PostcripN in our last, the al- I f State William Hill, Sen. Da3s f17 ffnr the election of Attorney Tie last "Standard? fioundttra at a terrible rate, m an. exceedingly labored article, the Tain object of which is to divert th jas censure of the People from the recent course of the Democratic party in the organization of the Legislature. The article in question is characterized, however, by the usual perversions that mark the Editorials of that paper, though destitute of their wonted ingenuity if that i.ideed may be so designated, which nnfairness prompts and recklessness skilfully executes. In commenting upon the organization in the Sen ate, the Standard7' omits to notice the fact that the Compromise was resisted by the Democrats of that Body under the cue at the Senator from New Hanover. By 'way of giving a plausible strength to its position, however, it declares the Compromise, that was proposed by Gen. Patterson and adopted, to be the identical proposition submitted a few days before by its own party. If they originally tender ed any such Compromise in good faith, why did they not U sppt it v1iea there was' a probability of its being effected ? Did the fact that it emanated then from a big determine them against it im pressed as they were (or ought to have been) with the sense that real conciliation was demanded, by all the considerations of the case, at theit orvn hands? Or did "glittering prizes rise before their vision and hopes of getting all and leaving the Whigs no thing17 cause them to persevere in their course of per tinacity? Why too (the "Standard'' designedly suppresses this fact) did they reject the offer of the cation at another, offensive threatening again, abuse and denunciation still again, turmoil and up due agitation and all the time, i mischievous tone of feeling tluse, to & considerable exteDt, have wrought the work. A more conciliatory spirit and more temperate behavior would do much towards extinguishing the flame. Faction must expect to be met by faction. As for North Carolina, she will indignantly re fuse all participation in these initiatory attempts at a dissolution of our Union. Among the first to ap preciate its blessings, she will be one of the last to for sake them.

The Editor has entangled himself. He should be more careful in taking his positions, or the deception that he intends will be met by the indignation it richly merits. We maintain again that the late conduct of the Lo co Foco members of either branch of the Assembly is to be weighed and justified or condemned by the con sideration do they, or do they not acknowledge the doc trine oj instruction 9 Now it is one of their favorite dogmas that the Representative is bound to consult the will of the majority and obey their instructions, express or implied, This then involves the question in a nut-shell. The "Standard" ia forced to confess and has admitted, after a deal of wishy-washy eva sion, that North Carolina is a Whig State a decid ed Whig State. With invariable and clear majorities, ranging from .800 to 8000, ia our favor, was it to be expected that we should concede everything to a mi nority ? The proposition is absurd. Will that ma jority whom these Democrats, in part, represent sanction such resistance to their own will ? The expectation is foolish and vain. But, asks the " Standard," was it fair or just that the Whigs should have all the Officers ? Be that as it may it ought to have been expected, that their con ciliatory overtures would not have' been rejected in Caucus, and afterwards attempted to be refused (thanks to rwoindepeudent Democrats for the failure) in open Senate ! It ought to have been expected, as . . . J 1 . ... Charles' reign again, he was a Monarchist and ocrats, (if any there be) representing strong Whig Counties and Districts, would obey the well-known and oft-expressed wishes of those that sent them here. By a different course of conduct, they have shown themselves faithless to the trust reposed in them, and for such dereliction an account mast be ren dered. If such reasoning then be adopted, as it must rightly be, how inapposite and out of place is the parallel which the "Standard'' attempts to run be tween the present course of Mr. Dobbin and that of Col. JoyNE, four years since. TIic Pkople the ma jority, whom he was faithfully representing tri umphantly vindicated his action and that of the Whig party at the succeeding election in 1846. And with this same Pearls, are we willing to refit the verdict of this issue now convinced, tnat just so certain as such things as intelligence, justice and right exist, they will find the Loco Foco party of the present Legislature, guilty of having wasted their money, misspent their time, and misrepresented their wishes, all for miserable purposes of party elevation and petty schemes of party power ! evil. But with reference to the remark that the "idea is entertained by thousands in North Caaoliun," that Mr. Badges is not safely to be trusted on the question of the Wilmot Proviso, we have only to observe, that among the thousands" spoken of, we doubt not too many are influenced by other motives than conviction of judgment, and, like the Editor of the " Standard," would be glad to drag him down from the envied position as a Statesman, which he occupies before the world. It is not proper that we should express any pre ference for any individual. Our Representatives in the Legislature will arrange that matter among them selves. ,But at the same time, we have never doubt ed for a moment that the rights, interests, and hap piness of the people of North Carolina would be as securely trusted in the hands of the Hon. George E. Badger, as in those of any man within her borders! We'assure the Editor of the "Standard" that he is greatly mistaken if he supposes that we could be ve ry much " aroused," by any such false charges as the one made in reference to Mr. Badger: and the people have learned by this time how mcuh reliance is to be placed on his predictions and asseverations. Movements in South Carolina. We have thought upon the matter, until the con viction has fastened itself upon us, that almost as much is done in particular portions of the South to keep alive the fanaticism of Abolition at the North, as is accomplished even by the most zealous of its votaries there. The tery principle of self-defence prompts to a retaliation on their part against the ve hement invectives of those many Southern men, who are constantly imagining peril where none exists, and using language or concerting schemes for which no necessity prevails. ' These reflections have been immediately suggest ed by certain late movements in the State of South Carolina that wink strongly toward disunion. A kind of Conventiaa. hc been held the formation ef a "Southern States' Right Party" recommended and the idea of a Southern Convention suggested. The Preamble and Resolutions adopted upon the occasion are moderate enough in tone, it is true but it needs no deep discernment to detect beneath this placid front, much strong and excited feeling; like the buoy floating upon the surface, it betrays where the anchor is hidden.. We are confident that when real or imminent danger threatens our insti tutions, there is scarcely a man among us who can prove recreant or faithless, but we trust that there are but few ready to follow this sickly-sensitive policy of the Palmetto State. Has not the result of the recent Presidential Election conclusively demon strated the present inefficacy of the Free Soil fac tion? What other end than a -dissipation of its own strength has it been able to effect? How has it presaged that momentous and appalling danger, that the fancies of this prurient "Chivalry" have conjured up? We repeat the belief that this same State of South Carolina has been one of the main in struments in giving an alarming importance to these movements in the Free States.

