THE INAUGURATION. , While this number pf our " paper is being is ned, the great scene is being enacted. Power is i passing from one hand to another, and a new ' Administration is assuming the reins of govern ment. ' ! It is a glorious, commentary upon our institu tions, that while millions of freemen opposed the election of the incoming authorities, all ac quiesce in the will of the majority, and the now state of things is adoptfcd peaceably and quietly. No array of armed men, no bristling of bayo nets, no display of cannon, were necessary to this end. The ballot' box did the work ; and tki plans and ideas off the past four years aro eubject to be upset as completely as if a change of public opinion had leen wrought by blood shed. So far from active opposition, now, even the bitterness of partizan strife, is almost forgotten,-and we can look back with amazement t the eitent to which yarty zeal wsis so recently esrriod in the country, j Not that we did not most earnestly and ardently! desire the elevation of ihe noble Old ehieftain; for whom all our powers sad sympathies were jtnlisted. Heaven forbid that we should retractone sentiment, or regret one act, expressed or done, during the late cam paign. But though our adversaries arc triumph aut, it is not the less ajhiatter of prido to the A tntrican people, that jdur victories are bloodless, and that a defeated administration can retire with out disgrace, and a now one come in, without awuming loo much of ;the pompous importance of the co'-.queror. ! Tj G..n. Pierce, left to himself, we are ready to attribute every quality of patriotism, without hating much faith in either bis ability or his in dependence of character. We trust that his administration may bej as distinguished as that of his predecessor, with the same eye to the glory of his Country, and the same indifference tfthe clamors of lelHconstituted guardians o the Nation 'a honor, f zT It is absurd ttj charge Raleigh pr the Cpo Fear region with opposing the connec tion with Danville, 5 per se. Their opposition was against the policy; of the whole scheme of internal improvement,! matured, (or supposed to be so,) at the Session If 184SV49. It was then thought, and we do jjot believe any material ehunge has taken plade In public opinion, that North Carolina had been long enough tributary toother States ; that she had sea-ports of her own to build up ; and that she had the products to build them. Undet that view, the Legisla ture granted a liberal charter to the Central Kail Road, which is now under a fair way , to completion. Does any one 'suppose, that if a charter had been granted, at the samo time, to connect the line fromf Charlotte to Danville, a raglo dollar of stock iwould have been taken be" twecn Salisbury and Goldsborough ? Call it a elfish or narrow mindedpolicy if you please, but the duty of the Legislature was to North Larouna. it she succeeded in Dunuing up nei own towns, then Virginia might reap what ben efit she could. Sortie of our roads, already built and aided by Virginia, will always enure to her benefit. But swo speak of the Central Road, which is a State work, and must work to the benefit of the State, at large, however any particular interest may suffer. There is no dis position that we know of, we repeat, to close the oarkets of the world ito the Dan River region. But it is the djty of the State to sae that, what ii emphatically the great work, is completed ihit. There is no doubt that the Dan River Country is rich in resources, Mineral and Agri cultural, far above many other portions of the State, but still we cannot consenteven for its benefit, in the infanc of tho Central Road, to e it tapped by the j companies of Virginia. 8uch a connection, if! made now, would be in bed faith, not only to our own Stockholders, but tlsotothose in Petersburg and Norfolk, who have Hiked much in the recontruction of the Raleigh and Gaiton Road. tlat Dan River country must soon have a communication to market by rail road, is certain, lut let them urge the mat ter more temperate!. There is certainly no deposition in the Legislature to stifle works pro jected and fostered by it, and certainly less to Create rivals, which kill destroy what it nos al ready done. - ' ' fey The smell of the "Spoils" has waked op the "Ex Charge' to Portugal again. He passed through this City, the present week, on b' way to Washington. What is he after ? We oidy hope that tie may be sent out of the Slate. Any man, who would charge "bargain Md corruntion" ufion IIcnrt Clat, after his death, dofs'nt dewko to live in North Caroli 'tia. . ' i Hti UilLriiuii iiiiuio 1 lui : - LOOSE LEGISLATION. , The " Fayetteville Observer" make some merited strictures upon the loose and imperfect manner in which much of the legislation, in this State, is effected. And after quoting sev j eral instances, and referring to one in particu j lar, it proceeds to remark : j " But it was not of this law we meant now to speak. That only troubles us and tho public "''', a year, uuring "tne last zv working days in July," as the Revised Statute expresses it. It w as about tho law changing the time of holding the Superior Courts in this (the 5th) Judicial Circuit, that we desired to say a word. We learn that it is positively dlivd that this law ever passed the General Assembly ! Members of the Assembly deny it, as wc hear, and give the following statement about it : The bill passed the House of Commons- with a nrovisirm tlm? the Judge should be paid out of the State Trea-J sury for holding Court a second week in New 1 Hanover. When it reached the Senate, that body amended the 2d section by providing that the Judge should be paid by the County Trus tee of New Hanover. After which it is affirm ed that the bill never went baek to the Common for concurrence in t&c amendment, and of course the law is no law. We know not what would be the effect of the establishment of these facts whether the law would therefly be nullified or