willingly do l any act, tending to the injury of
that country. "
Appearing before you for the Just time, it is
proper that I should declare my political senti
ments. As I shall endeavor to be brief, it will be
sufficient to say that I am Democrat; that in
forming my opinions oh the subjects involving
constitutional questions, I am guiaed by the prin
ciples set forth in the writings of those early, com
mentators on the Constitution, Jefferson and Mad
ison 5 that the policy of the late administration
meets with my hearty approval, and that I yielded
to it a cordial support.

should be construed striclhi. according to its true
intent and meaning that each department of j
uovernmenr, wnetner -Kxecuuve, Legislative or
Judicial, should be confined to its appropriate and
legal sphere, and that the powers, clearly, plainly,
and specifically Tested in each, are fully sufficient
for all. the purposes of government. -By a fre
quent recurrence to fundamental principles, and
a strict adherence to the Constitution, many of
those perplexing and exciting questions which
agitate the public mind, would be avoided.
It is unnecessary to have recourse to dangerous
and doubtful constructive Dowers to authorize the
establishment of a National Bank, when we have
a constitutional Fiscal Agent, in the Independent
Treasury, which, while it is free from constitu
tional objections, has proved itself in practice , all
that its advocates anticipated, by safely keeping,
readily transmitting, and faithfully disbursing the
public monies-, while it so regulates commerce as
to prevent those fluctuations ' which in former
years filled the country with finnfal embarrass
ment, oanxruptey, and commercial distress.
There is 00 need at the present day to deprive
the President of the Veto or aoy other power
exercised by his predecessors, provided the peo

I am unable to see how this subject legimately comes

Constitution of the United States, and as sach are

Very respectfully

June 30th, 1849.
THE PROSPECT.
Our advices from various parts of the district
represent tbe old Whig fires to be kindling in
first-rate style.
On Thursday, Mr. Stanlv retched Columbia.
Lane had an appointment to spesk there that
day, but on Mr. Stanly's arrival he complained
thai he had betn quilt sick all tht morning had
a touch of the . cholera teas almost too sick to
speak. However, after dinner he got better, and
attempted to speak, but said very little, scarcely
enough to afford Mr. S. materials for a reply.
The Whigs of TyrreU we learn, gate Mr.
Stanly a most warm and cordial reception they
were delighted to see their old friend among
them, and hear his voice again. And we learn
from a letter from a friend, that in both Wash
ington and Tyrrel counties, Mbut one sentiment
pretaiis, and that is a cordial snd undivided sup
port of the nominee and that .both counties
will do thetruU duty."
On Friday, Mr. Slanly spoke at little Alliga
tor ; on Saturday at Cool Spring; on Monday at
Skinnersville ; 00 Tuesday at Lee's Mills; and
to dsy is to speak at Plymouth.
In Craven, we learn, the nomination is receiv
ed with great enthusiasm.
And the following extract of a letter from Car
teret will show the feeliog there :
' No nomination could have been more sccen-
isoie mine wmgs 01 uaneret. we were mainly
iiiucwieu w iu . oiaiuj iur me appropruiion oy
congress i or our nospiiai at rortamoutn, and
we are all pleased with his course while in Con
gress.' In consequence of his opposition to a
proposed change in our pilot laws in the last
General Assembly, our Pilots will go for him to
a roan. We love Stanly, and I predict for him
the largest majority Carteret has ever given for
any candidate."
Thus is tbe ball rolling snd if we do but our
