Governor's Message. We re
gret our inability to lay before
our readers this week, the inter
esting Message of Gov. Spaight.
The Raleigh Standard speaks of
it as follows:
"We would call the reader's at
tention to this document, which is
alike creditable to the head, the
heart, and the principles of its au
thor. It is practical in its sug
gestions, and distinguished
throughout for good sense and
sound doctrine.
The Governor is very happy
in characterizing the schemes of
nullifiers and federal whigs to
bribe the States with their own
money, by collecting from the I
people a surplus revenue for the
purpose of dealing a portion of ir
back to them again, as a "compro
mise between Nullification and a
Protecting Tariff."
But we invite every dispassion
ate man to persue the message;
and then say whether he does not
believe, with us, (hat Gov. Spaight
was most unrighteously proscribed
last August, by means of a clamor.

Hail Road Meeting. A mee
ting of the Stockholders of the
Wilmington and Roanoke Rail
Road Company was held at Wil
mington, on the 7th itist. Dr.
Samuel A. Andrews, of Waynes
boro' was appointed Chairman.
From a Report made to the
meeting, it appears that about 30
miles of the Road have been loca
ted, and 25 put under contract.
The contracts, so far have fallen
within the estimates of the Engi
neer. Six hundred tons of Iron,
spikes &c. two Locomotives, and
Wheels and Axles for 30 Cars,
have been ordered from England
deliverable in March next.
Three Instalments have been
paid amounting to $41,000, of
which there have been expended
$37,000.
It is the determination of the Com
pany to commence the Road at
the Halifax end of it, so soon as
the Subscriptions, North of the
Contentnea, amount to a sum
which will carry the Road to some
point from which a profit could
be expected.
