We feel uniUe to conceal by our silence thai a sudden and a very rapid decay, similar to that Which occurred hi previous years, has taken place ill the potato s of the late planting. The early norU have escaped. We have before us the most unquestionable proof that a serious change has ta ken place in the rot, but, whilst the prices continue low, we cannot reconcile the reported extent of the mischief with the still prevailing low prices and undoubted abundance.;. The alarm has been soun ded in all the Irish journals, and, as far as our own experience extends, the potatoes seemed more and more tainted every day. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. By faftho most important political news by this arrival is the possible, and even probable, rupture iff Russia and Austria with Turkey. :: It forms the chief topic of discussion in the English and French journals, as well as amongst all classes ; and in its paramount importance, the Roman 'difficulty, as Well as all other matters of national importance, appear to have been almost wholly lost sight of. Tin most recent accounts from Constantinople Ht.it that the Emperor of Russia has made a formal demand through a special envoy to the Porte, for the surrender of Kossuth, Bern, and other patriots, who played a prominent part in the late Hungarian struggle, who have sought refuge at Widda on the Danube, 'In the territories of the Sultan. The Tur kish Government, with a manliness that cannot be trio highly commended, refused to be bullied into a compromise of its independence, and Prince Radzi vl after having ineffectually endeavored to bully the Sultan into a compliance with his demands, ha taken an abrupt departure from Constantino ple, and Count Trioff, the Russian Minister, has closed all diplomatic relations with the Porte. England and France, through their respective representatives, have prevailed with the Sultan in keeping him firm to his first resolution. Already, in England and France, cabinet councils have been held to consider these grave circumstances. Not the slightest doubt can be entertained of the result. Should Russia persist in demanding the surrender of these devoted men, a European war is thought to be inevitable. Prince Radzival having returned to St. Peters burg to tell his tale of disappointment to the Czar, Fuad Ellendi, the present commissioner in the Dan ubiau provinces, has been sent by the Sultan to the Czar to anticipate Prince Radzival's statement, nd the attention of all Europe is anxiously directed to the North to learn the issue of ihe affair. The Sultan has countermanded his voyage to Smyrna tnd the Archipelago. The army ef Ronelia is ordered to hold itself in readiness, and the local troops are being embodied. There is ho reason to doubt buf that the best ae tord prevails betwetn the English and French Cab inets, and, it is ssid, tbat a powerful French and English squadron will be ordered into the Mediter ranean forthwith, to be ready for any emergency pending the issue of thi absorbing question.' . Austria n politics are Of subordinate i ntcresr. It is positively asserted, with every probability or the truth of the report, that the fortress of Comoro has surrendered, and thereby an effusion of blood has been avoided. ' l was reported at Vienna, on the 30th ult, that Gorgey the ex-Dictator of Hungary had been shot by Count Edmund Zuky, whose brother wa exe cuted by Gorgey's decree at Crepel. ROUE AND THF POPE. The Manifesto of the Pop has appeared in an efLdal form, and has been received with feelings of deep disappointuiPM rf not reiontment, in all quarters. TU feeling wus esj-cia!ly participated in bj the French soldiers;, several of whom were put under arrest for having torn down or otherwise defaced titf eopifi "f manifesto affixed to the : walls. .... The amnesty hi particular, was made the object cl popular odium. The attitude of the French Mil jury authorities is quite expectant, it awaits or oVrs from Paris, but disapproves da facto, the ' measures ordered by the Papal Government, and whilst the Cardinal?, dare not walk the street of Rome, for fear of encountering the popular fury, the .victims marked: out by their, inquisitorial de crees walkabout freely, r) . .