not. It is un doubtedly a good and necessary law, and hav ing the official signatures of the Speakers of the two Houses, and the Secretary of State, we suppose it will be assented to without a serious question. We allude to it only for the purpose of urging, as we have heretofore done, that some legal gentleman, the Attorney General or some other person, should be required, (and paid,) to examine, and lick into some sort of shape, every bill and amendment tlmt cnmei hrf,n-f. uie .Legislature Legislatu Upon an examination of the Journals of the Legislature, at present in our possession, ia the 31ss., we find u, so far as the showing therein goes, to be actually the case, that the law in question never 2assed the General Assembly. On the afternoon of the 27th of December, that being the last day of the Session, it went to the Senate, in its original form, was there amen ded and passed through its several readings. It was then sent to the House for concurrence in the amendments of the Senate, but either never reached there, or was not taken up, as upon the few remaining pages of tha Journal of proceedings of either House, we find no men tion of the matter! That it should have recei ved tho aignaturcs of tho Speakers, however, is not at all remarkable, considering the intense confusion that immediately precedesan adjourn ment of the Legislature. THE Till RT V-S EC O N D CONGRESS. With the going out of the new Administra- tion espircs the llnrty-Sccond Uongress, Icav- j curing rare seeds, printing, &c, &c. Thistimc ing behind it, tho - Washington Republic" well ly liberality of the Legislature, our files of that and justly remarks, a reputation which, we , d'av gtate gavo soj0ng as it continued to be ex hope, no future Congress will eiiulate. Nejcr before, in the history of legislation, have such large opportnnities for usefulness been so mis erably wasted. Never before have private rights been so recklessly and wantonly trifled with. Its committees burdened with drawers full of unreported reports, and its tables groaning un der piles of unfinished and unattuinpU-d busi ness, the Thirty-second Congress will be ever hereafter remembered for its admitted incapaci ty for business and its immense loeofoco ma jorities. 1 ' The "Republic" remarks : "Tho Democratic press have charged upon the V.'liigs a want ol tact in administration. I Let us see how it goes with Democratic legisla- j lion'.; J A Democratic President of the Senate, Demo- ; cr:it:c committees, and u Democratic majority oi more than two to one. A Democratic Speaker of the House of Repre sentatives, Democratic committees, the most important numbering his Democrats to three Whign, and a Democratic majority on the floor of FirTV-TWO members and no reports from eous xi litmus for niiiti luftithrf, and fi tri uitithi barred out from the speaker's table by the con trivance of a few factious members. Is not this a pretty account to give of a legis lative year ! Does not a fearful responsibility rest somewhere ? And wuerE? On the Democratic Speaker's committees, and members of the two Houses. No factious im pediments to public business have in any in stance been interposes! by Whig members. These have been raised by Democrats, and with the Democracy mur-t rest the responsibility for the misconduct ot its members. Materials have been accumulating during the last two years that demonstrate how entirely in capable a Democratic majority is of wise and useful legislation. With a Democratic Execu tive in whilm the people have expressed the highest confidence in adanvc, it will be impos sible to contrive and carry out any measures really -beneficial, unless we can have a U hig majority and a Whig Speaker of the House of Representatives." In all this, it may be well enough to observe, the "Republic" is corroborated and sustained by Mr. Venabi.e ! A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION. A Subscriber, writing to us from one of the J Post Offices in this County, remarks : "I was so much mortified at the result of the Presiden tial Election, that I thought I would quit your paper and politics at the same moment ; but, when the time, at which my subscription ex pired, arrived, I could not get my consent to dispense with the old family friend. So here, now,! is the advance pay for two copies." That is tht right spirit a spirit worthy of all emula tion ! FOR LIBERIA. The Secretary of the American Colonization Society announces that preparations are mak ing to start a vessel from Norfolk, Va., tho first ot May, with emigrants for Liberia. One hun dred and seventy-eight persons have already ap plied for passage ; of whom 114 are from Vir ginia, 52 from North Carolina, 6 from Kentucky- ' 3 from Massachusetts, 1 from Ohio, 1 from Pennsylvania and 1 from N. York. A fine large vessel will be chartered, affording the most am ple accommodations for 250 passengers. Ap plication for passage should be made immedi ately. The price of passage and six months' support in Liberia, is sixty dollars each one, fer all who are able to pay. A free passage and six months' support will be given td all worthy Hrersont who are unable to pay, and who come iwell recommended. i THE LOCOEOCO IIEGIRA. Tjhe following remarks from the "New Orleans Bulletin," under the above caption, are not at all inapplicable to the condition of things in this j anti other quarters of this State. "We miss the light of familiar faces in many, many quarters. Hundreds have already fled, and hundreds more last, Dr. Ives has drawn from his Diocese six arejdeparting, for that Mecca of office-seekers, months salary in advance to defray the expense thai bounteously, never-failing fountain, from j of his trirj to Europe ; a fact, lie says, which al which "the spoils" flow all over the Union, that 1 most necessitates the conclusion of an infirm source of high political station, honor and emo-; mind, since any other supposition is hardly con lunients, yclept tho oity of Washington.

