MIR. sPEIGHTs REMARKS.

On Friday, the 9Th of January last, the orders
of the day were takensup in the Senate of North
Carolina to wit: Bill to alter the time of hold
ing the Superior Courts and Courts Of Pleas and
Quarter Sessions in the Second Judicial Circuit.
This bill was opposed by Messrs. SPEIGHT and
Howard, both of " hom addressed the Senate in
opposition TO its passage and it was advocated by
Messrs. Street, Carter, and Gilmer.
Mr.. SPEIGHT said that as the bill had been laid
upon the table and made the order of the day for
today nj his suggestion he felt it to be due to the
Senate that he should state the reasons that gov
erned him in making the motion. The bill now
under consideration he said he had never heard of
until few days past, and it was with view of
ascertaining as correctly as possible the feelings
of the citizens Of Lenor County in relation to the
change proposed, that he had moved to lay the
bill on the table He said he had written to several
prominent gentlemen of the county, and they were
decidedly opposed TO the change. The bill pro-
posed 10 hold two terms of the Court in the coun.
ty in the same week, and he did not think the
time allowed, sufficient for the transaction of the
business of the Court
The gentleman from Guilford had said that this
bill was gotten up by the bar, and he understood
it would be great accommodation to them. That,
said MIR. Speight, is'true. 1t l0Gs q movement
on the part Of the bar entirely without con-
suation with the people of the county he had
the honor to represent; and though he had as
much respect for the bar as any gentleman, and
was at all times anxious TO crafty them, yet in
as important change as the one sought to be
made by the present bill, he felt that the people
should be heard and consulted, and not the gentle
men of the legal profession.
The bill proposes, continued Mr.. Speight. to
allow two days MONDAY and Tuesday, Tor hold
ing the County Courts, and the Superior Courts
to commence on Wednesday of the same week !;
and he was decidedly of opinion that The people
of the county were opposed to the change. And
further, that it would not allow time enough to
transact the business. The gentleman from Gull
ford had said that if we were to judge from the
action Of the other House, the people of the coun-
ties in which the change is to be made are in fa'
vor of the bill, the members from those counties
having voted for the bill. He could assure that
gentleman that he was entirely mistaken. The
gentleman from Jones had voted against the bill !;
the gentleman from Greene voted for the bill as it
made no alteration IN his county; and the gentleman
from Lenoir was absent on a visit to his family.
In view Of all these circumstances he did hope the
Senate would not pass over his head bill, Of so
important character, without allowing the peo-
pie of Lenoir to be heard.

MASSACHUSETTS, WHIGGERY

Twin-brother to North Carolina Whiggery is
Massachusetts Whiggery The Wing Legisla'
ture of Massachusetts, has not only refused to ap.
proprate money to the Volunteers from that State
but resolution of thanks to Gen Taylor and his
brave soldiers, has been rejected by large major
ityl
AS it was in the last War SO it is in this. In
1912 Massachusetts denounced James Madison
and her leading men declared that the War with
England was unrighteous and unchristain, and
James Madison's War and now, in this War
we find the same State taking sides, in the same
reasonable spirit, with the public enemy. And
what is more to be deplored than all, we find the
Federal leaders of North Carolina following her
examplel
The Register is very fond of Growing over
Whig victories in Massachusetts. Will COM
municate the above facts to its readers2 Will il
tell the public that Massachusetts has rcftsed a
vote of thanks to Gen. Taylor2

COL. BEAMS REMARKS.

In the House of Commons of North Carolina,
on the 18th December, when the bill to abolish
jury trials in the county of Rutherford came up,
Col. BEAM of Cleaveland moved to insert in the
bill the latter county. He said he had come to
the Legislature with very large petition in favor
of abolishing jury trials in the county courts OF
Ceaveand, but he deemed it unnecessary TO trouble
the House with his petition, as the bill of the
gentleman from Rutherford would answer his Pur.
pose. if amended as he desired He said he had
thoroughly canvasscd Cleaveland county, and he
felt certain that the people Of that county we're
almost unanimously in favor of abolishing jury
trials in the county courts. He should always
endeavor to carry out the wishes of his constituents
and should therefore vote for the bil and he hoped
II would pass.
On another occasion, in the Commons when
the bill from the Senate to repeal the act incorpo-
rating the town of Shelby was under consideration,
COL BEAM said that he had in his possession two
petitions-one in favor of The repeal signed by one
hundred and sixty persons, and another against it,
signed by about twenty and that Of the two
petitions the signers in the town of Shelby were
nearly equally divided. He said he made this
statement to the House that gentlemen might vote
unders,andingly on the bill but he knew there
was large majority in the county of Cleaveland
in favor Of repeating the act. He should there
fore vote for the bill.

Nacal Stores For the information of those of
our readers who may be interested in the matter,
we will state that the late act Of the Legislature re-
guating the weight and size Of the barrel Of Tur-
pentine, is as follows: Each barrel Of Scf Tur-
pentine is to weigh $50 lbs gross, and each barrel
of Scrape Turprntine 240 lbs. gross. The Soft TO
have twelve, and the Scrnpe ten, good hoops around
each barrel. The slaves to be thirty inches
long, of the usual thickness. The law will 60
into operation on the first day Of June next. We
understand that the law has been framed with a
view of bringing, as nearly possible, the weight
of the barrel to correspond with the weight requr-
ed in New York, and also to make it general law
throughout this State. We think upon the whole
it will work WELL once it gets into operation, for
every maker Of Turpentine will know at once
what he is to receive for his labor, whether his
Turpentine be hard or soft. If the barrel should
exceed the weight above stated, of course he will
get paw for all that is over. We have been in.
formed that 24O lbs of scrape is about equal to
half barrel of 2S0 lbs. of dip, and this article
generally sells for half as much the soft article
It was thought rig hit that it should be made to
respond in value; and in addition to this, there is
another material advantage 10 the maker: the
same sized b,rrel that will hold $50 lbs of dir
will conveniently hold 240 lbs. of scrape.

FAMINE IN IRELAND.

The accounts of the distress and. starvation in
Ireland are horrible A letter from ladies in
that unhappy country to the ladies in America,
appealing for help, is circulating in the papers,
and it says: "Ohl if you saw the sighlI Above
two hundred men, tattered, looking more like
skeletons than human beings, with despair on eve
ry feature, toiling on road they were making,
and not one probably having tasted food since the
day before; and in the mountain wilds, the 400
men and children peTishing by hundreds! A
mans hire for the day will hardly earn what
keeps himself alive, and though an Irishman
would give his last morsel TO his child, yet he
must keep it himself for if he perishes his family
must perish with him" It is also stated, that un-
less Ireland can obtain some extraordinary aid,
"she must soon become one vast Lazar house Of
the dying and the dead"
The poor of IreIand-and their name is le-
gion-starVing at their daily labor, in the noun
tain wilds, on the highways, on the steps of mar
BILE palaces, and in thronged cities, while the rich
OF Ireland are revcIing in luxury and ease, and
while the splendid government of England lords
over all, from the greatest nobleman to the hum
olest peasant. Disguise it as you will, England
irresponsible for all the calamies and woes of Ire
land; and if there be vengeance in Heaven for
oad and wicked governments, England is destined
10 Wlther beneath the burning curse of the Lord
Almighty. The cries of the crushed laborer, and
.ne walls of the famished women and children, and
tne blood ofthe sons of Erin worn out of them by
ne iron hoofs of despotism, 1ciH be heard, and, as
God lives, must be answered Better to die, We
sons of Erin, on the battlefield, than to starve
