Our friends wii! please not f-irget our hint to send us the Return as soon as possible. A little pains in this respect' will aid the whole State in an early ascertainment of the result. FOR WASHINGTON. Ex-Governor William A. Gbaham left Ihia city on Tuesday morning for Washington City, to lake his place in President Fillmore's cabinet. We intended earlier to express tlie great pleas ure felt by the Whigs of the Slate at this appoint menta pleasure shared by many of our Demr- cralic friends. Gov. Graham is a favorite son of the Old North Stale one who, whatever the sta tion be may be called to fill in his country's service, he will adorn . by the dignified courtesy of his bear ing, by his fidelity, and by the ability with winch he will discharge all the duties devolving upon him. But he will prove a sagacious, safe and pru dent counsellor one of the very best the Presi dent can have in the circumstances in which, tho country is placed. So far aa the cabinet is filled tip, it is very ac ceptable to the South. We have four reliable men, and Daniel Webster, who belongs to the whole Union aii American Indeed. Iet the President be firm but moderate and conservative in his course, and it requires no great foresight to predict the un bounded strength and popularity of his adminis- t ration. . ..- THE COMPROMISE BILL. In the Senate, on Monday, the vote was taken upon Mr. Bradbury's caucus amendment, provid- ing for the appointment of Commissioners to settle tho Texas question, when it was rejected, yeas 28 nays 28. We are without reliable information as to the passage of this bill in the Senate, The in dications are that the vote will be very close, and it may possibly pass yet. The old patriot of Ken tucky stands tip to It nobly, with the vigor of a boy, and the soul of a man full of tho fire of his best days, and with that unrivalled ability and elo quence for which his life-time has been distinguish ed. There' no despair about him to the Union he clings with the fondest tenacity, and in its pre servation he is .willing to peril health and strength and life. Noble old Harry 1 What American heart that is in the right place but must warm and bora with pride to gaze on such a man I WHIGS OF RALEIGH !

They will never do anything fur you they will never vote for a Whig, though auxious enough to profit by Whig folly in lhi re. nect.

The Kditor of the Standard is informed thai no miserable and ridiculous travi s'7 of ihe ai ol the Editor of the Times will avail to clear him from our grasp. That tame " energy" which he attri butes to us, shall serve us (o hold him up to the people of North Carolina, as ihe moat unscrupu lous parti zan in the Stale. Plain and open shall we be in, our denunciations of his tricks, his sub terfuges, his prevarications, and his connivance at, and publication of, the inventions of others, while the Whigs of North Carolina shall enable us to drive a press. We shall not mouth Slid mince, and veil our meaning, and hint at a falsehood in meek and lowly phrase. We shall call things by their right names boldly, though all the world get mad. Our hand can keep our head. We are here to watch and defeat the Locofncos of North Carolina. " Tis our vocation, IIuI Heretofore, we have labored industriously in it, with our whole soul and strength. ' Heretofore we have been successful. We hace no fears note. Predictions are not in our line they are useless and unprofitable at the best. If the Whigs of North Carolina do their duty, the election is sure. Time has always proved it, and will prove it again. When did the Democratic party fail to poll their full slrength in a State canvass? JNeter.' they have always done their utmost, and have always been d fated. It will be so again. An uncivil word is like an overcharged gun which recoils on the cannoneer. While we ask no favors or forbearance from our eotemporaries, of any name or any politics, when they think our course is open to their comments, we shall endea vor to pay them scot and lot kindness and civili ty in the same coin wrath and animosity with the keenest thrust of our stalwart and glittering knife. And God defend the right. Are we notree? Is not this the soil of the old North State 1 Are there chains and fetters here for the mind ? Are there manacles for the press 1 Woll.then, il we have free intellect and free hands, " fight on fight ever!" thai I be our motto, for the Whig party until we get all other Locofoco Editors to the wall as closely as we have the ag grieved and indignant Editor of Ihe Standard Our readers will bear in mind, however, that it is witliJuWic men and their acts that we have to do; and with those who thrust themselves before the public. We are not the assailant of private reputation, though the Standard insinuates ai much. We have never been sued for libel ! We wrong no man wilfully in his social or moral char acter! Public men, candidates, partisans, we shall boldly challenge where we find them, over throw their issues, scatter their intrigues, expose their tricks and deceptions, and do our utmost to keep the people of the State from being deluded and imposed on. Therefore, as is our wont, we shall keep a vigilant eye upon the Stantlard, its aiders and abetters, and keep the public fully in formed of all their movements. Escape is hope less eventual retribution feure. And ihe good Whig State of North Carolina may she ever he preserved from the clutches ef the" spoils" party. Our reward is scanty but our peace of mind is great. We hace faithfully discharged mr duty, and can sleep o'nights, till the Election Returns come in, when once more our glad shouts of triumph will be raiwd for a glorious Whig victory in the pld North State, amid the waitings of dis com fitted Locofocodorn, and the dispairing lamen tations of the pure and immaculate Editor oi the Standard. 1 1 he has a pipe, he may put the above in it, and smoke it, and then bite his elbow 1 We snap our fingers at him and his malice. THE LATE CANVASS. As the election will bo over before this paper reaches our patrons out of the City, there are some important matters which came under discussion during ihe campaign, which may well enough re ceive our attention now. And first, we may con sider it as settled that our Stato Constitution is to undergo some amendments. - The agitation of what is called "Equal Suf frage," by the Democratic Candidate for Governor, during the Summer of 1848, we doubt not, awa kened the public mind in North Carolina upon this subject. It was discussed by the press moro or less upon i'.s merits though it was chiefly oppos ed by the Whigs because not properly brought before the people, and into the canvass; and be cause they believed it wasa scheme to carry away the popular vote. While this is so. it is still true, that many of them opposed it upon principle then, and we suppose will oppose it again, whenever it comes before the people for their decision. In that canvass, too, the Democralic press, with noexcep- lion that we are aware of, advocated it as a party measnre ; and they have continually claimed ever since, that while the Democratic party favors this change in the right of suffrage, the Whig party opposes it. Accordingly, in the last canvass, the moot prominent measure inscribed upon the Demo cratic Banner was " Free Suffrage." And Ihe election of Reid, should it occur, would be hailed by his friends as the triumph of " Free Suffrage." It was our belief, expressed over and often in the campaigirof 1848, that the one measure simply to break down the property qualification fur voters of the Senate, proposed by Mr. Reid, would not be the stopping place would not satisfy the peo ple of the State. If yon admit the principle, that where the voters are, there should be the political power, fine check provided in our present constitu tion being given np, another and another will fol low, until the wholesome principle tha! taxation and representation should go together will be des troyed ; and in the Slave State of North Carolina, Ihe Slave properly will he unrepresented the landed property will be unrepresented, and two such popular branches or the Legislature will be constituted upon the basis of the white population, as to throw all the burden upon the property of the State, and la lie it off the polls."

