c. The Raleigh Register seems to be In some
trouble and doubt as to what course the whg
party ought to pursue in regard to amending the
constitution Of North Carolina!
We believe the Register has always contended
that amendments to the constitnt ion should not
be discussed by the press the people as demo-
Gratis and wings, but as North Carolinians. If
the Register was sincere, why this uneasiness
now as to what course the achig party should
pursue?
The Cause ofthe Registers trouble, as we learn
from its columns, is this:
"Some Of our brethren Of the west have
said. they will support no man for Cover
nor or any other public Office. who will
not uncondiiouohy pledge himself for an
unrestricted Convenfion. Whether this
be the general sentiment of the West. we
are unable to say. but it is evidently at
present, the determination Of many, and
they highly respectable, individuals.
Well. in the mean while, most of our
brethren of the East say. they cannot and
will not adopt such a pledge or vote for a
man who runs under such a pledge.
Now, it is evident-it is as plain. as the
son at noon day, that if This plan is persist
ed in, the Wing party will be defeated
overwhelmed, in the next State elections.
1t cannot be otherwise. and no sane man
can for moment believe that the Demo
cratic party intend following such an ex-
ample Of political suici.le-cutting itself in
twain, upon a question of State pulley.
They have already reconciled their diff
terences," &c.
In this predicament, the Register asks &c ,chat
then as aUhigs, should we do.'
We do not know what to make Of man who
first expresses a desire to lay party feeling and
| party organization aside in the discussion of
question, and then Immediately afterwards asks
what course his party ought to pursue on the
question.
tire nifty in either party the constitutional
questions; and if the Register expects it, the
editor must be deficient in sagacity, as we'll a:
| unmindful ofthe experience of the past.
The Register need not commence fretting al
| ready about the whig party being 6 defeated
! overwhelmed, in the next State elections. -
Governor Reid, if he lives and will consent tc
serve, is Just as sure to be elected next year, as
two and two make four.
.sHonesty is the best policy;" but the whig
party in North Carolina (and elsewhere) don't
know it, and never will-or at last if they know
it in theory they are strangers to it in practice.
The course of that party 10 regard to the pro-
posed amendments to the constitution, has been
shameful enough to overwhelm" any set of
men before an honest community of voters.
They have met their desert, and may now cry in
.sWhat then wings should we do:''
The advice would give you is IS be honest" !"
And if you cannot be honest sc as wings 3" be hon.
est as men, and you will then be democrats.

riou to see what cen be their calculations of success
next year is to DO greatly strengthed by the new
track between Syracuse aud Rochester, which is to
be a complete railroad, of only 30 miles long,
through Lyons, Palmyra, &c., as level a. the canal
and OF the best possible construction. This will
save "a miles in length, and save going over the
elevations at Capandaigus, Geneva, Auburn, Sc.
Next the central line is to be further improved by
Il traght road FROM Batavia to Buffalo, by which a
further saving of seven miles is made. The cen.
trail line will be thus shortened more than thirty
miles next year. The Hudson River Railroad and
the Harlem Railroad will also be in complete ope-
ration from Albany to New York, and the splendid
Hudson river steamboats, in addition.
These seven branches, each and all, thus CON-
peting with each other, will have also the whole
weight Of the improved central line, with the con-
nections from Albany to New York, against them.
Where is the hope of their business, and what win
they be worth?

The Indians are allowed to remain on the lands

The S275, 900 to be paid down, is for the purpose
of paying the expenses of the removal, and the
claims Of the Sioux traders, who have agreed
among themselves how much each shall receive.
The ceded lands will be open to settlement
'squattiDg" Immediately after the ratification of
the treaty by the United States Senate.
The agency and place Of payment, it is supposed,

The Sioux who make this treaty belong to the
Upper Minnesota bands, who receive annuities.
A council convened at Mendoza yesterday, for
the purpose Of making treaty with the lower
bands, who receive annuities under former treaties
The land to be ceded by them embraces the same
tract ofcountry as that coded by the upper Sioux,
for which they are to receive separate compen
ton; and their place Of payment will probably be
at Patterson's Rapids.
The treaty contains one capital provision, which
will create a new and happy policy in govern

lude to the provision which confers upon the Pre-
sident the power to make laws for the government
of the Sioux Indians. This grand reform in our
Indian policy has long been advocated by the de-

Just estimate of Indian character.
