J v.. " WILMINGTON, N. C.f V ; SATURDAY, APRllT V 1855. : TIIE JOURNAL AUDITS AFFINITIES. The Journal seems to "be so beclouded by its foreign affinities, as to fail to observe ,the pellin of word3or their" import 7 This is exhibited in his 'remark on our ar- , ticle relative to the Cincinnati Riot, in which he blames- ua for condemning- the .foreign population ?' without examination, wiifcftut waiting for particulars." , Before proceeding we wilt, premise, that w are on the"6ide of Amecafor il is the country of our ancestors; and tee presump tion that they aro never chiefly tp blame ;in conflicts at the polls, wjlh foreigners in stantly arises when a ease occurs.

But if it were a sin to take the cannon on the part of the Americans, the Foreigners took it back again and sin ned a!so. To be sure it may be said that , these " democratic " patriots, only intended to improve themselves in a service very , useful in, defense of our country and that instead of appealing to the law for redress in regard to the cannon taken, they only played the game - of " as does "Mufti," which many of our readers know is quite an innocent amusement. Our nenrhbor of the Journal cannot fail to perceive that we are doing our best for him in the position he has taken and make as many excuses for his friends as he can reasonably expect, under all the circumstances. , ''"' Year after year, in a large number of the StateSj'tlo we hear of ihe assaults of for eigners upon American voters at the ballot box. -'Most of them untutored in political discussion, instinctively use offensive weap ons ; because they neither understand the principles of well regulated liberty, nor the sacred character of its palladium the bal lot box. This is history. This still is his tory, though written, peradventure, under ths influence of "christian dislike" to quote an expression of our neighbor. The progress of -affairs indicates a fearful crisis ; and we much fear that through the corruption of parties, under the appetite for the " foreign vote," connected with inci dents that have been often laid before the people in disgusting array ; disgraceful to the country and dishonorable to American patriotism and insulting to American rec titude and wounding to American pride ! , , 0 ... we mucn iear5we say, max our imerties will sooner or later, find security 'only in the coverture of blood. . We speak from reflection on this subject ; of an issue that may be sooner of later ex pected, not what we hope for ; we express a solitary opinion, without speaking for any jparty or any individual whatever. But this is, tee think, the tendency of the times , and shadows forth the complexion of the future. - In connexion with this subject, we invite the attention of our readers to an article from the New York Express replete with alarming facts. - -. - . " MR. McGOWAN. In answer to our request, that the truth might be published, in the caso of 'Mr. Mc Gowan, irrespective of party bias or politi cal influence, the Raleigh Standard has the following : . . ' " Mr. McGowan has no copy of the letter he wrote to Mr. Everett. It was written in pencil marks, and probably hastily. Dut he assures us that the above is incorrect. lie alluded to some reports in the neighborhood against Mr. Everett, and added that a public officer shoal J be 'like Cfesar's wife, above suspicion.'" He did not even know that Eve rett had a wife. ? lie did threaten Mr. E. that he would try to have him turned out of his office as postmaster. . x " The following is Mr. Everett's letter to Mr. McGowan, to which Mr. McG. replied. After stating his account against Mr. McG, he says: Sir. jo n wdl here find a statement of your account with m which muet be settled up'! immediately, or I snail lake steps to get it. it is not the amount I think so much of, but it is the disposition you have of trying to chouse me out of it.'. i . . . " At the bottom of this lett'er is the follow ing by the magistrate who had Everett and his friends in custody at Weldon, after Mr. McG. had sworn the peace against them, and which induced turn to come out of the car, when the attack was made upon him : , ' The language is retracted at the bottom of this bill referring, we suppose, to the above letter at the end orEverett's account Eds.J uponfontfitloo.that the whole ol your pote la retracted. Thia. I am authnr ized to say, on t lie part of Mr, Everett and his friends. , RICHD..B. PARKER. . March 5, 1855. ' ; . u We may here state that we learnjnat Everett and his accomplices have been ad mitted to bail and -are at large.5 From the statement made, above, we are compelled to admit that the case again pre sents itself to our mind in all its original de formity ; and, so far as we can ascertain, it mus4 be cpneeded that Mr. McGowan has been most grievously wronged by the darin" and lawless actwn of the accused parties. Thecaeft, however, will UDdergo.ee .. legal iir vesiigatioijj and onPthe decisionof ; the Court alone can we make a tiDal judgment. ; This refers to our remarks about the bull which wo supposed Mr. McQowajt might have com mitted. . :- ' ,!

We like the spirit which animates the peo ple of the Wtat. and look lortvard to tha best results. Several speeches were made on the occasion. The report states (hat Capt.

On this occasion Capt. Hoke was. more elo quent than usual; and his appeal to all to unite in a concentrated effort to accomplish this great work, was highly gratifying to the people of the several counties represented in ihe meeting. The Captain eulogized the Wilmington people in the most complimen tary term3, and proved it to be the interest of this section to trade to that point ; and, there fore, that it i3 all important that this Road be built at oncej' In some remarks on this meeting the Ral eigh Standard 6ays : ''We also see ia the Sal isbury papers the proceedings of a meeting held in Newton, at which a. determination was evinced to prosecute with energy the construction of the road west from Salisbury.

Several plans for the extension and beau tifying ol the City Hall nre now waiting the choice of ; ihe Common Council. One of these, proposed by a Mr. Gilbert, is in good favor, and, if adopted, will give us a building . , . , . -.I perhaps unsurpassed in the world for mum- cipal purposes. It contemplates, a four-to- ricd structure, with fronts on Broadway, Chambers and Centre streets, forming a j j i quadrangle wiih the present City Hall, and em losing a central open court of, two acres. The principal front, on Chambers street, will be 52U feet; the wings, on Broadway and Central streets. 3C3 feet ; the whole to con tain about one hundred and fifty rooms. The structure is to be of white marble, with an elaborate and costly ornamentation. The cost, which is roughly estimated at two and a half millions, is, perhaps, the strongest ar gument against it, and may cause its rejec (ion. One of the men who never read a news paper came to town on the 30th instant. Of course he wasn't posted, and fell a victim to the "Patent Safe Swindle," a trick which has been explained probably in every news pheet in the country." He. went innocently over to Iloboken, ivith two newly made but ardent friends, and allowed one of them to stake his entire pile that the piece of white paper was in the ,; p: etty curiosity, just bro't from Canton" by the other. The borrower loses, and gives our verdant New Hampshire friend a check for $S0O, which, on presenta tion, he finds, much to his sui prise, is worth-; less.
