THE DEMOCRACY SOUND.

"While we say this. zoe ,cilling to admit
that the Democracy in the general are sound on
the subject cfthe Compromise, and trust Ill
continue So"
This is the admission ef the Petersburg
IaieHigencer. - The Democracy in the
general are sound on the subject Of the
Compromise. A tardy justice is better
than no u>tice at all. The columns of the
Mfeigencer, for several months past. have
been devoted to the attempt to demonstrate
that the Democratic party is divided into
the two factions of the secessionists and
abolitionists-both being opposed to the
6nality Of the Compromise. The Inte!!.
gencer at last confesses its error, and verv
candidly makes reparation for its previous
injustice. by recording the admission t!la,
",he Democracy in general are sound on
the.subject ofthe Compromise. Of course
the Lateiligencer will not again claim tha,
the Whis party is the Union party, or stig
matize-the Democracy as secessionists.

NAVIGATING TIE YADKIN.
A corre<pundent from Huntsville write


under date Of April 28th, as follows:
GA boat loaded with $50 bushels corn passed
down the Yadkin River day. 1t was loaded
at Wilkesboro' and bound for Salisbury. The
boat is some 40 or so feet long, and 0 l2 feet
wide. Thus far they have proceeded without
much difficulty; 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 Hackett, and they say
they going t. make another boat and come
down again.
a Yadkin Navigation Company was in
existence many years ago. and expended
all the funds. we believe. at Beams Shoals,
to very little purpose. which. however,
does not prove conclusively that the river
cannot be made navisable at that point.
IN act to improve the Yadkin River was
passed by the Legislature Of 1946-47.
and the spirit of improvement seemed to
be up.--alas . but for a season only
when this important enterprise was again
apparently abandoned.
And now we are glad to see the citizens
Of Yadkin county moving in this matter.
Having appointed the second day uf
June next. "wednesday of Superior Court }
to meet in Convention with citizens of
adjoining counties. to take this subject
into serious consideration.
There is no doubt that the Yadkin river
can be made naviyable. aud we hope to
see it accomplished at an early day
at least. from point as far west as p"ssi-
BILE, to the intersection of the Railroad.
