By such labor no raouey is ever made. A man may support himself and family, keep out of debt and have a few dollars in his pocket by practic ing the most rigid economy. If he is other wise than industrious and sober, be is on the down grade with loose brakes, and the end i.- soon reached. But farming in its true ense is a profes sion eqodl in dignity to the law or medicine, and needs equal study, mental capacity, and intelligently directed labor to command suc cess in it. The principles wbicb underlie the practice of the true farmer must be un derstood, and a steady, consistent course of operations, must be followed. Having thoroughly learned the nature and capacity of the. soil he possesses, and chosen the ro tation most suitable, and the stock to be most pi on table kept on it, he does not swerve from the chosen course, but in good markets and bad, raises his regular corps and keeps his hand in regular increasing fertility. No special cry tempts or affrights him. He does not talk dairy this reason and crops the next, but doubtless, if any particular product be in demand and brings a good price, he has some to sell and reaps his share of the advantage. He saves as much as some men make, by care and economy. in purchas ing and preserving tools, seeds and manures. aud machines, and his business habits and constant rediness for all occasions sive him reasonable .aecu rit y against the effects of ad verse seasons and bad weather. Always prepared, he is never too late : always calm, he is never too soon ; and thus, "taking time by the forelock, he has the stern old tyrant at his command, and turns him at his will. He has no losses, and his gams are steady. The Louisiana Conspiracy.

Grant is in the plot and has agreed to carry it through with the bayo nets rf the army. The ultimate object which Grant ia aiming at is understood to be the election of his brother-in-law Caeey to the Senate. to punish the evil doers when caught. Whereupon, the following premable and resolutions were offered by Geo. N. Thompson of Leasbnrg. N. C , aud read by the Secretary Jack Morris : Whrbkas, It is a fact to be regetted, but not denied, that there are manufac turers of tobacco who do evade the United States Revenue Laws, to ihe great detri ment of the honest manufacturer ; there fore. Resolved, That we, the manufacturers of North Carolina, do herubv pledge our selves to use alf legitimate menus in our power to aid the revenue officers in sup pressing the same. Resolved, That no evasion of the law shall be practiced with our knowledge or consent ; but that blockaders be exposed and brought to grief, if possible. Resolved, That vrvb such officers as Supervisor Perry aud Collect" r Winstead, and other officers of the Collection Dis tricts, assisted by such an organization as ours, the Government will soou be able to have the whole revenue law faithfully executed. Resolved, That the Chairman be reques ted to forward a copy of these resolutions to eaeb manufacturer of this State, and request that he allow his name to be eu rolled as a member of this Association. Resolved, That we will hereafter ex pose aud have prosecuted any merchants, or other persons, who may deal ,in block ade tobacco.

Uesoivea, mat we nave printed m pamphlet form a list of the names of all the manufacturers and peddlers of North Carolina, which number is between 600 and 700, with postoffice address, which will be furnished to the trade at a prime cost. Resolved, That Revenue officers be and are hereby invited to become members of this association. Resolved, That our thanks are due to the citizens of Greensboro for courtesies extended our Associations, and hail with pleasure the placards "Down with Block aders and up with Honest Manufacturers" and hope that it may be the pleasure of other towns and cities to placard their towns in the same way, that the evil-doer may see the handwriting on the wall. Resolved, That onr thanks are due the Greensboro Patriot, and other papers given notice of our association. Resolved, That the proceeding of this meeting be forwarded to Hon. J. W. Douglas, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue. Resolved; That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Greensboro papers, and the lobacco Leaf and Cotton Plant, with the request that other papers favorable to our association opv . for not calling a Convention and redress ing the grievances which they have huh erto so loudly and eloquently proclaimed t 1 he old excuse will iterve them no longer This General Assembly must call a Con vention now, or else the party which it represents will stand, self-convicted, be fore the world as vile and venal slander ers ; as loud mouthed and noisy dema gogues, who achieved power under false and fraudulent pretences : and who when trusted with power by the people were eilher incapable or unwilling to use it for he public good.

The Frenchman endeavored to beat him down, but iu vain. The peasant would abate nothing of his first demandv The immigrant, rinding it useless to waste words with him, and being in pressing need of the fuel, at last took it, and paid tbe money tbat he was asked for it. The peasant delighted to have ao good a bargain, drove with his empty eart to the village inn, which was not fardistaot, and ordered breakfast. While it was getting ready he entertained the landlord with.an account of the way in which be bad chea ted the Frenchman and made him pay three louis d'ors for a load of wood) which at the utmost was not worth more than $2 talking as if he had done a slaver thing But tbe landlord was a good man, and feeling justly indignant at the peasant's i conduct, told him that he ought to be as hamed of himself thus to have taken ad vantage of the ignorance of a poor foreign'' er. 'Well," said the posssnt, with a scorn ful laugh, "the wood waa mioe. I had a right to ask just what I pleased font, and nobody has a right to call my conduct in question." The landlord made no reply. Wben breakfast was over the peasant asked bow much was to pay. The landlord replied, "Three louis d'ors." Whail' said tbe peasant, "three louis d'ors for a cup of coffee aud a few slices of bread and butter ?" "Yes." said the laudlord, with the ut- 01XT Aod Sksa ia tbe ead of U all 1 U Only a walk to the atile, throewn Only the sunaet-light, purple and river; -m Aod a ling-ing, lew i int good-bye forever.

