ARMING THE COUNTIES. j
The following from tb Warreuton (N. C.) A'tr
wt adopt as our ntiineats. It is right and proper
that the Legislature give power to the Cou-4s to
subscribe and purchase arms for the defence o th
Counties. We recouiinend it to th consideration of
oar members.
We would suggest to some of eur Legislatora,:tha
a bill empowering the County Courts to purchase
arms for the use of the county, te a limited nniint,
would go far to supply the deficiency left byour
economical Legislature. Every Court-House culd
supply a convenient armory, where the arms a-j ,
supply of auiuiouilion could be kept tor emergen
cies, or they might be distributed upon bondJV!
security, for safe keeping and their return wiien. .V'
1 uianded. The arm at present distributod tauuM;
I.,... .i j o gtatr, ana
T j. wned in oy me uovernor at any tiiue, tviav-
lug the people uumruied, except with shot-guns.
Whereas, if each county had a small armory for
anus and ammunition, the citizens would be pre
pared to march to any threatened quarter, at a few
hours notice, if the Court-liou.se was iu an unpro
tected or exported position, the arms could be distri
buted among those liable to militia service, on con
dition of their being brought for inspection every
county Court. The senior military officer in the
I count being appointed Inspector, and those having
neglected to take proper care of their weapons
should b made liable to a line, which should be the
sole recompense ot tliv Inspector.
Another point we wish to draw attention to, rela
tive to a supply of ammunition made into ball cart
ridge. At present, - a nuighbot hood may be well
supplied with muskets and shot-gunK, yet totally
unsupplied with powder or lead. There should be
a small magazine of ammunition ready for use, plac
ed in responsible hand, for distribution when ne
cessary. Such precaution would neutralize the va
rious startling rumors, circulated by weak-minded
or designing people. If the power to raise money
for such a purpose, to a rcatoriable amount, was
given to the County Courts of the State, the several
details of the measur might be safely left to the
magistrates of each county. As parties deeply in
terented in the safety of persons end property, they
would do their duty.
GETING CONVALESCENT.
The Raleigh Standard is beginning to back out.
It trembles at its own folly, and like Mons. Blitz's
Lilliputians, strives to palm of! fear for coolness.
Watch and Wait, " says he ; then to explain what
he roicmntut by "Watch and Wait," he sa-s :
' Let the people of the Iree States belierd at the
ballot-box on the Crittenden propositions ; let them
say. once for all, whether they will do us justice.
If they respond favorably, as wo believe they will,
the Union will be saved the Constitution will be
restored, and Mr. Lincoln and his party will bo
hurled fioia power in ISof; hut if they deliberately
refute to give us in sut.Kta.ee the proponiti'.ns of
the Senator from Kentucky, then we will call upon
the Seuthern pe-tple to stand to their am. Tnat is
what we mean by and Watch in y and
Waiting.
This is the latent wrinkle that the Standard bus
et !
! Firnt he um r. r -"-. ----"-
ong before Mr. Crittenden'-; comproras ever had
scrii the light of day, "Prepare, Watch an 1 Wait'
was his cry. and sayu he, "if Mr. Lincoln attacks
our rights, then we will be for sVonldcring our mus
kets and ref-isting." Kov he favors the C'ritUndcn
eouipromise as the alternative. The Standard will
We right Foon, let it work out its own salvation.
Iloldeu is a good kind of a fellow after all. We
must not say a word against him any more and we
shan't.
PROGRESS OF SECESSION.
We learn through a friend from Harnett County,
that the cession feelinjj' is largely cn the increase
and that if a vote were taken now in that county
she would cast her voice for secession, whereas, if it
Put to ,e three weks or month
since, the Lnionist would have triumphed. 1 hi it
relialil, and the gentleman from whom we got the
information, has never yet missed in his estimate of
Harnett sentiments, this we know.
fy We return our thank to our Senator Mr
Shaw; for a copy of the Convention Bill as amended
and which has passed the Hjusc. It will be found
n an other column.
