They enunciate, said he, principles up on which th' perpetuity of this Country depends ' the principles of George Washington. Mr. i. F. 'Caldwell, also, responded to the question of Ur. Avery, lie said it was not to i1 i!i-'uised that Messrs. Cass, Douglas and Seward, and other politicians at the Jorth and Xurthwest, favored tho doctrine of intervention; and that by appealing to tho foreigners who have settled iu this-country, they may make up a strong Party iu favor of it. In the South men of but h parties could unite in opposing the doc trim', and it was important that they should enter their solemn protest against it. Jli-. Collins spoke briefly in answer to tho in tpmv'iuion. and in regard to the consumption of time. All truth, -said he, in one sense, was nn abstraction. All the rules which govern our actions, are, in themselves, considered abstrac tions,, but must thoy, therefore, to discarded i Xiie adoption of these resolutions, as express ing the voice of a Sovereign State, would have influence for good. Mr. 0. said he understood gentlemen when they complained that the res olutions consumed the time of tho House it w.h an old trick. But for their opposition, tho ijiiestioi) might have been taken upon them on l'iid:iv List. i, 'K Mr. Burton said he did not lchow whether the resu'.utioiii had been introduced for political purposes or not he had not been informed. Bat a distinguished gentleman from Chatham, Or. Brantley, he believed, was present, and he moved that he be invited to address the House. Tlis Speaker called the gentlemau to order. The question was then taken upon the mo tion to postpone, and it did not prevail. Mr. U itu jh ufrered aa amendment, as a pro vise, that nothing contained in the resolutions nhould be understood as a denial of the right of this (."overnnient to intervene between Spain and anv other i ivcriiment to prevent a trau&fer oi Cub:i from its present ownership. Mr. Amis opposed the amendment. He said the policy of this Government with regard to Cuba I. ad longbecii settled, and was fully known sineo the Mnre a?i:iinitration that no other foreign power should LJlJ it except Spain. This propi'siti"!!, tLertflre, had nothing to do with tbe j: 'inciplvs declared iu the resolutions of the gentleman iVom i'avidson. The only effect that the auiciidniont eotild have, if adopted, would be to excite the jealousy of England,; and other foreign powers; and to prevent any negotiations on our part to purchase it. If, therefore, the Gentleman from Stokes, (Mr. Waugh,) desired to iUMiiire Cuba, he would advise him to with draw tbe amendment. Here Mr Avery inter- rupted, ami asked if the principles declared iu the resolutions, were carried out by our Govern meat, wo would not bo prevented from intcifer wg in case England should attempt to wrest Cuba from Spain? Mr. Amis said ho had a short answer for the gentleman, and that is no. That stod upon very different principles. The law uf luuiuiis would clearly justify us in resis lilig ibis. Mr. A. argued this point at some length. When he had concluded, Mr. McNeill moved that the House adjourn; which was de cided in the negative yeas 20, navsTl.

The Speaker announced the unfinished busi ness of yesterday, viz : the bill to incorporate the Atlantic and North Carolina Kail Iioad Company. Tho pending question being on the amend ment of Mr. Jones, Mr. Bynum called for a di vision of the question, and the vote being first taken on striking out, was determined in the af firmative yeas 44, negative, none. The question on inserting the sume of $237, 500 was now taken up and decided in the affirmative- -yeas 24, nays 23. Mr. T. F. Jones moved further to amend the bill by adding the following words: after the word company in the 12th line, and after the remaining $150,000 " shall have been paid in to the Treasury of said Company, either in cash or labor performed on said Road and accepted by said company, then the Board of Internal Improvements shall subscribe in behalf of the State for the said Company another $237,500. Which said amendment was rejected. The question now recurred on the passage of the bill on its second reading, and was deter mined in the negative yeas 22, nays 25. So the bill was rejected.

