LECTURES OX SLAVERY.
The Rct. Willum A. Smith.. Presideut of Ran
dolph Macon College, delivered a discursive Ad
dress on the Domestic Institutions of the South,
some time ago, in the Methodist E. Church, Front
street In this town. Much interest was eicited at
the time, anf a very large auditory were highly
gratified at this effort ot the orator.
Dotor Smith has, ince that time, put Into three
well digested Lectures clear, full and compre
hensive view of the whole subject. These he has
recently delivered in Richmond and Norfolk, pro
ducing great effect. At the conclusion of the
discourses, la both place, meetings were organiz
ed and complimentary Resolutions adopted, ex
pressing the pleasure aid profit they had derived
from them, with a request that they should be
repeated.
We Jcam that Dr. Smith Is about taking a South
ern tour, for the purpose of delivering these Lec
tures; that tickets of admission will be sold, and
the proceeds appropriated to benevolent purposes
INTERCOURSE WITH BALTIMORE.
We learn with pleasure, that there is every pro
bability of our having line of Packet establish
ed between this nlace and Baltimore, shortly, to
ail from each Port am the 1st and 16th of every
month, uU crnoifutti the rates of freight to bo
the same a between New York iud Wilmington
This matter Is in the management of an enter
prising Horse in Baltimore, that generally con
taminates vharterer it undertakes. The vessels
will be scbooncrs of about 200 Tons burthen, and
insure At the lo,-e?t rates.
We take ihi occasion to state, that there is a
line of Liverpool Packets established in Balti
more, which has been in successful operation for
12 months.
THE DISASTER IN NEW YORK.
The late disaster In Twenty-fifth street. New
York, is still exciting much conversation and con
detonation of the architect and builders. But
three hours before the six buildings fell under
their own weight, the architect had certified that
the buildings were erected in "a good, substantial
and workmanlike manner." The buildings wore
26 feet front and some 40 feet deep, making an
entire front of 150 fest. They had already reach
ed the bei'ht of four stories, asd was to be, when
finished, five stories and basement houses. The
walls were one foot In thickness, all the way up :
the sides and back walls only were built, the front
semainingentirely open, which was to be construct
ed of stone.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The message of Gov. Boctwki.l was delivered
to the Legislature of Massachusetts on the 16th
Inst. He recommends that the Fugitive Slave
Bill be sustained. He says the acts of. Congress
are binding upon every State, and each citizen,
unless the judicial tribunals shall declare them to
be nconstitutional. A law thus patsed may be.
In the opinion of a State or individual, unjust, in
expedient, or nnconstiiutional, yet this opinion
furnishes no excuse for Illegally nullifying its pow
er, or resisting its execution .
He says the only remedy lies in Congress for its
Injustice or inexpediency, and the supreme judi
rjary for its unconstitutionality ; and until there
can be a successful apjieal to one or the other, no
citizen can interfere with the due execution of the
law. He does not therefore advise the passage of
My measure calculated to increase the excitement
which unhappily exists.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Tho following act was introduced into the Sen.
at of Pennsylvania on tha 9th inst., and it was
thought wonld pass both Houses. If so, several
laws offensive to the South will be struck from
the Statute Book of that State, and she will t
hibit a commendable spirit of patriotism :
" Be it tnacUH, f-e. That the act entitled an act
prevent kidnapping, preserve the public peace,
prohibit the exercise of certain powers heretofore
granted to judges, Justices of the peace, alder
men, and jailors in this Commonwealth, and to re
peal certain laws, spproved tho 3d day of March
1847, be, and the same is hereby repealed, so far
as relates to the 3d, 4th, 6th, and Cth sections of,
said act, leaving in force the 1st and 2d frctions
provided they impose no barrier to prevent the
proper execution of the late act of Congress,
passed by authority of tbe 8d clsnsc 2d section
tod 4th article of the constitution of the United
Itatet, which provides for flie recovery of fugi
tives from labor, escaping from oue State to anoth
er, approved the 18th of September, 1850."
SMALL POX IN CHARLOTTE
We learn that the towq of Charlotte is nearly
deserted, and that there Is no abatement of the
disease there.
. There br been two cases t,i ca(n m
Henderson from Small Tox.