The Jong reign of political expediency, selfishness, intrigfe, &e is at lost drawing to a close a reign so long, that many of the. thinking and the grave among us had, with regret and humiliation enough, the conviction forced upon them, that political ele vation was impossible unless supported by time ser ving, and a yielding of the mind, and prostration of the soul to the dictates of party. That fearful spell at last is broken, and we feel prouder of our Country now that the Hero is elected, and prouder of the people, for there mutt be something of the Heroic in those who earnestly choose A true hero to reign over, rule or guide them. The result has been so sure to theee who have noticed the signs of the times and had faith in the people, that they do not fee the exaltation of many, and smile at the wondering dis appointment of otaera; but there is a deep feeling of gratitude to the anseen Powers above uu, who have raised up the man, and put it into the hearts of the people to set him as a "light on a hill that cannot be hidden," and not even a feeling of pity mingles with the contempt for those who are " passing away, paHjWAjt 4"a the Place and Pf wer they have so abued. - , Hisjheel, whom they orderedto march on and odd tojtheir glory, has crushed their heads, yet some of thei shrank from their position.

There is an unwritten as well as written his tory ol that War, which will never perhaps see the liglit, jut it often pleases the Almighty to bring good fiom evil and one result of it which has just been a tained, apart from the better governing we shall li ve, is pregnant with light to those who are beginning to loose fuith in man s ability to govern quietude m that quarter, I must be permitted to. draw your attention to things whieh are facts. The greatest element in the prosperity of a pro ducing Country, is an outlet to market for its sur plus products. This" commercial truism has become uairne, aa mat otiier one : Without a market surplus products are valueless." This great inrre dient of success and prosperity, the Eastern poiticn of the State has always enjoyed in a far greater de gre, than the Western. I need only instance her navigable streams the Roanoke, the Chowan Tar Neuse to Smithfield Cape Fear to Fajm$ f0" ,T.h.!e8team have afforded in mast season fine facilities for getting Turpentine, Lumber, Tar Corn, the staple productions of this section to. -marl ket. This is a fact so notorious that no one will deny it. But if nature has been remiss, and has not done all she should havedone for Eastern North Caroling the Legislature has given it two Rail Roads, the Gaston and the Wilmington roads. Yes to the natural facilities afforded by navigable streams have been added the artificial and more safe, speedy and cheap conveyances afforded by Rail Roads; and if under alt these circumstances, the East has not prospered, it has net been because its surplus pro duct could not find their way to market. I will .not stop to enquire, whether it tas flourished w uoV nor to argue with " Yadkin" whether the Roads aoove alluded to should receive more aid from the State; but gentlemen, 1 wished your attention to this palpable fact: that the East has been enjoying comparatively enviable facilities for getting it3 sur plus produce to market, and by that contrast, to show that the West has never yet shared any ad vantages whatever in this respect. Now, sirs, look at the West. Are any of its streams navigable? No all of the most impor tant of its streams, have their sources in that section, and are so obstructed with rapids, shoals and falls, as to bid defiance to the enterprise of the Navigator.

