On Tuesday, of this week, John W. Ijjgft vik, Esq., delivered an Agricultural Address before our people. We arc unaccustomed to getting up any thing like flattery, but it is due to Mr. Woocifin to say that his speech abounded with practical good sense and facts worthy the serious,,ec.‘‘,‘derntion of our farm ers. Our geographical position is queli that agriculture'must be cur chief dependence, and we confidently expect every mail who feels an interest in the improvement and prosperity of our county to join our Society. Public Met t ng tn rrpjhkUn. We arc gratified to learn, that at a meeting of the Union Party held in the Churt House or! Tuesday last, the following resolution, •Offered by Ger.. 11. M. Henry, was unanimous ly adopted with great enthusiasm. Jidokeif, That it is the sense of this mectjjig,1 that it is to the, interest of the State of North " 'Carolina and the Rail Roads already construc ted within her borders, that the State should extend the Western North Carolina Rail road through the counties of Haywood, Jackson, , Macon and {.Uicrokeo, to the Tennessee line at Ducktown, if ascertained to bo practical by the survey now making by a company 6f Engi nocr’s in the service of the estern Noith Carolina Rafl Road Company;, on the same ■i principles that Wefe applied by the State, in 1 the construction of the North Carolina Rail lload, ■ . | The meeting' passed further resolutions en dorsing tint ylatft-vm of principles laid down by the Union Convention at Raleigh, and rat <*.'.•_it.._hJh of said Convention, anc the.nominations of said Convention, and appointed delegates to ,-eprd'ent this county in proposed Convention tO be -l‘e^ at Ashe ville during the week of . the fwiperror Court at that plu >>c* ant^ declaring: as their preference for the Preside..-''5\ our distinguished fellow citizen, the Hon. 1?-- A. Guaham. The; meeting was. addressed by Henry, of Macon, and Col. 13, S. Gaither, ^ Burke, The delegates appointed to the CoiTvcnt'on at Asheville^ are Messrs. R, M. Heiiry, H. ,T Woodfin, N. G. Allman, D. W. Siler, Thos. ‘ J. Roane,. L. Howard/ O’’ ^ Rush, Jno. H. Ledford, Silas McDowell, J- B- Franks, Thos. Mash burn, Thos. Welch, H. H- Ray, A. B. -Welch, Jno. S. Gibson', H. N. Ce*oley, A. W. Bell, Esq., A. J. Patton, C. T. Trot.Vr, R. S. Siler and L. H-Allman. On motion, it was resolved that the Chair man and Secretary be added to the list of delegates. The Kentucky State Senate lias appropria ' ted $2,000 towards, the erefition of a monu ment at the capital of the State, to the - mem ory of Daniel Boone, the pibneer, the first ketderin Kentucky, war’. Cherokee CcnPt, c attended f]'ourt jn Cherokee last week and during "our jtay witnessed much to reflect uj»on, There is & good deal of jjitigation in -■•at County—-much more than is profitable to any peopl It is ususally iudica|tivc'!of pros perity and plenty in a county wheh her civil and state dockets are small. : . We did not learn the extent of; civil busi ness on the docket at Murphy; but we learned that there were over sixty State cases docket ed, about three fourths of which lire assaults and battery cases, These liavp generally ■‘grown out of: intemperance, and {stand a'B a commentary upon the manufacture and jfrVfic in spiritious liquors. We have, pot*-seen so many drunken men in a public street in a great while as we saw in the streets of Murphy during the. three days we were there. This excessive drinking is productive oft many evils which militate against the prosperi tv, and against the peace and dig! State. We thought there were idl men enough at Murphy during cou earned at their respective induct y of socie ty of the and drunk t to have •ial avoca tions, four or five hundred.dollars during the ! wcck. iuany oi tiiese were wor.se [than idle, for they spent what little- change they could command in drinking and gambling, I .* i ■ he liquor We very naturally supposed which those people drank, to be mean. This supposition was based upon the dor-duct °f those we saw drunk upon it. Every effect has its legitimate causes. .Some wcqld lie a l'O.und the grocery or drunk and gamble until meal-timc ternpt to sneak into a hotel—eat aid escape without paying for it. AYe think it] takes the meanest of liquor* to produce such rcfeults.' Another instance -of its effects' <l"ceured a week or ten days before the Cherokie Court. A drunken beast committed an assault in out-buildings,, get e-j-rtlien at upon .Du’- striking her with his gun anjd making seyerai •i.',*succps.sful attempts to shoit Tier.