' lit i f A corresjMdent of the New? York Tribune relates a pleasing incident of th.e President's travel, which will be in placej jie re j to satisfy thereader that there is no foundation fur the complaint we are noticing. At a small fettle ment ion the road beyond Chartibersburg, the President alighted, in a rain. He found there a liitle collection of countrymenj one' of whom he accosted.. ' l'l ' -, - I .:. "The President extended hts'hanl, but met no response. The man was in a dilemma. The General looked and the crowd wqhdered. Said the man, at length, in a plaintive tone, as if he was half sorry, half ashamed : General, I am K Democrat, arid I voted; gainst you.' Snatching his hand the President said, s that all? jl never inquire about that I arn a? glad to meet you as any man in the crowd, jl am the President of the whole people, anjd not ot a party ; l aia noi come ia see inc. uigs ic ocrats ; I came to see the people.

The Enquirer, of yesterday remonstrates. very earnestly and bitterly, against Gfneral Taylor's making such a party demonstration as ho: is said to have done at. ?4ew jYork, and says he is the first President who has behaved in that manner.

They had -been for years ridiculed and abused for tjtieir shameless subseyiency to that narrow minded, mercenary, and corrupt junto of politicians. They submitted for the sake of the spoils. They Sacrificed the interest of New York $s long as they could make any thing by the sacrifice.- They submitted in 1844 to the j nomina tian jof Mr. Polk, because they clou Id not at thlat moment rebel with safety. The union between the houses of Albany and Richmond was fhen dissolved forever. the nominal cause of the quarrel was the Wilmot proViso. It would have occurred if tKo Wilmot proviso had never; been in vented. Virginia had given the law to N. York. New York groaned under the yoke', and was resolved to give the law to Virginia, or dissolve the Democratic party. Whatever may be the result of,this con- proof, that, during (ts progress, he )blicly pledged himself to ' carry out the principles of the forty (hat elected him." It is stated jin the Democratic paper of York, Pennsylvania, and also in the Democratic cor r spondencejof the Baltimore Argus, that a de claration tujthis efTect was made by the Presi dent,! upon bis arrival at the hotel in that town. We have nut before us any friendly report of the remarks Invade on that particular occasion, but we are entirely convinced from the tenour of. the various littUj speeches which (Ren.

Johnston and jthe commiftee from York, I e made these rcmiiks: w " mm 1 T " "- JJ vaa ' MV Let as reason together, and I think that I shall be able to so place a few facta before yon that yoo will change your opinions ini this matter. An old Spanidi proverb says, " A wise man often? changes his mind, a food never will," and as I believe that there are more wiae men than-fools, I take the trouble of submitting the following to you. The cost of transportation now from Fayetteville to Salisbury, is six thousandths of a ent per pound per mite, or sixty cents for a 100 lbs. I On a Rail Road, it wonld be thirteen ten tbousandthsKper pound per mile, or for the 107 miles and 100 lbs 4 cents. Taking Fayetteville and Raleigh, and Columbia, S. C, as starting points, the merchants residing in the dif ferent County seats, which would be within fifty miles of a Central Rail Road, from Raleigh, through Salis bury, Morganton, and Asheville to the Tennessee line, at French Broad, have a general; average distance of 120 miles, to haul their goods. ; , rT If this railway were 'made, although the distance to hanl would remain the same, the cost of doing so would be very different, as follows; '.take one pound as the t. i '"'j 1 -. '-. r ' " weigni, anu we nave, .- 120 miles (3) 25 " 0 006 95 " ft) 0013 " 12 ": Add these two last together and subtract them from the first, and we have an average difference of 45 of a cent, or nearly half a cent per pound per mile upon all mer chandize carried to these places. Now, the consumer of this merchandize is the one' that pays this difference in freight that is to say, for every pound of Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Molasses or other kind of goods that he may use in the course of a year, he is now paying nearly one half of a cent tax for bring ing it to the place he purchases from, for every mile that it is carried. Now, you have no idea of the amount of tax that you are paying in this way, and I want to try and explain this to you. It is estimated that there are three hun dred stores west of Rajeigh and FayetteVille, that im port on an average, one hundred thousand lbs. each of merchandize in the year, the average distance hauled is one hundred and twenty miles, and the cost of hauling is sixty cents per hundred lbs. per hundred miles, or seventy-two cents for the hundred and twenty miles ; the whole amount of goods hauled in a year is thirty millions of lbs., and costs, as above two hundred and sixteen thou sand dollars. If the railway were smade, it would cost eighty-one thousand: the difference of which one hun dred and thirty -five thousand dollars is the annual tax that the people of the West are paying now for the want of a railway, in what- they buy from the stores above. But this is but a small part of the loss. Most of this merchandize is purchased by the consumer with the pro duct of his labor, which, is much reduced in valued I will take Corn as my exampleto show what I mean. It now takes one-third of a bushel of Corn to purchase a pound of Coffee or Sugar. If the merchant receives this as pay as it costs him forty cents a bushel to 6end it to market, he can afford to pay but twenty or twenty-five cents for it. If the railway were made, he could send this Corn to market for ten cents a bushel, and the difference of thirty cents ha could, afford to pay to the farmer, and still make ihe same profit. The farmer, then, is losing, if not paying (pretty -much the same thing) thirty cents every year on every three pounds of merchandize he uses ; or, in other words, he loses every year three million of dollars in; the depreciated val ue of his labor, which is the loss he is now paying in what he sells to the stores above. ; Now this three million one hundred and forty-five thousand dollars is what we are now actually paying for what we buy and sell to the stores." But I have not done yet, I will show you that ypu lose etill more. The whole grain crop of the United States last year, was nine hundred millions of bushels of which one hundred and twenty millions of bushels were sent out of the coun try not one grain of which was furnished by our Wes tern or Middle counties. Now, does any reasonable man doubt if we could get our Corn to market for ten cents a bushel, that we would furnish our share to this ? Let us see how much it would be. If there are twenty millions of inhabitants in the U. Slates, the above export would give six bushels to each inhabitant, and as there are Act aiid Proceedings of tlie Commit tee of Safety in Rowan. They regulated the price of Powder, and in many cases, took thajt with the lead and flints, found in the possession of merchants into their own hands. At a meeting of the Committee, Sept. 23d, 1774, Messrs. John and William Kelly, were brought before that body, by Us order, " to answer -to a charge of hav ing infringed the Provincial Resolves by selling powder at a higher ratis than it had been sold at for three months i Charleston 64 a 67 past." Thi'y acknowledged that they had sold it for ten mjngtotl 52$ a 57 trillings per poqnd, when the Committee " resolved that filfi shillings is a sufficient price for ponder at this time," an that any man who would buy, or sell it at a higher pr)e, should be deemed an enemy to his country, and trefted accordingly. ba the 1st bf June, 1775, Hugh Montgomery was brought before ithe Committee on a similar charge, of selling powder! at a higher price than that set on it by the Committee, on the 1st of August, in the same year.

