' JUtolvtJ, TbA the true lateresta of oar coantrj demand of all it patriotic citizens, la the perilous Crisis now impending, to disregard, all former party associations and aaite wholly and cordially in the meui best calculated to preaerre the Uaioa and protect their constitutional rights. JUsoimtd, That we will rapport for Congress any man who may be the choice ot the Constitutional Unioa party of this District, without regard to hia The plain English of the above is, that ; those whc Lara, remained trne and faithful to the principles of the old Whig party, must Tote far Henry W. Miller, who ingloriously deserted it, not for the purpose, as many did, of p relenting Fremont's election, bat for the "J purpose of allying hinuelf ' with a p arty bloated with power and spoils, for it was not until after the lapse of more than twelve months after Buchanan's inauguration that Mr. Henry W. Miller gate in bis adhesion to that Democracy against which he had been : waging war all his life.

' If Union is what these geatleman are after, let them bring out one of the abore named gentleman; and we shall hare some guarantee of his adhesion, to the causein the fidelity with which he has ad hered to the principle of the party to which he heretofore belonged, and either' of these gentlemen can, in our opinion, get a much larger rote in this District than can Mr. Miller.. . . " : ; j On Wednesday there were excitements in two different quarters of Baleigh. i At Hhe Use Ilouse the balloon man, sorrounded, by a large erowd, vainly. endeavored to fill his balloon with gat sufficient to elevate him and bis amjngnon de voyage, Miss Myaer, above this' terrsqaeous orb. The saoemioa was, therefore, postponed until 12 o'clock Thurs day. At which time it did not tome off, the gas not being of the right sort to plaoe: the balloon and company , ia the ascending scale. Simultaneously with this ineffectual pumping of gas, a few young men with red . cockades on their bats were engaged in rais ing n seoession pole and flag on a vacant lot on Fejettcville street, opposite to Mr. Pome rev's bookstore. This harmless imovement excited the ire of one or two individuals, who threatened to cut down the pole, which was not much larger than a bean pole. This threat, how ever, fortunately was not exe cuted, although, we learn, that ono bellicose individual biased away, at it with a rusty old fire-Iocs:.' At sight the flag wss taken down by those who had raised it. To speak seriously, we do not know by what right any attempt eaa be made to prevent any man or set of men Xroea raising any flag not offensive to publie decency which he or they may choose on private property, we un derstand that the owner ef the vacant 'lot had given permission to the young men to use it for the purpose of raising their' flagi So far fiom putting down the cause of secession, a serious attempt, to destroy the flsg raised .on Wedaesdsy would have, been regarded as a gag npon the expression of an opinion on putlio affairs, and woald have done infi nitely Bore harm than good. We ahould not fuIowibad examples. The attempt at 'the repression eC opinio ; on publie affairs ia the steading Stales by the lynching and maltreatment of all who express opto- v. ions favorable to the Union -was so where 'more deprecated and denounced than in this ' town of Raleigh. - f " -J "On Wednesday night a secession meeting waa held at the Court House, and was ad- . dressed by Messrs. Bragg, Clingmsa and Braneh. The speeches of Messrs. Bragg and Branch Were calm and decent. The remarks of Mr. Clingmaa were, ia tome re tpeeta, in wretchedly bad taste.' The ; flip pant and almost ribbald manner in which he used the name of the father of his country a nam which never ahould be mentioned but with rererenee cannot be too severely cen sured, and art doubt not that nine-tenths of those who heard hia were of our opinion. (The speeches of all the gentlsmsa looked to the secession of North Carolina, so that, here after, as far as Mr. Branch is concerned, there need be no more anxiety about that letter.1 THE MORRILL TARIFF, Wrtake the followbg from the Biohmond Whig. We believe that the passage of this Morrill Tariff bill will eon tribute a vast deal to the complication ef the difficult tea In which this country is now involed. . Its effect upon the interests of those States now remaining ia the Uaioa, bat who are not, like Pennsylvania and the New England States, dependent for their prosperity npon manufactures of iron or cotton, cannot fail to bo most disastrous. Under this Tariff law, the Federal Govern ment eanaot raise oat-half the revenue ne- to support it, and the consequence therefore must bo a resort to direct taxation, which will bo oppressive, upon the border slavt Etates, without any, the slightest, re muaeratiag, ad vantages. , All the ad van tages to bo received from this Tariff, if any shall be, will bo gained by Pennsylvania and tho New England 6tatea : SECTIONALISM SELF TOILED. Tb antl-alaTery schemers are aggravated al moat beyond the point ot endurance by the reflec tion that sevan State have notonlj cut loose from further aaaooiatioa with them, bat that their inde pendent position, and the letjilation to which it has given rise, will, ia all human probability, tend to the Coal and attar break-dovn of Repaollcan koa. The profpective working of the tann adapt ed by the Confederate Mates baa not escaped tfte shrewd observers of the North: They perceive clearlv enooca that a system of duties upon im ports considerably lower than that lavied by the United States must, by the Inevitable operation of the laws of trade, divert a larga proportion or the importing eooamaroa of the country from the North to the South, and consequently concentrate ia New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah and other cities of the Oooftderate States, a coodly share of the' capital heretofore invested ta the fiortb. Ia eonaectioa with the diminution of ftveirn importations into the North, will be the loss of an important part of the domestic trade espeaially that with the Northwest. It is of, course to the interest of that section to avail Itself of the cheap rat market for the purchase of the necessaries of life, and this win be louad ta the -xit&, aa their tariff will admit foroif-a aascaandise at a 