Burke, and Yancey counties IN North Carolina
thence to Washington or Carter in Tennessee, is
not only sixty or seventy miles the shortest route
but Contrary to the received opinion of many who
have no, examined it, affords the best pass in the
Blue Ridge from Virginia to Georgia.
"ReSoired, That II is a duty we owe not only &c
ourselves, but with these conviclions) TO all the
States concerned, to endeavor TO have a survey Of
this route by the Engineers, at as early period
as possible, and report thereon; which, if found
be sustained. If not--as the common good is al
we seek-we are willing to support that rout,
which may be found nearest and best, but hop'
that ourj claims may at least, be examined.-And

Gen. Dudiey.-We are gratifed to learn
from the Newbern Sentinel, that the can.
didate Of the White party for Governor in
this State, Gen. Dudley, at the recent term
o! Onslow County Court, addressed the peo
pie at length on the politica! topics of the
day. The Sentinel complains Of this course,
and speaks Of Gen. Dudley's harangue as
an attempt TO gull the people. Why IS il,
that every effort to enligihen the public
mind, whether through the press or from
the Hastings, is denounced by the Van Blu.
ren,es! Is it because their deeds are evil
and they fear the light In no other way
can we account for their love of darkness
We are gratified to see the Anti. Var
Buren, Candidate for Governor setting thi.
example OF mixing with the people, and sa.
tisfying any doubts which they may enter.
tain as to his political opinions. We see
the same propriety in the Candidates for the
Char Of State pursuing this course, as those
offering for the Legislature. 1t is impos
sibIe that the great mass Of the voters car
act understandlngly in the selection of q
Governor, unless they have some knovl
edge OF the views Of the candidates. Ant
how can this knowledge be impaired in ;
mode more consonant 10 our Republican
usages, than by personal intercommunica
ton with the people We hope Gen. bud
ley will continue this interchange Of opin
ion with the electors, and will explain hi
views to them as frequently as occasion pre-
sents. The people will show, through thu
ballot boxes, whether they approve it O.
not.-Ral. Reg.
