smiles would illumine the BLACKLIST of crowd

subscribed two bushels of wheat. When the

The Anti-Improvement Party.

Politics, like poverty, make strange bed
fellows. The Democracy of the West and
Northwest unite with the Democracy of the
South in crushing the iron and coal interests
of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, and
the woollen and cotton interests Of New York
and New England. The Democracy Of the
East unites with that Of the South in crippling
the improvements of the West. The Augusta
Agc denounces all further grants of land, in aid
of western roads, as being little less than rob-
berry of the public treasury; and its views are
endorsed by our Democratic neighbor of the
Pennsyluanian. The anti-improvement party
having the entire control of both Houses Of
Congress, we fear that the furnaces of Penn
sylvania will continue to be blown out for want
Of the power to sell iron, while the roads of the
West will continue unmade for want Of the
power to buyit.

Governor Quit,n.n.

We publish in another column the proclama-
ton of Governor QUITMAN, issued on the Sd in
slant to the people Of Mississippi, informing them
Of the resignation of the office of Chief Executive
Of the State, preparatory to submitting himself
to answer to an indictment found against him, in
the eastern district of Louisiana, for an alleged
violation of the law, in aiding and abetting a
military expedition against the Island of Cuba.
1t is obvious enough that the fact of his being
Governor of Mississippi does not exonerate him
from his obligations to obey the laws, and we
are glad to see that he has accommodated him.
self to what he declares to be the plain and
clear duty of citizen. A grand jury of the
country having found an indictment against
him, there was no dispensing power to exempt
him from the consequences. The Governor Of
a Commonwealth, like its hnmblest citizen, is
amenable to the law. q
Governor QUITSrAN denies that he has been
guilty Of any infraction of the law. We hope
that it may be so decided by the tribunal be-
fore which he has appeared.
That he has substantially complied with his
clear and plain duty as citizen, in obeying
the law, we cannot but consider, for the pre-
sent, as sufficient palliaton Of the ill-grace
of his proclamation.

II the Senate docs not pass the bill noD before
that body, II s TO DO hoped the President will put
the construction the law which the House
(whcre it originated) intended; that s confcrring
upon the old soldier the privilege of scing the
rant as soon as 1t ia obtained. We have made con-
siderable inquiry in relation to this matter and find
those entitled to bounty lands unanimous in favor
Of the explanatory BILL which it seems The Senate
intends defeating. The land was given to them
bounty; and, as not one in hundred Of them will
occupy it, why not let them dispose Of II as they
pleasel II is mistaken notion, that the present
construction of the law prevents tho old soldier
from being prcyed upon by speculators. They can
not get much for their lands, by at least twenty
per cent, as they can for their warrants.

the above paragraph, is laboring under mis-
apprehension, we believe, with regard to the
intentions of the Senate touching the Bounty

to the bill in the Senate as yet, we understand,

GREENvILLE, (S. CO. Feb. IL, 1856

Granville, Is. Co. Feb. IL, 1851.
To the Editor Of the Republic:
The election for members Of the State con-
vention in South Carolina is just over, and in
Greenville district has resulted in favor Of the
Union ticket by vote of eleven hundred to
five hundred. The candidates on the Dis
union ticket had to declare against secession by
separate State action, and avow themselves to
be in favor of a southern congress.
The vote throughout the State will be avery
small one, and shows that the people take very
little interest in the question now before them.
In several of the districts the Secession ticket
will be defeated. If the election had been post
poned till October, there would have been
great change in public sentiment. Indeed, a
strong reaction has already commenced.

North CAriollns.

We desire," says the Raleigh North
Carolina) Times, s'to call the attention of our
readers to the fact that no resolutions, of any
kind, calculated to produce agitation, or antago-
nistical towards the Compromise measures of
the last Congress, or fanatical on the subject of
slavery, could be got through the Legislature of
North Carolina. Secession and disunion were
signally defeated and the general feeling of
our people in favor of peace and union triumphed
over all the efforts of Locofocracy to make po-
litical capital out of the troubles of the country
''It is true they had their Joint Select Negro
Committee, and said committee made majority
and minority reports, and submitted volumi-
nous resolutions on the theory of our Govern
ment, its rights and powers, and the rights and
powers of the several States, and the tremen-
dous crisis on hand, and the grave and fearful
responsibility of North Carolina, and her duty
in the premises; but when all these mighty
and high-sounding documents were sent abroad
and examined by the people, the popular voice
breathed upon them, and they vanished away
like the dew of the morning; and, like the
smoke, they had no continuing and abiding
place.
"Be it known, therefore, that North Caro-
lima stands by the Compromise and by the
Union, and rebukes alike fanaticism, secession,
and treason.o

tits, we believe, generally known to our
readers that the editor of the Democratic Re-
cie,c, and politico economical contributor to the
league. They can, therefore, appreciate the
pleasure with which we hail any evidence Of
awakening consciousness Of error in the support
he has thus far given TO the doctrines of the
late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. WALKER,
with whom the highest evidence of prosperity
was to be found in the increasing necessity for
feeling in distant markets for outlets for the
produce Of the land. esiH
An article on "The Future Of the South !" in
the last number of De Bosc's Commercial Re-
viesc. just received, is from the pen of our
Democratic" contemporary, and in il we find
him taking the true ground of the necessity for
making market on the land for its products.
Such has always been the doctrine of the WING
party; and to accomplish that object it sought to
give to the farmers and planters Of the country
that protection which was needed against the
system which looked to monopolizing the ma
chinery Of manufactures, and thus compelling
all the nations of the world to make their ex-
changes in the single market of Britain, there
by giving her the power to fix the prices of all
she desired to buy and all she required to sell
II was clear to them that it was better that the
artisan should at once come to the food and the
raw materials, rather than continue forever TO
send the bulky food and materials to the loom
or the hammer; and that such was the course
that would give the largest amount Of cloth or
iron in return to labor. Such is the now ex
pressed opinion of our contemporary, as will be
seen by the following extract:
The republic., 1851-02-18

Mob Triumph In Boston.

II will be seen, by an article in another
column, that the city of Boston has been dis
graced by conflict between her civil authori-
ties and negro mob, in which the latter were
victorious. A prisoner has been rescued from
the custody Of the law by an organized force Of
blacks
We have received telegraphic despatch
from Boston which informs us that this dis
graceful affair is to be attributed to want of
efficiency on the part Of the deputy marshal,
to gross neglect on the part Of the civil autho-
rites, and to the sudden movement of a large
and organized negro mob. We also learn that
Mr.. +. III. WRIGHT, the late editor of the
Abolition Chronotype, and now we believe one
OF the editors Of the Free-soil Commonwealth,
with Mr.. c. g. DAVIS, who is ssjustice of
the peace" and a lawyer, have been arrested and
placed under heavy bonds for their participa-
ton in the rescue.
We refrain from particular comment OH this
affair until we shall receive the details, which
were published yesterday in the Boston papers,
due here this morning.
If any thing can bring the people Of Massa-
chusetts to their senses on the negro question it
will be the infinite humiliation and disgrace of
seeing mob of blacks overpowering the civil
authorities of their capital, under the eyes of
Legislature which has been on the point Of
sending special representative of this very
negro mob to the Senate Of the United States.
