STATE SURVEY.

We record with pleasure, the passage through
both Houses the bill for an Agricultural and Geo
logical survey Of the State of North Carolina.
The Bill authorizes the Governor to appoint
some gentleman of science, to conduct an Agri-
cultural. Geological, Neurological, and Botan-
ical Survey Of the whole State, making il
his duty, by himself or his assistants, to visit
every County in the State, and examine every
thing Of interest or value in either Of the above
depariments-to ascertain the nature and char.
acter of its pruducts-,he nature and character
Of its soil. as well as an account Of its minerals.
The whole expenditures Of the Survey are not
to exceed 5000 per annum disbursements to
be made under the supervision of the Governor
and Literary Board, and the Survey also to be
conducted under their supervision. The gen.
tleman appointed to conduct the Survey is to
have the liberty Of selecting, with the appruba-
ton Of the Governor, one or more assistants,
and TO deliver lectures in such places as he may
find it convenient, for the purpose of exciting
attention TO the subjects connected with the
Survey.
Wv huSt hhae III GhCISrdC anu COHpeteHl
gentleman will be selected, in order that the
vast resources Of the State may be fully deveI.

81 DR.. Fuller, of Baltimore, and formerly
of South Carolina, said in a recent address be-
fore the Colonization society, at Washington,
in reference to the agitation of the slavery
question at the North, that " the true peril is
that which politicians, he was afraid, overlooked
1t was in the nature ofthe religious sentiment
of the North with regard to slavery. Polite:
is the science of compromise; religion know.
no compromises. There is the danger"
And there he is right. Until abolitionisn
became to be engrafted in Church creeds AM
blended with Religious prejudices and notion
of duty, it was comparatively harmless bu
nursed as it is now, in the lap of the church
and fred with the zeal of religious fanaticism
il has grown to be a giant whose every trea
shakes this nation to its centre. Let the Min
listers of the Gospel at the North, and the in
~telligent and influential lay members, Danish
from the Church, and the concealed fires I
that volcano which is gathering under GU
feet" will be ~extinguished e~fectually, and W
think forever.

CONGRESS.

We are gratiied in being able to an
nounce that the bill providing for indemnity
to the claimants who have been so long pc
titioning the government in vain for the re-
dress of grievances they suffered from French
spoliatiOns, has passed the Senate. There are
a number ofthese claimants residents of North
Carolina, to whom this intelligence will be
most gratifying. The bill that has passed the
Senate a~ppropriates SIS, ZOO, 900. and much
of it will go to those who are much in need
of it, scattered over all parts of the country
many of whom have spent large sum il
f~ruitless attempts to get their claims acted
upon by Congress. We trust that the Housc
will initiate this laudable example, and unit,
at once in this act of tardy justice to mos
meritorious class of applicants for Legislative,
relief.

LovE-Love is a combined passion
a blending Of desire and esteem. So
there will be often a conflict between the
heart and the intellect-the animal in
element TO enjoyment, the mental res.
training desire. The controlling power
Of the latter forms the distinction be-
tween pure affection and vuluptuousness.
But the honey and the sting ever lie close
together. There may be but a hair
breadth between admiration and passion.
Inlellect is here the controller Of sense.
The sense perceives the charm Of femi-
nine grace and beauty, the excitement
Of passion is the natural Of instructive
consequence but this is chasiened BY
intellect, and becomes pure love.

"a A number of Divisions have failed
to make Returns to the Grand Scribe for the
last Quarter, and several for the two pre-
vious Quarters. We would call the atten-
tson Of all delinquents to the 18th Rule in
the Constitution for Grand Divisions, in
which it will be seen that such failure dis
qualities the Division from voting in Grand

Something to Tell You.

One evening weary traveller applied 10
an innkeeper, at village in Virginia, for per-
mission 10 remain in his house until morn
ing, saying at the same time that he had walk
ed that day great distance, and was very
tired; and, said he, have no money;
can't pay for ii; however, / can tell you
something that might be OF great value to
you. The inkeeper was penurious, and
would doubtless have summary turned him
off, but for his suggestion that lie could i'm
part something that might be Of great SER
vice 10 him, and yielded TO the travellers re-
quest upon the condition that he should COM
munlcate The secret 10 him. Morning camo
and the traveller had hot disclosed the Sc
cret. Breakfast over, the traveller prepared
10 depart; and as he had not disclosed tho
secret, the innkeeper began TO suspect that
he had been grossly Imposed on, which pro-
voked him 10 lille. As the traveller passed
out oi The house, the innkeeper reminded him
OF the condition upon which he had suffered
him to stop al his house. The traveller man
Iiested much surprise at his neglect 20 fulfil
1t, and affected TO be unable 10 account for il,
but at once bade the innkeeper 10 step aside
10 a place OF privacy, for the purpose OF i'm
parting the valuable information. Said he 10

