Mn. RAYNER'S REsoLUTIoNS.-Tt will
be seen on reference to the proceedings
of the Legislature, that these resolutions
have passed the House of Commons, by
a majority of I votes-Mr. Graham, the
Speaker, who did not vote, making a
Wing majority of 6.-Every member
was in his seat, and the only one who
abandoned his party, was Mr.. Bedford,
of Rutherford, one of the strongest Wing
counties in the State.
There is no doubt of the resolutions
passing the Senate in which event there
is much anxiety to know how our Sena.
tors viii SCI. We have no further infor.
nation on the subject, but our impression
still is, that they will obey on the particu.
lar points covered by the resolutions, and
continue to misrepresent the State on all
others, as they have already misrepresen.
ted her in voting to postpone indefinitely
the payment of the fourth instalment OF
the Surplus. to which the faith of the Uni.
ted States was pledged. There are Der.
sons, however, who profess TO know, that
they will neither obey or resign, notwith-
standing their Pledges.
The Register says that the Wings act
ed with great forbearance in the discus.
sion, not having consumed the time of the
House by reply even to Mr.. Hoke's
three days speech, though Messrs. Boy.
den, Rayner, Gillian, Waddell, and 9th.
ers, would have been glad to speak, but
for regard TO the public interests.

our conduct as a deIiberative body, may
continue to be governed, as ] am sure

tual good feeling, and a profound regard
for the order and dignity of the House,
that our labors may be such as will pro.

of our State aud such as shall meet the

PoLrrIcs.-A calm has succeeded the great
excitement in our county, and people are think.
ing more of collecting their dues, and paying
their debts than talking of politics. It Is char
acteristic of the citizens Of our glorious Repub-
lie, that political rancow is of short duration ;
and however much parties may be excited du-
ring canvass, when the result of it is ascer-
tanned, the defeated, as well as the victors, are
restored to good humor, and settle down calm
ly to the persuits of their several avocations.
OccasionaLy,-and it affords US pleasure to
say, that it is not often the case,-party ami
mostly runs sufficiently high with some indi-
viduals, as to produce an arrangement of feel.
ing, and severance of those social ties which
previously existed between them. An should
remember that political parties are striving to
maintain the glory Of our common country,
alike and that most of their differences con-
sist in the mode of producing the same result
This fact alone, should induce every one to
keep his temper, and be willing to forgive eve
~ thing that might have been done or said to
wound his feelings. So far as we are concern.
ed, we feel, since the election, "calm as
summers mornings" and are more in love
with the whole human family, than we for
merry were. When the time arrives, however,
when another political battle is to be fought,
we shall be found at our post, ready to sustain
our principles.

A year ago there were many crOakers amongst

we are pleased to point them to the fine stocks
Of goods which have arrived. and are daily ar
