Do not s, few eoustie iu-the East pay aa much tax into the pul'lc Treasury ns ihe whole ef his Congressional District? How, then , can any such de n.aud be made, on th score of justice?

We come now to consider that charge which the Hon. Thomas L. Cliugman has clothed in all the pa raphernalia of'the mod approved precedents of de nunciation. 'Central Influencel" Ah! ''there's the rub!" The "Centre" calls forth all the fire of his most patriotic iudignation! It haunts him like the ghost of the murdered Banquo did the Moody-handed Macbeth. It will not "down at his bidding." Even eight years ago,in 1840, it: was a most ter rific thing .worse than a very night-mere upon the rising genius of the Mountains more terrific than an animal with claws behind and before, and all around a real kyilra! Even then in 1840 this modem Hercules proposed to organise a systematic resistance te put down and exterminate thia Hydra thia Xenie an Lion -'going about seeking whom he might de vour." But the Hercules was too young, then. He was iiot out of his political cradle, quite aud it was tafk. enuiigh for him to strangle the serpent of discord and dieafTttCtinn which hud em Vouched upon his ju venile rights, in a certain "voluntary Caucus," in which be showed his strength by sustaining "youug" JUTr. Graham and " old " Mr. Mangum for the Senate, aud "offering a resolution" with his own hand, re commending to Generul Harrison a a suitable person for a station in hia Cabinet, a certain "Mr. Badger," who is now not of sufficiently "eniiueiit, abilities" to fill a place which Ae aspires to, aud which Ae, and exactly elf em other; (Heaven save the mark!) would more honor and adorn I ' But so it is tliis modorn Hercules has grown up to full maul Kid, and he can easily, if "requested" by Mount Atlas, bear up the Heavens on his shoulders ' : ' . j , But to the pamphlet, . The crime charged is, that, for tweuty years past, the Senators havo been select ed from the Centre ef tbe State from tho Counties of Wake, Orange, Cumberland and Caswell. Well, we really had thought, before, that these glorious old Counties were a part of our good old Xorth State. We have bceu taught to honor them, especially the latter it bears a most honored uanie yes, the name of one who never would have deserted his cause, or turned hi back upon friends for an imaginary slight. The people of those Counties are our fellow eitiicns, one aud all, and wo are proud that they have been abh to furnish so mauy honored names to grace the history of our State. Would to God, they had a thousand more such! Yancey, Murphy, Moore: Cameron, Norwood, Toomerj Strange, Mangum, Gra ham,' Badger are they not of North Carolina's brightest jewels? Does any man rcgrst that they have been honored by our people? Is there on in the State whose soul is se narrow that he would erase from the page of our history the name of such men? Would he desire to lcep such hi obscnritydeprive the State of their services and elevate some mental pigmy to gratify the niggardly feelings and demands of sectiana prejudices? When a system shall prevail ef inquiring in what part ef the State on Wua born, where reared, where h livei, and where he may hereafter happen te (tee, before due respect and honor can be paid to his genius, talents, and patriotism, then, indeed, shall We be fit to become "White Slaves,nand we shall require more than all the Boizarisscs and Aristogiton that havo lived In "th tide of time" to infueo into our souls a high and patriotic: spirit' of in dependenceand State pride.'K ' Si But it has pleased Mr.C. to bestow oh the Whig In and around Raleigh full shav of his petty spleen and malice. .

WILMINGTON RAlLToAlT BILL .-' This bill was und:r consideration in the House 'of Commons, the greater part of Wednesday. At the night session, Mr. Rayner moved to strike out of the 1 1th section of the bill, tho following words, immediately preceding the prorise of said section: viz. "Which it i hereby declared and enacted, ahall be preferred to the mortgage and pledge to be executed under th previous provis ions of this act, and all such oilier mortgages and pledges ns may have been heretofore executed by said Company to secure the State against its lbs by reason of her endorsement for said Company ; and in case of default by laid Company, the said mortgage se to be executed, shall be first satisfied,' the question on which passed ill the affirmative, Yeas 53, Nay 42. Immediately after this yoto, Hr, J. M. Leach moved its reconsideration : which gave rise to a discussion ofjtrLanimatcd and exciting- character, between Messrs. Rayner, D. F. Caldwell, Barrin ger, Stanly,, Stevenson, Hayes, and others, in which tho merits of the bill and amendment enter ed largely. All the other 6cicmcg ef Internal Improvement being pending at this time in the Senate upon their third -reading, we have no doubt delay upon thi bill in the House i the consequence. , But Mr. Rayner'g amendment It is said, will prevent the laying the Wilmington road with heavy iron farther North than Neuse river ; and ano'her amendment, expected to prevail, will forbid the construction of the Manchester road altogether. We express no opinion of our own, upon this subject, because we regard it extremely uncertain in what shape the bill will pas, or whether it may pass at all. We think all must stand or fall to gether a state of suspense which muet soon end now, as tlio seoaion will end en JfonJay. - j "COL.

