81 Notwithstanding the extraordinary
stimulus impaired to all the commercial
and business operations of the country, by
the vast receipts of gold from California,
the great increase of bank capital, and the
general prosperity felt through the land
our manufacturing interests continue to
sink beneath the paralyzing influence of
our domestic policy. The Free Trade"
Tariff of ls46 is working the most serious
mlschiefto our home industry, while mil
hons Of specie are sent abroad to pay for
fabrics of which we have furnished the
raw material. Our workshops over the
water are thriving and prospecting. whilst
the oppressed or neglected factories in our
mldstare tottering on. through precarious
and uncertain existence, sustained only by
the "hope deferred" Of relief, through iu-
dicious legislation.
The Boston Atlas, of Saturday. states
that the following named manufacturing
companies have ascertained their losses
during the past season to be the sums put
against their respective names-making an
aggregate loss of S2l6,OO0, by six mills
only, out Of the many now in operation
throughout the country -

g1 When we see with what concen-
trated ill-wil the President is regarded
alike by the Free Soilers of the North and
the Ultraists at the South, we take it as evil
dence that he is pursuing wise, discreet
and patriotic course, which must command
the approval of moderate and union-loving
men. AT late abolition locofoco conven-
ton in Vermont, John Van Buren, spoke
Of him as follows:
Reared in Western New York, borne upward by
those whose sympa.hes all for liberty. he is Sc
cctcd as the ".hig candidate for Vice President, to
secure their suiirages. He came into the ofi-e cf
President by the death of g General Taylor. He had
ii in his power put an end to the entire slavery
agitation in twenty DAYS
But he chose to take the opposite course. to turn
his back upon the friends who had elevated him. TO
alsfy the professions of his past LIFE throw him
sell into the arms OF those who prcstituing the
government to the extension of slavery and to set
the seal OF his appreciation to law, which, in my
humble judgment, no civilized government on Garth
except our own, would now enact
AS remedy for the evils inflicted on
Free Soiiism and Democracy by the pre-
sent administration John proposes the fol-
lowing course.
''Having thus considered tie present aspect of
the slavery question: let US briefly consult as TO the
present duties Of the friends of freedom. In my
Judgment they ought to unite i1 incorporating hos
tiily to the present national administration"

The Canvas In N. Cafolina.
The lists seem to be nearly complies in
the old North State, and the canvass is
going ON with much energy on both
sides.
In the first district the candidates are
Hon. Mr.. Clingrnan Gate member) and
Col. Gather. The Raleigh Registers ad-
vices are favorable to the election of the
latter, who is battling manfully for the
Compromise and the Union.
In the second District, there is no oppo-
sition to the present excellent incumbent,
the Hon. Joseph P. Caldwell.
In the third District. the candidates are,
Hon. Alfred Dockery, Union Wing. and
Hon. Green w. Caldwell, Secession Lo-
co Foco. We feel no apprehension, says
the Register as to the result. The dan
gcrous and absurd doctrine Of which Mr..
Caldwell is the peculiar champion, will
encounter in this District the same recep-
ton which it has met with in every other
portion of our Union-loving State.
In the fourth District, James I. More.
head Union Wing is candidate, without
opposition or the probability ofany.
In the fifth District, Mr.. Venable is a
candidate for reelection.
In the sixth District, Hon. Mr.. Daniel
runs without opposition.
In the seventh District Mr.. Ashe, the
present representative, is without opposi-
ton.
In the eighth District, the Wings gath.
enng fresh resolution from the condition in
which Mr.. Washington's declension threw
them, are busily engaged in the work Of
selecting candidate.
In the ninth and last District, the Hon
David Outlaw. has no opposition.
In looking over the list Of candidates
we feel, says the Register, but single
regret. Give us opposition to Venable
and Daniel-the best that the respective
Districts will afford; for is it not the occa.
sion, when our country calls for the BEST
services of her BEST citizens land North
Carolina will send to the next Congress a
noble accession to the UNION phalanx OF
the Country.

" In looking over number of the
Richmond Dispatch, published some weeks

ago, we met with the following:
when Judge Caskie's Court adjourned on Sat
urday night, the jury engaged in the trial OF
cause, which the Judge particularly DESTROYS to
have decided on Monday morning. He took great
pains to impress upon them, the necessity Of meet
ing at 8 o'clock Notwithstanding that he would
put the law in force against them if they were not
at their post at the hour specified the judge him
self did not drrire until ten having made mistake
in the hour. When told fhis mistake, he went to
the books ard ordered the clerk to enter the full
amount of the penalty prescribed by law against
himself! This is good example, and We hope it
will be followed by the bench generally"
This, the Dispatch says, was handsome
ly done. We have full belief in the a.
bility of Judge Caskie, to do things hand
somely, but we think the Dispatch is mis-
takenin its view of this matter. There is no
penalty prescribed by law against Judge
who may fail to be in attendance at desig-
mated hour Jurors, who are absent when
needed by the Court, may be fined, for the
contempt Of court. If the Judge substitu-
ted himselffor the Jury he fined himself for
a"contempt" of himself Or if he did not SO
substitute himself, but had the fine entered as
ifincurred by himself,then he WIS acting up
on a matter in which he was personally in
terested and that, the law does not allow
The absence of the Judge is equal in eff
feet TO the absence of the whole Jury, and
all the officers of the court. Was the fine
entered, equal to fine of all these?