December next. The Minister did not anticipate the peripd when the troops might be withdrawn, but he assured the Assembly, that the results al ready obtained, justified the hope, that an occupa tion so glorious for the Fimch army would be speedily terminated. The suspension of intercourse between France and America,' caused much sensation in Paris when first announced, but a rumor having gained general belief, that England had offered meditation, that feeli tig considerably subsided. As soon is the dispute is terminated, M. Marrast or M. Theirs it is expected, will be sent to Washington in the p'ace of M. Poussin. General I.air,oriciere's mission to Russia has proved a complete failure, and he hag left St. Pe tersburg, on his return to Paris, without being per mitted to present his credentials to the Czar as the Ambassador ef the French Repnblic. General L., therefore, returns to France without having an op portunity of speaking one word to the Emperor on political nutters, and the only memorial he will bring back of his mission, is the recollection of sundry reviews, and the splendid suit of Circassian armor presented to him by Nicholas immediately after his arrival at the Imperial head-quarters. Considering that the President of the Republic went so far in his endeavors to procure a favorable reception for General Lamoriciere, as to banish the unfortunate Hungarian Refugees, the result to him is mortifying indeed. ENGLAND. A communication from the Lords of the Admiral ty, und'-r date Oct. 4, states that hopes are enter tained that the news brought by Capt. Parker, of the True Love, arrived at Hull from Davis Straits, of Sir John Franklin's ship having been seen by the natives, as late as March hist, beset by the ice in Prince Regent's inlet is not without foundation. From the same source reports have been received that Sir John Ross's ships are in the south of Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the vessels of both expedi tions are safe. This hope is somewhat strength ened by the telegraphic message to the Admiralty since received of the Mayor of . Hull, where the True I-ove arrived last month. Cholera is rapidly disappearing from all parts of England, as well as all parts of Europe, where it lias raged so long and fearfully. The total deaths in Englai.d from cholera since 17th June list, arc sta ted at upwards of 1 3,000. IRELAND. '.; The Irish journals are filled with accounts of most sanguinary conflicts between the tenantry and the landlords for the possession of the corn and the long cherished hatred between the occupier of the soil and the owner, has now broken out with a de gree of violence which threatens very serious re sults. Already numerous lives have been lost. In the Kilrush Union sentence ol eviction has been p issed against 1800 souls from land and their hold ings. In such an unpromising state of things it is not to be wondered that emigration is proceeding with a fresh impulse. It is believed that the wit ter emigration from the South will be greater than the last. '"' The most discouraging circumstance that is to be found in the news from Ireland, is the fact that political agitation appears to have almost entirely ceased. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Sales of Cotton for the week, 39,000 bales of which about 5,000 were taken by speculators, and 1,500 by exporters. THE VERYV LATEST FROM EUROPE. The New York papers of the 22d contain one day later news by express and Telegraph from London to Liverpool, dated London, 6th inst. p. m. The Paris Moniteur of the 5th Bays that the French Government entirely disavows the conduct of M. Poussin, in reference to the recent contro versy with the American Government. The same paper also announces the appoint ment of M. Bois LacoBipt, now French Minister at Turin, as Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, and that Lucien Marast is to succeed him at Turin. . ; Intelligence from Constantinople confirms the report that a joint note of the French and English governments has been sent to Saint Petersburgh, which it it expected will have the effect of pre venting a rupture between Russia and Turkey. The Vienna Journals state that five hundred Hungarian refugees or patriots are on a vast plain at Widden, surrounded by the Turkish troops, and that Kossuth, Bern, and other Hungarian chiefs are lodged in the high fortress. Commercial affairs remained in the tamo state. Prices unchanged. ; New York-, Oct 19". Confirmatory Intelligence of the Ditemtry of Sir John Franklin, fc.

The Washington Union, some time ago, avowed, with more candor than is usual with it, that there existed a monarchical party in this country. The editor, if he had thought proper, might have pro duced high authority fortius declaration no less in deed than that of Thomas Jefferson, who not con tent with making the charge, describes in the clear est and most explicitmanner, the very class of per sons whom he considers entitled to the distinction which such a ti;le confers. The Lynchburg Pa triot haa supplied the omissions of the Foreign Or gs n, by copious citations from the letters of Mr. Jefferson, and to that paper we are indebted for the annexed extracts. Writing to Mr. Giles in 1795, he classifies the parties as"Monocratsand Repub licans ;" and in vol. 4th of his letters, page 450, he speakj as follows: "Here then wa s the real grott nd of the opposition made to the course of the Administration. Its ob ject Was TO PRESERVS IBS LEGISLATURE FURE AKD independent of the Execctive ; to restrain the administration into