The Governors SPECIAL MEssAGE.-A Democrat
c friend furnishes the following comments upon the
special message which the Governor recently sent to
Semi-weekly:
Numerous bills for railroad charters and others
amendatory charters heretofore granted pend
ing before the Legislature, in which contained
provision. for the sale of corporation bonds at unm-
tied rates Of interest and discount and for the issue
of bonds of small denomination fifty dollars
in any form the company may see it and with other
provisions equally obnoxious. 1t that the
word of caution which Governor Wright has given
to the Senate is we'll timed, and is loudly demanded
to check the prevalent tendency towards investing
companies with unlimited powers. Such powers ex
ercsed by unskillful or impruden agents might have
the worst effects upon the prosperity Of our public
works. and upon those of our citizens who are direct
ly interested in their stocks. If, however, proper
heed is given to the judcious suggestions of this
message. the apprehended danger may be averted
and all interests promoted. We know that the mes.
sage is prompted by no unfriendly feeling toward,
these enterprises for feel assured that has
their prosperity heart, than the Governor bu
he regards the proposed notifications essential tC
safety. This is made evident by the fact that the
Governor has abstaned from vetong the bill in CUES
ton from consideration for the interests already in
vuyed in the work but has, at the same time, giver
to the Senate his opinions in frank. manly and per
| spcuous manner. We that the message
will be widely read, and that the better judgment o
the great of the people will approve the souns
aud statesmanlike views it contains"

OErThe following article is from the pen Of q
gentleman, who, for many years, has been one OF the
most active and influential political writers in the
country. 1t discusses question of paramount ma
tional Importance at the present moment; and the
views which it presents. we think will be admitted
to be Just by all candid and rejecting men.
This article is worthy Of the attention of those
members of Congress who have recently proclaimed
themselves Disunionists. There Is comparatively
fewer AboltiOnists in Indiana, than in any other
free State; yet the sentiments expressed by this
writer will be afirmatyely responded to by nine
tenths of our people.

CoRREcTIONs.-On comparing our copy OF the Pre-

following Is what he did say:

and seek TO maintain our cherished relations Of amy

Mechanics, Meeting.

Agreeably to previous notice, the Mechanics Of
Wilmington held meeting at the Masonic Hall on
Friday night last Some how or other, the proceed
ings of the meeting have not been published We
take the following account of the meeting from yes
terday's Commercial. It will be seen that it ad-
journed till this evening, to receive the report
of the committee of six:
On the 2lst inst. large and respectable assem-
blage of Mechanics met at Masonic Hall, in pursu-
ance of invitation through the public press. The
meeting was organized by calling John "A. Taylor,
Esq, to the Chair, and appointing Mr. D. c. Hagarty.
Secretary. The Chairman made some appropriate
remarks, bearing the mechanic character but
dsayowed any knowledge as to the precise objects to
be effected the present occasion. Others address
ed the meeting speaking in strong terms of the de-
graduation to which white mechanics are subjected
by being brought in competition with black labor
particularly with free eolored mechanics and slaves
hiring their time, and setting up contractors
The object of the meeting becoming unequivocal, a
communication from the Mechanics Association of
Washington, asking the cooperation of similar So
ceties in elevating the mechanic character of the
State, was read-whereupon, the whole matter was
referred to Committee of six to report at an ad-
journed meeting, to be held at Masonic Hall on Fri
day evening next, 28th inst. A PRACTICAL.

The Conventions and the two SaHus""tes'
On the week before last, two Conyentions-the
Democrats and the Galphins assembled IN the City
of Raleigh, for the purpose of nominating Guberna-
torial candidates. to be supported by their respective
parties. Party usage compelled the Galphins to
take up the present incumbent who had not sufficient
delicacy to withdraw his name from the canvass
He was forced upon the party, and they swallowed
the bitter pill with what grace they could and then
the inmitable Charley" came in and made them a
speech and such a speech! So distinguished by
high-toned courtesy and statesman-like refinement
for instance the concluding sentence of the ninth
paragraph printed, which runs thus:
eff there had been found among the people Old Sodom

the Centre verify that Loco Foeo would have
been destroyed
Thus was this sentence spoken, and spoken before

Magistrate of the State In the printed copy, the
words 80 old wicked substituted for loco foco
but no man in Raleigh, Wing Democrat, pretends
to deny that Gov. MANLY actually spoke of the loco
foco town of Sodom. This is but specimen of the
beauties of that q inimtable'' production, of which
we will furnish more in our next.
The Democrats were placed in different position.
