Immigration, Accewibility of Horth Caro
t Una to Market
We take it to be the almost universal desire
of our peopled attract to North Carolina cap
ital,, trade, enterprise and -immigration.. Per
sons of any or all nationalities who are willing
, to assist in (he development of our diversified
resources, who are disposecLtQ -CultiTate kindly
relations and to attend strictly to their own af
fairs, who are worthy, honest and industrious,
and whose feelings are not vindictive or con-
.duct obnoxious, may he assured of a hearty
welcome to our ftutUt and of the amplest pro
tection under our laws'." This btiing the ca.no,
we are anxious to do all in our power to make
the fact known and to display the natural in
ducements to immigration so lavishly, present
ed by the State. Perhaps it ia hardly reasona
ble to expect, until our national difficulties are
composed and until the ilatut of the State is
defined and ascertained, thatv men or families
will venture their fortunes in a section where
everything is so precariouB and unsettled. The
current, unhappily, is the other way. Under
menaced confiscation, and continued exclusion
from the benefits of the Union, white oppressed
. with onerous taxation, with the prospect of ne
gro equality and other threatened ills staring
them in the 'face; many of our citizens are rath
er inclined to leave the " State and "seek settle
ment where they may. have a white man's
chance.
But W8 of the South are responsible for none
of these evils, present or impending.' It is our
part to await results with what serenity we may,
and, in the meantime, to omit nothing, consist
ent witli-conwsienco- and raahoodr- that can
prove our acquiescence in the issues of the war
or that is calculated to build up and repair our
shattered fortunes. '
North Carolina is more accessible and conven
ent to the great capital markets of the country
than any of those sections in which lands can
be bought at anything like as cheap rates as in
our State, We will select Weldon as the gen
eral point of comparison for the Slate, for the
.. that it is situated at the convergence of
four important railroads and therefore easily
accessible from all farts of the State. It will
be observed by any one, who will take the trou
ble to consult a modern Railway Guide, that it
lequi-distant from New Tork with Bufialo, in
thme8tttffnil with . Pittsburg, though we
cite these instances only to exhibit our proximi
ty to market, for, of course, it would be idle for
the emigrant, who desires a homestead lor Him
self and family, tothink of either of those vi
cinities as a point of settlement. Land could
not be bought near either for less than several
i,.1mH dollar tv.t acre. Attain, weldon is
nearly twice as near to New York as Cincinnati,
but half ihe distance from New Tork of Chica
go, and but little more than one third tire dis
tance of either St. Louis or St. Paul's, which
are the grand itarft' pointsv' whence eniigra;
tion diverges to spread itself over' the plains'
and through the forests of the greatfWesCT
Lr this connection, l there are other facte
to be taken into consideration. We have the
i,;i,,t nffixiul authority for the assertion, that
all the irovernment lands m the West have been
disposed of, and are at present mainly held at
Inch prices, for pnrposes of speculation. Kven
were this not the case, the proposed settler,. up
on arriving at either of the ttartingjmnU which
we have mentioned, ia still faf removed from
the object of hi desires, . Thoro are stillbeforc
him the tedious journey in the .emigrants wag
on, the Bight's bivouac, the pioneer's axe, the
solitude ot tils' forest, the distance from mr-
ket and the inaccessibility to the school house
and the temple of worship; turning South, he
m'av travel almost, if not quite, by rait, to bis
chosen farm, where he will find either a com
fortable dwelling or the Unihediate facilities
or buildiner 'one, the forest broken, the soil
. cleared, the msrket fionYenient, the school-house
nar. and "the church lifting its spire naru-oy,
The difference Jn pur, fayiir, in point of time,
f is equally etriking and marked. There are not
. I . ... t i Tlf.,l.li-
more than twenty-threci, nours oerween n siuw
and New York, by land, nor is there much dit-
fcrenceby water. , -;.x . :
The distance from Woldim to that-great ccn
tre, eifl the SeaWard and Roanoke Railroad
and the outside passage, i .about , 880 , miles,
- Which can be accomplished within thirty
hours! -The distance from Beanfort, also, an
other point of great importance in the State, to
New York la about 500 miles, which is now
overcome in 40 hours fey sea; and often the
same time wifflce for the trip from Newbern,
eta the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, the
widestCanalin America, having a width of 70
' feet, and Norfolk, to New Tork ,
In everv point of Tiew, therefore, the proxim-
j lty of an parts of North Carolina to the great
markets, and the facilities for' attaining them,
most greatly impress the observer. Weldon, aa
we have said, lies at the convergence of the two
great thoroughfares between the North and
South, and at a focus of communication with
every section of. the 8late,the rich corn land
of the Roanoke, the fertile rjee, fields of the
Cane Fear Counties, the cottn and tdbacco
growing Uiatricte of. the midland egion, and
even the far-op mountain country, so highly re-
, commended for Sheep-husbandry, The rivers
of North Carolina are all navigable for about
" 120 miles ia the interior, giving, in the case o
three of them, direct water communication with
Norfolk, within fromr eight to twelve hours,
through the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal,
and putting points along the rivers of" Eastern
North Carolina within from thirty tq forty
hcursof New York, to the avoidance ot -the
perilous coast of Ilatteras. We need not cn-
largn-upori these particulars. A cursory inspec
tion of any modern map, with tho various works
of improvements and routes of travel well do-

