CONGRESSIONAL.
APPROPRIATION FOR THE CAPE FEAR.
Mr. Badger.
IN SENATE.
Wednesday, July 12, 1S54. j
I will ask the Senate, before '
proceeding with the usual call for petitions, to
allow ine to have a bill disposed of which has
been returned from the House of Representa
tives with an amendment. It is a bill which
passed the Senate some four or five months ago,
"making further appropriation for the improve
ment of the Cape Fear River, North Carolina'
The motion was agreed to.
The President. The amendment, will be
rend.
Mr. Badger. I will state in a few words
what the amendiaeut is. The bill, as it passed
iht Senate, appropriated $140,000 for continu
ing the improvement of the Cape Fear river, at
or near its mouth. , There was a second sec
tion iu the bill which appropriated $60,000 to
reimburse the citizens of Wilmington for some
moneys which they had raised, and which thej
had put into the hands of the officer in charge
i t' the work, for the purpose of continuing it,
atter a previous appropriation had been expen
ded In the year 1852 Congress passed, in the riv
er and harbor bili, an appropriation for the
purjo-e of removing the obstructions in the
Cape. Fear river. The next year no general biil
upon the subject was passed, and the Senate
made an amendment to the naval appropria
tion biil, appropriating a further sum for con
tiouing the work, which was lost in conse
quence of a disagreement between the two
11 ues. The difficulty then presented to the
citizens of Wilmington was thi6: the mouth of
th r viT was filling up in consequence of
some jetties thrown out by the Government for
the protection of Fort Caswell, which, turning
tiie current upon B.vld Head, a sandy point op
posite the tort, washed the sand into the chan j
ii e 1 . It the work were stopped from the failure j
of the appropriation, matters would not remain ';
as they then weie, to be removed at that point !
when a further appropriation should be obtain- i
ed : but, on the contrary, things would in the '
interval grow worse, the tilling go on, the chan- ;
nel become yet shallower, the work already j
djne be entirely lost, and consequently more !
money be required for the removal of the oh
Htrmt on. in consjquei ci of this interval in the I
prosecution of the work. I
Congre-s, then, having authorized the work ; ;
Congress having assumed it as a public mea
sure of imp irtauee to be accomplished by the '
United States; the approp. iation having been j
eihausted, and one Tluuse of Congress having ;
made an appropriation for carrying on the '
work, and those improvements for the site of '
Furt Caswell having been made by the Govern ;
nwiir, aud, therefore, the injury resulting being i
mainly attributable to the action of the Govern- 1
jiii'tit, the. citizens of Wilmington felt it was no j
intrusion orM heirs, no attempt to entrap or en- :
gage the Government in the prosecution of it, .
which would have been highly blameable and '
presumptuous in -these citizens, but merely a'
f.nr and justifiable effort to prevent an actual
injury to the Government as well as themselves, '
which would have resulted by a stoppage of a '
work already authorized and commenced by 1
Congress. I oiler these circumstances, this sum
of money was subscribed, and portions of it
AMENDMENTS TO THE - CONSTITUTION i
, 110 .V TO Bfi MADE. - "
Were it not for the baleful, influence of party
spirit upon the minds of lour people, we pre-
! sums there would jbe no difference of opinion
as to the preferable -mode jof making amend
I meats to the State Constitution, in those pnr-
ticulars wherein changes, may be deemed advi
sable. We can conceive of no possible advan
tage which the Conventional would not have
over the legislative mode. ) In the first place it
would be I
MORE EXPEDITIOUS.
For sis years the public mind has been con
stantly agitated by the Bingie question of Free
Suffrage by legislative enactment; and, for
aught that mortal eye can Bee, we are this day
as far from the consummation of this darling
project of the democracy, as they have the as
surance to call themselves, as we were in 1848.
Suppose, however, that it be ultimately ob
tained bow long before that end will be ac
complished? Not possibly! before the year
1857 : for it will have firs to pass through
both Houses of two succebive legislatures;
and then be ratified by the people at the ballot
box before it can become a part of the organic
law. Thus nine years will have been consum
ed in effecting oue amendment ; and the next
one in order may then be taken up for conside
ration in. its turn 1 Suppose; the other mode to
be adopted a convention hjay be called and
held, and all proper amendments may be pass
ed on and submitted to the people for their
ratification within six months from the rising
of the next legislature : and jsecondly
TIIE WORK WOULD BE FINISHED.
It is perfectly well known to every man of i
intelligence in the state that a great many ot
j our people desire other amendments to the con
stitution besides tree sunrage, ana tnat tney
mrveTHSill be satisfied until they get them, or,
at least, have a fair chance for them. And
shall the democratic or any other party be al
lowed to .assume the prerogative of dictating to
them whieh ojthese amendments they shall or
shall not have, and at the same time to usurp
the power of doling them out, one at a time,
for the purpose of affecting the elections, State
or Federal? In a convention every man,
through his delegates, would have a right to
bring forward his proposition, i The complaints
of every community in tho State would be
hpard and respectfully considered: and when
the work would be finished it (wo uld be ended
for a fourth or a fifth of a century at least. In
the meantime political malcontents and small
beer demagogues would be without ad captnn
dura hobbies to straddle, and i serious legisla
tion for the development of the resources and
the advancement of the interests of the State
raiaht be attended to. Aud thirdly, the conven
tional mode would be, in the end,
FAR MORE CHEAP.
Free Suffrage, though not yet attained, has
already-cost -the people of the State a vast
amount of money. It has been debated in our
legislative halls, from first to last, perhaps not
less than forty days, at an expense of nearly
six hundred dollars per day--amounting to
something like twenty four thousand dollars.
But throw this entirely out of the account, and
what do we still have on the debit side ? about I
two thousand dollars for advertising iu the
newspapers, with a certainty j that the same
amount or more will have to be again expen