Winston, Jr., at HalL A large and intelligent audience assem bled last -right to knar Mr. Winston on tbe Ueoveution quest too. The speaker has a. fine, round voice, flexible and vary pleasant to tbe ear. Wben the emotional was intended, tbe speech was clothed in the choicest costume of words, and elo quently and impressively spoken. Mr. Win ton began with the fundamental fwoposiiion, tbat no; Constitution on the ace of the earth, framed for a free people is binding or of any force, unless framed by that people without let or hindrance. lie then shewed the origin of our-present t-onstitulion, (displaying great research and learning,) and drew the conclusion, that the instrument is tbe direct product of militaty rule, the people bting merely I may thin mciucuiBi inrrcio, ana is a oauge or SUD- jugation, which it ill becomes us to wear. He stated that there is no man of intelli gence in the BUte ef any politics who ts And not a satisfied with the Constitution, and that to kP the changes upon which we all can arree I puBl beo children cry. ought certainly to be adopted. If this la accomplished it wHt be an advance to ward the great principles of self govern ment. He compared the Judges, who under take to ioterpiet the Constitution, to n man who is going either North, East, South, or West, on tbe ocean, a borixon of difficulty everlasting opens before him.

Can it be doubted thai such a constituency would require to be informed, why it was that tbe General Assembly, having the requisite constitu tional majority in both of its branches, to enable it to call a Convention to alter and amend so obnoxious an instrument, failed or refused to do so ? And what answer shall be given to this very reasonable demand for information ? Why, forsooth ? that the General Assembly was afraid to call a Convention. Afraid ! W by, in the name of common sense, of what was it afraid t And the answer is afraid of the people ; afraid if a Convention were called the political power, so recently and unexpectedly acquired, would be forever lost. Such an answer as this .is the last straw which breaks tbe camel's back. The people, like the strong man of the Scriptures, rising in Jie majesty of their unshorn might, will at once and forever hurl from place and power the timid, slothful and unprofitable servants which accident and an evil fate have in a mo ment of unexampled national importance, elevated to a station infinitely beyond their merit.

The Ship of State is never again to be entrusted to tbe command of those who blenched from the helm when the storm raged fiercest. Yon told us not once, but again and again, that this Con stitution was the only obstacle to wise and beneficent legislation. You promised us not once, but agaiu and again, that you would seize the first oceasion to re move this obstacle from your path. You have deceived us with false clamor ; yon have deluded us with false promises; you have, by your timidity and folly, thrown away a trolden opportunity: an opportunity such aa seldom occurs to the childien of men; an opportunity such as may tiot oc enr for a century. Again we say to yon, stand aside! Make way, and forever for other and belter men. most composure ; "the coffee and bread aud butter were mine; I have a right to ask just what I please for them. My bill is three louis d ors and I shall keep your horse and cart until yon pay me. If you think I am charging you too much you can go before the Judge." The peasant, without saying anything more, went to the Judge's office and made his complaiut. Tbe Judge was surprised and indignant at the landlord's extortion, especially as he had always borne an ex eel lent character. He ordered him to be brought before him, and his reception of him was some what stern. But Ihe laudlord told him tb whole story how the peasant had taken advantage of the poor immigrant's ignorance to cheat him, what their con versation was, and how his own conduct was simply visiting upon the head of a dis honest man the wrong he had done to an other. Under such circumstances the Judge de cided that tbe landlord bad done right, aud tbat the peasant should pay the three louis d'ors. The peasant, with a very ill grace, drew out his purse and laid the money on the table. "I do not want this money," said Ihe landlord to the Judge, "as yonr honor may well suppose. Will you have the goodness to change oue of these louis d'ors and give tbe peasant two dollars of it for that, as he confessed to me, is all thst his wood is worth and return the remain der to the poor Frenchman 1 For tbe breakfast I want nothing. Tbe Judge was much moved at the words of iho eood innkeeper. He counted out the two dollars to the peasant and dis missed him with a severe rebuke. The rest was returned to the poor immigrant, ho. on hearing tbe story went to thank of those liberties. Those of them who hare departed sleep in honored graves, their lights hare as cended, to shine in the heaven of onr his tory. Caswell, ami Davis, and Macon, aud hosts of others, who walked with Washington in the paths of freedom, had already preceded them; and in latter years Stanly, and Morcbead, aud Badger, and Ruffiu, and Swain: and Cameron, have taken their places in the upper sky. A few of these lights still linger, like beacon on a long line of ooals, to warn us of the breakers and quicksands that confront and environ us. And the men of 186 1 what shall I say inc forever.
