The infamous Re- publican organization can only look to-the Free Btates for success, and the recent results in a number of these States show that it meets with no favor in them, and has but little to expect from them next year.

We are compelled, then, to look about for a great national organization of the conservative elements of the country, under whose banner all may unite in making common cause against loco focoum.

In rone word, let us have an American VnUnk, based upon sound American. - principles, free from Sectionalism, positive Secta rknismmnd all other ismsj with no oaths nor sec ret cbnclave (as already initiated in many of the Staiea.) and triumph will follow. Recent occur renceft have impressed ui tnorc'than ever with the conviction, that the "wl&re of the country, if not - the safety and perpetuation of the Union, imper - i atively demands, this, and that all opposed to locofocoism should, and, upon proper reflection, " will, regard it as an actual necessity.

It says that the articles in the Times were written by a mem ber of the Pajmerston Government, the gentfe- man whorepresentaKidder-minister, (Mr. Lauer, we believe,) and who owes his potation to his con nection with the Times. As the Post is IiOnl Palmerston's organ, the Examiner concludes that the outrage is prompted: by that functionary, The Examiner denounces the article in the-Times, as "saturated with the'aame' bullying reckless spirit which invarjabiy 'asisumes towards the American people and tbeix Governineqt,"' and says, that " to fling suoh a tissue of foul abuse in the face of any cfvilized people 'would be, of ' it self, enough toraisea storm of imliguatiou calcu lated to blow whatever elements of strife may be in prospect into irreconcileable vehemence." It Bees through all the bluster orthe'Times, and boldly declares "it" (that is, 'Great Britain,) " are the aggrcare.n It professes to be well ac quainted with " the overbearing and dictatorial superciliousness invariably assumed by Lord Pal merston in his administration of our foreign poli cy," aud asserts, that the present dispute, origina ted " in a distinct violation, by the British Min ister at Washington, of the constitutional laws of the United States P It goes on to say that a war with America would be the death-warrant of the prosperity of Lancashire, and calls on -the Manchester Chamber of Commerce to use its best endeavors to prevent It. A writer in the London News expresses him self in the following strung terms: To the Editor of the London News. I read with 'satisfaction the able article in your Tuesday's edition of the Daily News, on the J uuuiac uui guTcruuicut is pursuing in rcaru UJ the United States, and especially your protest against that secret diplomacy which may force us j rato collision with that country, 1 - .Nothing save an attack on the honor of Eng land will justify war with the' American people - a people of the same blood, language, and reli gion as ourselves.' " Parliament should be prompt- y called together; and if not, public raee'ings should be held to protest upon so fatal a proceed ing. , Lord Palmerston, as is his wont, is carrying the country to the brink of a precipice, which must either involve us in a war, or force us to with- j draw our fleet ignominionsly. , The American , people will not tamely submit to a fleet of liners being sent to their coast without a good reason, nor should they. - j Have we not already enough upon our hands. that we should seek to irritate a proud and powerful people ? : What would be the result of a conflict with the United States,'even were wc to come out victoriously ? Our commerce and manufactures would be crippled- our monetary affairs in. inex tricable confusion the coast swarming with pri vateers a million of our industrial population out of employ the cost of all the necessaries of life greatly enhanced. Truly, if would be " the beginning of the end," and most likely result in civil war and social revolution. Better that the United States should possess Cuba nd our West India Islands into the bargain than we should risk such calamities. Better that the. present or a score of other administrations be driven from power than they should be Buffered to use their secret 'diplomacy for such fearful result.

"Sir, 1 passed that childhood around the knees of the. bM officers .aud soldiers of the Revolution, who had won the independence of their country, and then .conquered from the savage this fair and mble. portion of it. I did not know then that these were peculiar men, but I have learned that well enough since.

Do you imagine that no stronger bond exists be tween these people jthan exists between the fac tions which revel in the vitals of yourown great State? Since the world began, no bond ever ex isted save amongst God's ancient people,- which bound every man to his fellow, every State to all the resU and all the- States to the nation whose liberties they had conquered, like the bond which pervades these fifteen Slave States. They will stand bv every man and every partv that stands by the Constitution.

