please allow me to express my preference thro'

BOWER, of Ashc. Col. Bower is personally and
favorably known extensively in the western part
of the State. and he is known by politicians gen

Der of the Legislature for the last twenty years,

canvass id North Carolina since Gen. jackson
was4arst sa.-e=4 President Of the United States;
and Col. b. hns always been regarded by the
democratic party as bold, fearless, and able

also know him well-they know him to be just

1--WE think it very probable that strenuous
effort will be made to incorporate the Wimot
Proviso in the act organizing Nebraska; but we
do hope that the present Congress will not dis
grace itself by inficting SO great a wrong upon
the South. As President Pierce however, is SO

The above is specimen of the manner In
which the whig Press is accustomed to treat
the Administration of President Pierce. The
intelligent editor of the Asheville Spectator
thinks that President Pierce will cooperate
with the Free-soilers in procuring the passage
of the Wilmot Proviso! And yet the President
is known to be favorable to Mr. Douglass Bill
for organizing Nebraska and Kansas, in which
there is clause repeating the Missouri Compro-
MISE which is but another name for the Wilmot
Proviso Both the Missouri Compromise and
the Wilmot Proviso work the exclusion ot
slavery from the territory of the United States
by Congressional legislation. And the President

FAYETTEVILLE, n C.
Saturday, February -, 1854.


The President and Directors of the Western
Railroad have been negotiating for some time
with northern house on matters connected
with sthe Road. The FIRST fruits of this ne
gotiation are transfer by Smith 4 Colby of
their stock to trustees, to be by them conveyed
to the Company whenever the sum of $3.50, 600
shall have been subscribed (including the sub
scription of 500, 600 already made) to the capi-
tai stock of the Company by the people of this
vicinity. The President and Directors have
made an arrangement which is to form the basis
Of a contract for the building of the Road. By
this arrangement northern house of Engineers
are to take the entire contract for building the
Road from Fayetteville to the Coal Mines at
the estimates of the Companys. Engineers.
This contract includes the building Of a depot
and machine shop in Fayetteville, and depot
et the River, depots along the road, as we'll as
s$1l0,0OO worth of running stock for the Road.
The iron is to weigh 60 lbs to the linear yard,
THAT on the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad
zweighs s. lbs. and the joints te be sapeQrted
by chairs. The grade Of the Road is not to ex-
ceed 80 feet per mile.
To do all this, the necessary amount of mo-
ney is to be raised as follows: $3.50 600 are to
be subscribed by the friends of the Road, and
$4,000 are to be taken by the contractors
The contractors are to receive 5000 900 in the
bonds of the Company, bearing per cent. in
terest, and payable in 1875. This makes $780,
900, lacking less than 5000, 900 of furnishing
the amount necessary to pay the contractors
according to the estimates of the Company S
Engineers. This amount is to be raised by
issuing bonds of which the contractors are to
have the refusal. These constitute the most
important items in the contract which we under
stand is to be submitted at an early day by the
President and Directors of the Company to a
General Meeting of Stockholders
Har We learn from the contractor, Mr. NJ
McKinnon, that he will commence running the
line of tri-weekly post-hacks on the Fayetteville
and Western Plank Road, between Fayetteville
and Salem, this evening. The days of arrival
and departure have not yet been definitely fixed

Pray tell us how many said they were = ~
cor of Gen. Dockery, and how many susd moth
ing but kept up mighty thinking?
The Argus says in reply to our remarks npon
the whig meeting which was held here on Tues
day week last,
1--WE (the whgs) are united-and united we
mean to press forward boldly and fearlessly,
advocating the peoples right to amend the Con-
stitution in a Convention of the people, rather
than by partizan politicians-and the whig meet
ing would so have said but for omission"
Well, supposing the whig meeting had so said
it would not have pronounced any new or start
ling doctrine. We are not aware that any body
has ever yet denied the right of the people to
amend the Constitution in a Convention. The
Constitution of North Carolina provides two
methods by which it may be amended. One is
by Legislative enactment, ratified by the popular
vote at the ballot box. The other is by q Con1
venton. The Argus may go on as long as&t
chooses advocating the peoples right of amend
ing the Constitution in a Convention. We shat
never deny that right.
But what we chiefly note is the forgctfulnes1
thing in favor of open Convention. That
mending Gen. Dockery had not been pressed
upon the meeting, we should perhaps have heard
that the failure to recommend Gen. Dockery
was purely an act of omission!
Notwithstanding all that may be said by whig
prints, we believe there arc many respectable
wings scattered all over the country who would
look upon an open Convention with distrust. 1t
is delicate subject, gentlemen; commend
it to your careful handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>~~~>
ray Mr. Gales, of the Raleigh Register, has
procured Montague Boardman Power Press
to print the Register. 1t throws off about 500
copies per hour. This is another evidence of
improvement in the press of our State. We
wish friend Gales all pecuniary success.
If the people of North Carolina wish an able
and independent press, it behooves them to en-
courage enterprise and reward diligence by SUBJ
stantial marks Of popular approval. Our whig
friends have appreciated the Importance of sus-
tanning their presses, and, we are sorry to say
it, have, generally speaking shown more liberali-
ty in this regard than the democracy. Why
just look around for the proof of this. You see
in North Carolina more whig papers than demo-
cratic, and generally speaking, they are better
supported. Yet we know that the number of
democrats in the State is greater than the num-
ber of wings. We have doubt that the
secret of whig ascendancy in North Carolina
for so long a time, has been the absence of pro-
per encouragement to democratic papers. The
election is fast approaching. Much depends on
the result Governor, two Senators, and
Free Suffrage. Then We say to the democracy,
circulate democratic papers. Give the people
the means of being enlightened. All will then
| be right.
