He tbouJit this, in a measure, at least, coukrbe lice mplishcd; in the first place, by mak ing the tMiricfCdril^ payable at home instead of in X. York, as liras been the case hitherto; and, secondly, by-giving the State, as far as practica ble, .the bcmufiD of Banking now principally deri ved by individuals—that the profits now made by individual ba ikers, if the State were to unite Banking with‘Internal Improvement, might be saved, to the'State, and thus lessen the burthens of taxation—that if is in the power of the State to realize • .ri..: individuals realize—that what the State might realize, over and above six per cent., could.be laid upas a sinking fund to final ly liquidate the principal of the State’s indebted ness. -To show the great disadvantage of mak ing the State bonds payable abroad, he stated that when they fell due, payment is to be made in gold and stiver or their equivalent, the effect of which had a ruinous tendency. Suppose, said he, that the immense public debt of England had to be ]..tid in other countri's, or the debts of the States of N. York or Pennsylvania—why, the ef fect would be, that they would become insolvent, and would have to repudiate. Mr. Gilmer con tended that jf this policy (of which the'foregoing is a mere outline) should add new encouragement, to Internal Improvement, that our good old State would go on in a career of prosperity, im parting new life and vigor to it in every section. Mr. G. stated that he was nobanker himself, but that he hoped he bad common sense, and this was all that was necessary to understand and appreci ate this question. 1k had challenged his compe titor (Gov. Bragg) to come out and show his hand upon tin .-question—thatit was a question preg nant with importance, affecting the interests of the farmers and mechanics, the main stay, the bone and sinew of the State—that it was a ques tion of State policy well worthy of the serious consth ration of the Gove rnor of the State, and who vas again seeking to be elevated to that high and distinguished station. But no; he could not get him (the Goy.), to discuss it—that, instead ol disclisting subjects in which the people of tlpe State wore deeply and seriously interested, he preferred t" devote his time to talking about “ dark lanterns," the ‘ secresy ” and the “oaths” of the ’ Know Nothings, although ■ these things had been done away with I” Mf: Gilmer, on the subject of amending the Comtiitution so as to let all who vote at the Com mons-"box vote also at the Senate box, was clear, conclusi ve’ and satisfactory—showed great can dor anil hohesty—also that lie was a practical, sin cere m u... Be admitted that he and his friends hod beculfof effecting this by a Convention, as the safer and'mbfe republican plan, and one by which law making and Constitution making would be kept separate—-the people keep their own law, their own .‘"onslitutioniu their own hands, and all contest's and differences about the Constitution quieted, and .settled at once, for years to come.— Tlris he showed clearly. But he showed that the result of the struegle for the last eight years— some ontending for me mode of amendment, and s' me jor aiktber, had resulted ina failure,— that those who favored the amendment by the Leg.slature li.ul filled, CT the want of a two- thirds vote iii the Senate—that he and others, who desired all who voted at the one box to vote also at me ether, but who advocated the repub lican mode of. a convention of the people, had for the same, cause failed—that it was important that this question should be ended, and for this purpose-’ he and bis friends had tried to amped -the bill, so that they could vote for it, and ,their votis L'. .• iti-fitiory to their constitu- ent^ the iti lold’ers, their immediate consti- t sfied-—that if the conven- !i. 1 mode nothing could be done, and if those who insisted on tile Legist Jativ^muie persisted, nothing could be done, . He showed that by reason of the land being protected, those who were, more interest cd in slave property, in the cunvend mi of 1835, very properly insisted that : > be protected against unequal taxation by the assembly : that this was granted- and that now, slave property, by an express provision of the Constitution itself, was secured again t unequal and excessive taxation —so is Lin'd by the provision that landholders alone elect the Senate. That if, in providing to let all vote for Senators, the bill had gone on and made .. 1 liPH-ailo/wl provision. providing that the Assembly si,, uld not have power to tax the lands proportionally higher than the taxable white and slave polls-then ^w C‘'H.ditufional provision, providing for equality of taxation, would Lave .answered all the purposes of the Senate— and that this provision being added to the free 1 1 contain it,) be never could.see any fair or reasonable objection' with any wi n really wanted the measure to pass— That no voter, whether be owned land or not, could have any objection, He called attention - to the 106tli page of the following, to wit: • Mr. Ashe moved to amend the bill by adding the following as .Section 2d, viz: • ’-Be it further enacted, (three-fifths of each House oncurriDg) that the following be inserted as,an additional amendment to the Constitution:” ‘ That.no tax shall be imposed and levied by the General Assembly on real estate, which shall ex ceed the proportion to the capitation tax of 6 • cents on the hundred dollars value of land, to twenty cents on each poll.” • “Those who.