TEA IN North CAROLINA "A corresoon-
dent of the N. Y. Journal, writing from SAINT
Paule, Brazil, states matte, or Paraguay tea
of which he saw great quantities at Paranan-
qua, is indigenous to North Carolina and may
be successfully cultivated in that State. In
his letter, he remarks:
Now if this tree or bush really abounds
in North Carolina why may not the enterprise
of some of her citizens add to the exports laid
down in every geography as tar. tobacco, tur
pentine and lumber, matter? Brazil and Pa
raguay are reaping their millions from &
shrub which grows spontaneously, and th'
subject is really worth investigation, in ou

time when reVerie is eve deepest, and fond
memory reverts to the hight scenes of other
days-when cogitationl so soothing and

But, 10 the scene i now changed-some-

A "Good Yarn"

The editor of the Albany Police Tribune
tells the following:
Some five years since two well-known Alba
mans left this city to seek their fortunes at
Washington. We will call them Mr.. A. and
Mr.B. Mr.. A. got a eontracsfrom the govern
ment, and made a snug little pile, some S40,-
900 worth of real estate. While acquiring
this property, Mr.. A. contracted about 81
900 worth Of debts, s. 500 of which beleng-
ed to Mr.. B. Mr.A. is not any more honest
than the law allows. So he thought he would
get rid Of :" those cussed bores," his creditors,
by making over his property to his niece
fine looking young lady, aged about eighteen.
He accordingly went to a lawyer, made out
the papers, assigned the whole of his real es-
tate ~ ilis niece, s,.,. Interesting yaGs. :
already spoken of. Having concluded his
rangements, he thought he would go South
and look at the country. This took place
last summer Dnring his absence in pursuit
of quietness and cotton fields, Mr.. b. ascer-
tains all about the assignment, and goes in
for making all things square. He commen-
ced operations by courting the niece afore-
said, and finished up by marrying her
When Mr.. A. returns from Georgia he finds
he has been dOne-that Mr.. b. has not only
got the value of his debt, but S37, 500
worth Of real estate in addition. Mr.. A. is
now swearing in eight syllables, and insists
that it is a conspiracy.

THE OLD ROMAN AND HIS HORSE.

There was once Roman Emperor who had a
iavorte horse which he named Incitetus. The
Emperor was very cruel man and withal u strage
old fellow who did many curious things Among
other strange f eaks, he used to have Incitatus
brought to table where he with his family and his
whole court took their meals.
Here he fed him with glded oats and gave him
costly wine to drink, from eweled drinking vcs-
sell He commanded his subjects to salute him
with the greatest respect, just as they would any
great man. AT last in his folly, he was going to
make his horse consul. A consul was man who
held high Office in the Roman government He
going to have his horse declared consal of tho
Roman people and duly installed into the Office.
But the poor horse died before he reached the
dignity
| Now suppose the old Emperor had made regu-
lar decree or law that his horse, Inci.atus,
should be the consul of the Roman people, and
should be honored and treated as q consul Would
that have made the horse consul No. for it
was not in his nature 30 be a consul and all the
DEGREES and statutes in the world could not mako
him one. For when the law said that the horse
was consel, and ought to be treated as a consul.
it told lie and so could not be a law. We have
no laws nowadays, which tell the absurd ie that
horses are men and must be treated as men, but we
have what are called laws, that tell neaaer lie
tie than that. For they say that man shall be a
piece Of property, like a horse,-shall be bred.
But are they really laws any more than the old
Emperor's decree Did the one tell any bigger
lie than the other ? What do you say boys and
girls They have the form of laws, to be sure,
bat does that make them laws? If it does, then
any lie, that is made up into statute, is a law.
and men ought to believe and obey it.

of Hengist and IIorsa, Of Luther and Latimer, and
Of the British reformers. .....
The great questions havo come before the AnglC
Saxon people, in successive centuries They were
decided by the Church revolution in the 10th cen
tury, when religious freedom was founded; the
State revolution in the 18th century, when civil
liberty was established, with much bloodshed and
the American revolution, in the 18th century, when
the questions adjourned from the old world strug-
gle found a settlement here. The fourth question
is now raised--shall American democracy bold
property in man, as part of republican form OF
Government 1t is only the old claim OF the Di.
vine right of capital against lab,r, the strong
against the weak, the tyrant against mankind. The
question must be met at once, il can only Le set.
tied by the best blood Of the land.
There are only two ways to resist slavery aggres
sion with any prospect Of succesc. A dissolution
of tho Union, leaving the South to settle its own
difficulty, is urged by many, but this the lecturer
regarded as neither practical nor just. 1t might
come to that, however. in the end. Slavery is the
wedge between the North and the South The
true men Of the North try to pull it on but Pierce,
and the Democratic party, and the Staight Wings
and the American party, continually strike it, and
if they strike it much longer it vii. split us asun
der. The other way. which he regarded as more
feasible and proper was to use the present local
and national legislation for abolishing slavery.
He then recounted the various measures which
should be adopted by the State Legislatures and
Congress, and concluded with an eloquent appeal
TO the men of the North to be united and earnest
for freedom, as the South s for slavery"
Next Thursday evening Mr.. Campbell of Ohio,
will lecture, if he can leave Congress- and on
Thursday following, Mr.. Hilliard Of Alabama, has
promised to deliver his lecture.

Having these opinions as to the Union and the
Consttution, we cannot place ourselves by the side
Of Mr.. Banks and Of the party he represents. We
cannot support such Union. We cannot swear
TO support it, meaning TO do best to destroy it.
We cannot appoint others to do any of these things
tor us. We are shut out from political power, pri-
marily or deriv0tively, not because do not love
1t as well as others, necessarily, but because we
cannot pay the price which must be paid for it,
We must be true to ourselves, come what may
Even the Slaves may not ask us to sacrifice our
own sense Of personal duty and honour for their
ldeliverance But we are assured that ours is both
the right and the effectual way. We have seen no
results of Anti-Slavery political action, in the Fed
eral arena that make us doubt the worldly wisdom
of our course. Men Of large Anti-Slavery hearts,
with no such scruple as withholds US from public
life, have been sitting in either House at Washing
ton for years, and what have they accomplished ?
What have they even hindered or delayed John
Quicy Adams, Giddings, Sumner, Palfrey, Hale,
Smith, and many more, have been doing their en-
deavcur there for long years. and what have they
brought to pass? They have done good work
rs Anti-Slavery lecturers standing on a platform
from which all the world could see and hear them
aud agitating the subject of Slavery. But this is
not what they were sent there for. What have
they done or hindered from being done, politically
as Members of the Legislature Let Texas, the
Mexican War, the Compromise the Fugitive Slave
Law, the Repeal of the Missouri Compact, answer.
They not only have done nothing but it is polit-
eally impossible they ever should do anything, as
long as the present political system lasts. We
think we are acting more wisely in our generation,
more practically, il you please, in preparing the
way for the only Movement that can deliver the
country and help the Slave. 1t must and will
come, for there are the Slaves; here are human
hearts and human minds; and above is God him