— The woniag seriously injured. AjYe leave it to the good of a candid publijj’if such liquor is not , excess: vcA’ mean. Indeed, the meanness of the liquot; or .'oinething else caus es; men just about flow to Clef u*> agrwt many tantrums, generally. A gentleman graveling |VTest remarked that he had only {ajliu1 011(3 drink of mountain whiskey and had Lit lia.c stealing something ever since. Whetjier; tlii.s traveler had been tampering with “kierret'x" liquor befare lie came this way or not! tve will n°.t undertake to say. We, however, j'focl no dangdr 'ous to hesitancy in saying that it is tamper with our mountain whiskey, especially so for men of moderate faith. I t used to be that it required ten or fifteen years to Let men joingas .they now go—but wo presume the liquor has nlany more evil “spirits" iu jit "now, than formerly. White spirits and bllck-blue spirits and red yellow spirits and giliy* all Ifcnce in the cup and. revel in the punjbh-bowL TrrBMc. £rBAEi"so. On tuesday of Court Cdl. Bilbo of| Nash ville Tcnn, who was at Murphy, proposed to of deliver a Railroad speech to the pejqde Cherokee. He advocated the extension of the North Carolina central road to . Buck) Town, and thence by a link fo Cleveland forcing a connection with the great ' Cost. This new—it is only- proposing io caTrT is out •ystcm of improveincht adopted by the plu North not the The State, the eonsnmntion of her wishes speaker indulged in a good deal of Railroad rhetoric for half an hour or such a matter, and then Jay a maneuver right and left filed off into a regular set to on politics. lie gave ufc Kan sas and Jolin Brown, Harpers Ferry aijd fire and smoke, North and South, Abolitfoni.-nq and Southern chivalry. We listeuefl and were wrought up to a fearful height—were in an intense agony, and when lie closed wcj walk ed away feeling confident that no Railroad of North Carolina gague could bear the burden heaped upon .it. W.c trembled for the em bankments and superstructure, and fijlt sa tisfied that no engine bad, as yet, ever.' been constructed that could move with the im mense freight of negroes, Abolitionists, jams, ammunition, soldiers, and music and banners heaped up to tlic very nostrils of the majestic iron horse. • I AOKICVLTCnAL. . The prospects -of the wheat crop in Cherokee arc by no means flattering, though we vfoticqd se veral wheat fields that were much rcvivcjl by the recent rains and warm weather. Th| crop promises to be much better than was anticipa ted by th^ farmers a month since. All! that Cherokee needs to make it a ling agricultural county is industry and onterprize. Theypiave the.lands and lime—the soil produce$ red clover well, and with a judicious system of agriculture frill yield remunerative crops of wheat, corn, rye, oats, peas and potatoes. \ OUR KO-\Df\ ' j Our trip, to Murphy was attended with some plea.*!Ult incident.", and some hazards.— The weather was £l»e and the roads firm (until we reached the head of V.'Hcy river. From thero we rode to Murphy, On Monday, urheavy rains. The State road is by no mead*, impro per condition. It is wornc atid rough in kmie parts, and the amount of repairs inadequate to its watifc. There is remissness somewhere, either amongst the overseers or on the part of the agent. . . j " By way of illustration we relate a rather hazardous escape we had during our return hc^ue. ‘ We were riding with thrc-C other -gen tlemen, just after dark, and while crossing the bridge ten miles cast of Murpby our hjjorse broke through and sank down so that be could not extricate himself. Three or four persons came to our assistance from a house near by, and after half hour’s labor , we succeeded ip ex tricating the noble fellow from bis perilous 4 condition; The agent, we were iiirmed, pas sed over this road only a few houtin advance of us. TVe could not refrain tln^h that he were present to sympathise witour noble horse hanging in dreadful suppenfl Jt cer tainly wQuld have prompted him . a more \ strict examination of the road any* uiore strict discipline with his overseers. | ;Up to that tihie We'felt disposcc|o mur mur at the remark of a distinguishc* traveler —that the people, where he lived worn Scarcely> attempt to carry a wheel, barrow over if State road. The truth is if our road- wasSfcpt in good repairs it is an excellent road-,aid out on a grade of one foot in sixteen, at - would be an easy ard safe road to travel ~&\f for a wheel barrow or any other vehicle iving a ! wheel more than the barrow.

