We VIII Snbdue You"
Douglas and tie Southern Press.
BIZ RICHARD REALr.

Ayei tell it to the slaves that quake
~ Among your cane-felds and your swamps:-
Ayei hiss It to the wrecks ye make
Beneath your chambers midnight lamps!
With curses from your coward lips
With tortures and with threats 10 kin,
And dsmning stripes from steaming Whips
Subdue your chatties to your viii.
But never speak those words to rs
Who draw free breath on Freedoms soil;
Lest on your heads the slanderons
Black lie of blasphemy recoil.
We owe no fealty to you,
Whose god Is slippery with the gore
Your horr1d knives and scourges drew
From those gashed souls you lord 1t DER.
There moves no savage thro' your CLINE,
Tho belted to the ribs with steel,
And choked up to the teeth with crime,
OF whom we dare not think and feel,
And speak, too, as the Truth shall list,
In tones that scorch, or words that warm,
Till pelted, pilloried and hissed,
He sinks forth from the peoples seorn.
Subdue usf When your brutal hofdes
Were spewed up as from siekened hell;
And cleaning guns aud bristiing swords
Across our startled vision fell
Forget ye how your courage went
In pallor that we yielded mott
At crack Of our shrili rifle shot7
AT Franklin, in the dead of night,
And green Palmyras bloody fray;
And Ossawatamiefs red fight,
And Lawrence, on that Sabbath day
We taught you lessons that should hush
Your braggart tongues in very shame;
And cause your craven blood TO gush
In living sheets of crimson flame.
Subdue us? Why, the babes that lie
In waiting for our daily kiss
OF greeting, as we hasten by
Do seoff at We for cowardice,
And gray-haired Fathers, tottering past
And elinging woman's aute-like notes,
That swelled out to battle-blast-
Cram the foul falsehood down your threats.
Subdue the children OF the men
Who launched the Maydower on the seas;
And heard God talking with them, when
Beneath their bended Pilgrim knees,
The whitened rocks of Plymouth thrilled;
And started ike living soul,
At those deep cries of faith that stiIled
The lashed waves into calm control?
Subdue the SONS of those who fought
Knee-deep in blood, on Bunker Hill,
Nor ever rested till they wrought
Heavens teachings on monarch's will?
Subdue people who subdue
The forests and the mighty plains,
And make the old earth ring anew
With answering songs of higher gains?
Subdue US? Ayel perchanee We may,
When, rising UP to manly aims,
Ye cast your scowling pride away,
And wipe the purple from your names:
Ayei when ye win the highest place
OF honor in these peerless wars,
Of strength and truth and princely grace
Ye shall be called as conquerors.
We give the grasp of loving hands
We speak the words of kindly zeal,
To all who crown the swarining lands
With larger hopes of human weal;-
But while your 'chtUGlry' begets
Such ulcers on the Nations heart,
We break like reeds your empty threats;
And stand as strangers-wide apart.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

We learn from the Wilmington papers
that o serious accident occurred ON the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad on the
afternoon of the 4th. As the down train
from Weldon got within short distance OF
the trestle work over Yellow Marsh, eight
miles below Goldsbero, the axle of the driv-
ing wheel of the locomotive broke The
engineer finding it impossible to stop the
cars before reaching the trestfe work, en-
deavored to rush the train over and reach
the embankment on the other side The
train passed over, bat just as it did so the
cars were thrown off the track and down
the embankment some 25 or 80 feet, the
engine and tender remaining upon the rails.
There were some IS or 80 passengers-the
cars in which they were sitting rolled over
several times and smashed up.
Twelve or fifteen persons were injured,
but not fatally. Mrs Mcknight from Char
lesion, E D. Downing, conductor of the
train, Mr. Little, agt. for Adams Express,
and a train hand and negro woman were
seriously hurt.
It is stated that the accident is not at
tributable to neglect or fault of any person,
as no human foresight: could have guarded
against i. '-.
The Wilmington Journal of the 9TH
states that all the wounded persons have
recovered, and that the damage to the Road
was slight aud Immediately repaired.

SENATORIAL VOTERS.

The Fayetteville Observer says chat
we have been led into an error in stating,
last week. in an article in favor of Free
Suffrage, that according to the present law
aliens can vote for a Senator If they own
fifty acres of land.
When we made the statement we had the
two following clauses of the Constitution in
view:
"That all free men of the age of 81 years, ex-
cept as is hereinafter declared (which proyiso
excludes mixed blooded persons from the right OF
Suffrage who have been inhabitants of any one
district within the State twelve months immedi-
ately preceding the day of any election, and
possessed of a freehold within the same district
of fifty acres of land for six months next before
and at the day Of election, shall be entitled to
vote for member of the Senate"
THAT every foreigner, who comes to settle in
this State, having first taken oath of allegiance
to the same, may purchase, or by other Just
means acquire, hold and transfer, land or other
real estate and after one years residence shall
be deemed free citizen ~
Now according to the above the infer
ence is clear that aliens foreigners who
have not become or declared an intention
to become citizens of the United States)
have the privilege of exercising the right
of suffrage in North Carolina. But the
Observer says that the Supreme Court OF
North Carolina has decided the provisions
of our State Constitution as to citizenship,
unconstitutional and of no effect, because
the Constitution of the United States gives
Congress the sole right to make citizens by
establishing uniform laws of naturalization,
which right Congress has exercised
We had lost sight of the decision of the
Supreme Court on the point, and acknowl-
edge that if poll-holders act in accordance
with said decision (Which they are bound to
do) aliens cannot vote for Senator. But
the practice has been in some places, to al
low a man to vote for Senator if he held
the freehold qualification and had paid
public taxes, without regard to his rights as
citizen of the U. S.
The amendment just adopted by the peo-
pie is worded to conform to the laws OF
Congress on the subject by reading Every
free white man of the age of 81 years, being
a natiue or naturalized citizen of the United
States" &c.
We know that States Rights men have
commended that Congress has no power to
regulate this matter within the different
States-that it is a point for the States
themselves to decide upon, who shall exer-
else the right of suffrage and who shall not.
1t has been commended that while Congress
can make q citizen of the United States, ii
cannot endow any one with citizenship in q
particular State. Whether the principle
is right or wrong, we are not prepared to
express an opinion at present.

THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING Thin
There is an advantage in being thin. Peo-
pie of spare flesh are generally the most
lucky individuals in the world. In a crowd
ed omnibus, though never full, room can
always be made for thin, spare-bone in
dividual. In shipwreck, the spare made
man always stapds the best chances for
escape. If the ferry boat has just left the
slip. the thin man by slight spring is sure
to land on the deck of the boat, while the
fat individual leaps into the water. If q
stage coach upsets, the man of rotundity
breaks his leg OF bruises his hand, while
spare bones escapes totally uninjured. If
iostled in a crowd. the former becomes il
ritated and vexed, but the latter creeps
through the slightest assures, and hurries
on his way. If at concert the thin man
finds himself surrounded by crinoline, he
congresses himself into q ramrod and suf-
fers no inconvenience: whereas the fat man
on the seat behind him, who is similarly
situated, fairly groans in his misery. We
are very thankful that we are thin.-Er.
Paper.
And SO say zee. A thin man can stand
heat and cold better than a fat one-can do
with less food, less sleep, less medicine and
less whiskey. He can out-run, out.jump,
and out-lie ton comfortable bed) creation.
But when it comes to sitting on hard boards,
the fat one has the advantage, decidedly,