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY, TitE PUB
LIC LANDS.:
The leaders of no party rave mire about con
sistency and being true to f.,nmr principle?
than do those of the Democratic party ; and we
may safely say that they have less of said "jew
el" than those of any other now extant. Bat
how are we to expect consistency iri a party
whose name is not in accordance with its action ?
For instance, its name implies a pure; devotion
to the people's interests, and an advocacy of a
government which has no head, but: is vested
entirely in the people ; but more on this point at
some future time.
Not wishing to make this article lengthy, let
us look only at the tergiversations of some of
the more prominent men of the Democratic par
ty in this State. First, we have a renowned in
stance in the case of a certain Editor, who would
fain dictate to his party the course they slnuid
pursue on all questions of State and National '
politics. We refer to the Editor of the Stan- ;
dard, who is consistent only in praising Demo- i
crats who please him, and in abusing Whigs i
who, not so corrupt as himself, and acting from j
purer motives, often thwait him in his plans. j
To review his whoie course is, perhaps, not ne- j
cessary here; we wiil only remark that the:
principal inconsistency of his past life is being :
sufficiently well exposed by others, and there- 1
fore it is useless fir us to attempt it. ;
In the Congressional canvass of 13-V3, "it will
be remembered, that there were at tjm two and
then three Candidates in the field. The first ;
was a Democrat, who had satisfuotoiiiy rente- i
sentad his constituents in the Congress of the 1
United States ; a tried and faithful soldier, who ;
looked mere to the interest of North Carolina
than he did to strict party liiieK In this he j
offended; the deed was done and unless some j
amend was soon made the bull of excommuni- j
cation was to be pronounced -against him. The i
second was a young man, one wu had never 1
distinguished himself by any prominent act, ;
and he, -unlike an energetic and competent man i
who rises from defeat with renewed vigor, has
sunk into that oblivion to which are consigned
all those not sufficiently able to sustain them- ,'
selves in the political arena. The third Can-

