Lil ngton,. Senator from Eowan and Davie, H. C. j Jones, Commoner from i Eowan, and Bufus Bar- finger and Joseph TV. Scott, Commoners from Cabarras, issued an address to their constitu ents, from which we make the following extract ; j 'Fki.eow Citiziks t Having taken an ac tive Jart in the Legislature, in procuring the en actment of a Cfiarter authorizing the construc tion of the North Carolina Railroad, in order tn prevent a m;sTnstructron of our course, and in vrder that that Important act itself may be prop erlv understood ;and appreciated, we deeia it ex pedient; to. give, a bnet history pf its progress through the As&embly :--to et forth" its probable fffecU upon the condition of our own country pen, and its claims; "ujku their favorable consid tration. " i ' C r i ' ,lltis known to most bf you that'previously to taking our seat in thf?i lte Oeneral Assembly, whilst yet among you, e, as well a most of the Westerr members, wt!b declared advocates of a Charter to rnnko a Railroad from Charlotte o the town of Danville, in Virginia. With great zeal rrd in Vgood faith we set out in an endeavor lo accomplistt thw purpose This pledge, and this fcrtdeStvor, were prodicatnd upon what;weregard 3 its a fixed fact, to wt: that the Railroad an ttorizfld. by the yirinia Charter from Richmond to Danville, would be sceedilv made, and thai no I'plaJt of uncertainty rested upon thalevenU. We jiaa noi1 oeen long in iie cuy oi xiaieigu, uww ie?$r, before we found oiit that the eventual suc cess of, that measure was extremely doubtful,'and from all the information-we have been able to ob tain in relation to it, we are co ra polled to rest upon, the conclusion thit it either-neYerwill be mid", or if. made at all, it w'H be so long before tt is done, as to make it follv in us f wait for its execuiion, oeiore ve kuempi soiwuims ior nur 1 ojen State. e discovered also, that piany pa- Lfriotic and enliehtefaed sons of North; Carolina. f (n V . - r.atMAtiM an4 Anlthf Am a4 ivrlvr n averse to qi enierprisc ehicK-vould- barry ihe bade of those JerHU roqumt, iniuLdtrections, , itn- m.'d'ateiy bcvoiuL ihe, borders of our state.- They Jtnd long AO1 a and deplored th vant'of a comru- nUy of fedxng . arid- interest octween the .Western $nl EjasierA portionsof.the-$fatc : they' knew ieU. as ire all kuric, that our. enfeebled condition is, in dyreat measure irii to this unnatural 's frangenientt and .Uicti strvngly deprecated a pl-an Shich ' teas forever to perpetuate this state of dugs. Thy said they thought they coul(, de mise a-sheme which wouldnswer all the purposes of agriculture, ind at the same lime prevent this urancc and alienation between brothers. Thy said it was true, that unless something was off. rd that might betier claim bur sanction, tbey had no right to stand jintjur way, and prevent us from jhelping ourselves in any such manner as we ceuld with our own mean's ; and that if this more favorable alternative was not offered trtthe West, they "f ould a-quit-sce i the grant of the Charlotte, and Danville Charter, hey pointed also'to ihe fact when we should arrive at Rhhmond we ware still 180 lailes frpm sea, and that such a market would, by no means, answer our agricultural pro duction. We were. . therefore called Upon to pause, and we did-rause, to see whathis alterna tive .might- be. After the schem,-propo"ed in the Governor's message was rejected.-and all hope of adjustment seemed to have vanished,: this ichmor aUentral ICauroau from Ujiasboro to Charlotte was proposed by the Senator from New Hanover, 1 with the ad-cice and consent of some of us and otters numbers of both Houses, from the East and the West ; The leading .features of this scheme are, to start at a point where the Railroad that runs from Wilmington to the Roanoke river intersects with Ihe Neuse, ft. wit, at or near Golds boro, ia Wayne County, (it being the head of navigation on that river") tnence to rue through Raleigh aad Salisbury to Charlotte. The act fur ther provides 'hat whenever one million of dol-. lars is tken in' stock by individuals, the State is to subscribe two millions, i It also, makes a provi sion : by which : the Raleigh and Gaston I Railroad, (now the entire property of the State,! will B sa veil jroru ui'er ruin : iuo provisron is, that one half of the stock of this road shall be surrendered tothe former stockholders, and they be released from their liabilities (which are 'very grievmis) :lipon condition that they put five) hun dred; thousand dollars worth of work upon i the road. Thi Central scheme bad the one advan tage over all others ever proposed in the Councils of our State, of drawing , together and harmonising the diseordarU and king alienated divisions of onr State: It presented the further advantage of failing in with the tide of travelling, atjd, of supply ing "the wanting .link" in the chain of Railroad that stretches (with this exception) from the Lakes to the waters of the Mississippi. -It had the advantaee also,- of conducting us (with only about twenty-five miles digerence in distance) to Rich mond, where our chosen scheme, the Danville im provement, proposed carrying 'us ; and over nd above this, to Petersburg, to Norfolk, to Raleigh, to JTewbern and to" Wilmington. It promised to indemnify the State in the-large outlays which had . been roade in the two Railroads already in operation, in bnjging up the value of the stock. -U called for atuch less money from individuals, and therefore, seemed much more likely to suc ceed, than the other. Norfolk, 2fewiern,-and Wilmington, are all near .'thosea-board, and are, therefore, 'for all grain, mueh butter mtrketa thanj Richmond could bei. Wilmington, inv par ticular, is t the best market for our. inf rior country,-, of any" port in the .Southern States. Vpon tne lehle , the alternative1 in th't scheme, embraced Jar -tnore than' we askta or expected.. Who that loved jthe Old. North' State, who that rejoiced in her pride and strength of character, coald hah between opinions? Who could doubt or hesitMe? We d'd not. We gave up, at once, our preference for the Danville Charter, and in so dfiing, werthink 'we harrnet the just erpectaiations our chnHlt- veuls, And .f nil the frx'n-is of wesern Carolina. TVo j think, too, that in so doing, we haveropfned & wv for th redfrnntion fif,riiir d.vlinirir lor- Umis ' ' . ' ' W e could if we chose go on and pile proof upon proof, to show that all the ' argument used forthe Central road was based upon the ground that the road waa to develope North Carolina's resources, build up North Caroli na marts, and in a word be for the interest j of Nor. h Carolina, leaving the benefit to be j derived from it by any j other State to be purely a contingent beriefit we might refer i to the dinner at which Gov. Swain eavehis toast of the marriasre of the East -and the West, tc Gov: Morehead's Wajne county let ter. &cl, i.c. But we think we have estab lished our position, by proving that the Cen tral Boad was desigaed solely for ihe bene fit of North Carolina, and that if ' a eonneo- ion with the Danville Road was contempla- ted, the design waa not only studiously kept from the knowledge of tbe people, but abso lutely disclaimed., We might here stQp, but as wa are a christian V man, : "and desire to do good unto those who cruelly and despitefally use ntf we intend to restore Gov. Morehead's memory to a recolleotion of the past. We learn that in his speech, he alluded rather sneeringly to : the subscrip tion of seventeen thousand .dollars which lie ays . was made in Petersburg to the Central Boad. Another instanoe of .'treach erous memory" whtoh "another "leaf from History" must; refresh. : We find this leaf in the file of the Raleigh Register for 1850, then commanding Gov, Morehead's confi dence. It ia in the shape of an account in the issue of March 18tb, 1850, of the pro ceedings of a "Bailroad convention" held at Hillsboro' on the 26tb of February prece ding, and at which Gov. Morehead took a prominent part. Among other proceed, ings, a committee reported the, amount of ao-, tual subscriptions to the Central road is fol lows: i In the county of Bowan $8,000, David son10,000, GuUford 10,800, Caswell 2000, Alamance 16,000, Orange 11,300, Wake 12,000, Johnston 6000. town of Petersburg, Va. 27,000, Bockingham,500r-making in all $53,000." . ' ' : From this report it will be seen that Gov. Morehead can now afford to sneer at a subscription which was 10,000 more than he ; said it was, and nearly a third as much as was actually subscribed by nine other communities at a time when the Central Bail Boad was at an extreme pinoh at a subscription which was within $5,400 of trebling the subscription of his own county of Guilford at that time, and fifty-four times as much as the county of Bockingham sub scribed. . f But if Gov. Morehead can sneer now, the Hillsboro' convention of 1850 did not sneer at the -subscription of the town 'of Peters burg in 1850, for we find the following among the ptoceedings : " ' Mr.