-voted in the affirmative, are Ashe, 'Cherry, Christian, Davis, Baton, Eborn, Freeman, Gilmer, Graham, Haughton, _Lane, McCleese, Mitchell, Monsey, Rayner, Thomas, of Davidson, ’.Wiggins, Willey, and Winslow, of Pasquotank — hp •■"Those who voted in the negative, are Biggs, n, Clark, Coleman, Gunning- Lam, Drake, Faison, Fennell, Fisher, Fonville, Herring, Hoke, Jones, McDowell, Mar tin. Mills. Oldlield, Person, Sanders, Speight, Taylor, Thomas, of Jackson, Walker, Wilder and ■Wood—29.” He went on in a clear and conclusive manner to show, that' had. this amendment been added, the bill would have had his vote, and nearly the whole Senate—that the amendment was proper and just—that it would have put land and slaves cn th name footing as to paying and being lia- oersmp or the American party, save the ap proval of its principles. Mr. G. then stated, (what is a matter of history,) that the position occupied by the Disunionists, in the Nashville Convention, in 1850, was identical, in reference to the Missouri Compromise, with that occupied by the Black Republicans at this time. That the proceedings of that Convention will show that they were then in favor of the extension of the Missouri Compromise to the Pacific ocean as an ultimatum—that, if this were not done, they were for dissolving the Union. Now, said Mr. G., the Missouri restriction having been repealed, the Black Republicans insist upon the restoration of this restriction as an ultimatum. He also showed that the Democratic Convention of this State, in 1860, were in favor of abiding by the Missouri Compromise, by the adoption of the fol lowing resolution: “ Resolved, That the Compromise, known as the Missouri Compromise, was adopted in a spirit of mutual concession and conciliation; and though the South feels that it detracts from her constitutional rights, yet for their love of the Union, this Convention is willing to abide by it, and would cheerfully see all the distracting ques tions settled on this basis.” At that time, continued Mr. G., the Raleigh Standard, the organ of Gov. Bragg's party, de nounced those who were for abiding by the Com promise of 1850, as “ submissionists.” He then read the pledge that was signed by Clay, Foote, Clemens, Stephens, Howell Cobb, and many other distinguished gentlemen, Whigs and Democrats, to the effect, that they would Dpt support for President or Vice President, for Senator or Rep resentative in Congress, or for member of aState Legislature, any man, of whatever party, who was not known to be opposed to the disturbance of the Compromise of 1850, or.to the renewal, in any form, of agitation, cither in or out of Con gress, upon the subject of slavery. He spoke thus to show the inconsistency, not to say the hypocrisy, of the Democratic party, in relation to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Mr. Gilmer next alluded to the course pursued by Mr. Fillmore as President; that this pure pa triot, during the whole of his administration, did not appoint a single freesoiler to office, but, on the contrary, when he found one in office, he turned him out and placed in his stead a sound national man, in favor of the finality of the Com promise of 1850; that Mr. Fillmore not only signed the Fugitive Slave Law, but enforced it stringently during his term of office, threatening, when the law was about to be placed at defiance in the city of Boston, that the law should be enfor ced, or Boston would be reduced to ashes! He next showed, that Gen. Pierce, by a resolution adopted by the Baltimore Convention that nom inated him in 1852, was pledged to resist the agi tation of the slavery question either in or out of Congress. A similar resolution was adopted by the National Whig Convention of the same year. In. consequence, said Mr. G., of the general ac quiescence in the Compromise of '50, when Gen. Pierce became President on the 4th of March, 1853, the agitation of the slavery question had ceased, and peace, quiet, and harmony reigned throughout the land. But how, inquired Mr. G., is it now ? It was needless for him to an swer this question. The country was known to be distracted by sectional excitement and contro versy, and really in more imminent peril than previous to the adoption of the Compromise of 1850, notwithstanding Mr. Pierce's pledge that he would discountenance agitation either in Con gress or out of it! Mr Gilmer significant!