The Wilmington Journal Of the Sod irsl, says.
Gen. M'Rac has seen, and Endorsed its state
ments in regard to Dir. GlahsIn's opposition 10
this section, (meaning the Cape Fear) and the
General knows personally what he stated at the
Webster meeting"
Now we shall not attempt TO hthom the depth
Of Gen. MRae's knowledge, but re happen to
know something likewise; and we beg pardon
OF our neighbol Of The Journal, If he should find
himself compelled 10 be enlightcJ upon matters
dear to Cape Fear interests, by one who is nei-
iher Pierce man. nor follower of the ai,oags
consistent Editor u the Commercial.
IL Is new feature in politics generally, that
the Pre- ident Of corporation should bring for
ward IFS interests to weigh in great national
election But passing this by, we confidently as
sert that Mr.. Graham has done more for the VIII
mingion Rail Road than Gen. MRae ever did.
The Journals Of 1886 win show and prove.
that MIR. Graham, as chairman of select com
mittee, introduced a hill to aid the internal inn
piovements Of the State, by which ssa000e was
subscribed, and paid by the Stale, in It's stock of
the Wilmington Rail Road Company, without
which Subscription the Road would probably ne
yer have gone twenty-five miles from Whining
ton.
He introduced, and carried through, bill to
recharter the Bank 81 Cape Fear, and double its
capital stock.
As a Senator If the United States, he procur-
ed an appropriation to buld the present Custom
House at Wilmington.
We might give other particulars in lis con-
nection with the affairs Of the State and National
Governments, disproving these allegations of the
journal, but We deem these sufficient.
II does seem strange, however. that Gen. M.Rae
has heen thus ta'dy in cvincing his very appa-
rent hostility TO Mr.. Graham He supported him
twice. for Governor, If we mistake not and sus-
tanned all his views with regard 10 internal inn
provements in the State.
Why he is thus, at this hale hour, enlightened
TO The grievances expcrencr,l 10y himself and the
Cape Fear district, al the hands Of MI. Graham.
i will remain for thesGeneral at some future
time TO explain; for nobody eIss can.
