We liave repeatedly sounded the note of alarm in regard to the cen tralizing policy of those who are now wielding political power under the general government." For quite a number of years there has been a gradual but steady encroachment upon the province of legislation re served to the people. The views which we presented1-weral months ago under the caption of "A Strong Governmenf'appear to have attracted special attention, and in various forms have been widely circulated through out the country. But the evil is in sidious in its approach, and every .refill vantage it gains is secured by the most plausible arguments that appeal to passion or prejudice during some moment of pojmlar excitement, and thus obtain an advace which is never relinquished. The founders of this Union of States under a written Constitution were very apprehensive that the people would be restless or discon tented, or misled by demagogues, and in some period of excitement might overthrow the government thus es tablished. With this in their mind, they erected all the safeguards pos sible against the assaults of popular frenzy. Conpcious of t their own in tegrity and disinterestedness,it seems never to have occurred to them that those who would be their successors in the administration might be the most dangerous foes ot liberty, and in the very wantonness of power, might go to the other extreme and virtually deprive the people of the right of self government. When Jefferson returned from Europe, and saw the condition of things, he was alarmed, not for the government, but for the people. The creature of the new Constitution was hedged in with ample protection, strong enough to resist any assaults of the populace; but the latter were left helpless and without a single guaranty of that personal liberty for ,wliich. they .had been struggling through bo many years of suffering and privation . - With his sagacious mind he saw Uhat the'source of the greatest dan ger to the perpetuity -of free institu-. tions ad 'been entirely overlooked. He had learned something , from his tory, but much more from observation in the Old World. He had seen that tli3 cruelest wrongs, the bitterest oppressions, had come from the leaders who had been intrusted with the k, administration of government, "and once fortifying" themselves in -their seat, had directed their author ity against the dearest rights of those who had given them this elevation for the common protection. He knew there was no time to lose, for power once intrenched was not likely to surrender, however strong the popular demand. He arroused at once so a strong public sentiment . in 'favor of his views, that they were adopted and embodied in the fun damental law. In the light of this history the original Constitution signed in 1787 and the first 1 0 amend ments proposed in 1789 maybe com pared with profit to ever thoughtful student. There is not in the first a single bulwark of popular liberty, while the amendments have the ring of a jealous, watch fulness, and are a little more than a bill of rights in restraint of governmental encroach ment on personal welfare. , . The right to the free exercise of ones own religious faith ; the freedom of speech and of the press; the right of free assembly and petition ; the right to bear armg - without restric tion; the right-to-be secure against the seizure of person and property without due legal warrant; the pro tection against public and wanton accusation of crime 'for- the -mere purpose of oppression and extortion; the right of trial by jury, wherein all the old privileges of the common law should be guaranteed to the ac cused; the restriction against exces siye ba,: which , in: oppresive hands meant - perpetual' imprisonment against excessive fines, which might be simple .o;fisca'tion of estate, and against cruel and unusual punish ments; and the 'seryation in ex press terms to the -States and to the ' people respectively, of ali "rights and powers not delegated to the United States, "and' not" TolAntarily rlhv' 10.1883. ' quished in the instrument all these are found only-in the ten amend naents.thus obtained. ' The centralizafion policy wks set at work to undermine this founda tion. The fight over the United States Bank grew out of an effort to utilize the immense power of such a 1 financial institution, in days when capital was scarce and in great demand, for the aggrandisement of a 1 political party. The object proposed in the establishment of the bank was popular and unobjectionable; and the end to be gained by it was a blow at self government. And so on down through ail the history of the conn try. The sentiment against slavery was well founded, and the system, if left where the Constitution left it, would have dwindled ' ia time to its extinguishment by State authority. It was attacked at first in violation of all law, and then wiped out by a strong central force that stood not on the order of its action. We have left as a legacy of this emancipation several millions of citizens, not one in ten of whom is. fit for self -govern ment. . Their helplessness is used as a further argument for centralization. They are the wards of the Nation (the latter spelled with a capital initial) and not mere citizens of the States. They must be legislated for by Congress; they must be forced by the United States courts into hotels, theatres, coneert rooms and other places Where' their presence is not especially desirable; and general ly the efforts of the central govern ment must be. directed to compel the white race wheresoever they live to admit thesej proteges of the United States to social equality even to the extent of intermarriage. Familiarized with this 'paternal", mterfertenoe at Washington with the social habits of the people, we . are now jasked to make a general stride further in the same direction, and to allow the same authorities to take general charge of the education of the rising generation throughout the country. If this scheme can be carried through according to the plan of its projectors, common schools are to be established everywhere under aa act of "Congress, to T be supported out of the public treasury, the teachers" and 'hooks' "anU rfietods " of tuition to be t under .Washington superm tendency,. and all the wbrk'to -be "directed by a central bureau. rhei arguments for the change illustrated - by the poverty of certain sections, rbr their indifference; to the wants of the children, and the consequent absence of educational facilities, are plausible enough:-but the blow at local self government will be none the less severo if the plan' is adopted. The spirit which fosters euch schemes is'rvery widely preva'ert. Under the guse of phrantlnopy, it looks out over the broad domain and wherever it can find a common need or an admitted evil, it demands that the authority of the general " govern ment shall be directed to supply the the one and abate the other. It does not stop at political, reforms. Its zeal being kindled, it aimsto regu' late 'the manners and habits of the people, not only in social life, bat in their personal tastes and appetites. What they shall eat, and what they shall 'drink, and wherewithal they shall be clothed, are problems these reformers feel called upon to settle by supreme authority. Neither spirits, wine, nor beer shall be made, import' ed, or drank, if they can impose their condition, of life upon the body of the people. We think this movement has gone far enough, and it is time for. the reaction to set in. Indeed we could bear to see it go very far to the other etemeuntil every man.woman and child in all the country felt no restraining , hand beyond the lawful authority next above each of , them, and then only i a teaUera where' obe dience Is conceded to be due, and is consistent with the freest enjoyment of all personal 'nghtai ' ' - Maj. oung has drawn a map of the sugar area of North Carolina v lfe has j ascertained that the climate in" this section' is like that of Xiouisiana in summer and that of Italy in 'winter.

