The Washington (N.. CO. Times closes an
article on the relative advantages OF farming
in Texas and in North Carolina, with the fol
lowingjust remarks:
"No one can 90 into new State anu re-
alize more than in an old one. ifhe lives as
he would in an old State. One reason why
a man sometimes realizes more IN n new State
than in an old one, is, he lives in log cabin,
and ON coarse fare there, while he would not
be satisfied here with less than line house
attended with luxury and other extrava-
gances. lfmen would make the same sacrl-
fees of ease and comfort here they do there
thew would realize equally AZ much If not
more. Let the sons of North Carolina i'm
prove their own State; let them buy up our
rich swamp lands and bring them intoa state
of cultivation; let them huild up their Towns
and Cities with their capital, and their chill
dreu will be proud of their birthright. and
will honor the State of their nativity"

The Ballot box.

Itis grand thing-somethipg which in
wolves profound doctrines of right, something
which has cost ages Of effort and sacrifice
il is q grand thing that here, at least, each
voter has just the weight of one man no
more, no less and the weakest by virtue of
bis recognized manhood, is az strong as the
mightiest. And consider for a moment what
it ia 10 cast vote. 1t is token Of inesti
mable privileges, and involves the RESPONSE
biiities OF an hereditary trust. 1t has passed
into your hands as trust, reaped from fields
Of suffering and blood. The grandeur Of
history is represented in your act. Men have
wrought with pen and tongue, and pinned in
dungeons, and died on scaHods, that you
might obtain this symbol of freedom, and
enjoy this consciousness Of a sacred individ-
| unfiey. To tho bsllos~box have been traos-
mittei as it were, the dignity Of the sceptre
and the potency Of the sword. And that
v hich is potent as n right, is also pregnant
ms duty for the present and for the future.
If you will that folded leaf becomes tongue
of Justice, q voice of order, force Of imre-
ria! law; securing rights, abolishing abuses,
erecting new institutions Of truth and love.
And, however you will, it is the expression
| Of solemn responsibility, the exercise Of 40
imme asurable power for evil now and here
after. 1t is the medium through which you
act upon your Countrywide organic nerve
which incorporates you with its life and vel

Doug,.s Dea,nes his Position.

The letter which will be found in our COL
umns from Senator Douglas, in regard to the
INQUIRY whether he would be candidate be-
fore the Charleston Convention for the NOM
ination to the Presidency, is quite ss definite
as anything we have yet seen from him. de
has evidently calculated the chances and
come to the conclusion that bis chance in that
grand caucus Of Shareholders is exceedingly
slim, now, and likely to be whitfield down to
the little point Of nothing by the time the
Convention assemblies. And in this view we
take it he, in effect, signifies his determine
ton not to enter the Convention as candi-
date, or at least leaves the matter in uncer-
tainty in the public mind in order that he may
be enabled to WELD his whole strength in fa-
yer of platform and candidate acceptable
to his wing Of the party.
Indeed he violates one of the cardinal fea-
lures of Democratic usage by proclaiming in
advance that he will not be candidate I'M
less the Convention makes platform to suit
his case, and if that position does not suffice
to rule him out Of the Convention rs can
didate, it will PROFESSIONALLY very seriously
weaken him with the Democracy before the
country. If, then, Douglas knows what be
IL about, this letter is to be understood by
the Democratic leaders as withdrawal from
the contest for the nomination and menace
held In ferrorem over them to induce them
to construct platform and place candi-
date upon it endorsed by him, if they desire
his cooperation and aid in the Presidential
campaign of 1860.