}' sta ted in this connection that Mr Fillmore was the son of a poor farmer, while Gen. Pierce was the son of a Governor. He then charged, and dar ed Gov. Bragg to deny it, that President Pierce, in the dispensation of patronage in the North, discriminated largely in favor of the abolition frlgloi] branch of his party—that he (Gen. Pierce) turned out Judge Bronson, as Collector in the city of New York, not because he was dishonest or inefficient, as an officer—for it was admitted that his qualifications were ample; but because he would not turn out national conservative men and appoint, in their places, men who were known to be freesoilers and abolitionists. Gov. Bragg did not attempt to deny this charge or excuse the act; but said nothing about it. Mr. Gilmer then stated that if Mr. Fillmore, when President, had been guilty of such an act as this of President Pierce, he (Mr. G.) would have turned his back upon him and denounced him as he deserved, and he believed that all his old friends would have done the same thing. But a Democratic President can do such a thing with impunity, and his party friends in the South will defend him in the act! Mr. Gilmer then referred to a report, in the Standard, of the discussion between himself and Thos. Settle, Jr., in Stokes county, in which he (Mr. G.) is charged with having said that he was in favor of the restoration of the Missouri Com promise. He pronounced this a gross misrepre sentation. Mr. Gilmer here distinctly stated, that whatever might have been his views as to the propriety of disturbing the Compromise of 1820, yet, that act having been repealed, opposed as he was to sectional agitation, he was for abid ing by and maintaining the Nebraska Kansas act in its integrity; although he thought that the Squatter Sovereignty principle it embraced was a bad one—that this principle some years ago had been denounced by Mr. Calhoun and other Southern rights men as even worse than the Wilmot Proviso. Mr. Gilmer then discussed, with great ability, the question of foreignism ; read the sentiments of Washington and Jackson, showing that those great men and pure patriots advocated the same doctrines now advocated by the American party. He maintained that if the evils of foreign influence were such as to excite the alarm of those men, when the number of immigrants annually was but a few thousand, how much greater are the evils now, when the number annually spewed upon our shoresis half a million ! Toshow what Gen. Jackson thought of the evils of foreign in fluence, Mr. G. stated that his (Gen. J.’s) chief objection to the United States Bank was that foreigners held stock in it and thus controlled the finances of the country. He also read the senti ments of Mr. Buchanan, many years ago, when that distinguished statesman thought there was much danger to be apprehended from foreign in fluence. Mr. Gilmer next spoke of the Janus-face char. spose oi me sunermgs ana martyrdom or our an cestors in defending the Protestant religion—that they were persecuted for righteousness’ sake, but were willing to die rather than abandon their principles. Mr. Gilmer said that he abused no one—that he was willing to stand or fall by his principles —that the staple of Gov. Bragg’s speech was abuse and denunciation of the American party, but that because he abused good men and pat riots, it did not change them to bad men—that some years ago Mr. Clingman abused the Demo crats as a set of knaves and guilty of the grossest kind of corruption ; but that because Mr. Cling man said so it did not make them so; and it would seem that Mr. Clingman did not believe so himself, for that he had now joined them, when it is pretty certain they are no better now, to say the least of it, than they were then. After paying a handsome compliment to the ladies, who were always for their country and the Union, Mr. Gilmer concluded his speech.— He discussed several minor topics, which we have not embraced in the foregoing report. The speech was an able defense of American principles, and, in regard to matters of Sta e policy, showed that Mr. Gilmer is the man for the times. Mr. Bragg commenced by saying that he had no compliments to pay to our county. He ad mitted that Mr. Gilmer, as a member of the Leg islature, had voted for all liberal Internal Iin- provement projects, calculated to develope the resources of the State: Ho had very little to say himself about Interna! Improvements—compared him self to the man who was carried to the whip ping post, who besought the Sheriff when he shuck high to strike lower, and when he struck low to strike higher—that he found it difficult to and-so tc — -.otherbood, that their interests should be one and the same, and that hereafter forever there should be no dis cord ; or abstraction between them. Mr. Gilmer showed most conclusively that though his adver saries were endeavoring to make him the peculi ar friend and advocate of the West in order to prejudice the East against him, yet that he had never done or said' aught in her behalf that he would not do or say under like circumstances for any other section or people—that never did he refuse aid or relief to the East when he was call- e I upon by his Eastern friends to give it; but, Mr. Editor, I am violating the promise I set out with, “that I would not ’attempt an outline of the speeches,” so I will hold up. Suffice it to say that Mr. G. was listened to with the most pro- f >nnd and respectful attention- throughout his entire speech, and gave entire satisfaction to all the good and true Whigs.and Americans present, and even to some few democrats his speech was It was then . ..

