GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We did not receive this document in
time for insertion this week. 1t is quite in
tcreSting, and displays throughout the fine
talents of Gov. Bragg.
He commences by abiding to federal af-
fairs-says that all we of the South have
asked is to be protected in the rights secur-
ed to uS bv the Constitution and to be treat
I'd a. equals among the States. More than
this we have not sought to obtain-less. if
true to ourselves, we will never submit to
take The State debt is upwards of $4,000,
OOO and the Gov. says the present revenue
is not sufficient. He recommends the i'm
mediate passage of the Free Suffrage Bill.
Ifthe Bank of the State is not re-chartered,
the Governor recommends new institution
to be chartered with about two million dol
lars capital. He also recommends that a
new Judicial Circuit be created in the West
that some means be adopted to have Grim
iual trials reported-that the officers of Su-
perintendcnt of Common Schools and Geo
logical Surveyor be continued, az valuable
service has been rendered by those two Off
GERS. He recommends q revision of the
Revenue Law.
The Hon. John III. Wheeler, having ap-
Piled to the Governor for State assistance
in prosecuting certain persons in Philadel-
phia. who robbed him of his negroes, the
Governor recommends the Legislature 70
make provision for employing counsel on
the part of the State, as has been done by
other States in similar cases.
We will lay the whole document before
our readers next week.

VWe notice that the Salisbury Watch
man contains an allusion to the structures of
democratic papers on Rayner's conduct.
The Watchman is mistaken when it says
we made similar charge against Mr. n.
Boyden. We made no charge against him
whatever, but we did state that his speech
at this place was not suitable one to be
made by a southern man, and not calcula-
ted to do the Fillmore cause any good.
The increased democratic majority in this
county proves that he did Buchanan no
harm at least. Whatever may be Mr. Boy
denis faults, we give him credit for not fol-
lowing Rayner's example in going North
and assisting in the fusion movement.
Neither have we accused Rayner of
being an abOitionist, but we have said land
the FACTS bear Us out in the assertion) that
his course aided abol:tiOnism. The Fill
more papers in Philadelphia have proven
this upon him; and he deserves, as he will
certainly receive, if opportunity offers, the
condemnation of the southern people. The
Fayetteville Observer, an old line wing
paper, and Jealous supporter of Mr. Fill
more, says it has mo approval for Mr. Ray
ner's political course and we incline to
the opinion that our generally discreet
neighbor of the Waterman will condemn
him after more thorough examination of
his conduct among the Fremonters.

w. J. YATES, Secretary.

tg Our neighbor, the Wing, seems very
we'll pleased with the democratic jubilee
which occurred in this place on the 18th
inst, with two exceptions. 1t objects TO
Mr. Barringer's statement about the manner
in which the democrats were defeated in
Baltimore and New Orleans. We assure
our neighbor that Mr. BIS remarks on that
point were correct. In Baltimore, the
Mayor, who is a know-nothing, refused to
take proper measures for securing demo-
Gratis and other peaceful citizens their
rights at the polls, although urged to act
moro promptly by the Governor of the
State. The Baltimore Republican states
that qualified foreigners were not allowed
to vote, and many were deferred from at
tempting to exercise their sufTrages from
fear of being murdered by the pretended
anti-foreign party. A New Orleans cor
respondent of the Columbia Carolinian,
about two weeks ago, stated that in that
city several persons were murdered for
merely hurraing for Buchanan. Many
voters favorable to the democratic candi-
dates were kept away from the polls by
threats and menaces. In several of the
wards in Baltimore the maiorities of the
know-nothings were greater than the whole
legal vote. Fillmore's large increase in
the city indicates clearly that a foul game
was played.