When we published the brief paragraph last week from the BicJimona' Enquirer, respecting MajorGwynn.asan article of news, it was no more than natural that we should express our sur prise that the true state of the facts should not be known here. We were highly pleased at the sp- pointment, believing it the very beat that could be made. But if Major Gwynn is not to come to the State, and give his strict and close attention to tho work, we fear an unfavorable prejudice will be created both sgainst him and the Road, whether welike itornot. We should have had no more to say upon the subject, however. But our article has called out the communication of'A Stockholder" In another column ; in inserting which, we of course open our paper to any reply which may be deemed use ful, on the part of the friends to the arrangement, which has been made. They may discuss it or not as suits their pleasure. RIDING BOTH SIDES. The'ingenious Editor of the Easten Caroli na Re publican recommended Mr. Re'uTs Internal Im provement notions to his readers in a very happy manner. If this reading had only been adopted alt over the State what a lucky thing It would have been for the Democratic party. It comes pretty nearly up to Saunders's panacea "no matter what you believe, so you vote right !" Hear the Newbern Editor : "We refer our readers to Col. Reid's address for a correct understandine of bis position with refer ence to Internal Improvements. His position is a good one and is such as to meet the approbation of all, whether Internal improvement or Ann-internal Improvement men." This blessed state of betwixity thus attained by Mr. Reid .upon the subject of Improvements, is by no means an isolated case in this canvsss, nor a novel one in any. It nsed to be called "riding both sides of the sapling;" and was attempted by Gen Saunders when he sent a message to the Roles ville meeting. The meeting, however, required his endorsement in black and white. He gave it- yet the Whigs are told he is a true Internal Im provement man yet ! This pleasing of all parties is as old as electioneering tactics. It sometimes succeeds but more generally, the rider comes to tho ground, amid the jeers and laughter of the spectators. In the two cases alluded to above, we incline to think the parties will be equally ridicu lous, whether they succeed, or whether tliey tail ! considered extreme but we say this is the tenden cy of this thing, though the present generation may not see it accomplished. We were neverof those who feared to trust ho people wilh political power. It all belongs to them subject only to such restraints as in Iheir wis. dom they may deem advisable. " But reform and justice are not always synonymous terms : nor are all who call themselve reformers calculated to lead nv l to greater happiness. There are impostor & quacks in reform, ns in all other affairs', and il is these that always make tho loudest pretensions," The people are sometimes stirred up on this subject from motives more demagogical than mischievous; and accordingly we found.at the Session ol the last Legislature, that the party which had clamored the loudest for "Free Suffrage during ihe pre ceding summer, was not the readiest to concede it to the people. We think we make no mistake in asserting that two bills to bring this thing about were before the Legislature, and both were killed by Democratic votes in the negative, enough, had they voted aye, to have passed one of Ihe measures. The bill to submit an amendment of the Constitu tion to the people passed the House, and was re jected in the Senate ; while the bill to call a Con vention for amendments, was rejected in the House, not being suffered to reach the Senate. In the late Whig State Convention, we voted heartily for the Resolution declaring that the Le gislature should adopt some mode, ill accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, by which the sense of a majority of the People may he clear ly ascertained, and their wishes carried out, in re ference to this matter. That Convention took the true ground they established a principle, in rela tion to amendments of the Constitution, upon which tho Whigs of the whole State can always stand for it is the Whig principle oftener acted upon than prated about, that the will of ihe people is the law ?f the land ; a law which cannot be defeated by any Nets power, or overturned by the caprices of parly.,; Aware that this whole subject must come up for early discussion before the people, when the ex citement of the election shall have passed away, we shall take the opportunity of presenting our views and opinions to our readers. Whether the Whigs of the State are in favor of, or opposed to, " Freo Suffrage," we take it for granted that they desire the matter settled, either in one way or the other. They do not wish it kept up as an ele ment of agitation, subject to be thrust into our State canvass by whomsoever, and whensoever the demagogue may wish political capital to speculate upon. If State Reform in needed in this respect or if it be deemed advisable to give the election of Judges, Justices, State Officers, Sic, to the people, let the.question be submitted to them at once, and let them answer aye or no. If they respond in the affirmative, the way is clear they have the power to make the amendments. If they answer no, then may we trust the power of agitation will be taken away for at least a term of years certainly not to recur every time a Governor and Legulature are to be elected.
