RAILROAD MEETING.-Pursuant to public notice.
meeting of citizens feeling interest in the construc-
ton of the Wilmington, Charlotte Rutherford Fall
road, was held at the Courthouse last night The
attendance was full one. John A. Taylor, ESQ.,
presided, and T j. Norcom, Esq, acted as Secretary
Addresses were made by the Chairman on taking his
seat, by H. L. Holmes, Esq, Gen. Alex McRae' A.
H VanBokkelen, Esq, DIR. F. J. Hill, and, we think
one or two other gentlemen, whom we did not hear.
The necessity of the work. the question of a town
subscription as we'll as other matters thereunto per-
tanning were discussed the general impression SEEM
ing to be that the Road must be built The audience
was calm, attentive and consolidate, became the
subject to the consideration of which neither pas
sion nor impulse can properly be brought. The
question of town subscription is one which every
voter must decide for himself after careful eXamina
ton, and unswayed by partzan feelings or excited
appeals. 1t is matter In which cool judgment
alone must exert its influence For our own part
yielding, as we do, to what appears to US the neces
sity of the case we shall certainly if in town on the
18th inst, for the subscriptions yet, we are Tree
to confess, that this is simply own notion, ou1
own individual opinion, from which we believe that
many esteemed friends of both parties dissent. But
speaking of parties it must be apparent that this Ii
question with which party has nothing ought tc
have nothing to do 1t is simply matter of dollars
and cents. If any voter feels convinced that tn
rea substantial interests of the town will be benefit
ted, on the whole, more by the results of this sub
scrption than they will be injured by the increase
which it will involve then, presume, he vii
vote for it. If he does not think then he will Vot
against it. 1t is, after all, question of enarge
sef.interest Our belief Isl that the question will
decided for subscription. Upon the whole this ap
pears to us the wisest course.-DGiy Jour, 1st inS
