We publish this morning; e communi
cation oe the subject of poKtiosl affairs
in connection with the South, which we
recommend to the perusal of our readers,
North*add Souih. It is "from the pen of
an old and experienced citizen of this
State, whose .judgment awkhiteHigence
entitle his ids ice to respect and consid
eration. ‘lt is to be hoped that he will
not permit his pen to be idle ; but that
he will continue to give his views to the
public through the columns of the
Daily Pass*. It is of no consequence
that we mi; sometimes differ on miuor
points. We respect hie advice, art
shall always cheerfully accord him a
place in our colutnns.
Horth Carolina’s Allegiance Vin
dicated.
The following resolutions have passed
the Seuate of the North Carolina Legis
• latnre, and will, pass the
House of Representatives. They are a
complete vindication of the loyalty and
allegiance of “the old North State,”and
are equally applicable to all of the
Southern Slates. Why wiH not the
people oi the North and the Congress of
the United States take these official out
givings as evidence of our loyalty to the
Union and the Constitution, rather than
give credence to the unauthorized asser
tions ot . irresponsible parties, or the
falsehoods of vindictive characters,
whose business it is to traduce and libel
our people. Perhaps, after awhile, jus
tice may resume its sway, and secure to
us all the rights which belong to ns
under the Constitution and the Union :
Be it Besolved by the Senate and
House of Commons of the Oeneral As.
sembly of North Carolina, That we, the
representatives of the people ot North
Carolina, feel it to be an imperative duty
to those we represent, under existing
circumstances, when grave and impor
tant questions are pending in reference
to the restoration of the State to the
Federal Union, to vindicate the loyalfy
and good faith of the people of North
Carolina, and to solemnly declare, that
on accepting the issue of the late con
flict of arms, and in submitting to the
authority of the Government of the
United States, they did so in entire can
dor and good faith, which have been
made manifest in the character and con
duct of our people in relation to the
Federal Government, and they also de
clare that all imputations or doubts ns
to the loyalty and good faith of the peo
ple of North Carolina, are alike unjust
to the people of the State and injurious
to their true interests.
Resolved, 'i bat it is the most ardent
Irish of the people of North Carolina to
be restored to their Constitutional right
and relations nnder the Federal Govern
ment, ufi'd that no honorable exer ions
shall be wantin'; on their part, or
thutof their constituted authorities, to
accomplish that great end, which they
believe to be identified with the perma
nent peace and prosperity of our whole
country.
Resolved, That it is the ardent wish
of the people of North Carolina to be
restored, not only to their Constitutional
relations o! to the Federal Government,
but to the relations of peace and con
cord with all the people ol the United
States, that the differences of the past
may be buried in obliviou, and that the
good and patriotic of all sections of our
country may unite in the restoration of
our noble and excellent firm of Gov
ernmeat, aa the lasting pledge of peace
and union in the future as it has been
in the past.
Affairs in Mexico.
The dissensions which have for so
many years distracted Mexico appear to
be growiug worse, under the proposed
retirement of the French. It is evident
that the people of that unhappy country
are utterly unfit for self government,
and we honestly believe that the loss of
Maximilian and Carlotlh will be the se
verest blow that the material interests of
the eonutcy have received. Before the
French troops have left, native parties
are beginning their quarrels again.
Generals Cortinas and Canales have
takep sidjfeS with Ortega injiif - pretended
claims, and will he able to bring to his
aid a military force sufficient to make a
stand against Juarez. It is difficult to
estimate the public feeling in regard to
these rival claimants for the Presidency,
but each has friends and strength enough
to keep up an indefinite commotion,
until some outside power interferes 10
allay the dements of discord, The
march of events indicates that to the
United States will full the task of pa
cification.
Chiu. —The census of Chili was
taken last April, and has just been pub
lished. According to this census, the
area of Chili is 132,000 square miles;
the population is 2,084,9-10; the foreign
residents iu the country numbered
23,220; 832 of the inhabitant* are from
qne hundred to one hundred and forty
years of age, and 9,630 are physically
or lueutally helpless.