Mr. Woodfin moved that the bill be laid on the table, w"hich motion was disagreed to. Mr. Bynum moved that its further considera tien be postpone 1 until after i past 3 o'clock to-morrow, which motion did not prevail. Mr. Caldwell moved an adjournment, which was disagreed to. Pending the debate, oil motion of Mr. Gilmer, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Wednesday, Dec. 15, 1852. .The journals having been read, Mr. Reid, of Duplin, said that a wrong entry had been made upon the journals in stating that he and others had refused to vote upon the resolutions which passed the House last evening. He therefore moved that a committee oi lour be appointed to inquire into the matter, and report to the House that the journals may be corrected. Mr. R. M. Saunders moved that tha names be erased from the journals. Upon this motion considerable discussion en sued, in which Messrs. Webb, Saunders, Puryear, D. F. Caldwell, Waugh, S. P. Hill, Dobbin and McDugald participated. Mr. Dobbin said he was absent last evening, when this vote was ta ken, attending, a part of the time, a conference with some of the committee on the Lunatic A svlum, and he of course knew nothing of the facts in the case. But he thought it best to dron tho matter now, by general consent ; and he had confidence that the Speaker would make ; tho journals correct. I Thereupon the gentlemen withdrew their mo- j tions; and after a personal explanation by Mr. j I). Reid, in which he stated that he was not j within tho bar of the House when the question was taken last evening and a general consent j givcu that the name of Mr. McNeill, of Robe- j son, might be recorded against the passage of the resolutions the further consideration of the matter was laid aside. ' The Speaker announced the special order, viz : the bill in relation to the county and Su perior Courts. On motion ofrMr. McNeill, the billwas indefinitely postponed yeas71,nays4j. On motion of Mi Avery, permission was giv en to the Committee on Internal Improvements i to sit during the sessions of tho House ; and on j motion of Mr. Saunders, a like permission was granted the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Williams, of Warren, moved that a mes sage be sent to the Senate, proposing to go into the election of a Senator at 12 J o'clock to-day. Mr. Tripp moved that the motion bo laid upon the table ; which was decided in tlnvnegative yeas 53, nays 59. Pending the question on the original motion, The hour having arrivea lor executing the Joint order, the two Houses proceeded to rote for a Solicitor in the first Judicial Circuit. Messrs. Brooks and Jarvis were appointed to superintend the election. Mr. Brooks, from tho Committee, reported result as follows : W hole number of votis cast Till iinf)0Hrr tt a r!i(.i.a AT,. V, "NT Smith received 85 ; Mr. Lucius J. Johnston 73; Mr. Willi ams 3 ; Mr. Smith wras duly elected. The unfinished business was resumed, viz : the motion of Mr. Williams to vote for Senator. Mr. Spruill opposed tho motion, and moved to amend by' substituting 12 o'clock to-morrow ; which motion prevailed yeaa 57, nays 55. A message was received from the Senate a greeing to the proposition of the House to vote lor Tru.teesiof the University and a Senator ; and proposing to go into the election of Attor ney General to-morrow at 1 o'clock which was concurred in.

