Slaves were valued at 200,000,000 ; stock &c, t 8150.000,000 ; land 150,000.000. The slaves are gone; a great .deal ot property has been destroyed ; we can safely say that the State emerged from the war worth just half she was when she went into it. The population of .North Carolina is one mil lion, that of England is twenty millions, just twenty times as. much as n'orth Carolina, while j the area is nearly the same. ...England! to-day occupies the samo position to,, the, worla that Koine did two hundred yeard ago. l'ou may take Italy and Venice aod they are about the same size as Norh CaroJUia.

It is not the country that attracts the world, but the il lustrious men it has given birth to. Go to Eu rope and what is it that gives a name to. this continent ? The name of-Washiogtoo. This State needs education. Its people are impoverished.- If all the property of the State was divided equally to every person in the State each one's share would be $250. If, the. prop erty of the. United States was divided equally to every person, each one's share would be S214. If the educated men of North Carolina will! make use of talents that their God las L'lVCn them and stamp their image upon the uneduca ted as He has stamped his image upon them, there will soon be no illiterate people in this State. Let each one that is educated be a Mis sionary here at home, and this State will grow and prosper and become densely populated like the countries in Europe. The one. great object of the Governor was to show to his audience, that North Carolina is worth in. lands and property 8250,000,000. The white and colored polls number about one hun dred thousand. These arc., the sources from which the Legislature must look for taxation. The above is a very brief sketch such as we could take with our pencil while listening to, the remarks of the Governor.

INTERVIEW BETWEEN, THE PRESI DENT AND A NEGRO DELEGATION, i r - A body of negroes, headed by Fred. Douglass, ; ,w ..... .in . jon Uedttcsday thejthirjst, visited 4tjic White I "ousc and were; ushered inta a reception.; - en you sir, as to your duties as the Uhicl JUag- j istrate ol this republic, but tp show our respect 1 aid present, io-. brief, the claims of our race to. ! your favorable consideration. In. the order of - i - Pivine Providence you are placed in a position ! where you have the power to save or destroy us w uicts ur uiaist us. x mean our wnoie race. Your uoble and humane predecessor placed in our hands the sword to assist in saving the na tion, and we do hope that you, his able succes sor, will favorably regard the placing in our hands the ballot with which to save ourselves. We shall 'submit no argument on that point. The fact that we are the subjects of Govern ment, and subject to taxation, subject to volun teerin the service of the country, subiect to be drafted, subject to bear the burdens of the State, riiake ;t not : improper , that we , should ask to share in the privilege of this condition. I have no.epecch to submit on this occasion. Isimply submit these observations as a limited expres sion of the vietvs and feelings of the delegation with which I have come." The President, after stating generally that he was a' friend to all men, 'both black and white, said : ' ; "If I know' myself and the feelings of my own heart they have been for the colored man. I have, owned slaves and bought slaves, but-I nev er sold one. I might say, however, that prac tically, so far as my connection with slavotJhas gone, I have" been their slave, instead of their being mine. Some have even followed me here while others are "occupying 'and enjoying my property with my consent. For the colored t vno.Oi. mv mpsns. fiiV tinier niv nil h irp hprn nor- ;jrQ,i . 'j .. -i (.