tiary rs have had, and you should be put, ms
your work, on the tread wheel, get on the
side next the wall, for its much easier work
there" The rage of the innkeeper can be
better imagined than described. Il should
he said, however, he dealt with his cane a
deadly blow at the traveller, whose agility
rendered il harmless: and but for his corpu-
lency, the nnkeeper would have given chase
TO the traveller, who scampered away at full
sneed.

slaves-intcrests everywhere in this world. and
interests taking hold of the world to come, call
to us to preserve this Constellation as IL is and to
hand it down unimpaired to those who will soon
succeed us on the stage.
BE assured. if we divided, republican ism
will not long endure. Some successful ,unscru-
pulous generals will soon seize the reins Of
power, which if we suffer the Union now to be
dissolved. we shall demonstrate me are unwor.
thy to retain, and all will be lost .
call upon all lovers of the country and of
God, at the North and the South, for there are
unreasonable men at the South as well as
among ourselves, to unite in allaying this des-
tructive agitation which has already lasted far
too long. We would not silence, if we could,
the expression of truthful opinions. but merely
the language of heated dcnunciation, and pre-
vent all political action which threatens the
safety of our land.

As minister Of the gospel, honor those dis
tlngulshed men who have gladly contributed

intellectual powers to render these meetings

measures L believe they will still obey God
and their laws; this violent agitation must
subside. and our noble ship OF State, now
tossed upon stormy seas, shall yet sail through
smoother waters on her glorious voyage blessing

we annex from South Carolina paper, a
list Of reasons for dissolying the Union. Il
is, we doubt not, a correct abstract Of ,be
ideas which prevail in that s,ate.
GFrom the H.nnseoro, Is g Re:.nr1
HEAsoNs FOR DIssoLvING THE UNION.
Because for the last thirty year, i, has
proven withering and unmiligated curse
upon the south, having robbed us during His
period of not less than one thousand mil
lions, 10 build up northern interests and in
stIiutIons.
Because it has. by its late action, destroy.
ed the sovereignty and equality of fifteen
states OF this conledeTacy. aud degraded them
10 the condition of colonial dependencies.
Because Il has ceased TO afford US protec.
ton in any particular, its whole aim being TO
break down and destroy the south.
Because II is an abolition government, srrik-
ing directly nj the institutions and domestic
Poiicy oil the section in which we live, jis
whole Legislation being shaped 10 this end
and having this only for its object.
Because IN fine it has most signalIy failed
as nn experiment of the capacity of The peo.
PIE for self-e government. inasmuch as the
rights OF one section has been trampled under
foot 10 CRAFTY the fanalicism and lust for
power OF the other.
We are IN Jaror Of dissolution or disunion.--
Because II will bring wealth and greatness
to the south under u southern coniedeyacy,
which must inevitably arise from dissolu-
Iion.
Because it will restore tile sovereignty. in.
dependence and equality of the Southern
States.
Because it will afford US protection in our
persons, property, &c.
Because II will Kill off The foul spirit Of
abolition, by taking away the food il ieeds
Oh.
Because it will put an end 10 kidnapping
and border Iheving, and restore peace und
security TO the frontier states
Because il will promote the cause Of reli-
sion, morality and civilization in the south.
Because IT will built up system Of inter-
nal improvements; Increase the number Of
schools, colleges, &c.
Because It Will destroy entirely paupe rism
by enabling every man not physically diseas.
ed, 10 earn hls daily bread, and accumulate
from the abundance OF our prosperity, for
tune Tor himself in short time
| Because It Will renew and perpetuaie the
experiment of tile capabilny of the people for
seit-government.
Because if the slavery question is settled,
the seeds OF discord have been TOO deeply
sown by the north. even to bring forth any
other fruit than hos,ilityand constant wrang-
ling between The TWO sections.
Because the Union is TOO large and com.
posed of too various interests, ever to har.
monze together.
Because we honestly believe, the Almighty
never intended that the generous and noble
southerner should constitute one people,
with The cold, calculating, plunderng Yam
