LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Peptic LKCTUEKa.TAt tbi time, when money ja so much needed for pnblic charitl tehC jtj particularly for the succor of the poor; would it not be well to establish in Wilmington, a sys tem for a regularcourse qf.public lectures 1 And wht organization is bettercalculated to take in hand sucbf a matter, tnthahe Wilming toa Library Association, (if there is indeed such in association in existencdjrhe theatre being Hosed and public and private amusements U kind ttSf btcle with the departure jof holiday, the public'min is beginning to era to niething intellectual byjWhjch it can be satis fied and amused. We therefore suggest as a very Probable success, the' , orgaruzatioa.oXia system bv which lecturers may be obtained, and lectures delivered. The late distinguished arrival, Mr. DaTi was formerly , we think i member of the Library Association, and probably is so now, and vftdonot doubt, would accept without hesita- tiod an invitation to address the community, and deliver the opening address before the Associa tion. A year or two before the war, this system of public "lectures was adopted, and once a week for many weeks the elite of the city crowded to the Theatre to hear those addresses. Mr. Davis appeared as one of the lecturers of the season, and we have not yet forgotten the pleasure we experienced while ho spoke iiom hia-theme "The good old times." Possibly he may consent to reproduce '.he name. . We otr these remarks to the gentlemen of the Association, and to the community generally, honing that they may be acted upon; The course, proposed will certainly afford much pleasure to out citizens, and at the same time, if a moderate price of admission be charged, prove a means of raising funds for charitable purposes. ' Remember the Poor. We see it stated in a late-number of the Newbern Timet that a tneet in'ff of citizens will be held in that place shortly to take some, measures for the relief of the poor of that community, during the coming winter Thn noil fnr tfiA mppHncr 5j siilrriVirl bv some eiht or ten of the leading citizens of that place, ana, mugiqg nom inal, iaci, dius iair to produce some results of importance. This.-s a movement made in the right direction, and one that once started will probably roll on to a suc cessful issue. We. would respectfully suggest to ou,r own cit izens here in AVilinington, that a similar, attempt be made here, and that some means be at once adopted by the charitable to relieve the-numerous cases of distress and destitution that abound in our midst. Wilmington, although larger and wealthier tlian Newbern, has a smaller propor tion, we believe, of poor in her limits, than 'any other city of her size in the southern country." Yet she-has -a goodly number, and this number must surely have suffered much during the pres ent unexpected cold weather, and it. is surely the duty of those who have been blessed with some thing lik an, abundance by a kind Providence to maie some efforts toward allaying the distress of the poorer classes of the comrnunity. They call upon us all as men and brothers,, and surelyfc as men and brothers, we should do what we can toward allaying their distress. The chances of life have placed them lower in the scale of afflu- CllLC Willi Ulllcl O , It J3 nui Hiwn lauiu, auu uiuou who can should certainly make every effort to assist them. We respectfully submit these re marksvto the more charitable portion of our com , munity, hoping that some action may be taken in this matter, and that at an early day. To Wood Getters. To those of our country friends who may have wood on their lands, con venient to the market, whether cut or un cut, we would say earnestly hurry it up by all means, and bring it here, and you.wjUget good prices for it in greenbacks. The present,. cold snap of weather came upon us very unex- pectedly, and in the matter of fuel we Were to tally unprepared for it. The small stock on hand Ms become almost completely exhausted. The stock of small dealers had in fact entirely given out, and gjily one lot remained on hand, and that was in the possession of a large dealer, who find ing himself alone in the market, very consider ately raided the price about one hundred per cent, on its-original valuation. For this act of Jtindness on his part, a public meeting should be held, and resolutions expressive of the deep sense of the community be adopted, thanking him for his kindness and humanity. So bring along your ood, our country friends, and make haste too to get it here before this cold weather has passed. will have plenty of competition from buyers, and we dpubt not will soon return home rejoic ing, well satisfied with the result of your la bors.

