The Central Rail Road Meeting- A large and
highly respectable number of the citizens of tills
town, convened in the Court! House on Saturday
evening last, according to previous aprxintment.
After the due organization of the meeting, Mr
rJflTOv rose, and addressed the same, in his usual
j
.happy and eloquent manner. He descanted upon
the. great advantages, both in a moral, political, and
pecuniary point of view, to be derived from the con
struction of the Central Rail Road; compared our
qreat State, to-the disjointed-members "of a giant,
with no unity of actjon, split up by little local politi
cal jealousies, and deplored the impending ruin which
threatened its importance, from emigration, &c. The
crator described in glowing terms, the great enthu
siasm which prevailed upon this subject .in the West;
viewed it as the happy instrument, whereby the va
rious conflicting interests of our citizens, would be
united,, and, as calculated to produce that oneness of
of the District, for the selection of an Elector on the
Jackson Ticket. We hope to see a full attendance,
on Saturday, of both town and country citizens, and
that the mode of nominating; we have suggested, will
be, for once, at least, adopted. The tijnes require
men of talents in the Legislature, and the respective
merits of those nominated, can be openly and fairly
discussed belbre the People.

The Swash. It appears that all the bright expec
tations in which we have heretofore so fondly indulged
of the speedy removal ol this obstruction to our navi
gation, are to be disappointed, or at least very much
deferred. When the Dredging Boat arrived here
last fall from her operations during the summer, we
expected that the repairs she would require would be
completed during the winter, and that upon the open
ing of the Spring, the operations would again com
mence aided by an additiouil and more effective
Dredging Boat from Baltimore. But so far from
this, the Boat here, is lying still ; there is no prospect of
thecoming of another from Baltimore ; and the Spring
is passing, a way, with scarce a hope of any thing be
iiifdcne. We have heard that the cause of this de
lay is the want of funds, or rather an appropriation
from the General Government. Although opposed
to appropriations by the General Government, except
fbrobjects clearly of i National character, we can
not but regard this work as being so largely oi' na
tional importance, as to justify Congress in the ap
propriation vet, we must confess that, this hanging
on upon the bounty of the Government for the -miserable
pittance of a few thousand dollars, to complete
an object of such vital importance to our State, is, to
say the least of it, disgraceful. When the Spring has
passed away,-iherc may perhaps be a donation of
$22,000, to aid -poor old North Carolina in digging
We disclaim nullification. We go for what we have
long gone, a Conventionif need be, a Southern
Convention to state our wrongs, and to obtain re
dress. But if SoMhCaroh should resort to nulli
fication, Virginia will be loth indeed to send a man
or a musket for her subjection. She would not."
The views expressed by Mr. Ritchie are not only
in accordance with our own, but we can say confi
dently, that should South Carolina resort to Nullifi
cation, North Carolina would be loth indeed to send
a man or musket for her subjection She would not
No she would not; and may the arm of him be
palsied who -would raise it against our brethren con
tending for their violated rights. The manufacturers
may jeer, and gibe, but they should not; presume too
far. North Carolina, as a sovereign member of this
Confederacy, had the high honor, unpretending as
she is, to be the first to declare her independence,
and she will not be last to maintain it. The Tariff
is a system ol" plunder, and oppression, and the ma
nufacturing States know it to be so and if this go
vernment be dissolved, let the curse of posterity rest
on them, not on the heads of those who refused to sub
mit to' iio withering1 influence.
The Cotton was owned principally in Augusta, feo
rapid was the progress of the flames, that only ten
bales were saved from the building.
A circumstance occurred at Savannah, mwinr
out of the late heavy loss by fire in that ctty, which
may be of intetest to the buyers and sellers of Cot
ton : On the 13th inst. Mr. Joseph Cumming, bought
of Mr. J. Ganahl, 100 bales of Cotton, to be delivered
the following day; the bill, agreeably to invoice,
was made out and rendered that night.it was de
stroyed by fire. The case was arbitrated by six cf
the "most-respectable merchants of that city, who de
cided that tie rendering of the bill determined the
sale; and that from that moment it was at the risk of
the purchaser.
Of the many speeches which have been delivered
in the Senate the past winter, in relation, to the Tariff,
few .have been characterized more for eloquence and
power, than that of our Senator, the Hon. Willie
P. Mancum. The Kentucky j Senator, is routed on
all tacks. Many Krtion's of 31 r. Mangum's speech,
are really beautiful. In one place, speaking of the
Tariff he says truly, "It is rapidly becoming a naked
question of Liberty. The sentiment is growing in
the South, and I trust it will grow more and more,
that we will wear in our hearts no love lor any ad-