AGRICULTURE ! f We invite attention to the "Act for the encour- i agement of Agriculture." &e., pasted at the ; last Session of the Legislature, which we pub-' i , i , i , ii ' lush to-day, and which we hope and believe will : do something for the improvement of that enno-; bling pursuit in our State. ! This act is similar to, though not so liberal . . . . . . , , , . , ! in its provisions as, ono passed by the Letrisla- 1 J . ture of this State in 1822. That ai'.nropriated ifcoOOO a year, for a limited number of years, to be divided anion; the several Counties in the State, in proportion to the eir federal numbers i ' y which should Jorm to be given to those onl Agricultural Societies. To all Counties was : given a sum equal to that which the members j of their Societies raised among themselves, I provided it did not esce.ed tho euin to which j theie federal numbers entitled them.

I . . , 1 i. 1. i. il A. iL. LETTER FROM BISHOP GREEN. A letter from the Right Rev. W. M. Green, Bishop of the Diocese of Mississippi, has ap peared in the papers, relative to the abandon ment by Dr. Ives, of North Carolina, of his Epis copate, and his submission to the Roman Cath olic Church. Proceeding from one who has known Dr. Iycs long and well, who spent twen ty-nine years of his ministry in North Caroli na, and who was for the greater period of that time in frequent and intimate association with him, the letter assigns what, in the writer's opinion, is the cause of a change of sentiment so remarkable. This eftuse Bishop Green finds in the influence of a mental excitement, which has produced "an unsettled condition of Bishop Ivea' intellect, or rather of his moral judgement. and which has been a growing source of pain to his diocese for several years." Bishop Green himself states from hi own personal ob serration, that he has not, for the last six years, regarded Bishop Ives as a responsible man, and further that, in saying this, he but repeats the admission virtually made by Bishop Ives him self, by his confidential physician and by his in timato friends. Extracts "from these admis sions, which we have already published. Bishop Green publishes in his letter. The letter of Biohop Green mUkes public the further fact, that since the first of November language and terms which indicate the true spirit of charity towards one whom he regards j as an erring brother." f ; .

Never, we presume, has a Congress of sovereigns honored a Cheif Magistrate and his family with a more hearty acknowledgment of true esteem than TSid the company of Friday evening Mr. Fillmore and his household.

