conyersant; for upon the character of
those principles, and upon their prudent
and timely application, the lives Of my
riads and the happiness of millions very
largely depend. Wars, mutinies, fa-
mines, and countless lesser disasters may
be, as they have been, consequent upon
political mistakes which ordinary atten-
ton, common-sense, and good feeling on
the part of the Imperial Parliament
might prevent. India presents one Of the
finest fields in the world for good states
manship, and we owe it TO her that she
shall not suffer from our neglect. Some
thing has been done of late years in dis
charge of that onerous obligation. Some
thing considerable is being done at this
moment. But, taking into account the
fact that the Government of India stands
to its subjects in the relation of a land
lord to his tenants, and bearing in mind
the splendid opportunities which abso-
Lutte power puts within its reach, we
must confess that periodical famines bear
reproachful testimony to its remissness
and enforce the necessity Of turning over
a new leaf.
A FRENCH VIEW OF ENGLISH BRIBERY.
M. Provost Paradol has written an
amusing squib on the revelations made
from the inquiries into the Totnes and
Yarmouth elections. He considers that
venality would be increased by the ex-
tension Of the franchise, but his chief
object, as usual, is to attack the Govern
ment out of anything that comes TO hand.
IF lo,oA4o - - oira fIo nrf 90 f.s.o
feche de tout bois-to make an arrow out
of any wood that he can find. "The
English public" he says, "does not
practise the precept of washing its dirty
linen en- famille, and does not consider
that the honour of the country makes it
desirable carefully to hush up any dis
agreeable facts which it's enemies could
misuse TO depreciate its institutions.
Therefore, without the least mystery, it
places under the eyes of the whole world
the sad picture of elections such as those
of Totnes and Yarmouth. For these
small boroughs it seems that a contested
election is a sort of vivitying dew-a kind
of mama fallen from heaven. The only
problem is to discover two candidates
resolved to carry the seat, for if there be
not a severe struggle the clector can
make nothing by the election. The
friends of the town-good patriots in a
local point Of vi w-therefore set TO work
to find out rich and determined candi-
dates. They find them without much
difficulty among those manufacturers and
tradesmen who, having made their for
tune, desire to acquire a Parliamentary
statms. Candidates of such excellent dis
position prepare for an election as for a
commercial venture they collect their
funds and hold themselves ready to car
ry the day by the sheer weight of their
purse. But either side hesltates to begin,
for the ordinary argument adduced to
excuse the transactions is that the adver-
sary was the first to bride. and that in
self-defence it was necessary to follow his
! example. In any way the struggle is

The Broken Atlantic cable Voices
from the Sea.

The London Spectator tells the following
singular and most interesting story:
might and day fora wholeyear, sn:electri,,
clan has always been on duty watching the
tiny ray Of light through which the signals
are given, and twice every dry the wholer
length of wire--one thousand two hundred
and forty miles, has been testel for conduc.
tivity and insulation. y The object,
Of observing the ray of light was of course
not any expectation of q message, but SYM
ply to keep an accurate.record Of the condi-
tion of the wire. Sometimes indeed wild in
coherent messages from the deep did come,
but these were merely the results of magnetic
storms and earth currents, which detected
the galyenometer rapidly, and spelt the
most extraordinary words and sometimes
even sentences Of nonsense, upon the
graduated scale before the mirror. Sudden
ly last Saturday morning, ct six O'Clock,
while the light was being watched by Mr..
May, he observed Q peculiar indication about
it which showed at once to his experienced
eye that message was at hand. In q few
minutes afterward the unsteady Pickering
was changed to cOherency, if we may use
such term, and at once the cable began TO
speak, to transmit, that is at regular inter-
walls, the appointed signals which indicated
human purpose and method at the other end
instead of the hurried signs, broken speech
and inarticulate cries Of the still illiterats
Atlantic. After the long interval in which
it had brought US nothing but the moody
and often delirious, mutterings Of the sea,
stammering over it's alphabet in vain, tine
words " Canning to Glass /" must have SEEM

high-fever patient, when the rawlings have
ceased and his consciousness returns

Words of Warming.

