But we take the liberty of stating the fact, that Mr. Senator Hay wood, who gives " form and pressure " to the Democratic Party of North Carolina, introduced the bill authorising the subscription of $600, 000 to the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road. That Messrsi Edwakds, Hexrt, Sauxders, land others off the most distinguished of our citi zens, were prominent supporters of tlie Inter nal Improvements of our State, and are as re sponsible as any others for all involvements at tendant there en. We record this to their praise. It shows that n this instance, at least, their love for the honor Jthe interest and prosperity of the 44 Old North ! State," overcame all considera tions of party 4 availment, either in the presen or in the prospective. And although we know that thesejneh will go great lengths for party, as most people will, we cannot believe that they will recede from their high and honorable ground, so fair fas to give, public sanction to the base appliances of stump demagogues in the Congressional, Election. .

Who, he asked, usec sijks, gold chains and jewelry ? the farmer or the city dandy ; and he held out the idea that the poor paid all the taes. Nothing was said that the rich man with his 50 or 100 negroes used the same articles that the poor did and paid these enormous taxes, -and this too over and above paying the duty on their wines and silks.

I i Now, he should not complain ot this as a man has a right to dos he pleaseswith his own. We are told he has got so much Indian land he can. make presents too,. Mr. Fisher next referred to' the annex ation of Texas. He asked the people if they knew how important Texas was to the South. It was necessary tp give more power by creating .slave States to cope with the North. He stated that Texas had been acquired by the purchase of Lou isiana and by the treaty of 1819 between the cause of losing so important a part of our territory it has Deen cnargea upon iur.

In referring to the charge against the late Mr. Bates he said he stood so fair as a man of unblem- ished character that Judge Huger, of S.

We believe Mr. Barringer's re marks carried conviction to the minds of many of the people pf the truth that the Tariff is beneficial to the poor farmer as well as the rich manufacturer. He next referred to the Annexation 'of TexaSi He said he was in favor of its ad mission if it was constitutionally done He was opposed toTylePs Treaty, be cause it left the question of slavery unset tled and agreed to pay $10,000,000 of her debt when there was no surety that the. lands in 1 exas were not all covered bv former claims. He was opposed, he said, to the joint resolution because he believ ed that step was also unconstitutional. He thea referred next in order' to the Rail Roads; He said he was not in the Legislature: in 1836-'37 when the subject was started. That in that year Mr. Hoke, Mr. Henry, Mr. Marsteller and several others of the democratic party had taken active steps towards aiding the internal improvements of the bfate. That in 1838 he was not in the Legislature, but that at an Internal Improvement.

He replied that he would send him some documents, and that he would send him a Primer. We left the election ground together, and on the way I mentioned to the General that I felt amused at the idea of his send ing Jernigan a Primerfrom Congress. AH r said the General, -SUCH FEL LOWS OUGHT NOT TO BE ENTI TLED TO VOTE."
