NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN-We correct

certainty who has been elected Governor oil
North Carolina, but presume from the COM

Governor elect by about four or FIVE hundred
majority. 1t will be seen that all the counties
but Currituck and Cherokee (extreme East and
West) have been heard from, and according
TO the Standards figuring, MIR Manly would
be elected by 600 majority, if the above two
counties have voted as in IA. The vote in

The GREAT SOUTHERN MAn."-Under
this head, we find in the Charleston Courier
of Tuesday morning, an article abusing Cave
Johnson, the Postmaster General, for his
" stubborn disposition in not yielding to the
exorbitant demands of Mr.. Robinson, Presi.
dent of the Richmond and Frederick Rail
Road Company. Why does not the Courier
and other papers put this matter on the RICH,
shoulders Those of Mr. Robinson. Does
the Courier not know that that " stubborn %
man, Mr. Johnson, has been twice sustained
by the House of Representatives, by large ma.
iorities, in the course he has taken. Would
it not be better for paper of tie respectable
ty of the Courier to present the facts as they
are in this matter, than to abuse the Postmas-
Ter General without the slightest shadow of
pFoprlery' We think so. For our own part
we would wait week, rather than see one of
the departments of the government bullied by

to executive session for about half an bou

divers and sundry other sects of Northern fa-

The END OF THE SRSSFOE-I He, SLAVERY
QUESTION STILL UNsETTLED.-Well,t the first
session OF the sOth Congress has finally ad-
iou1ned, after session of eight months and
one week. 1t would be useless for US here
for we fear it would do no good-to speak as
we feel about the manner in which grave Sen
ators and the Representatives OF the people,
consume the time and money OF their conslt-
uents, day after day and week after week. IN
political wrangling and speechifying' Fully
six out of the eight months of this session have
been consumed in making speeches for /" Bum
combe." When and where will this end !!
Never, until the people take the matter IN
hand, and determine to send men as their re-
representatives. to the National Legislature who
will work-who will do the business OF the
country. Perhaps the greatest evil attendant
upon this system of political wrangling, in
which both Houses of Congress spend three
fourths of their time, is the manner in which
important business is hurried through the last
few days OF the session. For example, the
Oregon Territorial bill was not finally dispo-
sed of until Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the
very last day but one of the session. and that,

since the adoption OF the constitution, has the
perpetuity of the Union been in so much dan

mood Heaven grant that we may be mista'
ken. The North seems disposed to force up
on the South the alternative of submitting &c
her dicsation, or at once proceeding to the las

THE PRESENT A.pEcr.-The Federal party

THE PRESENT AsPECr-The Federal party
of the United States, knowing full we'll from
the experience of the past That they stood no
chance of success with any man as their can
didate who was openly and avowedly ldentl-
fed with their old principles. and knowing al
so that if they desired success they must NOM
mate some one as their champion who might
be able, from extraneous circumstances, to
create enthusiasm in their ranks, have, for this
reason. marshalled themselves under the BAN
ner of military chieftain, whose principles
for the good reason that he has none, they
fattered themselves would not trammel them
in the campaign. There is no doubt but that
the leaders of that party made the most ex-
travagant calculations upon raising storm of
wild enthusiasm by the nomination of General
Taylor, similar to that by which they elected
Harrison in 1910. This, we say, was their
calculation They did not care fig about
Gen. Taylor. There were hundreds, yea,
thousands, in their ranks, whom they knew
were far more competent for the duties of the
Presidency than Gen. Taylor. Indeed, if the
Wings proper of the Union were certain Of
having the selection of the President in their
own power. we question if the name of "Old
lack" would once cross their minds. But,
as we have said before, Gen. Taylor had ac-
quired an envable reputation as a gallant
leader in the laie war, and his principles they
thought would not hurt him. They calcula-
ted that the name of "Old lack" would evoke
the spirit of enthusiasm from one end of the
land to another What is the result Up
wards of two months have elapsed since his
nomination by the Philadelphia Convention,
and we will venture TO say that, thus far, there
never was so much apathy in the Federal
ranks. The nomination of Taylor has fallen
fat upon the country. 1t has not, in truth,
infused as much of spirit and enthusiasm into
the Federal ranks as the name of the Oft beat
on Henry Clay would have done. The Fede.
raj party has split upon the old rock. 1t has
under estimated, once more, the intelligence oil
the people of the Union. They are perfectly
willing to render to Gen. Taylor all praise fol
his military services, in proper way, but they
are not prepared TO place him in the first c'vl
station in the world, merely because he has
proved himself good soldier. Their intelli
gence revolts at the idea.

u-We find the following in the Baltimore
Sun Of Wednesday morning. The message
we will endeavor to publish in our next. In
the meantime this paragraph will give the
reader an idea of its contents -
The Message Of the President on the Oregon
BiH-We publish to-day the chief portion of the
communication made by the President of tho Uni.
ted States to the House of Representatives with
which he accompanied the announcement of the
fact that be had signed the bill providing for ter
rorial government of Oregon. The President
takes occasion to present his views in part, upon
the great question which seems likely to arise up.
| on the establishment Of government in that por.
ton Of territory acquired from Mexico by treaty
and now known as New Mexico and California
and in a manner which will not fail to attract the
attention and secure the appreciation of all the true
friends of the Union.
| The President intimates his personal recogni-
ton of the Missouri Compromise as the true basis
for the adjustment of all differences between vari
GUS sections Of the Union, in relation to the ques
ton Of slavery pertaining to the territory acqui
red from Mexico. He has unhesitatingly given
bis sanction TO the Oregon bill, because the terri
tory to which it refers does not extend south ia
the line designated in the Missouri Compromise
Had that bill embraced territory intersected by
that line, he says the question presented for nv
consideration would have been Of far different
character. and my action upon it must have cor.
responded with my convictions" In signing the
present bill, the President has acted with equal
promptness and propriety. He has been infuen.
ced by no considerations extraneous to the distinct
merits Of the question before him. The WiImot
Proviso" by its name or character was an insig.
ni6cant object in the field of contemplation, and
the single point presented for the executive action
was the signature Of bill, essential to a specific
purpose, and drawn in conformity with that spirit
of compromise which has heretofore governed the
national action in the admission of new territory
to the Union.
