THE IWin-t lT HOOU.
We make no Bpolgy f,,r publishine,
tha article heUiw taken (rum Hale's
Weekly. The q lesti n is un important
one, and is much dUeuiseJ. 1'eople
shoulJ read and see fur theosclus.
We haven't room, this we-k 1 1 publish
Ihc other side of the question, but will
do si in our next issue :
For seme weeks rumors have been

i upiui me streets eg to a ".ilud-tut
liiom, so called, that was to ailVcls, r
iouslj the politics nf North (liroliua,
nut 10 spite ol oar, tiTirls we found it
impossible until last Saturday to obtain
a oopy nl it lor publication. J his mom
ing, howeer, tbe rcndcM of Ilili
Weekly have the paper IjiJ before them
vcrhnti.ii et liteiviiiii with the assurance
that its late presentation to theui has
been from no lack of persistent erTirt
on our part.
Ah will be seen, the paper confesses
oo -'local habitation" mid bears no
name by which to indicate it source;
but whilo this is truo its purpose to di
vide and dibtract the I)enoiriliu' part
in North Carolina is so pa'pablo that
we are uawilluip, without Hie fullest and
80)1 St proof, to avow a belief that it
Dad in origoi m any other than n I! i ll
cal heart. dnai ly he is no tr.ie Ijx
ocrat who does not lu.k upon all at
tempts to destr.iy the harmony and
co serj'ifutly the ellkiei.cy i.f the Dom
ncratic parly as attempts to do n ,mi
wrong to oui State nod our people', but
when such attempts lake shape L t rr u : s

between the people of the d.GWjnt Sec
tions of oor State they cirslimte a
Crime that in purpose ai d intent fal's
snort in nothing of the roost odious trea
son. Of the purpose and ir ent to
commit such a ciioo the piper nhicii
we print below furnishes eviJence full
and complete and varied.
The precise form which this latest at
tuck upou the iiite-iity of the JVmo.
cratic party iu Noith Carolina has a
tursed u that of an argument uninsl
the completion of the Western No. ih
Carolina Railroad by cutting slioit the
work at Asbeuhe, the point at which it
Las now practically an'ned. The rejs on
assigned lor the stoppage of the road at
Aslnvilleby the piper which, in spi e
of its select and ca.cful circulation, is
popularly known as the Mud-Out JJio.ii,
are fn general :
1. That in consequence of Demo
cratic legislation morn than two trillions
of dollars have been wasted ii building
the ruad from Henry to Ashoull-, n
distance of only 21 miles by stage rojd,
a gap that it was unnecessary to fi:,
and that when filled mint ever remain
Unprofitable ; and further, that u less
the aforesaid Democratic l.'r.i.latioii is
undone many more millions will Le
wasted. Iu a word, all money spent on
the Western Noith Cuolina lliihoid
or to be spent on it under Djrnoertitic
administra'ion is mo: ey wr.sted. There
is neither complaint wo believe as to
any money spent under Radical egWt
tiou uor any complaint madu rTs to
oianacnieit urder a Radical adaiinis
tratiou of the alTaiis of the company. It
is only Democratic wasto that makes
theli loin roll its thu:ider and scatter its
fuiked lightninif.
2. That the Sputanburg & A-lieiillc
Railroad Company, a private corpora
tion, is bulb able and env ois to con
tinue its roads down the French loo ad
River to Paint I! n.1;, on the Tivn.esvio
line, f.d three make conne-li.ni with
the railway system of the Mississippi
Valley, thin accomplishing u cnmpli
tioo in put at leal of fiu Western
Aorth Carn.ina Kulroad without espouse
to the State.
8 That the continuance- of the road
by tho State under ersting legislation
will advantage, and ii point of hn is
intended by the leaders of ilu Djioo
cratic prty to acltamaj. only t!ie
mortgage bondholders of that road by
ihmii; uown more Hack lor
gobble up wheu they foree
mmtgaje mWxh they ciu ai;d
speedily.
Upm these throe assjrti .;,s the Mid
C.l H.oni tests; hot fortunately lor the
people of the West c specially, " and for
lmccralie party of the "Siite gen
erally. neither assertion has any Juunda
lion it fact. .
It certainly is cot our purpose nt this
late day to enter into any d.suis-ion as
to the propriety of cnnple':ng the
Western North Carolina R,.ioad, lor
upon this question tbe Democratic par. .
c spnkeo too often, too l.mdlv, uo.i
t'o plainly, to leave any doubt as to its
position. Indeed, the question is no
longer a cause of dispute biive:i par.
ties iu the State, and it is s (ii ic-n 1 1
ky that if there i any one thing io
wnicb tho Democratic party is u!.
iHorouhly and completely c rimii'.u d
in every p si le way it is to tin c m

whether the R om is riyht or whether
the Democratic party is riolit in rrird

q lestion. We therefore proceed to
p iot out at or.'je the errors of asseni in
in this last arraignment of the 1 ono
cratic party before the rieople of North
Carotin
The Room charges that under Demo,
cratic legislation two millions of dolluis
and more of that Suite's money have
been wasted in building the road from
nenry to Asheville. The truth is thin
none of tho money has been wasted and
only 4Ms,G):.!) have been spent under
the h'tjisl ition referred to. Any one
wh i desires may see for liimsel! from
the rt Coids io toe States Treisurer's
ollice that the rxut amount spent
under the a t of H7G inentioned io the

And jast here wa take occasion to cor

saved it money. Within two hundred

Dot the assertion of 'the II torn is ab
surd as we'll as untrue. The public
re:urds show to every one who will ex

the amount of taxes collected h the
State from the people is l,4?(),9'U. 0
ami that doling that lime the cuiienl
expenses of the (lovernine.it including
