We cannot believe that the result of the elec tion in thia State indicates that the good old North Btato haa become Lincoloised. The people of North Carolina have a daah of phlegm la thelf composition, which induce! much pondering and smoking of pipea over every queation presented to them. They have, besides, a dash of Quaker Freesoilism that is a hale centrifugal, we think. Woree than this, they have the incubus of Badgeriam repress ing their patriotic fervors, as Sam Houatoniam in Texas, and Crittenden ism in Kentucky, and John Bellism in Tennessee, have been freesing aud chokiug out. manly impulses in their re spective domain# for these many year* past. But, for all this, we will answer for North Carolina with our lives. Wo are perfectly sure, this moment, that, could the election now take place for delegates to her Convention, North Carolina would go for Revolution by a crush ing majority. We can wait patiently on the sober second thought of her people without distrust or anx iety as to her final decree. Everything is working right for the final success of Southern Independence. Indeed, we feel, with every new development in the fortunee of the South, that her destiny is cared for by a merciful Providence, and that the course of events now transpiring evinces a wisdom above that of the men who teem to shape it. Hon. John J* Crittenden. 0 jr readers have seen the many rumors go ing the rounds of the press of this gentleman’s appointment to a seat on the 8upreme Court Bench of the United States. Sincerely do we hope that this rumor may provo unfounded. Heretofore, we have thought that Mr. Crittenden’s toleration for Abolition fanaticism, and his equanimity amidstscens in Congress so trying to the honorable resentments of a Southern gentleman, were the result of a feeble emotional nature, and bad nothing to do with self-interest. it sounds for the very instinct of self-respect that should fol low universal manhood everywhere, to hear a Southern Statesman say ha was for a Govern ment as it was, let it do what it might. 8till, this might be said because the man who said it was a born tory, or a born aristocrat, or be cause he knew, in hi# sal fishnets, that Liberty would last at least his lifetime, or because Le was quiet and did not wish to have his revar ies broken by the ground-swell of Revolution. But to baar more from the enemies of one’s country than is to be allowed to its defenders throughout a long and vexed controversy, and then, at last, find a refuge in the bosom of that enemy, from the storm which he had raised at home, is a little too much like self-love to pass current for philanthropy or patriotism We htd far rather see Mr. Crittenden go out as a mistaken or deluded stickler for a strong Gov- ernmtnt, than as a clever, sharp-witted pot- patriot, whose perturbations of mind never caused him to forget number one. The Last of**Old Back.” The subjoined superannuated twaddle is the last of a great light, which has, for some time back, bean flickering in its socket. It beat* Linooln, we think, for style. The public func tionary claiming to ba perfeetly true U. the House of Lancaster, but jei, not half so true as the amid House has been to him, smacks of dear Ireland, and that boastful promise to take charge of the widows and orphans is a big un dertaking for #o venerable a character.

