HI LICENSE LAW.

While We are ayerse to the Order Of the
Sons Of Temperance taking any steps, as a
body and in an organized capacity, separate
and distinct from the rest Of our fellow-citizens,
for the suppression, by law, of the liquor traf-
&c, We yet believe it to be their duty, and the
duty Of Temperance journals, to agitate the
subject upon all suitable occasions, that a right
cons and enlightened public sentiment, aroused
to see the enOrmity of the system, may put an
end to il, with all its wicked consequences
The license laws now in force in our State,
may have been passed from a laudable desire
on the part Of the law making power, to place
this destroyer Of the happiness of our race,
under the control of good men, and thereby
mitigate the evil, which it was deemed would
result from an unrestricted sale thereof. II
this were the object to be accomplished, tbs
experiment has most signally failed. Thou
sands are now engaged in this business, by lie
gal authority, who are not only destitute o
moral principle, but strangers to all the bette
feelings Of our nature, and whose only OBJ
jecta is to secure the almighty dollar, regard
less Of the tears and groans, and bitter anguisl
of drunkard's wives, and drunkard's children
But this whole system is not only DESTRUCTIVE
in practice, but wrong in principles As we
might our Legislature license men of goo
moral character to monopolize the business {
gambling, or grant them an indulgence to CON
NIT any other crime, as to legalize and sam
ton a business fraught with evils unnumbel
ed, and misery and d~estitutions in a thousan
shapes. Let US cry aloud and spare not, unit
|, the rum-seller can no longer plead his licens
under the seal of our courts and corporate al
thorities in bar to the piteous cries and suppl
cations of innocent wives and helpless chi
dren. The moral force Of six thousand Scr
r of Temperance, aided by other good men j
our State, cannot long be resisted. Strip III
business Of the sanction and sanctity of la,
Let it stand forth in all its hideous deformit
a and we shall soon see that public sentimen
viii most effectually suppress the sale of all il
texicating drinks as a beverage.

REV. MR.. PERKINS ESSAY.

This capital Prize Essay upon the Evils
Of Intemperance and the remedy, is now cut
of Press and ready for delivery, Mt the fol-
lowing prices-single copies 10 cents, 81
per dozen, 81 for so copies, and 81 per hun
dred. An edition of 1900 copies has been
printed, and we trust that the members Of
the Order who may be in the City at the
Celebration, viii supply themselves with =
goodly number, and that those Divisions not
represented here, will send on their orders
for supplies, in order that Il can be scattered
broadcast throughout the State-satisfed Is
we are, that its perusal and circulation will
greatly tend to enlightening public opinion
upon the subject, and elevating public sen
timent with regard to the Temperance cause.

SESSIONS.

We are aware that we differ with a large
majority of the members of our Order in this
State, when w declare our preferences for
Semi Annual Sessions. of the Grand Division
but we think the good effects which have re-
suited in other States, as well as in North Car
olina, demonstrate that they are of the greatest
utility in the spread and progress of our cause.
Iii is rarelyif ever the case, thata session Of the
Grand Division fails to give fresh impetus to the
Order, wherever held and as, owing to the pre-
sent difficult and scarce means of transportation,
Raleighis perhaps the only point where solarge
representation as is essential should be in at
tendance at the Annual Sessions, it does seem
20 us but right that a Spring session should be
held in some other section, in order. that all por-
tons may have an opportunity Of engaging in
its deliberations, and sharing in the r~eviving and
stimulating demonstration which it occasions
wherever itassembles. So far as our own per-
sonal convenience is concerned, it would be pro-
noted by having only Annual Sessions, and we
cannot therefore be charged with interested
motivesi in urging that they be held ~oftener; but
we greatly prefer yielding our own conve.
~nience, and sacrificing what little time or ex-
pense it would incur, than by consulting both
to deprive the Order of the advantages which
we believe would grow out of S~emi-annuaI
meeting.
At the present meeting of the Grand Divis
> ion, strong petitions will be presented for hold
) ing a session next Spring, at Lincolnton, OIL
t somewhere West of the Catawba river. Oul
Order has spread in that section to a consider
: able extent, almost without an effort, on the par
: of the Grand Division, and it seems to us tina
: it is but due to them that the Grand Division
should lend a respectful earl to their request t
y enable them to take part in its proceedings
s Situated as they are, so remote from facilitic
$ fer travelling, it is very inconvenient for an,
n considerable numbered the Divisions in tina
d mountain region to visit Raleigh or any othe
point in the East to attend the Grand Division
And so it is with our extreme Eastern Com
ties; it is next to impossible for them to atten
at Raleigh, or still farther West. But if Sem
annual meetings are held, alternately in tn
West and East, the convenience and wishes
the Fraternity, in both these sections, will b
l. served, and, in our opinion, the interests an
spread of the Order begreatIy promoted.

