WILMINGTON &. MANCHESTER RAIL ROAD.
We publish, on our first page, the Ac,t of the
last session of our Legislature, relative to the
subscription of the town of Wilmington to the
stock of this road. We refer our readers to this
Act, not only ana subject of interest to the Stock
huldera, but also to the public at large. Jt is a
measure creditable to tho town and worthy of
imitation by all who desire (he prosperity and
welfare of the enterprising and working classes.
The character of the Bonds is Indisputable. An
industrious and enterprising people w ill be always
likely to redeem their pledges. Wilmington
has never yet failed !u any one case, and will but
ill this. .. :--"X'vV:i ;'-"V"-. '-.;''
SECESSION, AGAIN.
We have endeavored, from time to tfmo to make
ourselves understood on the subject of the right
of secesftie-a, and feel no disposition to recede from
the ground which we believe te be Just ami pro
per. We are pleased that our own position Is so
welf delineated by that of our correspondent
M-xlknburg, and we, therefore, weloonie him to
our columns. , .. ' v
We hare adopted the opinion that a State has a
right to secede, from long and carcM tc&tction
upon the subject; and for twelve or fifteen years
no serious doubt has been created in out minds,
by the strong efforts of many talented nen who
have written against the doctrine. As fiiend of
the Whig party and the administration of Mr.
Fhxuobk, k may be expected thai we would of
iionrse take up the notions promulgated at the
city of Washington, and sustained by so great a
niau as Webster. Nolan. We know tlwt great
men sometimes commit great errors a well as
great sins and we are not disposed to follow their
lead In either case, We hope wo shall ever con
sider the rights of tho people and the good of the
country, as panmonnt to all other ebjects. We
do not write to obtain the patroiuigt of the gener
al government, but to deserve the 'approbation of
the good and the just, and to keep peace within
our own bosom. S we are free to differ with the
administration in some points of op'miaa, whlo
we take pleasure In asserting the honesty and pat
not ism of the President and his Cabinet, in tho
faithful discbarge of their duty to tho country, jii
a fearful and trying crisis.
The chief motive iu noticing this subject at the
present time, is to protest against the mnnuer of
some of our whig presses. They make no (lis
tinctioo between an opinion concerning an act, and
the commission of tho act itself, wjthotit suflicieiit
reason. This may serve irty, but it will vindi
cate' neither truth nor justice.

are noi au who believe iu tins right, tunnicd as
traitors and disunionists, as well as those who be
lieve In the right of secession 1 Certainly the re
suit of tho one cannot be more mischievous than
that of the other. QreaJ pains aro taken to class
hQ those who believe in the right of secession as
ditunumists, and they are so charged- This is a
falsehood. Whether ii is asserted to please the
adminitt.iftUun.or the Devil -yet it is a falsehood.
tt the doctrine V the right of secession is q
error, it is very easy to see how iueii have fallen
into it. The States were sovereign before the
Constitution, was formed, ayd these plain luinded
people cannot conceive why they are not slill sov
ereign; and why they canuot rejsu.pio theso pow
ers that were granted under compact, if that
compact is violated or dissolved. They cannot
conceive why George Stiles, having entered into
copartnership with John Roe, is not George
Stiles still, whoa the copartnership is dissolved.
It is asserted, however, that the Union is neith
er a copartnership net a compromise, but a gov
ernment of Supreme powers, indissoluble and un
diangeable. In this case the States have no rem.
jedy against oppression. It is not sufficient to say
hat, so far, there has been no net of oppression
sufficiently aggravattd.to authorize resistance. It
it enough f6r the States to know that tho poien
smd tha right to oppress is admitted, and to re
member that aggression audeucroachment on the
rights of others, are inveterate characteristics of
the huipao race. So wc have no hope but in the
kindness and sympathy of our political associates
-In which case, Heaven help s it being settled
a atfinunuUtye principle, -that we cannot assert
right without comnjitiing a wong.
. If Uio States are not sovereign, we would be
jgjad to know what is their true political charac
.s'Aer. We guess it would "puzzle a Fuiladelphia
lawyer" to.teU .us. We have Governors and Leg
islatures, elected ,by the sovereign people; we
t have theona of sovereignty .at least. But we are
t1l that this government, elected by the highest
earthly power, is not competent to protect its qit
ieent against the encroachments and oppressions
of the Federal Government, without pe.ttjit into
the attitnde of rebellion. He.-e we have a rebel
.Governor, a rebel Senate, and a rebel House of
Representatives, all elected and instructed by a
' ' free people. What an anomaly. What a witty
writer said, in commenting npon Mr. Jefferson's
tioo of the attitude and power of the States. In
this view, then, the States, in regard to their pow
er and rights, are "a sort of so and so, and rt
f ,pf not so and so."
We copclndc by asserting what wc know to be
'lrae, r.i)t: that atnong the most ardent and patri
'' .ptijC I9vera.fif .4his Union, are those who contend
V for 8tte Sovereignty,. and the right to resume
.that aovercignty in full,4)y .an act of secession.
These men eonscjentlouslyiwth'e,ve that the Union
cannot be preserved without tb acjrnpwledgmcnt
of this principle, ana have given the moat unan
swerable arguments in favor of this belief. Jo,
brand such men as disnuionists proves nothing,
but that the persons who make the charge are ob--tjjs
lajheir perceiHions, or else the verymin-
ion of th powers that be and the slaves if 'jpir-
ly tbi keen scoiU;i of the floavts and Ushes."

We do not knew what disposition there may be
upon tho part of our present State administration
to retard or encourage the speedy const luctiou of
this work. We do know, however, that some
of the Stockholders in this end of the ' State are
troubled with Jnbls, serious doubts lest the
action of the Governor and his advisers may ho
uirfavorable to the buihtinj of. the road". As an
act of Justice to himself, and to prevent a,ny in
jurious consequences to this great enterprise
from the general prevalence of such iiRpressiooe
as we have alluded to, we hope Gov. I'-id will as

efficient steps to begin, tho work on the. Western

desire that this public notice of them may cjicit

war is no nearer a close than when it first began,
aud that a large forco from England will be neces
sary to suppress the outbreak. If the chiefs in