Tke Duties an# Deftciexwies m
the rraw.
Mr. Editor j — l |»ve read the articles
of jour corWfcponJfeot “Xjlon” will
much interest, and I welcomo their ap
pearance as -» symptom that a better
tone and a more liberal conduct is about
to prevail with the picas of the South.
Hitherto hut one toice has been heard
from the press, and that, I am sorry to
•ay, is the voice of the extreme men.
Ilia Southern Radicals, and J thiak that
u-rm may with aa wuoh justice be ap
pK«d to them as to the ultra Radicals of
the North. Both oppose measures of
concilUtita; both aw to meet '!
on half way gTOund to settle sectional dif
ferences; the policy of both tends to
the destruction, division, and ruin of the.
nation.
Such a state of things ought not to
exist m the Southern press. Having no
longer party interests to subserve, but
the far nobler object, the salvation of
their couVtirj, and the vital interests of
the South, the course of editors should
be not only themselves to diseuM, but to
allow the discussion, through their col-,
limns, of every subject healing upon
our political situation. The object of
all of us is to bring our ship of State,
shattered by the storms of civil war,
again into a sale and peaceful harbor.
We may have different opinions *s to
the manner In which the wreck shall be
saved and repaired, but all those whose
future fortunes are in the same common
peril have an opportunity to Offer their
counsel. It may be worth nothing—it
may be dangerous—but at least, at the
present juncture, lit it be rqspectftllv
listened to and considered. Discussion
will develop its unsoundness, if ill
judged ; teach us to avoid its dangers,
elicit truth, and lead us in the path of
safety. (i ' j
It is not unjust to the press to accuse
it of having failed to enlighten the peo
ple upon subjects in which they were
vitally interested, and that it has not
only avoided discussion but bas discour
aged it. It cannot be denied that there
are among the people differences of
opinion on importAiit subjects, but those
diverse opinions have found no voice
because they have had no organ. It
would have been a graceful liberality on
the part of the conductors of the press
to have allowed those opinions to be
manifested, even though they might
have been-opposed to their own. The
concealment that there were such differ
ences has worked harm to onr interests
—not good It bas led men not only at
the North, but everywhere else, seeing
no signs of dissent, to believe that the
tone ot the Southern press was indira-
tive of the sentiments of the Southern
people; for outsiders could discover no
evidence that there existed here a class,
a minority perhaps, who disapproved of
the violent language which character
ized our press. Thus has the policy of
repressing discussion injured us not
only politically but pecuniarily, for timid
capitalists, will avoid investment in a
country where, judging from the only
indication they have, the people are a*
far from quiet as they were at the com
mencement ot the war from which they
have just emerged. Since newspapers
are no longer organs of contending
political parties, they should be the
organs of the people, aud should not
refuse to reflect every shade of opinion
existing among them.
The course of the press may have
been prompted by tbe idea that the
South, by continuing to show a solid
and unbroken front, might procure
some more advantageous terms. But
exactly opposite has been and will be
tbe effect. Those who have our fate in
their bnnds say, with apparent justice,
to those disposed to Le lenient in the
terms offered us, “llie.se are the utter
ances of llieir newspapers ; if any large
portion of the Southern people are more
moderate than they, why do they not
let their moderation be known.” Thus
the appearance of unanimity produced
by the press, instead of iutimiduting.
has only rendered our enemies more
obdurate. Besides, if it was in
tended to exalt tbe justice of our cause
iu the eyes of the world, this apparent
unanimity falls short of its object. All
students of humau nature, and of his
tory know that nothing but Omnipo
tence can cause one million, or even
one thousand men to entertain the same
sentiments, or take the same views of
any proposition, and it by no means
follows that because a people are unan
imous, therefore, they are right. Since
the days of the Deluge and of Sodom,
it bas been olten demonstrated that the
Noahs and the Lots—tbe prudent and
prescient men—have constituted a small
minority of a people.