So, with the view of directing public attention more particularly to these subjects, I beg leave to appropriate, for a few weeks, a small part of your useful journal. in the liope that if I fail to instruct, I may pro voke a discussion that will lead to good results. In common with every North Carolinian, whose mind is animated by a laudable State pride, I am gratified to see my native State shaking off the lethargy that has so long cramped tlie energies of her people, and making" efforts worthy of her character, resources and destiny, for the advance ment of her interests. Witliin the last seven years, by appropriations and the endorsement of company bonds, she has incurred liabilities ap proximating $12,000,000. This immense sum is to be expended in the improvement of rivers. the opening of a ship canal, and construction of plank and rail roads in different parts of the State. But when this shall all be expended, the system, of Internal Improvements will lie imper fect and incomplete 1st, because it is partial in its benefits ; and, 2dly, because it will have failed to connect itself with the water navigation and net-work of rail roads that spread out all over the Mississippi basin ; without which, North Ca roliua can never reach that zenith of greatness J and prosperity which it is her high'privilege, by 1 the exercise of an enlarged State policy, to at- j tain. I he worss now authorized will afford local accommodation offer facilities for inter-communication between the citizens of the East and West but the means of intercourse outside our own limits, West, are blocked up by huge moun tains; and if any citizen of the State wi-hes to visit the inviting plains, fertile vallies, or grow ing .cities, of the West, he will have to seek an outlet through Virginia or South Carolina. Be j sides, the trade of that immensely productive eonntry, to be increased in the next fifteen or twenty years by the construction of the great Pacific Kail Road, on or pear the parallel of 32 can find no ingress into North Carolina markets. When it shall arrive at Chattanooga, in its transit East, seeking a market in some Atlantic city or port, through which toj-each the European mar keta. the Western extremity of our State, nro- J jecting its Bharp point and forbidding mountains 1 . . .. . . . . . ... ia that directiou, will act as an impartial umpire I - j distributing tliis treasure between Georgia, I South Carolina ami Virginia; which will pass j for 8jx hundred miles oh either side of ns, almost in full viw, as a perpetual reproach and contin uing evidence of our iuferiority as a people. Is such to be the destiny of North Carolina ? The. enlightened patriotism of the State responds: Never, never I Nor will they allow the whole state to be taxed fbr tlie benefit of the localities through which the roads now authorized will pass. In addition to an extension of some of our roads already begun, through, so as to hnin a counectiou with the Tennessee roads, a road rom. Beaufort, via Fay ette ville, to some suitable point on the Wilming ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Koad, or to the North Carolina Road, in the direction of Salis bury, must be built. The wealth, liberality and resources of the immediate country through which it will pass, as well as principles of justice to those who contribute so largely to our treasury, fl aemau(l .na ugn not least, a road bonier Kf the State, to intersect the I Virginia road, will not only accommodate our iouuw-vhuruo nxw, whu aw uo I otruu uyuu mo tjwic, uut t .wui uw mure by theHUto, ' ( - I will not attempt, however, to enumerate all the works that may become necessary, in order to roet'oriJistic4toJaff4eM the ratekTl:'th iaVaiiTigea nifcrin:iilatgerl stateshlaiiHke ' nSnVv4' ''calcifflatea tif Mtf $ l&or would I be Understood as fnaistifig'thalf there-l sources of the State rp eijual fe'ttrt feeMlSoftdf these BUgseonrimmedmtelrVs;','BntT dd Con-- tend." however? that'' ifall theifTitlKAi arel 'mirfe-tDbt&fervtfTnfr lire w nuie svaenie mar DeTOnsummajsn w rom-(t parativelyshort pertdo!rjf ft mg the taxes ;icVeiaced n'the fustryiof the coimtrvr w ,dui rj n-tii r. a j " The revenue 4uirfng"frnf tlie fexfslmflaWis' uu.iire growtnsor mternapim But; upotrthe whole theexactiool bf the1 bawl are submittedtcf vrtthicteerfum&se enligbtejed aM6ti,f rWw11l icthiu'to: borne 'with the'me TRpirit.kaf flib -berMcial iht fliiehces "of hee-oTks'lare TnSvrfeien3rb'y,fel and generally difrnsed.

But this is not all. ' "Thefe is yet another re Source Untouched. - Banks have existed," and will continue to exist, among us. However their util ity may be questioned, this mode of "furnishing aj of the country. " Ever since the complete estab ILshment of the present National Government, Bank paper has constituted trre current rnoney of the United- States.' Issued by different insti tutions, sanctioned by tle State Legislatures, as by the General Government, it has pervaded eve-; ry quarter of the Union, and formed the univer sal milium of exchange." I do not, therefore, propose to dispense with banking institutions or so to modify the system as to protect the private citizen against all losses or improper exactions, or guard against the evils incident to banking ope rations ; but, taking banks as they exist, and preV. serving all their powers of usefulness as comrner- rial agents, I desire to muster the system into the cause of Internal Improvements, and make bank ing, in the hands of the State, an instrument for the complete accomplishment of the object above indicated. This power, prudently exercised, in aantion to tne annual income from other sources, will enable the State to check off her territory witn raiiroans; extend its accommodation to ev ery section ; deal justly by all ; form valuable connections with the roads on our west, Bd raise ourselves into a commercial importance compre hended but by few. How this can all be dine7 I propose to show in future numbers. ' Yours, &c. LEON. DIFFICULTY BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND !! ; WAR ANTICIPATED !! New York, Nor. 20.
