: The recent address issued by the

few of the leading papers of the State
make any effort to copy it. This, GER

Proving too Muca.

Wehaye been frequently entertain
ed by argument in Democratic papers
proving that the Thirty-nihth Com
gress is not Constitutional body, and
consequently ought not to be recog-
nized by the President as the Congress
of the United States. Few of those
papers, however, have had the bold
dess to follow the argument to it's
logical conclusion. This has been
done for them by COLORADO JEwETT,
who memorializes Congress to declare
HANNIBAL HAMLIN President of the
United States He argues that the
second election of Mr. LINCOLN was
not Constitutional, as eleven of the
States did not appoint electors, and
that Mr.. HAMLIN holds over, as Mr..
LINCOLN would have done, in the
absence of a legal successor. We
have no doubt that the Democracy are
of the opinion tha COLORADO makes
too big boo for so small colt.

ULTURE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Thousands of Union men have left North Carolina
in the last year, emigrating to the Northwestern
States. We have received numerous letters abiding
to this fact and of the papers of the State are
now discussing the to prevent exodus so in
furious to its prosperity. The persecution to which
Union men are exposed is doubtless the main
cause of this depopulaton, and there seems to
be general belief that Congress will fail
to protect the Union men in the South,
no matter how large the Republican majorities may
be in the Northern States. This fear is assigned as
the reason why the Quaker families of which thers
are many in the State prefer TO seek their fortune az
once in Indiana and Michigan, rather than wait IN
certain protection in North Carolina. We have no
doubt that Congress will ultimately enforce the rights
of every loyal man, black or white throughout the
entire South yet we cannot wonder at the doubts Of
the prosecuted loyalists.
But there is another main cause Of this exodus The
large landhoders refuse to sell their property and
thousands of persons who wish to cultivate small
farms are unable to purchase good land. There are
hundreds of thousands of wasted by this sys-
TEN. The farmers-not the wealthy planters
are compelled to seek other States where the
subdivision of land among the many places
agriculture upon a natural basis. Intelligent
men are urging upon the Legislature tho
necessity of REFORM aud ask direct remedy, re-
vision of the Revenue laws. In North Carolina the
taxes on lands have long been so trifing that the
planters could afford to keep immense tracts uneult.
waited, or cultivated imperfectly. An increase OF
taxes would compel their sale, and thus insure their
cultivation There can never be true prosperity in
North Carolina until every farmer has an opportunity
of securing small farm and raising the great staples
of the State. Since the abolition of Slavery this ID
more important, for an agricultural oligarchy can
never be profitable unless it is maintained by unpaid

EDUCATION AND THE FREEDMEN.

A controversy is on foot between certain Freed
mems Aid Societies and certain Evangelical Associa-
tons, in regard to the kind Of education that should
be given to the blacks of the South, the former In
clinng to the opinion that black children, small and
great, should be instructed precisely as their own
white children are instructed in the elements prac-
teal knowledge, by teachers competent to carry on
the schools the latter insisting that none but persons
of firm orthodox standing, good at preaching iaelle
in exhortatOn competent in doctrine and strong IN
PRAYER are to be trusted to do the work. At first
sight these latter will appear at disadvantage II
only from the circumstance that theirs is the narrower
ground and that they expose themselves to the odlous
charge of using great humane opportunity for secta-
rian purposes. We bring no such accusation against
them, for we know that the sectarian spirit becomes
so habitual in religious bodies, that the animus OF
it is not consciously present in motives Of action and
is even most vehemently denied when 1t IS most Oh
fensively prominent No doubt the advocates OF the
evangelical policy believe themselves to be arguing
broad question on the broadest principles. But it Is
singular that they should not perceive how their rea
soning bears fatally against our most enlightened
principles of common school education, and would, II
adopted prove utterly subversiye Of it. The efforts oil
more than a generation OF earnest men nave been
spent in emancpating the public mind from the tram
mes Of this evangelical logic, and in rescuing eduea-
ton from the hands Of regionists Those efforts
have been successful in Massachusetts, where on the
whole, the common school system is brought to the
greatest perfection and in New York where the jeal'
ousy Of religious interference is even greater than in
New.England Here the teachers are chosen for their
can IN nj virt mt on oil a.
tional position, their zeal in faith, or the
fsryor of their picty; they afG charged to con-
fine themselves to secular teaching and are held to
account if the minimum Of religious exercise is e1-
ceeded in the school. All are satisfied with this ar
rangement. The public content, because they
enjoy the full benefit of the teachers knowledge and
skill without oflense to their religious prejudces
whatever they may be- The teachers are content be-
cause they are at liberty to devote themselves to the
one thing for which they were educated, and in which