In this canvass, the aforementioned Editor,
pausing for a while between his two party men,
not wishing to desert one who he kne w was the
most popular, resolved at l.'iigtli to ca-it the die
upon the issue. Every argument, every abuse
was urged to break down and vilify the man
who asked for North Carolina's share of the
public lands. We make a lew extracts from
his paper :

and, so far as it lias been paid over and applied,

d-r his direction. i
l:nder the circumstances, sir, I thought it was
nut reasonable to strike out that part of the bill, i
1 felt satisfied that the subject was not fully '
understood, and that the Government must ul-
t.mately see that, in the removal of an obstruc
tion to a navigable 'water of one of the States
ol the L'nion, which was caused by the act of .
rh. Government itself, it is rather hard, rather :
uiii-enerous. to reouire that a small but thriviitL'
can be obtained: for, a-s it was liilled by the
relusal of the democratic Speaker of the Senate
to vote for it at the last session of the legisla
ture, the whole routine will have to be gone
through with again. And wiien we get through
with the business, if get through w.e ever do,
we shall have but one amendment effected, not
withstanding all the time and i money expen
ded I Another one will then be taken up,
which will require nine tnorei years, id all
probability, as well as the expenditure of a like
bum of money. Would any statesman, any
man really anxious to see the constitution
amended, advocate such a piddling system of

see such a body of men returned to the Gene

need not dwell upon this point: the mere fact
that the legislature at one time came very near
passing, and did pass through the House of
Commons, a free suffrege bill conferring upon
free negroes the right to vote in the Senate,
j furnishes a conclusive argument as to the fit

has again been received into full
with the Standard, the chief trumpet-blower of
bis party.
We will leave those mentioned above and pass
on to another actor in the same scenes ; one far
less worthy of comment ; and we doubt whether
we should devote the space to him, as but few
of his contemporaries think hiin worthy of no
tice, although his attacks and misrepresenta
tions are of the bitterest kind. Wecannot but
think that the sayings oflone, whoe principles
can be changed with every campaign, as the
sails of a weather-cock are turned indifferent
directions by every different breeze, cannot have
much influence; therefore we do not wonder at
the little notice that is taken of him. This per
son was supposed to speak for the Honorable
gentleman above-mentioned, and between him
and the chief trumpet blower a lively war of
words was keot up, with so mtfch force that
appropriation made by Congress before such
i application is made to the fullest extent, is in
. direct violation to the spirit of our Constitution
! and ought not nay, should not, receive the
i sanction &f the President."
Now, as the editors of this paper especially
! call the attention " to this letter, and no dissent
! is made from its views, it is nothing but right
! to presume that they endorse it. Then place
this lasfaentiment beside the one of last sum
mer, and ..what beautiful consistency we have.
; Notwithstanding all this, the above paper, in
cr'tieisingi the Fayetteville Observer, one of the
: mofit ablii:jand bes-t newspapers in the State,
'.says : " Stand to what you say ! Practice what
you preach, if you -would be a consistent leader
i and expoitnder of the faith." What words for
the most inconsistent, dodging paper in the
Sj;ate. We would simply say to these editors:
wash your own political face of ali its black
; before you tell any other person of a spot on
t heir's. I
i The affair of the Statesman, we need not
! speak of. as the inconsistency of its editor has
; been discussed in the Register at a previous
; date, far n'iore ably than we are able to discuss
it. luere;are other persons and other editors
whose inconsistency might be here onokerf of,
but 1 have already drawn out my account of
. the acts arid actors of 1853 too long. In con
1 elusion of our remaks on this campaign, we
would note the fact., that of the many promi
nent Diiniiifirats who favored a distribution of
the Public!' Lands, there are only two ot whose
. retraction we have not heard Loftin and Leake,
both of whom were beaten for Congress in de
mocratic districts, on this question. j
! We leave those who have wrangled and abus- I
! ed each other among themselves, to turn to a !
i now more prominent person, upon whom all!
but the Xwi) last seem to be united, we mean, j
Thomas Bragg. E.-q. Who he is every one i
, knows ; what lie is but few know, as the Demo-
: crats, withHheir usual taet, select d a man who '
thev thought had iio an. cedents, but as it ha-i
been proved, and as the August election wilt i
prove conclusively, he has to many for hiseh c j
tion. Butfit i of his inconsistences we are to j
speak. Ol? his former opposition to free suf !
' frage we have no written evidence, but if the j
wotd of hi neighbors is to be believe 1, hj j
I ntiver was.fun'il his nomination to the gover
norship; in! favor of free suffrage. , Of his inconsistency-on
internal improvement, the peo
ple of North Carolina have but lately had the
best of evidence, and as his demerits aud incon-
sisteiu'ies are being full well discussed by oth
: ers, it is nrjt necessary that we should enlarge
. on them.
We ask Hie people of North Carolina to con
trast the two parties and their candidates; and
then we pu( the question, will you favor a party
i which advocates relieving you from heavy tax
ation, by giving you a portion of what was
J once yours.iand a portion of that which is now
1 yours by right arid justice; or will you favor
j a party whith is opposed to your getting your
share of the Public Lands, and say they would
I not have them if they could get them. We ask
' you again, Mich will you favor: he who favors
your interest, or he who would do, he don't ex
, actly know;? what, but anything to keep you
j from bavhigiyour share of the Public Lands ?
j On the, corning election depends this great
question. . A-Legislature, which is to elect two
Senators, is o be elected. If the Legislature is
' Democratic, lyou, the people of North Carolina,
j declare, in opposition to reieiving your share of
' the cjmnion " fund ; if it is Whig, you declare
j in favor of that 'neasure, and a powerful influ
i ence will be sent to Congress towards your re
; ceiving it.
I People of North Carolina, Whigs and Demo
i crats, think of it. "A million and a half, into

