V?9 bats learned that the ' V managers of this Road hare'of late laid down in thick ieary bar Iron, about ten miles of this Road: say from Gaston to Littleton, and if funds could be had to bring it on to .this Depot, it would soon make v enough ta pay for the whole line of 85 mile.

Tne Road cost somewhere about $1,500,000. and the State bought it at the very low price of a Vmt $383,000 a great bargain indeed, to it and if fat in proper repair, which by all means ought to be one as soon as possible, it would pay off the debt, and soon after pay a good profit The grading of thU Road cost more than the Sute gave for the whole Bead, and if once laid down with this strong iron, . -would then be little expense. iThe State then, and all, are deeply interested in " finishing out this end of the Road, say from Little ton to the Raleigh Depot. Our enterprising Presi dent and Managers would soon lay down the heavy railing, and then, as u Enterprise" has suggested in -his CvmmunicaUo'n, the Charter of a Road from Ra leigh to Charlotte could with great propriety be ask ed i and also an Eastern Road from Wilmington, by .Weyneeboro, to Raleigh, to connect the whole ; and the Southern or Columbia Road will also be in pro - grass, The credit of the Sute is amply sufficient to . accomplish these all-important improvements, and to " iasae State Bonds, from fifty to one hundred thou ivsnd dollars at a time, as the work progresses, and provide a small fund to pay the interest, as required the principal redeemable in twenty or thirty years. Capitalists would soon be found to take the tsonas. ron the register. Charlotte, X. C. ) October 7 A, 184S. Ma. Editor It is very much to be regretted, that the Campaign for the Old Hero has not been carried on in the most active manner. We hsve the best reasons to believe, that the most encouraging re sult would have followed the exertion of our utmost strength, against the enemy; and certainly the nu merous accounts from abroad are enough to inspire a fall belief in our complete success. Had Mr. Clay been selected as our Candidate, I have no doubt but that such a whirlwind of enthusiasm would have swept from the mountains that even the most au dacious Loco would not have raised his head against It. His name would have been the mighty charm to 'bare dissolved the icy bands of indifference, and all , opinions would hate flowed into our deep channel, te bear him to the highest station an American may aspire to.

Among them was the following : " ZesoardVThat whenever the Government of the United States shall acquire any territory by conquest, cession, or purchase, in which slave ry shall not by law exist at the time of such con quest, cession or purchase, it would be repugnant to the moral sense of this nation, and a violation of the clearest duty of Congress to permit the institu-' we are gratined to see that sn interest is ta tion of slatery v in any form to be Introduced therein: ken in lhl8 matter by some of our citizens, and Gold Fever in California.

Two thousand whites and as many Indians are said to be now engaged in washing the sands. All labor of every other !nnd has stopped, except a little farming. Mechan ics, doctors, lawera, merchants, sailors and sol diers, have all gone in mass to the gold region.