Republican firms snd prin eiplee, and not permit the Constitution to be con strued isto a MoruRCHT, and to be warped in practice into all the principles and pollutions of their favorite English models." Many years before the date of this letter, as ear ly, indeed, as October 1792, when the sjtem had not been in operation three years, speaking of Gen. Hamilton's policy, he says : "If the equilihri urn of the three great bodies, leg islative, Executive, and Judiciary would be pre servedif the Legislature could be eeft wrs pendf.nt, I should never fear the result of suc'i a Government ; but 1 could not but be uneasy when I saw that the Exectttive had swallowed up the Legislative branch." In a letter to John Adams.dated Jiine27th, 1813, he uses the following language : , "We broke into two parlies, each wishing to give the Government a different direction-, the one to strengthen the most roruLAR branch, the oth er, the more termanest branches, and to extend their permanency." In a letter to Gen. Lafayette, in 1893, he said : ' " The tories (that is, the Monoerats) are for strengthen the Execctive and General Gov ernment J THE W'HlGS CHERISH THE REPRESENTA TIVE branch and rights reserved by the States as the bulwark against cgnsolidation, which must GENERATE MONARCHY." Now we might safely leave it to any intelligent reader to any mun who is acquainted with the principles upon which the two parties have invari ably acted, to say which of them comes under M r. Jefferson' definition of Monoerats or Momve ii't. In order, however, that there may be left no room for the slightest doubt, we snbmit the following ex tracts from the Richmond Enquirer, the organ of ths Democracy in this, Mr. Jefferson's native State. '. "It has always been the desire of the Democrat ic party, to place, as far as possible, the appointing power in the hands of the Executive." The principles of the party are here clearly de fined, and they correspond not only with all wt have heard from the Democracy on that subject for twenty years, but with Mr. Jefferson's idea of a Monocrat or Monarchist The aame paper gave us, in a single paragraph, the character of the Whig party. "The partizsns of the Whig party," it says, "in the) House of Delegates, have exhibited a sort of instinctive abhorrence of an hottest and powerful, for good, Executive." This is certainly true : 4nd this abhorrence of a strong Executive either iof State or General Gov ernment, gives them thewndoubted right to be clas sed among the disciples of Jefferson, who says that the object of his party was to keep the Legislature independent, and who expressed the greatest a lann for the cause of Republicanism, when he saw that "the Executive had swallowed up the l-?gis lative Branch." So exactly in conformity with the Jeffersoniau idea of monocracy (or monarchy) was the conduct of the government during the reign of Jacksouism, that Mr, Clay declared that the country had been governed for eight years without the aid of Con gress. It certainly has not ix-on less so since that day. . If then astheUnion says,thereis a maaarclucal party in this country, it is that to which his paper is attached, if Mr. Jefferson is to be trusted. RickWhig.' THE DEMOCRACY OF THE SOUTH. Our neighbor of the Republican is mistaken in saying that we read lectures to the Democracy of the South. We only tell plain truth about them truth so notoriously true that they have no way to repel it, and have nothing in the way of reply but to retort the same charges on the Whigs as if would clear thtm. Mr. Polk commits the very act which they suspect that Gen. Taylor will commit, and not one word of rebuke escape the tips of the Democracy. The deed itself i all right when committed by Mr. Polk ; tho bare poesibility that Gen. Taylor will commit it should depriv him of the support and confidence of the Southern people. But, sagely remark our neighbor, the Territory of Oregon i "three hundred and thirty geographical miles north of the Missouri and Texa compromise line." Will he kindly inform us where he got tlie authority to construe the Constitution by "geo graphical miles J" We had been oftder the im pression that what wa unconstitutional North could not be constitutional SouM,ad it so happens that the Mississippi Resolutions, on which our com ments were madV,take the ground that the Wilmot Proviso is unconstitutional that Congress hi not the power to exclude slavery from the Territorie. But why did not this "three kandred and thirty geo graphical mile North" argument strike the South ern member of Corgres when the Oregon B was under consideration 1 Why did they all, with tlx exception of Benton and Houston-, both Demo- crats, make battle against the Bill on account of this very proviso, in every mode known to parlia mentary warfare, and never perceive that it wa II right until Mr. Polk uid so f Nay more, how wa it that the Democracy sustained Mr, Cast's doctrine (hat Congresa had no power onf lrry In the Territories, and at the tame trine supported Polklrtlhe assertion that Congresa doe possess the powef to exclude i la very from the Territories t I But wlij purau lb Democracy through the maze of Uieir coutradictinns f They cannot get them selves out of one dilemma without impaling them selves on the horns of another. As to what Gen. Taylor will do, when the time for action arrives, we have no right to say, but perhaps our neighbor may derive some information from the following pa ragraph in the last Evening Post - Since il co alition in New York, our neighbor and the Post are friends and allies, and of course