From the Raleigh Standard
GOV. GRAHAMthe RAIL ROAD.
Mr. Editor: l am pleased to see that
the people are beginning to take a lively
interest in the approaching gubernatorial
election. Partaking in some degree in
this feeling, in common with my , fellow
citizens, I propose to address; a few
thoughts on this subject to the public, con
sideration; having no other object in viey
than the welfare and prosperity, of our be
loved State. Would it be, then, the inter
est of North Carolina to re-elect Gov.
Graham? j Has he acted the part of the
good and faithful, or of the wicked and
slothful servant? These are important in
quiries. In looking for the increase of his
talents, I find none. But it is alleged by
his friends that he has done nothing for
which he ought to be turned out the palace.
I suppose then, as this is all that has been
said for him, and as he is known to be a
man of negative character, that no positive
good is to be expected from his adminis
tration. That he can make a poljte bow,
and walk as direct from the capitol to the
palace, neither turning to the right hand or
to the left as any other man, I am ready to
admit; md if our whig friends prefer the
expression, he tries to I'lbok like a Gover
nor." But in this he does not "follow in
the foot-steps of his illustrious predeces
sor," whose chief recommendation, as I
learned from the whig press, lay in his
shaking hands with all the wagoners who
visited Raleigh. Tothis it may be truly
replied that a man's public, and not his
private, conduct constitutes his qualir
fication for office. ; If Gov. Graham has
done the State any good, or has benefited
any portion of it, he ought to - have the
merit of it; on the contrary, if he has been
faithless to all sections, and profitable only
to a few favorites, he should receive the
heavy condemnation of the people.
I, then, charge that Gov. Graham has
involved the State in a heavy debt contrary
to the intention of the Legislature and re
gardless of the rights of his constituents,
when the only motive he could have had
was to release or favor the obligors to in
demnify the State upon the Raleigh and
Gaston Rail Road bonds against loss; and I
intend to prove, this, charge. ,
The bill to authorize the foreclosure . of
the mortgage of the Raleigh & Gaston Rail
Road, appointed the- Governor the . State
agent andlnvested him with a sound dis-
cretion, within stated limits, .to . purchase
this Road. In discharging this duty he
was a faithless servant, as thV history of
that bill will show. On the 26th of De
cember 1844, Mr. Cherry introduced the
first draft of this bill, bv the third, section
of , which the Governor was directed to bid
"a sum STTPFKIENT to cover, the sum of
300,000 and the interest dn the bonds ex
ecuted &. endorsed in pursuance of the act
of the General Assembly, passed in 1840-
'41." (House Bill, No. 50.) This section
was amended (House Bill, Npy 53.) so as
to direct the Governor to bid "a sum not
exceeding $300,000, and the interest un
paid by the company on the bonds; execu
ted" &c. This bill could not have passed
in its original shape; and jret . His : Excel
lency has acted under thelfirst orm of the
bill, which was oohdemned by the legis
lature. He was sent as the State's agent
with certain' discretionary powers, to pur
chase this property as any prudent man
Would do acting for himself. rTo this duty,
he was faithless, in. every sense and mean
ing of the word, as will be seen from the
following editorial from the "Raleigh Reg
ister." of Nov, 11, 1845: :: :,
" Our Rail Road. Governor Grahani
has returned frojm his examination; of the
Raleigh and Gastton Rail Road.- t He was
accomoaniea yio uraiuu wjr rM -
Treasurer, by George W: Mordecai, Esq.,
the temporary President, pi the Company,
John D, Hawkins, Esq.vof Franklin, - one
of the Directors, jimd Mri Hollister, Super
intendent of the koad. We are gratified
to learn, that the Governor found the Road,
excepting the secUoabetween Raleigh and
Forqstville, on which wprkmenj are now
operating, in, much better, condition than
hehad expected; and that, after a personal
survey of almost the entire track, and the
Depots,.; Aqueducts, and. noble ' Bridges
of the Company, and on the inspection : of
me rieports.oi its income lor tne past two
years, made, to the Court of Equity of
Wake, he determined without hesitation,
as jthe Agent and Jlepresentatiye of j . the
State, at the sale of the Comnanv's nroher-
w1 k rt .u oQfK hiUw
to bid the maximum amount prescribed
in the Act of the general Assembly at the
last Session, viz: $300,000, and the interest
accrued thereon since the ' Bonds for this
amount, endorsed by the State, were issu-
edi which will be in all about 58381,000.
f'Weare trulv. clad to find that such a
result nasi been obtained, after a careful ex
amination by the highest Officer of the
State, upon his official responsibility, With
a view to exercise the discretion: vested in
hip by the Legislature, so that ample jus
tice may 'be done to the public: but in the
mode least injurious to the Stockholders,
who have sustained so great a loss in this j
enterprize.
'"The course adopted by the Governor,
in forming and making known beforehand,
his determination upon this subject, seems
tO' us in the highest degree proper.
Wh ilst it is calculated to enhance' the price
of the Road, to the advantage both of the
State and the Stockholder, it giyes nojife
to; those who may desire to compeiC ,iri
tlie nurchase. so as to enable them' to make
arrangements for raising capital and. giv
ing security for the large sums inydl ved in
the purchase upon the terms required b
the Law arrangements whichjit is obvi
ous, from the limited means of individuals
among us, could not be marie without a
reasonable time for preparatiop.,, '
Whose aid did the -Governor seek ; in
placing a proper value on this Road? Pour
gentlemen named above, every one, of
whom were obligors in the bonds of in
demnity to save harmless the State against
lossy and their joint obligations together
with others, amounts to between .75 and
100 thousand dollars! Marvelous proper
men these, to consult in valuing the Road!
No censure is attachable to them for their
advice to his Excellency; they did noth
ing more than other persons equally inter
ested would do. The more the Governor
bid, the less they would have to refund to
the State: and of course it is not a. matter
of surprise that, with such: counsellor, he
determined to bid the maximum amount
at the first dash without an opposing bid-
IBut the Register says that he inspected
the reports of the - income of the Road
made to Wake Court of Equity. . What
could he find there to justify his determi
nation? I have paid some attention to
these reports also, and to tne turtner tact
mat ior two anu a nan years, oy a uccrcce
in Wake Equity Court, the State has been
entitled to the income of this Road; and,
unfortunately for His Excellency, in -all
of that time the Road has not paid the of age, who is a complete , galvanic batte
first red cent! The Governor, then, know-jrv,At first she was supposed by hei
ing the fact that the Road had not cleared j shop-work companions, under the influ
