Jribaa Hloming, December 7, 189, ' RAIL ROAD CONVENTION We give the Official proceedings of the North Carolina Rail Road Convention, winch mot in .jreensboro' last week, to the exclusion of much btber matter but we know of nothing which would ?o Interestingly ocenpy the same space. It is pro jer to remark, that, owing to the wish that the mblie should be furnishc I, at the earliest moment, With the result of the action had, the details are not so voluminous, perhaps not so minute, as the ! Secretaries would have wished ; but their time be nt; limited, and their labors pretty constant, the ppiloine I a very mir one, it not altogether inn. I The spirit of the members of the Convention was high and ' enthusiastic, beyond our powers of des cription. They were North Carolinians assem bled under a deep consciousness that something most be done to save the State to elevate her cha racter to promote her prosperity to enable her Enterprising citizens to succeed and flourish And spacious and elegant; and everywhere the eye is' greeted and the heart cheered- by indications of progress and improvement. Oh! there are bright sjKits in old North Carolina yet the finest people on the face ol the earth are within her borders and when we can all feel, from the mountains to tire seaboard, that we are one people one in kindred, one in interest common sharers in common lame and prosperity and proud of all then shall we see our good Old North Slate what she ought to be, and what our noblest citizens are. striving to make her. The struggle before us yet for a brief while. May every county along the line of the North Carolina Railroad catch a portion of the enthusiastic spirit which animates the people of Guilford ; and very soon not only this Great work, but a dozen like it, will op"n avenues to every pro ductive section of the State ; build up our own com mercial marts, and pour upon them a flood of com' merce and an ocean of wealth, which will be dif fused Until every neighborhood within our borders shall feel the genial and beneficial change. Agri culture, Maiiufactiires.aiid Commerce Can be and mut he supported and built up anrnig us. 'm it.ovkmknt will effect the object and redeem, the State. We go for it, party or no partyand ra ther Uian it shall fail, we ought to give up party until we have leisure, from this nobler aim, to at tend to and arrange, as we have heretofore too much attended to, National affairs. The Union will hardly be dissolved before we have the North Carolina Railroad built : when we get it finished, and the State is properly and closely united, we defy fanatics of every shade and color, here or else where, ever to dissolve it. N.;rlh Carolinians .vill iher. be one people, and will "frown indignantly" upon every attempt to distract or dividu us. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR, &c. By reference to the list of Delegates to the North Carolina Rail Road Convention, our readers can not fail to see numbered some of the State's bright- Jurying even the very name of party, they cordial- est jewels those who have always been stedfasl !y united to push ahead a great interest, above all and true to her amid the many changes time al- party, and of more weight and importance, because ways brings to every commonwealth. But it was U will confer upon the State more benefits than cheering to us to see our highest citizens laying We have ever reaped from all the struggles of par- aside parly, and uniting in a labor so eminently (t since the Union of the States was formed. I But we have no time to lecture now, upon any subject, and have only taken up the pen more par ticularly to call public attention to the result of the Greensboro' Convention for we look upon the 'action of that body as ensuring the building of the North Carolina Railroad. Our readers will see, that, under the agreement copied into the Proceed ings, and to which 51 shares have been subscrib ed, 49 are still necessary to perfect the plan, and make the obligation binding. That these will crane forward, hardly admits of a reasonable doubt. But take the worst view of the case, and suppose they do hot then there are gentlemen who will subscribe the whole amount necessary to the for mation of the Company raise the money, and go to work. By the Advertisement of the Executive Commit- i tee, (in another column,) it will be seen that Con ventions are to be held in the different Counties I to obtain the number of subscribers required. These will be held during this month and part of next. We learn that those in this section of the State will be attended by the Hon. R. M. Saun dert and Hon. Calvin Graves, among others; and those at the West by Gov. Morehead, John A. Gil mer and D. F. Caldwell, Esos. and others, and should the generous rivalry evinced by the mem bers spread among the people they represented, any number of subscribers can easily be obtained. This good-natured strife was carried farthest by the Delegations from Guilford and Rowan, each with an emulation gallant and praiseworthy and had the field of battle been Rowan, we are well f convinced the result would have been different, ' As it was, Old Guilford rather gained the day but the following 'Card,' which appeared the morn- ing after the adjournment of the Convention, abun- C dantly proves that Rowan is very, far from being conquered yet. The corp does not Btaie wneiiier Ham.. Jones, Esq. had left town or not before the Card was printed : " A CARD.