The bill to incorporate Catawba Collego was laid upon the table. Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, said he hoped this vote would be reconsidered. The College was to be established by the German Reformed Church, a highly respectable denomination of christains, and they already had funds collect ed for the purpose. As it was the only College that this denomination bad in the State, he hoped that they would not be turned over to the County Court to get a charter. The motion to reconsider prevailed, and the bill passed its 2d and 3d reading. - Tho hour having arrived, the two Housea pro ceeded to vote for four Trustees of the Univer sity. Alessrs. Waugh and Adams were appointed to superintend the election. The bill to amend the charter of the town of Salisbury ; the bill to make the bonds of the State, issued on account of the Fayettcvillo and Western Plank Road Company, transferable ; the bill eonceruing the Reports of the Supreme Court ; and, the bill to extend the time for reg istering Grants, Deeds, Jcc, passed their 2nd and 3d reading. . The House then adjourned. n.itirn ii,... ir, isr.'- Seaton Gales, Esq. Dear Sir: There is published in the Standard of to-day, an extrac t from the letter of a Raleigh Correspondent of the Fayetteville Carolinian, dated December the 9th, in which is the following remark : " We have been informed that Miller has con sidered all thes9 things, and has raged furiously at the conduct of his brother Whigs, and has gone so far as to say, that if he were a member of the Legislature, he would see Raynerand the Whig party sunk into perdition before he would vote for him." Although this publication docs me great in justice, I would refrain from noticing it, espe cially at the present time, were it not for the fact that it has already produced an erroneous impression on the minds of some whose good opinion I highly prize. I have, it is true, ex ercised the privilege of expressing what I hon estly believed would be the effect on thi pros pects of the Whig party in North Carolina, should they elect the lion. Kenneth Rayner to the Senate of the United States. I expressed this opinion on several occasions with freedom and candor, giving my reasons therefor at the time, but I indulged in no disrespectful or un kind remark, nor had I anv unkind feeling to- wards those who had supported Mr. R cither would have been as frankly given to .lr. hay ner himself, as to any one else. Surely, as a Whig, or as a citizen, however humble, I had the right both to form and express an opinion n reference to the action of the Whig party, but 1 had no cause to entertain, nor hare I entertain ed, for one moment, other than the highest re spect for the motives of those who produced that action. I have asked no office at tho bands ol the Whig party, nor do I expect to ask any. Whilst 1 should feel proud to deterce its honors, I shall never be found abandoning it:; standard in the hour of need, or parleying with the ad versary, to secure such honors. I have sought i on all occasions, and in every contest, m adver sity- as in prosperity, to do my duty to it fear lessly, and it will require much more than sup posed or even actual injustice from friends, or sympathy therefor, (however sincerely felt or pathetically expressed.) from political adversa ries, to weaken my confidence in the truth of its principles, or abate my desire for its complete success. Yv'hoever may be placed at the helm, so long as the true flag is flying from the mast head, my motto shall be, never give vr the Whig ship: believing it of much more impor tance to the country, to inquire w hat is the cuus in w; uch we arc stru ng, than who is the leader under whom we fiht. 1 acted on this principle in the late political contest, and shall hereafter act on it, so far as my con nection with political matters may continue, whatever may be the personal consequences. I have said this much injustice to mvseii. I hope 1 have not gone beyond what is proper and rijrht. I am, sir, most respectfully, Your friend and ob't serv't. II. W. MILLER. MASONIC.

The bill to incorporate the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail Road Company has been killed in the Senate. The vote on its passage being 22 for and 25 against. We sincerely regret this. It delays for two or more years the commence ment of a work, upon the completion of which, as All admit, depends .jVjygfpiercial greatness and prosperity of North Carolina. The bill making an appropriation for the com pletion of the work on Cape Fear and Deep Riv ers lias passed its.2d reading. In the House, the resolutions introduced by Mr. Leach, of Davidson, declaring against Inter vent ion, have passed by a vote of 00 to 8. The proceedings of Tuesday will show the determin ed opposition which they mot with from some of