WIVES AND SLAVES

We publish today, from the Democratic Re-
view, most interesting and original Essay, to
which we invite the attention of the reader. The
proposition of the writer seems at the first blush
to be absurd, but he sustans it as he progresses,
and fixes upon the mind the undeniable fact, that
the wives of Christian husbands are as much
slaves, so far as privation of rights is concerned
as the negroes of the utmost South We have al
ways regarded many of the provisions in our laws
in regard to the rights of married women, as un.
just and harsh-as illiberal and tyrannical as the
powerloving founders ofthe common Law, whom,
to our deep discredit, we have too implicitly fol-
lowed even in our own enact ments But this is
not the point of the writer, nor do we propose to
dwell upon it. The parallel he draws between
what the slave IS and what the wife might be, is
both striking and complete, and it is commended
by its truthfulness to Northern fanatics We have
only to add the hope that the article to which at
tention is invited. may not cause "rebellion {"
among the married ladies'. s - '.-'s'

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURES

Whiggery is every where the same, in its f.,
tiousness and in its inordinate love of powo, I.
has just been playing in the Senate of Tennes,e.
the same game it played in our Senate last Session
The Senate Of Tennessee, which convened a sv
days since, is composed of thirteen democrats oDl
twelve Wings. The democrats selected NJ,
Gardner as their candidate for Speaker, and ba
Wings selected Mr.. Maury as theirs. When
the roll was called and the name OF Mr.. GarjDp,
reached, he followed the usage and declined 10
vote. When Mr.. Maury's name was called, he
cast his cote for some other aOhig Senator At
subsequent stage of the balloting, Mr. Gardner
voted more than once for Mr.. Maury, but The
latter gentleman declined to interchange the com.
pliment, and voted for some oth,r whig Thus
they were balloting 1873 times, when Mr.. Gard.
ner rose, and in an eloquent speech nominated
Mr.. Watterson, democrat, for speaker, and on The
l38th ballot he was elected, Mr.. Bradbury, whg
voting for him. Truly, Whiggery is the same

RAIL ROAD TO CAMDEN.

We perceive from communication in late
Charleston Courier, that the Commissioners have
opened books of subscriptions to continue The
South Carolina Rail Road to Camden, distance
of forty miles. The amount required to be sub
scribed is not to exceed 8 100000, to consist Of
1000 shares, on which is to be paid SIS per
share, as called for, with the privilege, when The
second inslalment is called for, Of paying up the
whole amount and taking a certificate of stock, in
which they,will be entitled to dividend with the
old stockholders, from the date of such payment,
and become full co-partners in the whole South
Carolina Rail Road, but,not of the Bank. The
correspondent says there is no branch Of the Road
that will afford so great an income as this branch
TO Camden, and he alludes to the importance 10
South Carolina of the trade Of MccklCnburg, Ca.
barrus, and other sections Of North Carolina. A
late Courier contains statement showing an IN
crease in the receipts Of the South Carolina Rail
Road Of S123,333 within little more than three
years. This, too is exclusive of the mail con-
tracts and the profits of the Bank The Charles,
ton Evening News says there can be no dOult
that the Camden Road will be completed. Ought

NEXT GOVERNOR, &C.

Our friends in Mecklenburg and Union seem
ito be moving in earnest for the contemplated Dem
ocratic State Convention. We publish today the
proceedings of Meeting in Union, and we see
by Ahe last Jeffsrsoni. N that a meeting of the
democrats of Mccklenburg is called at Charlotte
on the 2sth instant to appoint Delegates to State
Convention. We copy the following from the
Jeffersonian, with the remark that we are not
welded to any particular day, and that we shall
certainly be content with the 9Th of January, pro-
vided the party generally are throughout the State
aOn our first page, the reader will find two
articles from the Standard, on the subject of q
State Convention to nominate candidate for Gov
ernor. We.cntirely agree with both the Editor
and his Correspondent, except as to the timo
named by the Standard for holding the ConVen-
ton. The 9Th of january would not conflict
with the Spring Superior Courts and thus prevent
many of our leading friends from attending it.
And it will be seen that our friends in Union, at
their meeting last week, selected the 9th as their
favorite day. But if our friends elsewhere, think
it important, later day can be fixed upon But
while our friends in Union agree with our sug-
gestion as to the time of holding the Convention,
they throw overheard our other suggestion, that
no nomination of candidates be made in the County
meetings Well, so be it. That's matter the
people nave IiSn 10 uldHdSC US Ihcy pIedSc.
"There is in the last Wilmington Journal, a
capital article on the subject of the next Govern
or's election. The Editor is in favor of Conven.
ton, but thinks the 9th of january too early day
We shall copy the article in our next and, in the
mean time would say that should our friends
throughout the State think the 9Th of January too
early day for calling Convention together, let
them fix upon later day" < g.
We repeat. we are not disposed to insist upon
any particular day, and later point than the 9Th
of January was suggested only because we con-
sidered it. for many reasons, the best time for the
assembling Of fair and full Convention, and for
acting in its results the most avorably on the
people generally. We are in the daily receipt ol
letters from various points, and most OF them fix
upon the 9th of January In our next we shall
announce the result of these communications, and
of such conferences as may be had among our
friends generally. ..s