way towards lessening the people's taxes, would

nave so little independence as the r.ditors ol a
certain democratic newspaper in this Lhstrict.
A man who will servilely cringe at the feet of
one of his party who had assailed him to keep
himself in favor is not worthy of the support Or
favor of any party. The paper which took so
decided a stand for Mr. Venable, and our share
of the public lands, was called the Giraffe.; it
has thrown off the garb of neutrality which it
then wore and is now a rabid locofoco paper,
but the fact of its Once having been neutral,
as the same Editor controls it, should not, in
our opinion, keep it from being accountable for
what it then said. Therefore we make a few
extracts :
" Taking, a-t we ilo, a eulrn anil d.-liliorate view
of the political elements, us they a;e lurioiv-ly lath
ing the mi utls of the multitude, we look ilon u Iomo

relation to the Public Lands sils with a bad grace
upon their cap.- If Douglass, the "little giant of !

lied" in this vicinity if Cass, whose name has

and, if their opinions are worth anything at all,

giving away to the new Slates, year alter year, the
Public Lauds for purposes of Internal Improve

of Old Rip would go a great way towards lessening
the people's taxes would give us free schools in
every neighborhood, anil build a plnnk road from
the mill of every farmer to tlie markitf of his
choice." -
" Analyse this whole matter, if you please, and
you find VV. W. Holden, surrounded by an iinig
niticaut number of young progressive.-; about Ra
leigh, at the bottom, stirring up, With all their
might, this spirit of disaticction. They arc the dis

this appointment it would be necessary for him
to leave. Charlotte that afternoon ; to be sure,
he might remain over, but, in that case, he could
only witness thje organization of the Convention,
iic. This was about all. No words of cheer,
nothing positive, or tangible, or encouraging in
the entire document.
Gen. Dockery'a reply on the other hand was
an admirable fene. lie made allusion to the
fact that he had been all his life a friend to In
ternal Improvements; was deeply committed in
favor of the system ; and declared his conviction
that the proposed Road from Wilmington to the
west, flanking the State of South Carolina, was
essentially a North Carolina work.

Manufacturing Mills.
A credit of one and two years will be allowed

This Hotel is probably as good property of the
kind as is to be found in the 3tte. Its income
for several years past aas ranges from fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars a year ; and at present is
rather beyond the latter amount. As buyers will
probably examine the property for themselves,
any farthor description hereis unnecessary.
