Do any of our leadens remember j the rise of Mr. Hale? A good type j of an honest enlerpring man. We. are told that he was once a poor ap j.rentice boy in a printing office of this town. After learning his trade, 1 having great energy, be bargained for the office in which he worked, i succeeded in paying tor it, awl then ran an office of his own. Can any one make any estimate of the .slue' this man has Wen to his country? i Are there not mote such per hoys; in this town? Then give them all j the encouragement you can.

Let them have all the opportunities and encourage- j meat Mcessary to make them bouetl, The Altline for March (No. 15" of the current series) is at hand, quite as heavily freighted with good things as usual (which is saying much), aud with some peculiarities demanding special attention. Artistically, it has many features of the first excellence. The first engraving is. “Jibe New Doll,” —admirably well. done, . blit one of those things which seem dike a waste of fine labor, imtil one knows that it is a portrait of the daughter of the French writer, Edmond About by John S. Davis: knowing which, the pictures assumes a marked inter est. “Evening, Pigeon Gove; Mass.,” by Kruseman van Ellen, is & full-page picture, with good feeling and exe cution. Two charming smaller pict ures follow—“ The Modern ' Adam and Eve,” and “The Fisherman’s Daughters,” both telling their stories to perfection. Then we have anoth er pair of companion pictures? “Con fession,” and “The Stillness of Death both worth a world ot study for their true conception and faithful ex ecution. Then follow “Happy Hours of Childhood,” scarcely equal to the high Altline average; and 'soother full-page picture by Mr. Davis, “Dews of Evening,” which may be set down as one on f the most' grace ful things in drawing, and-one of the most splendid successes in wood (en graving, anywhere published witjhin a long period. Three excellent views of Hereford Cathedral (west of Eng land) conclude the art-contents of the number: a list of true opulence in illustration, and one appealing to all tastes in its siugular variety. ; Literally, the number is a trifle less various, but no whit less merito rious; this number, like the two pre ceding, proving both determination and ability to make The Aldine a high-class magazine as well as a rich art-repository. It is especially rich in poetry —all the specimens fine, and one notably- so. “Love and Skating,” by F. A. Hlaisdcll, some-, what long, tells a seasonable story very prettily. “Imprisoned,” by Mrs. Elizabeth Akers Allen, is in that writer’s best vein, but far too sa'd for any pleasant reading. “Sorrowful Work,” by Kenton Murray, ia of the Bret Ilarte and John Hay order,and worthy of those masters. But jtlte gem of the number, poetically, is ‘’A Spnr to Pegasus,” by Bertha Wythe, a name new to the literary world, but scarcely destined to remain no. This being taken as a test of power. It reads like an emanation from George Herbert or some other sweet i English classic, and yet is instinct ' with the spirit of to-day. For its nobie philosophy of heroism, it should go round the woild. In prose, The Aldine has a somewhat long but very well-managed translation, “The Flute-Tortures of Raphael Mengs,” by A. B. Neilson; “Harry’s Waif,” a second story from thS fresh aud play ful pen, with a dash of sadness be neath, of that new Norse writer, Eiin ua Sijierne Jarlsen, which gave us . the "Second Lorlei” in the January j number; “David Garrick," an inter- I csling but discursive and badly group; ed sketch of the great player, by Joseph Watson; an exciting continu-’ ation of the serial, “Lost Lillian Bra cy,” which apparently draws near to, its end; papers (in the various edito-! rial departments) on Hereford Cathe dral, the Wagner Fever’ Wood-Eif gravlng, Late Books, etc. We have an imitation that with the coming number, The Aldine in tends to step to the front in the in terests ol the Centennial, by com mencing the publication of a revolu tionary story of rare power and with many startling revelations, claiming to have been kept back for the past forty years, after coming from the lips of the actors in that wondrous drama, —as also by supplying illus trations of the great events of the conflict, in the first style of Aldine art. If this proves true, there is no hazard in saying that The Aldine will therein be opening a mine of in crpastd popularity aud prosperity, uot easily measured or calculated; as materials for few new revolutionary stories can possibly exist, aud who will enter the list against this publi cation, in illustrating the leading oc currences of tliat uuforgotten “hun dred years sgo?” The Aldine Company has deter mined to establish an Art Union, similar to the well-known Art Union in England, and distribute its works of art, both sculpture and paintings which are constantly collecting, among its subscribers. Ari premi ums,'valued at $2,500, will be distrib uted among each series of 5,000 sub scribers. Subscription tickets, at $6 each, entitle the holder"'to ‘The Al dine for a year, to the new ; chromo and to a ticket in the distribution of art premiums. The Aldine Compa ny, publishers, No. 58 Maiden Lane, New York City. Tendencies of X>cmo crstic Rule. Much of the difficulty that occurs in the south is occasioned by the un scrupulous disregard oftfie Democ racy for. tho rights of the people. -Wherever they ha»:q obtained con, trol of the legislatures of the south ern states, they have at once con spired together, by thanfouicst means, to oppress those localities where Republicans have undoubted majorities. All remember the trou bles in Virginia, owingto the usurpa tions of the legislature in the govern ment of the eity of Petersburg, and the action of Gov. Kemper is fresh in the recollection of thp political