To the descohdautsof tuoh iten I confi dently make my appeal, and in bearing to this General Attorney a message from her ancient confederate and ally, and in asking her coope ration in the important step we have taken in ooramon with several others of our sisters, T need hardly assure her that Georgia has no disposition either to dictate or offer unsolicited advice. These two States have teen ever united by the elosest ties—no rivalry in the past has sprung up between them, and their amicable relations have never been disturbed. To you we ara indebted for no inconsiderable portion of a population which we flatter ourselves has not deteriorated by being transplanted, and which we can truly say is do discredit to the kindred and friends they left behind them.— Shoulder to shoulder Georgia and North Caro lina marched through the revolution—they joined their counsels and united their wisdom in forming that compact of government called the Constitution of the United Statej, and were mainly instrumsntal in procuring provisions in that instrument for the increase and protec tion of slavery. Thus connected and bouud to you, Georgia would have deemed herself defi cient in the courtesy and the respect sbo owes you not to have given you timely information that she had dissolved her connexion with the late United States of America, and resumed the powers which she had delegated to that gov ernment, and to invite you to cooperate with her and other States that have or may hereaf ter secede from the Union iu the formation of a Southern Confederacy. She will welcome you Lack to her warm em brace, and on account of the brief separation, feel only the more near when you return. She assures you that among her citiaens “ There are eyes will mark your coming, And look brighter when you come." 8be knows she can Buffer no peril that does not equally assail you—that your interest is her interest—your honor is her honor—your cause is her cause, and that the same destiny, be it "gloomy or bright," awaits us both. She, therefore, asks to lay before you, through her humble Representative, tbs oausei which have impelled her to this separation—believing that they carry with them the force ond dignity of truth, she indulges the hope that they will strike the great popular heart and miud of your State as they struck hers, and will reault in harmonious and united action upon the part of her Southern sisters. In dissolving our con nection wilh the late government of the United States we claim not to have overthrown the work of our fathers, but that our Northern con federates seized with UDfilial hands the pillars of the Constitution, and overthrew the temple of our liberties. No act of bad faith haa stain ed our escutcheon. We have kept the cove nants of our fathers, and with the blessing of a kind and favoring Providence, we will, out of the same materials, reconstruct tbo noble old edifice. The government had scarcely been put into operation before our pnculiar property was sought to be assailed in the Legislature of our General Government by a class of persons, who, however meek and gentle they may have been, and however blameless their lives in other respects, certainly contributed nothing’ to the establishment of the republic. This ap peal was made to uien fresh from the battle fields of the revolution, asd we l apprised of the scope and meaning of the Coni promisee contained in the Constitution and bond of our Union, and benoe, as might have be*n antici pated, was unsuccessful. It was necessary to the increase of our strength and the consolidation of our power aa a people, that we should acquire from France the vast territory extending from the mouth to the sources of the "Father of Waters,’’ and in 1803, the Louisiana territory became, by treaty, a portion of oar rich domain. In every foot of this territory the right to hold slaves sxisted, and this right was distinctly recognised, and its proteotion guaranteed by aft article of tbat treaty. That there was opposition to this meas- ure, it would be idle to deny, aid opposition, too, on account of the protection afford c 1 to slavery: but this opposition was confined to the people of New England, who seemed to be unmindful of the rich benefactions conferred upon all the 8Utes, by Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia, in the donations of their ^aet public territory to the General Government— Again, in 1812 the commerce of the Eastern Statse was attacked by a foraign power, aud almost driven from the ocean. We of the South had little pecuniary internet in this con test, but it involved our honor, aud against their protest we went to war with the mistress of the aaar, and the laurel-crowned field of N. Orleans stands to day, aa it will through all time, tke vindication of the one and the pro teotion of the other. Nor did our liberality stop here. Not content with giving them a monopoly of ship building and the coalting trade, we stimulated and encouraged their In dustry by bounties upon their pursuits. The war which terminated so gloriously, had crip pled, and to some extent, exhausted their re sources and embarrassed their manufacturing interests; again we taxed ourselves for their befceftt, and sought hj another generous sacri fice to augment their prosperity. In IHt, a SUte formed o«t of the Louisiana Territory, in which oar rights as Slaveholders wore reoegnized, nnd protected by tbeaupr«<e« law of the land, presented a Constitntion Re- publican in form, and asked for ad mission into the Unfen upon terms of Equality wkh tie other States.

