Union ! glorious Union !" Neither will they be misled and prevented from an assertion of her rights by the stimulated lamentations and crocodile tears of that pestiferous brood of heartless demagogues who are seeking unmerited position by a betrayal of their own section. The union of the States being dissolved, North Carolina will claim and exercise the liberty of selecting her own associates. She will not hearken to »he counsels of those who are advising her to pass under the yoke, and to subm...it with fear and trembling to the galling rule of her oppressors. Neither, sir, will she heed the deceitful teach- ings of those among her own sons who are counseling the establishment of a mid- dle confederacy. Forced as she now is to make a selection between the North and South, she will not hesitate. Her interests, her sympathies, her destiny, are all with the latter. I do not propose to discuss here the question of a middle confederacy. I will simply remark that I regard it as an unmitigated humbug, a shallow device, to retard the great southern movement, and wholly unworthy of serious consideration^ It has not even the merit of southern origin.
