FAYETTE YILLE, N..C.
Saturday, February II, 1854.
'';Th Western RaBra4L ,
The, President and . Directors of the Western
Railroad "have been negotiating for some time
,.with V- northern hoase on matters connected
with .the; Road. , The first fruits of this ne
gotiation are a transfer by Smith & Colby of
their stock. to trustees, to be by them conveyed
to the Company whenever the sum of $350,000
shall have been subscribed (including the sub
scription of $93,000 already made) to the capi-
-' . tal stock of the Company by the people of this
- V vicinity. -The President and Directors have
made an arrangement which is 4.o form the basis
, of a contract fortbe building of the Road. By
this, arrangement a northern house of Engineers
are to take the entire contract for building the
.' " Road from Fayetteville to the Coal Mines at
. T the ; estimates Tof the Company's Engineers.
s? This contract includes the building of a depot
and machine shop in Fayetteville, and a depot
i-t the River, depots along the road, as well as
''$110,000 worth of running stock for the Road.
The iron is to weigh 60 lbs. to the linear yard,
v f that on' the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad
. by cfiairs. Tne grade or the Ivoad is not to ex
ceed 30rfeet per mile.
To do all this, the necessary amount of mo
ney is to be raised as follows: $350,000 are to
le subscribed by the friends of the Road, and
$150,000 are to be taken by the contractors.
The contractors are to receive $200,000 in the
bonds of the Company, bearing 7 per cent, in
terest, and payable in 1875. This makes $700,
000, lacking less than $200,000 of furnishing
the amount necessary to pay the contractors
according to the estimates of the Company's
Engineers. This amount is to be raised by
issuing bonds of which the contractors are to
have the refusal. These constitute the most
important items in the contract which we under
stand is to be submitted at an early day by the
President and Directors of the Company to a
General Meeting of Stockholders.
JST" We learn from the contractor, Mr M.
McKinnon, that he will commence running the
line of tri-weekly post-hacks on the Fayetteville
and Western Plank Road, between Fayetteville
and Salem, this evening. The days of arrival
and departure have not yet been definitely fixed.
A Cautiocs Resolution. At a recent meet
ing of the whigs of Montgomery county to ap
point delegates to their State Couvention, the
following resolution wa passed:
41 Resolved, That we have increased confidence
in the principles generally held by the whig
party."
A circumspect set of whigs, they of Mont
gomery. They don't go the entire figure, but
only in a general way. We snpjtose each one
makes such reservations as suits his views best.
Well, this is a very good and honest way of
doing business, and it admonishes whig journals
to be a little cautious how they attempt to
bamboozle the people.
M& On the 2d inst., there was a meeting at
Tammany Hall, New York, of the democratic
"Soft Shell" Committee to take into considera
tion the Nebraska question. Resolutions were
passed by a large majority affirming, 1st. The
finality of the Compromise Measures of 1850 as
a settlement of the slavery agitation. 2d. The
right of the people of the territory to determine
the question of slavery for themselves. This is
on endorsement of Mr Douglass' proviso to the
Nebraska and Kansas Bill, repealing the Mis
souri Compromise. Yet these men are styled
free-soilers, and Gen. Pierce is on that account
blamed for placing some of their party in office !
Large Drove of Turkeys. We learn from
the Salem Press of the 4th that a drove of more
than sixteen hundred Turkeys passed that place
on the 3d inst. They were en route for Charles
ton, S. C, and came from Smith county, Va.
The drove travels about seven miles per day,
and cats up seven bushels of corn in the same
space of time. The crn is strewed along the
road, and the Turkeys in that way toled along.
We should like right well to see this " Turkish
host" (for so the Press facetiously styles it)
marshalled somewhere in the precincts of our
town. We would not. however, vouch fnr tlip
personal safety of the regiment. We think it
would be difficult to restrain the violence of the
masses, particularly if it were ascertained that
the Omar Pacha at the head of it could be
bought over. Caunot the Pacha of sixteen
hundred tails give us a call ?
Bedini, the Pope's Nuncio, whose pres
ence in different cities in the North has been
the signal for popular outbreaks, left New York
on Saturday last for Europe. His departure
was managed so adroitly that the mob did not
get wind of his movements, and he got off with
out any disturbance.
We insert in to-day's paper a communi
cation recommending George Bower, Esq., of
Ashe, as the democratic candidate for Govern
or. Mr. Bower is a gentleman of excellent
sense, great force of character, and wide and
justly deserved popularity. He would make
an excellent Governor.
Democratic meetings in Yancy and Madi
son counties have recommended Col. W. W.
Avery of Burke, as the democratic candidate
for Governor.
By a new arrangement, through tickets can
be obtained at Wilmington for Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. They
may also be obtained at Weldon for Petersburg,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York. The prices of through tickets from Wil
mington to the principal Cities north are as
follows: From Wilmington to Washington
$11, to Baltimore $12, to Philadelphia $14, to
New York $15,50.
