WHO Is GOVERNORS"

Qui5bles must be scarce when the inventive mall
ice of rabid partzan Editor can find nothing more
plausible than the article which appeared in the last
Register under this head.
If the Register wishes to know who the Governor
of North Carolina is, he may ascertain by looking at
the election returns of August last, he go up
to the Capitol and he will find his Excellency Da-
valid S. Reid at his post, promptly and energetcally
discharging the duties of the high Office to which the
people of North Carolina have called him.
We doubt not that, if the Governor had accompan-
led the Literary Board down to the Swamp Lands,
which they visiting for the purpose of determin
ing the practicabiIy and expediency of certain
templated Improvements, the Register would have
found fault with him, and have wondered how he
could 60 away and leave the business of the State,
which required his presence at the Capital.
If the Editor of the Register is dspIeased with
the appointment of the Editor of the Standard one of
the Literary Board, we would remind him that the
late Editor of the Register held that Office for
siderable length of time, and though times is not
they used was, - still what is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander.
We have told the Register who is Governor,
will now tell him who is Neither the Editor of
the Standard the late Wing candidate for that Office,
nor the Editor of the Register, and never will be.
When we see such puny efforts made to defame
" such a. Dauid s. Reid, - we reminded
of hound yelping the track of a lion. Cease
vpers, ye bite file!

GAMING. The following passage from the charge
of Judge Nicholas TO the Grand Jury of the city of
Richmond and Henrieo County, Virginia, the late
term, has reference to vice, the destructive tenden
cies of which not overstated in the strong and
pointed language of the Judge:
s. The first of these which i shall mention, are the
various laws made to prevent unlawful gaming. Ut
the destructive and LIKING effects of this vice.
every person of observation and experience must be
convinced. Its tendency is to destroy all habits Of
regular ndustry-it adds to the impoverishment ofin
dividuals and fames-produces habits of dsspation,
and ends in the ruin of its votaries, who might 9TH
erwse have become useful citizens. To the youth of
our country, iii particularly pernicious. At period
OF life when the temperament is ardent the mind
suspicious and the character not formed, the seduc
tive love of play, impercePtIby, but less surely
leads to the destruction of many young man OF
bright prospects, the hope, and perhaps the stay Of
his family. 1t is by the influence of this baneful pas
sion this class that society is wounded in its
vital interests. feel it my duty recommend you
not only to enquire, but, in the emphatic language OF
your oath, diligently to enquire, whether gaming be
not carried within the limits of your urisdiion in
systematic and organized manner, and TO an alarm
ing extent! and if so, to apply the proper corec-
tive"
The Mirror draws the following deplorable picture
of New York: "Our city is infested by gang Of
cowardly fellows, who have no regular occupation,
and no income; and yet who manage to live like
fighting cocks, by preying on the fears of the
munity. They are sort of organized banditti, OF

GEN. SAUNDERS AND THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL.
We are authorised and requested by Gen. Saunders
to say, that upon his return to the City, he had
placed in his hands by friend the Commercial OF
May 1st, containing an extract from an Editorial OF
the Journal in which reference is had to him /; and
whilst he feels surprise at the qualification mani
tested by the Editor of the Commercial in copy
ing the article evincng 8" the recreancy Of prin-
cpaI Democratic Leader to the interests of his native
State he does feel surprised that article llib-
eral and unjust should have emanated from demo-
cratic paper of the character of the Journal 1t may
be- the political standing of Gen. S. has given birth
to the article. However, that may be, he authorises
say he uttered such sentiments that ascrbed
to him by the Journal, did he say anything in his
address to the people of Petersburg which he should
not be quite willing to have reported into the Journal
if correctly reported-as he is well satisfied he said
nothing which any native of the State might not with
proprety endorse. That he expects shortly to have
the opportunity of repeating in substance what he
did say, and of vndicang himself and others against
the vindictve and liberal attack of the Journal He
begs US, in the meantime the Editors of that
paper, whoever may have been their informant, to
what he may have said done in 1S34-'5 in regard
to Mr.. Memmenger and the Charleston and Cincin-
natl Rail Road, they have been most grossly misled.
That Gen. S. then Attorney General of the State
that he neither I" introduced Mr.. Memmemger to the
floor of the assembly, urged the passage of the
measure" in any form shape, and the Editors
must have been most willingly credulous to have
suffered themselves thus to have been imposed upon.
Had the Editors turned to the records of 1885, they
might have found true report of Gen. SIS views in
regard to the improvement of the State by Rail
Road from Fayetteville to the Yadkin, and of Will
mington as port, which met at the time with the
concurrence of distinguished Democratic friend of
that town; and to the memorial then presented the

The Slaves Response.


Tank you, Massa Have you laf your filli
Then me speak, nor take such freedom ill
fall,
And outraged nature claims the cause Of all.
Ny tale, in any place, would force a tear,
But calls for stronger, deeper feelings, here;
For while tread on free Coumbia's land,
And frce Americans before me stand
Vain. VAN, the glorious privilege TO me,
dm SLAPE, phiie all things else are free.
Vet was born, as you arc--no mans slave;
An heir TO all that liberal nature gave:
My mind can reason, and my limbs can move,
The same as yoursi like yours, my heart can
love,
Alike, my body, food and sleep sustain,
Like yours II suffers pleasure, want and pain.
One sun rules o'cr us, common skies surround,
One globe supports us and one grave must
bound.
Why then am l, devoid Of all, TO live,
That manly comfort, man to man should give
To live, to property and rights unknown,
Not even the common benefits my own
No gentle hand, when age is in decay,
To charm my cares, and soothe my pains away,
But, helpless, left TO quit this horrid stage,
Harrasscd in youth, and desolate in age.