Really, we should like to know the grounds oil
this unusual clemency. We can reasonably sup
posed case of pardon for such an offence, where
the Executive is convinced of the innocence OIL
the condemned but a respite, without cause
publicly given, is not calculated, in our OPINION
to be productive Of good to the community. We
may be mistaken, but we think the Governor was
bound by just regard for the public sensibille''
as well as for himself, to make public bis rea'
sons for so unusual an act
These reasons were no doubt satisfactory 10 The
Executive, as they would in all probability be to his
constituents; and, without finding fault with 'ha'
distinguished officer, we would beg leave respect
fully to remind him, that the crime of which this
boy was convicted is an infamous one, and thai
any postponement of the day Of execution, wlhOO!
cause given, is calculated to arrest the attention oil

In pursuance of public notice, large number
of the Democrats of Union County, met at the
Courthouse in Monroe on Tuesday the 7thiin-
stant, to take some measures for organizing a
State Convention to nominate Democratic can
didate for Governor. AMOS STEVENS Esq, was
called to the Chair, and JOHN E. AUSTIN was
appointed Secretary. Upon a call from the
Chair, WILLIAM F. DAVIDSON, Esq, of Char
Iotte rose and explained, in very effective man
ner the objects Of the meeting. He also said that
many persons present might feel surprised on see
ing him rise to address a Democratic meeting.
He then explained his reasons for quitting the
wings and joining the Democrats, in a very pow
erful strain, and concluded by offering the fol-
lowing: s..
Whereas. tits important to the welfare Of our
party that some suitable man should be selected
as the candidate of the Democracy at the next Au-
gust election, and that general organization for
that election be speedily entered into and, a
State Convention is the best mode for effecting
these objects, therefore ...
Resolred, That we recommend the assembling
a State Convention AT the City Of Raleigh, on the
9Th day Of January next, to effect a perfect eFgani
zation Of The Democratic party, and nominate a
candidate for Governor, and that the Chairman OF
this meeting appoint 10 Delegates to attend said
Convention on the part of this County.
The Chair appointed Robert Lemmonds, Esq,
Col T. G. Wilson, s. P. Stewart, J. G. Blair, Mar

ResolUed, That our Democratic brethren in the
other counties Of this State invited to respond
to our move, and push forward measures for re-

Uses of the Telegraph. A correspondent sug.
gests to the Morning News a valuable purpose
that may be attained by the Magnetic Telegraph,
thus: .... .. ....... .---.-, -. x.
"There is one use to which the Magnetic Tele-
graph may be put on our Atlantic coast that have
where seen mentioned-it is in telling US of the
approach of northeast storms. 1t is well known
that they commence in Philadelphia often some
hours soonerthan here, and farther south-at Bal
timore, Washington or Norfolk-still earlier; and
here before they commence in Boston. Now,
word could be sent ahead Of any hurricane OF
Storm from station to station, and thus prevent the
loss of many richly laden vessel: For, instead
of leaving port only to beat against the wind, or
get on lee shore, they could remain securely
moored at the wharf until the storm is over Not
only may&he merchant and mariner be benefited,
but all classes, especially theefarmer, who might
be notified of the approach of northeast storm,
a considerable extent of country and thus, in
harvest time, save thousands OF dollars worth of
hay and grain Why, am not sure but that We
shall see the time when we will look at the news
papers for the latest magnetic intelligence, so as to
know whether to take out umbrelles along with us
or not. Yours, &c. ]. c."