We insert this tfeck, ns ail item of news, without expressing an opinion of our own, the resolutions of the Opposition Convention of this State.' We shall do likewise of all simi lar proceedings of other parties, which may •fall into our hands : 1. There .should be all honest and faithful Administration Of the general government, sep arating its appointments’and contracts from political bribery, and arresting the present profligacy’and corruption. 2. The control of the Senate over, the trea ty-making power of the President ought to he ever carefully preserved by that body as well in substance as in form, and the public treas ure and the war power of the government ought with the just jealousy of a free people to be kept in the hands of Congress, •3. The appointments to office should be of faithful and efficient men, and not. of more partisans who, for years past, have occupied some of the most ’prominent stations, to the dishonor of the nation and the imminent dan ger of our cherished destitutions. 4. The-rights of American citizens, wheth er native of naturalized, should be protected from aggression, and the national honor pre served, by fulfilling all our obligations to other governments, and by demanding and enforcing a fulfilment of tlieirs to us. o. New States should be admitted into, the ! Union w ithout regard to the establishment or rejection of slavery in their constitutions. G. The present laws of Congress on the sub- i ject of slavery should be adhered to—and all! further agitation of tho|''question withdrawn i from the arena of national polities, and the; whole subject left to the uninterrupted control of the people among whom it exists. 7. Feelings of fraternity and good neigh borhood should he encouraged among the j States, and the aggressions of one upon anoth-' ci should be repulsed and punished. That j notwithstanding the recent outrage in the; invasion of a neighboring State by a band of! fajnatics, with the intent to excite a'servile in- j snrrcetion, and the delinquencies of certain Northern States, in not fulfilling the covenants i of] the Federal Constitution in relation to the I institution of slavery in the.- Southern States, ! wis still regard.“the preservation of the 0 <ene constitutional vigor rnl Government in aH it as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad,” ar.d that wo do npt 'aetjuiesec in the necessity for a dissolution of the Union as a remedy for grievances now existing, or thiit in our belief are likely to occur. B. That we yield to no portion of oar fellow ! citizens in our determination to maintain bur! common rights in slave property, and this can be better effected within thy Union than by its destruction. When aggression upon these rights are com e""examplo of Virginia in the recent execu tion of justice upon the invaders of her soil, will, we trust render far distant the day which shall witness such another expedition for assas sination, insurrection and treason. When the perpetrators of injury do not venture within our Unfits, as in cases of seducing and aiding eseiapes, transmitting incendiary publications and refusing aiiu resisting the capture and res toration of fugitives, the remedies in practice arc not so effectual as we" cottiJ iT.'sh, and in good faith have a right to demand ; but it is difficult to perceive how they would be made ;mote so by converting the present frontier of Free States into a foreign frontier, by surren ler’ing the right to redress for injuries of this iat^fc in the Courts of the United States, the lower to demand the surrender of fugitives roin justice by the Governors of States, and be right to the capture and return of fugitive Saves, with all the force and at thi expense <f the United State.}. 9. That in our opinion much relief may be Boitalined against such injuries by a revision of "tie police laws of the Southern States, and iat whenever these frontier States shall find j tnndyar.ees to their proper enjoyment of this ecies of property calling for redress by force, y shall be ready to hearken to their voice, aid to make their entise our own. 10. "hat in States which have violated the ; deral Constitution by statutes. designed to i illify the ljaws of the United States for, the j itest and return to their owners of fugitive I res. the Federal law should be maintained fithe vigorous punishment of all jaerj P3 violation, such State laws to^he j notwithstanding. That we reaffirm our long cherished %ns in favor of the' distribution of the If lands, or their proceeds, among all the [ l‘S of the Union, as more than ever desir-1 a relief to the people of this State a-; [Slit the present burdens of taxation. I'll, The internal improvements of North Molina should be fostered and prosecuted rapidly as the resources and financial con ion of the State will permit, without bur Jiiiing the people with_ taxation or injuring public credi.t Vuerf.as, Great inequality exists in the ent mode of taxation, audit is just'and t that all property should contribute its portion towards the burdens of State: .csolved, That we recommend a Con of the people of the State to be called dcral basis as early as practicable for 0»e df so modifying the Constitution yy species of property may be taxed g to its value, with power to discrimi | °V in favor of the native products of our M the industrial pursuits of her citi ! kt the proscriptive polity of the Dcm ‘■arty of this State in excluding from office as well as fj'om all places of 1 honor aiid trust, all who do not subscfjlbo to the behests of party, meets our decided con demnation. - o. That an executive committee of eight persons: one from each Congressional District, be appointed by this Convention to confer with our friends throughout the State and Un ion as to the best mode of carrying out the objects of this’: Convention.
