FlRE.-Late on Wednesday night, the
cracking Of fire in wood she'd adjoining
the residence of c. A. SEARS, on Second
street, aroused that gentleman, who, on
examination of his premises, fonnd a tolera-
bic beadway towards fire had been made
by the carelessness Of some Indians, who
have been in the habit of making the shed
their headquarters With considerable diff.
fculty Mr. S. subdued the flames, and thus,
second time within two weeks, has the
block Of buildings on the corner of Second
and Main streets, been saved from desiruc-
ton. This portion Of our city seems to be
doomed locality, and we fear it will yet
have to undergo the doom Of such comLus.

Our Country.

What mighty country, says Senator
Crittenden, we have. Does the sun shine
upon people that can say, my country
is equal to the country of the people Of
the United States of America? MOL
Providence, in an exemplary manner, has
taken care you. lie has cast your "lines
in pleasant places" lie has given YOU
the chosen land of the earth, and with
it he has given you the choicest blessing
of free government. These are all
your own. They were not--they did not
come by accident; they did not come by
the easy and the regulated descent which
the law gives to propriety. No! They
have been "bought with price" Liber-
ty has been driven from the world-al-
most every where there were Kings, and
Emperors, and Princes without number,
and the people were their footstools.-
Our people, in happy day, conceived the
glorious thought of freemen and liberty.
We determined to fight for it. After
long and arduous seven yeals struggle
you accomplished it. 1t was no easy ac-
quisition-blood and tears baptized it.
But, under the guidance of happy Prov
idence, we succeeded, and we have esta b.
! liShed for ourselves liberty. We formed
a government calculated to preserve that
liberty, and under that happy government
we now live, with prospect as bright as
is presented to the gaze of mankind.-
From humble beginning--from a coun-
try ruined-its houses burned and its
people slaughtered, to great extent by
the common enemy, by perseverance and
by valor, we succeeded and of the two or
three millions which came out successful
from that war, as sprung up now what
we may call this mighty nation of thirty
millions of ireemen-tnen enjoying actu-
al liberty under government that op-
| presses no man.
Dc you know man that is oppressed?
We extend over q vast surface, yet over
that vast sui face there is spread a govern
ment whose very instinct is liberty
there is no oppression anywhere in the
land. There may be bad government
their is---but there is nothing like tyran-
nical, oppressive government, upon peo-
pie. There is no tyrant to lay his hands
| upon freeman--there is no man that
has power against his will to enter the
cabin of the humblest citizen in this Com
monwealth, nor in this great nation
\ on do not know how to compare your
condition with the condition of the peo-
pie of other countries. We enjoy the
light and warmth of the glorious sun,
vet we hardly ever look up to tive
hardly ever think of our obligation to it.
The God of nature gave it to us. We
are familiar with its blessings. We do
not think enough of it to be thankful fo,
it. Well, as freemen, unless we turn our
minds to the task, we shall hardly think
where this liberty came from. 1t comes
from the glorious Union that binds us to-
gether and from that glorious Constitu-
ton which makes us freemen.

Listen to the Words Of IA Patriot.

The following is an extract from the
farewell address of Andrew Jackson
They are words ftly spoken, and worthy
the consideration of every citizen at the
present time. Read them reflect on them,
and then ask yourselves whether they are
not the words Of wisdom and truth,
"The citizens of every State should
studionsly avoid every thing calculated to
wound the sensibility or offend the nst
pride of the people of other States: and
they should frown upon any proceedings
within their own borders likely to disturb
the tranquility of their political brethren
in other portions of the Union. In a
country so extensive as the United States,
and with pursuits so varied, the internal
regulations OF the several States must lre
quently differ from one another in impor-
tant particulars: and this difference is un-
avoidably increased by the varying prin-
ciplcs upon which the American colonies
were originally planted; principles which
had taken deep root in their social re-
lations before the Revelation, and of ne
cessity, influencing their policy since they
became free and Independent States. But
each State has the unqueSiiouable right
to regulate its own internal concerns ac-
corning to its own pleasure; and while it
does not interfere with the rights of the
people Of other States or the ri !, hts of the
Union, every State must be sole Judge OF
the measures proper to secure the safety
OF its citizens and promote their happi-
ness: and ell efforts on the part of the
people of other States to cast odium upon
their institutions, and all measures calcu-
lated to disturb their rights of property
or to put in jeopardy their peace and in
ternal tranquility, are in direct opposition
to the spirit in which the Union was
formed, and must endanger its safety -
MotiDes Of philanthropy moy be assigned

SGch men may persuade themselves for a
moment hm they are idborinq IN the co~SC

Wisdom of the AncientS.

