SATUBDAT MORNING, DECK 22, 1860.
(TJFA- writer under the editorial head
of the State Journal, in the. coarse of
Lis article in the tot number, eajs thtfc
a, favorite mode . of argument with " the
Raleigh Register and other presses is to
ezoito prejudice is tbe minds of North Car
olinians against Boutb Carolina. We know
of so word in, tbe language that is more eon -
stantly misapplied than the word f 'prejudioe.w
Prejudioe is the forming of a judgment, or
coming to a conclusion, prior to an examina-1 Mr. Garrett in a few well-conceived and ar
tion of tbe facts of tbe ease. Now, taking I r a aged remarks, and on their conclusion, re-
tba as tbe meaning of tbe word, bow can'we
be charged with an attempt to exeite pre -
judice against South Carolina when we pre-
sent facts to our readers upon which they can
form a judgment of their own $ It is an bis-
torical and undeniable Jad, that South Car -
olina has been trying to destroy the Union I fire-eating speeches. Mr. Garrett's was par
fbr the last thirty years. She makes a wretch-1 tioularly so. The good impression which he
ed pretext when she bases her present course
upon tbe election of Lincoln, tbe inefficiency
of the Fugitive Slave Law, and the Personal
Liberty enactments. Long, long before eithe
of these results were even in contemplation
and when the Abolitionists, instead of being
a party, were a contemptible squad, South
Carolina sought to destroy the Union, be
lieving that its destruction would be a great
blessing to her. It is a fact that tidings of
tbe election of Lineoln were reoeived with
as much joy in South Carolina as they were
in Vermont, as that event gave the long
sought pretext for Dissolution or Secession.
It is a fact, that in all the late speeches and
proceedings in South Carolina, the name of
North Carolina has never been mentioned but
once, and then it was only to couple tbe
name with words of insult the Charleston
Mercury having said that Old Rip Van Win
kle would after awhile be kxcktd into action
by the Northern States. It is a fact, tbat
this opprobrious toubriquet was given to
North Carolina by a distinguished son of
South Carolina, because thirty years ago
North Carolina would not join South Caroli
na in her schemes of nullification, secession
and disunion. It is a fad, tbat South Caro
lina has taken a most arrogant and presump
tuous stand against her sister States. It is
aacsuassuo , uiWB, iu
message, recommended measures which, were
they carried oat, would have affected, as be
thought, most mjuriously the slave property
of North Carolina and Virginia, thus telling
these States in substance, "if you don't fol
low Carotina out of tbe Union, 'Carolina
will so legislate as to render yonr slave pro
perty valueless." It is a fact, that some of
South Carolina's most disturuished sons
have threatened to drag North Carolina and

. Ob Thursday, Messrs. Garrett and Smith,
Commissioners from ' the State of Alabama,
and Mr. Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the
Interior, and Commissioner from the State
of Mississippi, ' were presented to the two
Hotxses'of the General Assemblj convened
in tbe Commons Hall. The Speaker of the
Senate presided, and by his side sat the
Speaker of the House of Commons. ; Tbe
Commissioners were introduced to tbe olose-
lj thronged Hall and Galleries, (in the Jatter
were a great many ladies,) by Mr. Ransom
a Commoner from Northampton, and there
npen Mr. Garrett prefaced, in a few,words;
a written communication from Alabama, with
which he and bis colleague, Mr. Smith were
charged, and which he read to the joint meet
ing. Without approving at all of tbe errand
on which Mr. Garrett came to North Caroli
na we should be wanting in candor if we
did not say that he discharged it in a be-
1 eoming and respectful manner.
Whatwill
I be the result of this errand, time alone can
I tell. The Speaker of tbe Senate followed
quested tbe Senile to re-assemble in their
1 Chamber. Mr. Thompson, instead of ad
dressing the Joint meeting, addressed a letter
to the Governor and two Houses.

ON'T LEGISLATED UVDER THE
, FLAG OK THEMJMION. ;
The resolution of Mr. Henry, of Bertie,
that a National flag should be procured and
hoisted daily on the Capitol during the ses
sion of tbe Legislature, was overslaughed by
the disunion majority in the House of Com
mons, lhe majority having in charge this
onoe strong and steady old ship of State are
fast driving her upon the rock of disunion
If the people were here to see for themselves,
they would realize the fact in all its terrors.
Tbe waves of disunion are surging in our
Capitol, and we should be a miserably
faithless watch if we did not proclaim tbe
momentous fact. If the people do "not act
promptly they will find themselves out of the
Union before they know it. This Legislature,
the creature of their constitution, and elect
ed for no such purpose, are (about to take
them from that Union which they formed.
Our voice may be feeble, but it shall be raised
again and again in tones of solemn warning
and earnest remonstrance.

Washington. Dec; 9.Senate.rMt. John-
'son of, Tenn., addressed the Senate onj I his reso
lutions of yesterday. He characterized tbe person
al liberty bills of the North as direct violations of
the Constitution, and denied the right of secession,
as tbe Constitution provides a remedy for; evils.
He said Washington acted under the j idea that
the govern ment was competent to execute its
laws, when he ordered 1,500 men into j Pennsyl
vania to execute the excise laws and put down the
"Whiskey Rebellion." He did . not behove any
State could declare itself out ot the Uniom ; The
fovernment has the power to carry the mails and
old tlourts in South Carolina bv force, and if
South Carolina resisted the collection of the reve
nue, it was treason. If Carolina proclaimed her
self independent and made treaties and! collected
an army and navy, the United States might right
fully conquer, and subjugate her. (iii3es.
Louisiana bad no right to secede, as she was pur
chased to secure the mouth, of the Mississippi, and
by doing so would make tbe mouth toreign again.
: Mr. Slidell said it was improbable t at any man
in Louisiana thought of obstructing the month of
the Mississippi to free navigation. . 4 j? 4-'"?-T:-
Mr. Johnson continued and referred to .Florida,
as having been very anxious to come in, and the
Government bad given her peaco, at the expense
of $20,000,000, and now the was feverish to go
out again. Dissolution, would be the death bed of
slavery. , If he. were an aboliUonlsL he would ad