We are gratifiedlo lesrn that the proepecta of oar road are brightening, and that its condition is even better than before the unfortunate consump tion, by fire, of the Raleigh Depot. The work shop has been substantially repaired and furnish ed with sll the tools and machinery requisite to carrying on operstibns. In addiiin to-thie, the Road has purchased e or two aplendid new en gines, which contribute not a little to the facility and rapidity of transportation. - - " ' This eesson. our merchants hare received their goods with nearly double the usual .despatch, with little or no detention at Gaston or delay on the way. Every case ol cotnplaiot thst has been investigated, throws the blame elsewhere. We think the Officers of the Road deserve much commendation for their strict attention to busi ness and prsiseworthy exertions in its . behalf. The worthy Treasurer. W. W. Vass, Esq., in forms us that the receipts for the last current month exceed those of the former by some 815O0! While Ihfs is encouraging, it is a source of mortificstion and regret, to know, that after all ; the Road must go down without aid from the Leg islature! Surely our Assembly will not permit this loss this disgrace to fall upon the State. We can't we won't believe it, The intelligent and enterprising of both parties are anxious and willing to prevent uch a misfortune, snd we hope and trust that they will go to work unani mously, and, with hearty co operation, unite in relieving it of the embarrassment under which it labors. "'Tis true it has cost individuals much ; the State has also expended a great deal upon the enterprise ; but this is one of the strongest reasons why it should still be sustained. It would be unfortunate, indeed, if, after all the care and treasure which has been bestowed upon it, we should suffer it to become a DEAD LOSS ! Again, although our citizens have lost entirely to the amount of stock taken by them, we con tend that that lows has been more than recom pensed by the increased facility for trade and travel? whi'-h the road has afforded them. Pro perty, too, has increased in valu, and intercourse with distant cities snd marts has given us more correct ideas of business, comfort and luxury! This benefit is not confined to sny particular class or occupation. The whole community has reaped incalculable benefitFarmers, Merchants, Tradesmen, Mechanics, Laborers. And yet, strange as it may appear, those very men who have been most profited by Rail Roads are the most prejudiced amongst us. Let it be recollec ted that it is a fixed law in Political Economy that whenever an individual honestly grows rich, the whole community is benefitted, and where in dividuals prosper, the State is proportionally en riched. This, then, proves two important truths, first, that the whole community has been bene, fitted, and secondly, that the State has grown more opulent. It must be so, since those who objectthe most to Internal Improvements, sllege that they benefit one class to the impoverish ment of another, and we know this is false. But let us lcxk at the proofs. The amount that a farmer or merchant saves a year in the dimin- iahed freight of anv one commodity is almost in- credible. Take for instance the single article of O iron or salt. Be lore our Kail Koaa was duiii, sail sold in this city for $5 per sack. Now it can be purchased for $2 35, showing a balance in favor of the consumer of $2 65! The farmer, if any man, is inconceivably benefitted. His goods iron, salt, tools, coffre, &c. are cheaper, and a cash market is open for the produce ! But why multi ply cases? Most of us are convinced of the im portance of the subject, but few are willing to take the respohibiiity to put our shoulder to the wheel. Citizens of Raleiqh citizens of North Carolina J awake to your interests and to your duty! It is a question of importance how this is best to be done. The best and onlv mode we can con- cei ve for securing the permanency of our Road is ... r. . . i . to extend it. Rut here we are again involved in doubt as to the point to which it had best be pro longed. This matter can best be sell led by the Legislature. Perhaps, however, it may not be amiss to consider, briefly, some of the suggestions that have been made on this subject. Some propose to extend the road to Columbia, S. C: This would doubtless secure the travel, forming a central. Metropolitan route from Bos ton to New Orleans. But while it would give employment to our Hotels, it would drain the State of its productions and throw all the gain to Virginia on the one hand, and South Carolina on the other. This would be the' third line running through the State from North to South. This would be a serious objection to the plan our in ternal improvements should extend from East to West, throughout the whole length of the Slate from the mountains to the seaboard. These two sections would then be united their interests would be common, and petty jealousy and section -al prejudices would vanish into air. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished. A plan, better calculated to. accomplish this desideratum, is to build a Rail Road to Fyette vi lie and a Turnpike to Buncombe. We might thus build up a sea port town of much commer cial importance, and open a market for the pro ductiona of the West. But the very best (in our opinion) suggestion we have"" yet heard, is to build a Road FROM RALEIGH TO GOLDSBOROV This would save the RALEIGH & GASTON ROAD ! It would make a general depot of RALEIGH ! It would give to WILMINGTON the Commercial importance of CHARLESTON ! And it would in all probability be the means of connecting Ra le gh and CHARLOTTE by RAIL ROAD ! The WHOLE STATE would thus -receive benefit Our people would become more EN TERPRISING our resources would be drawn out and COMMERCE AND MANUFACTU RES. AND AGRICULTURE would prosper in our Borders! inai an auverusemeni nas oeen puuiisneo in me Kegieter notifying the Legislature, that at its ensuing meetings petition will be presented for chartering a Rrad from here to Goldsborough. Wonder if the Stockholders on the Wilmmgion Road would permit this Road to be laid with the iron, dz-c. which now constitutes that part of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road lying between Goldsboro' and the Junction 1 They would gain by it in the end, and it would form a cheap and effectual mode of saving BOTH of our old Roads. VVe must conclude these brief and hasty re marks, by hoping those of more experience and information in this matter will take it in hand, and let us see the Old North State take that stand among her neighbors which it is her DUTY AND HER PRIVILEGE TO TAKE !

