Pike Township exhibited the gratifying
Increase Of some 200 votes.
AT the Convention, the friends of Shew.

that a monkey show was in Lexington,

outrage and many other names, and
said that Perry Locufocoism ought not tn

were allowed to vote, and for the sake
of harmony Colburn was alo,ocd to be
nominated. .,-.-...... q.

The number Of immigrants into the Uni.

Ifhe is worth $4,000, he viii hare to pay

In The above table, we have supposed
that the road would be completed in three
years, Should it'take fye, il will take
about one third more tax.
Now we firmly believe, and will give
our reasons, that after the road is con.
strucled not an additional dollar will be
required.
The roads Of Massachusetts,, which
cost over $40. 900 per mile, yield an av-
erage revenue of s per cent, This road
will cost not more than one third that sum,
will do large business. and must yield
at least 10 per cent-some make it even
higher Thus there will be profits sufii-
cicnt. not only to pay the interest, but
gradually the principal; aud should the
people decide to keep the stock, there
will be yearly profit, which will go far
towards meeting the ordinary county
expenses.
To all this must be added the increas
ed price Of produce, which is not aques
tion Of any doabt-the enhanced value O.
Real Estate, which is equally certain
and the general proyement ofbusiness

~, creating good, safe and certain hOm,
market, and making old Fairfield, wha
she ought to be, and can be, one of The
richest counties in the State.
! If the road costs $4,000 per mile, a
bout one half this sum win be expended
in the county. Say that there are Al
miles Of Railroad in the county, and Tho
sum Of $500, 900 will be circulated among
the people of the county.
Is il not, then, question ofgreat i'm

The SECRET ARMED EXPEDITION
The Washington Republic has letter
from its New York correspondent, which
furnishes the following reliable account
of the Erpedition which called forth the
recent Proclamation of the President of
the United States, lis.
IL have been engaged the past two
days in seeking authentic information re-
lative to the subject of the proclamation
of the President, aud believe that have
not made the effort in vain. There is
not the slightest room for doubt that a
well concerted movement has been in
progress here for some time past, and al
so az New Orleans, in order to enlist
men for an armed aud hostile expedition
against Cuba. -a}s f
81 have myself conversed with individ.
uals who were approached on;he subject
by the agents Of those engaged III the
movement in Cuba and the United States
and place all credit in their statements
From their account it appears that about
three months ago, certain PERSONS, who
are well supplied with Pecuniary means
aud are duly autharized to act for wealthy
planters in the island Of Cuba, sough
their aid on this military expedition
making the most liberal offers, aud prom
isiug the most tempting rewards in case
Of success, A great many men have
been enlisted in this city for this work
aud, had it not been for an accidental ant
unexpected failure in efecting the pur
chase of vessel. this branch of the ex
pedtion would have sailed some week
ago. 1t has not yet sailed, but hav,
reason to believe that it will leave thi
port in short time, without the posi-
bilty of detection. Another branch O
the expedition has been organized a
New Orleans, and the eremaining portion
are already encamped Oh an island in tn
gulf. e
This movement has been contempla
ted for some time. and all the preparato
ry measures have been taken with grea
deal of judgment and prudeDce. Tn
first development of the plot was made
week or two ago, in the correspondent
of one of the morning papers here, an

POSITION or SOUTH CAROLINA.

Some of our papers have been in the con-
slant habit for some time past, OF playing inc
par, orpolilcal 'ermagants towards South Car.
olina. # some should have indiscreeIly con-
nected the name of MIR. Calhoun and the Pres
idency with the southern convention, straight
way these papers, in order to deceive and de-
lrue the people, declare that the only object
IN. people of South Carolina have in view is to
make a great noise over the slavery question to
pe, MIR. Calhoun elected President. Their
reverence is for him, not for southern rights!
lmpending danger is not thought OF at all. Mr.
Cahoun's election is the great aim OF all their
hopes.
Never was there more glaring scheme OF
deception and political gambling than is thus
exhibited. We have no idea that Mr.. Calhoun
is thinking of The Presidency. So tar as south
crn rights are concerned, we have no doubt he
is determined to maintain the post of duty. We
honor him for it. We call the friends OF the
south our friends, and the enemies Of the south
our enemies in this great crisis OF her d'thcnlty
and danger. We rejoice TO know that The south
has her Calhuuns, her Mangums, her Bern.
ems and others, who defend her rights, and
cling TO her honor with answering devotion.
Some of the sons of the South talk of devotion
but act out very awkward integrity Give
us the bold, open, straight forward son who'
like the statesman, the philosopher, and the
pure citizen, John E.. Calhoun, exhibits always
"A spolIess integrity in defence Of his own land.
Such a man, whether Wing or or Democrat,
we do not give up at a time like this to South
Carolina alone. No. we claim him for the
whole South, and though greatly villitied, we
claim him for the Union.
We do sincerely declare, that we have all
along been charmed with the conming led firm
ness. moderation, and modesty which have been
displayed by the papers and people Of South
