rHE wEsrERNTuRNp1KE ROAD.

This is subject which is now attracting consid-
erable attention of the public in, this and all the
counties West Of u.s. Theroute which the road shall
take between the towns of Statesvlle and Morganton
is the point which greatest interest is felt: The
people of much the larger section of the country to
be benefited by the road, desire that it shall pass
near to the ownof Lenoir practicable; not only
for the reason that it will thereby accommodate the
largest number, but will secure connection with
the Caldwell and Watauga Turnpike, which is now
nearly completed, and which we believe, is designed
to penetrate the valley beyond the Mountains in the
State of Tennessee in the direction of Jonesborough
This route will secure large amount of trade from
Tennessee, and give the same direction towards
Salisbury and Fayetteville which taken in connec-
ton with the Central Rail Road and Plank Road
schemes, becomes subject of much importance not
only to the Western counties, but to the State at
large, especially when it is certain that slight de-
Walton from the by Lenor may lose to the State
all the advantages of the Watauga road and of the
Western Turnpike itself.
If the latter should, for instance from States
vile, ria Ne,otOn Morganton it is certainly calcu-
lated by those we'll acquainted with the present course
of the trade, that that trade will change its d-
rection from the South, but taking the road to Char
lotte UiG Lincolnton, will difuse itself into South
Carolina, leaving North Carolina the disagreeable
Nearly all the trade of the counties North of New
ton already takes that direction, and if the Turnpike
is not laid out with view of inviting change of
its present course, it will only flow on, just as it has
always done, cutting the Turnpike at right angles.
we trust the people of that region most interested
VIII take the proper steps to the advantages
which it designed this great work should confer
upon them and also, that the energies of the State
may not be wasted Salisbury Watchman.

cJ-The Legislature at its last session. re-
pealed what, to many, has always been al
obnoxious feature in the laws Of this State.
VIZ the act requiring thee seperatc publ
cations Of Al intention of marriage. Very
many persons dsliked to be thus publicly held
up before the world, and some, ever, were
SO much opposed to it that they went into
another State, where the laws were less pre-
else, and there had tie hymena knot secur-
ed. Olh.rs remained at home, and eyaded
the law as well as they could, without hav-
ing the clergyman endangered. The opera
ton Of this law was bad, however, as far as
the iniercss of the cletgymeE were concern
cd, nasnuch as il deprived them of pcfquis-
lies OF no inconsidcrable amount. There was
no virtue in the law and no necessity for it.
A marriage contract is liko any other busi-
ness transaction, oalv Of much more solemn
nature, yet the law does not require men To
give public notice, for specified time, Of their
intention TO enter into any other kind OF a
contract. In New York, no publication is Io-
quirod, unless it may be at the time the ccre-
mony is performed ; such is the case in Con-
necticut and consequently Stoning,on AM
ThonI son have become noted American
Grotna Green's. This will now be tdone
away with, and the young people will have
their fun at home, as the law now only re-
1uires one publication, and that to be made
in some public religious meeting. This is
decidedly an improvement, although there is
10 necessity for any publication and the next
step will be to abolish it entirely. We can
see no benefit arising from such requirement,
lecausc if any persons are joined together
other than as the Law, civil or sacred, permits.
the marriage is a nullity, and the parties
must suffer the punishment provided for the
offence. lfihere Is 10 !mpedinent TO the
union of a couple, morally or legally, we
hold that it is no ones business, for they
have a right to do as they please. "aicr arrv-
ing at manageable age,--and surely no
clergyman, Judge or Senator, who are the
only persons authorized to perform the cere-
mony, by our laws, would unite persons who
were not Of sufficient age.
