DAILY MAIL WEST.

DAILY MAIL WEST: - .'"a
The Lihcolnton Republican quotes from the Sails
bury Wachman and this paper, in relation to Daily
Mail from this point West, and adds: IS The above
meets our hearty approval and we hope that the ef.
fort will prove successful; but that the action will not
be Paral that the daily mail will stop Sails
bury, hut be- continued to the Western part of the
State, through Lincolnton, Shelby, Ru,herfordton,
Asheville, Waynesvile, franklin, on to Murphy so
that not part only, bet the whole West may share
in the benefits of mail fcilites.' ',.~- ...-
We agree with the Republican. We hope the
entire West may be permitted to participate in the
benefits of Daily Mail. Let all the Towns from
this point West take the matter in hand and press
vigorously and continually upon the Department.
Their wants in this respect, if thus made known and
pressed, must and will be noticed and supplied.
The Salem Press also notices our article on this
subject, and adds: '...
'We have petition in this place, already numer-
ously signed, for daily mail between Raleigh and
Salisbury, ard understand Messrs. Bland & Dunn
have placed similar petitions at every Post Office on
the route.'
The Asheville News also enforces the importance
Of Daily Mail West. That paper says:
We trust, also, that the proposed line will not
stop short of AshvilIe. We need such line. and
ought to hare ii. Our mail facilities half as
good as they ought TO be, and We trust the Depart
ment will not imagine that because We live in the
mountains, our people don't read, desire to hold
intercourse with all the rest of the world and I" the
balance Of mankind" We most arden,y hope that,
as soon as the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road
is completed, we shall have daily line from this
place to Greenville The distance is only 60 miles,
and the additional cost triweekly line, would
be triding. With daily line East and one South,
we could 60 on our way rejoicing. We commend
these matters to the consideration of the Post Office
Department, and "as in duty bound shall ever
pray" &C."
THE COMMERCIALS FAIRNESS.
The Wilmington Commercial charges, in sub
stance, that William o. Butler, Lewis Cass, and
Stephen A. Douglas are Freesoilers. We now defy
that paper subsartiate this CHARGE stand forth
branded before the State with having made unjust
and unfounded allegation against its political cppo-
nents.
The Commercial pre,ends to De above party, so far
the Slavery question is concerned but that paper
has peculiar way of showing its sincerity in this
respect. Itis willing to 60 for Scott, because he is
Whig, knowing at the same time that Scott is hand
and glove with Seward, and has not thus far even
endorsed the fugtive-slave law; but Democrats like
Cass and Douglas, who have borne the brunt Of the
fight for years with the Fseesoiers and Abolitionsts
i, holds up as Feesoilers and unworthy of Southern
confidence OF support. Out upon such Parizan n.y.
pocrisy!
We challenged the Wing Editors Of this State, a
short time since, produce the first of their party
of the free States, among those who have been sPo-
ken of likely to. receive the nomination for the
Presidency, ,vho is not no,u, who has not been
Ffeesoiler or an abohtionis The Commercial notices
this challenge, but cannot produce the What say
the other Whig papers9 Are they dumb9
IMPROVEMENT OF TAR RIVER.
We learn that Gov. REID has appointed the follow
| ing gentlemen as Commissioners under act of AS
sembly, to superintend the contemplated improve
ments in Tar river, TO wit:
William Noraeet, Esq, of Edgecombe.
Richard H. Lewis, Esq, of Pitt
James X. Ha,,on, Esq, of Beaufort.
These gentlemen have been selected from the
Counties more Immediately interested in this improve
men, and there can be doubt to their fitness fol
tae post assigned them. We hope that much bene6
may result from the proposed improvement. ..
HUMBus. The National Union Convention, to be
held sometime in June next, in the City OF WASH
ington. W'" 1""'"o''
True. We believe Mr.. Clemens, of Alabama, ii
involved in this humbug. He will live to rue it
The national Democratic party is as good UnoI
party as any one could desire; and if Mr.. Clemens
should leave that party follow after strange gods
he must take the consequences.
The ultraisn of Cass and Douglas is indeed exc

the Register will be little more specific. Is
wrong or execrable' for a man to be " ultra - ii

Q The London News of the 18th of January, in al
8 ludine to the outrage the steamer Promelheus
San Juan, says that the British Government will ex
o press to the Cabinet at Washington, in frank an
, manly terms their regret the occurrence. and VII
e testify 10 marked their disapproba'ion OF tn
ii aggressor's conduct. The whole matter may there
l. fore be regarded as settled.
The Wilmington Commercial says that sixty.seve
10 shares of Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road stoc
were sold in that place the 2d instant. at $50 pe
share, on six months credit. This is one among tn
many gratifying evidences of the improved condito
:. and prospects of the Wilmington Road.