A HOWL FOR MORE BLOOD. HIORE COWSTITUTIOXAIi BE QUIKEMEM TS CALLED FOR. THE EQUALITY OF THE MANDED. dtc., RACES DE- Scc. Mjldison, Wi3., Jan. 1. This evening the new stato officers were sworn into office. Governor Fairchild, in his inaugural, says : "With the return of peace much of responsibility and care has passed away. The people of tins state Will ever remember with pride that they no bly, answered the calls of the general government foremen; over ninety thousand of Wisconsin's sons went to the front. With the close of the civil war all dangers have not been averted, nor have all responsibilities ceased. Great political prob lems'remain unsolved, and their solution requires, hot only , the exereise of the calmest judgment and the purest discrimination of our greatest pub lic men, but also earnest thought, unwearied ef forts and honest purpose of all intelligent citizens of the republic. Two great and important ques tions are already determined by the late war. The right of secession, so strenuously claimed by the people of the south, and vigorously main tained by their arms for more .than four years, has been forever decided against them, and from this judgment, obtained by the union army at the point of the bayonet,, there can be no appeal. The national unity has been fully demonstrated, and the national honor fully vindicated by the armed power of the government. Those who sorfgdit to divide and destroy .the country have been compelled to bow their heads before the majesty of the law, and on bended knees ask par don for their crime. The verdict of the Ameri can people is, that any attempt to right fancied or real grievances, bypbrce of arms, is treason. They ask, as they have a right to ' ask, that the highest judicial tribunal in the land shall give expression to that verdict, by a trial upon the charge of that high crime, in accordance with HWwW---JCefrepfcentaUTd hellion the man who stood before the world as the acknowledged leader of trait ors. Not until Jefferson Davis shall have been tried, convicted and hung for treason, and the fat that trea son is a crime, which cannot be committed with impu nity, slutll have thus been fully demonstrated, will t e American people be content. The American people have demonstrated that the Union is one and in divisible that its people of whatever race, or color, shall be forever free. It now devolves up on us to see to it tnat ireeaom so estaonsnea shall be something more than mere name ; it must be so broad and comprehensive as to in clude within its priveleges and rights all races and colors, and must be so guarded by, and hedged in with constitutional enactments, that no person, not even the highest in the land, can, with impunity, trample npon the sacred national rights of the humblest citizen, whatever may be that citizen's creed or color. Special enactments must be passed for the benefit of the freedman, to protect him against the oppression of his late master. He should be admitted upon the wit ness stand and in the jury box, and be made to feel that he is a man invested with, and protect ed in, all rights of manhood. It is a matter of re gret that citizens of our own state should have denied colored people in our midst the right of suffrage. Time will yet modify their opinions. This privilege, sooner or later, will be extended to that class. In reconstructing the states lately in rebellion, it seems both necessary and proper that ample evidence be required upon their part, that they arc disposed to yield a ready, and wil ling obedience to the constitution and the laws. Each state ought also to be requirert to ratify farther amendments to the constitution forever prohibiting the payment of debts contracted m support of the rebellion, and affirming the sa- credness ol the national aeDt ; aiso aeciarmg an ordinances of secession hull and void : apportion ing representation in congress upon the basis of the number of voters in each state. . With these conditions faithfully carried out, and with the necessary congressional enactments for the full protection of the union men, white and black, the people will be glad to admit those states into full communion with the union, and welcome them with open arms. One of the great est evils inflicted upon the country by the war is the immense national debt. T faith of the government is. pledged for its parent ; it, must and will be paid, principal and interest. The national honor is at stake, and people who created the debt, in their almost superhuman efforts to maintain a free government, have not only power but the will and integrity to fulfill their obliga tions to the fullest extent. It would have been better w have failed in the contest, and been blotted entirely from the face of the earth, than, being successful, disgrace ourselves by volnntari lv ifTuoring the claims of those who came for- ward to support tne government in its urne oi iieed. Repudiation, in any form, or under any circumstances, is one of the greatest of national vii and the worst of national sins. The pewer is in the hands of the president and congress to make victory, so dearly won, a lasting benefit to the country ; and, with full confidence in their wisdom and judgment, the people await their action." . The Governor of Ohio on the Monroe Ioc- trlne. Governor Anderson, of Ohio, seems to have a profound contempt for the : Monroe doctrine. We quote.the following from his recent message, as giving his feelings on this subject : "Tint. rhi rinestion which really concerns us now .- ot what fiis history or its clap-trap name mint imply it to be, but what it is in its own simple nature. And, as it seems to be now trans lated, it is a proposition for our government, en tirely withont invitation, to elect itself into a sort of a parent or guardian for the. whole family or hatch Of SDanish-American republics and peo- vjles on this entire continent, and to protect them, by arms, or menace oi arms, aaiust a icai u. imaginary conspiracy by all the crowned heads of Europe. . . . . , ...

" We are not the nation, at this time, b our precept or example, to quell their disturbances and to supplant them by order and ' indastry.