The tax upon tea was not oppressive,— they would have felt little inoooveaieooe in paying ft, bat It was tribute exacted by a gov ernment in which they had no voice. And rather than submit to the imputation it# pay vent th. introduction of a free negro element “•** would h *™ implied, they flaw to Uteir in her bordora. Thia, it waa pretended, waa a | xrmaand .indicated their righta atthaexpenaa denial of the righta of oitiaeni of tome of tha I »t their blood and treaaure. But oonoaaaiona State., and conecqtienlly a violation of that j did not aatiafy their cupidity-th.tr appetite clause of the Constitution of the United States which provides that the "citisena of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and im munities of citizens in the several States."— But as monstrous and unfounded as was this claim, it would have been successful but for the indomitable courage, matchless eloquence, and consumste statesmanship of Hkmrt Olsv, who resorted to the device of transferring this question from the decision of Congress to the determination of the President of the United States, and insteed of comiug into the Union In the ordinary manner by act of Congress, Missouri was admitted by Executive procla mation. All thia did not appease the insatia ble appetite of our Northern foea. Our power had to be limited, and our influence in the Government destroyed to enable them fully to compass their euds. The agitation was kept ap by resolution# introduced into Congress to sanctiou, and by artful attempts to draw from the Supreme Court of the United States an opinion approving this outrage. Our people determined to abandon this hopeless contest Congress, and resort to their Slate Govern ments for redress. Gov. Troup, after noticing attempts, alledged tbat we compromised our digaity by discussing the question, and having declared the "argument exhausted," •jured us "to stand by our arms'* The Federal Executive and Congress from past ex perience of his determination and spirit, knew this was no idle ruebacu, and that they had to deal with a ruler and people who would not readily yield a position they had deliberately taken The check given by this stern deter mination was only momentary in the life of a nation—faith was broken with one sovereign State through her treaty stipulations wilh the Federal Government. Ad attempt was made to inl1i**iioe the legis lation of another, aud compel her submission to the most onerous impositions aud burthens by Federal troope. It was then discovered that tho Constitution was not a a compact, but form ed a consolidated government, and upon this perverted view of our institutions, the liberties of this country would have perished, had not the clear discrimination, the great analytic powers and unsurpassed reasoning of John C. Calhoun been prossed into our service. With heroic courage he breasted the storin, and sin gle and unaided, except by the powers of truth, of justice and of right. Constitutional freedom triumphed in his person over the combin ed powers of the Federal Government; the ar tifice, education and talent of the North—the Uucb of bia blade, like the spear of Ithuriel, caused the fiend to tremble, and for a time al layed the demon. The cloven foot soon again displayed itself. Excuses to justify outrages are never wanting, and the inventive resource! of our Northern friends, when they seek to as sail our righta or drain our substance, are in exhaustible. They become suddenly enamored of the right of petition—devoted to the liberty of tho press and the freedom of speech, and in order to test whether these justly prized rights were in danger, flooded Congress with a batch of incendiary petitions, praying the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, the forts, arsenals, dock yards and territories, and the iterdiction of the trade in slaves between the State#. The signers of these petitions—those who were prominently put forward in thii ag itation—were without talent and destitute of influence. They were only the advano# guard of the main army which was lying in ambush. They are treated with neglect if not with scorn grew on what it fed—and they pursued the tame policy in referenoe to the remaining ter ritory. They only flailed in the application of their meana—to succeed in effecting their ends by expedients, if not so bold and offensive, el most, If not quite, as effective. Through the agency of a horde attracted to the Pacific shores, from every clime and country, of every com plexion and tongue, in violation of the lawsol the land, they seized upon the mineral treas ures of California, and assembling themselves in Convention at the invitation of a military officer, a servaut of the general government, formed a Constitution by which your labor was excluded from employment in the richest mines of the e .rth; and as a reward for their disobe dience and contempt of right, and in defiance of law, prevented themselves and boldly de manded admission into the Union upon terms of equality with the other States j and but for tbeir avowed determination to apply alike fraudulent and violent process to the remain der of the territory obtained by the treaty of Gaudaloupe