CONGRESSIONAL
There Is nothing of importance to report from
the Senate. .Oo Friday, the cheap postage ,
sras passed under' the .operation of the previa,,
question, by sT Vnt of W t 7fc We Mill publish

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
The Standard rejoices st the imssago of this
Bill by the House, st.d in the belief that it will
pass the Senate. The Constitution provides for
alterations having the sanction of two succeeding
Legislatures, by a vote of three-fifths, and a sub
sequent submission to the people. In this mode
a Convention is not required.
But if a Convention is not required by the let
ter of the Constitution, is it not demanded by the
principles of our Government, and especially by
tho political professions of the Democratic Party 1
It was considered a great triumph when the Mag
na Charta was obtained from King John, of Eng
land, and confirmed by Henry III. This Great
Charter wrested from those Kings certain prerog
atives of the Crown, and was a great gain to the
Democratic principle. The Monarchs were land
ed to the skies for having given up certain rights
of legitimacy to the demands of liberty.
But if the Kings of England were entitled to
praise for this act of grace, what shall be said of
w Democratic Party of Die Commonwealth of
North Carolina, who ar about to give "free suff
rage" to the pouple ; who are about to permit
them to enjoy what was supposed to be their own
right 1 To bo sure, several things were demand
ed by the people, asd it was said that a Conven
tion was necessary, that we might recur to "first
principles" as provided for in our Bill of Righto.
But the Couvention is denied j the people are for
bidden to Uke the organic Law into their own
hands, and are plainly told that the Democrats
will yield but one of the many grants required
they withhold from the tovereignt the privilege of
exercising their wills not because they have the
right, by any principle ever avowed by them, or
acknowledged in our republican polity, but be
cause they have the power.
Fine doings these. Not a grain more will be
allowed to tho people, than was marked and set
down in the stump pledges of His Excellency,
who ought to be styled His Royal Highness or his
Majesty because "his faithful Parliament" so
faithfully guard the prerogatives of his govern
ment. The people should remember that "His
Grace is bountiful," in allowing this matter of
"equal suffrage. "
There would bo less ground of complaint, if the
Democratic politicians would quit prating about
"progressive democracy," and the "sovereign peo
ple." This is not the first time, however, that the
democracy of our land has jirogretsed into dtspotim.
What a beautiful comparison we have in these
cases. A King gives up a prerogative and is prais
ed by the teoile who are benefitted. The demo-
cratic arty, the very quintescence of political ex
cellence ; the " Rose of Sharon," as it were, in
matters of liberty, and the '' Lilly of the Valley"
in a concernment of equality, refuse to the peo
ple the right of using and enjoying what is their
own ! And they must be praised also, as tho "in
domitable" and "untenifled."
But to be somewhat more serious. We believe
in the sovereignty of the people and their capa
city lor seir-government. We believe they are
honest which is moro than wo believe of many
politicians. We believe they have a right to elect
men to ro-model their Constitution, ami make any
change they see proper. It is their own unaliena
ble right to make their organic and other laws to
suit themselves and we therefore go for an un
limited Convention. Why! Because no earthly
power has s right to limit it.
A NEW CROTCHET-
We sec that the Boston Crtmotypc has commen
ced the publication of a scries of articles by Lrs
andcr SeooNtn, being a defence for Fugitive Slaves
sgiiust the Act of Congress of the last session.
The writer sets about giving a new interpretation
to the Constitution, and endeavors to provo that
slavery neither has nor ever had any constitution
al or legal existence, and Congress has the power
to abolish it. A special apeal is made to tho
members of the Bar throughout the Union, with
an affected confidence that they will decide in fa
vor of the new construction. The existence of sla
very is declared to bo owing to ignorance and
fraud. We recollect this has been asserted to be
the reason that the Bible is upheld These Nor
thern illuminati would destroy that Hook, because
the institution of slavery is authorized by it, as
well as tho Constitution of the country. They
have asserted a "higher law" than the Constitu
tion, and wonld substitute a New England crotch
et for the law of God.
But we arc disposed to let this matter pass as
unworthy the serious consideration of the public.
It is a movement intended solely to make numry,
for Mr. Spoof sa cannot expert to make converts
to his creed nor will he excite controversy. The
psrties most interested in the question the Sou
thern people will look upon this effort as too foo
lish and contemptible for argumentation for they
do not care a flg for those who become the dupes
ofthisncwcreed.be they many or few. They
may think and talk as they please about slavery,
but they have got to take it as part and parcel of
the Constitution, willing or unwilling.