If we were selfish and ambitious, and look
ed exclusively to our own interests, we should
trim our sails in this crisis and float with the
current. The excitement against the North
is greater here at this time than it was in
1860. We breasted the excitement then,
and we intend to do it now. We do it be-
cause we love our country, because we de-
plore sectional feeling, and because we would
save our fellow-citizens, if possible, from
still further and greater calamities.
We warned thepeople, in 1860, that seces-
sion would lead to war; that war would re-
suit in the subjugarion and devastation of
the State, and in the emancipation of the
slaves.
We warned them, in 1868, that if they did
not hold State Convention and take steps
to arrest the war, and return to the Union,
all the evils we had predicted would soon be
upon them.
We warned them, in 1866, that if they did
not carry out the Presidents plan cheerfully
and in good faith, that plan would fail,
and that further and more oppressive meas
ures would be imposed upon them.
And We now warn them, finally, that if
they reject the Congressional plan, which is
in substance the Presidents plan, they will
be forced to submit to reorganization of
the State government, to the confscation of
the property of leading rebels, to executions
fol treason, and to negro suffrage. It is be-
cause zoe deprecate these coils that zoe gice this
earning. "a prudent man forseeth the evil
and hideth himself, but fools pass on and are
punished"
May kind Providence avert these evils
from our unhappy country But if they
should come, remember that our skirts are
clear. We have done our duty. We have
done it in the face of opposition and excite
ment. When negro suffrage comes, as it sciu,
If these earnings are not regarded, let no
man say that we are to blame for it. If Mr..
Davis and other leading rebels should be
hanged, and if property should be confisca-
ted, the whole State will bear witness that
we labored to prevent it. Our skirts are
clear

which, in all probability, will pass much
more stringent law upon that subject.
also vastly prefer the restrictions upon
office-holders, about which the secession or
gans clamor SO much, to more general pro-
scription, with the confiscation of our lands.
of which there is great danger, should the
proposed amendment be rejected.
The argument in favor of immediate rep
resentation in Congress cannot be answered.
As well might General be expected to re-
sist well-appointed army, or storm
stronghold without soldiers, as for our in
terests in Congress to be defended until our
members shall have been admitted. And as
President johnson and Secretary Seward. as
well as the Congress, have repeatedly declar
ed the test-oath to be prerequisite condi-
ton of admission, the people ought to in
vite all our members elect who cannot COM
ply with the required condition, to retire,
and let others who can comply be elected,

Mr.. Moore,s Letter.
partnent.

We copy to-day, from the Wilson Caro-
zinian, short but powerful letter, addressed
by Hon. B. F. Moore to Richard Short,
ESQ.,, of Nash, on the subject Of repudia-
ton. This letter is worthy of Mr.. Moore's
head, and of his heart, as that OF an honest
man. We lost all but our honor as people
in the late struggle, and in the name of all
that is sacred let US preserve that. While
every indulgence and forbearance should
be shown in the collection of debts, let us
save our good old State at all hazards from
the. shame of Reputation. But it is popu-
lar, is it, to repudiate2 Well, what of it 2
Popularity based on dishonest principles is
not worth having. That is our judgment.
RALEIGH, September II, 1856.
Mr. RICHARD SHORT:
Dear Sir II have received yours, asking my
"opinion, in few words, whether private debts
can be repudiated or not ?'
am greatly surprised that it is deemed neces-
sary to ask this question after national exis-
tence ofnearly eighty years under the Constitu-
ton of the United States, one clause OF which de-
cares that " no State shall pass any law impair
ing the obligation of contracts. /"
Now, every man is bound to support that Con-
stitution, and every sentence Of it. And every
person. who may become an officer of the State
or member of the Legislature, is compelled, as
necessary qualification, before taking his seat,
to swear that he will support said Constitution,
which he cannot do and will not do. it he shall
pass, or try to pass, any law impairing the obliga-
ton of contracts. Every law which annuls con-
tract or re pudiates it, impairs the obligation OF
contract and is therefore unconstitutional and
void. Every man who votes for it commits per
jury and lifts his hand against the majesty and
honor ofhis country.
Surely, sir, no man in our country would, ifhe
could, SO dishonor himself or his State as to in
yite all men to break their faith each with the 9th
er, and afix stigma on the name OF North Caro-
lima, which no time may efface God forbid that
my eyes should ever behold this disgrace upon the
sold North State" Such a condition would
place her lower than any people of whom we have
any account.