Aud it must not be forgotten in this connection that one month of war with France would cost this nation, in the loss of its national credit and the depre ciation of its currency, more than all Mexico is worth in fee simple. And with its people um bering the ground patriotism averts her eyes from the horrid picture !" 1; " Once more : It is very true that neither France nor Aus tria has any business in Mexico. ' But the answer is very plain ' no more have we ! Because our government was established for the good oft our own people. It was neither given to us to 'pro pagandize liberty among the Mexicans and Hot tentots, nor Christianity to the Saracens of Jerusa lem, nor the Chinese at Pekia." . I Finally: " It is as if some old Knight of Malta should now arise to urge upon us again the march to Jerusalem. ' Surely,' he would shout, 'the bones of our Saviour ought not to be kept in the dese crating custody of infidels ! Preag on the holy crusade !' Mr. Monroe was, doubtless, a very good, sensible, old-fashioned sort of a president, according to the measure of his abilities. It may be possible that he really was absurd enough (with his doctrine of state rights and strict con struction) to have claimed this national power to establish and usurp the office of a universal wet nurse to all the orphan republics In the world. " However that may be, there once was a pa-, triot and statesman who we can trust. George' Washingtonthe only really and grandly great man who ever filled that seat has taught jus a doctrine worth his teaching and our , remember ing and observance, the eleventh commandment : ' Mind your own business.' " j : -O 1 Governor Marvin on Contracts for lAbor, We take the following from the inaugural ad dress , of Provisional Governor Marvin,! of Florida: f It is all-important to the successful cultivation uteT-haaid.ne able to rely at all times npon having a sufficient number of hands in his service to make land gather the crop, and this takes nearly or quite all the year. He must hire his laborers byj the year, and itseems to me that in the present con dition of the laboring force of this country that he should have some security that the laborer will not leave his employment at a time when his services are most needed. The ordinary renie dies known to the common law for the non-performance of a contract to labor afford him no security, for the laborer, as a general thing, has- no goods or chattels, lands or tenements, to levy upon under an execution. It seems that some remedy ought to be provided by the legislature in such cases. What that remedy ought to be may tax the ingenuity of the legislature to de vise, and perhaps it will only be learned by ex perience ; but it appears to me that it would be wise for the legislature to provide, by law, that where a laborer has entered into a contract in writing, before the judge of probate or a justice of the peace, to labor upon a plantation for one year, lor wages or a pari oi we crop, ana .tne cntract specifies the wages to be paid and -the food to be siven, that if the laborer abandon the service of his employer, or is absent therefrom two days without the leave of his employer,1 or fails without just cause in other important partic ulars to perform his part of the contract, that then he may be arrested by the proper tribunal, and on a hearing of the case, be sentenced to labor during the unexpired term, without pay, upon the highways, in a government workshop, or upon a government plantation to be rented or bought either by the state or by the different county commissioners in their respective coun ties, and there subjected to such oversight $nd discipline as may be found to be necessary, j From Boston, Bostox, Jan. 4. Governor Andrew delivered a lengthy valedic tory address before the legislature to-day ,j in which he advances the opinion that the govern ment of the United States ought to require the people of those states lately in rebellion to reform their constitutions: first, guaranteeing to the people of color, now the wards of the nation, their civil rights as men and women on equality with the white population, by amendments irre- pealable in terms. Second, by regulating the j elective franchise according to certain laws- of j universal application, and not by rules merely! arbitrary. Third, by annulling the ordinance of secession, rounn, aisavowing tne couieue raws, debt, and fifth, by ratifying the entire slavery! amendment of the U. S. constiiution by their! legislatures. And he would have all these ques-j tions, save the fifth proposition, which is regula-1 ted by the federal constitution, put to a vote, ofj the people themselves. X Xatloual Cotton Convention. The question of how most effectually to revive; ! the cotton culture of the south is just now exer-j j cising the commercial and financial oracle's of; the north to a degree that shows they apprecjatej the importance of the subject to the general prosperity of the country. A national cotten convention is strongly insisted upon by the New York Mercantile Journal of a late date. It says j "Let us tben have, in this city, or some other leading centre of commerce accessible to the whole nation, an assemblage of such business knowlj edge, tact and acumen as this momentous subjec demauds ; and, if properly and wisely conducted, we venture to say that a convention of the kind will practically dajnore toward "reconstructing? the south and restoring health to the whole union than til the cross-firing and augmentation of aU the mere talkinsr politicians put torether." ! ! The cry is heartily echoed by the northern press generally, and the hope is expressed that the mercantile", manufacturing and financial icj- terests will admonish congress of the need of do;- ing something without delay.
