Quitman, and all the Se

gress, would have been elected, and then the Union

The meaning of which, is this: "Ah! if some of
our party bad not been recreant, enough to join
the Whigs and defeat the machinations of our
leading men, McDonald, Quitman, Davis, Rliett
and others, by electing Cobb, and the other Un
ion Candidates at the South, wx, (the Secession
isis. and real State Rights Party,) would have
shaken down the pillars of the Union, and had a
'Southern Confederacy," in short order !''
There is a dt-greo of brazen impudence in the
.language' and tone of the leaders of the Democra
cy, and especially some of their Editors, whilst
speaking of the recent political struggles in the
Souih, which canirot find a parrellel in all the his

done something to save the Union ! And pray
what can they do They are in the minority, and
have but tour or five Governors out of thirty oue !
They have had to burrow a Governor or two from
the Democracy ! They,(i corporal's guard,) talk

the telegraphic news of the events at New Or
leans, a proposition was made inthe crowded
Cafe Luizo, (Swiss Coffee House) to go and in-
wit the American Minister in like maimer; but,
by the efforts of wine more 'sensible people, the
demonstration was prevented.
The "Intelligencer" well remarks, in connec
tion with these facts, that it is a matter of regret
that the anger of Spain is treated by some of our
presses vtith ridicule ami tlw tiwaa at her rwhlic
journals with scorn. In a righteous cause, we
ahoiild regard the menaces ot another nation as
lightly as any of our contemporaries; but, in all
caaes of national complaint, whether it come from
a weak or a strong nation, our first care should be
to see whether we have given just cause of offencej
not whether our adversary be weak or powerful.
Seldom can a misunderstand ing arise between
hone&t Governments which friendly explanation

nursing the most bitter hostility towards the Un

themselves the confidence of a patriotic people !
Now; how stands the truth of the matter ? The
political history of the last three years cannot Oe
belied without detection It is too impressively
written upon the minds and hearts of our People.
In reference to that. Demagogues will be unable
io deceive them. , Tt cannot be denied with any
shadow of truth, Owl the Dtm cratic party at the
South have adopted ike dectrine (f Secession as

their Country from tne ruin and disgrace which
that very party was endeavoring to bring upon it!
In Georgia, thrice glorious Georgia, how was
it? The friends of the Union met,. and recom
mended for Governor one of the most popular
men ojf the Democratic Party, one Whose Democ
racy cpuld not be doubted. He, had every person
al qualification to recommend him to the support
of his 'entire Party. But this they resolved not to
give, $nd uhy? He had sustained the Compromise
and wa$ opposed to Secession, and those, who ad
vocated it ! These were political sins of sufficient
.enormtty.,to hriug bum under the odium, of the
Democratic Party of that State, and accordingly
tliey declared "war to the knife" against him, and
hoisted the name of McDonald as their- leader,
whose known opposition to the Compromise and
affection for Secession they thought would be
sufficient to secure him the support, the undivided
support of his party ! But they had mistaken the
character jhepatriotic people of Georgia!
They indignantly rejected the golden bribe they
scouted the insidious and cunning heresy which
was to eclipse all the glory of their glorious Coun

which is reveberating from every mountain top
and through every valley of the whole nation I
Who achieved this victory Was it done by the
Democracy of Georgia, as a Party ? No. Had
the wishes of that Parly prevailed, had their policy
been carried out, Georgia would have been long
before this, chained to the car of Secession ! To
the Whigs and the noble Democrat?, who broke
the fetters of Party, and seized the standard of iheir
Country as the one under which every patriot
should fight in times of peril, we are indebted for
those political victories, which hare been achieved
in the South, and which we regard as second in
importance only to JLhose conflicts by which our
Independence and free Constitution were secured !
Again we say: -'Huzza for those gallant patriots,
Cobb and Foo.te! Three times three for the glo
rieus victories which hare been achieved over De
mocratic Secession isis by the Union Whigs and
Union Democrats of the South !"

