The q iestion as to whethfr the Stale is yet a stockholder, and entitled to a voice 'in the proceedings, was raised ; and if was decided that the Slate is not yex a stockholder. ' Considerable, debate, some of it" of a very pungent character, was indulged in. The Honorable Chairman advoced. or rath er spoke favorable of the southern route ; but he did so he said, upon information furnished him, and not from any feeling of Hi own in the matter. ' The-second day was entirely consumed in a struggle bygone party to instruct the President and Directors (when they shall have been ! nlprlpiH to ronstriict the rorid over a certain rr)Ue. No one advocated any other route than ,,e northern, except Col. Morriso'rj of Moore, uho very earnestly and zealously fpoke. about an hour in favor of the middle rolite by Car- thige. - So that the whole discussipii was, not as to which route, but as to the time when said riH,fe should be fixed and adopted. So the )pted. i'mectins adiurned again without conclusion. On the third day. Friday, a set of resolutions : were introduced, which' after varipus amend ! ments Col. iorrison and others,' were pass- ed with almost entire unanimity one dissent j ing voice. The two important resolutions are i as follows : t Resolved, That in the opinion of the Stock- iiuiuci 111 tfciieicti iiicciiii" ujjiiiiuH ui tut- most eligible route for the contemplated Plank Road, is w hat is called the Upper Route cross ing Little River at or near-Murchispn's Facto ry, ihcnce to Deep River, at: or near Watson's Bridge, or by Carthage, and.lhrongh the coun ties of Randolph and Davidson to il3,termina tion. Resolved, That the PresiJent and Directors are hereby instructed, to have both .theippejr and middle routes examined by a competent engineer ; and soon : as ' sa'id examination is completed to or near the village of Ashboro or Franklinsville, in Randolph county, then the said President and Directors shall proceed with all convenient despatch to locate the said .Plank Road on that route which, in the opinion of the j engineer, with the concurrence of "ihe -Presi. dent and Directors, will be the most advanta 1 geous to the interest of the Stockholders, and ihe State. - - ' T (& " Potomac" of the Baltimore Patriot has perpetrated a cruel joke upon some office-hold-crs in Washington, by republishing the pro. ceedings of a meeting held; last fall,. at which one was President and the others Vice Presi dents and orators. 1 ' - We copy two or three of the resolutions, 1 1 which sound funny at this trrrc of day, and no doubt make those gentlemen feel qneer ! ! Resolved, That we congratulate the Democ racy of the country upon the brilliant victory now foreshadowing itself which is to crown their efforts in the present canvass- a victory over Federalism in its most: dangerous form- that of concealment of principles and false pre- ii-nucs, ciiH-i aooiiuoiMMo, ue ally of Federalism,) which U now raiding its iainciu.il n.u.u agauiM our common country, trie Lonsmuuon -ana pur glorious union.

The atjove richly merited compliment I to one off our most distinguished repre sentatives in Congress, wo clip from the ! Raleigh Star. We fully coincide with our contemporary, and so, wo believe, ; does the entire press of North Carolina. Mr. Barringer occupies in the feelings of the pcbple of North Carolina, a posi tion second to no man in the State ; and ; we know of none who deserves better of his fellow citizens and his country. lie has faithfully and honorably repre sented the ' Old North' in Congress for the four orsi.tyears.and never yet, that we wot i of, have the poisoned shafts of calumny ! been directed against him. His position in the hearts of his countrymen is too ele- vated he is too pure, too honest, too no ble ; the slanderer sees naught at which to aim hte envonorned dart, and his envy changes jo admiration. He is honored and esteemed by his po litical opponents as well as by his friends, and we do not believe that he has an en emy in the round world. His course in Congress has won for him a reputation which would be sulii cient to satisfy more ambitious men. and which will yet receive additional lustre, as time rolls on. A more mod'est, unassuming gentleman in his manners, we never knew, and we doubt whether there ever lived one more honest, upright, polite and .noble hearted. That the appointment of Mr. Barring er as minister to Spain, or some other for eign Court, would be hailed with general satisfaction throughout the whole Country and with peculiar gratification by 'North Carolinians everywhere, wc feel well as SUred ; and We do humbly trtlSl that the appointment may be tendered him.

