the Raleigh district, gave his views in speech
delivered in the House on the 18th inst, on
the Oregon question. Mr.. Dobbin is the on
y member from North Carolina who has as
yet spoken on this subject, and we have been
looking with some anxiety for the stand which
our representatives would take on the L" no-
tlce" question. We have read Mr.. Dobbn's
remarks with extreme pleasure, and we shall
present them 10 our readers in our next weeks
paper. Mr.. Dcbbin goes Tor giving the twelve
months notice to England land takes the ground
that such course is the only one if we desire
to preserve peace. Mr.. Dobbin is one of the
youngest men in the House, and this is his
first essay in legislative body. His speech
was we'll received, and reflects credit on him
self and on his constituents. We hope we
shall hear his voice frequently, in our national
hall. We know him we'll. His talents are
of the first order, and we predict that he will
win for himself bright reputation amongst
the distinguished men of the country.

the heavy and incessant rain. One gentleman
told US he rode until his boots were filed with wa.

were drenchcd to the skin. Those excellent old

FOREIGN,

The arrival of the packet ship Iowa from
Havre, whence she sailed on the 18th ult.
brings dates from that port up to the day Of
sailing, and from London up to the 10th uIt
The Presidents Message had not arrived in
Eng land antecedent to the sailing of the Iowa
consequently there is little said in the British
journals about American affairs. The news
brought out by the Iowa, derives ito chief i'm
.portance from the intelIigence--rather of a
quasi nature, i, is true of the opening Of the
English ports for the, admission of foreign
grains free Of duty. On the 4th of Dec, the
London Times, the leading journal in Great
Britain, announced that the Ministry had de-
eided IN council to open the ports. The ef-
feet produced by this announcement of the
Times, is represented as being of the mos.
exciting character. The whole commercial
community was thrown into fever. The
Standard and the Herald, supposed to be the
organs of the administration, gave the state
ment of the Times fiat denial. The Times.
however, still insists that it is correct. In
some Of the papers il was stated that the Times
based~its article upon the opening of the ports,
upon information which it derived from our
Minister, Mr.. McLane. MI. McLane was
absent in Paris at the time and Mr.. Melville,
his Secretary of Legation, addressed a card to
the morning Herald, in which he contradicts
the rumor in toto. The ports, we think, will
be opened during the Spring; perhaps soon
after the meeting of Parliament. .....'
The failure of the potato crop, and the con
seqnent famine which such on event would
produce, is now understood to be much exag-
gerated. The clamor was produced princi-
pally by the spectators. The stock of po-
tatoes on hand in Ireland, on the first Of De-
cember, is estimated to he fully as large as
on the same day the year before.

To Work.

Well, brother Democrats, the Convention
has met, and our delegates, assembled from
every part of the State, have given rs leader
under whose broad pennon we are to fight
through the approaching campaign. A lead
er, too. of whom we may we'll be proud {;
whose every impulse, and whose every aspi-
ration, from boyhood up to the present mo-
ment has been directed towards the success
Of the revered principles Of our glorious de-
mocratic cause. Will we not, then, from this
day. 90 10 work with our whole hearts and
souls, in order that that pennon may wave in
triumph over our beloved State, in August
next. Never was II ere time when the de-
mocracy Of North Carolina had as good rea-
son to enter upon a campaign with bright and
buoYant hopes Of success. From one end of
the Union to the other our principles are we'll
understood, and, therefore, triumphant. The
present Administration, which we placed in
power in March last, has proved itself emf
nently worthy of the confidence which the
country has reposed in it. So thoroughly in
consonance with the views and feelings of the
American people has its course been, that the
most rabid of its political opponents have not
yet been able to discover an assalable point
in it. Every thing works well. Federalism,
so far as the ADM nistration of the General
Government is concerned, is literally defunct.
Will we not, then, make one long and strong
pull to free our own beloved old North State
from the foul incubus! We feel confident
that there is an overwhelming majority Of the
people of North Carolina who. were it not that
there are mislead by demagogues, are at heart
as good Republicans as in the land. Will we
not, then, endeavor, by every honorable means,
TO dissipate the dark clouds in which Federal
ism has for years past enshrouded our State
as with dark pail! Will we not GO TO WORK!
The last Congressional election proved be-
yond doubt that great change has taken
place in the public sentiment since August
IA, when we were beaten by only about 5000
votes. This moment, we feel confident that
the Democratic party is in the ascendant in
North Carolina. II only, then, requires us to
60 TO work between this day and August next,
to ensure great and glorious victory. Let
US, then, all enter into the campaign with the
proper spirit. Let US cheer the wavering.
Above all, let us be vigilant and perseverinq,
and success will assuredly crown our efforts.

CONGRESSIONAL.
JANUARY, l3, 1916.

SENATE.

To day the Senate was engaged in the re-
ception of motions, petitions, notices of bills,
and reports of committees. Nomatter of gen
erdI interest, however, was before the Senate
during the days session. Mr.. Allen gave no
tice that he would, on some subsequent day.
introduce joint resolution declararory of the
principle by which the United States will be
governed in regard 10 the lnterposition of for
eign powers, in the political affairs of this con-
tinent. The Senate went into executive ses-
sion for short time, and then adjourned.
In the House, the Speaker called for the
reports of the committees. The House was
engaged during the whole of its session in
the reception of reports and motions and reso-
utions, few of them of general importance.
The following resolutions of Mr.. Vinton Of
Ohio, we copy at length. They are rich and
racy in their ideas, but in our opinion, very
foolish:
amendment to the Const;tution.-Mr. Vinton.
in pursuance Of notice heretofore given, OBJ
tanned leave, and introduced the following
proposition Of amendment 10 the Constitution
of the United States. 1t was read the first
and second time, and committed to the c ON
mlttee Of the Whole on the state of the Union
Joint Resolution TO amend the Constitution OF
the United States.
ResolUed by the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentutiUes Of the United States Of america in
Congress assembled, (t,oo-thirds Of both houses
eoncurring,) That the following article be
proposed to the legislatures of the several
States as an amendment to the constitution O!
the United States, which, when ratified by
three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall become
part OF said constitution, viz:
ARTICLE. In and after the year one thou.
sand eight hundred and sixty. the people in
each State entitled to vote for members of the
House Of Representatives of the U. States
shall elect from among its citizens candidate

which election majority of all tho votes Civ.
en- shall be necessary TO choice. If, npor
the first vote in any State, no one person shall
have majority Of all the votes given, anoth
er vote shall be had, which shall be confined
to the two persons having the greatest number
of votes at the former voting; and if, upor
such second vote, the two persons voted fo
shall have an equal number of votes, the choic.
between them shall be determined by lot
The election of candidates in each State shall

The Vice President. George NJ. Dallas, in
letter which he writes to his friends in the
Third Congressional District. Virginia, de.
clining an invitation to dine with them on the
9th instant, the anniversary of the battle Of
New Orleans, holds the follwing just and
eloquent language.
"They who are encouraged to take by fierce
what We know TO be ours, or who venture on
the experiment Of threat and attack, will find
it easier to arouse than to allay Indignation
easier TO irf1ame than TO avert the search OF
vengeance. We neither desire nor mediate
the slightest departure from our peaceful poii-
cy and practices; and il is the consciousness
of this which, if we are wantonly assaulted,
will give double force and prolonged fierce
ness to every blow We aim in return. Peace
exists; peace is to be preserved as long as il
is reconciable with safety and honor; but
peace, with all its charities and genteness.