have confidence in each other's declarations and opinions : Pet. f: . ' "It is to such fellowship, the Whig journal, throughout tlx State are coming day by day, under tlie silent but corrupting influence of a pro-slavery administration. We hear not a word about Con gress meddling with tbo subject of slavery ; the Whig conventions every where content themselves with denouncing tl e institution, but all teem to a gree with the Tribune, that it is not wise toembar ri85 the government by passing a prohibitory or de claratory act." RALEIGH TIMES. ; Halctgr), N. . FRID1Y, OCTOBER 26, 1849. OUR THIRD VOLUME. A few more Nos. of the Times will bring us to ths commencement of our Third Volume. In en tering upon it, we shall endeavor to givo new spirit to the Editorial Department, and, as far as we can, a more zealous support to those conserva tive Whig principles which we believe to be all powerful fur the maintenance of our rights", the preservation of our liberties; the security of the peace and tranquility of the country ; and the per petuation of our beloved Union. For that measure of public patronage we have received, our most grateful thanks are tendeted t o our subscribers and the public. We shall endea vor to meet their expectations, more fully, in the future ; and we trust they will still extend to u their kind favor and patronage. It tikes years of hard and patient toil to build up a- Newspaper in: our Southern country. We are willing still " to labor and to wait." We afk the candid, liberal judgment of the public satisfied, that if we have merit and ability, our success will be commensu. rate with thorn. Upon nne subject, however, we wish, on the pre tent occasioned address a few worda to our reader. It cannot be disguised that attempts have been made to injure our Press, in the estimation of the people of North Carolina, because we ee nothing in the present aspect of the Slavery question, ta justify either a rcBort to violence or disunion, or to threaten them as remedies. The truth is, we are unwilling to " calculate the value of tlie Union"and are resolved to maintain It at all hazards and to tlie hist extremi tybut we are not the less determitied to insist upon our rights by all lawful and constitutional means, so long as tliose means shall promise to be effectual in maintaining them. The present agita-. tion upon this subject grows out of the situation of tho newly acquired Territories of California and New Mexico our fiercest-opponent denying the power of Congress over Slavery there. And yet they are willing, (if we understand them,) and so arc we, that the Missouri Compromise line shall be extended to the Pacific Ocean. We, believing that act to be constitutional, advocate it consistent ly, while they, denying its constitutionality, are nevertheless willing to Bee its provisions further extended, by way of settlement of this vexed question. We violate no principle, in our csurse but they surrender the Constitution of their countrv, as they understand it. The Missouri I Compromise, however, has been passed by Con 's .. i i . -1 i gress tne power na oeeu Mcrcwwr u u mij;t be gain. Tlie tiext question which arise vre conceive to be this t Can we gel tbe Missouri Compromise 1 Well, if tlie North is unwilling, (a appears to be the case,) tee caino ,' All parties at the North seem to agree in opposition to the further exten sion of Slavery. The adoption of the Missouri Compromise would allow its extension. Conse quently, a it can only bo passed by Congress, where the North has the majority, the hope of ob taining it, by us, is an illusion never to be real ized. But, even if it could pas the House of Re presentatives, have we any guaranty that it would be adopted by the people of New Mexico and Cali fornia? and would they allow Slavery to exist South of that line, where it ha not even yet been introduced 1 We doubt it greatly. All the action they have heretofore had in the premiee ie adverse to the existence of Slavery at all and deeply ai we teem interested in their affair upon that sub ject, w ee no likelihood in ttik world of their re ciprocating the interest, or" of exhibiting a lufEci ently tender feeling for onr situation, to induce them to consent to a compromise on our account Would it be wise, therefore, for the South to in aist upon this as an ultimatum, and threaten re- $ittante, secession, itsumon, or any violent action, by way of remedy T Wa are bound to look this thing in the face and let us reason calmly and dispassionately, and in a practical way, so that we may he Understood, and leave no excuse for those who seek to misrepresent a. We are opposed to auch action, uncalled for ki the premise un wise, premature, unavailing, inefficient untenable it can be productive ef m good it ma produce incalculable evil. But suppose not content with refusing the Mis souri compromise the North insist upon a proAi hititm of Slavery in the new Territorie insult and in'nrv snpbradJed nd will pass it I What then! This is the subject we have been discussing for aome time past, and our readers know fully our opinion upon it. W shall not repeat them now. They also know onr Opinions upon a subject neiirar home, f xttal importance to the South measure which may be considered a striking a j of Ohio have a majority on joint ballot in Ilia lsy V ily blow at Southera S!aery, the paramounl I bjinrp, ' importance of which it palpable injustice its iianifest violation of a solenln compact its out rage upon the letti r and Spirit of the constitution its cruel oppression cannot be overrated by Our people.

