Our, sympathies have been and are STATE LEGISLATURE, On Monday, the bill introduced by Mr. Kelly, to abolish Jury trials ir) the County Courts, and to establish annually three Superior Courts, in each? couqty, came up on its second reading, and was advocated by Messrs. Kelly, Barringer aod others. Mr. Bynum offered an amendment to re quire the Judges of the Supreme Court to ride the circuits, which was advocated by himself and Mr. Woodfin ana opposed by Messrs. Haughton and f Joiner. The a mendment was adopted, but the bill, as amended, was then lost. j On Tuesday, the bill for the relief , of the purchasers of Cherokee lands came up, when numerous amendments were of fered by Mr. Bynum. The bill and a mendments were debated by Messrs. By num.Barringer, Caldwell, of Burke, Hoke, Thomas and Woodfin.1 In the course of the debate, Mr. Thomas made allusion to the personal opposition of Geri. Bynum to this Cherokee Bill and the Western Turn pike ; when that Senator took; occasion to refer to his position in the late election for Governor, and before concluding, ad ministered to David S. Reid one of the severest castigalions it has ever been our lot to listen to. He remarked that what ever expectations he may have at one time entertained, in regard to the newly elected Governor, he had now lost every hope and confidence in his political hones ty and integrity. He condemned, in most eloquent and indignant tejrms, the Govern or's recent attempt to interfere with and dictate to the Legislature. lie spoke of this conduct as undignified and unprece dented in the history 'of North Carolina. During the Afternoon Session, the Bill for the extension ol the Central Road to Newbern passed its 2d reading. Mr. Washington advocated the bill in one of his ablest and most effective Speeches.

I On Tuesday at Newton, we met with several, intelligent gentlemen from Tay- Vi lorsville and Statesville, who assured us that the disease had entirely disappeared in those quarters, not without leaving some tracks however. h The Commissioners from Henderson rj ville have published the gratifying intel i jligence. that "all the persons who hava ' ; beenafllicted with this loathesome disease ;j and now surviving, have regained their usual health, except Mr. Gash, who has recovered Irom small pox, but is still con fined from debility, occasioned by jhe heavy tax upon his system, from the ma lignant case of confluent Pox which he had to encounter."

The speech of Col. Joyper, on Thursday afternoon, before the vote was taken, is spoken of, in every unprejudiced quarter, in terms of the warmest approbation. It is well-known that Col. Joyner is strongly in favor of a rigid adherancd to the old Constitution, Mr. Shepard had led the vocated the Bill, not only because it con suited the fundamental Republican prin ciple of the Government, but because of its conformity to the usage of other States, and of the superior efficacy of Convention over Legislative amendment of the Con stitution. His reasoning was most con vincing, and his views, it appeared to us. so conservative, that they could have giv en umbrage to none, of any section. Mr. Shepard next took the floor. He with some nolice of the discrepancy between ! llss lljan six hundred persons heard .Mr. While. And if il;tre had hecn room, hundreds more would have been added to ihe .number.

We are gratified to be able -to state, from the most reliable authority, that the rumor of the prevalence of this loathsome infection at Chapel Hill is en tirely erroneous. ; The servant of Mr. McCaulry, recently brought from Itichmond, had the Chicken xx, and not the Small pox, as at first sup posed.

But of one thing weare certain : that it is their privilege, their right their unalienable privilege,their undisputed riht to je consulted inthe premises; and it is no fpss the duty3uf the representative, when their will is ascertained, to obey and to carry.it out. We have marked out our course.

Daily Reg. j b& verv ultra on the subject of Constitu tional Reform, he declared himself a con servative man, and expressed the opinion that, in Convention, his People would be content with much less than was properly due them. Messrs. Thomas and Bovver seemed to think that their constituents cared but lit tle about this question forgetting, per haps, that their colleagues in the House had voted all of them for the very Bill under consideration, and' thereby indica ted their willingness to let their constitu- i ents speak for themselves. We cannot see what serious objection there can be to consulting, the people on any subject especially, when, as by the provisions of this Bill, it is not to cost a cent ! Register, Jan. 20. Convention should have heen submitted to the people, as their right. But it seemi a practice as variant as possible from their profession has been adopted by our democratic neighbors. They are afraid to. trust the people with what is really their own, and commit to the dictation of office holders! and politicians the extent to which that pure;aud excellent voice of the peo pie shall be allowed to have utterance ! We observe that an open Convention is dreaded because the Standard says that it will give power to the Whigs of the West. Ah, then it is party after all that our indomitable" patriots would serve.

The whole expenditures mainly instrumental in giving precedent to so ! of the Survey not tp exceed $5,000 per an unsafe and anti republican a-inode of amending the Constitution. 1 After the Bill was taken up, Sir. Woodfin addressed the Senate in a strong effort in favor of fubmitting all questions1 of Constitutional Reform to the People. His reply to Mr. Shep. ard's avowal that Aw object was to defeat the vote of the People was masterly and triumph ant. IJe was followed by i Messrs. Haughton and Caldwell, of Burke, who took similar ground, and defended Iheir positions with sig nal ability.

It is included in the seventh section,-and provides that if the publisher of any paper, required by the terms of the section to publish the list of letters, shall refuse so to do, at the speci fied rate, "he thall be deprived of all the benefits of this act, and the free exchange now provided by law." This is the mot THE CENSUS. We find in our exchanges an estimate of ihe loss and gain to the several States of the Un. ion, of Representation by the operations of the Census of 1S50. By this estimate, it appears that the free Stales in the aeirrejjale, lose two members in Congres?, and the siave Slates seven. North Carolina will have one member less eight instead of nine. South Caroli. na, however, VirginPaeicepted, is the hea viest loser: she will have five, instead of seven as heretofore. This sesuh is to be rej-reited, and mighl have been avoided if our people had kept pace with the spirit ol the aje on the sub jeel of internal improvements.
