I " 4 r ; BP.DISTRICTING THE STATE. : A considerable poriion or this weed's paper U devoted te a publication of the views of our Whig friends of the quill in tha Slate upon this abject. We collider it the most important sub ject that hai presented itself to our mind for some time. It is oiio, the adjustment of which will call for clear hinds, and honest, patriotic hearts. No measure, with which we are ac qusinted, ha beeo broached in North Carolina, Which presents- a more tmpo.me aspect ; ana weighty ud delicate responsibility will rest upon the members 6T the Legislature, who undertake at the next station to consummate it. sjiV nava no doubt of its entire constitutionality, nor any ' of its jMUuni fairness, nor of the forcible.rsasons which exist why tbe Whigs of th'o " OIJ North State" should Jiave a ma;onty ot the Kepresen , tatives il Congress (to which their popular ma- writ entitle them; should the next Presidential election be carried thither, nor arc we certain thai it will cot tend for a time to increase the Whig strength intlie State rather than diminish it, as the Standard newspaper intimates that it will. but we cannot divest oursclf of the opinion that tho measure is somewhat of a RADICAL NATURE, end-way be f -aught with evil conse quences to the heretofore comir'vaiiiielegtiMbn of otlr beloved old State: .j a door once open ed by the Whigs of the Slate to radical legisla. tion, may give tbe same an impulse which will cause it to disregard aH Conrtilutional limits : which result has boon brought abuut by the same cause in tlie present distracted State of N. York. Yet, in writing what we have, il is with no in tention ftf-endeavoring to erect a barrier to the will of our co-temporaries or that ofthe majority of tbe Legislature, bat we are honest in our con flctious, and considar it a duty to publish iu Rutherford Republican. r CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. As tbs question of re-districting tbe State has been broached by our co-temporaries in the State, or rather tbe Whig portion of them, we think it bent, that our readers may be enabled to form a correct opinion with regard to the propriety of the measuus to lay before them a statement of the Dis'ricts as at present composed.

Look at the map of tha State or North Caroli na, and you will readily discover that tha MOD- T.RN DEMOCRACY iu tho Legislature of '4'2 did not by any means lay off tbe Districts accor ding to tbe emitig uity of the Counties. And any one acquainted with the political complexion of the Counties will see that they wre governed alone by a party consideration Kurt.

We as sume that the Districting law, as it now stands, is a bad law. Bad, because it is unjust. Unjust hand I because it gives twice ths power to the few that it gives to the many. It should be altered be cause it is unjust, and because the Districts are without shape, form or convenience. Milton Chronicle.

("""" wun jneir utile about norrting, a tho i : ; - w..n.jgmw on r ana every tea seconds stealing a look upward io tho dial over tha riii-h.ir RE-DISTRICTING THE STATE. One of the mcjt imprtlant duties uf the ensu ing Legislature, will be the arrangement of the SUlo into Congressional Districts, by which the pon' ir character of the State will be fairly re presented. This step is due to the vindication of republican principles on whiiih our institutions are based, and is required, absolutely, by justice to tho people, who look to the Legislative body as the guardians of their rights and privileges. .But this is not all. The measure is required because it is to redress an outrage, perpetrated on tbe electtvo franchise; because tbe Legisla ture of 1842 were instigated to gerrymander the State, with the sole view of subserving the in terests of party, and without a solitary motive of public ttility or the advancement of the general welfare. We believe two of the Whig papers in the State are opposed to ro-districting at this time. They tike a very different view of this case, from the light in which we view it. Suppose it is a precedent for frequent changes? We care not liow often there is a change in the Districts, so that those effected by the Whig party are for the purpose of repelling a trespass upon the rights of the people. Better to change every month, than permit unpr'ncipled partisans to desecrate the principles of republican liberty, and violate the provisions of the Constitution. Commercial, WELL-MERITED COMPLIMENT. , A grand public dinner was given, on the 12th ultimo, at Frankfort, Kentucky, by the Whigs of Franklin county, to the Hon. J. J. Critten den, Senator, and the Hon. G. Davis, tbe Rep. reentativo of the district inCongrcss. Besides a large number of residents of the vicinity which were present, mc entertainment was attended by a large concourse both oi ladies and gentlemen from the surrounding counties, swelling the en tire company to two thousand persons. The ex tensive tables were bountifully spread with the choicest viands of that favored region. These being fully enjoyed, and ths tables cleared, tbe President of the day, tho Hon. Jimes Harms, rose and delivered a brief address appropriate to the occasion, and introductory to the following resolutions, which bo read : M Procure a hundred pouads I I say its thss, J There's ne such sum in nstars.

In the days of old, when all mea were) heiiest, and wise, and unsophisticated, and plai a-dealing, and generous all human anaira went os) smooth ly. No niggardly thrift, no cercenar y safdsb. ness, no sordid iove of lucre, no miserly old- heartedness existed to threw a chill epde tbe warm and genial kindliness of social intercoarse. If a debtor could not pay, doubtless the creditor crossed out the account sod let nun go. ir any man wanted to borrow money,rwuicn might hap, pen, of course, in the best of times, he found a hundred friends ready to lead hitn any sum..

