BORROWING TRoUBLEs.-It is matter Of
surprise why men SO often put themselves
out with the world by borrowing troubles
Not content with what Providence may see
tit to visit them, they make themselves miser-
able by seeking out something to complain
about and to make their neighbors as miscr>
able as themselves in listening to their viii
ming cant. One of the best things in Tup-
per's writings is on this point:
Thou hast seen many troubles, travel
stained pilgrim of the world. But that which
hath vexed thee most, hath been the looking
for evil. And though calamities have crossed
thee, and misery been heaped upon thy head,
yet ills that never happened, have chiefly
made thee wretched."

Self Government.

Study to obtain the mastery ever your pas
sions and appetites; for no man, whose ami
NAL appetites arc his masters, can fulfil the
great object of his creation, and perform the
duties and enjoy the privileges given him by
his Creator. He who would master the re-
condite truths Of science and dig priceless
gems from the deep mine Of knowledge, must
first learn to master his own sordid nature. =

nA- We thought our Correspondent,
:" Northampton" was mistaken asto the posi-
ton taken by our friend Moore, of the War
renton News, concerning legislation on the
liquor traffic. We see that he has thrown
down the gauntlet to the Editor of the Wei
don Patriot, to argue through their respec-
tive columns the propriety of the measure,
and the Patriot has accepted it, qualified
with the declaration, that he is not opposed
to any legislation upon the subject but on
the contrary, is of the opinion that the Leg
~islature could, by wise enactments, do much
good"-and intimates that it is the Maine
Liquor Law" he would like to discuss. To
this the News demurs, but agrees to discuss
"a North Carolina law, framed with a view
to the state of things in North Carolina a.
lone-a law calculated to remedy the evils

quence Of tho inadeqaaey of oNnNpresenF -:

marches up and takes position on the abroad
ground of entire prohibition, except for me
chanical and medicinal purposes, of the sale
of alcoholic liquors in the State"
We shall watch this friendly controversy
with great interest, and give our readers from
time to time the points taken and argued b,
each, (if the Patriot be sent in regularly a

arrested and brought to the city by Sheriff
Gavitt. Mr.. G. hearing that this man was
at certain place in Kentucky, Immediately
proceeded thither armed with the necessary
acquisitions and, as usual, succeeded in ar.
resting him. While returning with his pris.
oner, an attempt was made at Henderson to
have him released from Mr.. Gavitt's custody,
which, however, proved Intellectual.
Our Sheriff procured legal assistance, and
successfully opposed the proceeding. Great

manner in which he performs the duties OF
his Office. Wilson gave bail and was re.
leased.
