States' Rights. ' RaloiKh News and Obaerrer. The fourth of July has just past, and we are reminded by its recur rence that theie are seasons for re-t flections on the principles of gov ernment as well as seasons for work and making a livelihood. The re turn of lndependance Day recalls its origin anu brings to mind the fact that onco the people of this land lived as subjects of a king; that their form of government was a monarchy; that thev acknowledged ranKs in socieiy; allowing to some men the peculiar privileges of beinc a titled aristocracy. Hero among us were Lords, Earls and Dukes Sir . John Smith Sir William Jones I These were the lesser lights that sparkled in the more brilliant radiance of the throne. And shall not history repeat itself? Shall what has been never be again ? Shall there not arise a ona man power, sustained and supported by princes and potentates an aristoc racy a peculiar class of powerful men, controlling the vast multitude of subjects ? Against this the Declaration of Independence is a perpetual protest. It enunciates the American doctrine of the equality of men Jn dethrone ment of monarchs aud -in annihila tion of aristocrats. Class distinc tions are abolished by that iminois tal paper adopted 'as a declaration of the rights of the people in Amer ica, and the equality of merf is an nounccd as the fundamental Amer ican principle. But although an nounced and ordained and enforced. how shall it be constantly maintain ear the men who proclaimed to the world their manhood the fath ers in Israel, who first blazoned the immortal truths of human rights, after making good their title' to freedom, set up a form .of govern ment winch has challenged the ad miration of the world for Jts wis dom and perfect adaptibility to the needs of a free people. The3e men fought for seven years beneath the shadow of the gallows, and in the struggle experienced sufferings, and deprivations that would now appal us. - o them Ireedom fromthe tyranny-of a king, toetfom from the tyranny of prHtces and of lords and aristocracies were so dear and pricclessfcfat no suffering or peri couldstay them from their endeav- rs. Having won-their liberty they proposed to preserve it and' to per petuate it to the remotest posterity. It was with this view that they formulated political principles which were made the basis of their complex system of government. So long as we do not depart from these principles, our liberties will be safe so long as we maintain their system of government, the ireedom the old patriots 'won will be perpetuated. The corner stone of that admirable system which they devised was States' R'ghts the sovereignty o the different states; the right of the people of each state to govern them selves free from the interference and dictation of any people beyond the limits of that particular com muhity. For some purposes of government common to all of the states, a Fed eral administration was instituted and to it was committed the ful charge of some particular specified objects but matters purely loca were left to the absolute control and sovereign dominion of the . states themselves. But the Federal gov ernment guaranteed to each state a republican form of government; that is, notwithstanding the sover eignty of the states no state was to be permitted to return to the old monarchial form of government and set- up a king, for that would be o menace to the republican doc trine of Aunerica. Were it not for that special guarantee, the people of KT York might abolish their pres ent constitution and have their prisma and aristocracy to-morrow'; and the different states of this Union might have a many various sorts of local government as "the states that form the German Empire.'"-'"' " - ' But those wise patriots of a cen tury ago guarded against such a re sult. They builded most wisely. They made each state separate as t&e bricks of a building bat bound them together with the strongest cement. Their work was not mere ly, suited for their own time, but . is most admirably ' adapted : for. the great changes which were in the womb of the future. And so we perceive more clearly, as each year passes the greater necessity of pre serving intact ths system they crea ted. In their way there was no 'great difference petween the several colonies none was so strong lhat it could conquer and bold in sub jection any other colony. Now a greater disparity is observable. In another life-time still greater dif ferences will arise. The child born to-day will lire to see New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio and other great states each containing a population of twenty millions of people ! Wero it not for the con stitution of the United States, the great commonwealths of the Union would speedily absorb the smaller states; wipe the out of xejsietence, partition them as Poland was. por tioned; and hold them in subjection as Ireland is held m' subjection to day. Were i t not for the American; principle of the sovereignty of each: state, ine smaller communities would fall under the absolute do minion of the more powerful atatea of the Union and thpir TwirJft would be reduced to political vas salage. Looking into the future, not far distant, we see that the preserva tion of the Constitution on the fun damental principles on which it is based, is the only safeguard for the happiness and freedom of the peo ple, and that StatesMiights is the corner stone which must be treas ured more and more as each decade rolls by and the influences that hrcaten , the subversion of - the American system become more and more dangerous J Uednction of the Public Debt for June Other Financial Matters.

Duke, of Durham, bought 50,000 pounds of-tobacco in Danville last Tuesday. ... W.-Duke' Sons Co. , shipped nearly -7,000,000 cigarettes last week and worked only five daj-s. . Eight car loads of the geirume Bull smoking tobacco left the depot on xnursaay- last amounting to about 100,000 pounds'. The' Way nesville. News says that the farmers in Haywood county are taking special pains with their to bacco this year, and it is thought that an excellent grade of tobacco will bo produced. .,. The Durham Recorder thinks that the action of the Mayor of Charlotte in prohibiting the sale of Duke's cigarettes containing pic tures will cause the firm - to receive thousands of dollars worth of free advertising. The sales of leaf tobacco in the Danville market for " June , were 3,702,716 ponnds, at an average of $9,11 per hundred. The total sales to July 1st since October are 21,- 070.41G pounds at an average of 18.66. The sales for the same time last year were 30,052,886 lbs. The State: Tobacco Convention will meet at Morehead City on August 17. - The following gentle men .form a committee on trans portation and accommodationjs : P. F., Farson, " llaleigh; ; E. J. Parrisb, Durham ; W. E. Beyill, G reen sboro j "'J A. Porter, : Ashe fville r J. E. Gilmer, Winston. ' It has been remarked that the young tobacco plants now in the fields.are very small for the season and seem to grow off very slowly. This is true,-but a fact that is easily accounted for when we 'remember that there is comparatively a small amount of fertilizer used this year, and hence 'the young plants are rather backward in growth. But aside from this we are glad to note that the crop now in the fields has a healthy and hardy appearance. The seasons have been favorable and the young plants look well.. The farmers are stimulated about the high prices now being paid for tobacco and will make all they can out of their small acreage. In fact if the rise in price" had come a few months sooner the acreage this year would have been very heavy. But as it is the. inevitable is left to the planter to make the most he can out of his small crop and as a consequence it is reasonable 'to be lieve that the 1887 plantinjg . will give us the 'finest! quality .pi leaf that has been seen on oar markets for years.
