for not paying its bonds that were put upon

North Carolina, it is difficult 10 sec ho",

1t matters not whether the statute was
passed by bribery or not; it is sufficient for
him TO lind it upon the statute book with
out iiouiring by what means the Ie9i5la-
ture was induced TO put it there. Nor is
the l;ordnUlder responsible for nslssappli-
cation or waste Of the proceeds OF the sale
Of these bonds. Unless the Legislature
and Convention that created our public
deGt can be shown to have been unlawful
assenblages, unauthorized to act f4r the
people OF North Carolina, it Will be dltfi-
cult TO maintain a strictly legal defence
against The demand for The payment OF
that debt.
we repeat, that we are opposed, Tor the
present, to any scheme involving an imme-
! diate increase of taxation for the payment
/ of the interest on the public debt or any part

not, in their present poyeity-siricken con-

willing to accept any proposition that does
not provide for increased taxation. L
seems to us, therefore, the better plan L
wait until the Constitutional Amendment
Shall have been made, and until tie acton

meant that Col. McKOy should give his in

we learn frosn The Wilmington JOURNAL
that Daniel l.. Russell, JudSc, and Edward
CantweII, Solicitor, having failed III their
Joint effort to get tie Grand Jury OF New
Hanover to find ''true biu' against That
journal for libel on one Hugh l.. Bond, in
calling said Bond a judicial scoundrel, made
another trial Of it at Dupln, and met with
a second defeat. We suggest that they
now get Brother Starbucl, of the United
States Court, to try the matter before one
of his Grand Juries. If they are selected,
as wa have heard FROM Radical authority,
that they have been, solely on account OF
their s.I0yalty'' to the Radical party, 1t is
! possible tsat the bill would stick.
| We do not believe in the licentiOuSness
/ Of the press, but in its perfect liberty to use
! all proper means for banishing rascallsy
| from the high places Of the land. Every
| ho3v knows that some men who wear the
ermine are unmitigated villains, and some
men who prosecute as States Attorneys are
net one whit better. We really cannot see
how It is any more liHcllous fora Democratic
call Radical "scoundrcl" than for the
editor Of a Radical sheet to speak OF Demo
crats 9s sstraitors The only difference Is
that one Ct the allegations is the truth and
rossibly our living friends believe in the
maxim, "the greater the truth, the greater
the libel"
We have great respect for the office Of a
.!udca, however much contempt we may
, feel for the occupant. Now, according to
, the theory upon which Cantwell and Rus
sell are acting, we are to close our mouths
forever in regard to the character Of men
occurring public places, unless we indulge
; in slavish panegyric, abholrent to the pride
Of a decent American citizen. One thing

Now. we are sure that the peiSioten

even our \. c. Medicinal Company bill is
