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*.

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. Quintus. A imiKO.— Notwithstanding the pacific congratulations thin have recently reached us iroiu Europe, it appears that a number ol Ibo leading powers are still arming, France expects to have 450,000 needle guns ready for use by May next, and Kuasia has ordered one hundred cast steel cannon front the celebrated works of the Messrs, ltrupp, at Essen.

S.—You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch your back.” 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.” FUNERAL NOTICE. MST The friend* and flcguaintances of Miss SARAH THOMAS, oaf of Mrs. K.