Resohcd, That tlie proceedings of the Con vention, by which the Federal Constitution was framed, clearly demonstrate that the institution of slavery was maturely considered ; and that the U nion of the States was finally secured by incorpor ating into that instrument distinct and ample guar antees of the right ef the Slaveholder. ; 3. ResolieJ, Tliat we view with deep concern and alarm the constant aggressions on tlie rights of the Slaveholder by certain reckloss politicians of the North ; and thxt tlie recent proceedings of Congress on the subject of slavery are fraught with mischief well calculated to disturb tlie peace of our country, and should call forth the earnest and prompt disapprobation of every friend of the I Union. 4. Resohcd, That the enactment of any Law by Congress, which shall " abolish slavcry or the lave trade in the District of Columbia, er alutll ' directly or indirectly deprive the citizens of any of the States, of tlie riglyf of eVigrating with their slave property into any of thtrterrrtories of the United State, and of exercising ownership over the same while in aaid territories, will be an ar- not only of gross Injustice and wrong, but the ex ercise of power contrary to the true meaning and spirit of the Constitution, and never contemplated by the framers thereof. - v 5. Resolved, That while we do not intend here by to be understood as conceding that Congress has the power under the Constitution to enact a law prohibiting davery in any portion of the terri toriet of the United State ; yet, for the sake of preserving the peace and promoting the perpetuity of the Union, we are willing that the basis of the Missouri Compromise should bo adopted in refer ence to the recently acquired' territories of New Mexico and California, by extonding the line then agreed upon to the Pacific Ocean. Cth. Rttelvti, That we believe tht people of North Carolina, of all parties,- art devotedly at tached to the Union of the United States, tint they regard it as a main pillar in the edifice of real in dependence, tbe support of tranquility at home, of peace abroad, of safety, of property, and of tliat very liberty they to highly prize ; that they cherish a cordial, habitual, and nnmovable attachment te it, and that they watch for its preservation, with jealous anxiety ; that they believe it is tlie duty of their public servants to discountenance whatever may uggest tven a suspicion that It tan in any event be abandoned and to "repel indignantly eve ry attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the net, er to enfeeble tht (acred tie which now link together tht various paVtaJ ' ' 7 Retolvid, That a copy of the foregoing reso lutions be signed by the Speakers of tha Senate and House of Commons, and forwarded to our Senator and Representatives in Congress, with 4 request that they be laid before their respective Housea. .. j.

F. B. SATTERTH'.VAITI', E.-Q. Amonp; the members of tho lltnnc 'of Common who nr- dislingniheil fur their industry, talent', and high regard fur the itereM of tlie Old Ni.ith, may be ranked the gentleman whose name slant! at the head of liii article. A? a member of Ihe Judiciary Committee tho le.riiV committee of the House, his Inborn fctve been untiring, and have contributed Urgely to the most wefti! and keiieli- i il results. In the patriotic efforts made in that body to redeem the St:ite from her hntni'iating in feriority to her sister Stal, ly an t-ntargrd and iberal Stale policy, he has always been found in ny to uthers what it could not itself enjoy. These great measures have uniformly received from him a hearty and emphatic Ays! , lie hits the appro val, we doubt not, of his own lure hear! ; and fortunately,, he represents an enlightened constitu-' ency, from whom, when he renders his aci-emit. he may expect to receive an approving " Well done." While others have with timidity or, i.,l is worse, contemptible deinugojueisin shrunk from doing what they knew to he right, even d '' rectly for the benefit ef their own immediate cof. stituents, and have left a work which they w.'.4 to 1 done, to their braver, and purer, and mors jn triotic neighbor! We can point with pride to ma ny, and to this gentleman among them, who with self-sacrificing herois.-n, have rushed to the rescue, and dune what man could do, to save, and cherub, and elevate the good old North tlie motlicr of us all. Tho constituents of Mr. S. may latterly have looked in vain for his name among the Yeas and Nays on saveral vjty important questions. They may be assured he did not dodge. He y;m there, but wat. presiding over the House of .which .lie is so distinguished and useful a nitniiler, in conse quence of the protracted illness of Mr. Gii.i.UM, their Speaker. In this position he could not vote but his influence was felt, and his heart was in the right place. We bespeak for 31r, S. from hi, constituents, a hearty approval of his course. He . 1ms won golden opinions, and made many friends during the Session. He ha n constituency to be proud of ; and we may bo pardoned fur saying, that they can well afford to be proud of lum. IT In our account of the passage of the Slave ry Resolution in tho Senate, we stated , tiut Mesr. Thompson, of Bertie, and VV'illey were ab sent. The statement was merely made to fill up tho whole vote of the Senate, with no idea of im puting to these gentlemen reluctance to vote on tlie question. Mr. Thompson, we believe, had left tlie City and Mr. Willey was confined to his room by indisposition. Had he been present, he wouM have voted for. the resolutions. . . .