the locofoco leaders. The Judiciary Bill bas been indefinitely post poned, for the want of time, we believe, to con sider it. William N. II. Smith Esq., has heen re-elected solicitor in the first Judicial Circuit, and Mr. W. L Steele, the Senator from Richmond and Robeson, has been elected a Trustee of the Uni versity, to fill one of the four vacancies in the Board. P. S. Thursday's Proceedings necessarily o mitted, as usual. In the Senate, the Bill for the relief of the Cape Fear cd Pep River Naviga tion Company passed its third reading, and is therefore, a law. In the House, a bill to divide the State into eight Judicial Circuits, and to provide for the election of another Judgo and another Solicitor, was defeated. Another ineffectual balloting was had for Senator. The number of votes cast was 100 . necessary to a choice 81. Mr. Dobbin received 75; Mr. Rayner 73; scattering 12. All the Whigs voted foi Mr. Rayner, with the exception of Messrs. Albritton, lloleman, Milh Styles, Tripp and Teaguc ; and all the locofocos voted for Mr. Dobbin, except Messrs. Byrd, Cotton, Christmas, Love, Watson and Saunders. A balloting was also had for Attorney Gener al of North Carolina, Messrs. Eaton and M. W. Ransom having previously been put in nom ination. Votes cast 161 necessary to a choice 81. Mr. Ransom received 80 ; Mr. Eaton 79 ; Mr. S. H. Rogers 2. We are at present engaged in printing for the Legislature a very large edition of Prof. Em mons' Report upon the Geology, Mineralogy, &c, of North Carolina. It will be some weeks before this valuable work can be out. , Wc may however, in the meantime, give occasional ex tracts from it in the Register. The Report, so far as we have been able to peruse it, bears strong testimony to the superior qualifications of its scientific author. NON-INTERVENTION RESOLUTIONS. It will be seen that these Resolutions, intro duced by Gen. Leach, have passed the House of Commons, only eia'.t locofocos beinrr found bold enough to vote against them ! This is a nother principle of the Whig Platform which our opponents have marched up to the approval of, at this session of the Legislature. Let the good work go on. Tha "unterrified" arc kick ing off the planks frcj the Democjatic Platform with a vengoance I Tho objection urged against the Resolutions by the eight who were true to Kossuthism, was mainly that they are of nopractical importance. What! Such an expression of opinion, by our Legislature, of no importance in the face of the recent career of the Hungarian incendiary through our country ? Such an expression ot opinion of no practical use, when it is well known that many of the locofoco leaders, Doug lass aHd Cass, amongst them, have publicly de clared their adhesion to the doctrines of Im tervention? Of no importance, when Fillibus terism is rife around us and ready in defiance of treaty stipulations, to invade the provinces of Spain? Are we blind? Has devotion to Par ty and the behests of Party deprived us of our reason so that wo heed not the danger from In tervention ? It cannot be. Rank Ingratitude. When Gen. Saunders took leave, the other iHyin the House of Com mons, of his prospects for tho Senatorship, he made a public profession of his eager desire to reciprocate the kind support and unwavering adhesion extended to him by Mr. Love, of Hay wood. An opportunity of doing so presented itself, when Mr. Love was put forward as a Can didate for Treasurer, and yet the General re corded his vote against him 1 This is a matter with which we have no spec ial concern, but it has deeply impressed us with the fact, that " Ginerals," as well as " Repub lics," are " ungrateful I" Mr. Love was voted for, without tbe slightest limitation, we learn, on his part. We have received a Card from Maurice Q. Waddell, Esq., of Pittsboro,' in reply to one issued by a Mr. Renchxr, some months since. It shall appear in our next. We call attention to the advertisement of Mr. Solomons, in nother column. Mr. S. possesses a talent litfsfocation of the very highest order, and has already done much to elevate the standard of Musical attainment in this community. MR. RAYNER. The last "Standard" publishes an extract from a letter, written from this place to the 'Fayetteville Carolinian,' in reference to the Sena torial election, which shows very plainly that the high vote first obtained by Mr. Rayner created quite a sensation in the Locofoco camp. As to the hypocritical cant about Mr. Rayner being preferred to other Whigs, who have done more service in the late contest, wo deem it unneces sary to say any thing. We understand the mo tive which prompts such a comparison. Our simple purpose, in referring to this subject, is to correct the statements of these worthies the Carolinian's correspondent, and the Editor of the Standard, as to matters of fact. The