He said | ha^ in attempting to make the American party he would refer his readers to his Inaugural Ad dress, if they would know his views upon this subject. (Wishing to reserve bis ammunition for “Sam,” the subject of Railroads, Common Schools, and matters of that sort were “side issues,” and he was too smart to be drawn into a discussion of these subjects to the neglect of the “paramount question ” of Know Nothingism.) He denounced, as he did two years ago, the proposition of the Whigs to distribute the public lands among the States for Internal Improvement purposes, as a luunbu^. Dot i^ rr^glooted, to state that the Congress now in session, during this Democra tic Administration, have appropriated 1.500,000 acres of land to Iowa to build railroads in that State, when, in fact, these lands belong as much, by right, to North Carolina, as to Iowa. In regard to the question of financial reform, the Gov said he would not and could not be forced to discuss it. He confessed he did not un derstand it, (a humiliating confession for a Gov ernor to make,) and, therefore, could not be ex pected to discuss it. He then made a very un successful attempt at demagogism, by saying that if the proposed bank or banks made anything, it was to come out of the pockets of the people.— We differ with the Governor, and contend that the benefits of banking are reciprocal, benefitting alike, as a general thing, the borrower and lend er. Certain it is, no sensible man would become a borrower, if he thought he would be injured by it. The Governor professed to be a very candid man—did not wish to deceive the people—said he was in favor of a sinking fund, but neglected to suggest a plan for creating such a fund. In regard to the State bonds, lie said it was imprac ticable to sell them in the State. But he failed to state satisfactorily why such was the case. The Governor then mounted the Free Suffrage hobby, and rode it quite as dexterously as his illustrious predecessor. He charged that Mr. Gilmer’s vote killed Fr^e Suffrage in 1852, when, in fact, Weldon N. Edwards, the Speaker of the Senate, and a particular friend of Gov. Bragg, gave the casting vote and killed it. Wo were ‘^t the killing” and saw it done with our own eyes. He admitted that all the Western people’ were in favor of a Convention, and yet he advised them to go against what they believed to be right! He said that Mr. Gilmer’s idea about taxing land more than polls was “entirely chimerical’'—said it was a sufficient protection, that the Senators were each required to have a property qualifica tion of 300 acres of land, and that they could not pass a law to tix their neighbors, without taxing themselves, r l'he Governor is perhaps not aware that this qualification, in many cases, is merely nominal, particularly in this mountain region, where 300 acres of mountain land can be pur chased for a mere song. The subject of Know Nothingism was then brought upon the tapis, and here wo must refer our readers, if they would know what Gov. B. said on this prolific theme, to Mr. Clingman’s man ifesto before the last August election, and to the still later one issued to his constituents a few odious by abuse and detraction. As soon, howev- er, as he commenced this mode of. warfare, his hearers began to leave him, and before he got half through the large crowd had dwindled down to some thirty-five or forty locofocos and some fifteen Americans and Whigs, who remained solely out of respect to the Governor of their State. Governor Bragg, perceiving this, closed his speech before his time was out. saying that he discovered the people were becoming wearied and that he would stop,, though he had not said all he desired to say. In conclusion I will say, iLa.t to August you may expect to hear the usual report from Burke County—a handsome majori ty against the Democracy. Truly, yours, T. weeks ago. views in full. his song, There they will find the Gov.’s This subject was the burthen of devoting at least two-thirds of his time to it. We speak in sincerity, when we say, that our State pride was wounded, when we sat and heard our State Executive descending to the mis erable, low, contemptible warfare against the American Party, that had characterized thecourse of such a blackguard as Wise, of Virginia, and such a miserable demagogue as Clingman. He even imitated Clingman in quoting Scripture.— There was neither reason, sense, nor wit in any thing he said. It was a glaring attempt to blind the people with prejudice, by railing against the secrecy and oaths of the order, which have long been done away with. In reply to the letter of Gen. Washington, read by Mr. Gilmer, in rela tion to the evils of foreign influence, Gov. Bragg said that the Father of his country had probably written it hastily, whilst in a bad humor, and that his cooler judgment did not sanction the sen timents it expressed! What a charge to make against 1he great and illustrious Washington !— Certainly Gov. B.’s cooler judgment will not al low him to repeat so sacrilegious a charge. Hav ing neither facts nor argument to bear against the American Party, Gov. Bragg seems to rely for success upon popular ignorance. In this we think.be is much mistaken. The people are more intelligent than he seems to suppose, and the first Thursday in August will a tale untold, and strike the scales from his eyes; and we sup pose he will conclude, after the first of January, 1857, that “the post of honor'is the private sta tion.”