This is the grave fea ture la the Slavery agitation, towards which the mind of onr people should lie serinusiy inclined, and theif most earnest attention direct"!. We have taken our sf and upon it but the emergency must dictate the' remedy ii is not for us to inti mate it, The deep, solemn, heavy trial of Ihe hour when that emergency must be met, will de mand the concentration of the wisest minds, the coole t heads, the most d termined wills, the brav est spirits, that the South can selict from her garnered treasury of great men and their uniied counsels, after due deliberation upon the realities of our situation, and the tremendous responsibili ties resting upon us, must point the course for prompt and effective action. When rtatcrwir comes, we shall be ready to meet it. ii is noi our nature lo threaten before hand ; neither will we flinch from tiie detem ined action of that hour. We dare now. drawing tin veil from the future, with a fal:n and steady eye, to look probabilities and possibilities fully and stea dily in the face and, having taken onr eland, our h.'urt is nerved to abide tbe fate of Southern men and Southern Institutions, be dial fate what itinav, in God's inscrutable Providence. On this subject we are sure ue art rigll; u fearlessly and un dauntedly shall we go ahead. We say, then, that the ground wn occupy upon ihese subjects, is the only safe and tenable ground for the South it is ground that we am maintain. We stand upon it 'm common with the Whig par ty of North Carolina, to which we belong in com men with the prominent, Able and independent Whig presses of North Carolina, and it is our pride to be associated with them. H'e fix out limit, firmly, deliberately, constitutionally , and we say to the fanatic of the North and of Ihe South "Hitherto shall yo go, and no farther;" and here shall your aggressions cease ! We can all unite upon this ground, and secure both peace and safety. RALEIGH PAPER MILL. We invito the attention of Printers and Publish ers to the Advertisement of Mr. James D. Roys ter, in another column, who has lately repaired and fitted up the Raleigh Paper Mill, and com menced making and furnishing a good article of Priming Paper. Mr. Roystcr is one of our most enterprising and industrious citizens, whose pro mises the public may rely upon ; and we earnest ly trust he may meet with that encouragement and success which he richly deserves. It is desirable with us to have our Paper at hand, so that our supply may be obtained in convenient quantities to euit every emergency : all Publishers who me a great deal of it know the trouble and vexation of having to depend upon a distant place for sup plies of paper, when their calculations are liable to be overset and disappointed by any continually occurring accident to boat or car or wagon. We feel autliortzed to say that the character and busi ness habits of Mr, Royster afford a guaranty that every Order given him will be promptly attended to, and filled in reasonable time. The Publishers of tlie State who wish to en courage Home industry and skill, are invited to examine tho quality of the Paper on which The Times is printed this week, although all the im provement contemplated by Mr, Royster are not yet completed. We think it will be found to have good body, well sized, and to take the impres sion easily and plainly. We would like to bj speak their patronage for him, and invite tbem to give bis paper a fair trial. SONS OF TEMPERANCE. The Grand Division of North Carolina closed it Session on Friday night last, having transact ed all the important business which came before it. We learn that there were eonie 60 Rejr 'sen tatives in attendance but hardly half of the Sub ordinate Divisions in the State were represented. The number of Divisions is nov 82 ; the Returns of 67 only of these being in; but they represent the number of members at about 2500 : and it is estimated that tlie remaining 15 would swell the total to about 3200 being an Increase of 2700 members fh one year. The following is the list of Officers of the Grand Division for the ensuing year, viz : ' Jame II. Enniss, of Salisbury, G. W. P, George D. Boggan, of Wadcsboro', G. W. A. A. M.

' The Semi-annual Session fit the Grand Divis ion will be held at Newbem, in April next. Tbe progress of this Order, to rapid and so wide-spread must be gratifying to every friend f Temperance, Morality and Refigion. May God speed it, to a much' more abundant success, nntil every village and neighborhood of the State aha!! have a Division in their midst AUBURN RAILROAD MEETING. A large and respectable meeting of the friends of the Central Railroad was held at Auburn, in this County, on the 16th inst, and addresses were! delivered by Messrs. Perrin Buibee and S. H. Ro gers, of thi City, and Linn B. Sanders of John ton. We learn that the speeches were of an t ble and interesting character, and ench asawtke a spirit of inquiry and solicitude among the people there assembled ; and although the Books of Sub scription were not opened, yet a promise wat giv en that tbit District of our County would do its duty in contributing to the tuccct of that great enterprise which it ia confidently believed will do so much for Wake, a well a for the whole State. We trust these meeting will be held iu every District. . The people will listen a ad art anxious for light and knowledge upon this labject that they may tee their truo iniefetU, and be prepared to act accordingly. . ; C(!tCIKXATI,Oct 19, It it now fully ascertain"d that the Lcofueos of NATIONAL CURRENCY.