The first half of the "nineteenth century was
one of the most . stirring periods in the history
of the world, and it is highly probable that the
latter half will witness scenes and events of equal
importance. Never, before the wars of Nap:
Icon, had the world beheld such a conflict of
mighty powers, such a battling of the hosts of
empires, such ' consummate 'military skill, such
resources and such energy brought to bear in
the dreadful work of war. Then the combined
powers of Europe were arrayed on one ' side,
whilst France stood almost solitary and alone
on the other. Now, however, France finds her
self sida by side with England, preparing to re
sist the aggression of that mighty leviathan of
the North which seeks to lave its sides in the
Arctic seas on the one hand, and in the Medi
terranean on the other. Russia has long ar
dently desired to become a great natal power.
Her situation, and want of good ports, has pre
vented the accomplishment ;f this cherished ob
ject. Casting around her for; the means of sup
plying this deficiency, her greedy eye has fas
tened upon the splendid harbor of Constanti
nople. "Her poljcy has for along time been
tending towards the acquisition of this impor
tant point. It was the " cherished object of the
Emperor Alexander, thefcrother and immediate
predecessor or the present . Uzar. iad -Kapo-1
- ". taiicu n lieu uia n o lu iuto I
particular, Russia would not have gone over
to England, and the alliance ratified at Tilsit
between France and Russia would not have been
broken. Napoleon welt knew that if the Czar
was permitted to absorb Turkey, Russia would
become a great naval power, and soon acquire
such an overwhelming preponderance in Euro
pean affairs, as utterly to abrogate everything
like a balance of power. He therefore, wisely
resisted the overtures of the Czar. The present
war between Russia and Turkey is but the
legitimate consequence of the grasping policy
of the former. Every indication tends to show
that it will not be confined to the two powers
immediately concerned. England and France
have been attempting the part of mediators,
until their patience is well nigh exhausted.
They are now seriously and energetically pre
paring for a tremendous struggle. The advices
by tho Arabia confirm the intelligence of a great
battle at Citale, in which the Turks were victori-
ous.
the Kussians losing lour thousand men.
The effect of the news of this disaster upon the
Czar Nicholas, can scarcely be expected to be
favorable to peace. His nature is proud, his
will is strong, his resources for carrying on the
war considerable. It is natural therefore that
he should be unwilling to make peace under
circumstances so well calculated to destroy the
prestige of Russian arms and to weaken the in
fluence of Russia among European powers.
Moreover, the fleets of England and France
entered the Black Sea on the 5th of January,
for the avowed purpose of protecting the Tur
kish convoys. How can the Czar regard this
but as an interference in behalf of Turkey ?
Will he make peace in the face of such interfer
ence? The thing is improbable. We look upon
a general European War' as c$taiu. Austria
and Prussia have put on the semblance of neu
trality, but will they be able to preserve it ?
They are known to be very much under Rus
sian influence, and the history of the first part
of the present century shows how difficult it is
for feeble nations to preserve their neutrality
amidst the shock of strong contending powers
on either hand. We may, therefore, confident
ly expect a general European war, in which the
leading powers on the one hand will be France,
England and Turkey, and on the other, Russia,
Prussia and Austria. The invincible fleets of
England and France will sweep from the ocean
the commerce of their enemies, and will leave
the fortune of war to be decided on land.
Amidst the general melee, we may look too for
an uprising of the people in Hungary and in Po
land, and in the Austrian provinces in Italy.
But to us the most interesting question of all
connected with this subject is, what will be the
effect upon this country of a general European
war ? Fortunately the great naval powers of
Europe, England and France are ranged on
the same side. We may, therefore, not fear any
serious interruption of commerce, in a way like
ly to affect our interests. The looms of Eng
land and France will continue to require our
cotton, though perhaps to a diminished ex
tent, and the mouths of England, cut off from
the supplies of grain ordinarily received from
Prussia and Russia must be supplied mainly by
this country. We may expect the price of
breadstuff's, therefore, to keep up. Under the
stimulus of the present high prices the produc
tion will be vastly increased, and wealth will
pour in upon the great grain growing sections
of our country. It is feared by many that the
effect of a general European war - will be injuri
ous to the cotton interest. Should the price of
cotton fall too low to make its production pro
fitable, the South has abundant channels into
which its industry may be advantageously direct
ed. The production of ugar could be greatly in
creased iu Florida. Texas and the other Gulf
States, whilst the pine forests of North Caro
lina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida offer
inducements quite sufficient to absorb all the
surplus labor of those sections respectively.
Moreover as a grain growing country th? South
is not surpassed by any retrion in the world. We
have, therefore, abundant reason to congratu
late ourselves upon the exemption which we are
likely to enjoy from the evils which will afflict
the less favored nations on the other side of the
Atlantic. Our great study will be to "preserve
our neutrality. Fortunately there will be no
inducement for England or France to provoke
our hostility. They will be as desirous as we
of preserving the friendship now happily existing.
Under prudent management, (such as we have
reason to expect from the present head of our
government,) we have nothing to fear.