—Ashville Spectator, The Caning Affair.—We are as much the friends of law and order, and of freedom of speech and of the press, as it is reasonable to be; but not of the abuses which are too often perpetrated in these names. There are points beyond which even the most salutary and conservative rule may become a galling oppression, and that is when it tolerates licentiousness and thereby, requires pas sive obedience and non-resistance under circum stances of the greatest provocation. We consider that a member of a court, or of a legislative body, forfeits his privilege of free discussion when lie descends to scurrilous and libellous personalities ■ and that he lays himself open to personal chastise ment, as the only remedy within the reach of the ag grieved party, who, if he chooses to inflict it, can not be said in strict truth arid justice to have com mitted any breach of privilege, though he may of the peace, and consequently subject himself to such penalty as a jury of his peers shall assess. Nor have we any fears for the liberty of the press, or sympathy with any member of it when he draws down upon himself a severe retribution from some party whose feelings and character hehas outrag ed by abusive and slanderous personalities. No good end can be attained by a departure from courtesy and respectful language either on the floors of Congress or in thecolumns of a newspaper It was Goldsmith, ., we believe, who uttered the sentiment, that the heaviest calamities are often borne with philosophic resignation, where little villainies penetrate the soul and sting it into mad ness. And thus, while the severest wounds are given in the polished language of debate, [gentle men use no other,) and borne without wincing coarse and slanderous invective defies all human effort to preserve an equanimity of temper, in keep ing with the dignity of the House—and “ quite athwart goes all decorum.” With regard to the special case of Senator Sumner, our only regret, if we may allow our selves to feel any on the occasion is, that he, a member ofso grave and dignified a body as the Senate of the United States—perhaps we might here add, once was—should so far have forgot what was due to his senatorial position, to the State which he represented, and to his own self- respect, as to have indulged in such language as his used in debate—so grossly scurrilous, vitu perative and insulting as to have provoked the .chastisementhe received. . "Mark you—although it was inflicted on him in the Senate chamber^ was not until after the Senate had adjourned.— His attack on Mr. Butler was the most dastardly, unmanly and unpardonable, from the fact of that OVER-REFINEMENTS OF LANGUAGE. The following admirable hit is from the New- Orleans Picayune. It touches a point upon which all readers of modern literature must have spent some admiration: “Among all the improvements of the age, none, perhaps, are more striking than those which have recently been made, and, indeed, are at present making, in the language of ordinary life. Who, in these days, ever reads of boarding schools ?— Nobody. They are transformed into academies for boys and seminaries for girls; the highest classes are “establishments.” A coachmaker’s shop is a “repository for carriages;” a milli ner’s shop, a “depot;” a threadseller’s, an “em porium.” One buys drugs ata “medical hall;” wins of a “company;” and shoes at a “mart.”— Blacking is dispensed from an “institution;” and meat from a “purveyor.” One would imagine that the word shop bad become not only con temptible but had been discovered not to belong to the English language Now-a-days, all the shops are ware-houses, or places of business;” and you will hardly find a tradesman having the honest hardihood to call himself a shop-keeper. There is now, also, no such word as that of tailor, that is to say, among speakers polite. “Clothi er” has been discovered to be mere elegant, al though the term tailor is every bit as respectable. Instead of reading that, after a ball the com pany did not go away till daylight, we are told that the joyous groups continued tripping on the light fantastic toe until Sol gave them warning to depart. If one of the company happened to tumble into a ditch, we should be informed that “his foot slipped, and he was immersed in the liquid element ” A good supper is’described as making the “tables groan with every possible delicacy of the season.” A crowd of briefless, lazy lawyers, unbeneficed clergymen, and half- pay officers, are enumerated a “host of fashion” at a watering-place, where we are informed that ladies, instead of taking a dip before breakfast, “plunge themselves fearlessly into the bosom of Neptune.” A sheep killed by lightning is a thing unheard of—the animal .may be destroyed by the electric fluid, but even then, we should not be told it was dead; we should be informed that “the vital spark had fled forever.” All little girls, be their