THE PRESIDENTS TouR-Our Northern ex-
changes are filled with accounts of the visit
which the President of the United States is
now making 10 the North and East His re-
ception in the city of New York, on Friday
last, is described as being one of the most bril-
liant affairs which has ever come off in
that city. Upwards Of twenty thousand peo-
pie received him on the battery, and the whole
East River was literally covered with ships,
brigs, schooners and boats of all descriptions,
decorated in their " Sunday rags" as the sal.
lor's say, in honor of the occasion. Mr. Polk
visits Boston, and we have no doubt but his
reception there will be equally worthy the
Chief Magistrate of this great Republic.

od-We are really very much pleased to see
our friends in Fayetteville moving in matter
which to them, to us, and indeed, to the whole
State of North Carolina, is one of such deep
ly interesting nature We allude to the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Canal. The construction of
this work would, indeed, be great and glo-
rious achievement, as we'll for Wilmington as
for Fayetteville. 1t would open thorough
fare II the board for one of the richest ag-
rlcuitural regions on the face of the earth
There is now no calculating the amount of
valuable products which such work would
bring to Fayetteville, and consequently to
Wilmington. Let any one look at the map Of
Western North Carolina, and he must be at
once convinced that this is one of the most
important and benifcent schemes which has
ever been projected in any State or by any
community. Why, the whole region OF coun-
try through which the Yadkin River flows is
now comparatively, we may say totally, des-
titute of any means of transporting the pro-
ducts of her rich soil to market The con-
struction of this work would furnish these
means. We do hope and trust that our Fay
ettevilIe friends will be able to accomplish the
work. They have our best wishes for their

Ozone of the most important effects of the re-
cent progress of Science is the alliance of Chem
stry with Physiology, by which new and unex-
pected light has been thrown upon the vital pro-
cesses Of animals. For this indebted chief
ly to the German and French chemists. We have
now clear understanding of the different action
of ailments. poisons, and remedial agents, and the
long derded theory of the FLOOD being the portion
of the system upon which the latter should act. is
now a demonstrated truth.-,The great object,
therefore, is to ascertain what remedy will act
most directly upon the constituents Of the blood
when in the act of combination. Experience, OBJ
servation, and cloud of witnesses, establish the
the fact that SANDS SARSAPARILLA is at
the very head of this class. Cancer, scrofua, salt
rheum. erysipelas, leprosy, ringworm, mercurial
diseases, euppuration of the glands. swelling of
the joints. and all diseases of the muscles and it's
sues, together with general debility of the system,
yield to this unfaling purifier of the bood-for
the blood is the channel through which disease
finds its way to the various organs of the Body.

THE " PROVISO."

The Fayetteville Observer continues to harp
upon the vote of a large number OF the demo-
cratic members of the House of Representa-
tves for the proviso appended to the resolu-
tons OF thanks &c, to Gen. Taylor. We had
thought that the Observer had more sense and
discretion, than to continue the waste of its
time and paper with the discussion of mat
ter of which it can make neither credit for it.
self, nor profit for its party, On the first page
OF to-day's Journal, will be found an article
which puts the whole matter in its true light,
and to the careful perusal of which we COM
mend the Observer, as well as our readers
For ourself, we have no fears as to the amount
of capital which the Observer can make out
of the affair. In the first place, Gen Mckay
and the other democrats did not vote for any
censure of Gen. Taylor, when they voted for
for this proviso. Their vote and the proviso
simply meant this At the time OF the captu-
lation of Monterey, opinions were very var
rant as to the policy and the propriety of the
terms which Gen. Taylor granted the garrison
of Monterey. The Observer knows this as
we'll as we do He knows that many in the
Army, well as many here at home, did not
exactly understand why it was that Gen. Tay-
Tor permitted the Mexicans to march out of
the city, not only with the honors Of war, but
actually with all their small arms and some six
or eight pieces of artillery, whereas many then
supposed he could and ought to have COM
PEELED them 10 surrender at discretion. We
say that this was the opinion entertained and
expressed by many persons of both political
parties throughout the United States. For
our own part, we then though that Gen. Tay-
lor was much better Judge of what was
right and proper to be done on that occasion,
than those who were not present, and who
were not cognizant of all the circumstances
which surrounded him, and we so expressed
pinion. But, then, this is no reason why, if
we were called upon TO vote Gen. Taylor a
resolution of thanks, we should not deem ii
| right and proper to say that we did not, by
that resolution, blindly, and without knowing
the whole of the facts, endorse. uncondition-
ally, the terms OF that capitulation. For oul
own part, we see no Sin or improperly in the
pr viso We ask the Observer if it has really
come to this, that Gen. Taylor has reached
such high pitch, and such an eminence a.
bove his fellow-citizens, that the representa-
tives Of the American people, in Congress as
sembled, must not dare to refuse blind en-
dorsement of his every act, without subjecting
themselves to the charge of committing NOR
tai SIM We hope not. But where is thu

in it. But do lie: us ask the Cbserter for {
clear definition of the crime which Gen Nc
Kay and others committed, when they votee
for the proviso in question. We want to know
where the gist of the charge lies

THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENcER AND NORTH
CAROLINA RAIL RoADs.--Several times within
the last year, the National Intelligencer has
taken occasion to notice Rail Road matters in
North Carolina or, rather we would say, a
Rail Road matter in North Carolina. We al
ways find that paper, however, lending the
force ofits countenance and aid to the Metro
poIitan route. Indeed, it speaks Of that route
as if there was no other one ever thought of
in this part of the world. We are at loss to
divine the reasons why the Intelhgencer
should take this course. Does that paper not
know that there is another far more likely to
go into operation than the Metropolitan route?
Does the Editor of the Intelligencer not know
that the most vigorous, and thus far by far the
most successful, efforts are being made to sup
ply the Connecting Link through this very
town of Wilmington?
In the Intelligencer of the goth ult, we find
a paragraph strongly recommending the "Ral-
eigh & Fayetteville" route, and never once
alluding to the Wilmington & Manchester
scheme We are inclined to think that influ-
ences, which we do not here care to speak of,
(emanating from the "City of Oaks,") have
induced the Intelligencer TO take this one-sided
course. We would think that fair play, in
matters of such business character rs build
ing Rail Road, would induce the Intelligent
Ger to take less one-sided view of this mat
ter, so important to US of this region of North
Carolina