Pray tell us how many said they were 'in ja
ror of Gen. Dockery, and how many said noth
ing but kept up a mighty thinking? " "
The Argus says in reply to our remarks upon
the whig meeting which was held here on Tues
day week last,
"We (the whigs) are united and nnited we
mean to press forward boldly and fearlessly,
advocating the people's right to amend the Con
stitution in a Convention of the people, rather
than by partizan polit icians and the whig meet
ing would so have said but for an omission."
Well, supposing the whig meeting had so said,
it would not have pronounced any new or start
ling doctrine. We are not aware that any body
has ever yet denied the right of the people to
amend the Constitution in a , Convention. The
Constitution of North Carolina provides two
methods by which it may be amended. One is
by legislative enactment, ratified by the popular
w -j a a Vjf
vote at the ballot box. The other is by adoniT'
vention. The Arcrus may go on as lonjr aswt
chooses advocating the people's right of amen
inr the Constitution in a Couvention. We sha!
never deny that right.
But what we chiefly note is the forgctfulnes!
of the whig meeting in omitting to say some
thing in favor of an open Convention. That
was one omission. And if the resolution recom
mending Gen. Dockery had not been pressed
upon the meeting, we should perhaps have heard
that the failure to recommend Gen. Dockery
was purely an act of omission!
Notwithstanding all that may be said by whig
prints, we believe there arc many respectable
whigs scattered all over the country who would
look upon an open Convention with distrust. It
is a delicate subject, gentlemen; we commend
it to your careful handling.
Mr Gales, of the Raleigh Register, has
procured a Montague & Boardman Power Press
to print the Register. It throws off about 800
copies per hour. This is another evidence of
improvement in the press of our State. We
wish friend Gales all pecuniary success.
If the people of North Carolina wish an able
and independent press, it behooves them to eu-
courage enterprise and reward diligence by sub-.
stantial marks of popular approval. Our whisr
friends have appreciated the importance of sus
taining their presses, and, we are sorry to sayj
it, have, generally speaking, shown more liberali
ty in this regard than the democracy. Why
just look around for the proof of this. You see
in North Carolina more whig papers than demo
cratic, and generally speaking, they are better
supported. Yet we know that the number of
democrats iu the State is greater than the n tim
ber of whigs. We have no doubt that the
secret of whig ascendancy iu North Carolina
for so long a time, has been the absence of pro
per encouragement to democratic papers. The
election is fast approaching. Much depends on
the result a Governor, twro Senators, and
Free Suffrage. Then we say to the democracy,
circulate democratic papers. Give the people
the means of being enlightened. AH will then
be right. - . : - -. j
" We think it very probable that a strenuous
effort will be made to incorporate the Wilmot
Proviso in the act organizing Nebraska; but we
do hope that the present Congress " will not dis
grace itself by indicting so great a wrong upon
the South. As President Pierce however, is so
stronjr a friend to the freesoil faction that will
insist upon the proviso, we shall not be surpris
ed if he favors the disruption ot the - late eora
promise. We are prepared for anything now a
days." Ashcrille Spectator.
The above is a specimen of the manner, in
which the whig Press is accustomed to treat
the Administration of President Pierce. The
intelligent editor of the Asheville Spectator
thinks that President Pierce will co-operate
with the Free-soilers in procuring the passage
of the Wilmot Proviso! And yet the President
is known to be favorable to Mr Douglass' Bill
for organising Nebraska and Kansas, in which
there is a clause repealing the Missouri Compro
mise, which is but another name for the Wilmot
Proviso. Both the Missouri Compromise and
the Wilmot Proviso work the exclusion of
slavery from the territory of the United States
by Congressional legislation. And the President
who favors the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise, because it unlawfnlly prohibits slavery in
the United States territory, is to be held np as
likely to favor the Wilmot Proviso! If this be
not rank injustice, we know not what to call it

tion, and while we all have the right of exprcss
inef a pri'f"ppi ln gl.milrl lp our candidate,
please allow me to express my preference thro'
your paper and suggest the name of Col. George
Bower, of Ashe. Col. Bower is personally and
favorably known extensively in the western part
of the Stalttml he is known by politicians gen
erally in North Carolina., He has been a mem
ber of the3tegislature for the last twenty years,
first in the. House of Commons, next in the Se
nate. His name has been on nearly every dem
ocratic electoral ticket during every Presidential
canvass in" Jforth Carolina since Gen. Jackson
wns Srrt fe??eI-Pnisldcntf the Uni ted States;
and Col. B.'has always been regarded by the
democratic party as .a bold, fearless and able
advocate and faithful defender of the political
principles they " cherish. The opposite party
also know him well they know him to be just
the gentleman that
" eara jo.mask. and shuns no question'
In a4it'cai discussion Col. B. has few if
any equals; he is what the people style a self-,
made man, having had scarcely any advantages
of education during his youth.
He haswuys Been-a democrat of the Jeffer
son and Jackson school. His" good sense he
is not a common man--the high grade of in

the aid of twenty years experience as a member