Hidalgo, it is to be greatly feared tbat the government would have complied with this demand. But the 8outh having suffered from the active operations of "the underground railroads" in spiriting away her slaves, desired a more effectual remedy for the return of these fugitives, and in a spirit of devotion to the Un ion, for which she had made heavy sacrifices, not only gave up her rights in California, but also consented to the abolition of the slave traffic in the District of Columbia, and appro priated $10,000,000 from the common treasury to purchase, for Northern settlement, 40,000 square miles of territory from Texas, which, by the terms of the resolutions of annexation, had been solemnly devoted to our use. She got only in return a fugitive-slave law, which haa never been observed and enforced as it should have been, but which has been trampled under foot by Northern mobs, and nullified by North ern courts, executives and legislatures. Our citizens, in pursuit of their rights under tbat law, have been murdered in cold bio >d, or been subjected to degrading confinement and associ ation in penitentiaries with the vagabonds and felons that fill those prisons. It is also said that we obtained a recognition of the doctrine of non-intervention in the territorial govern ments then formed. This, however, in the opinion of many of our ablest statesmen and constitutional lawyers, is doubtful. In this compromise the South, for the sake of peace, and in the hope of allaylug agitation, again acquiesced. Georgia, with other of her Southern Asters did so reluctantly, and only up on conditions which, at the time, met the un qualified approval and warm applause of all peo ple, both at the North and South, who now claim to be conservative. Georgia's people, iu con vention assembled, resolved that they would “ resist even as a last resort to the dlsraptlon of every tie that bound them to tho Union” any attempt to impair or abolish the right of prop erty in slaves in the District of Colnmbea, and other places over which the federal government had exclusive Jurisdiction ; tlic rejection of any State applying for admission Into the Union, be cause of the recognition of slavery In her con- ttitution ; any interference with the slave trade between the States, and any failure to execute fhithfully the fugitive slave law; aud for a time we were encouraged with the belief that there conditions would be observed.

Of eourse no one expeete the ul tra Black Republicans to admit that there is any serious cause of appiehensioa fur the safe ly of the “glorious Union.” They are so be sotted whh ignotance of the South, and fsnat- ioel hatred of our institutions, aed are so de luded end blinded by a false estimate ef the soefel condition, the reeourceeand the charac ter of the Southern people, that nothing like reason or justice—uot to mention the observ anee of constitutional obligations—oould be expeoted at their hands. But we bed eappos ed that outside of this Infamous horde of fa natice, the mass of the Northern people bad a just appreciation of (he revolution at the South. Wt know (hat a portion of them have, and that they have raised their voieee continually agaiuat (be causes which led to the present condition of things, and which are rapidly hurrying ue into a woree. We have been sur prised, however, to dieeover lately by some newspaper articles, and also by oouveraatioas with persona direoily from the North, that a great many of the conservative and moderate men of the North will not look upon the revo lution ee anything more thaa a mete tempora ry expedient to bully the Black Republicans into terms ; and if that falls to secure the aired object (hat the South will give in after awhile. They think that the Oot:on States, even, are r.ot in earnest, and that they will re turn to the Union in a short time. They think the Border States ere only making a show of resistance, and that they have no idea of aben- doning the Union, whether any of the eompro misee demanded by them are granted or not. The fatal error of all thia lint in the tupposi lion tbat the people of the South are indiffer ent to the inauguration of Blaok Republican principles in the administration of the govern ment, and that it is only the poiit cians who are making all the noise. There never Was a greater mistake than this, aod to a person well informed as to the truo cbaraoler of the revolution it seemainoredible that there should be sueh a mistake. As to the Confederate States, it is simply childish aod absurd to sup pose tbat they intend to re uuite with the Black Republican States of the North. Tbat will never be done. And if the Border States are ever driven from the Union, as seems in evitable, they will be the last to return. There is no trifling in this matter anywhere at the South. The people are in earnest, and in the Border Slates the movement towards eeoculon has been tremendously accelerated by the re jection, first, of the Crittenden propositions, then of the Pease Conference propositions, and last and worst, by Abe Lincoln’s disgusting exudation of hypocrisy, duplicity, cunning and tyranny which took plaee on the 4tb March from the East portico of the Net ions!