Davis, although avowing that, as a mem-, her of the democratic oartv, he should cast his vote for Cass and Butler ta November, paid one of th0 moat thnllingly eloquent coin plirnentaj t? old Rough and Ready, which we ever listenea th. He- said he had known that great and good nhl nSan lonr and well, and had 6een"hini in the most ttrvins and critical occasions in which it was possible for any man to be placed; but said he, that man of iron nerve, unbending honesty, and devo(cd patriotism, always proved by the result that Be possessed talents equal to every emergen cy. jCol. Davis's description of the battle-scene at Boena Vista was so brilliant and life-like, (hat we fancied we could see old Zach on the battle field the night after the engagement, when, in answer to the importunities of his staff to retire to rest the old hero replied, he' could not think nf abkndonin? the eround. and leave his dead and wounded between himself and the enemy." In alluding to the proceeding of the late Con irress; he " refe-red to the history of the legisla- tton on the subject of the territories, to 6how that the South must hereafter look to herself for the protection of ber rights ; for said, he, 'the day has Dassed when we can any longer rely upon our nnrthprn allies" to aid us affainst the efforts of fanaticism. He said he was one of those who had heretofore believed that Mhe northern demo cracy were tho natural allies ot the South,' but the vote on the Oregon bill had dispelled the il lusion." In connection with this subject, Col. D. con. tended that, without the interferunctf Congrees, the South could never Darticioate in the settle ment and colonization of New Mexico and Call- fornia; and scouted the idea that the inhabitants of these regions should be permitted to decide the nupKtinn. whether domestic 6laverv should, or - ------j - - - - j - hould not. be tolerated within their borders. He seemed to look upon the proposition as a mon strous absurdity, and in this respect, differed as widelv from . Cass' views, as John C. Calhoun himself" We commend the foregoing extracts to the at- tftntinn of the democracy as entirelv worthy of their consideration and reflection. Col. Davis is a most thorough and decided democrat, one whose ODinions are looked to with great interest in Mis sissippi and the Southwest. He is therefore sound upon the question of Southern interests and rights. and will not, we presume, be subjected to the oe- noxious charge of treasonable designs against the South on the question of Slavery.

The People are certainly becoming aroused to the importance of the conflict, and the result of the con- i - test in 1840 teaches what the Whigs of North Car- olina Cfln d hen tb ,abor energetically and spir J jk ni 7- We have now not the shadow of a doubt, bul .V.. A 1J sill tmnlv An hei but that our good old Commonwealth will amply do her part in swelling up the majority of the Hero of Bu ena Vista ! Our distinguished Senator, the Hon. George E. Badger, left this City on Thursday last, with the view of attending as many gatherings of the People as he can, between this and the day of the Election We notice also that Senator Mangpm will address several of the gatherings. From such powerful as sistance, the most salutary benefit to our cause must result. ARE YOU ORGANIZED? In less than three weeks from to-day, the great battle for Liberty is to be fought. Wbigs ! are you ready f The enemy is zealously and ardently en gaged. The edicts of party have been pronounced, and every man belonging to the Loco Foco Party has been told bis duty. While there are many in dependent Democrats, who will disregard the blind injunctions of party and rally to the support of the Defender of their Country, it is indispensably ne cessary that you should go to work, in order to avert the machinations of active and unscrupulous oppo nents. While they are distributing Newspapers and documents, are you following in their wake to re move the erroneous impressions they may make, and nail to the counter the falsehoodjs they may assert? Have you put on your armor, prepared to meet the common enemy on common ground ? Every Whig voter is required to do nis duty He has a deep interest in the prosperity of the Coun try. The measures for which the Whigs contend are calculated, if carried out, to replace us in the old Republican track travelled by Washington, Jef ferson and Madison. In view of this, every Whig is morally bound to see that his vote and that of his neighbor, are safely lodged in the ballot-box 1 Freemen ! Lovers of your Country are you or ganized?