The beauty of this matter is the pretty snug
speculation about to be made of it. Spoon 1ms
. i i t. . . f i . . ....
ccurvu ine copywngni oi mis worn, and the Edi
tors of the Crotutipe give notice that they will
strike off "twenty odd thousand'1 copies of the
first chapter, ami we suppose the same or a larger
number of tho paHr containing the succeeding
chapters. If the Northern people choose to pay
for this humbug, they have the right to do so, or
of being fooled in any other way equally ridicu
lous. We hope no Southern man will buy a copy
of it. Let the catchpenny fraud live and die in
the abolition atmosphere of the Korthern States.
A GOOD STEP.

MANUFACTURE OF WINE. V
A correspondent of the London Morning Chron
icle gives the following description of the mode of
manufacturing Wine In France. The editor of the
Journal of Commerce says he has witnessed pre
cisely the same process In Italy:
" Very venerable and decidedly picturesque as
is the process of wine-treading, it Is unquestiona
bly rather a filthy one j nnd the spectacle of great
brown horny feet, not a whit too clean, splashing
and sprawling in the bubbling juice, conveys at
first sight a qualmy species of feeling, which, how
ever, seems only to bo entertained by those to
whom the sight is new. I was everywhere assur
ed that all efforts had failed to construct a wine
press capable of erforming the work with the
perfection of the human feet. No mcchaircal
squeezing, I was informed, would so nicely express
that peculiar proortion of the whole moisture of
the grape which forms the highest flavored w ine.
The manner in which the fruit was tossed about
was pointed out to me, and I was asked to observe
that the grapes were, as it were, squeezed in eve
ry possible fashion, and from every possible side,
worked and churned and mashed hither and thith
er by the ever moving toes ami muscles of the foot.
As far as any impurity went, the argument was,
that tho fermentation Hum; as scum to the surface
every atom of foreign matter held in suspension in
the wine, and that the liquid ultimately obtained
was as exquisitely pure as if human flesh had nev
er touched it."
(uOHRrSPOXDKNOK OF THK COMMKSCUL..)
NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 1801.
We arc in tho receipt of very singular weather,
considering our proximity to the North Pole.
Yesterday, telegraphic messages from the princi
pal places between here and Boston und between
this city and Buffalo, inAirm us that they were all
in the enjoyment of warm May-like weather. For
u week past it has been quite warm in this city,
and for the last two days absolutely spring-like.
We kept our doors open. To-day it is foggy and
there is promise of a warm rain.
Large placards about our streets, this morning,
caution the public against purchasing chances in
the ' Gift Concerts," so called. The caution ema
nates from the N. Y. Anti-Gambling Association.
A person purchasing a ticket to these Concerts is
promised not only a musical treat but a chance
for a prize iu the distribution of paintings, farms,
Ac. It is a lottery, but no worso than the Art
Unions, and much resembles that great humbug
speculation.
It is astonishing how many tricks there are here
to "rope in" tho verdant of all classes. For some,
the Mock Auctions will sufliee as a bait, but oth
ers require ths hook to be more artfully conceal
ed before they will bite. Even these Iraiits arc
likely to besjvtted by the Anti-Gambling Committee.
Money is plcntv in Wall street, but business is
very dull, and I hear of some failures. The un
seasonable weather has been productive of great
loss to the dealers in dry goods who had laid in
large stocks for winter use. The fur dealers, and
stable-keepers regard the warm weather very rue
fully. There is much dissatisfaction manifested that
Charles Sumner, the Free Soil candidate of the
coalition in the Massachusetts Legislature, for the
office of U. 8. Senator has not obtained votes
enough to be elected. The Whig candidate, was
Hon. R. C. Winthrop. The Button Post, disagree
ing with many Democrats from the rural districts,
took a noble stand egainst the agitator. It is time
that all patriots, without regard to party, should
operate actively against all disorganizes, whether
at the North, or at the South.
Yesterday, in at Stinson & Co's Now Orleans
and Mobile Express Office in Wall st., I heard a
handsome tribute paid by the venerable Dr. Lee
to the lihcralitv of our Minister at the Court of
Saint James. The old Dr. said that having at
tended Mr. Lawrence through a fit of sickness
some years ago, he, presented a bill for 8130. To
his surprise his grateful patient gave him a check
for Sw hundred dollars.