TuE BoHoN UpAs TREE.

We have just been reading a description Of
this tree, as found on the island of Java. Il is
middled- sized tree. decorated with branches of
the most beautiful v;sTdure, growing in a valley
watered by a riyulet ard encompassed by hills,
not very far from Batavia. The hills and noun
tains in its yicinage are described as naked and
barren of vegetation, since no verdure grows
where the breezes wait the p~Sstilent vaPOrs a.
rising from the gum that exudes from its bark.
It is a beautiful tree, green and l~uxriant in ITSELF
but so deadly poisonous in its nature, that mol
only vegetable, but animal life dies beneath
its shadows. How strikingly mathematical is
this tree of the grOgseller : Like the Bohon
Upas, he is often found in some lovely valley,
spreading pestilence and death around him.
How often have the inhabitants of a Who'll.
neighborhOOd been poisoned BY. him, until, on,
after another, they dropt inIo the dishonoret
graves, while he stood erect and fourishing il
thegreen vigor of his age even as the Bohol
!, Upas, that stretches MS yezdant branches to tn
breeze, while its very leaves distil a moral poi

infused into our membership, as win be felt
throughout the entire State. Let US each and

benefcent Ruler of the Universe, from the in
cipient stages of this vice, to the present time.

though for a time permitted successfully to rear
its impudent and bloated form in our midst, He
will not fail in his own good time, through hu-
man agencies, to hurl the unhallowed thing

PREcAUTIoNs AGAINST POISON.

In Germany, TO proven; poison being OBJ
tanned for evil purposes, none is allowed to BE-
sold without a written order or certificate from
a physician. To prevent atPOisOn being made
a bad use Of, or taken by mistake, the arsenic is
mixed with iallOw and IamPblack, which makes
a compound that no human being could paItake
Of. None is allowed to be sold in a pure state.
Il has often occurred to rs that similar pre-
cautions ought to be employed in reference TO a
class of p~OisOns infinitely more fatal than any
here referred iO-we mean moral poisOa. Our
laws wisely require all druggists to paste on
drugs sold at their stores the word Poison and
should not the vendors Of Alcohol be required

THE OLD 3 STATE.

The following is from a North Carroll.
ma correspondent Of De Bows Review :
"While North Carolina has embarked
70 a limited extent, in manufactures, we
have been somewhat surprised that she
has not gone more fully into it. She
possesses as many, or more, natural adj
vantages for it than any other State in
the Union. She has water power suffice
tent, in her borders, to propel any amount
of maahinery, and that, too, disposed in
such a manneFgt that it could be applied,
readily and proftablg& She has exhaust
less beds Of coal and iron. which are as
easily worked as those Of any section oil
the world. Then, she has quantities oil
copper, silver, gold, lime and other min
erals, which might be worked to advan.
tage aud manufactured into those vari,
, Gus forms which would adapt them K

can produce as much woolas she nigh
desire; and yet, with the exception Of
]. few cotton factories, she has paid no at

There are to be found in our City and in a.

At Smyrna, the burial ground Of the
Armenians, like that Of the Moslem, is

could do with these bright things in a

As cur Paper goes to Press, the members of

ance are arriving in considerable numbers;
and the prospect is that a very large delega-

There is abundant cause for congratulation,
on account of the unexampled success and pros

approving smiles and blessings upon our efforts
to extend and perpctuate the benign i%nfiuen-
