THE LEGISLATURES.


We refer to our columns to-day for sketch of the
very animated debate in the Commons on Tuesday,
which grew out of the proposition Of Mr. Sherafd of
Wayne, to repeal the charter of the North Carolina
Rail Road. The proposition was rejected by an over
wheiming majority. We did not hear the whole of
the debate. but our Reporter has endeavored to do
justice to all the gentlemen who participated in it.
On Wednesday the Hon. Robert Strange was cleo
ted Solicitor for the 5th Judicial Circuits Cad Jones'
Jr. Esq, of Orange, Solicitor for the 4th Circuit
and George s. Stevenson. Esq, of Craven, for the
2nd Circuit These all capital appointments.
Wehave spoken elsewhere of that of Judge Strange.
Mr.. Jones has been restored to the place from which
he was prescribed by the Wings, to make room for
Mr. Poindexter, who now goes out, according to the
fortunes of war; II his friends, TIE friends of
any Wing who may fail to be reelected should COM
pian let them remember that the Wing leaders prom
ised not to Democrats for opinions sake, and
then did it, just as fno such promise had been made.
Let these gentlemen, we repeat. consider of that.
a We have no doubt that both Mr.. Jones and Mr..
Stevenson will discharge their important duties in the
most aithful and creditabe manner. They are well
qualified in respect, for the posts to which they
have been called. az..i s3s eas ap 5g.1 as4j

MR.. sHEPARD,s SPEECH.

The Hon. William B. Shepard delivered most
powerful and conclusive Speech in the Senate. on
Wednesday last, on the Slavery question On all the
points embraced in his Resolutions and relation to
the course it becomes North Carolina adopt in this
emergency, he alike clear emphatic, and eloquent
He showed, by statistics and calculations, the newt
able result the slave States of the late action of
Congress circumscribing Slavery; and he denounced
the so-caled Compromise, much lauded in certain
quarters, in the strongest terms. He said that dv
sion among ourselves this question had well nigh
undone and he appealed 70 true son of forth
Carolina, without respect to party, to rally to
avert impending calamtes. He also examined Mr.
Badgers doctrine of allegiance and demonstrated its
mingled absurdty and enormity. as
1t was the Speech Of statesman.
We shall not attempt any thing like report of it,
as Mr.. Shepard has promised to write it out for the
press. .s..a-
Mr.. Shepard was listened to with profound at
tention by the Senate, and by the large audience in
attendance.
We join the Register in the wish that the present
Legislature may take 8. united stand " on the Slave
y question but that paper will scarcely produce this
union or harmony, by its ungenerous filings at Mr..
Venable or the noble State of South Carolina. The
Register can praise Mr.. Clay's submission Speech
before the members of the Kentucky Legislature, in
which he says that nothing short of the abolition by
Congress of Slavery in the States would drive him to
dissolution-that paper can endorse such sentiments
and apologize for MIR. Fillmore, but it has nothing
but misrepresentation and abuse for some of the
most gallant and patriotic defenders of Southern
rights. We hoped at time that the Register was
coming mp to the mark this question but it falls
back often it comes up, and plays many tunes
on this subject as there are days in the year. What
is that paper for! Is it against every thing advoca
ted by Mr.. Venabe, and for every thing advocated by
Messrs Kerr and Miller1 ....ea

The Register is welcome to all the credit it may
gain even among its party friends, by its coarse
and uncalled-for attacks on Gen. Saunders. That
gentleman is above its shafts of attempted
ridicue. We shall not ask the Register to do him
Justice or to cease its attacks. As of his friends,
we care little about eher and sure he attaches
as slight importance to justice withheld or to at

This distinguished Apostle of Temperance spent
the greater part of last week in Wilmington, where
he won the esteem and regard of all classes of our
citizens Kind, amiable and unpresuming in his
manners no one could look upon his benevolent coun-
tenance without feeling of his sincerity
and disinterestedness He disclaims all interference
with the question of slavery or indeed, with any 9TH
err domestic institution; and feel confident that
any feelings of prejudice or misgiving that might
have existed in this community. have been removed
by his visit He administered the pledge to a good
many persons here, perhaps as many as hundred
or over.
Father MATHEW is gentleman of about SO or 60
years of age rather above the middle size, his hair
rather grey, though not white, by any means He is
now laboring under the effects of attack OF paray
sis, which slightly impedes his utterance without
however, abating the kindliness of his manner. We
hope that soourn in Southern climate may have
the effect of restoring him to health
While here he was the guest of the Rev. Mr. MUIR
PLY, of the Catholic Church We need not add that
he the object of attention and interest among all
classes of citizens although sedulousy avoiding
every thing like display
