An est valorem tax of one percent on two hundred million would raise two millions. At a unit per cent, it weald be one million.

"Educa tion is the cheap defence of nations," net only from without but within. It is that light which distiaguisbes refined and civ iliaed from barbarian races.

If o aot put iu operation as good public boot ss .there are in other portion of the country, we cannot hope to attract to nu tate any considerable number t immi grant. I bey will eoiitiuue to turn their steps, toward ether region, not more in viting than ours, it is true, in elimste, soil and material resources, but in which they can secure for their children, at the publie charge, system af schools to fit them to become intelligent and useful cilisens, Tbe people of North Carolina have long been a unit iu favor of education, From the day of Yancey, Murphy, Suoly, Cameron, Gaston, Caldwell, sad ethers, to the preaent, their enlightened states nan of nil parties bare enjoined tain as tb. first duty of the State. I am persuaded that the purpose to educate the rising genera tion i aa firmly fixed now a at any for mer period. This Is a subject on which all eaa agree. A rivalry can exist In this respect which will be generous in It na ture, which will violate no sacred rule of charity, and which, honoring those who may engage m it, will confer immeasura ble benefit and blessing 04 this and fu ture generations. , s . I recommend, in tbe most earnest terms, that the General Assembly daring its pre sent session provide for a general and uni form system of public school. The schools for the white and colored children should be separate, bat hi other respects there shawls' be no Mfik in the character of tbe schools, or in the provision made to support them. The Board of Education and the Trus tees of the University will doubtless make reports to tbe fieneraJ Assembly st early day as to the condition of the educa tional interests confided to them. Both these Boards are fully organised, and have transacted moo important business Protection to Labor. Tho Constitution provides that "the General Assembly shall provide, by pro per legislation, for giving to mechanics and laborers an adequate lien on the sub ject matter of their labor." In theVnnflict alwav going on between capital and labor, the tarter is more like ly to suffer than the former ; first, because money or capital is power ; and secondly, because capital I generally controlled by a greater degree of intelligence than that which characterises labor. Labor can riot afford to combine against capital to en force its rights, for the reason that it can aot", like capital, retire within itself and await results, Birth should be protected in such manner as to prevent either from encroaching on tbe right of the other Contracts in writing should be encoura ged, aud should be strictly enforced. The mechanic or laborer should be required to perform his contract with scrupulous fidel ity ; and on the other baud, no opportu nity should be afforded to the contractor or employer to evade payment when the contract ha thus been performed. Tbe life of labor is steady employment at compensating wages, with the certainty of payment. The life of capital is steady enterprise snd investment, unembarrassed by idleness, inattention, no'i-performaoee, or slack performance of contract by ih. we employed. I can perceive 110 difference, hi a legal or moral point off view, between a contract broken by a me chanic or laborer, and an obligation dis regarded by a capitalist or employer. The mechanic and the laborer should be protected, bnt not to the detriment of the employer when the latter ha fully com plied with his obligation disregarded by a .capitalist or employer. Tbe mechanic aud tbe laborer should be protected, but not to tbe detriment of the employer when the latter has fully eomjdScd with In obli gation The former should be assured, while laboring, that the reward of his la- envet this, there should be a lien in every case until be is paid. The- remedy should be plain, speedy and cheap. As a general rule the mechanic aud laborer can not afford to en gage iu suits st law aud pay foes. J In is a subject winch excites no small interest aim ng the people, those cspe entity who live by their labor will contin ue m res the subject upon the attention of the General Assembly, until suitable laws for their protect! ni are enacted. A workingman myself. I feel a deep interest hi whatever concerns the workingmen of the State. Our present and future pro must be bssad on labor. Labor Id not enty be honored, but it should be protected and promoted bv every pi-ae- ticabje means. Hut while labor should be protected arid honored, idleness should receive no coun tenance or favor'. . Every one should be required to pursue some honest culling for a living ; and the presumption '.s.l.nml.l be, as it fairly and justly is, that an habitual idler with no known or visible means of support, is in a condition to be tempted to the commission of crime It is mkr and lounger who, for the most part, fill our jails and workhouses, as tbey will fill the. penitentiary. There is work of some kind for all to do, and all should be employed. Stag LawB. -The law of creditor aid debwrie of the first importance. Tho relations of these nothing as to their constitutionality ; bat yen when tb unfortunate condition in which we have boen placed daring this period 1 considered, It cannot be assum ed that the debtor will be harshly treated If now required to meet his obligations. Tbe losses incurred by tb rebellion am aot confined to particular ease. Tbey were general, affecting the whole people of the Slate la every walk of society, if s debtor cannot pay in the last resort, af ter reasonable indulgence has been exten ded to him, he is bankrupt. - What ren dered him a bankrupt whether the rebel lion, or bia own improvidence, or waet of economy or foresight m not material to the argument. We may lament his mis fortune and sympathise wi;b him. hot still the fact remains that be is still iu possession of property which Justly be longs to his creditors, some of whom may have been reduced to his condition by bis failure to meet his obligations. Tbe on ly refuge of such a per ones to comprom ise with his creditors, or to enter a court of bankruptcy, Or to make uch an exhib it and disposition of his. property and ef fect as will satisfy bis creditors that be is fixed in an honest purpose to du them jus tice. I do not by any means concur iu the opinion that an honest bankrupt has incurred any serious loSs of character a a business man, or that he should be dis trusted or avoided. Such a man, on the contrary, has displayed honesty, moral courage and candor which entitle him to to tbe respect and confidence of bis neigh bors ; especially when we remember that we have just emerged from a condition in which nothing was solid, and in which nearly every one was involved iu pecuni ary disaster and distress- Failure in bu-' sines or loss nf property should but stim ulate to renewed exertion. Ihe honest. industrious and upright citizen, howsoev er reduced or depressed by misfortune, ill alway find friends to aid him iu bis efforts to improve his condition. I recommend that the stay laws be .re pealed, and that creditor and debtor be placed on a footing similar to that- which they occupied previously to tint rebellion. 1 be homestead exemption provided in the Constitution, even if not good against former debts, wrH nevertheless operate beneficially iu tbe future. It will secure a borne for the family in any eveut ; and it will have a salutary covet to a certain ex 1. ut in checking extravagauce iu tbe csedit system. j The Mtlitia. LEGISLATURE OF N. CROUNA.
