He is the boy who does not call his father the 'old man," but loves him, and speaks kindly to, and of him, and tries to help him as the, hairs of bis old age gather fast upon his brow. . J ; I The richest boy is one who has pluck to fight his destiny and future. He is the one who has the manhood to do right and be honest, and jis striving to be somebpdj; who ia above doing1 a mean action; ! who would not' tell a lie to screen himself or betray a friend. He is the boy wlo has a heart for others; whose young mind? is full of noble thoughts for the future, and is deter mined to!win a name of pood deeds. . This 5s the; richest boy m America. .

' There can be little doubt that an exodus of blacks from Vir ginia, to the States ofj the far South, has already actively coniiiieneed Such a diminution, of her laboring' population might sujrgest serious reflec tion, but for the assurance which i Virginia has of a speedy and abundant influx of .

They must continue to depend' mainly on the blacks- in' many respects the best labor ing class in the wcrldj as our experience before the w:ir arnrtli '--dfininrfstrafod Tn considerin the future ofj those States,we are confronted at the very threshold, by the momentous question 'ofj the capacity of the black j populationjof the South to meet the rapidly increasing' demand for labor, in the production of our! great staples. -It cannot lie doubted that the rapid prccrea tion, charactjcristic of the black race, while under the careful and provident tutelage of- slavery, has ceased since its emancipation. The mor tuary reports bf all the! leading Southern, cities show a remarkable excess of deaths among the negroes, ir some localities amounting io fOr thirds of the aggregate mortality.! We need not enumerate the causes which are so rapidly deci mating our black population. ( They are well un derstood by the Southern white, people, who do nroti require, j like: Parker Pillsbury and other conscience-stricken fanatics, ocular demonstra tion of the misery and squalor of the 'negro's present existence, to convince them of his utter incapacity for an independent part in the great drama of lifej .

Not even the surplus slave population of the other state sufficed to meet the difficulty, and the' rc-opening bf the African slave! trade was seriously debated in the press .and ini.pnpular- conventions. With the present high prices, which fire yet risingj of the staple products of the South, the motives for development of our industries are increasing and tne oemauu ior laDor must aTely importunate1. 1i oecome proportion- H . u We are far frdm believing, as some that Chinese j immigration is to bo -accepted and encouraged as a Proyideutial sblutiou of this most serious problem.

The Hon. T. L.' Clinguian, in a reeently pub lished letter, on the "Special Tax Bonds," of this State, presents a conclusion, which ia ia my humble judgement, directly opposite to the ona that would be justified by hw tcts. I tjuote his language: . It will bo seen, from the above ttatcuient, that the social tax debt U on such & footing, that its payment docs not de pend on the action of any future Legislature, and that it cin only be gotten rid of ly a revolution ary niovemritt. tchirh vcoxdd overthrow the prtuni State Covstdution." - ( The italics are mine, and it is that part of this (I muit say) remarkable declaration that I now particularly combat. j A tiling that can be done in North Carolina only by revolution, should uot be. done at all. Where desp its xcdl )rit in efforts to rule, against the wishes of the governed; or whero aristocrats, under laws fashioned by themselves for selfish purposes, icifl hold in their grasp, privileges, not communicable to the people, tJier revolution may be the only' possible assertion of legitimate power. But in Statcslikeours, where1 the government is simply the organized expres sion of the people's will, there is not, there can not exist such a contradiction as the right of revolution,- the. right of the. jwadc . to ocerthrmo the people. Universal suffrage and equality of incu before the law entirely abrogate the right revolution, j So the Special Tax Bonds are safe. I trust, from the assaults of revolution. But is it true that the people can be .relieved from the burden of these Bonds only ly rcro lution? I think hot. j . The people conduct this their government through agents. There are three classes of theso agents, the legislative, the judiciary and the ecutive. The first' named class, make laws; the second, construe the laws in cases brought before them by proper parties; and the third attend to the enforcement of all laws so made or' con strued. ! . The Constitution of the State is the letter of instruction and authority that the principal (the people) has given these agents. And jmy act-, done by any of these agents,, that is'uot author, ized by the Constitution, is not in law or morals vltimately binding on the people (I say I k&i mattly, because for a time, they , are binding.) None who treat with any of these agonts, While the agent is acting outside the authority of this constitution, can claim any consideration from the people. The people have mtdo "known to the world, by widely publishing their constitution, l th nature and extent of thcio agencies. jTho maxims caveat empOtry applies, in full force, to all who buy from thcio agqnts. L j Etch class of agents is distinct from the others and independent of thjin. j Each operates as a check on the cjt hers when it thinks that the let ter of authority is not brewed, ,by the others. Each is liable to hoocstly mistake its authority; but each is, nevertheless, in its own sphere, its own judge of the extent of its authority. A; legislator, for example, may well look to the Courts for reasonings to convince his understand ing, wherein he ditFers from tho Courts in refer ence to his agency. But if he is not convinced in reality, the legislator is not only under no oo ligation to adopt the construction rf the. Court, he is even false to hrajjiigh trust from tho poopla ifin.such case, he docs adopt it. lib breach of ,trust consists in his removing one of the chcokt wisely designed in our system of government. From each and ajl of these agcuts there is an appeal, without revolut ion to the people Years may roll away before it is heard, but at. last tho people arc fUio to hear it and give judgment. They may sustain their legislative, judicial and executive agents, or tln-y may decide against them at the ballot box :ud sweeping them one after the other, all away, may "substitute ! new agents for those they havo repudiated. ' The people of the nation -are lin 'lie end the judge pf tho uational constitution; the people of tho State are aboye all State legislatures, judges and execu tives, the judge, of the S'.'u'"oustUutioti.

Now, I couteud, that your agent, the logisla. turc, mistook its legititnatc power, when it author-' ized the issue of the bonds under considcratiop. I think you never gave it any such authority; wT that these bonds arc, void In law and not obliga-. tory.oii you in morals. '' With due' deference to jhe decision of the Su preme Court, but at the same time determined . not to be faithless to my own conception of my - duty, I declare my conscientious conviction to be that the Court erred when' it decided that even a portion of these bonds were authorized by you. ' ' Aud now, alike from the action of the Legis lature in the premise, and the decifriop afore said of the Court, I. a tax paycr and a -citizen, take an appeal to the people of North Carolina- I : - ;.- . i; ' .j I . The first hearing of this appeal will bo in the next election, in this State, for member of tho Legislature. All voters swear to support 'tho Constitution of the State, j If a majority of th voters of the State think the acts, under which these bonds were issued, rc not in accord with that C mstituvi n. thy will fill tho Senate Clum ber and Hall of Beprescntativcs with nicmbeii pledged to repeal the nets, and to pass lawx forbidding the collection of the annual interest in the tax lists. And jusi so long as thejcqple might continue in this way of thinking, uospt'-'ial tax could be collected to I pay tho iuterxiyt dji these bonds. Any official who migiit afterwards attempt to collect any ofi these taxes could be removed by impcachmeutl or restrained by pun there is relief for them ishmcnt. .. So if the people will it, from these burdens relief by a remedy not rev olutionary but peaceful and constitutional. ; In the me intiincj let no nao refuse to pay these taxes or attempt jeven'to evade th?iu. Until the people shall decide, against them ia the manner indicated they are as binding, t-n all tax payers, in law as well as in moraLi as if the acts authorizing theni) were not unconstitu tional, or the decision of the Court sustaining a portion of them, was not erroneous -r ' .
