The S rrate ia in-ieentivg - aestwn-nn

will be ratified, although somewhat mod

will be altogether for the subsidiary features
of the documents. Including the tenth arti
cle, which St fa supposed can be rradi y
compromised with Ihe Mexican govern,
ment. .
The decision will te partly reached to
day; but on Tuesday, at the farthest, nhe
case will be concluded.
The friends of the treaty have gained
great atrehgth within the two lrt days;
the whigs who had generally resolved io
oppose the treaty, ha a come in since
Tuesday. Mr Webster, who ainike in
opposition to the compact on Monday, is
now aaid to be almoat persuaded to go for
peace a we can get it. Several id his
constitutions are here, and they. have warn
ed him not to resist tbe unanimous wish of
Massachusi't's, by reisting the treaty.
Col. Benton, who on the same dry took
the seme ground ol opposition to the trea
ty with Mr, Webaier, though rter appears
to be inexorable, will it i aaid, vote for
the treaty, if hi votei necessary to carry
it. The truth is, the out of door pressure
is irresistible. . . . - .
When the treaty was reported from the
Committee on foreign Relations, four out
of five of ihe commutes . were again' i

Improvement of A'cmsc and Trent Riven.
Can it be itonet
We have presented to our readers some
considerations iijion the ntcetnihj of adopt
ing early measures for the securemenl of
a better condition of the trade and general
business ofNewbe rn and the eounij-y natu
rally dependent upon this plaee Tor a mar
ket. We have endeavored to show that
thi slate of things so desirable can be
more certainly eflecteJ by rendering Neuae
and Trent River navigable at all eaon$
of the year, ihan by any other ch-ine.
These view we believe are sanctioned by
all acqi.ain ed wi:h the subject. We pro
poae now w - answer the question at the
head of this article. Can theut Rivers be
rrnderea navigable for Steamboats oj light
draught at all seasons of ths year? Can
it be done l a cost sufficiently small to
justify the undertaking? These' are impor
tant questions, and we believe may be
readily "ans wered in The affirmative. ' ' " '
Many years ago, the scheme of improv
ing thre livete was .eeriouely entertained
by our leading men throughou1 thi tec
lion. Public meeting weie held; the aid
of the Legislature waa 'invoked surveys
were ordered and made of Neuse River
by tbe Slate Engine-r, Mr Fulton; and he
published an iluborme r . port, setting forth
Hie advantagea of the improvement, and
submitted the project of a pUn and its
pr bible cost. Here the matter was per
mitted to rest for a considarable time. Al
a later period, the subject waa revived,
and talked about meeting and conventions
were held; all which resulted as before, in
nothing. Since that, the matter has, we
the notice oi the Lxulature in the kxec
utive Messages, which has had about at
much effect, aa ihe puttering of the
sluggish raia upon the resisting granite.
Such effort to arouse public feeling, in
another region and aimed at n different
class af population than ours, would have
been accompanied with good results. But
if we may be permitted to express our o
pinion freely, they have actually produced
a deleterious effect. The reason for it we
take lb be this. Our people:, generally,
if they do any thing at all, like to do things
on a grand aenfe to have ths. appearance
at l-att of Uoing a large busine; but it
must alwaya ba done upon a small capital!
Hence in he convention held, aurveys made,
plana., projected, and Jn ihe Kwcuune- re.
coinmendationa, the moat enlarged and lib
eral views were maintained, and schemes
suggested which involved a large outlay of
money. Nobody nad any objection to
making the r ver deep enough to run a
seventy-four lo Stone's Mills, . or if you
please to build dams and locks from that
point lo Kinaion. Either of these were
magnificent ui.dertskings,. suited lo the ge
niue aad public epjrit of our people, 'but
alat when tha cost came to be computed
and the bill fooled, it knocked the wi.ole
affair into a cocked hat. I hecoit of the
great scheme talked about by our people.
produced n perfect collapse, and hence
their subsequent discouraging expressions
in reference lo any enterprise of the kind
and the present indifference.. Until tery
lately, we seemed to think we ought to do
nothing until we could do a great deal.
Forgetting that all great results have small
beginnings, wa have been apparently content
to forego all the advantagea ol a email ef
fort, because we could not matte sluts.
l lieJile f luniy'iis small flat ju. such.
boats as could navigate the river al ordinary
timea, never seemed to take, and therefore
scarcely anything was done except during

the river, who -made a 1000 or more barrel
of corn or turpentine, seemed to think it. a
poor business to load a flat carrying only
400 barrels. H must wait until a flat
carrying 500 could coie down, ai.d the
consequence was bit produce being delay
ed, it waa liab'e to wa!et to leprication
in value, and ofien sold at a reduced price.
The fol'y of our former couise ia now be
coming apparent. . .
When tho Messrs. DiWle commenced
running the little steamer Wayne upon the