This kind of theo retical, hollow, unpractical friendship amounts to but very little. While I 'say that I am a friend to the colored man, I do not waut to adopt a policy that I believe will end in a contest be tween the races, which, if persisted in, will re sult in the extermination of one or the otheY r i r..i,:,i i, T tj u i. oou luruiu inat. x Biiuuiu uu eimaguu in fcucii a I work. Now, it is best to talk practically and in a common sense way. ' Yes, I have said, and I re peat here, that if the colored men in the United States could find no other Moses or any Moses that would be more able and efficient than my self, I would be his Moses to lead him from bon dage to freedom; that I would pass him from a land where he had lived in slavery, to a land if it were in our reach of freedom!' Yes, I would be willing to pass with him through the Red Sea and the land of promise to the land of liberty. Rut I am not willing uyder either cir cumstance, to adopt a policy which I believe will only result in the sacrifice of his life and the shedding of his blood. I think I know what I say.' I feel what I say, and I feel well assured that if the policy urged by some bo per sisted in, it will result .in great injury to the white as well as the colored i-man. There is a great deal of talk about the sword fn one hand accomplishing an end, and tbe ballot accomplish ing another at the ballot-box. These things all do very well, and sometimes have forcible appli cation. 'We talk about justice.'- We talk about right. We eay that the white man has-been in the wrong in keeping the black man in shivery as long as lie has. That is all true. Aain we talk about the Declaration of Independence md equality before the law. You understand all that and know how to appreciate it. 'Rut now let us look each other in the face; let us go to the great mass of .Colored people throughout the slave States; let us take the condition in which they are at the present dime, and it is bad enough we all know, and suppose )'ou could say to every one you shall vote to morrow, how would it ameliorate their condition at this time ? Now, let us get closer up to this subject . and talk about it. What relations-have the ctlored j man and the white man occupied iu the South ' heretofore ?- I opposed slavery upon two grounds : First, it was a great monopoly, cna ' bling those who controlled and owned it to con ' stitute an aristocracy ; enabling the few to drive j great profits and rule the many with an iron rod ; as it Were. Jna tnai is one great oojectton ro ; it in a government, its being a "monopoly. I ! was opposed to it secondly 'upon the abstract principle 'of thivery. Hence in getting clear of ! a monopoly, we were gttting clear of slavery at "the same time :So vou sec there vere two right i ends accomplished in the accomplishment of the j one. - ' - - " ' 1 Douglass.

They did, not consider it quite as respectable there tghire to a man who did.not own negroes as to hire to one who did. Douglass.-7-Because he would not be treated as well. The President. Then that is another argu ment in favor of what I am going to say. It t shows that the colored man appreciated the lav.e-holder more highly than he did the mau who did not own slaves : hence the enmity be tween the colored man and the non-slaveholders The white man was permitted to vote before the Government was derived from him. lie is a part and parcel of the political machinery Now, by rebellion or revolution, and when vou come back to the objects of this war, you find that the abolition of-slavery was hot one of the objects. Congress and the President himself declared that it was waged on our part in order to suppress the rebellion. The abolition of sla very has. come as an incident to the suppression of a great rebellion. As an incident, and as an accordant, we should give it the proper direc tion. The colored man went into this rebellion a-filave; by the operation of the rebellion he came out a freedman, equal to a freed man in any other portion of the country. There, then, is a great deal done for him on thi3 pbinL The non-slaveholder, who was forced injLo the rebel lion, and was as loyal as those who livjsd beyond the limit of the State, was carried into it, and his property, and in a number of instance's, the the lives of such were sacrificed, and he who has survived has come out of it with nothing gained but a great deal lost. Now upon a prin ciple of justice, should they be placed in a con dition different from what they were before ? On the one hand, one has lost a great deal, and in a political poiut of view, scarcely stands where he did before. Now we are talking about what we are . going to argue. We. have got at the hate that existed between the two races. The query conies up whether these two races, situated as they were before, .without prepara tion, without time for. passion and excitement to be appeased, and without time for the slightest improvement, whc&her the one should be turned loos upon the other, and be thrown together at the ballot-box with the enmity aeJ hate exist ing between them ? The query conies. up, will we not then cnmincncg a war of races ? 1 think I, understand the thing. Rspeciuliy. is this the case when you force it. upon a people without their consent. ANOTHER SPEECH.. President .fohnwn is'vot 0 Candidate for re , election. . t A delegation from Montana Territory waited upon Mr-Johnson recently. They were white, and not Indian nor negro. In reply to tluir ad dress congratulating h'rm on his policy and th.a acceptablenees to the-people of the principles ix pressed in his Message to Congress, he said : - I sa' again that no man can mistake the duc tiines of that Message. It is very easy for per sons to misrepresent it, and to make asstrtiona that this, that or the other" has taken, place, or will take place; but I think I may be permitted to say to you ou this occasion that, taking all my antecedents, going back to my advent into 'pub lic life, and continuing dowrl to the present -time, the great cardinal principles set forth in that paper have bWn my constant and unwavcr: ing guide. After having gone so far, it is too late for me to turn and take a different direc tion. They will be my guide from this time onward, and those who understand theiu my know where I shall always be found when prin ciple is involved.-. .Hero let nic iay to you, u order t disabuse the public mind, as far as i t is possible for an individual to do so, that my pub lic cjreer is well nigh done.

