what, in our opinion, ; is the true cause, we" will la
conksally allude to that to which it can not be as
cribed. It is not from any natural deficiency in her
soil or climate. Within her soil is embowelled a
larger and richer supply of Mineral wealth, than in
any other State in the Union, and her climate is the
most salubrious, perhaps, in the United States. It
is not because she has been afflicted by any dreadful
calamity from Heaven, and which renders the culti
vation ot her soil, or the developement of her re
sources impossible or impracticable. What, then.
are the causes that hate retarded improvement in
North Carolina, and thrown her so far. behind her
sister States, and given to her the soubriquet of the
Rip Van Winkle of the Union V- We will pro

One great cause is to be found in the fact, that her

ploits on the : political field, have so daisied their
eyes that they could not see the crown of honor and
glory held out to them by the ( Manufacturing,
Commercial and Agricultural genius of their State.'
Another cause is found in the prejudices, hitherto
manifested by the great mass of her citizens. They
could not or would not see the utility of any great
enterprise which might be suggested, to advance her
prosperity. While the States North, South and
West have employed the proper means to bring forth
their natural resources and capabilities, and are con
sequently on the road to prosperity, her people have
looked on with a wondering gaze, and attributed the
liappy results to some mysterious dispensation of
Providence. And many of her citizens, impressed
with such a belief, have deserted their house-hold
gods, abandoned the homes of their fathers, and
wended their way South-west, to seek their fortunes
in States not blessed with one-half the natural ad
vantages of their own.
Another fact which has tended to impede her pro
gress, and which probably grew out of the two pre
ceding, is, that in her past . efforts at improvement,
there has been no general plan or system. Her ve
ry greatest efforts at advancement heretofore, seem
to have been so many plunges deeper in the mud.
There has been wanting that general connection be
tween her improvements, which are absolutely in
dispensable to make them truly useful or profitable.
And now, when the first hindering cause is par
tially overcome the secoud fast giving away before
the light of truth, and the third entirely removed

in the Washington papers, between Ex-Senator

the latter very broadly insinuates'the.assaisinatitm,
orsomelhig worse, of the former, if he had been
successful in defeating him for U. S. Senator. Gen.
Shields, in a subsequent Card, however, denies
that he intended to convey any such idea ; but we
must say, we have never known a man to attempt to
escape from a wrong course, more ungracefully than
does Mr. S. in his Card in reply to the exposure
made of his conduct by Mr. Breese. The Card is
as poor an affair, as the Letter to Mr. Breese was
unjustifiable.

We learn by the w Wilmington Commercial" that
on the 22d ult., a large number of the citizens of
Wilmington crossed the river to celebrate the com

road. The Assembly was addressed by Dr. Hill,
who afterwards removed the first spade full of earth.
Messrs. Wright and McR.ee also addressed the peo

present. We see it stated that the grading of a con
siderable portion of this road is now under contract,
to be pjajdfor id stock, an thai it is highly proba-
contract on the same terms.
03 Among the acts passed by the present Con

UT General Taylor, the President Elect, with a
large company of other invited guests, was hospitably
entertained at Dinner on Thursday, at the Presi
dential Mansion, by' the President of the United
States. The interchange of courtesies between the
outgoing and the incoming Chief Magistrates, we re
gard as highly honorable to all concerned.
We learn from the last u HHIsboro' Recor
der," that the Rev. NiJjIemiah HARbins, D. D the
distioguised Presbyterian Clergyman t Milton,
and formerly a resident of thirCity, departed this
life on tbetfth ult., after a brief illness. The Obit
vary notice shall bate place in our next.
Republican, pregnant with truth, and breathing a
patriotic spirit, accords fully with the sentiments
always entertained by us in regard to indiscrimi
nate proscription of ofbee holders.
The Spoils system is an abominable one. It
is the product of democracy, and it alone is enti
tled to the credit of its parentage. Let us put it
down, by sowing the seed tor another crop, but
by destroying ii, and let the country see that the
Whigs are, in deed as well as in word, opposed
to the inderent, inhuman, and anti-repubilicau
maxim 44 To the victors belong the spoils."
But what then do the Whigs gain by a change
of rulers 1 Why, good government for the coun
try, which has been the only object the masses of
them have ever desired to gaiu. Tliey obtain a
President who will respect the lawis ; who will
not seek to enlarge the executive power ; who
will watch carefully over the honor and the peace
of the land, never irdujgng in schemes of person
al or party ambition and territorial aggrandize
ment, which will involve the country in foreign
wars or rend it with the throes of civil discord.
The President can do no more. But is not this
much, when we reflect what bloodshed and waste
of treasure; what j usurpation and monarchical
sway, that sectional animosities, rocking the Re
public to its bane, one incompetent and selfish ru
ler may accomplish.
If, besides a wise administration, we need good
and wholesome laws, for these the Whigs must
look to Congress, and primarily to the ballot-box,
where, if they do their duty, they may elect men
who will legislate j for the best interest of the
country, in the full assurance that the action of
Congress will not be negatived by the Executive
veto, unless it is rash, hasty, or ar violation of the
Constitution.
What are offices in comparison with -these bles
sing! Mere trash, which will not be the object
of a party i which comendajmly for truth, for frgtv
dom for patriotism, for the public 'good.
