SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1842
in
(PThe General Assembly of this State
convened at Raleigh on Monday last- It
will be seen by the proceedings, that Gen.
kVtlson, Senator trom this county, was
ejected Speaker of the Senate a station
for which he is eminently qualified, having
been for a long period an able, efficient,
and influential member of that body. A
friend has politely favored us with the fol
lowing comments on the course the Assem
bly seems determined to pursue.
The Legislature of this State, com
tnenced its session by electing for their of
fleers men of their own principle, and in
whom they have confidence. This course
calls down upon the dominant party the ire
of the Rezister." We would advise our
worthy Editor, to keep coal. If the wil
of the people who sent them to Raleigh be
obeyed, we can inform him that the work
has but just commenced, and ere long we
hope to hear that not one will be saved
"chanze. "chanze. cried the reds

Some of them have fattened long enough
from the public crib, and it is time they
should make room for their equals in al
necessary points, though we hope not
rapacity. 1 he feds have had their own
way so long at Raleigh, that a change
works erievouslv bad among them. It
a bitter pill, but the doctors say they must
take it. So keep your temper, Mr. Re
gister, and console yourself, that, perhaps
you may have better luck next time.
In the matter between the Representa
tives of the people of North Carolina and
the " Register," we will respond to the ur
gent rail of the latter, "to speak out fear
lessly" and for fear our "silence may be
wore than cowardice" and that we may
not be charged with ''moral treason of the
deepest dye," we will speak out. Go on,
good and faithful servants persevere, and
root out every vestige of a corrupt and
profligate party. Strew their principles if
they have any, to the four winds of heaven,
and their wire-workers strike with dismay.
Go on, the people are with you it was
for that purpose you were sent to Raleigh.
Cry aloud, and spare not. These are no
times for lukewarmness and inaction.
You have a sacred duty to perform you
owe it to yourslves and the people who
delegated you, to puisue with firmness and
energy the good work.

bove title. It will be printed in monthly
numbers, on forty octavo pages of good pa

cover, lor

It is designed to be a publication of gen

larly reminiscences by the present aged
public men; and scientific articles. This
magazine will cherish the purely literary,

a larger ratio than are the receipts.
On motion of Dr. Samuel A. Andrews,
a committee of three was appointed, con
sisting of Dr. Andrews, Alexander Mc
Rae, and Samuel Potter, to report upon
the expediency and practicability of an in
land connection between this Road and the
Charleston and Hamburg Rail Road. This
committee subsequently reported, and of
fered the following resolutions, which were
adopted.
Resolved, 1 hat the President be instruc
ted to obtain such information as he may
deem important, respecting the view of
the citizens of South Carolina, who may
be desirous of a connexion by means of a
Rail Road between the Southern terminus
of the Road and the City of Charleston.
Resolved, That the President en use the