The " Courier" gives to the worli the names of those who, to effect a political gWb have coNsriRED with the Abolitions of thj North ! These men are Southern (?) Cass men and office-holders, and the election of their candidate ii the object they desire to effect, by courting and aid. ing these vile fanatics in their crusade against South, era rights and Southern institutions. This sehem (says the "Courier,") projected months since, has u. sumed various ramifications ; and in order to cou. nect the whole matter properly, it refers to the ac- tion of Jacob Thompson, Member of Congress from Mississippi, Col. Boone, of the Mississippi State Senate, and Joshua R. Giddings, the nolo. rious Abolition Member of Congress from Ohia- What a combination! An Abolitionist, bitter in his hatred to the South and every thing Southeri conspiring with two leading Cass Democrats of the South, to defeat the Southern candidate! The " Courier" publishes an j extract from the speech of Giddings, made before the Buffalo G on vent ion, is reported in that strong Democratic paper, the Buf falo Republic, of the 11th of August, 1848. Herei the extract. It shows as clear as sunlight, the mutt, al understanding of the parlies, in order to defeat Gea Taylor, by any means, however foul u I will tell you about another letter, written bj Col. Boone to the Hon. Jacob Thompson, member of Congress from Mississippi. I have the words of Mr. Thompson for saying lhat Col. Boone's integri ty was never doubted and never will be denied.- He said to me that I was at full liberty to say he, Mr. Thompson, fully endorsed him as a man of truth and unsullied honor. It will be remembered that Col. Boone waa one of a committee of im de puted by the legislature of Mississippi to invite Ga Taylor to visit that body. The conversation detail. ed in the letter was had in the presence of thatcoa mittee, two of whom were Whigs. These Whip having seen the letter in print, have suffered it ti pass as true and correct. . CoL Boone says in tb letter that Gen. Taylor expressed himself in favor of the war and of prosecuting ft until we could ob tain territorial indemnity, and that the SOUTH OUGHT NEVER TO SUBMIT TO THE WIL MOT PROVISO!! Do you believe this? I know you will admit its correctness While Gen. Taylor, or his Whig friends Who were present and heard the remarks, dare not deny its accuracy, you will give credit to Col. Boone's statement. And if any Taylor men undertake to say that he is opposed to the extension of slavery, just ask them to get Gea. Taylor's denial, or the denial of his friends, of th statement of this letter." Well may the "Courier" exclaim "Triumvirate of infamy, whose course should be " embalmed in bate . and canonized by scorn !" AM ississippi State Sen' ator, a leading Cass man, the chairman of a commit tee of the Legislature of that State, appointed to wait upon Gen. Taylor al his own house,' to invite him to accept the hospitality of the State, croteto Thompson, a leading Cass member of Congress, that Gen. Taylor had, during their interview, given nt terance to the opinions noticed above. This letter was handed to Giddings by Thompson, and wasbj him paraded before the Buffalo Convention of dem ocratic abolitionists.' Southern men, what think yon of the alliance ? Slave-holding Cass men and north era abolitionists "fraternising" to defeat the noble old hero, whose heart is large enough to embrace the varied interests of the whole Union, and who " engages in no schemes, no combinations, no intri gues." In order to follow up the connection bet wees these two parties we now call attention to another hranfth of thia secret orcanixation. It seems that certain men. professing to be Southerners, some tune s , since, procured a certified copy of Gen. Taylor' deed to his land and negroes in Jefferson county, Mississippi, from the Probate Clerk of thateountj and the assessment of taxes upon the land and nt groes from the Assessor, and forwarded them Northern Abolitionists who published tbem w disgraceful comments; Thus have soutnem held up the simple fact of Taylor's being a slavea der, as a ineana and with the view to injure as pun a man and a true patriot aa an American sun er shone trpon. The " Courier" publishes the deed, as well as coo or.f. nAo. k tin. Abolition mints.
