For a free gov ernment of laws, and not of men; to prevent the rights of property and per son from falling into untrustworthy ana umrienaiy lianas. At one time kingly oppression sought to take from them their rights and lib erties by force, to-day you are solicited and tempted by personal and partizan seihshness, and undermined rather than openly overthrown. lhere is ever a struggle of forces go ing on in society between those that would destroy and those that would preserve it. beinsnness and cor ruption are all the time making com binations with ignorance and credulity to obtain public power for other than public uses. Tha form in which robbery is accom plished makes no difference to the vic tim ; ruin can be brought upon a coun try by false interpretations of its con stitution, or under the pretences of leg islation ; while a corrupt and vicious ad ministration of any government, how ever wise its form, will wholly defeat and overthrow the real objects of all government the care of property and person as completely as a hostile army sword in hand, could openly do the evil work. And when it becomes plain that the public welfare ia imperilled, a true man's duty is the same under all cir- cumstauces, simply to do his best to save and protect it, and in performing this duty the class of virtues brought into exercise are always the same. If open, violent war assails his gov ernment and people, he will not only reject all offers of rank and pay, ail temptations of the false ambitions which the enemy may offer but he will go at once into the service oi his coun try in just such capacity as he is en abled, but serve her he will, either in high rank, or in the ranks. If public safety, and the Honor and welfare of his State is assailed by a po litical foe; if profligate self -seekers combine to capture the legislative and other powers, and the weapons employ ed are those of corruption, combined with ignorance and vice, he must shun all such contaminating alliances, and spurn all offers of power, place or for tune to be acquired at the Cost of the welfare and reputation of his State and the respect of the good and true. He must steadily maintain the organ ization which he believes will guard the public councils from the presence and intrusion of the venal, ignorant and in competent; he will sedulously maintain upon the bench, learning, purity and justice, and bestow executive power In honest, intelligent ana trustworthy hands. By his vote and efforts he will Drove himself the unselfish, steady sol dier of North Carolina, on the same principles and under as many trials and difficulties as the men of Mecklenburg of 1775. There is courage especially required at this day in the United States of as high a type as any hitherto exhibited in our history. I mean the courage to pro claim and maintain opinion and con viction upon public questions, which are in opposition to temporary puonc clamor. To stand by the truth until the sober second thought of the people shall come as it always ultimately will to its rescue.

They were hard-working and mdus rioufl, because the struggle for subsis tence compelled them to be so; they were temperate, hardy, resolute ana waichful, because without such quali ties they could not have sustained themselves in a remote and wild coun try, in the neighborhood of superior numbers of savage and crafty Indians. And underlying all, they eame here to their life-work, with intellects educated to the comprehension of the true prin ciples t civil and religious liberty, ana the-. Tv-ie animated by convictions whicn were based in the conscience, and illuminated by the rays of a divine- lyrevealed religion, under sucn sanc- uods and conditions, moral ana intel lectual, they laid the foundations of this great State. And has human nature changed? live the dangers and temptations fiich beset it. all passed away f and iave we the inheritors of a fertile soil, discovered by their industry and valor from savagery, and of institutes of free government framed and established by their learning and ability, and sealed nth their life blood: Have we nothing more to do than to receive and to en joy? Is our lot one of easy, placid enjoy ment V Is there no longer need for the exhi bition and active practice of the same virtues that founded and established freeeovernment, in order to continue and maintain it? Are truthfulness, courage, fortitude, self-denial, industry and unselfishness become obsolete and useless, in our new conditious of modern life, with all its luxuries, comforts conveniences, and countleBs inventions V In other words, has human nature changed, or have its manifestations only changed in name, in form, in number, but not in its reality. Jiy fellow countrymen I Uur work f to-day calls upon us to be just as vatcniul, just as prompt, just as reso- u-e in defence of our rights and our Welfare, as it did the men in homespun 'no, in this town of Charlotte and unty of Mecklenburg, assembled to Sake their solemn, single handed de lation of independence of tyranny tid misrule 107 years ago. It is true tha manual labor which hen attached itself in a greater or less ree to every station in society has. pona to the present requirements ot pociety as now organized t .it is true the farmer can now go to 13 distant fiftlrl without hi riflw anH ree from danger of the arrow or bul let of his Indian foe. But because his Agricultural machinery surrounds him, is hi8 need of watchful industry the less, to enable him nrofitablv to com- Pete with his rivals in the market?

