MR.. MOSES, SPEECH

"a On The Bill ".To aid in the Construc
lion of the Wilmington and Manchester
Rail Road," being before the Senate.
Mr.. Moses of Clarcmont, rose and
said, That he trusted tho measure would
receive the same consideration and favor,
that had been extended to the other Rail
Road enterprises, which had preferred
their claims to Legislative decision.
They all indicated tho growing energy
of the citizens Of our State, who were
determined to elevate South Carolina to
the important position she should occupy
in a social, commercial, agricultural and
her resources shoald be more fully devel-
oped, and that the exeriions Of her people
in carrying out measlfres 10 secure that
end, should not be- paralyzed by the
frowns Of those 10 whose care was moi on.

OUR RAIL ROAD J. Il J

The Senate, on the 9th, passed a bill aiiv-
ing aid to the Wilmington and Manchester
rail road, by subscription on behalf Of the
State, in the sum Of 5000 600. Of the, State
stock of the s. C. rail road at: its. par, value
1t passed by vote Of 80 to l2. &
Tho bill also passed the house, on the
night OF tho l4th, by q vote of SO to 25, and
this after short discussion. i$,s
L Thus the encouragement of the state Is
given to this important enterprise, and THE.
it is believed, will induce assistance from
other quarters. Heretofore, it has been look.
ed upon as thing upon which tho state
frowned, and something Of the, above nature
was necessary to remove this impression. s.
This increases the amount now subscribed
othe sum ofabout Ss25,0OO, and there is now, now
not the slightest doubt, even in the minds Of its
opponents, that the road will be built. Many,
too, who were either lukewarm or opposed.
have now become advocates of the measure.
1t is due to our Senator from Claremont,
Mr.. Moses, to say, that to his strenuous, u,,.
tlring and eloquent zeal in the Senate, as tho
principal advocate OF the road, is the passage
OF this important bill 10 be attributed. This
we learn from the public prints and from pri. L.
vate sources. By the latter means, also. we
have been informed that equal merit, for ar
duons and energetic efforts ont OF the legisla-
tive halls, is given to Gen. HARLLEE, Of Ma.
rion, tho president Of thp company. 4 Major
GwYNN' the chief engineer, and Gen. BLAKE
KEY of Cheraw, also labored much in behalf
OF the road, and induced many 10 cease their
previous opposition, IS:
It is understood that Gen. G GApsDEH, presf.
dent Of the s. CIR R.. now sfayors the w.
and NJ. R. R. and will do all in his power. to
promote it's completion. 5 60. -
The route from Sumterylle to the Camden

contracts let out From that time, continued
action, action, action, we bslieye, will speed

NewaYork State.

|. The New York Herald, which the Locofocos
are fond of quoting as good authority, thus sums
up the editors view of things since the demonstra
,ioa ofthe Wing Van Burentes in favor of7Mr>
Clay s9i .6sei1
1t is conceded by all well informed politicians
in this State, whether Cass men, Van Bnren men,
or wings, that the division in the ranks Of the dem-
ocratic party must give the SO electoral votes of
New York to General Taylor To suppose the pos,
sibity of different result, we must calculate on
transfer of at least fifty thousand whig votes from
Taylor to Van Buren and. as we hare said be-
fore. twenty thousand is liberal estimate Those
barnburne-s, therefore, who atterJhemselves that
there is chance for Vap Bufen il this State. will
probably find themselves as much mistaken as
they were in I64o, when he was so badly beaten
by Harrison.
Although the force of regular nominations may
cause the Cass and Butler electoral ticket to run
even better than that Of Van Buren, and Adams,
there can be no doubt that the highest Of these
democratic tickets will fall some forty or fifty thou
sand below the Taylor and Fillmore ticket; even
if demonstration should be made by the young
ultra wings, in running a Clay electoral ticket
Such ticket, under the circumstances, would not
probably poll ten thousand votes in the State
many think not FIVE thousand !; and those would
be given principally by anti-Taylor wings, who
otherwise might vote for Van Buren,. r.

s o. The following is taken from the Jackson
(Tenn.} Wing, an able Taylor and Fillmore pa-
per. II is not improbable that Van Buren Elec-
toral Ticket will be nominated in Tennessee yet
before November. Many Of Jackson's friends
would no doubt support it,
What right have the Cassites to call upon the
friends of Gen. Jackson to vote for the hero Of
Hull's surrender! Do they not know Van Buren
was the favorite and chosen of Gen. Jackson. and
that so strong was his love for him in 1886, that
he denounced the friends of Judge White as
newborn Whigs.' because they would not love
Van tdd! Do they not know, too, that the old
General travelled about in ls40 electioneering for
Van Buren; and thatJnst before leaving the world
he wrote his wiu on politics to Mr.. Benjamin F.
Bntler of, New York. prophecying that Van Bd-
rem would be taken up by the democracy in ls4s
for the Presidency. and strange to tell the, Cass-
ties are calling oti Gen. Jackson to odenounce Van
Buren and. sustain Cass.tl If the General was a.
live, they would respect his will, and 60 for his
prediction. ae!os s. ..3<s