This T)ik i Cast. South Carolina. Florids, Ala
hama, and Miisippi. have nlready dissolved their
connection with the Federal Union. Georgia, Louis-
' iana, and Texas will do the same before the end of
1 this month. What, then, is Tennessee to do? Her
interests, her honor, her safety require thnt .he
should co-operate with her more Southern sisters.
It is more than probable that A lrginia. North Csro-
i;na. and Kentucky, will j
soon link their destinies
with the other states South of them
Such a course;
however, is not so imporstive with them. Virginia
and North Carolina both have an Atlantic coast,
their trade with that of Kentucky is not so entire
ly within the cotton States as that, of Tennessee.
When Georgia and Louisiana secede, all of our pro
duets which have hitherto found a market in the
South, will be hemmed in. We cannot expect to
find a sale for our produce. East, West, or North of
us. We must go with the South.
The above is from the Nashville, Tenn. TTuion
and American, and is an indication of the senti.
menfs of the people of Tennessee.
May Heaven grant unity to the feelings and sen-
timonb of the Southern people
All we hava to
fear is division.
A NEW COMPROMISE?
Bent on the abolition of slavery, the Black Re
publicans are now, at this moment, maturing a. plan
for the purchase of the slaves in Delaware, Mary
land, Missouri, Arkansas. Texas and Louisiana, for
the purpose of securing the requisite number of
Free States, to abolish slavery. In all of these
States it is supposed that there are 600,000 slaves
and they pro .ose to pay from $100,000,000 to 300,
000,000 for them, thus securing free states North of
the Potomac and west of the Mississippi.
The N. Y. Tribune, speaking of the compromise
says :
"If all the Stntes named will not consent to this
arrangement, the proposition might be offered to
any that would accept it. F.ven a
mtde Slate neace
; fully gained to Freedom would be well worth the
; monv."
In every motion they make, their purpose, their
unalterable aim is revealed.
KENTUCKY
The Louisville. Courier publish a letter of Col.
Blaton Duncan, Secretary of the late Union Con
vention opposing coercion and favoring a CanfeJracy
f si) the slavs-holding States,
C. C. WRIGHT. ESQ.
Our representative Mr, Wright, from this county
made some remarks on last week in tho Legisla
ture upon the Convention bill which we consider
worthy the attention of our readers. Whilst we
differ with Mr. Wright upon the possibility of a re
construction of the Government upon tte Critten
den plan, a it fails to satisfy justice to the South,
and conscedes more to the North than the present
Constitution entitles them to, we are willing to
make it the basis of negotiations.
We believe, that many of the Northern States,
Central and Border, will join our confederacy, and
accede to the South all her just and equal rights.
Mr. Wright's sentiments are good, but not so
firm as we sheuld individualy desire, although they
will doubtless satisfy a majority of his constituents, j
Mr. Wright, said:
After a tribute l .Ku im&iaorjr of loll.iri, StFtnfi
TZmrx and ToenKr, ne was oppost.tu to me suosil-
Mite r! Air. t-erson ior seveiai reasons, wit cnicny : qualified to vot-.. for members of the t Jeueral As

tion to the people. It had been amended in the j tion ; Vn.ise. who wish a convention vo.mi- with
Senate and ought to be amended here. That he a printed or written ticket, '-Convention and
came here with the feelings of a Union Democrat ; those who il.i n,,t. ;,!, a convention v..ti, . ;,,
that ho had hoped long bolore this, a returning sens;
of justice on the part of the North, would have
yieiueu to iuo rcasouaoie ueuiauus an i just I ignis
of the South in the Union. But the failure of the
Crittenden Resolutions (which he favored and was
willing to accept as a basis of settlement,) connec
ted with the empty chairs of 16 Senators and more
tlian 50 Representatives before the 4ta of Marcli
next, forbid him to hope for a preservation of the
Union, as it is, and the work was emphatically one
of reconstruction. That we would, however, agmnst
our wishes, be in a hopeless minority, aud power
less for good or ill that we could not shut our
c3-es to the facts, that soon eight. stars would queuch
their tires in our political heavens to light up a gal
sxy of their own that whoever turned to that ban
ner which had so long waved in triumph over them,
iu that field of blue, would behold them no longer
in their beauty, but in their place the ttripes which
our Northern brethren regard as tit tokens of our
ignominy and punishment, and from which they
learned only a lesson of coercion. That this recon
struction would be upon the Crittenden or other
satisfactory basis. ThoseJJStates willing to accord
to us our Constitutional rights, would join us, and
upon the ruins of this old, we would rear another
temple, and he hoped "the glory of the latter House
would exceed that of the former." That if that
could not be done, he was (or tiie South, the whole
South, and God defend the right.
