No North. no South, East, West under the Con;
sttution: but sacred maintenance of the common bond
and true devotion to the common brotherhood
The above sentiment uttered By the President
elect, although having original reference to the
Union of the States and their relations towards each
other and with the Federal Government, might very
proftably be applied to matters and things within
our own State, which heaven knows has suffered
enough, and been sufficiently retarded by local and
sectional jealousies.
In the matter of Internal Improvements, this feel
ing has been most conspicuous and most hurful and
has been successfully employed by selfish Dema-
gogues to advance their personal ends OF the ex-
pense of the best interests of the State to wh's well
fare these ersons pretended the most unmeasured
devotion. But We are cheered by the hope that this
state of things is nearly at an end, better day is
about to dawn, when reckless and selfish dema-
goguery will meet with it's mcrited rebuke. and APP
peals to the East against the West, the West
against the East, be longer available stepping
stones to power when in fact, to use the language of
text in North Carolina, at least there Will be
= No North no South, no East no West" but true
feeling of State pride and true devotion to the
common interest
A little over three weeks ago our old friend Gen.
Saunders (peace to his ashes) made speech in the
House, upon bill to amend the charter of the Ra-
leigh and Castor Rail Road, in which he plunged
down upon Wilmington and certain paper in Wiz
rington-upon the people of the Cape Fear section,
and for aught we know; upon the old stream itself
said people wouldn't pay their, subscriptions to
the Central Rail Road and were bad set generally
and then the General turned to and came down upon
the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road for declaring
dividend In fact it is said that the General rippe,l
and reared cavored and shined in manner calcu.

ment to the charter of the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail
Road. providing for an immediate connection between
that Road and the North Carolina Road although
the charter of the latter provides that such connec-
nectior shall not be made until the road is compile
ted -. q: :
One reason urged by the General for such imme-
diate connection was. that he wanted tie iron for
the North Carolina Road shipped through Norfolk
"a, instead # Wilmingt=f N. Co. contending that
it could be brought cheaper that way, and of course
carried over The Seaboard & Roanoke and Raleigh
& CASTOR Railroads. instead of the Wilmington and
Raleigh under the plea that Norfolk was cheaper

But the General missed his mark-he took nothing
by his motion. The West could not be wheedled by
his attack on the East and especially the Cape Fear
section and he has been forced to back out from all
his Positions Ever since the date of his speech, he
has been in state of apology and explanation
He thinks the Wilmingtonians great people,:
convinced that the iron for the Central Road had

mington and Raleigh Company perfectly justified in
declaring dividend. and is even willing to be: or
speaking terms with the Cape Fear River. And il
is said, that after talented representative-Mr
Strange-had made very able reply to him OF
Monday of last week, in which he vinjicated tbi.

them. and proved conclusively that Wilmington wa,

the iron of the Central Road that the old Gen eral
in the warmth of his heart and the fervor of his af
fections, got up and praised Wilmington to an ex
tent beyond all claimed for her by her most arden
friends He did.
The proposed amendment to the charter of I'll,
