The Editor has gone to take a peep
at the Mcnagcrie, now on exhibition
at Raleigh, from which point he ex-
meets to dish out to the readers of the
Southe,ner, such performances of the

entertaining.
His absence will, we hope, prove a
sufficient excuse for any deficiencies
or irregularities iu this issue.

The HaulSalS IN SobSio"S arc pre-
pairing for second assault upon the
Supreme Court. Hitherto they have
been conteut to vent their opposition to
the Executive Department Of the gov.
ernment, but ROY that there is proba-
bility that the supreme Court may pro.
pounce invalid their reconstruction acts,
that august tribunal must be overcome
its power neutralizad and destroyed.
Congress aims at nothing short of the
entire consolidation of all power 10 its
own bands or those whom it supposes
will be the swift and sure instruments of
It's will. BY their two two thirds ma
jority they override Presidential yetoes,
and by their lines of abomiuation, they
hope to destroy the power of the Judi
cial Department. La this they may not
be SO fortunate as they may desire, and
the Supreme Court may yet prove the
defender of the Constitution. But
whatever may be tae event, there is
last appeal to power greater than the
Executive, Jlllcal or Legislative, the
people themselves. Are they ready to
abandon the Constitution Are they
willing to surrender the right of popu.
lar government? Do they see (those
whose hands are yet unmanacled) moth
Ing in the plan Of erecting military
despotsn in the Southern States hos
tile to their own liberty? Can they not
see, that in few years the same power,
which now is absolute 10 the South NAV
usurp andj. destroy for ever their Own
liberties
In good faith the South accepted the
plan of restoration proposed by the
President. She has given up the tight
of secession: she has by constitutional
enactnents secured liberty to ths for
meE slaves; and for near three years
her people have devoted themselves to
the arts Of peace; and no where for tae
same length of time has resistance to
the proper authority of the general
government manifested itself; yet on
the pretence of rcbe llion, We have
standing armies, and against the peace
-gul, quiet population are brought charg-
cs, that they yet hope 10 the future to
make successful resistance.
In name, she is ruled by the Consti-
tuition, while in reality she is denied
every benefit it was intended to secure.
In vais has the President attempted to
secure these benefits to her, and now
when the Supreme Court might pro-
nounce the Infamous acts by which she
is enslaved null and void, Congress
comes forward with bills TO take away
the jurisdiction from the Court. If the
people of the North are true to them
selves this Congress will be the last that
will disgrace the American name by
erecting despotisms in the name and
under the authority of the free constitu-
tion of America With them is the de-
cision for despotism or liberty; they must
decide, whether the white man is yet to
remain the master of government his
genius has erected, or whether a bal
.auce of power is to be given to ignorant
half civilized negroes.

A MEMORY.

One bright memory shines like star
In the sky ofmy spirit forever;
And over my pathway il flashes afar
A radiance :hat perishes never.
One bright memory-only one
And walk by the light of its cleaning ;
1t brightens my days-and when days arc
done
1t shines in the Night DER my dreaming
Ono bright memory golden rays
lllumine the gloom Of my sorrows,
And know thut its lustre will gladden. my
gaze
In the shadows of all my to-morrows.
One bright memory-when am sad
lift up eyes to its shining,
And the clouds pass away; and my spirit
grows glad;
And my heart bushes all its rcpining.
One bright memory--a,l have passed
Back into the shadows forever;
But 1t, far and fair, bright and true to thu
last,
Sheds light that will pass away never,
Shine on-shinc always-Thou star of m,

And when Deaths starless Night gathers
DER me,
Beam brighter than over adown on my gaze
And light the dark valley before ME.
