They know this is impossible, under the constitu tion of the United States, which prevents discrimination because of race, color or previous condition of servitude. But 5ey care no more for the humbler class es of the whites than they do for colored men ; and in order to reduce the blacks ti a deL-ratled position, they are com pelled to legislate also 4 AO AINST THEIR OWN RACE. Thus, in the case of the charter of the Citv of Wilmington, already alluded, to, hi "the lirft and second wards, there are less than seven nun urea voiers, an toiu; . i.iia iii tho third ward, there are eiaht hundred white voters, and two thousand Colored voters, liut the tirst ana secona tards (where the wealthy men resiue; have a larger representation in the city council, than tho third ward, in which, the white voters alone (being mostly mechanics and laborers) exceed in num ber all the voters of the other two wards. Here, in striking at the coiorea man, lhev are compelled to disfranchise the laboring white man, to avoid conflict with the constitution ot tne uimeu Rt:.ies. that it mav bo said, there is no discrimination between the two races. There is no doubt they can annex sucn foualilitations for voters that will ex clude many colored men ; as tor in- Stance aisreguruiuj mo ..w.--, that the black man shall be a landhold er or vorth live hundred dollars ; but then they will be obliged to add the iame qualification to the poorer classes ff the white voters.

It comes with an ill grace irom the party CRY I NO OUT AGAINST CONSOLIDATION, to favor the uprooting of a system ttut is diametrically opposed to the eentn.i idea. The system is necessary to a government of the people, being of th people and for the people. IJy its op erations, they learn self-reliance, and do not depend upon a central power for life and energy; and in turn, they strengthen the general government, giving to it health and vitality in all its parts. In those states where it has not been in operation, there have always been great numbers of illiterates ; while the contrary is true in the communities where "it has existed. The reason is plain without the township govern ments, it is impossible to sustain COMMON SCHOOLS. Thus, in the old slave-holding slates, these educators of tho people have been wanting ; and now, if this system is abolished, common schools (tan never be established, and the people will be deprived of the ad vantages of educa tion. It is the purpose of the plotters to sup ply themselves and their friends with office, this being a prominent idea in all their scheming. In passing tho con vention bill, the late legislature pro vided for their own continuance in power. The words are lew, but their meaning is strong. Observe the fol lowing, quoted from the Act: " Nor shall said convention pass any ordinan ces legislative in their character, ex cept such as arc necessary to submit the amended constitution to the people for their ratification or Rejection, OHTO CONVENE TIIK OENEItAE ASsEM 11I.Y." So it will be perceive! the members of tho late legislature are counting upon being again called together, thus n-otiivitlv ;iiimilliiiir the recent amend- meut to the constitution, providing tor j biennial sessions ot tneiicnerai assem bly. This is of like nature with the project to create life-oflices, taking from the people thepower to choose their own rulers. , , . One of the arguments advanced by the plotters is, that by ainendin r the con stitution, the government may be ADMINISTERED WITH MORE ECONOMV. Here again, they fail to tell in what manner this is to be accomplished. Hut is the calling of a couvention an economical measure? The cost of the sitting of the body will in itselt be enor mous, and the longer the session the greater the expense If tho constitution should be materially amended, the pres ent system of statute-buys would be overturned, requiring new statutes to be enacted. As the convention will have no power, if the restrictions are observ ed to pass ordinances of a legislative character, a long session of the tieneral Assembly will be necessary to remodel the systems overturned. Nor will the new legislation be coniplotcd, judging bv past history, in a single session ; but for -ears after the sitting of the conven tion additional legislation will bo nec essary, so increasing tho lenghth of tin sessions of the legislature. The c the public printing will bo in. ased, and various expenses attaching to the new orderof things will t n.u tiplied. The entire expenses caot b delinite lv arrived at; but " estimated by competent judgtv, that it will consume as much as FIVE HULKED THOUSAND DOLLARS, or a yei" taxes, if not a greater sum, to sVPlv the deficiency. These larye amounts ought to be saved to the peo ple, already staggering under burdens grievous to be borne. Insomuch as the .coplc have not been consulted in the convention call, there remains but one method to defeat the machinations of the schemers, namely, by the policy of IMMEDIATE ADJOURNMENT, thus appealing from tho legislature to the people themselves. , It is, therefore recommended to the voters ot North Carolina, without regartl to party aiin iatiou, to support 110 candidates for con vention except those who will pledge themselves, not only to observe the re strictions, but who will bind them selves, upon their sacred honor, to vote for an immediate adjournment of that body, without the alteration of a single word or lino of the existing constitu tion. This would secure for unlimited years, a cessation " tta nHitnii.o tc u Called constitutional reform, as well as the wu-umrs of sound constitutional hiv mill won til &lsri i-llt ff the enor mous outlay that would surely attend Ol llio pitus Ol I"'-' let ire to amend tho &IISCELLANEOUS. ,f1lf'. ?' f:j-:.

Drown him in floods that would have appalled Noah ; Bury him in-Arctic snow Subject him to the frost that freez eth the ears off a brass monkey ; Encase him in the heart of an ice berg ; Let old Boreas caress him with Chicago winds, or fondle him in his icy embrace, the little martyr calm ly folds his arms, draws up his nether limbs, and waiteth ; Waiteth for tho next sunrise, when he cometh forth to breakfast, gay as a school girl, and with an ap petite that is a positive luxury. You can't kill him ; Neither can you scare him ; Nor can he be discouraged ; He dieth only of old age, and very late in the fall. How .John Banyan got out of Prison. Bunyan was in his day quite a controversial writer, and was very severe upon the Quakers until he learned that through the interces sion of the Quakers he obtained his release from prison. It is a some what noteworthy fact, now well au thenticated, that Charles II. liber ated Quakers and Puritans from confinement through the personal intercession of the Quakers, among whom was Iiichard Carver, who was mateqf the fishing vessel which conveyed the King to France after the .famous battle of Worcester, 1051. This honest Quaker sailor? after twenty years had rolled away, appealed to Uie King in person in behalf of those w&q w ere in prison. When tlu fugitive king fled for his life,fifs sailor conveyed 1 him on shore. The vessel was bound -fo Poole, coai-laden, when two gers, who1 'passed for merchants, running away from their creditors, toe fugitive King and Lord vil iitof , wwrb landed at xFecamp, : "V. ' One r called at the necks huire boa twined, and each ca smaller snakes, and one of scoff ons. The performance consisted in taking tho venomous snakes from the jars in which they lay coiled, and, in picking them up, the men placing their fingers in the reptiles' mouths tantalizing them to a fren zy, and then wrapping the whole about their heads and necks, where the hissing, writhing , mass present ed a frightful spectacle. A cobra bit the finger of one of tho men twice, and each time he immediately made use of various charms placed a small round stone over the cut flesh, smelt of a piece of wood resembling flag root, and then used it for marking a circle about his wrist. This he told me would effectual ly prevent the ab sorption of the poison into the sys tem. The stone draws out the blood, and with it, of course, the virus. It is generally supposed, however, and with much reason, that the poison glands of the cobra have been re moved in the first instance by the crafty snake-charmers. Several times the cobras advanced until wfthin a foot of my chair, but turned back at command of their masters. During the entertainment one of the men played at intervals upon a .sort of flageolet. The scor pion divertissement consisted in stringing numbers of them together (as the whips of the Furies were made), which tho men then hung upon their lips, nose and ears.
