The Editor of the AshviIe Messenger N. Z in
one of his letters written from Charleston TO til at
PAPER: speaking Of GreenviIe, Secession &c, says:
"We called on the Editors Of the "Mouh-
tanecr' but they were not in; we were more
fortunate with the "Patriot," as we found both,
and made their acquaintance. Mtj. Perry Is
fine looking pleasant gentleman. Mr.. Elford is
small not overly handsome, but social'le, bold
and intelligent ;'uccess to them. Ifthey both

ter. which are opposed to secession or separate
State--iestnctiUn, and there will be an able
paper started here on the lst Of July to aid them.
Union meetings will be held over the State on
the 4th of July"
If it is true that those papers mentioned above

.tOuestions for Ssc ,ssio aists.n

The Editor of the North Carolina Argus asks
eight questions on this subject, aud in conclusion
wonders if Mr.. Rhett, or any other gentleman will
undertake their solution, we can't answer for Mr.
Rhett, but ijr ourselves, can say that the people
can do whatever they please, and if the people,
were not misguided by dishonest politicians, and
corrupt influences, emanations from the peurIle
Submission presses of the SJuth and Southwest,
they would at once rise up in their majesty and
power, and throw off those unhallowed iniuan-
ces which have bound them so long i'll Chains o t

State will assert their rights in spite Of all the
Federal influences which have been brought to
bear against her, by those compromise free-soa
presses within her borders who have already
bowed the knee to federal power. If the Editor
OF the Argus wants answers to bis nterrogatories,
he can find them, in Some Reasons for secession"

MANS LIFE,

The emotions and thoughts of infancy and
youth are of the Present There is no Past 10
those TO whom all Nature is both strange and
beautiful.
The infant behelds the mothers smile, and
thinks of nothing more; it sinks to slumber IN
the mothers arms, and no wild fancies fill its
simple MUD; it receives that mothers cares,
and is unconscious OF any thing beyond her
fond endearments. The little creature is wrap
ned up in the present, and DER that present
presides a guardian angel, and that guardian
angel is the mother Dear Thing! it's innocent
-'tis beautlul-'tis lovel yet the day will
come when its young breast will be filled with
louginos for the Future; when the Present will
be painful, and dark. and anxious; aul when
the experience, and the joys, aud the affections
of the Past will come upon it III all their sadness
and beauty. Poor child methinks if l vert
thou I'd nestle down upon the bosom that now
cherishes thee, and due.
The youth, too, comes not beyond the Pre-
sent. He eagerly grasps the Joys OF his young
cxistence-ioys rs unsubstantial rs the phan-
toms which float upon the brow otmor Ma

ly come when that nature Will not nave us
charm; when the breezcs that tan your now
unrutfled brow. will pass unheeded by, and
when the ripping waters will have no sweet
murmurugs for you. Thus 1t Is with Infancy
and Youth
The Manhood od-brave Manhood, is intent
u,on the Futuc-thc Future of his life, not of

.Y@ 1t is hardly necessary for us to say that
the article which appears to-day, giving" some
reasons for secession is entirely in accordance
with our views, the simple fact Of its occupying
our editorial Column, sufficiently demonstrates
that, it is from the pen OF one who has done much
valuable service in this Use in another State, and
who has been for many years actively engaged i'll

A SLAVE CASE IN CLEVELAND.

The Cleveland Herald of May 3lst, has the
following account of slaves refusal to leave
her mistress:
Yesterday Miss Minor a lady from Louisi-
ana, who in company with her uncle WAS stop.
ping at the New England, was citrd to appear
before Judge Atkins to show cause why she
restrained the liberty Of Mary Bryant, Il slave
woman who was with her. Miss Minor did
not appear but said Mary was at liberty to go
where she pleased. The Judge declared Ma
ry free, but she insisted on going back to her
mistress whom she had attended from infancy.
The colored people who had been active in the
matter were exceedingly chagrined at the
result
We.were not present, but are informed that
the Judge wasted much breath in expatiatng
to the servant on the blessings of that freedom
which she did not seem to desire, and in per-
suading her to profit by his decision.
At evening the New England Omnibus con-
yeyed Miss Minors family and Mary Bryant,
to the Empire State. A crowd Of negroes,
some of whome had been heard to say that
the slave should not leave the city, gathered
about the gangway, and, as she attempted to
pass on board, one of them caught her by the
dress. Mr.. Clark Warren, Deputy Marshal.
ordered him to desst, and fearing the "cane'
he did so, and she went Oh board. A stout he.
gro then stepped forward and said, "you are an
officer of the law, this is the law Of the land,
but there is law Of God" "Yes,' replied
Clark, "and if you don't leave this spot, you'll
feel the grace of God over your head from my
cane" The advocate of "higher law moved
his boots speedily. Mr.. Minor rendered Mr..
Warren an eagle for theserv rendered, which,
as he had only done what Cleveland officers al
ways will do-protected strangers from annoy
ance and insult, was very properly ly declined. The
Empire State proceeded on her way with the
woman who had the good sense to prefer the
guardianship Of those whose professions would
furnish but scanty raiment, food or comfort