Addison Gilmore, the President of the Great
Western Rail Road Co. who dropped down dead
in a ball room in Boston last week, was for some
time a porter iu a store directly in the rear of the
insurance office in which I served my time. I had
some eilucatiou and he had none, and yet he died
a wealthy man, while I am a xr as ever.
Moral. " Look out for your cuuies and your
dollars will take care of themselves." Mr. Gil
more was a mau of great shrewdness, energy
confidence and crsevcrancc. More than all that,
h'J was ' lucky." lie made a great deal of money
in the Salerastus and Rum business.
Ere this reaches you, you will have received by
telegraph the news per Steamer Franklin, which
came thundering into this port last night, from
Liverpool. The Cherokee is exacted from Cali
fornia to-morrow. On the same day Steamship
Fanny will leave for New Orleans. Steamer Ohio
will h ave here for New Orleans and Chagres on
the 'JXth inst.
You will have observed by the papers that anoth
er block of six story buildings has tumbled on
the heads of the unfortunate workmen, killing
about a dozen. The contractor and foreman cs-cajH-d,
and have left town. I really trust that the
ow ners w ill be mulcted in heavy damages. The
bricks were hardly touched with mortar. There
are a great many such sham buildings put up in
this city.
The Directors of tho Faycltcvillc and Southern
Plank Road Conquiny met on the 1 tlh inst. and
permanently organized by appointing
A. A. McKeithan, President,
(1. Deining, Vice President,
A. A. T. Smith, Attorney and Secretary,
D. G. McDuffie, Engineer.
The sealed Proposals were opened and the con
tracts awarded to D. M. Buie of this rountrv, at a
price, wo understood, equal to about $1:MU 68

FEMALE VOTERS IN CANADA.
It may be interesting to tho advoca e of "Wo
men's Rights" to know that in Upper Canada they
have admitted women to some of the franchi
ses, the withholding of which was greatly com
plained of at the Worcester (Mass.) Convention.
The other day at tho election of School Trustees,
several women voted, their right to do so having
been legalized lat session of the Provincial Parliament.

STEAMER FRANKLIN.
NLNE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
New York, Jan. 16, 11 P. M.
Tho steamer Franklin arrived at quarantine this
evening, from Havro. She brings Liverpool dates
to the 81st of Deo.
The Franklin encountered very rough weather
and heavy seas. She will remain at quarantine
until to-morrow morning.
From the London Times, tho only paper receiv
ed by her, brought up by private express, is furn
ished the following brief synopsis of tho news.
INDIA.
The commercial accounts from India, by the
uvurlnud mail, are considered very satisfactory.
ARRIVAL OF THE.
STEAMER ASIA.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
New Yokk, Jan. 17, 10J P. M.
The royal mail steamer Asia arrived here at 10
o'clock to-night. She brings Liverpool dates to
the 4th of January, four days later than tho advi
ces by the Franklin.
There is nothtng said in the Asia's news about
the American steamer Atlantic, and the presump
tion is that she sailed on the day advertised. If
any accident has befallen her it was not known
when the Asia sailed.
The political news generally possesses no special
interest beyond what we have had by previous arrivals.

GOOD ANECDOTE.
I remember nn anecdote of Judge C , father
of the distinguished President id' the Wesleyan
University, which is very characteristic of the
man. and is. I have no doubt authentic. At the
session of the Court in Addison county, Judge
(' was violently attacked by it young and very
impudent attorney. To the manifest surprise of all
present, the Judge heard him quite through, as
though unconscious of w hat was said, and made
no reply.
After the adjournment of the day. and when nil
had assembled at the inn whore the Judge and
many of the court folks had their lodin". one of
the company referring to the scene at court, as
ked the Judge " Why he did not rebuke the im
pertinent fellow V
" Permit me," said the Judge, loud enough to
call the attention of all the company, among
whom was the ' fellow" in question. "Permit
me to tell you a story. .My f.it.ier, when he liv
ed down the nomitry, had a dog a men? puppy,
I may say. Well, this puppy Would go out every
moonlight night, an 1 bark at the moon for hours
together."
Here the Judge paused as if he had done his
story.
"Well, what of it!" exclaimed half n dozen voi
ces at once.
"Oh, nothing, nothing, whatever the moon
kept right o i just as if notlrng had happened.'1