that the onlv disaffected State ic the Soutb has

It is a source of great gratification, and the pre

what they could to defeat it in the first instance,
and in the next place, to render it, nven after it
became the law of the land, obnoxious to the
People !
We say these two positions cannot be shaken,
viz: 1st. That the Democratic Party at the
South is the Secession Party. 2rd. That the
Democratic Party at the South were the Anti
Comproinb? Party.
They kept these two cardinal principles promi
nently in view, in all their movements. At the,
head and front of their column, arrayed in order"
of battle, was Sritlh Carolina, who was so hot up
on carrying out Secession, that munitions of war
were prepared cannon were ruouldud, muskets
purchased, drill musters and reviews held, officers
designated, a standard, (with all the appropriate
andj threatening devices of "separate State action"
paiijited thereon,) prepared : She was selected as
thei leader of the desperate and daring expedition
ajrainst the Union !

ted by the People of that gallant State. He was
the Candidate of the Pa'rty, and upon him they,
as a Party, staked their all! The Whigs de
feated him !
In Mississippi, they selected Quitman . (who was
also in office and possessed over his opponent that
much advantage,) to lead their anti Comptomise
and Secession forces to victory, as they then
thought. He was the nominee of the Parly
brought forward with a full knowledge of the fact
that he had favored the Southern Congress, was
for Secession, for breaking up the Union, and for
the formation of a Southern Confederacy !
And pray who defeated the plans of this Ajax
Tel anion ol Secession, this leading spirit of dis
cord, and drove him in disgrace from the field?
The Whigs, aided with many patriotic. Democrats
who were opposed to Secession and favored the
Compromise, achieved the glorious victory. Led

tbati too will be signally defeated, and that such
defeat will be the doom of the DisunionisU of t'ic
South'.
In Alabama, the same thing was witnessed.

We, the undersigned, ciiizens of the town of
Tarborough, impressed with the liveliest sense of
the important motives which influenced the wise
and virtuous members of the grand Federal Con
yention,held at Philadelphia, beg leave to approach
your Excellency, and express our sincere appro
bation of ihe zeat yoo h"Svedisjljret9 csnneet the
Slate of North Carolina to the general Union,
and to those blessings and happy consequences we
expect to flow from a free and energetic govern
ment. It is a duly we owe to ourselves, our
country and posterity, to publish every testimony
of reprobation of the unhappy issue ol that public
measure which c'aimed the attention of our late
Convention in Hillsborough, and to record also
our unequivocal applause of the virtue, patriotism
and exertions oi eighty two statesmen, whose wis
dom and characters we trust will yet preserve all
that we conceive precious in this life, to ourselves
and future generations.
United in the principles of your Excellency,
we contemplated with emotions of pleasure and
regret, this small, but wise and firm band siru
jling against a torrent ol popular phrenzy , excit -d
evidently to extinguish w ha lever hope remained
to restore pubiic faith, revive c inmorce and pro
mote agriculture ; and though the efforts proved
unsuccessful, ihey are not less entitled to our
gratitude ; at least their exertions, and the federal
principles of our uumerous adherents, may pre
serve us from indiscriminate odium, and proba
bly recommend us at some future hour of calm
ness and moderation, to our place in ihe united
government, the only rock i1 salvarion on which
we can repose with confidence and safety.
Weli assured t .at the most decerning of the ma
jority begin uowl to comprehend ihe danger into
which their conduct was calculated to involve their
country, themselves and their fellow citizens we
puolisu this declaration of our principles, determ
ining to rise and lall with the Union of America ;
supplicating your Excellency to employ all con
stitutional means and influence in your power to
convince the adopting States, or their Kxecutives.
that Nonh Carolma ought not to be included in

of her most respectable ci izens are stdl attached

VIEW OF A9HEVILLE
We are indebted to the publisher, James M. Edney,
editor of the " Messenger," for a copy of his fine en
graving of the " View of Asheville and the Moun
tains from the Summer House." This engraving is j
gotten up in a siyle that reflects no little credit upon
the taste of the publisher, and the view which it re-
preaents is, undoubtedly, one of the finest in the
world. The picture would adorn any parlor ; and as
North Carolinians are justly proud of the beautfiul
scenery, which distinguishes the Western part of the
State, and renders it, in the estimation of its sons, the
,l Garden of Eartli," we hope to see it in every parlor.
We are requested by Mr. Ednby to state, that co
pies of the Engraving will be forw arded to any part
of the SUte, free of postage, for $2, each, for the
plain, and 2 50, each, for tke colored ones.

