The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1850-04-03

that none Of these subscribers were present, but
Il was believed that their subscriptions would
soon he realized. and ought to b ecounied and re-
lied on. Considering this to be true, there re-
manned deficiency Of $4,000, which must DO
supplied to raise the sum Of s. 900 900 required
bsfcss the commencement Of the work. That st
the recent Convention in Marlborough the whole
amount Of stock had been agreed 10 be subscrib-
cd; and the deficiencies was oecasioned by the
failure Of the Petersburg Railroad company TO
meet their subscription Of sac. 600. and Of sub
scribers in Guilford and Davidson TO pay in the
FIVE per cent. on about e40. 900 agreed to be tn
ken IN those counties. How much Of ths last
may b yet realized is uncertain. But the Peters,
burg Company alledge that on examination Of
their charter they discover that they have no au-
thority to subscribe for stock in this Company.
and nothing may be expected from them.
We understand that the General Commission
erA in pursuance Of the power and duty imposed
on them by the act Of Assembly, have directed
the Books of subscription to DO again opened
forthwith, to raise the deficiency above stated and
kept open until the LIST Of May, by which time il
10 hoped the whole amount Of stock will be taken,
and the stockholders convened 10 the month of
June.
Whatever disappointment there may be that
the whole sum was not found to be already tax en-
no one can new doubt that the inconsiderable ba
lance required will be subscribed, and the benefits
Of this great improvement secured to the people
Of the state.
Mr.. Stanly's Speech.-We said in our
last, that when Mr.. stanlys speech came to hand
we might feel ii duty to publish it. The result
is according to our anticipation and we place be-
fore our readers the rrt portion Of il to-day. The
editsr Of the North Carolinian says that the
speech. as published by himself is q quite difls-
rent from the speech as reported By the letter
priters." The " outrageous language and anti
southern dcnunciations," which those letter wri-
tiers delighted to dwell upon are not in it, and the
editor is disappointed. There is nothing in it
which convicts him Of being an aholitionist,"
traitor to tho South" &c, epithets which tho
Democratic editors and their correspondents so
plentifuly bestowed upon him; the editor is pleas
ed 10 think, therefore, that he must have rc-writ-
ten his speech, and changed and modified it."
Whether the editor Of the North Carolinian was
simple enough to believe such a suggestion, or
was only endeavoring to relieve himself from the
odium Of representing the speech in SO different
character from that in which it afterwards appear
ed, we shall leave for his own consideration. We
suppose he will endeavor 10 quiet his conscience
by dividing the responsibility with those who
were involved with him in the guilt of the misrep-
rcsentation.
But these Locofoco attacks upon Mr.. Stanly
have produced no other effect than to awaken
lively curiosity to see the speech. The people
will not condemn him unheard /; and we place the
speech before eur readers that they may have an
opportunity of forming correct Judgment 1t
was delivered in the House Of Representatives, but
was intended more especially for his constituents
at home, the people ofNorth Carolina. After pc
rusing it, we think our readers will agree with
us in the opinion that the Republic, in the ex-
preston we quoted last week, did not say too
much of il. It's warm and animating language,
and the plain and striking expositions Of the sub
iects Of which he treats, cannot fail to excite
deep interest, and will INSURE for the speech an
attentive perusal. a.
