Wo present to the. readers of the
Post to dsy the; very admirable argu
mcnt of Hon. Wm. T. Dortch, of Golds
boro, agaiiast the calling of the legisla
ture in extra session, and in opposition
to the apparent purpose of the Demo
cratic party1 leaders to eacrifico the
SUte and the interests in the, Western
North Carolina Railroad. f
The Post never would make any
work of internal improvement a parly
matter, and it will not do so1 now, but
with Governor Jarvis, his official fan
. ily at Raleigh, and his Democratic
Congressional! advisers at .Washington,
thi business is simply and purely a
puty question. Mr. Dortch, however,
'does not so view it, aud, perhaps; the
most pronounced Democrat of them all,
looks at the Subject as one of Norlh
Carolina interest.
We ned not' review Mr. punch's
argument, his remarks are ef ample
force and scoje. We invit an atten
tive perusal and study of the facts he
h:s set forth in his very conclusive ar
gument. We see no reason why the state should
be inhaste to sell this public work,
unless the approach of the great cam
paign renders it necessary for the Dem
ocratic, party to "have a clear deci lir
action," 'as the Oxford Torchlight, one
of their organs, put it.- We have ob
served that they always want something
for every campaign, and we well re
member that in 1875 they took on this
deck-load of the Western North ,Caro
lina Railroad to puMheir cenvention

- ,.-0 , . ;
western Repjiblicans of the legislature
to vote for the call, in March of that
year, that through, altering te Consti
tutioiv thev might give better state aid
to the completion of the road. In like
manner they obtained votes fwr rati d
cation of the OoLBUtutioual Amend
meuts in 1876.
The ugly look of this Best propor
tion U its great haste. . Beat can't wait
till January next and lt people have
that time to think of it. He even
threatens that if his proposition isn't
Attended to at once, be will go into

As fctroug as Mr. Dortchi makes all
these points in his conclusive argument,

One of the most1 cherished : ideas of
the Democrats were; that our national
debt should be treated as is that of Ehg
land as a debt never to be paid. The
Republican party has ; always said,
"Let us pay . tb at debt -as soou as we
can. it is sounu imanciar ana ecouo
mical. policy to do JtQ.",, Senator, Toliu
Sherman devised the piau, and Secie-
tary Sherman has carried it cut. Under

The wisdom of such a pplicy.11 plain;
B$ pay ing our debt our credit is en-
hanced. By this policy Secretary Sher
man has been able to save millions of I
dollars te the people in the' rate of in
terest alone. He has reduced our great
national debt so much that the 2 that
stood as the left hand flffure, when
naming the total, has been changed to
all. When this magnificent reduction
was announced the Democratic press
comnieuceed a general chorus of sneers

Said an Ohio Member of Congress, in
an interview last week, "Mr. Sherman
will certainlv have tho entire Tote ofpsum up to a total estimated cost of $9,-
