wherviu the Kdlirents of the whole cir-
euit a.sscmbled to terminate, by legal ccn-

Caldwell, and the bri!liant Solicitor, Gaither;

The Pleasant Gardens. Hear
ing bo much said of these beautiful retreats,
daring our stay at Marion, last week, we
took occasion to ride out one evening as far
as Col. J. L. Carson's, at the confluence of
Buck Creek and the Catawba, about three
miles freru the village. Though the weather
was ghxnny, clouding to some extent,! the
delightful scenery which surrounds 'this
Mountain " Paradise,' ye.t'the sweep of our
vision took in enough of the landscape to
impress us with a measure of the rural felici
ty which variagated flower gardens, and
' tastefully arransred thrubberv. and verdant
stn ams, and green hills, and the tips of blue
Mountains away in the distance, are calcula
ted to impart.
The dwelling of Col. Carson is commodi
ous and well arranged, standing in the cen
tre of a spacious green lawn, enlivened by the
low murmurs of Buck Creek rippling around
the walli of the enclosure which, under the
j direction of a lady of unsurpassed taste, has
J been checkered all over with a profusion of
j choice shrubs and rare flowers, so arranged
I as Ui display their beauties to the be.t ad-

Hon. T. L. Cllngman vs. Badger & Co.
On the 8th inst., Ir. Clingmart who has
undertaken to unmask the Haleigh clique,
and expose the corruption of the whig re-
; gency in North Carolina, who have proved
i unfaithful to the institutions of the south,
i appeared before the citizens of McDowell,
and conclusively showed the unsoundness of
j whig doctrines as taught by Badger & Co.
After an able defence of his own position, as
a Western Carolinian, planting himselfTup-
which have always been contended for by
the democrats on the subject of slarery, and
repudiating whiggery as shadowed forth by
Badger & Co:, he announced himself a
candidate for Congress; and, although he
' ,no I-0!'10 regardless ot all the opposition
threatened by the whig leaders uud:r the
influence of the Raleigh junto.
He referred to the charge made against
him by, those Western members who voted j
for 1
nd thouch he showed no dis- '
O I
iauizer
po-sition to rctalliate upon them, he placed
' . .
Ifculger and all identified with him, in any
thing but a comfortable category.
When Mr. Clingman closed, Gen. Pat
terson, a perfect gentleman in his deport
ment, arose and replied. 'He treated. Mr.
Clingman with due courtesy, though he
made some severe thrusts at his position
i as a candidate before the Legislature. He
wnsneJ ' himself chiefly to the defence of
himgeIf wL;ch he diJ whh abilitj and in
but Le put Jn no plJa for tbe
pp;n;on3 of BaJgcr 0f which, doubtless, he
... n i r
is secretly ashamed. Gen. Patterson was
listened to with respect, and made a favora
ble impressoin upon the audience; though it
was evident the popular voice was with Mr.
Clingman. The rejoinder of the latter which
had commenced with great power, was cut
short. by the appearance of the Judge, to j
resume the business of the Court.
Mr Caldwell took the occasion, 'before
His Honor took his seat, to announce that he
had something to say in reply to Mr. Cling
man ; but that he would embrace some other
opportunity. Mr. Clingman said that he
would be most happy to meet his friend at
his earliest convenience.
Taylorim Sinking. The late elections in
dicate that Taylorism is rapidly sinking into
the obscurity from which, like a mushroom,
it sprung into existence. All the four mem
bers from Connecticut, were whigs in tho
last Congress j now . three of them, are demo
crats and only one' is a whig. " Of thefifteen
members from Virginia,' the' democrats had
but nine, and the whigs six ; whereas now,
the democrats have foarteenVand the whigs
only one, (the Standard ." says, only a Jialf,)
making a difference, in these two states alone,
of sixteen members in favor of Democracy !
If the political complexion of the remain
ing sixty-six members yet to be elected, be
,j,o n nrnh oWnfTTrlrrmninrir
of last Congress, will be reduced to nine ;
and of, these, which are to come from North i
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland,
Texas, Ohio, Massachusetts, and llhode Is
land, the democrats can get but five, the
House as well as the Senate, will be demo
cratic. Who can doubt, therefore, since
Tajdor has so shamefully forfeited his.
pledges, made to secure democratic support; !
and has proven himself so utterly incompe
tent to discharge the duties, of the officerthat
the Republican gains will be sufficient to
save the Constitution from prost rat km by the
Federal leaders who undertook to fcrawl into
power b- assuming the specious name of
irJu'ff, and bv making pledges that tLev
i .
Let the country rejoioo let the South
take heart let the people be congratulated
let Connecticut an dr irginia, that faithful
old van-guard of Jefjforsonian democracy, re
ceive the plaudits of republicans every where.
The false glory of Taylor's military fame has
been obscured Vy his imbecility as a civilian.
He has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting." The people are sending
democrats' to Congress to take care of the
Constitution ; and the thousands of republi
cans who have, from time to time, wandered
into 4he Federal ranks, are returning to co-
. . .
operate with the democrats whose policy is a
faithful adherance to the constitution. We
welcome them to the standard of xluty ;
and, with our whole hearts, we , will
unite with them to preserve this glorious
union from Badger intrigues with abolition
minions, from Anti veto Prnvisuista, or from
any other schemes, that would subvert our
liberties, or establish a privileged order m
America.

