WING PROSPECT IN NORTH CARROLL
NA-The following pithy declara-
tions from the Washing gton On. 'C.)
Commercial, leading whig journal
Of the ''Old North State, will proba-
bly, be read with intereB st, if not in-
struction, by those few of her politi-
clans who, like Messrs. Mangum and
Stanly, are striving to bring about
the nomination of Gen. Scott. The
journal speaks out frankly, and says:
at will lbe quite safe for politicians
we think, in making the presidential
nominations in convention, to set
North Carolina down as a gone case
for the wings, 4nless Fillmore is the
nominee for Pr esident, and Graham
for Vice President. The substitu-
ton of.some other name for Graham,
lift were not made clear that the
success Of the party required it,
might not defeat the ticket, though
it would put it in peril. But without
Fillmore, there is no prospect of sue
cess ere-with him we are confident
the State will be carfiedby thewhigs.
Ell the signs indicate that Gen,
Scott will be the nominee, and that
both before the election and after
wards North Carolina wiU be set
down as "a gone case.'-Umop.

"IIIT HIM AGAIN; HE HAS NO
FRIENDS. The Telegraph devotes
long article to the .su6jeetof South
ern Secession. That thing has been
dead long ago. South Carolina her
self manifests no disposition to re-
yiye it. Democrats and wings who
were connected with movements that
we're said to lead to it, have, we be-
lieve, concluded that the compromise
has given them all they are likely to
get, and that they will acquiesce in
final settlement Of the slavery
question. Surely our neighbor dges
not apprehend any danger to the
country from that quarter, if the com
promise be sustained; but may be he
would rather fight Secession than
"lhat other J450lr.'' One thing is
sure, he who Strikes dead man is
not apt to receive lick in return,
except it be from some of the dead
mans friends, and Secession has
none in Tennessee. We. wish We
could say as much Of politi-
cal abolitionism. The people, we
think, have no fears Of Secessionnow,
but of abolitionism they have some

kind expressions of regard that pass
SO current among whig leaders, as for
instance the friendly indications of
mutual esteem that have recently
been displayed by Messrs Mangum
and Brooks. 1t is further seen in
the dissensions, and bitter antago-
nism that have characterized every
popular assembly of the yhig party
since the agitation of the presiden-
tial question commenced. And it is
further seen in the Hmiable tone
which distinguishes the leading
presses Of the party Their growing
union is indeed of the most satisfac-
tory character. In fact the attach
ment of the two sections Of the whig
party for each other, is very much
like that of two members OF the fe-
line race, fastened together by their
caudal appendages an d suspended
across a clothes line.

Nor So!-The wings explain the
refusal Of their Congressional caucus
to endorse the compromise, on the
ground thatit was called to fix a day
for the meeting Of the National Con-
vention, and that any other business
was out of order. This is not the
case, by any means, as will be seen
the following copy ofthe call, pub

Liberty Of Speech in Paris.

4
Scarcely a day passes which doe
not reveal to the public some tokel
of the affection of Louis Napoleon
for the French people! and proof 0
his reverence for French liberty! A
few days since We, heard from thC
Jlips of on ne of our fellow citizens,
very rich testimonial of the rare viz
tues of this great patriot. The cir
cumstance was briefly as follows:
Mr.. = =, respectable and vel
known citizen of this city, a little
more than mouth ago was walking
the streets of Paris in company with
a French gentleman. The subject
of conversation turned upon politics
Our Cine ncinnatian remarked to his
friend, that he had just learned Louis
Napoleon contemplated moving from
the Elysee to the Tuilleries.
"Well, replied the Frenchman, q
do not know whether the report is
true or not, but if confirmed, | can
not help thinking the palace OF the
French Kings is rather too big a
cage for SO small birdr Y
The two friends laughed at the
joke and thought no further Of the
matter. What was their surprise
next morning, to find themselves Wis
tied by an officer, who politely re-
quested them to appear before the
the Prefect Sof Police! Knowing
pretty well the character of Louis
Napoleon's government, they did not
deem it expedient to resist, but fol-
lowed in mute astonishment,s and en-
tire ignorance of the nature of their
crime. They we're soon at the altar

Expenses Of the Government.

One of the chief causes OF com
plant against the administration Of
Mr.. Van Buren,, was its alledged ex-
travagance. The represent tations by
the whig leaders of the prohlgate
manner in which he was squanderng
the public revenue, aroused a perfect
storm of Indignation against HIM
throughout all the confines OF the
republic, and swept him from power.
The wings promised to reduce the
expenses of the Government to Its
earlier and better days" Twenty
millions of dollars was fixed as the
standard above which they would not
go. Now, a comparison Of the ex-
pendit lures while Van Buren was IN
power with the e expenses attending
the management Of the Government
at the present time, will afford an in
teresting COMMENT ary on whig prom
ises, and present in the strongest
possible light the corruptlOns and
prohigacy of that party.

ingenuity of whig journalists and
whig stumpers, created perfect pan
ic all over the country. 1t will be
borne in mind, that during this
whole time, the Government was bur-
thened with the heavy cost Of the
Seminole war. But now let us look
at the Governmental expense since
! the accession of wings to power, and
+ see to what an enormous extent they
have been swelled.
The expenses for the year ending
June, 1S49, were S46,69S,657
June, 1850, were 39,355,29S
June, 1851, we're 40,0O5,070
These facts and figures, while
they exhibit the utter insincerity of
the whig leaders in their pledges to,
reduce the national expenditures to
the lowest revenue standard, also ap-
peal loudly for the restoration of the
democratic party. Are the people
willing that the fruits Of their honest
toll shall be thus sd wandered for the
use Of the drones who infest the
treasury hive, corrupting and con-
Eliminating all who come within the
range Of their influence?
The question arises, what has
caused the expenditure of these enor-
NOUS sums? We answer, in part,
because the whig Cabinet officers
have gnawed like rats under the
treasury door, and have distracted
the money from the strong boxes
They have contrived to swlndle the