We Were a little too sanguine, last year, when we started our first Steamer, the Washington, on a vis it to Brother BulL We thought we had beaten him in fighting, and governing, and in sailing Packets and River Steamers, and, of course, supposed that our Ocean Steamers coulcPnt help doing the same thing. But alas forour vanity, we have sent a second, and a third, and are still behind. For the. present, at least, we must acknowledge ourselves beaten. Not but that wethjfte done very, well, for a beginning. We have haano absolute failure, and have made some capital trips; but our sin was bragging before the race had been won, and hence an undue disap pointment is felt at the result, alt ho it is all that should have been really expected, with the slight experience we have had in the business. The hulls of our Steamers are stronger, the Cabins more ele git utly furnished than those of our competitors, and the passengers better fed. The difficulty lies, so far, , in the mnchinery not being powerful enough; and that, with the experience of partial failures, we hope, and the builders confidently assert, will be overcome in those now building. Those which are looked to with most interest at present, are the Ves sels of E.JC. Collins', for the Liverpool trade. They are being built in the strongest possible manner, and are of immense sise, being nearly 3000 tons burthen, the largest merchant Vessels in the World, with the exception of the Great Britain. It is feared by some that this immense size will be a drawback that it will be difficult to make Engines powerful enough to drive them through the Water rapidly and rapidly they must go, or do but little business with such a successful and wealthy opponent as the Cunard Lineone that will run a direct opposi- LtoitfMmij awt prohohly in yodiKiing Lh bbcw.

The Opera is in the full tide, and this time we think. 0 successful experiment, for fortunately it is under American management. Those foreign mel odists lire so udder the influence of caprice, impulse and passion, that as much dependance can be placed en thetr actions, if unrestrained, as on our weather. Mr. Flpjr, the new manager, has them under very binding contract, and under his auspices the season opened with a monster Concert at the I abernacle, or as it is facetiously called, "riale's 1 ub," a capi tal place for a large audience and ready money, but a miserable one for music. At this concert, one of the principal vocalists, Madam Pico, from some ca price of the moment refused to sing, and the iron rule of the manager had its first opportunity of dis playing itself the capricious songstress having been forthwith struck from the Roll. The Opera House not being quite ready, the entire company was ta ken to Philadelphia for a week or two, to open the season there. The first night passed off with a full house and much enthusiasm; the second came, aud Madam Truffi partially broke down in a new Role, Annoyed, a little unwell, and from other causes, she ftfeCifct Jam wenor retusea ta sing me next rugai. No Oners was ready for the other leading singers, i and the properties, dresses, c. were in New York, a hundred miles -away. The manager immediately engaged an express Train of cars to bring on the properties. The leader drilled and rehearsed, the Base Sioger undertook a part that he bad never sung before, all the extra hands that could be em ployed were put on, and at eight o'clock the new Opera was ready, at an extra outlay of some two thousand dollars. In the mean time, these facts had become known amongst the " Upper Ten," of Phila delphia, 4nd the House was crowded to its utmost capacity Every thing went off well, amid enthusi astic applause. The Prima Donna, madame Laborde, was loaded with boqaets, and the manager presented the Basse Dubrueil with a diamond ring, or so readi ly risking' his fame in a part so unknown to him twenty,faor hours before. The refractory ones soon came to their senses after this exhibition of .energy and determination, especially after receiving the re buke frefm the Public of the half empty bouse at their benefit a few days afterwards. The idea seems U have been, that the Italians, although they had lost the control of the Opera, nominally, had combined to keep it in point of fact behind the scenes ; but thathss been pretty essentially vetoed, and they are JSr4;3inging here to brilliant audiences, in har mony apparently behind the scenes, as they always are before them. Yours truly, . f. c. fers a travelling route for Tennessee and K entuekv j horse, cattle and hog drovers, driving their stock i principally into South Carolina.

In another number, I will attempt to shew that the Legislature cannot, without laying itself obnoxious to the charge of partiality, refuse the Charter in ques tion ; and make an endeavour to answer some of the objections that have been urged against the erection of the Western road.

Da. WISTAR'S BALSAM of WILD CHERRY. It was known many years ago that the wild cherry tree of this climate possessed valuable medicinal pro perties. Indeed this fact was known to the Abori- j gines, and a decoction of the leaves or bark of this j tree has ever been regarded by their physicians as one of the most effectual remedies in many disseases. This fact, several years since, arrested the attention of Dr. Wistar, a highly respectable practitioner of Virginia. He investigated with a care the healing properties of the wild cherry tested its effects when administered alone, and when in combination wUh other remedial agents. He found that its natural virtues might be greatly improved and by combin ing it with ingredients, whose properties were well proved and generally recognized, a medicine was j produced which constitutes a remedy of great value j in pulmonary affections, and diseases of the chest j and throat diseases which are proverbially preva- j lent in our cities and large towns, and often prove fatal, swelling the bill of mortallity to a much great er extent than is the case with most others, we had almost said, all other classes of diseases.