"Tlie following extract of a letter, received dur ing the Editor's absence last week, from a promi nent Whig who resides not far from the "Hornet's Nest," will be found interesting by our readers. He writes under date of 24th November, and says : "A short time since, I feared that the Whigs were getting themselves into trouble as to the Pro viso. But I am now fully satisfied that the ques tion as applied to the Territories will do u no harm whatever. The mass of the people care not a fig about it ; and as for Resistance, and all that sort of Bluff, not one man in a thousand eithr ap proves of such a course, himself, or believes those sincere who aro raising the cry. These self-con stituted champions of the South have, in different quarters, been trying to get up an excitement by public meetings, &.c. ; but they ate always met at the threshhold by asking them why they did not hold their meetings when James K. Polk signed the Oregon Bill containing this same abomination, and denounce him and his traitorous allies? Tho' insultingly and tauntingly claimed, at the time, as a precedent by the North, it was submitted to by the whole South, and by none more tamely than by these self same defenders of Southern Rights ! Why, then, they are asked, this war against Genl. Taylor and the Union, at the mere possibility of tho same thing bemgagain done ? They are warn ed, with fearful truth, to hold their courage, and tax their strength for resistance when Slavery is threatened in the District of Columbia, which is the reai danger. As yourself and all reasonable men foresaw, the difficulty as to New Mexico and California would be settled by the Territories them selves, and that the District is the point on which we should keep our eye. And you may rest as sured, that the zeal and ability with which the Whig Press of Raleigh have battled this latter question, will be duly appreciated as the hour of trial draws hearer and nearer. Were you disposed to follow the example of the Democratic Press, and make party capital out of this unfortunate subject, you might now well turn upon them (particularly the Standard,) and completely annihilate them for their sacrifice of the District in their pretended zeal for the Territories. Perceiving this would be the real, the only practical issue between the North and the South, you have from the first occupied in relation to it the very highest ground. Not so the Standard. It hat followed a phantom, and virtual ly surrendered the whole South in yielding the constitutional question as to the District of Colum bia. The Slavery question ; the personal opposi tion of some of our public men to Mr, Badger; an idle cry about Raleigh influence, and all that kind j of bagatelle ; seem, at present, to indicate division, dissension, and difficulty in the Whig ranks. But I feel assured there is no serious danger. As to the subject of Slavery, the country will soon see the Whigs of North Carolina equally, if not far more, sound, true, and patriotic, than their oppo nents. As to all other questions and subjects, ihey are idle lancies compared to the success of Whig principles and Whig measures. My word for it, in a battle array next Summer, Victory 'will again be our's. I see no difficulties in our way but what prudence, tact and energy can fully over- NEXT STATE CAMPAIGN. The Weldon Herald takes time by "the forelock," in his move for a State Convention. We differ with him iiw), from first to last, andthronghont. There is no need of taking up the matter at all now and we doubt whether this manner of thrusting forward the nameof Col. Joyner can meet with that gen tleman's approbation. We are in favor of giving the Democrats "ifie go,n this time, in the nomination but that is a matter of little consequence. The Herald's "sum-tier in modon may well be called in question, when its conclusions sfjjso hastily, not to say clumsily, jumped at. We do not wish to ani madvert, however and only express one man's o pinion. We are always ready for our part of eve ry contest thou K we know no reason why a cam paign should bo r?ade eight months long. FEMALE Clasical Institute, HILI-SBOROUGH STREET, RALEIGH, N. f. Assistants. 870 lt ALABAMA SENATORS. William R. King and Jeremiah Clemens have been elected to the United State's Senate by the Legislature of Alabama now in Session Mr King is a Calhoun Democrat, but Mr. Clemens a Tay lor Democrat. There's a e'eam of hope for Ala bama, yet, as Mr. Clemens beat Gov. Fitzpatrick, the regular nominee of "the parly," thirteen votes. We find in the Intelligencer of Tuesday, a letter from Mr. Foote, the Locol'oco Senator, from Mis sissippi, to Hon. T. L. Clingman, a Whig member of the House from North Carolina, interrogating h i in. as to the conrsethe North Carolina delegation intend to pursue in Congress, relative to the Wil uiot Proviso, in the coming session of Congress. Mississippi, Mr. F. says, has made up her mind, Whigs and Democrats alike, that there shall be no encroachment on Southern rights. Mr. Clingman in substance, re-affirms the position of Mississippi and her Senator. The union of both parties in Mis sissippi, Mr. Clingman tells us, is a type of what will occur elsewhere. I be Southern States he ur ges to have but one feeling on this question, as they can have but one destiny. He has no doubt " ihat over the entire South there would be a vast ly greater unanimity than existed in the old thirteen slave Slates when Ihey decided to resist British ag gression, and if individuals should attempt to take a different course they would be swept away in the general current. Long before the struggle should come to the worst the South would present un un broken trout. Mr, Clingman addsthat having submitted Sen ator Foote'sletler to his colleague, Mr. Mangnm, that gentleman concurs tully in all its general conclusions, and avows hispurpose to make known Ins views at length at an early day. Mr. Mangnm, moreover entertains the opinion " that the Fede ral uoverninent has no power to legislate on the subject of slavery either in the Slates or the Terri tories, and tnat all precedents, whether legislative or judicial, because adopted without due ronsidera tion, are not obligatory, J..