reader. Thus have they legislated in Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas No sooner do they gain the "(ipcond ancy than they use their power to crush out popular government. If is a part of the same plan that impels the legislature of North Carolina to interfere vfith'tbegovern ment of the cities of New Berne and Wilmifigton. The legislature that was elected in 1870 commenced the nefarious work, Jay rearranging the senatorial districts, so that the Republican vote would not carry its full strength. And so they enoroach, step by step, until they have divided, the county of New Hanover, with the avowed purpose of making a new Democratic county. The most outrageous legislation, however, that the democrats have yet been guilty of, is that amending the charter.of Wilmington,.virtually disfranchising, a Jarge , R#;slpliean majority, proposing to give twenty two hundred Republican only one third shave iff the management oi‘ the city gouernment, wbtlq "hundred and seventy five Democrat ic voters we givpn the ,pother to to control the -affairs of the prin ciple town in’-North Grrolina. Mr. Waddell, a Democratic Mejnbwr of Congress, justifies this outrage open ly, in a letter to the Washington Republican, not only uot being a shamed, but seeming to glory in the consummation of the treacher ous plot. r , an Notwithstanding those usurpa tions, all of which arc known and fully understood by the President of the United.. States, southern Demo crats, and their northern dough-face allies, raise a great clamore if. any thing is done to counteract jhese evil designs; and such is the willful ignorance, aud the systematic mis representation of certain northern newspapers, that even northern Re publicans are deceived, and consid er that the southern people are op pressed by the general government. Do the northern people ever con sider how lenient the federal admin istration has been, and' bow ungrate ‘itl southern secessionists are'for this lenity? It is enough to call, atten tion to the fact thnt the next Con. gress’will contain no less than qight y-three ex-Confcderatc officers and soldiera The utmost liberality, his been shown to the defeated rebels; but it is their deliberate purpose, having secured control of many of the southern legislatures, to carry out the same plan in the Congress of the United States. It is uurtjdilou able to suppose that, of these eight y-three ex-Confederatcs, in tho next Congress, any considerable number will be iu favor of the enforcement of the ameudmeuts to the constitu tion, if they are indeed in favor of tho preservation of the American Union.—They only seek the power in the national legislature that they have already obtained in the state legislatures; when they will ffsurp aud destroy, by corrupt legislation, the legitimate power of the people throughout the southern country. The only hope of the country is in the firmness of tho President, who alone stands between the usur pers and tho rights of the people. Unless northern Republicans realize the situation, and apply the remedy the country will be in tno greatest danger.— AT. N. State.' -Debate on the’ (ilena* Resolutions. .On Thursday the 18th inst. in the General Assembly, the. Glenu-Reso lutions were considered, as the spec ial order. They are as follows: Whereas the Republican party of the House of Representatives of the United States, disregarding, the principles upon which our liberties were achieved; and overriding the social rights of the An glo-Saxon race, has enacted a law. where by the two races in this country are comi>elled to associate on terms of per fect equality; and whereas we believe that the"result of this legislation will be to thoroughly and completely break down and demoralize 'the manhood of North Carolina; and whereas it is a du ty which every man, irrespective of his color or his connection in lite. owes {his country, his race and hie family to con demn this reckless effort ol the Repute* lecan party to perpetuate its power! by the utter destruction of the whole ot the South: therefore, Beeulvcd, That we, the General As sembly of North Carolina, do appeal to every map within tlie borders .of Our State to protest against this unjust" and ungenerous treatment of our people. And especially do we beseech our bro thers of the white race, who have here tofore adhered to the Republican party, to sever their connection with the same for the ieson that in this hour of ex treme peril to .our- manhood all mere questions of party should lie forever sunk in tilts great issue for the protec tion of our morn Is! .our social rights and oiir race. Mr.’ BARNETT, of Pterion, said: Mr Speaker: It is with einbar rassment that I attempt to,speak up on the resolutions offered by my friendfrom Yadkin, because,Jim says, being moved by conscience alone |ie offers these resolutions. Admit, sir, that conscience atone is his guide; to my mind it is a wonderfully elastic conscience. The .same. conscience had tLo Civil Rights bill to ileal with during tho campaign of lasi summer, and my friend tells us he repudia ted the.measure then,'and denounced it from every slump in Yadkin coun ty. That is ho boubt true, not .only of the representative i'ropi Yadkin but of every other native white re publican iu the field during tho last canvas. And further,, sir, the . position cf tli Civil Rights bill their was identi cal-with its present position—siispen ded between tho two houses of Con gress, and much more offensive then than now.