-Phillips introduced the following resolution : Resolved that the counties of Rotvln, Cabarrus, Guilford and Davidson the city of Petersburg, and the towns; of Wil mington and Newberne have laid the State under an obligation which can never be re paid or forgotten.' -This Resolution was also adopted." To show the conditions pf affairs, and the procpects of the. Central Bailroad, as pain fully realised at the tim? by this now sneer ing Governor, we. quote from the proceed ings of jtho meeting the following extract : ! Governor Morehead stood at the back pfth President, and looked the picture of despair ; silence pervaded the assembly, save the whispering of the zealous friends of the Boad, urging others to join with them in ta king tbe remainder of the stock," (Graphic description truly of pale fear and wan despair.") ' ' " Mr. Thomas "said he would like to know what was the matter with Governor More head he looked very pale. A man by tbe name of Cleveland was once travelling in the North-west, and unfortunately his borse took siok and died. While the poor fellow was grieving over his dead horse, a little market boy came up, and seeing Cleveland ( in dis tress, he dismounted, and after walking around the horse, he put on a very knowing look, and said, "he is dead, and that's all that ails him" the Goverhor.'ieminded him of Cleveland. He could say to him, "its idead, and that's all that ails it." No sneering at the Petersburg subscrip tion then, no intimations of a Danville Bail Road connection at that time not a bit of it. , But quite another thing. "The Gover nor responded from his heart to) the vote of thanks to Petersburg for her. liberal sub scription. : .' ;. i We have replied-jthus far to Gov More head's remarks concerning our position. We have not of course adverted to bis charge that we alluded to what transpired in a, com mittee. x That was too bald to impose on the most common understanding, inasmueh as we were not in the committee room, (e ven if the" proceedings of the committee were re garded as confidential which we utterly de ny) and derived our information of what be did say,- from sundry- persons;, or in other words, from common report.f I " When we feel in tho humour for so doing, we iwill resume the argument to show that the Central, and other Boads of North Car olina, together with the established improve-' ruent system of the State, and all the hopes ortwietLlor atccmnlishine anvthins crorosed at hs in- i . . " 7- '. . r' ' I i' , : ception as an equivatenworaneiargeldebt incurred, will be materially injured, Ifnot j destr0Ted fcyShis Danville connection, j ' p j- va the mean time, we say to thesubsom ! bers to the Bcgi"ter- who have stopped their papers on account-of its oppdsition to the' Danville cormecjion, as well as to those who have threatened to "stop if the opposition is persisted in, that we shall do ourf duty care less of jpowqnences personal to ourself. We have attempted to avert a. blow at what we believe to be the best interests of tbe State, and we shall, continue to attempt to do' so j If in doing so, we shall ourself be struck down, we shall not be . the first, cor .will we be the last , who has paid a penalty for defending the right, and endeavoring to avert the wrong. Col. A. C. Pinley, Cashiet of the ' Exchange B i kof Clarkaville, MeJdeuburj county, Va., die-l o the?5Ui.iflV THE STANfiARDANDTHE DANTILLE ; We hayp beenrepeatedly asked, why it is that the "standard has maintained so stnqi a silence in reference .to-thJ measure of the Danville connection. J.t ig a leading paper of the State, published at the seat of"Govern ment, and well posted on all subjects of do mesUo in'erest, and yei, when an important, a very important measure is; up for action before the Legislature, that paper is stricken, quoad hoc, perfectly dumbi Wa have heard, that' the Senior Editor of the Standard has assigned forita tacturnity the rea?pTj i that the paper is the organ of ; the Democratic Partij of the- State, and ought not to inter fere with measures of this character. Now, this reason if a9signed--ri! no reason at all. Neither Whiggery nor Democraoy enter in to the question at all, asVis abundantly proved by the fact that Whigs