duty, give a long pull, a strong poll, snd a pull
together, we shall give tbe Locos such a drub
bing in August, that it will take tbem at least
ten years to recover from iu N. S. Whig.
WHIG DOCTRINES.
We bail with satisfaction the following Resolu
tions, being a part of the Proceedings of a Mass
Meeting or the Whigs of the Stats of Michigan, an
expression of the True Blue Republican principles
of ih Whigs of that State, which will, we have no
doubt, find an echo in erery State, in which a public
expression of the general sentiment of the Whigs
shall find utterance:
w That a firm adherence te the Union of the States
and a readiness to protect and defend the same against
all foes, foreign or domestic, are with us cardinal prin
ciples, from which tee will never depart The Urion
is the palladium of our safety from the attacks of
other Powers, and our sure and abiding guaranty of
liberty aod tranquility at home.
That the Constitution vests in Congress grest
and beneficial powers in regard to the improvement
of the navigable rivers and lakes connecting or tra-
versing different States : and that it ir its dvt to ex-
ercise these powers vpon the great chain of Northmes-1
tern Lakes, on which so vast an amonnt of propertyM
annually afloat an amount surpassing, we believe,
that employed in the foreign trade of the U. States,
and yearly increasing. The Northwest has surely
done its duty iu defending the country sgaiust for
eign foes, snd acted well its-part in the work of set
tlement and civilisation, in feeding the less fertile
portions of our country, and in contributing to the
national treasury ; and we therefore expect from the
national representatives liberal sppropristions for
harbor improvements, the removal of sand bars and
other obstructions that impede commerce and en
danger human life.
4iThat we rejoice at the election of 7.
Taylor to the Presidency, and Millard Fillmore to
the Vice Presidency of the United States.
as we do, that it will check the spirit which has existed
tn the public mind to thirst for ooxsr. militn, lr-u
and dominion ; thai it will secure the blesainm of
peace and peaceful relatione with all the nations of the
earth ; that it will ensure domestic tranquility, a jutt,
honest, faithful and efficient administration of the Go
vernment : ana we Hope it will put an end to the
practice of prostituting Executive patronage to pro
mote the elevation of ambitious aspirants to the
Presidency." '
HON. EDWARD STANLY.
w)V rrj,"ce to ,earn that this indomitable
vvhig. whose name is associated so intimately
with the success of 1840, snd who, for so many
years, has stood conspicuous as one of tbe truest
and moat uncompromising champions of our glo
nous cause, has again been put in nomination for
Congress, and with every-prospect of a triumph
ant election.
A general convention of delegates from the
counties comprising the Newborn District was
neiaat Washington, IX. C, on the 19th instant,
when Mr. Stanly waa unanimously nominated to
fill the vacancy of Mr. Bryan, who was compell
ed to decline the canvass from illness.
It affords us more than ordinary pleasure to
announce this noratnaion, for, .besides reviving
pleasorable associations of the psst, the presence
of such men in Congress furnishes aasurance that
the meaaurea of the Administration will be ably
sustained, and that the patriotic labors of those
composing it will be properly vindicsted. If we
may judge from the temper of the Washington
Union and its satellites over the country, a war
will be waged at tbe ensuing session, to be char
acterised as much by violence as by the. absence
of truth or justice. To meet such unscrupulous
assauams, mere soouia oe ooia ana true men in

