F0REsHADOWING

The following Resolution was introduced by Rufus
Barringer and passed at Wing meeting lately held
in Cabarrus
/" Resolced That we respect true Democracy, but
are opposed to locofocoism in all it's forms and pha-
ses whether called by the name OF Secession, Abo-
Iition, Fibusterism, Intervention, Young America,
Womans Rights, or old Fogyism.
This is certainly beautiful specimen of Mr.. Bar
ringers taste and indicates what the Democrats may
expect of some Wings in the approaching contest
Some men are always striving to pull others down
to their own level 1t is upon this principle alone
that we can account for Mr.. Barringers attempted
hit at the democratc party.

SEIZURE OF THE BLACK WARRIOR.
It appears that the steamer Black Warrior has
been seized by the Spanish authorities at Havana
and her cargo confscated. The reason assigned for
this by the authorities is that the in transit

of manifest she had always used, and which was
never questioned before.
The subject is properly engaging the attention of
Congress. On Friday Mr.. Philips of Alabama intro

Mesrs Ramsey and Carmick in remonsanee protest
was incorporated in the Postmaster Generals annual
port communicated TO Congress. And yet strange
10 say with all the wrong and outrage of Messrs Ramsey
and Carmick staring them in the face Congress so
obivious of right and unmindfu of duty stand
stock still and do nothing for the relief of those muchn-
jued individuals The Postmaster General of course
the wicked who has done all this He first committed
a gross wrong and then cozened those weak simple
hearted youths called senators and representatives, to
look on with placid indifference What wicked man,
and what of mischief Postmaster General
be
But to be serious we have two questions to put
to the New York Herald which, it may be- its clients
Messrs Ramsey and Carmiek, may in advance of
the mail We wish to know
Fns Whether the grant of certain transit privileges
through Mexico, from Vera Cruz Acapulco, which
enimed by Messrs Ramsey and Camiek, have not been
forfeited because of the nonperoaee Of the conditions
of the grant,
Second Whether there is any probability that Mexico
will give any further extension of time the grantees
enable them to comply with these conditions? 1--WE un-
derstand there have been extensions already)
Third Whether there is any application pending for
waiver of the forfeiture of the grant by the Mexican gov
eminent
Fourth Whether there is any grant of transit priv
leges through Mexico forming line of communication to
and from the Pacific binding and obligatory on the MeS-
lean except the grant ohe Tehuantepec COM
pany which is recognised and made more valuable by
the Gadsden treaty?
FIN Whether the Acapulco is or is likely to be,
put in any condition for the Of wheel carriages and
whether with all the newspaper and pampheteer talk
there has ever been any mail matter conveyed that
route weighing much as twenty pounds (The Cali
forna mails usually weigh from six to twelve pounds
These questions satisfactorily answered will do much TO
remove the general skeptcism in relation to the Ramsey
route If the grant which is set up the foundation
of mail from Congress be not dead it will be
easy enough establish its vitality by proert of its
ditions and brief explanatory note from the Mexican
anything be practicable ii is easy enough to show
it-not by fast certificates and large talking but by
plain substantial reliable statements Until something
of this kind is done all the fuss and flourish of dap
per little etterwrters of lhbusering agents and
daeious journalists, will avail nothing with Congress
and the public Congress will otherwise apprehend
be slow redress the ncifu wrongs of the Ramseyroue
specuators, and Congress and the public will both be
likely to hold fast to the opinion maugre the bowling of
tie New York Herald that the Postmaster General is
right--right by the law and the facts.
