the slaves in Virginia would be unbeArable.
counties would gradually become free
by the removal Ct the slaves. But NJ matter
in what way they become free, the consIitu-
ton Of the state, and Of all the slave States
should provide that slavery should never

A law now exists in North Carolina which
gives to counties the discretion of making
certain local regulations different from those
existing in the greater portion Ufthe State
For instance the school law was put to the
counties separately, aud VAS in operation for
several years in the greater part of the State
before it was received by EdgCcomb aud a
few other counties. A diversity in the local
regulations prevails 10 many other respects,
all of which have been sanction ed by the leg
%islature; why cannot this principle he extern
dPd to slavery. Ii the people in the uplaHds
of the South who endure the stigma without
reaping any Of the profits Of slavery, insist
on it they can have il so.
There would exist every motive in the up
land counties TO emancipate themselves had
they The pnwer-or rather could they be sP-
cured by law against the rr-introduclion Of
slavery. A free county ina slave state ould
he a bright spot on the surface of the world.
Emigr.nts would flock to it who are now de-
tered by the very name of slavery, though
il has lutte more than a nominal existence.
No matter brother, who made the sugges-
ton. You shall have the credit of it, if you
desire it. Let vs. see who can do the most
TO carry it out. That's the point. We hear
from all head quarters that it is approved
From East Tennessee, from West Virginia,
from North Carolina, from kentucky, all who
write say sit is the very thing" Let us
reason about il, until all hear of, and under
stand, the principle. 1t has long been a IA
vorite idea with us. Early in 'I2 we sug-
gested IL; in &c we pressed it earnestly; and
we mean now, TO Join "A Carolinian" and
all who may seek to defend and diifuse it.
But a warm hearted Marylander-a we-bit
irreverent-a little dashed it may be, at the
immense evil he combats-iull of generous
impulse, hut wanting, perhaps, more pa
tieuce and faith, has a word TO say. Hear
him.

it is so good a paper in its editorials and So
l~ectlons aud is withal so hearty and honest in
its tone, that | have altered my mind. | am
afraid you are a Yankee-you write with so
much more GOODNESS than we southern peo-
pie pnssess. We are like The Irish and make
our cause ridiculous by seeming too much in
earnest, aud using too many and too big
words. Mobs are indefensible upon any
principle | am acquainted with. but there is
a certain aggravaiIng way OF writing and talk
ing which would in time gnad Arch-angels
to phrenzy, and make a mob in Paradise.
I'm regard to slavery, | think the cause is
hopeless. We may as we'll strive to sink the
base of the Rocky Mountains! The devil
has taken too firm a grip upon the country,
and if here and there some signs indicate The
coming of better times, il is only because he
has let 90 "to spit on his hands" as it were,
to ''lighten his hold"