The public spirit exhibited by the citizens of the County end Town, during the Session of the Rail ' Road Convention there last week, is deserving of ' all prase, atd such as could hardly be exceeded any where.

They blow over, and a calm succeeds long enough to allow men to recov er from the effects of the temporary blast. Popu lar feeling is liard to lead astray in North Carol i ha, however vociferous the hubbub raised by those who attempt it and accordingly we see the little breeze which the denizens of the "Hornet's Nest' attempted to raise on the subject of resistance and null ifical ion, and all that, has quietly subsided, met with no response from the people, and has died away while we stand where we did among the conservative friends of tlie lnicm and of the South, reflecting public sentiment, and coinciding with public opinion. It so happens, sometimes, that men, yielding to the vain idea of their great importance, and over estimating the efforts upon others of '.hose effects which they flattered themselves were mighty and super-human look for the world (or river) to be set on fire, when nothing bums except the flame they kindle open the altar of their own vanity . Accordingly, we see the little knot of agitators at Charlotte, in tlieir blazing leal and cverareening pride, attempt to get no a popular demonstration at Concord, W respond to tlie dogmasthey promulgat ed through their "organ," either Editorially, or speaking through "men in burkram" but alas ! the called meeting and the postponed meeting were both miserable failures, the bell rang, but the flourish of trumpets wae all in vain, the people would'nt come up to denounce and abuse the Vil mot proviso but turned tho cold shoulder upon the Clique of the "Hornet's Nest," giving them neither "aid nor comfort" and all the encouragement they received from any quarter, amounted to nothing mora than patting on the back by Iheinterrified" democracy, while laughing in their sleeves at their folly, and hoping to profit by It. We have lately had the opportonity of meeting with a great many Western men, and conversing with them npon these matters and we find that the "ignutfatuut" which blazed a.nong them but short time ago, led none of them astray but the true and sterling Whigs of our Western Coanties stand with us are unwilling to fight against a shadow and an abstraction, touching no rear and available right of ours , an art opposed to peril Kng this Union for what cannot be weighed one moment, by any sensible man, against its valuable blessings.

Nov. 27, 1849. 52 LOOK OUT! THE TREASON EXPOSED The advocates of a Southern Contention, who pretend to be so desirous of preserving the rights of lite South, are letting out their real designs pret ty early and are killing the project in the very bud. Some of the South Carolina, and Georgia papers are urging that this Convention, which has ben called at Nashville in Juno next, forthe pur pose of uniting the South on the Slavery question and protecting Southern rights, shall nominate a Candidate for the Presidency; and point to Mr. Calhoun, of course, as the man. If the organization of a Presidential party, and the adoption of a candidate is to be considered an appropriate end and summary of (deliberations by this Convention, we have no hesitation in saying that we are opposed to the whole scheme. The great question of Southern rights, to be properly and successfully handled, must be kept free of par ty and the struggles of ambitious aspirants for po litical power. It has heretofore been charged, that the aim af this Convention was lo form a Southern C.infed racy, of which Jn! n C. Calhoun was to be the f resident. If so, the aunt are only now ap pearing; and we warn the whigs of the South to be on their guard. "It is not, and it cannot come to good." So far as any of these designs militate, in ad vance, against the Union of the States, so far are they throwing difficulties in the way of the main tenance of Southern rights, and pander to the de signs of the Abolitionists of the North who wish to drive us out of the Union. If Mr. Calhoun is to be the prominent champion of Southern rights, well and good but the South can never unite upon him for President. And a great many reasonable Southern men think I hat almost any other South ern man is a more safe and prudent leader. We are willing to have Mr. Calhoun's aid, In any struggle for our rights which may be before us but if we arc to undertake one, that the fruits, "may enure to his benefit," so far as we are con- corned the game is up ; and the Southern Conven tion that we go for must be single in its character, and disconnected with party. - LIKEWISE AND ALSO. Mr. M. once objected to the competency of a witness, alleging that he was non compos. The court granted leave to test the matter. " Can you tell niettieditlerence between likewise and .?" " Maybe az'ow I ran," replied the witness. The iawyer chuckled, and said "Go on, sir, let us hear." " Well, you see'ow Col. P. is a lawyer." " Very well," said the counsel. " And you is a lawyer also." ' Very well." " Col, P. is likewise a gentleman." ' Very well." " But you is not likewise?' The lawyer was dumb. Congress Water.

In 1849, the lady's Book gave 916 psges which is 116 more than one, and 148 more than the other Philadelphia monthly.

We gave, in each mimlier. a piece of music, printed seperately on tinted paper, making 24 pages, or 1 2 pieces in a year. To show the cheap ness of the lady's Book, this same music, if bought separately at the music stores, would cost exactly the price of the whole year's subscription $3.