Mr. Wright said the revolution was a peculiar
one; that the "Watch and Wait policy" was a com
mendable one. under most circumstances ; but near
ly all the Southern Stntes were moving even Mary
land. Our scruples we e saved, if we had any, und
he was for North Carolina lifting up her voice and
speaking her sovereign will nothing more, nothing
less. That he had always loved the stars and
s'.rij)S ; had regarded the Union of these States as
natural as that of husband and wife that it was
nothing but fanaticism which could divor.e aud
sever the ties of sympathy an 1 Union.
Mr. W. regretted this state of things, but went
on to show though the Union had benciitted both
sections in the diversion ol labor the South grow
ing the staple, the North manufacturing it yet the
South though the richer, was made the poorer sec
tion. That this had been the result of .- .v
e--
-U-ltUion aud disbursement jT iy n"c-""
tb-.- wu.i.i- -o-tnims ol the exports,
aud from the proceeds of her slave labor, forty
millions, an 1 getting back twenty millions toe
North twenty millions and getting back forty mil
lions. That the Navigation Laws, excluding for
eign bottoms, had thro.vn ujon us the burden of an
exhausting coat-wise trade, owned at the North
and redounding to their chief advantage. That -Almj
ships were employed in the transportation of Cot
ton alone, and $12,000,00(1 were jiaid by the grow
ers yearly for transportation. That a narrow belt
of country scarcely more than two degrees broad,
was the only reliable spot on earth where cot:o.
could be grown. That it required alternations of
sunshine and shower, a sparse population and in
voluntary servitude for successful cultivation ; that
in no other country did these combinations exist.
That the Eust India Company h id spent $4-,Oo0,-000
in the experiment, and 4 OOO.onO of British
subjects depeuded chiefly on us lor that staple.
That we were in the condition, to the North, Unit
0'Connell deplored iu the British administration of
Irish affairs, when year after year, unhappy Ireland,
from her fertile soil, was compelled to raise fresh
levies, to go into an English Exchequer, and but
sparingly come out again for her advantage. That
thus made the unwilling instrument of her own de
struction, she was left to eke out a miserable exis
tence in a Cuioti, which he implored them to repeal.
That the North in her attempted usurpation and
unfriendly legislation, so far as the subject of shive
ry was concerned, might learn a lesson from a simi
lar policy wf Great Britain, towards her West in
dies aud British Gtiiauas, and the consequences of
that emancipation. That this, in connection with
the French emancipation by the Provis?onal Gov
ernment in 1S47, made us a first clans power, and
we would be fools if we did not guard and keep
it.
That tht'6e things were so, and furnished only
stronger reasons to the North to respect our rights,
and to the South to defend them. That however
wo deplored this crisis, it should not pass without
a settlement now and forever of this question. That
our ancestors ''sowed wheat, but behold, tares had
sprung up also ; that for the good of the one we
had forebone to trouble the other. Mr. W. said he
could not tell, but possibly in the good providence
of God, the harvest had come, and now was the
time to gather the wheat into our garners and burn
the lures with tire unquenchable. That it might
be "The eagle stirring up her nest" that her young
and tender brood might trust to their wings, he
could not say he let time to determine it, and the
people to declare their wishes in Convention ; that
North Carolina with the South and such of her con
servative sisters oi the .North as would join in tne
work, might thus go forth to meet the demands of
civilization and a glorious destity.
The reporter has not attempted to give the speech
of Mr. Wright in fu'l, as the spact- allowed will not
permit, but he has given in substance a few of the
heads touched on by Mr. W.