In the Senate, in favor of the Bill to Prevent the Distillation f) Grain. . " Mr. Speaker: Doubtless, a great portion of the people of the State are looking, with much anxiety, to the action of the Senate, in relation to the bill now under consideration, (it having passed the House of Commons,) and, as we are, j each of us, about to make a record either for or "gainst l?,a measure, 1 deem it a duty ' I owe to .tne f'e0?Ie ,ot ,he fe,ate and particularly those I have' the honor to renrcsent on this "floor: tc state briefly the rea?ou whioh influence mid to support the bill. . ' - . . , ? 1 am opposed, Mr Speaker, to taking brcao! from the mouths of the thousands of suffering families of North Carolina, and converting it into liquid fire into that element which has dug so many premature graves, that clement which erects the gallows, fills ap our jaihj,' in- creases the demand for poor houses?" and pro pares subjects for lunatic asylums. - That, Sir, which distracts and deranges whole neighbor hoods and entire communities, interrupts tho family circle, capacitates man to slay his fellow, man, makes him worse than a brute, a ravings maniac. That element which dethrones reason,, blights the intellect and fills the dockets of our courts with such overflowing records of crime. ' Senators may have in their pockets letters and. remonstrances against the passage of tlio- bilh. " but, Sir, let the piteous cries, the solemn ap peals on this occasion, be heard from the thou sands upon thousands of soldiers' wives and ful lering children, throughout the length and breadth of North Carolina, for bread, and'for the stills to be stopped ! ' In my opinion, their1, cries would be irresistible and all opposition, would yield. ' ' ' Tire quantity of corn in tlm State is too lim ited at this time, to' suffer it to be converted into ho deadly a poisjn as whiskey. Why, Sir, in that portion of our State, which was over-run by the Federal armies last spring, buffering, if ' not staivation, (unless the stills those infer- nal machines are stopped,) is inevitable.' I . can testify as to.that portion over which Sher man, with his mighty army, passed iti our Stato with fire and sworu, aud like a' mighty tornado, creating desolation and ruiu wherever be went, as the smoking ruins empty barns, wasted field and uptorn farms, all along the line of his march, will abundantly testify. And how could , corn be made, with horses 'and mules all taken, lencws burned, and negroes freed?' Could the returned soldier, to his wasted farm, make corn, enough? Most assuredly not. . Propitious as the seasons were, the crops were short, aud the quantify on hand, in .ho district ' whieh I have the honor to represent, h limited indeed." ', (orn is rapidly advancing, and unless the stills are stopped, will continue to rise. I heaid of a sale ft few weeks ago, in a certain county in . this State, not far from the one thai I repreHcnt, where corn brought S3 20 a bushel,', bid off by a distiller. The soldier's ife was there, with her hungry, starving children by her side; 'but fie heartless -distiller could afford to pay more than the poor woman, and she got no corn. ' " Let u, iMr Speaker, stop the stills, and tax. foreign liquors high, and, if tho people 'will drink,- and thus contaminate," and corrupt the ' very atmosphere they breathe, let them pay dearly for it. The House of Commons has. passed this bilT, and already are they receiving commendations and praiao all over the State; and hhall it be said that" the Senate braoch of, the Legislature of North Carolina refuses to aid in this humane work? I hope not. v I feel it due. to my constituents acd to my conscience to go for it. . , ' " V;:-'""a Notwithstanding such truthful appeal as the above were made, Ihe Senate rejected the J .. -," What they Wokk for ts Indiana.- The question of labor hasr grown to" beVuitc as' per- ers ex press J themselves ag perfectly grilling ,ta work for their board.