CHARLES-MANLY ESQ
This gentleman ia the nominee of. the
Whig State Convention which met in Ual

Ol him we know but little. We under
stand however that lie is'a gentleman and a
good Whig ami able advocate of Whij
principle's;and has been long devoted to the
cause. Andes ihe Whig Convention in
ther assembled wisdom .thought it wise and
proper to present his name to- the people
of the State, and as we promised to sup
port the nominee of that Convention who
ever h" might be wo placed last week, at
hl of our 'paper ?For Governor
Charles Msnly." without slopping to ask
who ia Charles Msnly?" Mr. Manly may
expect from us our aiJ and influence' what
ever that may be; little or mucH,
Although we do not hold with the prin
ciple and practie ofeleetioiiering for office
and .would like to aee it done away with
aa mu -h i.t pot-aibl we do hope that Mr.
Manly will feel it hia duty to visit his fellow
citizens throughout the State and gave them
a hearty, friendly shake of the hand. The
people like to aee and know who is to pre
side over them.
Mr Manly ahould by all means visirihis
section of the slate and we hope to aee him
here as early as April Court, which is
the 4th Monday after the 4th Monday io

aaid of him that

Possessed of talents that eminently qnali
fy him to grace any office within the gift
of the People, he adds all the grscefulqual
hies of the unostentatious gentleman snd
ia emphatically the People's man" a
man whom tha plain and Republican class
or ihe people of ail putties would feel
proud of as their Governor. The nomina
lion is one tnd such as cannot fail to g ive.
the utmost satisfaction to the Agricultural
and Mechanical classes of the People of
North Carolina. Mr Manly it a Lawyer
w h stand we may ayT t the head of hf
profesaion; but then, like John M. More
head and the late Michael Hoke, be knowa
something besides law- he understands
ihe fanning and mechanical ' "interests
of the Slate and there is no man. Whig or
Democrat, wa could do more,' if aa much
as Mr. M, to advance the interests uf these
two clases. For ourselves, we must
be permitted lo declare, that no man could
be more acceptable to us fur Governor or
ant other Office, lhan Charlea Manly of

The Ijouisburg Times recom wends that
the district Convention to appoint a dele

in Louisburg, on the 11th of April, being
Tuesday of Franklin Superior Court. We
approve the time and place; and hope that
Wake and the other counties wiH appoint

We would suggest Monday of our Superior
Court as a suitable time for a public meet

dutyj. nd likewise to appoint delegates lo.a

We heartily concur with many of the

MORE OF THE TREATY. -The
Washington correspondent of tht
Philadelohia North American, in hit letter
ttflhc litinstenkjnfo
the propositions under advisement, to mod
ify the. provisions of the treaty with Mex
ico nowbeforp the Senate, is one "to strike
out the southern boundary, the GOa, as it
now agreed upon, and to substitute the par
allel of 38 30 to the ocean, which would
include San Francisco and Monterey th
Rio Grande to be adopted nn to the sooth S
line of New Mexico, excluding New-Mexico,
and a consideration of five millions to
be paid for California and the intermedials
territory." We should obtain less territo
ry, but we should get rid at the same tinM
of the obligation to pay, for that which we
relinquish, more than ten timea It value.
The woDosed line, too, as the letter to tht
North American says, "would avoid the
slavery issue, and permanently establish
great moral boundary, predicated upon tht I
basis of the Missouri Compromise. "It
would require but one third of the money
now proposed to be paid it would discard
a large portion oi the wretched populattoa
which is threatened to be burthened upon
the United States it -would exclude tht
vast desert between the parallel of 32 and
96 30, and afford every- advantage, if any
there, be contemplated by the present trus
ty, with tho exception of the portef Sat
Diego, which no one pretends is of any
considerable value.", .. - , VL-Vr"'

"The three most important proposition!
pending are"'" 1 .",,;- ,"-' --f
"1. To ratify the treaty with amend
roenta. , t.. To alter the southern Jme of tb
territory proposed to be ceded.
"8. To lay the treaty on the table and
to appoint three or five- ministers plenipo
tentiary, possessed of the rlewa "Ol w
Senate, and authorized to institute a WW
negotiation. v ' . . . . '. -"The
explanations already .made, : wiD
enable the public to discriminate aa to lb)
respective merits of these suggestion.
"The actual cost oi ine acqarrea bttiw-
ry, admitting the treaty to be confirmee,
will be about twenty-one ' million dollars