I know, Mr. Editor, that it is not very
agreeable for a condoctor of a news
paper to give currency to sentiments at
variance with his own, but when such
opinions are expressed in temper
ate and respectful language, 1 think you
will be doihg good to your “constitu
ency” to allow articles advocating con
ciliation, moderation, and, on the part
both of North and South, mutual for
bearance, respect, and justice a place in.
your columns, however much they may
differ from your previously conceived
and expressed opinions.

The Three Eictbs Rule. —The pro
position of. the Radicals that because the
hdgroes were reckoned at three-fifihs
their number, iu the basis of represen
tation as .slaves, they should not be reck
oned at all when lree, is thus answered
by the Louisville Courier:
Now what are facts in regard to what
is called' the representation for slaves
provided for in the Federal Constitution?
The Southern States were allowed, iu
establishing the rates of representation,
to count three filths of the number ot
slaves. Or to state it more exactly,
they were compelled to lose two fifths of
the negroipopulation in the enumeration
because they -Were slaves. If they had
been free the whole number would have
been counted precisely as they always
have been in the North.
It is a cross roisiepreseutstion of the
facts to say that the South gained any
thing by the rule referred to. The
North was the gainer by reason of the
fact, that while all of her negro popula
tion was counted, the South was only
allowed to count three filths. The
Nqfth has had the benefit of this rule
since the adoption of the Federal Con
stitution, and would have had it uow
hut that she chose to abolish slavery in
the South, and by that act placed the
Southern negroes on a common footing
with her own. The South did uot ask
them to emancipate the negroes any
more than it now asks that they shall
be made voters. It was as much op
posed to the one as it is now opposed to
the other But it is meanness most
intense for the North, after enjoying
without question, for so long a lime,
representation for their negroes, to seek
to change the rule, when by their own
act the South is nbout to derive a little
advantage from it. It is a tegular
Yankee trick, full of charaeterkue,
selfish unfairness. If the South will
consent to reduce the negro to a cipher,
upon a par, so far as political influence
is concerned, with the beastß of the
field, it will all be satisfactory to the
spirit of radicalism; but it jj,ia demand
ed that the negroes of the South shall
stand upon a common footing with those
of the North, then Jacobinism proclaims
that negroes shall be voters. Such is
its consistency.
What Makes a Lady?— When Benu
Brummell was asked what made the
gentleman, his quick reply was, “Starch,
starch, my lord I” This may be true,
but it takes a great deal more to make
a lady ; imd though it may, to some,
seem singular, I am reudy to maintain
that no conceivable quantity of muslin,
silk, or satin, edging, trilling, hooping,
llouncing, or furbeiowing, can pee se, or
dress maker, constitute a real lady.
Was not Mrs. Abbott Lawrence just as
much a lady when attired in twelve
ceut calico, iu Boston, us when arrayed
in full court dress, at St. James', Lon
don ?
"As Mrs. Washington was said to be
so grand a lady,” says a celebrated
English visitor, (Mrs. Thorpe,) “we
thought we must pul on our best bibs
and bunds ; so we dressed ourselves in
our most elegant ruffles and silks, ami
were introduced to her ladyship; and
don’t you think we found her knitting,
und with her check apron on! She re
ceived us very graciously and easily,
hut after the compliments were over she
resumed her knitting. There we were
without n stitch of work, and sitting in
state; but Gen. Vt nshington’s Indy,
with her own hands, was knitting stock
ings for her husband.” Does not that
sweet republican simplicity comtnaud
your admiration.
—A Virginia negro boy, who professed
to be dreadfully ulnnned at the cholera,
took to the woods to avoid it, and there
whs found asleep. Being asked why he
wont to the woods, he said “to pray.”
“But," said the overseer, “how is it
that you went to sleep ?”
“Don’t know, massa, ’zactly,” respond
ed the negro, “but ’spec I must have
overprayed mysell.”
—“Didn't you tell me you could hold
the plow ?” said a farmer to an irishman
he had taken on trial. “Be aiey, now,"
aaid Pat; “how Could I hould it an' two
horses pulin’ it away? Just stop the
cralbur* an’ I’ll hould it for you.”