Taylor, plays two tunes only the one entitled "Proscrip tion," and the other "The King can do no wrong;. As regards the first, the tunc-is changed, while the name is unaltered. While playing fulsome laudations to Pres ident Polk for his inexorable proscriptions, and indulgiagr in hysterical ltlbilatums over the remorseless "head cuttings" of the Whigs, proscription was a tune to which the Locofocos danced with frantic enjoyment. But now the organ has sadly changed the tune. 44 Proscription" is now a most Solemn, mournful, monotonous, whining chant, a funeral dirge, instead of blithesome, dancing melody. As regards the second, the tune, is un- i .1 l n ; changed, although its preans to the ' one- ( man power are less uiiperrrti, u luinpuaiii. ! an ranturous.

CALDWELL, Esq The reader will find in to-day's paper, a handsome j tribute to the worthy; gentleman whoso name head this paragraph, from the good citizens, the Grand Ju- ' rors, of his County, Iredell, touching hia qualifications ; and. suitableness to represent this District in the next . Congress of the United States. It has been known, 1 for sometime,, that Mr.. Caldwelx. is a candidate for this place ; the Hon. Nathaniel Bovdex, having, at an early day, (much to the regret of ourselves and his friends generally,) declared his purpose to decline offer ing for re-election. So far, there is no opposition to Mr. Caldwell, that we have heard of, from either part'; and as wc ; believe it would be difficult for the ' Whigs to find a more able or better qualified candidate, so we shall rejoice to see them heartily uniting in his support. HON. D. M. BARRING ER. This gentleman passed through our Town on Mon 1 day morning last, on his way to Baltimore. He had designed spending a few weeks longer time in North Carolina, but the health of Mrs. Barringer, who is so journing with her friends in Baltimore, becoming quite delicate, Mr. B. found it necessary to hasten thither. 1 !.

The snow fell rapidly most of the time, but melting on , pouching the earth. The trees, ahnst in full leaf, and the ehubbery and flowers of the gardens retained it, however ; and these, and nature generally presented a most singularly unnatural appearance while it so cm tinned, which was for several hours after the storm had ceased. The latter part of the day was fair and windy, ; and the night very cold. I Killing Frost. Monday morsing arose, on a scene far more serious in its effects : A heavy white frost, s equal to those of a December morning covered the ground ; and almost every thing that could freeze ; was completely stiffened. The Fruit of every deecrip- j tion has perished: apples, peaches, cherries, plumhs, grapes, &,c, all killed ; and in the gardens, the beans, squashes, poiatos, early corn, cucumbers, &.c, cut down; and the leaves (if many of the forest trees are now rat ling in the breeze like-so many bits of dry paper. The wheat crop generally, is not far enough advanced to have sustained maeh damage, though in some few in stances It is certainly injured. !Vciv York City Election. It is truly gratifying to the Whig party of the whole Country to know that this election ha resulted in a complete triumph in their favor. The plotting, caucus ings, coalitions and bargainings of the Locofocos, Free- sorters and Aholtionists, UI proved vain. The Wash- . . . . I ....... .ti. ........ i. . . i. l .. I . . . I . r .

But they all deceived themselves with a vain hope, and have at last come to the know ledge of an overwhelming defeat. Below will be found the particulars of our victory in this Election.

Mr. Wood hull, the Mayor elect, will hold bis office until the 1st of January. 1S."J. Messrs. John Duer, Wm. YV. Cnmpbell. and J. L. Mason are chosen Justices of the Superior Court, and Edward E. Cowles and Jas. Lynch Justices of the Marine Court. In Brooklyn the Whig victory is equally complete and brilliant. Edward Copeland (Whig) is elected Mayor by a very deci ded ma jority over the highest of his oppo nents. The Whigs have twelve or thir teen of the eighteen Aldermen, and have elected Jesse C. Smith City Judge, and Truman Smith (a name of good augiirv) Police Justice, although the opponent of ; each was upon three separate tickets. for!