charge of their whole duty, snd who will not suf

vTbe New York Herald publishes a memoir of
this diitinguisoed man, (who is now on a visit
to our shores,) from which we exUact the fol
lowing interestiov information ; :: ! ? : J
Theobald Matbew was born at Thomistoo
near Cashel, in the county of Tipperary, on tbe
10th of October 1790, and was left an orphan at
early are.
lie Is descended from a very ancient Welch
family. The records of the Principality carry
the pedigree bsek lb Gwsythvoed, Kioff of Car-
digan, in direct descent from whom, was Sir Ds-
Ti5 M4lheWt lhe atatsndard bearer of Edwsrd
iv tk. .....uu ;uan ,l.
iLTwlIffi fS.
ne, from which it .appeared that Father Main-
. . 1 . a a-
w ancestors were hieh titled nobletnen, and
the possessors of vast estates, in the counties of
Glare, Gal way, Cork and Limerick These es
tates were, conveyed awsy from the Mathew
family, by Lady Elizabeth Mathew, sister of the
last Earl of Llandaff, She died in 1842, and be
queathed the whole to a French nobleman, Vis
count de Chabot. What is singular enough, the
old lady, who had adopted and brought up Father
Mathew, made htm executor of the will, but be
declined to act. The castle and domain of Thom
aaton is one of the roost beautiful places in Ire
land ; and is situated in what is called the
golden valley.,,
Father Mathew give early 'evidence of that
beneficence, which now shines forth with such
refulgence in his character. He was ever plan
ning something benevolent. He purchased the
Botanic Gardens of Cork, and converted them
into a magnificent cemetery for the burial of the
poor of every denomination. About the same time
he commenced building a Gothic Church, and
expended about $70,000 on it.
He M threw hia whole soul" into tbe temper
anea movement, hut for a time the effect was
neither brilliant nor encouraging. Still be per
severed amidst ridicule. alander, snd open bostil
ity, till st length the wonderful spectscle that
aatonished the whole world was exhibited, and
drunkards, by 1 he troops abandoned their darling
vices, from which nothing before could tesr
them. Hia fame anread rsoidlv. and the people
flocked to him from the surrounding counties, for
100 miles di.tant. most of them on foot.
He wsa rece ived in Limerick with the most
unparalleled enthusiaam, and even the Orange
party, differing in politics and religion, and hating
their Catholic neighbors, united in paying hom
age to thia extraordinary man.
To give an idea of the most extraordinary im
pulse which be had communicated to the public
mind on the subject of temperance, we may stste
that in one day. at Nenagb, 2a000 personstook
ihe pledge; in Gslway. in two days. lOOjOOO; in
Loujthres, in two days, 80.000 ; between Galway
and Loughrea, on the road to Portunina, from
180,000 to 200,000 ; in Dublin, during five days,
about 700,000. There are a few towns in Ire
land which Father Matbew has not visited, and
with like success. -
He was the advocate of u total abstinence,'
snd the Catholic population every where em
braced the doctrine preached by hin. The fidel
ity with which the pledge was kept by the people
wss extrsordinary. Many distinguished men
joined his csuse, snd such was the glowing en
thusiasm that at one time prevailed, you would
behold ladies of the first respectability, meekly
kneeling at the feet of the Apostle of Temper
ance, to receive his blessing. ...
Many of the Catholic prieatbood in Ireland were
not friendly to him, and Mr. OXonnell never liked
him. Both the arch-agitator snd the clergy, as a
body, were jealous of bis influence and aisfame.
Recently be lost mueh of his populsrity by sccept
ing a pension from Government, which the extreme
pressure of his financial difficulties, no doubt, in
duced him to accept.' Mr. Mathew lost his means
by his labors for the people, snd embittered his life
by tbe pressure of heavy pecuniary liabilities. His
privsts resources, not very Isrge, were cheerfully
expended in the temperance cause.
He had one brother embarked u distilling ; one
of his sisters wss married to an eminent distiller;-
and another brother was married to a lady wboee
family was extensively engaged in the manufacture
of whiskey. But, regardless of the commercial in-
jury his own friends snd kindred must suffer from
th e&nae at temnaranee regardless of his own Pe-
euniary losses, he entered on his course of exertion,
and never alackened in bis tolL
A marnificent Gothic Tower, costing 2.500, in
tended to commemorate the kind reception given to
him by tbe Londoners; In the year 1843, was erected
to Father Mathew. by Mr. Wa O'Connor, of Cork,
at his own residence, Mount Patrick.
Two years ago, Father Matbew was one of the
candidates for the vacant biahopriok of Cork, and
we believe be obtained the highest number of votes ;
but an influence was used against him at Rome, and
such representations mads to his Holiness the Pope,
that the office was given to the next worthy. It has
been stated, that after the election, and in snticipa
tion of a ratification of his favor, hs invited all the
Clergy of Cork and its vicinity, to a sumptuous
banquet Wines of the choicest vintage snd most
costly description flowed in abundance, and even
" the mountain dew" had an honored place on the
table. Use was made or this sgainst him. But it
ought to be recollected that Father Mathew never
adopted the cynical principle of refusing brandy, or
whiskey, or wine, to those who desired it. Many of
his best friends rejoioed at his defeat, though tbe
country generally was indignant at it. Had he been
made a bishop, it could not have added one iota to
hia greatness, while the duties of such an office
would neeessarily have interred hhn completely with
his peculiar calling.
He used to boast of his robust frams and ruddy
countenauce, as a specimen of a water drinker ; but
he is now close upon 60 years of sge, snd his vene
rable head is grey. Nothing can exceed the insin
uation rraee of hia eentlemanlr manners, or the
sweetness of his Munster brogue, refined, as it is, by
education and a highly cultivated intellect.
In Father Mathew. the Catholic priest is com-
nletelv lost in the Christian. To him Catholics
snd Protestants are of equal interest. They -are
men. Again, no man ever exhibited a mors disin
terested seaL
He is modest snd unassuming, and has no ambi
tion, except the noble one of doing good.
His eloquence is not of the highest order, but
there is a persuasive simplicity and directness about
it that befits his mission and character. His style
has been compared to that of the Apostle fauL
From the Knickerbocker.

