One or two other persons made some remarks, after
which the meeting adjourned and the crowd shortly after
dispersed without having made attempt to tear up the
track.
An enthusiastic lad about eight years Of age without
sbos hat coat or vest, called for crowbar, that he
might take out rail. We believe heweyer, he did not
succeed in obtaining crowbar, and consequently the
track had not been disturbed at 10 oclock.

The Raleigh Star states that Mr.. Bragg has taken
ground in his speech in the West, in favor of the
right of State to secede from the Union when she
chooses" Now, we undertake to say there is not
man in North Carolina who holds such a doctrine :;
and the allegation that Mr.. Bragg holds it. carries
the lie upon its front.
Mr.. Bragg no doubt believes as Mr. Webster de-
clared, that if the Constitution should be palpaby
broken by the dominant majority, the States in the
minority would be thereby released, and would be
free to establish a new Confederacy not as they
might choose; but one believes that a State has
the right, under other circumstances than those re-
ferred to, or unless the danger is other
wise unavoidable and faught with ruin to secede and
erect new forms for future government What would
the Editor of the Star do if Congress should repeal
the fugtvesave law, abolish the internal trade
and refuse admission to slaveholding State2 Why,
he would still submit and beg, and believe Gen.
Dockery, the Register, and many other Federalists
would do the same. That is our opinion, formed
upon knowledge of their past conduct.
The article of the Star containing this charge a.
ganst Mr. Bragg is headed as follows: "Showing
the coven foot!-changing his grounds as he goes
West Mr.. Bragg advocating Secession!l" We
brand this article false from beginning to end 1t
was intended to deceive but then it is just what
might have been expected from Editor who pub
lished letter purporting to be from the Editor of
this paper, which he never wrote, and who, when
he was exposed, resorted to mean abuse and slang
instead of apologizing and begging pardon for his
conduct, as he should have done.
Mr.. Bragg is State Rights Republican. The
Editor of the Star is not-Gen. Dockery is not. The
Freesoil Wings of the North would assall Mr. Bragg
just the Star is assailing him. if they taking
active personal part in this contest; and their
shouts of joy the election of Gen. Dockery, #
such an event should unfortunately occur, would be
as loud and as long as those of the Editor of that
paper.

~ The very heavy rain here on Friday last
did serious injury to the Central Railroad and to the
Branch Road of the Castor Railroad. The embank-
ment of the Raleigh and CASTOR Road near where it
joins the Central Road gave way under the unusual
pressure of water; and the embankment of the Cen
trail Road, nearly opposite also gave way, and part
of the centre of the track fell in. The embankment
of the Central Road just below the Depot also yield
ed to a considerable extent to the food. There
culverts each of these points, but it is apparent
they were not large enough to let off the water.
This, added to the nature of soil, has occasioned
these losses. 1t will require considerable labor to
repair them.
