animously adopted :
WauisAi the right peaceably to assemble to
gether, and consult for the common good, is one
secured to us; andv whereasalsot the people,
either directly themselves or mdirecily by their
legally appointed agents have the right to elect
all their public functionaries ; we, a portion of
the people, of W.ke County, have met in
order to select some individual whom we will
support for the Presidency. That election high
ly important at all times; is especially ko now,
when a portion of the people of tue Northern
State, disregarding the guarantees of the Con.
atrfutioryand the peace and safety of our com
mumty, seem bent upon an interference', with
our domestic institutions. In the trying.'emer.
gencies in wh'ch we may be phced, we want at
the head of the Government a man who is with
ws onthis subject beyond all doubt. Mr. Van
lluren may be with us, but he is suspected of
being so for political effect, and certSin of his
acts seem te g.ve a strong colouto this susni.
cion. His vote, instructing the-Senatora of
New York to vote against the admission of Miss
oun into the Union, unless slavery waa abolish,
ed ; his active support of Kufus K.nr.lth
champion of that restriction ; his recent letter,
in which the inexpediency of agitating the ques
tion in the District of Columbia, only, is spoken
of ail prove that he is not one upon whom the
South ean rely with yndouBting confidence up
on this important subject. ' j
Mr. Van Buren, atahother mostt important
crisis, was Sfaln found apainst us. He voted
for the tariffs of 1524 and 1828, which a larce
majority of the people of thia State believe fa
violHtion of the Federal Constitution, and which,
with unprecedented , unanimity, they regarded
as inexpedient. . 3 -

Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road. A Ge
neral Meeting of the Stock holders of this
Company was held in this City,1 on Thurs
day iast, for the purpose of electing a Pre
sident and five Directors to manage its
concerns. On motion of Judge Cameron,
Weston RajBales was appointed Chairman
and Edmund B. Freeman, Secretary.
On motion, it was resolved, that a Com
mittee of three persons be appointed to as
certain the aggregate amount pf stock sub
scribed ; what proportion of it is'represent
ed bj proxy, and also to prepare a scale
showingthe vote fo which ch' Stockholder
is entitled, according to the terms of the
Charter. The Chair named as this Com
mittee,4 Thomas P, Devereux, William
Boylan, and Samuel Mordecai, of Peters
burg. The meeting then took a recess un
til 3 oclock, P, M.
At the hour designated, the Stockholders
reassembled, and Mr. Devereux, from the
Committee abov6 mentioned i made a dp-
tailed Report, stating the whole amount of
Stock subscribed to be upwards of 5,500
onares or 55530,010 of which number
3,011 Shares were represented by proxies.
a ne ivicnmona otocK, amounting to more
than oOO Shares was not represented. A
scale of votes was also submitted. The
Report having been accepted.
Mr. Devereux moved as preliminary-to
going into tne election oi a President, that
the salary ot that officer should be.fixed.
He enlarged upon the necessity of havinjr
at me ueau oi uie company a lliorough-wo-ing
business man, of practical talents, and
urgea me allowance ot such awcompensa
tion as would- not fail to ensure the servi
ces ot an energetic, capable President.
tie proposed in conclusion, that the salaay
iucu al oxjuu per annum.
Mr. Richard Smith (hough t this allow
aucc iw gici, anu expressed his convic-'
uon that the services of a President, pos
seiSmgthe requisite qualifications, might
uc tiuiunieu iur a less sum. He moved tn
nx the salary at g2,000.
Judge Lameron thoudit, with Mr. De
vereux, that g2,500 was not loo lar. j
salary for the services which the President
would be expected to render, and nressed
upon me meeung the importance of bavins
.i 1 1 ' r. -
a proper person in that office.
lhe question bemjr first Dut on 2.500.
it was decided in the affirmative by a large
majority.
Judjre Cameron nominated as President
oi the Cotnnanv. Genrop W. MnrHerai
hsq. of this City, and as Directors, the
following gentlemen : William Bovbn.
Thomas P. Devereux and Charles Manly,
of Raleigh, and William Plummer and
Joseph W. Hawkins, of Warren. On mo
tion of Mr. White, the name of Richard
Smith, and, on motion of Mr. Smith, the
name of William Peace were added to the
nomination. A ballot was had under the
superintendance of fjharles L. Hinton and
E. P. Quion, and on counting: the same.
it appeared that Mr. Mordecai was unani
mously chosen President, and that Messrs.
Bojlan, Devereux, Manly, Plummer and
Hawkins, having each a majority of the
whole number ot votes given in, were elect
ed Uirectors.
a -arv " '
On motion of Charles.L. Hinton,
Resolved, That the President and Directors be
requested to urge the prosecution of the work to as
speedy a completion as is practicable, with due re.
gard to its execution in a durable and proper man
ner.
The meeting then adjourned.
It will thus be seen, that this exeat work
has been begun under the most auspicious
circumstances; ana tne public have, in

Mark this' prediction, We observe in
the hist Star, letter from Mf. Gbrrit

ot Virginia, in which he declares that lhe
movements of Governor Marcv, and "the

indeed, the whole of the statements in the

Public Zano'j.We published in our
last, a bill, introduced jnto the House of
Representatives, providing for the gradual
reduction in price, and final surrender of
the Public Lands to the new States.
Since then, we perceive, that the "Globe"
has taken up the subject, and is urging the
passageof the bill through Congress. And
what argument, think you, kind reader, is
adduced by this organ of the Van Buren
party, in support of the bill? Why, that
General Jackson has recommended It I
Whether its provisions are just or unjust,
right or wrong, ' is immaterial ? Whether
the effect of its passage will be to depopu
late and ruin the old States or not, is deem
ed unworthy of a thought Gen. Jackson
wants the new States to have the lands,
and his liege vassals are given to under
stand, that if they vote against it, they, do
so at the risk of offending the President,
Who would not "rather be-a dog, and bay
the moon, than such a Roman ?" The in
terest of the Constituent is entirely lost
sght of, and the Representative substitutes
the will of the President for the duty which
he owes to the people.
Twelve hundred and nine Shares of U
nited States Bank Stock were sold in
Philadelphia at 8124 Der share. ThU
sudden rise is owing, no doubt, to the pro
bable passage of the bill, rechartering the
Bank, by the Legislature of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Ewing, the new Senator from Illi

Fatal Duel duel has occurred in
Missisippi, between Samuel Gwin, an offi
cer in the Land Office, and Isaac Xald
well, formerly Mr. Poindexter's partner
in the practice of law. The parties fought,
eachnarmed with four pistols, taking their
position thirty paces apart, with the right
of advancing. Mr, Gwin advanced, re
ceiving the fire from' four of his antagonist's
pistols, one ball taking effect in his breast
the wound considered to be mortal. Mr.
Caldwell fell and expired at the discharge
of Mr. G win's third pistol. The quarrel
originated in consequence of expressions
used by Mr. Poindexter, at which Mr.
Gwin took offence, and Mr. Caldwell took
Mr. P's part.
