That our readers oay uoderaUod the reasons wby Great Rritaio haa invaded China and massa cred her citizen, we will etata to them lew facial which' may be relied upon aa authentic. I The importation of Opium haa bneo prohibited by the law of China, for nearly 'fifty yean. Bui it haa been exteoaively cultivated by the East In dia Compauy, in its possessions in India, and by that Company, haa been ayatemitically omuggled into China,"in violation of all law, corrupting the moral, and, destroying the live of lha inhabitante. In March, 1839; the English merchante al Cantoo were compelled by tbe Cbineea Government to aur render their smuggled Opium, valued at 110,. 000,000; and it wa destroyed by order of tbe Go vernment oi China. , No ooe can dispute Ihe right of the Government to ooJbroa iia revenue lawa, even to Ihe destruction of tbe contraband articles. Yel Great Britain ha invaded China aod masea cred an unoffending people, on the ground thai they had insulted her merchants, aod with tbe demand that tbe value of tbe Opium destroyed ahall be re fundad. The conquest of China wa easy ( for they are a people unskilled and unpractised in lha art of war. Great Britain haa accomplished her object. The Chinese have agreed to pay Ihe demanded in demnity, and the former power ia lo hold part of the terrrtoryof the hitter till the terme of the treaty are complied with. The succeaxful termination to Great Brilaio of thia iniquitous and abominable war, will be lb mean of forcing the poison upon the Chine, tu the dust ruction of the moral aod live of the people. Thi is to advance, directly, the internet of that monstrous monop-ily, the East India Compauy, and to add lo ihe revenue of the British crown. And the British are sending missionaries lo Chi ne, io order to convert Ihe Heathen to Chrulianu tg One of thia clasa waa wall answered by a oalive : " Why do you Cbiietian bring oe Opium, and bring it directly in defiance of our lew t That vile drug ha poisoned my eon baa ruiud my brother and Well nigh led me to beggar my wife and children.

An English writer on thia subject eaye: "The developments of national wickedness are eo per focily appalling, that, if there is soy virtue or i uf shame left iu our pnnfrU -tem, the Opium trade with Chiua will be speedily supressd.,t But what efli-ct can a eena of shame, or virtu or the principles of justice have, when tbey come in Conflict with the " hlnnd mfml " uijU afdMuSM. of a monarchy T Theee transactions of the British Government may be dignified with the title of a n national war," but they are, in troth, nothing lea than demoralisation, robbery and murder Nbrth f?aralina Standard.

Ibe unfurtunate reeult of that blind aipertmeot, instead of leaching us wisdom, apooare lo have made us mure obstinate in error. The proposition io distribute the Public Lands, or rather the pro ceed of Ihem, involve precisely the earn qua- lion in all it length and breaatb. It ia only called by a ditfi rent nam. We ire told that, almost yery body ie in favor of this scheme. VV have no doubt of il. We have read veral resolution which hare been paeii by State Legialaturv with great unanimity, in uvor of distribution. Wa expect lo see a great many more. Even the Legislature of the Empire State will pees similar aime, w presume, in the c urse uf a few day. M Divide I divvle T u th ciy pHsned round in all direction, precisely as it w is wbuu iheie was aucb an eagerneea lo finger the iurp!u revenue. There is a wooderlul cbarm in this idea of dividing and making ua all rich with our respective shares. I rue, the nation is in debt to the amount of seva re'l imlliount upon which th people are paying interest ; true, Ihe revenue are not sufficient to pay ita curuul expenses ; true, increased taxation must be resorted to iu order lo enable Ihe Government to go un at all ; no matter let ue divide what little we have let each one grab for hi chare, and ran. aud may ihe Lord take care of Ibe Government, and have nx-rcy upon him with tb weaken arm ami the shortest legs. 1 his is Ihe principle of di viamn, stripped of all embellishments, and presented 1 'j1'1 hnaviab J bankrupt, who, seeing that his affair ire going to il- civ, ri sposeg ut all hia available eftecla, pockets ail (tie cash he can reach, and then coolly turns hi buek. upon his creditors. The distribution ol the revenue arisiog from limit is even worae, much worse, than the distribu tion of the surplus revenue. There was some lit tle excuM for that folly. The money waa actually ou hand, sim the country was out of debt. Although the distr button was a very silly act, we had the money lo distribute li is not so now. We are actually proposing now tu divide our revenue when w huve not enough 'o discharge our debts, or pay the oxpenses of Government. Lfnlaiures are pausing refHihitioua or instruction lo thia effect, Go vernor and Seuatoraare recommending it, taking cure ot the aame time to exhibit to lha "dear peo ple," in glowing color, the riches about to be showered upon tliem by lha measure. The distribution will most certainly lake place. The State, espeeiallv those that are unable to pay the interest on iheir debt, are so eager for il that thuy can baldly wait stir Ihe forma of legislation to lU wj(i B . V 1 here it morever, such an universal itching of palms lo receive a portion ol the mkmU, Hint there is no restraining the general ru!li. Not my is th Federal Government made to divide tho surplus revenue and the proceeds of the Public Lauda, but there appeare to be a dixposi. lion to loree a divwnn of the tiifrirnt revenu aftioj for at the very aaoment wheo the naiional Treasury ia in arrears aome live millions of dollars, we find the Governor of this State is reeonvneiutinit a call Cor the fourth ioatalment of the original diatribulioii. There are those who even go to far aa to recom mend i landed national debt, rather than not pay oyer the fourth instalment. Thi is like an inaol eut Bank that borrowa money out of which to de cUre divideud, iu Order lo give a character lo its ! J!

So then Ihia mo ney which a leneroua Government i recioualy be- atowa upon ua in bountiful chanties, ia our owo af ter all.

Every dollar, there fore, distributed amaog Ibo people coat them two. It ia, io truth, borrowing their mooey aod making them pay to iolereat. But auppuae thai thia difficulty did oot oiiat, aod that Government could divide it revenue without being guilty of tbi ridiculou absurdity, what U the great benefit lo be derived from ibe distribution?

Soma will allow it to. ba applied to their State debta, where it will ha but a drop io the buck at, but will go eo far toward accompliahmg aa indirect aaeumplion of State debta by tbe Federal Government aaolhor measure wbicb do one dare advocate openly. But suppose it lo bo disposed f aa Mew York disposed of bar share at the previous distribution, that ia, by loaning it upoa lauded se curity to those wno wiah to borrow. Farmer will flock lo the commiteionera, encumber their proper ty, thereby reodenng it unsaleable, apeud the money aa borrowed mooey i usually spool, without the least economy, and, at last, in a majority of caaee, loeo their hum to pay tbe debt.

And not only will the now unproductive labor, or rath er eapacity for labor, of our country, find bound toss employment, but the light end eterile awl which have beea exhausted by improvident culti vation, or more naturally unfruitful, .will thus be made productive beyond Ibe wildest dream of their proprietor. Bui all Ihia require time and patience, add thai akiti whichia only found in connaiion with ex periene.

W trust than that thia midden and very gener al direction of capital, enterpriza and industry to the Silk culture, will prove no mere bubble, or transmit enthusiasm. Georgia haa already made great advancement in thia branch of agriculture, and w trust tb time is not far distant, when our own State will more eriouly reflect upon it im portance. the visionary and th giddy, wbo Iiav rushed ' fnto it with the absurd Idea m makjog a fortune offhand, will of course a abruptly abandon it when thev have met with the disappointment which certainly await them.
