Come out, Davyi and ex plain the enriom muddle in whicli you find yourself, when ypu are now "verging on the three-score and ten. Much interest is manifested to know, who it was that originated tho shrewd dodge of allowing tho leople to elect their Justices of tho Peace,'' while tho power is reserved to tho General Assembly, to say what their powers shall be? Who got up this shrewd dodgo to impose upon the, masses of tho people of North Carolina? Did "Little Davy" havo a hand In it7? We should not wonder. When a man does start back politically, ho usually goes down grade fasUv . Western North . Carolina Bail ; .lloau. ; . . The : Western-Expositor of 29th September, as If determined to mis represent Governor Brogden for po litical purposes,. contains a very un fair and illiberal article headed "an outrage 'ujMn the. people West of Ashevill." which we are con strained, to say is grossly unjust to Gov. Brogden. -: It us ventilate., this 'outrageV' as Xl J'JxpoHtor is pleased, to call it, and see in what it consists.' .': The Act in relation to the con struction of the Western N. C. Rail road, which was passed by the late Legislature , provides for four Commissioners, three on the part of tho State, and one on the part of the individual stockholders. Gov ernor Brogden appointed two Com raissioners in the West and one in the East, and the stockholders elected one in the West, so that there are three in the West and only one in the East, which pays nauch the largest part of the State taxes into the Public Treasury, and yet the Expositor is not satis fied. Probably if tho East would pay athe taxes and build the road, and let the West have the sole and exclusive management of it, the Expositor would not then call it so great "an outrage upon the people .West of Asheville.' It is just such a courso as that Journal would adopt which would keep up a continual jealousy between the East and tho West. Now does the Expositor propose that the West alone should build and pay for this road? Is not the West ready and willing to receive help trom the East by way of taxation and money? If it did not desire any aid from the East, then there might be some sense and reason in its course. The East has to help build and pay for that road, and therefore justice requires that it should have some representa tion in the commission, for we be lieve the Expositor will not deny that taxation and representation ought to go, together. Governor Brogden was urged by prominent and influential citizens of a large number of counties in the East, embracing many of the largest tax-paying counties in the State, and - unanimously by the Chamber of Commerce and the mercantile in terest of Wilmington, to give that city a representative on the Com mission, and with a patriotism and liberality broad and comprehensive enough to look to the best interests of the whole State, and with an hbhcst ' and earnest desire to pro mote the commercial interests and prosperity of Wilmington, Gov. Brogden, appointed Col; W. P. Canadaya native North Carolinian; and' a gentleman of industry. energy andmearis, to that position. The Governor required a justified bond of $20,000 from each of the State Commissioners, and: we learn that . Col. Canaday's bondsmen are worth more than $1,000,000 clear of all incumbrances. . 7 ; , f liOncsome! Ransom has been looking down in the, mouth since Patterson ar- rived. Xiayy,:; Specks, Clingman and the-rest of the prop3 don't post him how to decide. The Conven tion! will soon adjourn and they want to shake him. Poor fellow, go homo and 'drown yourself. It would be the best way to hide your shame. . Stand from" under Yeates. We learn that the Self-Elected was bribed with the promise of the Democratic nomination for Con- out Jesse or Ransom will give you ho "Grand UisL" Roberts, (of Gates), and Jar vis have doubtless made . the Self-E ectod some huge promue. The Circus Pictures. The flaming posters on which are pictured horses, chariots, elephants, lions, tigers, and numberless repre sentations of equestrianism, fec., have been quite a source of wonder and amazement to many of thie Democratic delegates. They spent the most of Sunday in front of the bulletin boards admiring the pub- ties and many were their excla mations of delight. , In our opinion these delegates will not vote to ad journ until after circus day. More rights were taken from tho people to-day v Shepheid's report will complete the Democratic job ! The "Itev'ilr. Spake. In an article recently published in the Raleigh Nexvs, under the head of "Mow they do it," we find the following: "The most glaring case was that of Mr. Spake, whom Radical lead ers ignorantly presumed to be doubtful, and as harshly believed to be corruptible. At Asheville, it is said, they invited him to a room and there offered him ; one of thecommissionershipsof theW. N. C. R. R.i and the Superintendency of the road. Mr. Spake indignant ly spurned the offer and left them with tne lull Knowieage mat tney had stumbled unawares upon an honest Democrat." "It is said that a very high of ficial repeated these offers after Mr. Spake reached Raleigh." We are not aware that this Rev erend worthy had been given the promise of such high honors while at Asheville. We were however, informed that he sought recommen dations at the hands of Republicans here for some position on the W. N. C. R. R., and that he boldly proclaimed, while here, that in beating the regular Democratic can didate in Jackson he had broken up one of the most corrupt rings that ever existed. We are further reliably informed that Mr. Spake was in secret conclave with tne lie publicans of Jackson County during the campaign, ana that ho then made them oledees in order to pro cure their suffrage. These pledges he has wilfully denied, and worse than all has totally and "reverent ly" disregard. By so doing 'he has stultihed himself grossly. We are further reliably informed that when he got to Raleigh ho ap proached Gov. Brogden and want ed to sell him a lot of old Railroad carts, picks, shovels, ect., He also represented himself to the Governor as a Railroader of great experience, and by way of hint at a bargain and sale, asked the V Governor to give him a position -on the Road, even if it should only be that of "Boss," -tie aiso aporoachea uoi. uocKery, and after making promises to him to vote for him for President oi tne Convention, asked his influence to help sell the Governor the carts, fcc., and to secure a position. Another very amusing thing nas been said by the lialeigh Hews. It speaks of Mr. Spake as a gentleman of culture. As to. what it taues to constitute "culture," probably the News has- its own definition. But if we are correctly - informed, he is anything but a man of cultivation, but bloated with presumption)and is not at all insensible or ill inclined to such nice little pieces of blar ney as the Neios has been poking at him. In fact,: we imagine ; if one could get a glimpse at that long sanctimonious face of his, while sit ting in the Convention surrounded and lauded by the mighty, mag nates of Ihe Democratic party, would have a tendency to be awe inspiring. . Brother Republicans, from your seats look over and be hold the mighty and incorruptible ! Now won't the News tell us some thing about what tho Democrats offered Dr. Wilcox if he would fall down and worship with them ? What about the two thousand dol- arsin cash that was. offered him? What about your promises to elect him to Congress in the 7th .District, next year if he would .act with the Democrats ? Ha ! ha ! ! Gentle men, you must have ignorantly 'stumbled on to an honest Repub lican"; one you "rashly believed to be corruptible.1'' . . Now let an investigation be had and expose all you want to. But be sure to have an investigation, and dpnt suppress it like your Con vention has the Robeson county case, where you havo willfully sto len a majority from the gentlemen who are legally elected.