' The appointment of Hon. A." S. Merrimon to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Ceurt will meet with the warm approbation of the people of North Carolina. Judge Merrimon was born in Buncombe in September, 1830, and is now, therefore, just 53 years of age. He came to the bar In 1852, and soon entered upon aluera tive practice. During the ar, after a brief military service, he was solic tor in the western circuit, and the fearless and able manner in whieh he discharged his duties in the trying days of that period won for him he respect and confidence of ail who were conveisant with his course. I 1866 he was elected a judge of the Superior Court by the Legislature chosen in that year, and he presided with great acceptability until, finding that General Can by, the Federal general in command of this military department, required the North Caei olina courts to enforce his military orders in subversion of the lawB pas sed by the General Assembly, he re signed his commission and returned to the practice of his profession. In 1868 he was a Democratie nomiaee for Justice of the Supreme Court, but failed of election. Ia 1872 he was nominated for the office of Gov ernor, but was defeated on a close vote by Gov. ' OatdwelL The follow ing December he was elected to the United States Senate, and since ttie expiration of his term in the senate he has been in full practice of the law. His qualities ' and ehareterisCB are well known throughout North Carolina. His puriby of life, ?le ness of purpose and great abilities have long been recognized. To logical mind, well trained and en larged by continued study, he unites J a clear apprehension and a profound knowledge of the principles of juris, prudence and a thorough acquaint ance with the present state of the law ; and his habits of industry, his capacity to labor and his zeal in doing well whatever he undertakes render him peculiarly fitted for the position to which he has been appoin ted,'; tllis selection for this place ' is Vo appropriate that it' 'seems public -opinion had early settled ' : upon hhn as the .probable" successor of Judge' ?Rhv -? Indeed, as soon as the Vacancy occurred, Gov. Robinson, determined on making this appoint ment if Gov. Jarvis should not return in time to act in the matter; and as soon as Gov. Jarvis heard,' by tele gram, of Judge Rufiia's resignation he likewise, determined on tenderisg the position to Judge Merrimon. On a conference; yesterday morning it came 'out that both tl Gov. Jarvis and Gov. 'Robinson had from the first thought of this eminent citizen in this connection. It only remains to add that in our opinion the selection , is one that merits and will receive the hearty approval of the people of the State; and that in days to come it will bear testimony to the discrimina ting judgment and wisdom of Got. Jarvis and of Lieut. Got. Rob inson. , The ddffslp Tnlrt I David Sbcaek. rmMm Greensboro Patriot. It will be seen, from the oorree' pondence herewith published, that the vacancy made on the Supreme court bench by the resignation of Justiee Baffin was tendered by Gov ernor; Jarvis to Judge David Sheuck, of this place. That Jndge Shenck felt It encum' bent upon him to decline the appoint ment, will be a matter of regret to his numerous friends in this State. That he is one of the first lawyers of the State goes without saying, and his long experience on the circuit as ni - si prius judge made for him a reputation second bo no man who has ever . presided ki our Superior courts. - . ; . - Jn the prime of life with a matui etl -mind, an extraordinary intellect and untiring energy he would have made for himself enduring fame ag one of the greatest legal lights which have illuminated the judicial reports of . N;orth Carolina, and at the same time have contributed much learning la our unsettled system of pleading and practioe, , We congratulate the Governor and the people of the State, however, ' ia being able to secure the services of Judge Merrimon in this imp- tant position. Of National reputa tion.' rigorous physical health and much legal ability and learninff, will, bring- to'1 th6 1 discharge of his dtlfcies those5 qualities of ?mind and' body which eminently fit hhn forthe place, ftndW feel assured',?that O1 appoint noent will meet with universal approval in'the i tate: Greensboro, N.