' hlaat n4 orAafikat tnvantinn that tha fvaniii. nf man has ever achieved, un ye, powers of pros perity I what harmony, joy, abundance, content, felicity, and glorious jollity, mutt have filled the land ! - For cash being plenty in every man's uot ket, all tbe shops overflowed with custom ; all handicrafts were in full activity, and everybody drove a rousing trade. People paid their taxes without grumbling. Everything was cheap, be sides being in great demand : the iaila were empty, and the' lawyers starved I But those limes were too good to last. By and by a little cloud began to gather over the sunshine of this golden age. The great and irresistible proclivity of all human institutions towards evil, began to manifest itself. Men became less libe ral and generous. Doubtless some miserly old hunk or other, first set the example by rafusutsj- to lend his money ; this instigated others ; and the exsmple wss soon followed by universal imi tation. Much ia the perverse fate of the world ! All good customs get speedily out of fashion Now, when those who had money would no longer lend it, those who wanted money could no longer spend il for how could they spend with out borrowing I So money became scarce ; peo ple could not pay their debts ; trade declioed, and lawsuits increased. Nobody would be generous, or charitable, or publiCapirited any longer; but all mankind suddenly grew selfish, ruerceuary and calculating Each man looked out for the main chance, end took cure of nothing but num ber oilc ; and the result of all this pestilent con tagion was the bleeding of that horrible, direful, wasting ravaging, lethiferous epidemic, whirh is now stalking over the earth at noonday in the frightful shape of hard times ! SjcIi appears to me the true philosophical ex planation of this phenomenon ; but whether this or any different account of its origin be ths near est the truth, the melancholy fact is indisputable, that hard times really exist ; and the question most interesting to all philanthropists, politicians, moralists, financiers, philosopher) pet,and poo devils, ie bow to get rid of thsin. D ire we hope that some species of legislative, metaphysical, or monetary vaccination will bj discovered in the comae of time, that shall extirpate this dire dis ease, and restoro the felicity of the good old gol den agu 1 Such RE-DISTRICTING THE STATE-AGAIN. We transfer to our columns some remarks on this subject from tha able pen of tbe Editor of the Petersburg Intelligencer, to which wo invite the eyes of the reader. It appears, from the lights now before us; that there are gentlemen of both tbe political parties in this State io favor of and opposed to Re dis tricting the State. Of course, all the Demscratic Editors are opposed to it and they, ministers of graee, hear it 1 call themselves deuochats ! ! What is a dsmocbat ? There was a time when re could answer the question but as these Ed itora kterprel the meaning of the wordthe rao dern meaning we gife it up ! Indeed they do not eeem to understand its definition themselver. We do not favor Redisricting the State for the mere purpose of enabling the Whigs to send 1 'majority or .ine uewgates to Congress. We go for it because we want.the District's laid off in a tetter form a form, at the same time, that will enable a majoeit? of lha Freemen of our State to eend a majority "of Delegates to Congress, in. etead of the maomiT sending a larger, aye, double the number as is now tbe case, ami as mast continue to be the case, unless tbe present . system be altered,) of the rnijority.

He took it to a broker for his onin ion, who bad told him he thnushl it wasn-ood : but still Mr. T. was not fully satisfied and asked if De would change iu Tbe broker declined but said he would give two lottery tickets and $1 in change for the bill. He accepted tbe offer and took the lottery tickets and laid them aside, think ing at any rate they were not worse than a bad Dill. About two weeks after he had a note of some hundreds to pay, and up to 2 o'clock on the day on wnicn it secame duo, had not a dollar where with to meet it. He was "shinning" about to raise means, bis pace increasing as the hour Irnd approached that ureautul turee o clock. It wanted but five tnin utes snd still the nrosnect teas irloomu. H hai only one friend to whom he bad not applied, and was on his way to his place of business, when some ohe caught hira by the arm and asked to speak a tew words with him. ' Can'!,' said T wiping tho perspiration from his race, ' i hree o'clock note no money pro test ana other similar disconnected sentences he uttered ss he struggled to free himself. Where are those lottery tickets I sold you! asked the broker, for It was he. At home,' said T. and taking out his watch and seeing that it wanted but two minutes to 3, he made a spring that cleared hitn from the grasp oi tne oroxer. The broker seemed determined not to let the tailor slip out of his hand so easy, as he gave cnas" anu soon eome up with him and began Those tickets ' "Hans the tickets :" he exclaimed in aronv : It'e my note and the ceriainty of a protest, that troubles me. "Then hang your protest and note too ; it's the tickets that trouble me. Why I want to tell you but rou won't let me, that you have drawn a prize of W,UUU, and 1 will hand you the mon ev before sun-down.' " ' ' T. forgot about the note kicked the protest sno tne man mat served it, to old Harry, and before night went and received as the nett pro. ceeds of his ticket, $31,000. No sooner had ho convinced himself that all this waa real, than he eent his goose to a place where it will need no artificial healing ; and he is now in Brooklyn cornioriaoiy ensconced in one ot those pretty cot tages in Canton St., near Dr. Stone's Church, which he has purchased. He lias settled on his wife and children S 14,000, kept 8L0j0O0for him self, set up a nice little carriage, nd, like a sen sible man, sits down to enjoy the "otium com dignitate" for Jife.
