MCBRIDE AND CROOKS.

The Greensborough Patriot, in reply to our inter-
rogatories, says:
"We understand that no bill of indictment against
Crooks and Mcbride, or either Of them, sent in
to the Grand Jury during the recent term Of Guord
Superior Court, for want of sufficient evidence to
sustain such bill But bill was in against
another mana private individual in very humble
circumstances of life-sustained by evidence similar
to that which the bill found against McB
in Forsyth county the Jury returned it not true
bill" We learn that the Judge, at the request of
the Solicitor, informed the Jury that the pamphlet,
charged in the bill was incendiary. On what ground
the Jury based their refusal to bill has
not, of course, transpired After Court over,
We informed, warrant was issued by Justice
of the Peace against this individual but he
had absconded."
The Patriot adds: "1he Standards conjecture, that
Mcbride will not abide the termination of his appeal
to the Supreme Court, is very probably cOrrect.'

President Fillmore has written letter, through
his acting Secretary of State, gentleman in Geor
gia il which he says in substance that he will see
it that the ugiiveslave law is faithfully execut
ed That is the substance of the letter. 1t is char
acterized, however, by vein of special pleading al
together unworthy the President of the United States
He says he has official proofs that the law has been
obstructed. Does he kno,U that the law is dead
letter in most of the free States1 Why does he not
call upon his Marshal in Massachusetts for report
of the facts in the Hughes case! Why does he not
remove the Marshal
The truth is, Mr.. Fillmore's feelings against
the law, and he would no doubt he glad see it re-
pealed but long it the law he intends to en-
force it, prooided he is officially informed that its
ecution is obsructed! Could he do less without
perjuring himsef1

RALEIGH.
WEDyEsDAY. NovEmBER 81. 1850.
THE LEGISLATURE.


The first week of the session has passed off quietly
and without excitement The various Committees
have been appointed. have gone 80 work, and will n
due time report to their respective Houses the results
of their labors.
A number of Bills, Resolutions, and Memorials
have been presented |; and the prospect upon the
whole is that we shall have aborious session. .
The strong and pointed Resolutions of Mr.. SheP-
ard on the Slavery question, will be found in another
column It-will also be perceived thai the two Hou-
ses have raised joint Committee of eighteen, to
whom the question of Slavery generally has been
ferred, This Committee embodies much of the ex-
Perience and talent of the two Houses, and We shall
look with deep interest to its action.
We have conversed with many members of both
parties on this vital question, and gratfed to
state THAT but one spirit seems to peryade them ALL
Our assaants of the free States have arrived at
a point where North Carolina will Stand and act, if
act finally she must The mind of her people, judg-
ing from the tone of her Representatives, is made up
She will recede no farther. We speak what we
kio'O. Let those who assailing Institutions
and tramplng on the Constitution, beware!
ELECTION OF STATE OFFICERS.
The two Houses on Saturday last elected William
Hill, Esq, the present incumbent. Secretary of State
for the ensuing two years. Mr. Hill had no regular
opposition, and received $50 votes.
Mr. Hill has occupied this Office for thirty five
forty years, having been originally elected by the
Republicans and continued ever since. He is honest,
capable, and faithful and under these circumstances
the Democrats, acting in spirit of libeality, have
thought proper to retain him. He is Wing, but if
he had been Democrat he would have been COM
PEELED to walk the plank long since. 1t is due,
however, to Mr.. Hill to say that he has, oc-
casion, taken active prominent part as Wing
partizan but that the contrary, he voted at the
late election in this County for several Democrats
The election of Comptroller and Solicitors will pro-
badly take place during the present week. That Of
the Treasurer will be postponed usual, until the
Finance Committee shall have made their report.
