DEMOCRACY IN A BAD BOX.

On Tuesday while Gov. Morehead was
addressing the People of this County,
he put the question to Mr.. IIokc, how it
happened that while he was opposed to a
u. S. Bank, VIM. p. Dobson of Surry, had
come out for one. But Mr.. Hoke was
mum. Thus it appears that where U. S.
Bank is popular the Loco Focos so for it
and where it is unpopular they go against it.

living hy ,asing hops, with little corn, beans and
potatoes; and poultry their principal stock, as
the land icing mostly pine barren, yielded little
grass. That which was cultivated was worth on.
ly IS an acre, and much OF it common, worth
nothing.
A b, and e came among them, bought hun
jred acres of land, including The falls giving $40
an acre They laid out $4,000 in building
strong dam and factory. They paid $4,000 to
the people for labor, for quarying stones, making
bricks, and putting up the factory and dam, and
$ 600 went for nails, glass, &c. They paid 81
day Tor labor and double for lumber TO what it ever
brought before. The clay and stones were before
worth nothing They paid FOR labor, as we before
said, 81, when before labor on the spot yielded on.
iy 25 cents worth of hops, potatoes, &c. and when
they went out to wo'k among farmers on better
soil they got Sl3 month.
After the factory was finished they hired all the
young men at 81 day, and the young women at
so cents. Land rose in the vicinity. so that many
got 900 for that which was not before worth 100.