faces ever so plain, pit ted or pitiable, if they appear at a public office to complain of robbery or ill-treatment, are in variably “intelligent and interesting.” If they have proceeded very far in crime, they are called “unfortunate females.” Child-murder is elegant ly termed “infanticide,” and when it is punished capital'y, we hear, not that the unnatural mo ther was hanged, but that “the unfortunate cul prit underwent the last sentence of the law, and was launched into eternity." No person reads in the newspapers that a house had burned down; he will perhaps find “that the house fella sacrifice to the flames.” In an account of the launch, not that the ship went off the slips with out any accident, but that “she glided secure’y and majestically into her native element;” the said “native element” being one in which the said ship never was before. To send for a sur geon, if one’s leg is broken, is out of the ques tion; a man indeed may be “despatched for medical aid.” There are now no public singers at tavern dinners;"they are the “professional gen tlemen;” and actors are all “professors of the his trionic act." Widows are scarce, they are all “interesting relicts;” and as for nursery-maids, they are now-a-days universally transformed in to “young persons who superintend the junior branches of the family.” hou.se, applied the torch, a-d caught them, as they rushed madly out, on the heads of their iron p With what party, pray, sh >u!d I sworn by Him who liveth forever and ever, that such schemes shall never be enacted on American soil.

THE REMOVAL OF THE DEAD. The march of improvement in the city of New York has made the removal of the bodies in the former burial ground of the Brick Presbyterian Church, in that city, a matter of necessity.— While we are compelled to assent to the necessi ty of such transfers, we must confess that the oc- curence of them never falls to inspire us with a painful degree of regret. There is, to our minds, a sanctity about the “dreamless sleep that lulls the dead,” any invasion of which, however necessary, appears like desecration. To “sleep well,” when life's “fitful fever is past,” is certain ly a blessed boon, and the bare idea of disturbing the hallowed remains of dear departed friends, however unconscious they may be to the touch,’ causes the heart to sink within us, and the eye to water at the recollection of “days that are gone.” We have witnessed similar proceedings here du ring our boyhood, and well do we remember how they made our young blood curdle in our veins. The localities that’ were, at the time of which we speak, the resting places of the dead, have long since been built upon and are now the resorts of business or of fashion, and the quiet which then made the crickets chirp audible is now distinctly the rattle of heavy vehicles, or gay equipages.— The inhabitants of those “cities of the dead” have others to carry out our enterprise, we submit to the public the following proposition: To throw this property, with its present outfit, into joint slock at $33,000—83 shares at $1,000 each. Each stockholder to have an individual and fee simple right to a lot of land, to be beauti fully and tastefully laid out, ticketed and drawn on the 1st day of J une, 1856, when the presence of all the ‘ lockholders will be required on the ground to organize and arrange for the approach ing season. Each stockholder will be required to erect a cot tage, or building, after his own taste, to cost not less than $500, upon his private lot, to be comple ted in the next two years ensuing from date of contract. In all cases the joint and individual interest to be inseparable and the one to be transferred with the other, thus preserving the community and in dividual interest together All stockholders to have the privilege of furnish ing their own lights,, furniture and servants and to be allowed a deduction of33 1-3 per cent from the regular charges for board, and the like privi leges to be extended toany sf their friends whom they may wish or allow to occupy their apart ments. Weare persuaded that no location on the "lobe presents greater claims and more natural attrac tion to the pleasure seeker or invalid than the above during the summer and autumnal months —with facilities fortravelling completed and now in progress that will render its approach from every point of compass a trip of pleasure and re- creation. There are doubtless many persons, both in cities and the country, North, South, East and West, that like to own a summer residence in the moun tains where they could repair at any lime and live after their own taste and fashion, with theas- surance of meeting with the most refined and agreeable society that the world affords; we have therefore, adopted this expedient, hoping to meet the wishes of all Persons wishing to avail themselves of the present arrangement can do so by forwarding their names and obligations, to. be discharged by bond or otherwise, the 1st day of June next, when they will meet and become formally organized into a Company, The dates of communications in all cases to give priority in the event there should be more bidders than shares—(only three shares reserved.)
