JOHNSTON "ALL RIGHT ~

One of the soundest and most intelligent Dem
ocrats in Johnston County, has written after
having heard from the discussion at Johnson's in
that county, on Tuesday last. Our friend says:
"a Wing of this place stated this morning that
Mr.. Venabe said, in a conversation with him, that
he did not expect to be elected but was determined
to beat Lewis, and that he kuew Rogers would be
elected. also learn that he spoke very contemptu.

game as he has tried to play of. do not know OF

We learn that Mr.. Venable was extremely bit

ard. He was here on Wednesday last and we
learn amended his licks" on u.s. We did moi
see the gentleman. He talks of our former whig
gery-"log cabinsm," &C., and pronounces the
Standard "drty, lying sheet" The Standard
has done more than all others to elevate this mar
and make something of him; and this is tn.
manner in which he snaps, and snarls, and spit
his venom on one who was-so long as he adher
ed to principle-his truest and most steadfas
friend. But for the Standard, John Kerr woult
have beaten him for Congress; we stood by hin
then, and subsequently, because he stood on prin
ciple, and we heard nothing from hina-thougl
we did occasionally from Federalists- about ou

fall but we can smile at his abuse and bitterness:
The gentleman keeps us in delightful alterna
ton between smiles and tears.

ID. A. Paschall. Esq, in a manner highly suitable
and impressive, Gen. McCIanahan presented to the
audience John A. Williams, Esq, the orator Of the
day. The beauty and symmetry of the effort could
only be equalled BY the fervor and patriotic enthus

" regret see your District in such unfortunate
condition, and unless the is pursued that you

of the strongest Democratic Districts will be rep

this unsettled the Democrats in his old District and
to him from Democrats (; when, had he been re

Your District will have TO hold its present position
for years, and you may rest assured that if Mr..
Venable is elected he will every produce dissat

NORTH CAROLINA ROAD.

We learn that the late meeting of the stockhold-
ers at Salisbury was large, and that the occasion
was quite interesting and exciting. The Resolu-
ton in favor Of accepting the amended charter
passed by the last Legislature, produced warm
and animated discussion. 1t was advocated by
Messrs. Barringer, Boyden, Avery, and Morehead,
and opposed by Judges Ellis and Saunders and
10y Gen. Leach. 1t was rejected by Mge ma
joritv. The opposition was not to admitting the
State to be represented, nor to the vote proposed
nor to the other amendments as proposed, but to
the scale of voting amongst the stockholders and
to its practical injustice The vote Of rejection, we
learn, was reconsidcred by common consent and
postponed to future meeting.
We learn there was quite full vote in the cleo
ton of Directors. On the first ballot Messrs. Fries
Hill, and Davis were elected, and on the second
ballot Gov Morehcad received a sma majority

held and several ballotings were had for President

had very beneficial effect on the growing crops. We

never more promising and if storm comes to cot