opinions :

Sir: As I am an old man, and my wife
has only nine children, I thought of writing
to the postmaster General and confess my
political sins. But while I was writing the

will come off on next monday.

holding the office of postmaster of this vil

hold it as long as you see fit; for you know
it is not customary for good officers to die or

the office, unless it is those that want it
themselves. For my part, I have nothing
to say; for the doctrine is to the victors be
long the spoils. It is true, my father served
almost eight years in the continental army;
and for myself, I served as a volunteer in
the war of 1812, which tried men's souls.
I also nominated General Taylor immediate
ly after the battle of Palo Alto; but he being
n t an ultra whig, and myself not an ultra
democrat, I of course voted for my old friend
Gen. Cass. . ; " --.

RAIL ROAD MEETING IN CABARUS
r COUNTY. !
According to previous notice, there was a
meeting of the citizens of Cabarus County,
on monday of the May term of the Supe
rior Court, to take iutof consideration the
subject of Internal Improvements in North
Carolina, and particularly the scheme Of the
Central Rail Road.
On motion, Gen '1 W. C Means was called
to the Chair. ' '
On motoin Jno, A. Bradshaw was appoin
ted Secretary.
At the request of the Meeting, R. Bar
ringer, Esq. addressed it on the Central
Rail Road project, and reiterated his opin
ions previously made known to the public.
II. C. Jones, " Jos. II. Wilson Dan'l
Coleman, and Jno. M. Long, Esqrs., were
successively called on and advocated at some
length, with much warmth, the objects of
the meeting. The information given by
Mr. Wilson, one of the Directors of the
Charlotte and South Carolina Rail Road, jn
regard ' to the prospects of that enterprise,
was highly gratifying to its nuimrous friends.
Mr. E. R. Harris then offered the following
Resolutions which were unanimously adppt
ted. ' '
Resolved, That the conscqiences of that
policy which North Carolina has hitlibrto
pursued in regard to Internal Improvements,
cannot be to deeply deplored a policy
which has placed her far hchiad her sister,
States in all the elements ot public great
ness a policy which has driven thousands
of her inhabitants reluctantly from her -borders,
and offered no inducements to. immi
gration a policy which, worse than all,' has
kept buried from herself and- the world .the
fruits of her vast and varied resources,! and
that, therefore, we highly approve and com
mend the liberal and enlightened course of
the last Legislature, in taking, the initiative
step to rescue the State from present l-eprpach
future depopulation to awake into life
and activity her undeveloped energies, ; and
and to make North Carolina as eminently
tha seat of future prosperity and content
ment, as she is now the home of law. and
order
Resolved, That the project of a Rail Road
from Charlotte via Salisbury and Raleigh,
to Goldsboro', sweeping as it does the whole'
central breadth of the State, and promising
to extend its arms and its benefits on either
side to the sea-board and to the mountains
unites more nearly the interests of every
section than any plan of State Improve
ment which could have been devised, : and
on that acount should receive the cordial
surmort of ail her mtriotic: citizens: that
nwe believe this project, to which the State
hs liberally contributed her aid, to be cn-1
tiraiy practicaDie, 1,1 met Dy a corresponding
liberality on the part of the people; j and
that w,e 'have no hesitation in saying to
our friends, elsewhere, that when the rime
for action arises,' the people of Cabarus toiU
do tlieir duty towards completing tin's great
enterprise. ' I
Resolved, That we approve of frequent
meetings of the people and free public; dis
cussions on this subject; and, to this end
that forty delegates be appointed to attend
the Internal Improvement Convention tp
be held in Salisburry. in June next.
Under the third Resolution, the following
gedtlemen were appointed delegates, viz ;
Geo. Bamhardt, Dan'l Miller. Jno. Shinpock,

Jos. Bamhart, Daniel Boger, Simon Bbst,
JMathias Barrier, and Jacob Ji. Coleman, j
On motion of Rufus Baringer, Esq. the
following Resolution was also adopted with
entire unanimity. )-.
Resolved, That we commend to the fur
ther favorable consideration of the peoplei of
Cabarus and of Western Carolina, generally,
the success of Charlotte and South Carolina,
Rail Road, and in order to insure its more
speedy completion, we respectfully suggest
the necessity of additional subscriptions to
the stock of said Road. v
On motion the proceedings of his meet
ing were ordered to be published m the Ra
