At regular meeting of the sCivil Asso-
citation Of Columbus" held this evening at
early candle light, in the Court Rouse, the
President William H. Covington, IN the
Chair, and E. B. Drake appointed Secretary,
pro. tenn. Whereapon, the Secretary read
the Constitution of the Association, and " %.
Dowsing, Sen: the act passed June y, 1872,
ITO reduce into one act, the several laws to
suppress the evil practice of gaming" When,
by previous request, George R. layton. EGG.
rose and commented on the same, IN forclble
and lucid manner. After which, the follow
ing resolution, offered by p. B. Barker, Esq,
and seconded by Vim. Dowsing, Sen., was
adopted.
Resolved, That the thanks Of this Associa-
ton, and the community at large, are justly
due to the Judge, District Attorney, and
Grand Jury, of the last and special term OF
the Circuit Court for this County, for the no
bic stand they took, and faithful services rem
dered, for the suppression of Gaming and 9TH
er vices.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
WIN. H. CONVICTION, Pres.
E. B. DRAKE, 'Sec'y. pro. tenn.
Being present at the meeting, and MEM
Der of the Association ourselves, we viii here
give few outlines of Mr. Clayton's remarks.
He went into an investigation of the general
necessity of laws to suppress all vice; and
dwelt particularly on the obligation resting up
On any person in a community to see them
enforced. How, SAID Mr.. C.shalla stranger,
who comes among US, tell, whether the socie-
ty be good or bad without this test. He looks
at the statute book, finds there laid down, laws
most salutary, but what would be his surprise
to learn that were a dead letter; that they
were not enforced. The object of this Asso-
citation, he then said, was to see the laws put
into operation. They had been suffered to re-
main dead letter too long; and much vice
had sprung up in our community,-threat.
ming destruction of the young, and misery to
the aged. No one, he thought, could object
to the existence of this Association. IT'S OBJ
Ject was the good of society, and mankind al
large. 1t aimed at nothing but that which
the laws had expressly forbidden, and had en-
joined as duty on every man to suppress
Without following Mr.. g. in his lucid, able
and appropriate remarks a4y further, we would
briefly add, that this Association, although
having been in existence only three months
has accomplished much good; and it would b,
well for similar ones to be formed in ever
County and Town throughout the state
There is much vice abroad IN the land, agains
which the laws are loud in their denanciation
and why should we have them on our statut
book if they are not to be enforced, especial.
when the coed of society so essentially de
mands it! The rising generation are soon t
succeed to the Administration Of this Govern
ment, andif they be vicious and corrupt, how
can they exercise that wisdom and virtue, S
essential to the welfare ard duration Of Re
public.

SILAs WRIGHT AND MARTIN Van buren,.
These two individuals it seems have had
an understanding between them for years.
They have been playing into each others
hands, with all the success oftwo experienced
gamblers, and their end and aim were in the
language of Mr.. Wright himself to be enabled
at last in "BRINeING OFF THE sPons.'' The
letter we publish below, we find in the Albany
en-. W Journal, and was lately brought to
light by the interchangeable Editor of that paper,
THuRLow WEED, Esq. We ask for it the at
tentive. perUsal Of our readers, by which they

Our neighbors of the Democrat will
please accept our thanks for the honor

DECENCY.

We cut the following specimen of unadulter-
ated decency from the !" Spirit Of KosciusEo,' y
a newspaper edited by Col GoapoN D. BoYD.
"Col. BARKER ofthe Southern Argus allows
that we are more distinguished for Spirit than
Sense We allow that this same Colonel
was more distinguished for cowardice than
bravery, at the time he refused to give Col.
! S. F. BUTTERwoRTH honorable satisfaction for
an insult offered by him. The Col appears to
have grown quite seasitire."
Ita matter of regret to Us that Col Boyd
has allowed his political feelings to become SO
warm as 10 make alusion to a circumstance
which, probably Mr.. Butterworth would be
glad to forget and one which we had resolved
never to speak of in public The impression
Col Boyd desires to produce is a false one, and
we conceive II to be his duty 10 correct it as
publicly az he has made it. While VIC were
in Mobile in March last Mr.. Butterworth was,
we understood on our return, grossly insulted
by young gentleman ofthis place, out ofwhich
some difficulty arose. On our return, to our
great surprise a challenge was sent us by Mr..
B. with whom we had always been on terms
OF friendship, demanding satisfaction for an of
fenco committed by another in our ABSENCE
We declined to accept i for the following rea-
sons:
LIST. Not being conscious Of having injured
the challenger in thought, word OF deed.
3D. Having an insuperablo objection to fight
the battles another, who was and is compe-
tent and willing to defend himself and who is
better known and more respected in this CON-
munity than the challenger.
Sd. We are, and ever have been opposed to
the practice of duelling, and the fact acas and
is noe5z knorn to his community.

been collected in Pennsylv anla, during the present
year. as tolls for the merchandise that has passed be-

notwithstanding it has been season of comparative

that the public voice of Pennsylvania demands that
her present Improvements be sustained and that 9TH

executed. Sanguine calculators anticipate tha. the

NORTH CAROLINA-Messaee of Cor. Dudicv.

NORTH CARoLINA-Message Of Gov. Dudley.
This voluminous document, (about 20 columns
ola newspaper is said to have excited great scnsa-
ton in Raleigh. About two thirds of it is devoted
to the discussion Of propositions for improving the
internal condition of the State. Gov. D. being an
ardent friend of Internal Improvement.
Gov. ID. takes decided Wing ground in politics,
and thus puts to Eight the doubts which the Loco
Foco Editor in Raleigh endeavo,ed to excite on
the subject. He denounces the Sub Treasury
scheme, in the most emphatic terms, aud enters into
an elaborate exposition Of his objections TO that sys-
tenn. He expresses his decided conviction both of
the consttutionaliiy and utility Of National Bank
but he Says. II the of re charter are al
ways to be acted over, aud the public mind excited
and disturbed by the misrepresentation and agta-
lions OF corrupt parzans, ii may well be questioned
whether the advantages of such institution highly
as value it, are not couh,ervailed by the improper
uses to which its enemies bascly prostitute it," For
this re ason, the Governor proposes the State Bank
system, (thoroughly reformed howtver,) as a snbsli
tute for National Bank, and he recommends that n
Carolina lead the way IN the reform, by charering
Bank, with capital OF millions Of dollars al
loving the existing Banks subscribe all their capt
tai stock into it, the remaining stock be taken by
individuals, &c. &c.--In other words, Gov. ID. goes
for the single Bank system, which, although there
are some strong objections to It, is recommended by
numerous aud powerful considerations.