M. Gorman undertook, at Salisbu ry, to get up a paper to supplant the Communicator, secretly ; in which he was aided by others not having the authority of the Grand Division, and without the knowledge of the members of the Order. " A. M. Gorman is the G. S. and su perintended the printing of the Minutes closing them thus : "A true copy from the Minutes," and signed his name. I am informed by members of the G. D. that the Report of the G. W. P. contained a compliment to the 1 Communicator,' which is suppressed in this ttue copy and the inference is plain that this was done, ei ther by the G. W. P. or G. S." There appears to be an attempt on the part of some of the members of the Order of the Sons of Temperance in this State, ! it was resolved that " John Perkins has given such an ! account of his political sentiments to American freedom, I as is satisfactory." j Nov. 7, of the same year, Jacob Beck was brought to the bar of the Committee "to give an account of his political sentiments," when he had till next morning al lowed him to Consider the matter, and David Smith was surety for his tppearance, but he failed to appear, and Smith had to go in search of him. Three days after, it is recorded that he returned with the body of said Beck, who, " from his notorious contempt of this Committee, and opposition! to American measures, was immediately committed to jail." , But being again brought before the same body, he? took the oath and signed the test. " William McBride being sent for, appeared under guard at the bar of this Committee, for contempt offered the same," when he was reproved in the name of the Com mittee by Mrir Chairman. It appeared also, that he signed an advertisement charging Capt. Thomas Whit son, with'falsehrod : of this they say, that it " is a false and scurilous performance," and that " the author there of ought to Je; treated with every mark of disrespect." They appointed a fast! Feb. 6, 1776, we find the following record : " Inasmuch as the judgment of God is at present iin an extraordinary manner impeding over this Province, Therefore, resolved, that Monday the 14th inst., be and is hereby appointed a day of pub lic fasting, humiliation and prayer in this County ; and it is recommended that the same be religiously observ ed." What this judgment of God was, is not stated. No person could take legal measures to collect a debt but by their permission. Nov. 8, 1775, James Hemp hill had leave to bring suit against Francis Bishop for a debt under five pounds. At the same time, James Hamilton had leave to bring a suit against Thomas Bai lie for assault and Battery. " Resolved, That all suits now depending in the inferior Court in the County of Rowan, ought to be tried as soon as possible but no execution issue wiihout leave. At the same time, "Re solved, That any three members of this Committee may give leave to creditors to brina suits, and issue orders 16 detain the bodies or goods of such as are about to rei j der at a time when it required hard work ' : move out ot ine county in tne same manner as this Committee could do when constituted How the executive committee are ex pected to accomplish the object f this resolution, we confess our inabtlityto dis cover.