It ia to be recretled that the names of those who
signed the address are not given in the Gazette.
We have reason to tninK that tney constituted, or
at least represented a majority ol the lown, as in
the Convention held in fayettevilie ou fhe lOih
November 1789, the County ol Kdgecombe voted
unanimously for the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States. The names of its delegates
were E heldred Gray, Elheldred PhiMips, Thomas
Blunt, J. HUliard, and William Foot. Of these
Mr. Gray was absent. The names of the other
four are recorded in the affirmative, and the reso
lution passed, as ycu are aware, by a vote of 190
to 76 j a majority no doubt in some degree to be
ascribed to the taste which North Carolina had
already enjoyed of separate Secession, or if you
will, of Co-operation, as we were backed by Rhode
Island.

Mr. Editor : As Cotton picking seems to be
HAVING made arrangements to leave the
State, at furthest by the first of December,
and tiaving disposed of my-interest to Isaac Procter,
(my partner for the last eight years,) I take plea
sure in recommeauing lam totnose who nave stood
by me so long, as a gentleman every way worthy
of their confidence and support.
I look upon Mr Procter, without attempting to
disparage others, and what 1 say kow: must be be
lieved, (being totally disconnected with' htm in busi
ness) as being the very best cutter I ever saw. He
will be assisted by Geo L. Gould, a pupil ot mine,
who has been cutting all the Coats made up for our
customers for the last fourteen months, and has no
superior iu that department. 1 have left in the
concern all the patterns I have of my customers scat
tered all over the istale, and they may rely upon
being as laitntuuy secvea, Having tbeir clotnes as
well cut aud made, and the quality of the mate ials
just such as wou'.d be furnished, were ' The BUG,'
present in "propria persoiutJ' I have laboured
hard to build up a business in North Carolina, and
desire that those who have patronised me should
continue to upoold my late partner, particularly
when assured by mc, that they will be as well serv

ON Saturday, the 20 h day of Dcember next,

the matter of Thomas J. Portia and others, heirs St
law of John fortis, deceased, the celebrated. sod.
tar famed Gold Mines, knownj as jbe PO 11113'
MINES
The said mines are situated ni f rankhn Covnty
about thirty miles from Halifax town, tweuty miles

The tract of land contains about 1300 acres, lying
immediately on Shcco creek, and for farming pur
. 1 . 1 1 - a 1 a. . I. '
pose alone, is a vatuame estate, om us agricultu
ral value is completely eclipsed by its immense val
ue as a mine.
There have been few inslaucesin North Caroli
na, where an estate of such vast magnitude has
been offered for sale publicly.
Thexe mines have been wonted about 18 years
and it is estimated that a million of dollars hsve
been dug out of them nd there are parts of then
now as rich as the sands oi ine oucramento.
A larre portion of the lands the Tery ehotet
parts, were carefully reserved by the late proprietor,
FUILU UV m I T. " J a ..... -- 4
The valao and richness ot tneae reserves are be
yond all human calculations. An effort will bo

made to tnvj.ie. tne mining -u.j, w u io oriog 100

ry few men being able to purchase the whole estate.
To the enterprising Capitalist here is s aaost ia

huge (.iles ofrockaud saud, by the ignorant thought
valueless, under tne control of scientific ni4n, Wc-ukl
yield unnumbered thousand, after paying the cost
of machinery an 1 labor.
In many parts of the reserves it is beleived that
every cart-load of gravel will produce a penny,
weight of gold dust. The water to wash is closeat
hand, aud timber and fuelia abundance oa the land.
The dwel ing bouse is large aud cosvenirat also
a larre number of framed negro houses, almost new.
toge her ith every necessary out house, .-Thle
land is sold for division among the numerous heirs
and it must go for what it will briDg. A tredit of
one, two and three years will be giyen and bonds
bearing interest from tbe 1st of January next, well
secured, will be required of tbe purchaser, and pos
session given on the 1st of January IS 52. Letters
addressed to me at Louisburg will recelye prompt