our State truly great. In the course of his remarks,
heKiid, it fell to his lot, to be in Washington City in
the year 1813, (Mr. G. was then, we believe, a mem
kr of Congress,) when Gouverneur Morris and De
Witt Clinton arrived there, buoyant and elated, with
t vdiat was then deemed, a vfiid and visionary project,
cf digging1 aCanal from Lake Erie to Albany. They
s ibnutted their plans to the most intelligent members
. nf Congress, among whom, were some of tlieir best and
Wannest friends and admirers; but they were viewed
isthe creatures of a wild enthusiasm, and as being
entirely too notional, to be subjected to the test of
nictieitl operation. He "then showed that thediiK
cdfics and opposition, which were encountered in
'i.e progress of that great woi l;j were almost i:is0r
nountablej r when compared with those attendan-
.pon the cotisti Scti-in of the Central Rail Road
Ho then spoke of the great resources of out State
relativo importance, as a member of the Union,
a;ul attributed the not calling into action the former,
the riisignificance of the latter, to the want of a
honre market, tlie facilities of transportation, and the
:rte interchange of sentiment and opinion among its
citizens. He then X)in-ted to our own " deserted
wharves aud dismantled shipping," contrasted our
present conditicmrwifch the once happy and prosper
ous, times, when on? merchants, mechanics, and citi
zens, were cheered wiu. the "enlivening hum of bu-
aincHs," and reaped reward worthy of tlieir Iabouj-s.
He concluded by expressing t;is firm and settled con
viction that the Central Rail Road must succeed if
. properly conducted, and urged upon our citizens,
hc great necessity of putting their shoulders to the
self- that he would urge this policy no farther, than
he believed the great interests of the country required,
and that he was wholly incapable of abusing it either
tof acquire' or retain power. In a word all belie ved
him to be an honest man firm patriotic ptnu fear
less. This is the fortress of his strength The hearts

Cholera in DubUn. A highly repecialle medical
gentleman called at our office yesterday, to state, that
two cases of cholera have occurred in this city. The
first case he mentions was that ofa poor man. a labor

day, ina lane of Summerhill ; ami the second case is
that ofa poor woman who had washed the body of the
deceased, and was taken ill at 3 o'clock yesterday.
This woman was seen by several medical gentle

A number of the passenger arrived in the Robert -Fulton,
yesterday from Louisville, who furnieh the
following particulars. The Hudson and Brandywine
left New Orleans to make a trial of epeed. The lai -ter,
previous to the accident, had been obliged to lay
to an hour for repairs. A considerable quantity of
rosiu was thrown in to make a quick fire when starr
ing. The sparks set fire to some straw, in jvhich u
number of carriage wheels were wrapt. The wind
was blowing fresh, and snread the flame3 with awful
frapidity. The yawl was sunk by the boat, which
they endeavored to run ashore, but she grounded at
some distance in nine feet water. The mate, who
deserves honorable mention, took a line in his mouth,
and succeeded in reaching the shore, rescuing by his.
timely aid a number from a watery grave.
The whole number of passengers i9 variously esti
mated from 200 to 230. The number lost cannot be
correctly ascertained, as we understand a number
floated down the stream for a considerable distance,
and were finally rescued. The number on the Island

Mr. Editor It has beerf a subject of .congratuia
tioii to the public that the Editor of the Sentinel ha
openly and independently avowed his determination
to support the Hon. Philip P. Bai;i:oi;r, of Virginia,
as the Jackson Candidate for the Vice Presidency,,
That P. P. Barbour, is eminently qualified for the
high and important station, no one will doubt who i
at all conversant with his commanding talents, .de
voted patriotism, and intimate acquaintance with the
Constitution of the United States. That he is the
only man who can unite the vote of the Southern.
States, -appears to be the opinion not only of all who
,ire friendly to the present Administration, but pt"
thoseilso who have waged an unceasing war against
it, from the time it came into power, to the present
moment. There's no one poi at .of policy that Mr
Barbour has pursued or likely to pursue, that does nor
coincide with the established policy of the Southern
States. Almost every intelligent man, South of the
Potomac, is in favor of a strict and rigid construe
ti .i of the Constitution; ofa repeal of burthens,
impot. jd on us Ly the operation of the Tariff and
the abandonment of the iniquitous system of Internal
Improvement -by the General Government. If such
thert is our policy, where is the man to be found whs
can so effectually unite our strength and promote our
views'? Mr. Barbour has always been a consistent"
Republican, and has rendered himself conspicuous
for his zeal and devoted nes3 to the best interest of hi,
country. We firmly believe that his elevation to the
Vice Presidency would have a powerful tendency to
reconcile those States that have been most loud in
their denunciations against the course of policy put
sued by our. Government" in relation to the Tariff, and
the more -abominable system of Internal Improve
ment. It must be evident to every reflecting raind.
that Van Buren cannot obtain tbe vote of this. State,
while there is any other Jackson Candidate hi nomi
nation. We will not stop to enquire whether the
prejudice against Mr. Van Buren is founded on n
just estimation of his qualifications, and the course
he has pursued in politics; it will be sufficient to ob
serve, that such is his standing in this community, n
is almost impossible for him to receive the vote of
North Carolina. It was under these circumstance,'
that you avowed your preference for P. P. Barbour,

No man, however, will exult jnore than I, should a
satisfactory adjustment of the tariff take place this
session, and the State be freed from the necessity
of acting in any way to relieve herself. It would
indicate a state of public sentiment ol the most
cheering character. But we have been too often
deceived to have confidence in such an occurrence."
The Editor of tlie " Greenville Mountaineer" depre
cates a Disunion of the States in the strongest terms
and paints the consequences in the most affecting
manner : But, says he, if the Southern people think
it better to incur all the dangers of the revolution,
to undergo all the evils of a civil and servile war, and
to risk the consequences, be they what they may, in the
name of God let it be so. Or, if the People of South
Carolina are willing to enoracre in such contest sin
gle-handed and alone, it is to be hoped there will be
no recreant coward or traitorous spirit within her
bosom." Such will probably be the language of al

London, March 24. We feel the sincerest plea
sure in stating that yesterday (appointed by the Go

people bowbefore his foot stool, acknowledging int-u
sins and deprecating his wrath.

This inference cf our .correspondent, is gratuitous.
The only remarks made by us on the subject, are
contained in our last number, and they do notauthoi -ise
it. Without presuming to know Mr. Van Bu

the nomination of Mr. Barbour by the Convention
