The Post RoY.

What has become of the movement started some
time ago relative to the Steamer Post Boy? Is she
to be repaired and resume her trips between this
town and Washington, not =? If not we would
suggest that she be out into the Sound and scut
tied. 1t is folly for the people of the towns and
of Hyde county to be Year deliberating on so small
matter; if they mean to keep up the boat let her be
started, speedily, or the project abandoned, 1t will
do none of any good to tsy to appear before the
public what we are not
If those having this matter in hand intend to do
anything let them DO it; and if not let the public be
apprised. We are tired of the questions PROFOUND
ed to us about the future of the Post Boy.

The DANGER OF PAYINa ATTENTIONS TO
'OTHER MEMS WIVES have recently
seen accounts in our exchanges OF most un-
happy difficulties that have arisen in families,
on account of married women permitting
men to pay them such attentions as a wife
should receive from nobody but her husband.
In some cases, these difficulties have devel-
oped into permanent estrangement and sepa-
ration of husbands and wives, accompanied
with much scandal; and innocent children
have thereby been reduced to state worse
than that Of orphanage. No married woman
should expose herself to the danger which
may result from even innocently permitting
men to pay her injudicious attentions. a
series of such acts and events every separate
one of which, taken by itself alone, may
have been unblameworthy, can easily be wo-
ven into a chain of testimony sufficient to
brand a woman with intamy and send her
broken-hearted to an untimely and dishon-
ored grave. Every married woman should
understand and appreciate this terrible fact,
and govern herself accordingly.

Letter of Victor Hugo ON the John Brown
Affnfr.

amir
Several months ago Victor Hugo sent an
address to the Haytians in regard to John
Brown, to which they responded by vote
Of thanks. The address and response have
already been published, and now we add the
following letter addressed by NJ. Hugo TO the
negro editor of the Hayti Progress, who for
warded the note
"Your letter has moved me greatly. You,
sir, are noble specimen of that black hu-
manity which has been so long laboring under
oppression and tyranny. From one end to
the other of this earth, the same flame en-
lightens mankind, and men of color, like
yourself stand forth as proof of this assertion.
The materialists may dispute the question;
but one thing is certain, there is but one God.
If therefore, there exists but one Father, we
must all be brothers. In defense of this
truth, John Brown died, in defense of this
truth have been combating all my life long.
Upon this earth no individual is either
white or black-nothing but spirits. You
are one Of these. In sight of God every soul
is white. love my country, your race, your
liberty, your revolution, your republic, your
the sight of all free men. Thence has issued
Il great example; it has burst the chains OF
despotism. You will help US also to break
the bonds of slavery, for bondage under
every form must ere long disappear. The
Southerns, by killing John Brown, have for
ever extinguished slavery. From this mo-
ment the American Union may be regarded
as destroyed, in spite of the shameful message
of the Observation-Disclosures regret this
fact most deeply, but it is fatal truth. Be-
tween the North and South stands the gibbet
upon which was executed John Brown.
Solidarity is no longer impossible. Such a
henious crime can not be shared, it must be
borne by one alone"

AMUSING INCIDENT OF THE REvoLUTIoS.-
An incident took place in the Massachusetts
Convention which ratified the Convention OF
the United States in l778. A member of the
Convention by the name of Abraham White,
who represented the town of Norton, in
Bristol County, talked a great deal in the
Convention, and was violently opposed to the
ratification of the Constitution, alleging that
it took too much power away from the peo-
pie and gave too much to their rulers. He
was also afraid of the influence of the law
yers. Chief Justice Parson, in one of his
great speeches in favor of the Constitution
alluded to the line of argument used by Mr..
White and others opposed to the Constitution
and said, as by the theory of the proposed
Government the people were the source of all
power, it was doing them great injustice to
suppose they would abuse it to their own
prejudice. Mr.. White, feeling rather hard
pressed and thinking it necessary to say
Something, interrupted the Chief Justice by
exclaiming, ~ tell you, sir, the people ought
to be jealous of their rulers, and If any ld,V-
ger WiH beat me out Of that I sciH give him ten
g,ineas P He was very proud of his reply,
and turned to Israel Washburn, who was the
delegate from the town of Raynham, and a
friend to the ratification of the Constitution
and said, "Didn't FIRE into them well?"
Yes replied Washburn dryly, "you fired
well, but you didn't hit any body"