Carolinian's correspondent says ; 1 'What was Mr. Rayner doing whilst Miller and others were traversing the State, exposed to the scorching sun and inclement weather; de prived of domestic association ; and last, but not least, spending their money in behalf of their cause ? Why he was here in the city of Ral eigh giving aid and comfort to our party the Democrats bv his silence ; protecting his fine personage from sun and weather ; taking ease and pleasure in the' enjoyment of his fine es tate." And the Standard goes on to say : "How is it that Mr. Rayner, who was silent while Kerr was canvassing the State last sum mer, is now honored by Whig votes for Sena tor, and Mr. Kerr forgotten ?" The facts are these : Mr. Rayner was busily engaged, during the month of July, in canvas sing the county of Hertford, in favor of Mr. Kerr. Although not a candidate, he Went to all tho gatherings in the county, made speeches, for Mr. Kerr, i and exerted himself in rallying the Whig party, in that contest. And we are informed by the members of Assembly from Hertford, that, on all occasions, public and pri vate, Mr. R. was in the habit of denouncing with indignation the charges of abolitionism and Roman Catholicism preferred against Gen. Scott, although he did not talce the f eld, as the especial champion and advocate of Gen. Scott's election. This, as we have stated, we deeply regretted, and dotill regret. But we hop3 the past may be forgotten. The allusion to Mr. Ravyfaer's "fine person age" and " fine estate," is too loit a fling, we must say, for these low times. We suppose it will hardly be considered a serious objection to a Senator that he is a good-looking man. If Mr. R. has fine physical strength and health, it would the better enable him (were he to be elected,) to stand the rigorous climate of Wash ington which, wc learn, is very trying to delicate constitutions, (e. g Mr. Dobbin's.) If he has a " fine estate," we see no objection in that. It would the better enable him to extend the rites of hospitality to North Carolinians when they visit Washington. We go there ourselves sometimes; and we have no objection to a Sena tor's being able to treat us to a good dinner at his own expense ! WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We find in the last "Standard" the following jar s..si irn i fi ca.atj2&ragraEh We have no hesitation in expressing the opin- ion, long entertained, that the people are much better qualified to elect public officers than the Legislature." In the same column, the election of Mr. Courts as Public Treasurer, is announced, and the Ed itor, but a few issues before, had the pleasure of publishing the election of Maj. Clarke as Comptroller. Is not this indeed the "unkind est cut of all" at his own friends ? Does it not 'hesitate in expressing the opinion,' that officers "better qualified" than these, could have been elected by the People? Rather a back handed compliment ycu are paying your friends, Mr. Editor I But "coming events cast their shad ows before :" and this wc presume is but fore shadowing what is to be the hobby of your next candidate for the Gubernatoral chair. But how is this transfer of power to the People to be ef fected ? By Legislative enactment or by Con vention ? Speak out Mr. Standard ! At the recent election. Gen. Pierce carried the State in which he resides, the State in which Kin;; resides, the State in which Scott resides, the State in which Graham resides, the State in which Hale resides, and the State in which Julian resides. Petty good for an "unknown bine nosed Yankee." Rockingham Register. Y'es ! and he carried also the Stale of Free soilism, the State of Interventionism, the State of Free-tradeism, nnd all tho other states and conditions which, united under his and the wily councils of Van Buren & Co., will bring another state to the Country the state of Ruin ! Our roport of the debate upon the vari ous propositions connected with tho subject of Internal Improvement, which havo recently been before the the Legislature, although it fills a goodly portion of our paper, to-day, is. still but meagre. Much that was said is necessarily omitted. This could not be helped. The debate has been distinguished, upon both sides of the question, by very marked a bility. We cannot refrain from calling atten tion and we are sure we shall not be deemed guilty of making invidious comparisons in do ing so to the eloquent remarks of Mr. Lilling ton, expressing, as they do, in the main, so well and forcibly, our own convictions. Mr. L. has few superiors, by the way, as an able and ready debater. Semper par alus seems to be his motto. It will be seen that Mr. Washington made,, throughout, strong fight for his bill. The speeches of Messrs. Gilmer, Joyner and Bynum, in connection with this debate, are yet to appear.
