NAVIGATION OF THE YADKIN.


We copy the following from the Salem Press; and
we join the Press in the hope that the Yadkn may be
rendered navigable at early day:
"NAvIGATING THE YADKIN. correspondent from
Huntsville writes under date of April 2sth, fol-
lows:
"a boat loaded with $50 bushels corn passed
down the Yadkin River to-day. 1t loaded at
Wilksboro' and bound for Salisbury. The boat is
40 SO feet long, and 10 IL feet wide. Thus
far they have proceeded without much difculty the
only place where they were troubled at the Bean
Shoals, some Is miles North of Huntsville. The
Boat was the property of Alexander and James Hack
e and they say they going to make another boat
and come down again."
A Yadkin Navigation Company was in existence
many years ago, and expended all the funds, be-
lieve, at Rean's Shoals, to very little purpose
which, however, does not prove concusivey that the
river cannot be made navigable at that point. An
to improve the Yadkin River was passed by the Leg
islature of ls46-47, and the spirit of improvement
seemed to be uP,-alas but for a season only
when this important enterprise was again apparently
abandoned.
And are glad TO see the citizens of Yadkin
county moving in this mater,-having appointed the
second day of June next, "wednesday of Superior
Court to meet in Convention with citizens of join
ing counties, to take this subject into serious conside
ration.
There is doubt that the Yadkin river can be
made navgable, and we hope to see it accomplished,
at an early day-at least from point far west
possible, to the intersection of the Railroad

SCOTT AND SEWARD.

We copy the following items from the Washington
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun, a neutral pa
per:
"A conference.-the will soon be published the
manifesto of the Southern Wing members who left
the Congressional Wing Caucus lately held at the
capitol and attempt will be made in this counter
manifesto, to prove that Gen. Scott is good
promise manas Mr.. Fillmore, or Mr.. Webster, or Mr..
anybody else.
Gen. Scott, it is believed, will, after all, col
out with compromise letter, with view of securing
the South. The decided opposition of the Native
Americans in Pennsylvania, and of the order of the
United Americans in New York, have had the in
fuence to soften the Gems rigor. and Mr.. Seward
himself is said to have expressed himself in favor of
few discreet lines, to do away with certain prejudi
that might exist in the minds only of South
ern Wings. but in the Wing Union men of the North
itself Though declaration in favor of the compro-
mise might not add to the bona Jfde voters OF Gen.
Scott in the North, the fact cannot be denied that it
would place the commissariat of that army in an
cornparaby superior position, which is ali important

will be selected by the Baltimore Convention In which
be satisfactory all We ready to waive all pre-
ferences for men, and only ask that Candidates may
be selected whose opinions are known or will be
made known without reserve, and who are honest,
capable and faithful the Constitution in all of its

JUST RIGHT. -.

The Greensborough Patriot, one of the organs of
the advocates of an open Convention, and known to
be against the present basis of representation in the
Legislature, is satisfied with the action Of the late
Wing Contention the subject. That paper says:
"Those who shared with in anxious forebod-
ings for the results of the Convention, will share
our satisfaction in perusing the proceedings. The
large majority OF delegates was from the Eastern por-
tion of the State, where, from previous Indications
we had to look for little mag nanmity questions of
State reform yet have they distinctly and formally
recognized the Reform Convention issue in the can
vass for Governor. Though all is not done that we
could wish.-quite as much has been done as we
could expect. The great principle for which we have
contended-the right and power and propriey of the
people to exercise full primary control their
fundamental laws-has been recognized with en-
phatie disnctness which puts the matter at ease so
far as the Wings of the State are concerned. The
principle being established, we have fear of prac-
tical results. The people of North Carolina at
progressive, yet conservative point of their political
history, WHERE have full faith, they will manage
the question of constitutional reform just right"
The :" principle" having been recognized, says the
Patriot, "we have no fear of practical results ~
Those "practical results are be. of course, an
open Convention, change of the basis, and the es-
adjustment of the principle of free white population
as against taxation and federal population. In the
mean time Equal Suffrage treated with silent contempt
by the late Wing Covention is to be suspended until
such time this open Convention can be called

We now, in the name of the people, call upon the
three Wing organs in this place-the Register, the
Star, and the Times-to answer the>following ques-
tons, and invite public attention to the they
may fit to pursue. If they have answers to make
to these questions we should like to know what they
are; but if silent, or if they should evade resort
to special pleading, shall conclude, as the people
will, that another attempt is to be made to humbug
and deceive the honest voters of the State.
The Convention which nominated Mr.. Kerr took
ground in favor of submitting it to the people to say
whether they will have Convention to amend the
Constitution. Mr. Kerr is of the people, and as
Candidate for Governor, is the representative Of
many people: Is he for or against a Conuentton2
The question of Equal Suffrage will come up in
the next Assembly, for a two-thirds vote: Is Mr..