The South.
If the Bpectagle of a great soul, strugiduig
heroically with tlie waves of adversity, is plea
sing to the gods, the spectacle of a great peojile,
transfixed with the arrows of misfortune, and
bleeding at every pore, yet uttering no excla
mation nf anguish or of anger, and neither
losing faith in Heaven, nor in its own upright
nesses truly sublime. SucU an exuibilion,
grand and affecting to all minds which-can ap
preciate true moral greatness, tno; aouin now
presents. If the- persecutions of their" enemies
were not completely blinded .by. party passions,'
they would feel more reverence lor the South in
its inisiortunes than when, at the sufmuit of its
prosperity, it guided and controlled the desti
nies of the great nation. With communities,
as with individuals, it is only tho fires of ad
versity that reveal the true character, and prove
whether it is made of gold or dross. To such
linlirtlcal has the South been subjected, and we
iisscrt that the result has demonstrated that it is
mi essentially groat people, and'fvill be romcnv
bered and admired in history as much lor the.
atreue fortitude and noble dignity with which
it has sustained the direst calamities, as tor its
lirilliant statesmanship in the period ot its
power and influence, and lor tUat magoiu-mn
valor in battle which has extorted the admiring
acclamations of the world.
What the South was in the days of her former
greatness, we all know. It was she who gave to
the world its "one Wasuington," me man raisea
ud bv Heaven for the achievement of American
Independence ; the man whose wonderlul ener
gies and capacity, combined with the most spot
less purity ol purpose ana 01 cuaracier, were uie
principal agency in the success'ul conduct of
the American lievolution and the triumphant
establishment ot the greatest Republic of mod
ern times. It was her Jefferson who wrote the
Declaration of Independence ; her Patrick Hen
ry whoso eloquent voice thrilled like a clarion
blast the hearts of a struggling people; her
Madison, who illuminated with bis wisdom the
true principles of the American Constitution,
and her Marshall wno remains 10 mis uay vuu

statesmen in the national councils'conducted the

arid the splendid genius of bcr soldiers in the

renown. It was; her Winfleld Scott, Andrew
Jackson, and Zachary Taylor, who,, from the
snows of Canada to the tropitrid9 of Mexico,
gave to the World exhibitions of the superior

saved the Union ho loved o well from the per
ils of division and civil war. These, tlie lathers
of American greatness, were the children ot the
great and glorious mother, at whose breast thoy
were nursed, on whose lap they first stood erect,
from whose lips they first learned those lessons
of patriotism, virtue and valor which made
their country gratjimongiuenauouB, aim men
names immortal among men,
Nor has the South contributed less to the
material thaii to the political and military im
portance of the nation. The vast domain of
the teeming and productive West was given by
the South to the American Union. It Is ' hft

wonderful variety and extent of tlie iieculiur
productions of her Own soil, of cotton, Vice,
tobacco, and naval stores, have laid the founda
tions of American commerce and contributed
by far the greater part of the revenues of the
nation. Strip-from American progress and

, The Next Legialaturo. ;
Hi Excellency, the Governor, will at an early
day, probably in his message, present to the
Legislalnre the amend ment proposed by Cong
tem to the tVwwtitutinn of the United - States,
known as the Howard Amendment, and offurcd
to Ninth. Carolina, as one of the State of the
Union, we suppose, for her rati float ion or . re.
joction. We ai not advised as to the.oourno
Governor Worth Will pursue in pn-senting this
amendment to the consideration of the Legisla
ture, but knowing him to be adverse to its
adoption, wo take it for granted lio'wit). recom
mend its rejection. That .tho Legislature will
reject tho proposition ia a foregone conclu
sion, aa a large niajorily ot the members are
pledged to their constituent to vote against
t. -
It has been suggested that the aiiicudmeirt
should be laid on tlie tablo without debate or
consideration immediately upon its presenta
tion. .We think that the proper course would,
bo for-thu proposition to meet with the consid
eration its importance demands and with the
dignity due tre legislative department of the
general government that propose it for our ac
ceptance. Let it be referred to a joint select
committee of the: two Houses, . comprised of
their ablest aud most discreet men, ami let their
committee, in behalf ot the body of which they
are members, and of the people ot the State,
whose representatives they are, present to the-1
Congress of the United States, and to the world,
the reasons which induce and justify .our ac
tion. In vie of the unpropitious prospects i of
our political future and of tlie direful threats
o freely and frequently uiadeaganiatusby that
part; at present controlling the destinies of the
country, our action should be careful aud delib
erate, ana tornned not only. to bear the scru
tiny of the North, but to justify us before the
world. When we have done thiol wo have
performed our full duty in the premises. If
then we are compelled, by the. implacable hand
of party tyranny, to pass under the yoke, our
heads will be lowered by the exercise of ille
gal authority and by the weight of irresistible
power, and not wittt snamo and degradation.
We think differently from some of our friends
in regard to electing a United States Senator,
lor tlie term commencing on the 4th v ' March
next, at which tiroo tlie term, for which the
Hon. John Pool was elected, will expire. We
think the Legislature should promptly elect a
Senator, uninfluenced by the course of Congress,
in reference to their rejection, so far, of those
already elected. . We certainly could not ex
pect representation without claiming it, and a
failure to elect would be virtually an abandon
ment of the claim. Should the Legislature fall
to elect a Senator, and at any time within two
year different counsels should control Con-
