Mr.. Haywooti's speech.

On the 4th and 5th of this month, Mr. Hay
wood, our Senator, made speech on the Ore
gon question, which at the time created con-
siderable breeze of excitemen: in Washington,
and which still continues to be largely COM
mented on by the press of the United States.
MIR. Haywood requested the editors of the
Washington papers not to publish their re-
ports of the speech, as they might be imPer-
feet, and as he was preparing it himself for
publication. Thus, although the speech was
delivered nearly month ago, it was on YES
terday that we saw for the first time an du-
horized copy in the National lntelligencer.
We have read it through calmly and dispas-
sionately, and in saying that it is one of the
most ingenious productions which it has been
our fortune to peruse, we are doing only jus
lice TO the impression it has made upon oul
mind. Well indeed may ithave produced ar
extraordinary excitement in the Senate cham
Der. 1t rebrkes in style somewhat too point
ed and safdonic, the ultraism of the Western
members of that body-the true friends o
Oregon" as Mr.. H. calls them. lnthe main
we agree with the sentiments of MIR. Hay
wood. We are for the settlement of the ques
ton peaceably and honorabIy by compromise
We have long before this speech of Mr.
Haywood's was delivered, given it as on
settled opinion that Mr.. Polk would settle thu
question in a spirit of compromise should al
opportunity to do so present itself. There arr
some portions Of this speech of Mr.. Hay
woods, however, to which we cannot give
our unqualified assent. Of them we shall
speak in our next number, when we shall pre-
sent the speech itself. or at least portion o
it, as our limits will permit.

Present British Free Trade Pol


Our readers will remember that some time
ago, we adveIted to the fact, that the tenden.
cy of popular sentiment throughout the civil
lied world was favorable to free trade. That
in England particularly, the greatest CONNER
cial nation in the world, and up to this period
the most undertaking in her devotion to the
doctrines of protection for projections sake,
great and irresistible revolution had taken
place in the public sentiment Of the nation on
This subject. We have now before Us the
Liverpool European Times Of the 4tll instant,
containing the great debate upon the corn
laws, which occupied the English House OF
Commons during almost the whole of the
month of February. This debate, although
the main question involved was the modifca'
ton of the corn laws, was not confined to
this subject alone. 1t took wide range, and
the an,igonis,ical principles of free trade on
the one hand, and restrictions on the other,
were discussed at length. We have read the
long and able speech of the English minister,
in defence Of the ministerial measure for the
modification of the corn laws during the next
three years, and for their total repeal al
the end of that period. 1t is one ofthe ables,
arguments which we have ever read. We wish
our limits would permit US to publish it. A,
the close of, the debate, which took place a,
| three O'CLOCK on the morning Of the 26th Of
last month, the division which took place Civ.
ing to the minister a majority of 81, showed
clearly, thatth days of monopoly in Eng
land are numbered. Would it not be singu.
lar if the United States, whose boast is tina,
she is the freet, the most liberal, and the
most enlightened nation in the world, should
be outstripped in this great free trade move
ment by the old aristocratic monarchies o.
Europe? England, in short time will ad.
nit the products of our soil, and of our indus.
try unrestrictedly. Will we then continue
to levy an almost prohibitory duty upon those
articles which she sends to cur shores fo
sale! Articles too which we want, and with
out which, we cannot well get along, and al
this simply and solely for the purpose of Dol
STEERING up the fortunes Of a few hundred man
facturers in the New England States. At ,
period when the nations Of the old world ar.
adopting liberal commercial policy, shall
the United States be found the last in IN,
great race Of improvements We hope not

that JAMES B. SHEPARD, Esq.

nation. This nomination hos been made by
the Committee after due advisement and dellb-

ONLY to express our high qualification that the
banner of the good old cause has been COM
mitted into such safe and able hands. 1t will
be seen, by Mr.. Shepard's appointments. in
another column. that he will canvass the Stale;
and we predict that he will arouse the party
and kndle fame Of enthusiasm wherever he

We intend to speak plainly in the follow
ing remarks, we care not who is pleased or
who is offended. During the last two weeks,
a Bill has been before the House Of Repre-
sentatives for appropriating sums of money
out of the Treasury of the United States, for
the purpose of improving Harbors, Rivers,
Canals, &C.; in a word, for constructing works
of internal improvement in the several States
of the Union. This Bill is called the Riv-
er & Harbor Bill" We say ithas been under
discussion. 1t is now the law of the land, so
far as the action Of the House of Representa-
tves can make it so. On this day week, the
final vote was taken on this Bill, when the
result was found to be 100 yeas, and 80 nays.
This Bill appropriates nearly million and a
half of Dollars for the purposes above alluded
to. Having always been of the opinion that
Congress has no power to construct works of
Internal Improvement, and having always
believed that this was one of the cardinal.
fundamental principles Of the Republican par
| ty, we watched, with no little anxiety and
surprise, the course which this Bill was Ia
king in the House. We must confess we
were surprised and mortified to see men call
ing themselves Democrats-men who profess
to subscribe to the declaration of principles
put forth by the Delegates of the Democratic
party, who met in Convention at Baltimore
I'VE say we were surprised to see such men
advocating the doctrine Of internal improve.

New HarnDsIlire Election.

From the Boston Statesman of the 2lst in
slant, we gather the following intelligence
with regard to the recent Election in New
Hampshire.
We received by Cheney's express from the
editors a copy of Hills N. H. Patriot for to-
day. lt'recapituIates the votes Of the entire
state. except six small places, which together
cast but about 900 votes. In GIT towns,

Others, 80
Majority against Williams, 1858
In the six towns 10 come in the democratic
majority was last year 81. SO that the ma
jorily against the democrats cannot exceed
tloelve hundred. Steele's democratic majority
last year was 1893. In plurality of TWEEN
TY-sEvEN THOUSAND there remain dignity and
responsibility.

shall have two members more from the Coos,

different from the "thirty" majority claimed
by the wings.
To the senate, democrats are elected from

Tuesday, March 18th, 1876.
GENTLEMEN Your letter informing me Of
my nomination as the democratic candidate
for Governor of North Carolina, has been re-
ceived. In January last when in Newbern,
received letter from friend requesting me
to accept such nomination. To that request
returned a prompt and decided negative; on
two occasions subsequent Gas some of the
Committee we'll know) ] desired that my
name might not be connected in any manner
with the distinguished Office of Governor: but
being since privately and publicly called on
and now urgently solicited (by the Committee
appointed by the late convention to act for the
party) to become the standard bearer of our
principles, cannot longer hesitate. / accept
therefore, the nomination so cordially and po-
litely rendered, and shall use every exertion TO
defeat the policy and measures of the Federal
party.
1t is entirely unnecessary at this time TO
mention my views on any subject Of State or
National interests, as they may be familiar 70
every section Of the Commonwealth. With
zeal, activity, and energy, we can and will be
triumphant; and here permit me TO congratn-
late the Democracy upon the success of all the
leading measures Of the administration. The
admission of Texas into our glorious Union
and the adjustment Of the Tariff, upon equita-
BILE principles. during the present session Of
Congress. cannot fail to rebound to the honor
of the Democratic party. On the currency,
the controversy concerning Oregon, and ques-
lions of State policy, and indeed all others, ]
deem it quite useless now to expatiate, be.
cause they will be examined at length in my
discussions before the people. With senti'
ments of high regard and esteem,