—The most objectionable feature has been removed from this bill namely, the school-clause, church es and cemeteries. Then, sir, is it not strange that this great light should have fallen so suddenly upon the vision of my young friend, from Yadkin? He tells us he was a re; publican then—that he is a republi can now. Strange republicanism, when we consider that not a single plank in the republican platform has been removed; that the same princi ples that have always actuated that party, govern it still. Aud now at this late day, when a mere side issue —my friend from Yadkiu, aud also my friend Mr. Foote, from Wilkes, appeal to every white republican in North Carolina to sever his connec tion with the party, and stand isidej by side with a party which has! fought, step by step, and with dead-, ly hatred, every inch of ground now occupied by the republican party! . Mr. Speaker, if the Civil Rights bill, in its modified form had passed congress—nay I will go further—if the Civil Rights bill iu its original shape had passed congress, even this with all its objectionable features, would not be a sufficient cause for me, or any other true republican, to sever his connection with the party of the Union—the great party of progress and reform. My allegiance to the Union, uud fealty to my coun try are paramount to all other con siderations. , The representatives from Yadkin and Wilkes say this is an hour of ex treme peril to our manhood, that our race and social rights arc in jeopard dy! llow so, Mr. Speaker? They have omitted to tell us. These resolutions might have come with some degree of consistency from the democratic side of the house but being presented by one profess iug to be a republican, their tone is amazing and tbeir presentation sur passes my_ comprehension. My friends, Messrs. Glenn and Foote, occupying seats upon this floor, elected as republicans from' their respective. counties, sitting here, side by side with' colored mem bers—will they tell me how their mauhood is in peril, ortheir morals •Or social relations’are m any more danger now than they were prior to the 6th day of August last, when both professed to be good and true republicans?. .They were both aware that, if elected, they would have to sit here with crlordil men, and they were also aware that by sitting in this hall with colored men, neither their manhood, nor their morals, nor their social relatioiw wqifld.be dis turbed. \ ~ Does it "hot strike us all, Mr. Speaker,.as being peculiarly coward ly in the white men of tills nation, composed,«s itisj of more than 50, OIK),Odd, whites; to say they are allied of being overrun by this. jpbor down-trodden, race of colored men, who Are only pleading for, theti:,rights before the law? .1 regard it .as an iii” sultfo the intell gen.ee aud .courage ol’ the Oifueiissmiv race, to sqy we are ■afraid tirgive t.lii’te poor peopfe a fair And equal chance in the journey of life in what we denominate free this land. r Then, sir," ’let us put avtjay tbiß ; delusive idea of negro suprem acy. 1 consider the agitation of the Civ il Tiights "bill bv congress more greatly lo be deplored by the repub licans of the South. But for its agi tation, the scene in this hall wiuld he" qitivc different,- to-day. " The seats, now occupied by democratic mem bers would be filled By republicans. And 1 will say, sir, that I am ffow, and always have hcc , opposed to the Civil Rights.bill.—Nevertheless, I am candidly of the opinion that it wou|d be better for the south, if con gress would pass the bill, or kill it, and thereby remove the great bone of contention. 1 can see no good in its passage, nor indeed much harm; hut so long as it is pending, it will but serve as food for the democratic party, and help to arouse the pas sions and prejudices of the. more ig noraiii of our soulhenipeople. Mr. Speaker, my friend from Ya<L kin tells hs he is t u eiily-seven years ohl, ; bor'n iu Yadkin county, beneath tile sod of which lie buried his an cestors. lie further;ays that before •lie was old enough to participate ill jmldig. affairs, our country was pre cipitated into a bloody conflict, and that the south came but' of it.J the most humiliated people on earth. Admit it. I, too, Mr. Speaker, am a native b! North Carolina, born and brought up in the county of Person, beneath the sod of which lie; buried my ancestors; and if there is a man on this floor who has cause to love his native home and people, I am that man. They have honored me upon ail occasions, without regard to par ty. It is \ve}t known, here, sir, and also in Person county, that I am free to express my political sentiments— that l conceal nothing; and sir, not withstanding my county is democrat ic, by a majority of more than three hundred, 1 have had the honor ot representing my people, as a known and true republican, in one'" branch or the other of this General Assam-.j biy, every session, but one, since 181)8.! It is true, Mr. .Speaker, as the gen tleman from Yadkin says, that before he was obi enough to participate in public affairs, our country was pre cipitated into a bloody war.- *lt is also true, in my humble op uion, ,{ahd I am sorry to say so,) that the same party plunged onr country into Lioody conflict, at that time, now. stands ready to plunge the dagger to the heart Os the" nation. 11l l3ljl„I, sir, espoused* .the<Sause of Confederacy, .au original seces siouistty Unlike many others, I did uot wait to have stars and bars up on my collar, before entering prom pted by true patriotism, as :I then conceived, shouldered my musket;- aud with forty rounds, marched to \ the front, to do battle for ray coun-! try. Yes, sir, I staked all up on the issue of battle, and when the battle was fought,aud.our cause lost, aud our great captain, Geu. Lee, surrendered-unller the apple-tree at Appomatox Courthouse, I surren dered also; and from that time to the present, I have espoused the cause of the government; and caring not what others may do, as for thy self, so long as 1 have a tongue to speak, or a hand to raise, so help me God, I will be fouml battliug .on the side of tho Union aud thu govermneut.