THE VITAL BTATE.SUBJECTr
Wb must" at this juncture be indulged, in occu-
nvimr a considerable portion of our paper with
matter' intended o operate .'upon the minds of
those who are disposed to inrestiate the vital
subject of railroad improTement through the ceo
tre of our Hiale. V do time tor actum is at nana ,

have two other hi reasons for the execution of
the work, which, as North Carolinians respecting
the character and unity of our otate, we una it
impossible to overlook or disregard, in our re
flections on the subject! , .
In the first place, if the present chsrter be not
secured and the road built, the East and the
West will be dissevered forever I We want the
knnl nf union tarnished bv a railroad to make

tween' the two sections of the State, sre now
sufficiently diasgreeable and they are growing
worse every day. We know of nothipg except
the iron bonds of mutuality and identity of interest
that can nut an end to this state of things. It
affords but little alleviation to our minds, in con
templation of this thing, to know tnst ttie popular
power, is gradually and surely progressing snd
accumulating in the WesU and that rmf time is
hastening when we can, ana wnen wemu u..
dcr the present dissevered condition of the State,)
make the East feel it. Though we live iu the
Wear, we Snot the printers alone, but we the
neonhO are NORTH CAROLINIAN in our
views snd feelings ; and it is the first wish of
nnr hrta. aa such, to oreservs the ancient in
tegrity of the State. Our friends of. the Cast,
aa well as the West, ouvl.t to consider. these
things.
Tbe other reason, and one which has not we
apprehend been sufficiently insisted -upon is
founded in the facUhat the conatruction of the
Central Road is the only mean of saving tbe
Ptate from a hesvy loss in the Rsleigh and Gas
ton Road. This is a stubborn fact which re-
a aires no comment, except a reference to tbe fi

As to the general effect of a railway upon eve
ry popular interest, we have given line upon
line the views of practical and intelligent men,
whenever they hsve come in our way. We ad-

There was no disposition manifested either in

as sn inducement to men to embark their meaua
in this enterprise. Higher motives weresppeal-
ed to; and we are happy to believe that higher
motives influenced the members of that conven
tion, and will influence the people generally.
All, however, seemed to concur in the opinion
that the stock would be safe, snd ultimately a
mong the roost profitable investments that could
be made.
It is to Ihe increased value of the, lands along
the Road, that the people must look for more im
m2 dials' reimbursement snd profit. Gen. Mc
Rae, the President of the Wilmington Road, stat
ed the astonishing amount of increase in the as
sessed talue of the lands along the Road; and
went on to say that be .believed he could give
good security for the performance of a contract
to build Ihe Central Railroad, 210 miles, from
Goldsboro to Charlotte, provided he could get in
payment Ihe increased value of the lands within
four miles on each tide of said RoadUer it should
be completed. In other words, the increased
value of the lands within a strip eight miles wide.
including the Kailroad, would be three millions
of dollars. Greensborough Patriot. .
NORTH CAROLINA FAIRLY AROUSED TO
A SENSE OF HER OWN INTEREST.
We are glad of an opportunity to call ths atten
tion of our readers to the great workenerslly known
by tbe name of the Ucntial Kailroad, wbiohu is pro
posed to construct within the State of North Carolina
The General Assembly of that Stste, in a spirit of
liberality which it never before exerted to the same
extent, granted a Charter for incorporating a com
pany to construct a Railroad from Goldsborough, in
tbe county of Wayne, by way of IUleigh and Salis
bury, to Charlotte, iu Mecklenburg county a dis
tance of about two hundred and ten miles-and agreed
to subscribe to the stock of that company Two Mil
lions Dollars on behalf of the State, whenever indi
viduals shall have subscribed One Malta Dollars,
and paid up one-half of that sum. Tbe eastern ter
minus, Goldsborough, is at the Neuse river, at the
neaa OI navigation, atm pumiwacrs iu, iiuuug-
ton and Roaaoke Railroad crosses that stream about

It is understood that the Georgia Railroads, waieb
wilkform a continuation of the North and South
Carolina enterprises, are profitable, and have yield
ed above six per ent. of nett profit ever siaoe the
first year after their being brought into use. Why
the ssms thing may not be predicated of the now
proposed undertaking cannot well be perceived, es
pecially after the extension of the Georgia roads to
Nashville, Tennessee, and Montgomery, 'Alabama,

doubt was felt iq relation to some provisions of the
North Carolina charter; but a Convention was late
ly hsld at Salisbury, combining a large proportion
of the character and talent of ths State, in which
these diOealties were maturely considered, and pro
nounced by that body not to be at all in the way of the
accomplishment of this great work." It is believed
that the action of this enlightened body will be satis

be very shortly commenced. : It will thus be seen