I have got' my numbers for the last year bound, and I -wa looking over it last night, and I declare I don't believe there's one number that has'nt shme thing of some sort or other in it about us girls. The very first number began it, and here' the old theme in the last. And whether they atart to write about us or not, it may be something very deep about Political Economy, but as bure as fate, they'll drag us in before theyi are through. Carrie, you may depend uport it, thoso editors aro in kve with half a doxen of us; If they are not, I'll give up. ' Of course, you all read "Hortense" the first thing. Do you think any Hortense wrote it? For my part, I should say with Sir Hugh ; Ev ans "1 spy a great peard'under her mufflar. I like not when a 'omau has a peard." And "what now !" as President Deems says: What particular needs reformation this time? Have you girls found out? I was in hopes fromi the way "Hortense" began, that she (I beg her par don) he was about to stand up for us, and prove that wc have a right to cut our sacks and burl our hair j ust as we please ; but bless my heart 1 ' lft.T., w.. i, ! 7 , ""," " -6" ! ot our nhl sehoid-mriMilara. find mt bia hpoil ,- , bewildered with "swiss and silks and jaconiet, , ... khe forgot what ho was going to say, I doi be lieve, and leu to telling us bow wo ought to raise our families! Good gracious 1 he's a long siyhted youth, is'nt he, if nothing else. One thing, I'll bet you all agreed with that school girls ought to spend their own money them selves. 1 saw dav light there.

And is'nt Cicero as good as Juvenal any day ? Did you notice that "Syphax-como-rattle-the bone" has got in at last, after much knocking at the door. I wonder if its true, as they say, that he is'nt "good looking." Well, at any rati1, he talks Ugly enough to have been kept out loucrer. I guess he lias been to the plao where I they "sell the. best fish and speak the" plainest English." What can equal his perching him self on the Editor's Table, and grinning at the former editors, as much as to say "Aha ! here 1 am you see." Saucy thing! For the land's sake, l arrie, what i3 to become of Miss Lizzie and Mr. Mahgar, in the Epac crul'su jpL..lse ; And is'nt she a foolish thina ikceti How can the author keen us in such wuh her ring liking one someoody and flying round another. I wonder where she expects to go to when she dies, utter such conduct. He s a regular case too. They ought both of 'em to : be put out of their misery; such as it is. I : hope they'll be drowned before April. ' Did von iret into the merits ot the "Sea Fisht." For mv part, as I don't know the dif- : ferenes between a mizen mast, and a loro-top- sail, nor anything about a "raking position," I ; took it for grar.'.ed. The Editor's Table you j see can't let us alone either. But I guess who- ' ! ver vrjtc that never was in love. Yhere do ! you suppose 1:3 got his poetry from, and, his ! notion "Oh crackie" indeed 1 That's a ; pretty way of talking. I wonder how much he ! knows about it. I should like to get our hands on some of those Editor's Tables. We'd turn ' 'cm round. . Carrie, dear, do you believe those boys up thcra ever saw Parker's aid to composition, or beard of such a man as Lindley Murray ? We'ro ahead of them there, are'nt wo? One of them t!llk3 oi "setting perfectly quiet."

Did you see the Standard's notice of the February No. ? Well, 1 am a Whig, of course, but 1 loved the Standard for that. It served them right, but they do say, you know, that the Standard was mad, because the Magazine had'nt exchanged with it. That's a very small business, to show Bpito about such a thing ; for my part, I never thought twice about the little piece I sent them, they never put in. I did'nt say a word you know, but kept very dark in retrard to it, and only retired from writing for the public thence forward. ; How did you all like tho looks of "the ball- manazer s names 7 1 did nt see a pretty one in the crowd. Let's go to their commenceneent, and take a look at the owners, and give our "fascinators a "trial trip." Oh 1 by the way, 1 have just got the sweetest pattern for a tascina tor, ever was.

At the Executive Mansion, in this City, on Thursday morning, the 24th of February, after a brief illness, of pneumonia, Rebecca-VV.r aged 15 years, daughter of Hon. 1 nomas oettl of Rockinitham County. Every effort of Medi- ical skill was exhausted in her behalf ; but nei ther this, nor the ceaseless and patient attention of relatives and friend could stay the band of death. The deceased was much beloved by hor school-companions and friends, for ber gentle and amiable qualities ; and by those who were near to ber in kindred and blood she . was re carded with unusual affection. Death, which comes to all, has but translated her in the spring-time of her existence to a brighter and happier realm. ...,.. .