Tne Fedeaal constitution is our Mag I na Charta; it contains every principle for which freedom struggled in Eng land, through the nine centuries, from the Saxon Alfred to George the Third ; and additional checks upon governmen tal power, and safeguards to individu als and minorities were placed in its provisions. The Mecklenburg Declaration was the first clarion note heard among the mountains of North Carolina, whose echo reverberated through the Provin cial Congress of this State, until it reached the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, and ended only in the Federal Constitution of the great Union of States. "Cervantes smiled 8paln's Chivalry away." said Lord Byron ; and Burke nearly a century ago despairingly declared: 'The age of chivalry has gone: that of sophists, economists, and calcula tors lias succeeded. As an institution this is true, but as to that which created chivalry, it is surely untrue, and never will be true; for it was not the helmet, nor shield, nor corselet, nor lance, nor spurs, that made the true knight; but the brave heart, the dauntless will, the unselfish and gentle soul that lay within his breast. The plain attire, the homespun gaib may cover nay does cover to-aay, an that made chivalry, first the precursor, j and at last the hand-maid of religion and law. . Sir Walter Raleigh landed his expe ditions on your shores three hundred years ago. and his name is linked with the capital of the State whose soil he was destined never to see. Historv tells us how he gained favor with the Virgin Queen of England by casting his costly and embroidered mantle before her in tho mire, that she .might pass dry shod. In this lofty courtesy he typihea trie aignity or -unhesitating service to his lawful ruler. And because we are citizens of a Re public, is there nothing to which we owe unhesitating service.' is mere I no cause iu which we would as willing ly throw down our cloak, and it need be go down with it ? Is not Queen Car olina as worthy of devotion as Queen Elizabeth? and are not the men of Car olina as devoted to the cause of her safety, honor and welfare? Filled with such a sentiment, now infinitely poor and small become the tradings and hucksterings of patronage and petty politics! How much better and nobler and wiser to be true to the fortunes of a grand old commonwealth, than to see them endangered at the be hests of selfish and self-seeking person al ambition. Our dangers to-day are not from a savage and treacnerous ioe, wnose seal ping-knife and keen arrow were l"the dread of our forefathers ; nor a tyr i anical ruler across the sea in all the big ' otry of power, seeking to oppress and strangle freedom. But evils and dan gers arising from a false arrangement of the forces of our government threat en us on every side. We must recur to me iunaamentai principles upon which liberty was founded, and which must be revived, if liberty is to be maintained. It was in the balance of its forces that the equilibrium of free society was found. Each force needs recognition and in the distribution and diffusion of power safety was found. Observing this rule powers were not suffered to accu mulate.

Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock, John Rohey, who has been employed at Wilkes' foundry, was sitting in the win dow of the top story in the building on College street occupied by Torrence & Bailey, when he lost hi3 balance and tumbled out. The window was on the rear side of the house and to the ground was a fall of seventy feet. Rohey struck on the platform which runs, along the first story of the house and crashed through it to the ground, entirely de molishing a section of the platform about six feet long. He was picked up and laid out in a room, dead, to all ap pearances, but when Dr. O'Donoghue arrived and made an examination, he pronounced the man to be living. A severe concussion of the brain and sev eral fractures about the skull, was the extent of his injuries. In the course of an hour or two the man could talk, and showed some signs of improvement. The doctor thinks the man will get well. 115) Jl 0 -:o:- fktwearoMSwk we ire How it Was About the Depots. It was a wonderful sight to see the Carolina Central trains unloading at the depot yesterday morning. The train from the West was composed of ten coaches, jam full and with many on the tops of the cars and swinging to the platforms. The train from the East was made up of sixteen coaches, packed so full that the half of a man was sticking .out of every window. After embarking and starting up town the crowd made a line on each side of the street reaching from the depot to the Central hotel. The conductors of the two trains say that the number they brought in was 1,600. The Richmond and Danville train which came in at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, brought 800 visitors,' and the StatesYille train brought over six hundred, while the C. Carolina and Augusta, and Air-Line trains brought ten and twelve coaches full. . There was a terrible jam at the depots last evening, of people endeav oring to get aboard the departing trains, but many, perhaps half of the crowd, had to wait over in the city, being una ble to find room on the cars.
