The projected Hsaii Road.

We publish in this weeks paper, long and
able communication on the subject of the con.
nexion OF this town, by Rail Road communi-
cation, with the South Carolina Rail Road, at
some point. We also copy from the Charles
ton papers the proceedings of meeting held
at Marion Court-H ouse, which was called for
the consideration, ofthe same subject. Per-
haps we ought to ask pardon of our readers
for devoting So much space in our'columns to
Rail Road matters. But at time like the
present, when every thing depends upon
prompt action, we think the people of this
section of the State will not think the agitation
of the question malapropos.
We notice from the Raleigh and Fayette-
vile papers, that meetings have been held in
both those places. for the purpose of concert
ing measures for the continuance of the Raj
eigh and CASTOR Road through to Camden
The people on the upper route. will move
heaven and earth to push that work through.
Surely, then. every man in Wilmington and
the surrounding country, ought to feel deep
interest in the extension of our Road. For it is
certain, beyond shadow of doubt, that the pros
perity of Wilmington is matter of the very
first moment with those in the surrounding
country, who trade here.

CONGRESS.

I'd the Senate, on last Friday, the land grad
uatlon bill passed its third reading. This bill was
brought into the House on the same day, where
upon Mr. Netherlands bill on the same subject
was laid aside, and the Senate bill taken up. The
debate on Saturday last, and on Monday, too. was
one of the fiercest struggles which has taken place
ON the floors of Congress. At last accounts, the
fate of the bill was still pending. We think there
is no doubt of its passage i'll some shape There
seems to be disposition on the part of-both Hou-
ses TO put the public land policy upon new and
permanent basis. On Monday last, the Tariff Bill
was taken up in the Senate, when Mr.. Lewis. of
Alabama, made one of the abIest speeches which
has been delivered this session, in support of the
measure. AS we read the debate, we felt still more
confident of its success in the upper chamber
Ger. Mckay gave notice in the House. on Satur-
day last, Of his intention to call up the treasury
note bill on Monday. Both Houses of Congress
seem to be inclined to get through with the bust
ness of the country speedily possible, SO that
we may expect large amount of legislation to be
performed during the next four weeks. On Mon-
day last, the ware-housng bill passed Its third and
last reading in the Senate. We do hope this mea-
sure will be consummated by the House os Repre-
sentatives. We hope by our next, we will be able
to announce to our readers that the new Tariff
Bill is the law of the land.

WING MEETIaG IN BRUNSWICK.

We'll, we scarcely know whether to laugh at
the proceedings of the Wing meeting which took
place at Rowel's Store, in Brunswick County, on
the 4th inst or to feel mortified. at seeing men so
blinded by party prejudice and partizan violence,
as to make them forget what they owe to them
selves as citizens Of North Carolina.
The ostensibc object Of the meeting, we sup
pose, was to bring out opposition to Rob't Z Mel
vin hut judging from the length and bombast of
the preamble to the resolutions adopted, we think
50 much space in the columns of the last Chroni-
Gle, must have got it up for the purpos; Of disgor-
glng some of the superintendent gas, generated by
the heat of July sun. But what earth do
these Wings of Brunswick mean, by calling the
Mexican " unholy" one! Did they know
when they used this expression how closely they
were following the language adopted by the Fed
erasts in the Hartford Convention Of 1912 !
Again, what on earth do the Wings of Brunswick
mean by the following sentence!
"The disgracing the nation by the abominable
doctrine OF reputation, refusing to pay honest
debts of their own contracting"
When has Mr.. Folks administration repudiated
any of its hcnest debts of its own contracting ~
Surely, the writer of this famous preamble must
have been dreaming; or he must have calculated
largely upon the ignorance of those for whom he
wrote.
We believe, on reflection, we are disposed to
laugh at the whole affair. Mr.. Melvin don't you
feel scared! We trust the Chronicle, containing
the proceedings Of the aforesaid meeting may be
studiously kept out Of Mr. Mevin's sight 1t
might kill him This hot weather; he would certain
" die " a larfin'."

The Tarisf Bill I'm the SENATE,

Every one is anxious to know what the fate
of the Tariff will be in the Senate. For our
own part, we think it is safe. We feel conf.
dent that it will pass that body, not, it's true,
by large majority. There are 81 simon pure
Wings in the Senate. Add TO this number
tho names of Cameron and Sturgeon, the
Pennsylvania Senators, who, although Dem
ocrats, will doubtless vote against the House
Bill; and the names of Niles, of Connecticut,
also Democrat, but who. 1t is supposed. from
his vote on the reference, is hostile 10 the mea.
sure, and of Cilley, of New Hampshire
Surprising all these to vote against the mea-
sure, there would be tie-,29 for and % a.

upon the vote of the Vice President. Geo. Nj.
Dallas, who, we feel confident, would, with
out hesitation, do his duty, and vote for the
bill. Wethink that BerIen, of Georgia, cam

OsnslOw County.