A great talker is seldom wise man.
a wise man speaks but sparingly.
Above all things, reverence thyself.
1t is better to be poor than ignorant.
Quiet and leisure are above everything.
One should not undertake what he
cannot perform.
A ,uan ought either to be good, or to
seem so.
Envy corrodes its possossors, as rusts
does iron.
Avarice and vanity are the principal
elements of all evil.
Praise not the unworthy on account of
their wealth.
A blush is the complexion of virtue.
In war, steel is better than gold; in life,
wisdom exceeds wealth.
One ought to remember kindness re-
ceived, and forget those one has done.
All things should be common between
friends; our friend is another self.
Procure not friends in haste; nor, if
once procured, in haste abandon them.
Commit no secret to a friend, which,
ifreported, will bring you to infamy.
Never praise a man for being like a
woman; nor woman for resembling a
man.
~ stranger, if just, is not only to be
preferred before countryman, but
kinSman.
1t is not only more honorable, but al
so more delightful to give than to receive
benefit.
Learning is an ornament to the rich,
refuge in adversely, and the best proyis-
ion against old age.
One part of knowledge consists in be-
ing ignorant of such things as are not
worthy to be known.
Learning teaches youth temperance,
affords comfort to old age, gives riches to
the poor, (?) and is an ornament to the
rich
Poverty and riches are the name es of
want and sufficency; he who wants any
thing ont not be called rich, and he who
wants nothing poor.
Such as have virtue always in their
mouths, and neg glect it in practice, are
like a harp, which emits sound pleas
ing to others. while itself is insensible of
the music.
We should remain tranquil and easy
on the death of our fiends both because
we cannot tell whether it has happened
for the better or the worse, and because
sorrow will be of no avail.
Men are more mindful Of wrongs than
of benefits, and it is but just that it seould
be so as he who restores a deposit de-
srrves no commendation, but he who de-
tainS it, blame and punishment

Much excitement exist in Canada in
relation to the course pursued by Mr.,
Matthews, a magistrate at Brantford. to-
wards fugitive slave from Missouri,
named Diggs. 1t appears that while
Diggs was escaping he killed man who
was pursuing him, and the Canadians
claim that it is clearlylno murder to kill
man who is trying to reduce one to
bondage. The magistrate rule, however,
that as it was murder in Missouri where
it occurred. he must act according to that
law, and he, therefore, committed the ne
gro. to be delivered up under the extra
dition law. The people of Brantford
are very much incensed and an appeal is
to be taken.

SEVERAL. London papers have recently
published leading article against the Gus
tom of oblging men servants to wear
livery. They declare that the necessity
imposed on them is degrading one. the
demand ridiculous one, and otherwise
discuss the matter in vein that would de-
light the rankest republican. They may
give ND the custom in England, but our
New York snobs will never yield it but
with life. We notice in Pittsburgh that
single attempt at quasi livery has been
made. The fellow is very much laughed
at, and looks, as he ought to do, very
much ashamed of himself.

REAR TN MIND

That John Pool the Know Nothing candidate
for Governor is pledged by his platform to tax
eUery species" of property all property in North
Carolina that he could not exempt anything, if he
would for the platform of his party provides only
for determinations, and not for exemptions; and
that to discriminate as to tao.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool now proposes to call
Convention to make amendment to the Con-
sttution and that at the last session of the Legis-
laure he voted against Convention to be called
for that very purpose.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool now processes to be
al vatorene man. but that at the last session of
the Legislature he voted against ad 0atorem in
every shape in which it was presented
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool voted in the Legs-
lature of 1856 against amending the charter OF
the Western North Carolina Railroad, so as to
grant the Road one and quarter million Of dol
lars to complete the work to and through the
Swanannoa gap; that after the bill had passed the
Senate, he voted with Gen. Dockery to reconsider
it, and then aided in defeating the bill. And yet
Mr. Pool processes to be friend to Western in
terests.
Bear in mind that j. Parker Jordan, ESQ.,,
while Commoner from Perquimans, voted for
bills to aid the Western Extension; that Mr. Pool
afterwards opposed him for the Senate in Pasquo-
tank and Perquimans, and defeated him mainly on
the ground that he, Mr. Jordan, had given these
uDeTdl votes.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool voted in 1856
against tie bill to extend the Wilmington and
Rutherford Road to Polk county the same
terms on which the Road had been constructed to
other points
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool voted against the
bill to aid the Atlantic and North Carolina Road.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool declares, in the face
of all these facts that he has given more Railroad
votes than Gov. Ellis ever gave. If Mr. Pool has
ever voted for internal improvements at all, he has
voted only for empty charters.
Bear in mind that during MIR POOLS term of
service in 1858, he dodged 145 out of 81 calls
of the yeas and nays! He was looking to a can
vass for Governor, and feared that if he met the
various questions on which these yeas and nays
were called it would injure his prospects can
didate. Is such man worthy of public conf
dence? Can he be depended on? We think not.
Bear in mind that Mr. Pool endorses the action
of William L. Yaneey and others, who seeded
from the Charleston Convention, by speaking of
them as "the only leaven in the Democratic
party" He thus throws the weight of his in
fuence as the Opposition candidate for Governor
on the side of man who would break up the
government and "precptate the cotton States into
revolution"
Read these facts and then hand the paper con-
tanning them to your neighbors.-RaL Standard.

ANOTHER FALSE CHARGE.--Another false
charge has been made against Gov. Ellis, viz that
he electioneered in the lobby of the last Legisla-
ture against the amendment to the Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad We suppose
the amendment alluded to is the one which pro-
posed to give the Company State Bonds instead
of endorsing the Bonds of the Company by the
State. BY the charter the State required to
endorse the Bonds of the Company to the amount
of S., 900 mile But inasmuch as State Bonds
were more saleable than the Bonds of the Com
pany endorsed by the State, (though both equally
good,) it was proposed to amend the charter so as
to pay the States subscription in State Bonds.
Now, We say that Gov. Ellis was not opposed to
this amendment, and did not eectioneer against it.
Gov. Morehead, who chief cook at the nomi-
nation of Mr. Pool for Governor, opposed the
amendment against it to the last, and try
ing to cripple it with amendments. But Gov
Ellis did not oppose it. The charge is untrue, We
care not who makes it.