7ery moderate duty into the entire Northwest by the Mississippi river aad the railroads. It has been seosiblv remarked by the New York Htrmld, that the Tery arudes mosi necessary 10 ue peopie oi the Wast are preciaeiv taose npon waioa ue new Northern tariff imposes a heavy aad almost pro hibitory duty, such aa manufactures of cotton and wool, ana manaxaoiurea iron ana steei ue lormer being absolutely essential for clothing, and the latter indispensable to atrieultural purposes, build- tar, the openinr of saw-mills, aad other objects by wuca ue nmu erecons; useii wvo a rreat em parts, xaepiortawen wui, taereiore, speeaiiy become one or ue largest ana most pronutsie cus tomers of the Confederate States. The worst of all this with oar sable Republican friends ia, that lherfijno available remedy none, at least, which uey are uaeiy to adopt. They have deliberately been guilty of the most suicidal folly. They have gone to work in the most dia paasiraate meaner conceivable to cut their owa throats. For example, oae aad all the Black Re publicans agree with Iineolaad recognise neither secession oor revolution." Ia the eyes of the Uni ted 8 tales Gaverameat the Uaioa is as consolida ted and unbroken ae it was a year ago. New Orleaas and Charleston, aad Mobile, and Augusta, and Galveston are all cities of the United Slates. Although the Federal Government does not re ceive iato its treasury a single dollar ef thecuatoav. house duties levied in these sea ports on foreign importations, and therefore practically derives no benefit whatever from the theory ef an indissoluble Union, the policy of the Govern meat remains un changed. New goods brought into the Confeder ate butas frees abroad, after paying the rates pro vided tv too tana; can oe taaea to aay part of to United Statae without being subjected ta further dalles. Tbore is, of course, so tariff ea marchaa. -diee transported or transhipped lrera one State to anouar. uence, cy virtue oi ue a orwern notion that there has bean no dismemberment of the Unioa. it is out of the power of the horth to lay a tax oa foraira articles brought iato the United States by way of the SoUle, for the levy of a tat on such articles would iavolve the recognition of the Confederate States as a foreign power. The Black BaMblicaos ooght to have foreseen these difficulties ere they aadertook to force Ue South to extreenrtiea. -!' The North is bow clamorous for aa extra session of Congress.' It is hoped, paradveatare, that a reduction of .duties may measurably avert the threatened catastrophe. So it might, but at the cost of a bankrupt exchequer. " The leading object ia the passage of the Morrill tariff was aa increase in the revenue, waa altogether inadequate to the nec essities of ihc Govern soee I Eveo with this tariff, and with a foreiga commerce chiefly confined to the North, political eooaosaiets have calculated that the sx peases ot the paMte service would soil largely exceed (ha revaau. If for the anrpose of preventing tne was or tae loretga importing trade the duties should be cut down, how is the govera meat to be supported, and the public debt paid on. DTht following letter from Mr. George eabody is a perfect refatatioa of the charge that be had written a letter urging the poli cy of coercion as the only meant of preserv ing American credit abroad : i .

From the Charlottesville Jeffersoaian.l It is rumored that efforts are being made to re move the postmaster at this place. Mr. W. M. Kebnnger.'te order to make room for some one who Is seeking a crumb from the Black Republi can taote. If aa office holder la unfaithful in his duties or is distasteful to the community, let htm be dis placed tr one who Is not liable to these objec Uona. xsut, when Lincoln unoertakss to torn out a faithful and com Detent officer, and who ia entirely acceptable to the people, merely because ne spurns submission to his policy. It is an out rage and an insult to the slaveholdins oomrno- any. i , - . i There is a marked difference between retaining an appointment derived from a former adminis tration, and begging one at the bands of the Black Republican drnastr at Was ) ins; too. If one man is removed by the administration solely because ae preiers u&t vtrrtnte ahould unite wua ue elave protecting Confederacy of the South, rather uan remain in this Eiorthern union under a Black Republican government, and he ia supplan ted by another, it must be because there is more sympathy between the administration and the latter. It eaa only be explained upon the suppo sition that the political opinions of the appointee are more acceptable to the Republicans. Any one who will seek office at the hands of Lincoln gives prim, facia evidence of his willingness to support nia administration. . It will not do to say that Lincoln may properly carry out hia prefer ence in appointing a Union maa to office, and that the latter mar vervnreMrlv accent it. Lin coln understands Unionism to lead to, if aot to mean submission. We cannot vouch the accaracv of this rumor. but of this we are assured, that the removal of Mr. JLeblinger would create a storm of righteous indignation in this community. 7 . Why, what a change it here ? Bat the other day it was proclaimed that no Southern maa could hold office under Lincoln without degrading himself, and those who did not know the staff' of which Democracy ia made expected that there would bo a general throw ing op of federal oommiasioct in the South oa the fourth of March.' We, however, knowing the tenacity with which Democrats cling to tho spoils, entertained no such be lief. So far from it, wt repeatedly express ed a willingness to take a contract to furnish Lincoln all the office-holders that. might be needed at a dollar per head, and get them all from the Breckinridge Democracy. The re sult proves that we were right, for now so far from indignantly vindicating their self-re spect, aad retiring from offiee, these Demo cratic office-holders are indignant at the idea of being torned out.' They snap their fin gers at Lincoln and tell him, wo didn't get our offices from you, -you Old Bail Splitter, and we shall act give them up, aad if yoa turn us out, wt will hare our successors lynched, just as some people in Petersburg are about to ly nob a route agent on the Nor folk aad Petersburg Railroad."
