Unconstitutional"

In these days of Court decisions, upon the
constitutionality or unconstitutionality of
Prohibitory laws, SO conflicting are those
opinions, that it is impossible to come to an
intelligent understandings to who is right
and who wrong. The U. S. Supreme Court
has decided the power of a State to pass pro-
hibitory laws constitutional. So have the
Supreme Courts of Massachusetts,, Connect
cut, Rhode Island, Michigan, and other
States. The Supreme Court of Illinois has
decided against its constitutionality. And
now the great State of New York has dec;-
ced by its Supreme Court-at least five Judg.
es, three disa5reeing-haye declared the
New York law to be unconstitutional . or
rather, that the demonstrations part is so
blended with the other parts of the law, req
ulating the sale Of liquors, that all those
parts were void" It was decided, five judo
es agreeing and three dissenting, chat the
Legislature could not prohibit the sale of Ii
quors which were in the State at the time
when the law was made - but it was unan-
lmously decided that the law could prohibit
the sale of those which should be maaufac-
tured or brought into the State after the law
shall take effect"
On this point, the eight Judges were UNAS.

passed upon, is declared unconstitutional.

Court, that a PobiJitory Law may be passed,

As to the distinction drawn between LIQUOR

a Rum steeped Brain.

Could the tippler be made understand the
effect hat the use of his stimulants has upon
his brain, he might perchance stop and pause
in his mad career. The entire force Of alco-
hol when taken in the stomach is spent upon
the brain, and after a protracted use, ie-rIts
IN a permanent change in its structure. The
experienced Anatomist knows nj once when
the brain of the habitual drinkcr is unde. his
scalpel. We have frequently hcarl Prof.

Death closes the eye-ae.i:s it while the

spark and while its delicate mechanism throbs
with the pulses Of life. What infatuation to
desecrate the noble and a3llike. What a
giaring suicide to change tic brain into lead
and the heart to @listlcss st,ne. But such il
the fact; thousands are daily c, m~niting SUI

NEGRO TRADING.-We have been requested
by several citizens to call attention TO the ex-
listing evil of negroes trading with white
persons. without ermits,-cspecially with
those who sell liquor. Prompt steps should
be taken to put down this traffic.
We clip the above from the Raleigh Reg
lister. There is no doubt but the evil com
planned Of has increased until it has Lceome
alarming. But the easy manner in which
offender are disposed of by our county
courts, make it almost folly for our City Po-
lice to'interfere. We have known cases dis
charged, upon the most trivial pretences, or
subterfuges, when proof positive was at
hand to convict the parties implicated. 1t is
so cruel to punish a fellow for selling a poor
negro a drink Of Whiskey. Sympathy for
''the %critter," goes father than respect for tic
law.

of John Lockley, was tried on Thur sday for
Burglary; the penalty, in case of conviction.
being death. He sometime since broke into
the Clothing Store of E. Rosenthal, on VIII
mington Street, and distracted various arti-
cles therefrom. The same negro, bv the
way, not long ago, was whipped for forging
the names of several of our citizens. The
Attorney General appeared for the State, and
Messrs. D. G. Fowle, E. G. Haywood and
Thos. Yenable for the criminal. After argu-
ment by counsel, and charge by His Honor.

Said a gentleman to us a few days since
How is it you keep your courage up, and
labor as industriously as you do, in the
midst of such declension and supineness in
your Order. You seem to work with as
much earnestness now, as in the times when
the high tide of success seemed bearing you
on to certain victory" Our reply was, and
is-we were never more devoted to the pure
and holy principles of our Order than now
never more confident of its power to do
good and accomplish the work for whichit is
designed, than now never more certain
that the day of prosperity will return to our
Division rooms again.
And now brethren of the Order, we call
upon each and all to rally once more under
our glorious tri-colored Banner, ''the Red,
the White the, Blue" and let us resolve to
redeem our past lukewarmness and lethargy
by our zeal and fidelity for the future. Let
US resolve to
Fling out that war-worn flag again
To lead the good and true,
We need once more that guiding flame
The Red, the White, the Blue
There's music in each battle shred,
That stirs like bugle blast
1t tells of those whose rallying tread.
Hath throbbed along the Past.
1t tells of wandering ones redeemed
From errors CALLING chain
Where'er that beacon light hath beamed
The dead have lived again.
A bloodless field is ours, and yet
We need the truly brave,
With mightier than the b~ayonet,
Our injured land to save.
Then lift the beacon up one more
Awake the slumbering hosts!
AS proudly now as e'er before,
Each soldier to his post.
Up, brothers put the harness on
With FURNISHED battle brand,
We'd strike again like faithful Sons,

Gen. Cary not Coming.

1t will be seen by the following letter from
Gen. Cary, that private affairs, requiring his
attention at home, render it impracticable
for him to visit the South this Spring and
Summer. This intelligence will be received
with sincere regret, calculating as we were
the great good his powerful, convincing
Lectures were sure to effect upon the masses
of our people. But our disappointment
should by no means cause our energies or
efforts to relax ON the contrary, we should
be stimulated to increased personal ~exerti1n
and activity in advancing the good cause
We can talk to our neighbors, scatter tenn
perance reading, discuss the subject at pub
lie meetings, and in many ways scatter light
and knowledge that will be as lasting in the
convictions made, as those of the eloquent
orator. Let US not be idle, and "the re-
ward of our hands will be given u.s." But
to Gen. Cary's letter:
COLLEGE HILL, March 9th, 1856.
DEAR GoRMAN: Your letter of the 10Th inst.
came to hand last evening. 1t is now pretty well
settled that | cannot go South this Spring. IF I
could have left home, it was my purpose to can
vass South Carolina, during April and May. Nv
home affairs require so much of my attention,
that | shall be compelled to abandon the idea of
leaving. This conclusion I disliked to arrive at.
and informed my friends in S. c. with heartfelt
regret.
[ cannot return to North Carolina this Spring
or summer. | love to labor in your State. and
shall ever cherish a lively recollection of the
pleasant interviews with your people.
La haste, yours, &C.,