The regular Democratic candidates in Ons-i
low County are, for the Senate, VIM. Fer
rand for the House of Commons, Harvey
Cox, and for the Sherifalty. White d. Hum
pEirey. This ticket, we had been led to be-
lieve, from intercourse with many of the clti-i
zens of Onslow County, was such one as
met the views and the feelings of the whole
party. To-day "Wednesday We have been
informed that such is not the case, and that
Edward Sanders, who represented the Coun-
ty in the last Legislature in the House of
Commons, has declared himself candidate
for seat in the next Senate. in opposition to
Mr.. Ferrand. Of course we do not know
what motives Mr.. Sanders can have for thus
attempting to distract the party. We learn
that he has declared his hostility to the indie
pendent Treasury, one of the leading measures
of the Republican party and one, too, above
all others. upon which theEeis no difference of
opinion among Democrats. Why, a divorce
of the General Government from all barking
corporations has been. for years, the rallying
the Union to another. At the Baltimore Con.
vention which nominated Mr.. Polk, if there
was one principle moro distinctly put forward
than another, it was the Independent Treasu-
~. We cannot, to save us, see what Mr..
Sanders is aiming at. The Democrats of
Onslow County, who, through all circumstan-I
ces, are noted for their fidelity TO principle,
cannot certainly vote for or support a man
who has turned his back npon one of the very
first measures of the Republican party. We
have no doubt of Mr.. Ferrand's election; but
stilLwe cannot but deplore anything like dis
traction in our ranks.
Let the Democrats Of Onslow County, pull
together like patriots, and shew the Wings
that they cannot distract them. Let them e.
lect their whole regular ticket, Sheriff and all,
by such large and triumphant majority as
will put all such factious opposition to rest
forever. LIE! them remember how the Wings
Of Onslow claimed Mr.. Wards election in
August, Al, as Wing triumph. We say.
lei them remember this, and prevent its recur-
fence again. Before the election, they, no
doubt, will say, that the election of Sheriff
ought not to be put upon party grounds, but
no sooner have they elected their man, through
the good nature and crednFity of the Demo.
cratic party, than they Immediately turn round
and claim Wing victory.
Ferrand is noble whoIe-souled Democrat,
and deserves large vote at the hands Of the
Democratic party in Onslow. They have
known him from his childhood. He has al
ways been the same. Indeed, the whole reg
uIar ticket is good one, and We appeal to the
people of OnsIow (the Democrats of Onslow,
we mean,) to rally around it. We want good
and true men in office. In union and harmo-
ny is our only safety. We shall expect to
hear good accounts from our friends in Ons-
low

During last winter, a Convention composed
of Delegates from almost all the Western and
Southern States, assembled at Memphis, Ten
nessee, for the purpose of taking into conside-
ration the best means of improving the navi-
CATION of the Mississippi river. This Con-
vention drew up memorial, addressed to the
Congress of the United States, and which
called upon that body TO make appropriations
for the clearing out of the Mississippi. This
memorial was referred in the Senate to Sc.
lect Committee, of which John G. Calhoun
was made Chairman, who has made long
and elab crate report upon the subject. Mr..
Calhoun says the improvement of the Missis-
sippi is not only within the legitimate powers
of the General Government, but that it is the
duty of Congress to make such appropriations
as will clear its channel and ensure its safe
navigation. At the same time, MI. Calhoun
denies that the Federal Government has any
right to make appropriations to clear out riv-
or which washes the shores of hut one or fuUo
States. The report enters fully into the ex-
animation of the powers Of the General Gov
erument on the much nooted question of In
ternal Improvement, and denies that any such
power is given to Congress by the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Calhoun says that the power TO
appropriate money for the Improvement of the
Mississippi, is to be found in that section of
the constitution which. authorizes Congress
"to regulate commerce with foreign nations
and among the several States" and. that the
Mississippi river comes within the meaning of
This phrase, equally with the Atlantic coast. For
this vast river washes the shores of seventeen
or eighteen States and Territories, and that it
is not in the power of individuals to clear out
the distractions TO its free navigation; nor
can the States federate together for this pur-
pose, for they are expressly prohibited from
so doing by the constitution. htherefore fol-
lows that the power rests with Congress; for
it is clear. says the report, that it must res,
somewhere. The report is long and an able
one. and demonstrates that the great statesman
of the South has lost nothing of his wonted
vigor Of intellect.