and Demo crats vote for or against itwithout any, the slightest reference to party politics as for example Messrs. Morehead and Settle, the one a Whig and the other a Democrat, are zealous for it. If the c6urse of the Stan dard is to be influenced by the fact that as the. organ of its Party in the State, it would be improper in it to speak out on measures of a' peculiarly' domestic nature, we may look forward to a continued case of lock-jaw on its part, cbncerning.every. measure of do mestie legislation which is now, or may be hereafter before the Legislature. And thus will be presented, an anomaly no less strik ing than this that an influential Paper, re ceiving a liberal support from the people of the Stated and. from the Treasury of the, State, holds it to be its duty to devote all its energies .to the maintenance of the po wer of its Party in reference to federal party ob jects, to the entire ignoring of all State con cerns. ' '. . 'I THE LEGISLATURE. , . No business has been done in either House of the General Assembly sinoe Thursday last. The Speakers Messrs. Clark and Settle have regularly gone through the motions" of calling their bodies to order, but wijh no other result than to count the members be fore Yhem and adjourn. The' former gentle man had fn his dignified body -only two at tendants on one day. It is nor. probable that there will be anythiug like a working asser&blage before Monday.

A.' a "J m J "j A Geavx Chaegs -The : Editor; of the War rentes News, writing to his paper from Baleigh, under date Decempr-3 1st,; says :, .. . ,J ! " Skice writing the above, Mr. Faribault, acob.' league bf Mr. Haywood, has introduced a resolu tion of inquiry into the right of several ioembers to hold their seats. It is to be regretted that this ill advised measure has been Introduce by a De mocrat. As a party , we will be neld aocounuble for that delay in the public business which will be the certain consequence of this resolution. Not will Mr. Faribault gain, in person al reputation, for the impression ia general that ptqu tat the de cision ' n Haywood's ase, has been th only mo live. This may do him Injustlcil, bat tetaeasurw will, be remembered and discussed when bis ex planation is forgotten. The tceasura is under siod u striking specially at Mr. Sttle ; tbeothar names are merely a cover for an attack on the D mocratic Speaker.1 If it cyme from a political op ponent it would be considered as a matter of course j but coming froip it joroessed friend, itbas disgusted even those Jwno felt bound on prin ciple, to make due inquiry into the allegations." " The above 'contains a grave charge against one of the' ; representatives from .the coast; of Wake. The charge is, that actuated by txmt pique and not by a sense of public duty, Mr. Faribault has taken an .".ill-advised" step, whichliaa dis-; gnsted" a portion of the Commons, and the result of which can only be "delay in the public business." And coming as it does from a " profewed friend' . and, a professed Democrat, this charge is more se rious than if it had emanated from one of the op position. : : jj ' I i -' - Now we have.no idea that this charge is (true. -We belie ve, in the first plac,: that,whatever may be the constitutional law in the cases referred to, and whatever the decision of the Commons, Mr. Faribault was actuated by a high sense of public duty; and that "other names" were not used mere ly as a cover for !an attack on Mr. Settle. Nor is it true that the " impression is general that pique for the decision in Haywood's case has been the motive" for this movement by Mr. Faribault. Grant that it is true, and what are we to think of the action of the Commons in directing a reference ot iQ oases embraced in iitr. Farioau't's resolution to the Committee on Privileges and Elections ? Can it be possible that the; Commons, laboring un der this general J impression as to the unworthy motive of the mpver, wold have ordered a re ference of his resolution .to a committee ? i r We do not propose, heever, to argue the ques tion as to Mr. Faribaut's molives,or to go into the. subject matter of his resolution. Our only pur pose is to prote si against the injustice done Mr. Faribault by the; flows, and to expresss the belief that the House of Commons contains no jnem ber more honeti than Mr. F., or more uniform ly disposed to d j what h'ej thinks is right.- '.-.-'. j For thk "Reoistxk.