NORTH CAROLINA WHEAT,

In the proceedings of the annual meeting
of the North Carolina State Agricultural
Society, held in Raleigh last month, we find
the following in relation to North Carolina
Wheat:
The President (IIon. L. Ruffin,) called
to the notice of the Society, the following
letter of DIR. Elwyn with the introductory
remarks of DIR. Gibbon, of Meckienburg
county, and desired that it should De placed
on the records of the Society:
At the meeting of the Scientific Associa-
ton in Albany this summer, some private
conversation ensued upon the comparative
merits of the grain grown in the West,
North and South. 1t was observed that
Southern -four had largely the preference
in the West Indies and South America, on
account of its being dryer and keeping bet
ter in hot climates.
A gentleman who attended the Worlds
Fair in London, at once remarked that the
finest flour he ever saw was made of North
Carolina wheat, and ground at mill in New
York. Being solicited to submit the obser-
Walton to writing, DIR. Elwyn, of Phiadel-
phia, we'll known for the interest he takes
in agriculture and everything connected
with the useful arts. at once drew up q GER
tifcate, of which the ensuing is copy:
II have been desired by DR.. Gibbon, of
North Carolina, to record the following fact
as interesting to the wheat growers of that
State. While acting as chairman of the
committee ION articles used as food during
the exhibition at the Crystal Palace, in Lon
don, was struck with the quality of the
bread offered for the examination by Hecker
& Brother, of New York. 1t was the whitest
and best bread l ever saw. | asked-being
a farmcr-the very natural question, where
they procured their grain; and it was told
that the bread was made of flour from North
Carolina wheat; and to my further aston
ishment, was also informed that, in their
opinion, the best wheat in the United States
was that of North Carolina.

OFFICIAL VOTE.
rrcKLENBURG AGRICULTURAL
FAIR

Agricultural Fair came of on Ihurs-
low last, The exhibition was credltaoIe'
Il ,be articles in competition showed that
o-bib:tors we're actuated by the proper splr-
:. chat Of making the occasion an interest
&c We fear that the people in this
.et;op have not vet felt the Importance and
H. &C ,bose annual exhibitions. Although
,ho attendance was quite large, yet there
,os NOT one-fdurth as many present as
o,,,bt 70 have been. The merchants and
citizens of Charlotte must take more interest
- tbe matter, as the town will be benefited
in proportion to the attractiveness OF the
Fair. 1t will, if properly managed, be the
means of bringing to the town five or SIX
thousand dollars more than probably would
otherwise be expended among us.
The address of the Rev. II. B. Cunning
ham, at the Fair Ground, was in good taste
and style, exactly suited to the occasion.
Among other things, he spoke of the imPor-
lance of having an Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, with Cabinet Minister, for
the purpose of promoting agriculture in this
country, and expressed the hope that our
members of Congress would urge the crea-
ton of such Department in the Govern
mcnt.
The Agricultural Society of this county
have resolved to make the next Fair more
general, oy inviting the whole State of North
Carolina and of South Carolina to compete
for premiums, and the premiums are to be
fixed at such high figure that they will be
worth contending for. The proper arrange
mcrts will be matured and due notice given.
Six hundred and fifty dollars were sub
scribcd for Life-memberships in the Society,
and 800 was received by way of donations.
The receipts at the gates of the Fair Ground
amounted to fifty dollars.
See list of premiums in another column.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT D1scovERx

In addition TO the astounding revelation
that MIR. Rayner owns more slaves than
all the Democratic editors in the State" it
has also been recently discovered, by an
other navigator in the seas of Democratic
hnance, that Mr.. Clingman does not own a
single slave. Alack day!
1t seems that our opponents have not only
'a!l the decency" but all the niggers too.
And we find all the scrubby little know
nothing sheets in the State ringing the
changes upon those themes. All we can
say is that Mr.. Clingman has more brains
than all the know-nothing editors in the
State; and whatever may be the lack of
woolly heads on the part of our fraternity,
we certainly sent no man to Philadelphia to
ride woolly horse.-Fayetteville Carolinian.
And we wonder who made the know-noth-
ing editors so wise as to justify their as
sertions on the niger question. We sup
pose they made sight draft on their ina
ginations. Well bet one cent, mot being
willing to risk any more, seeing that ac-
cording to the aforesaid discoveries we don't
own a hundred negroes) that the democratic
editors pay their debts as promptly as Mr..
Rayner and the aforesaid knoaU-nothing edi-
tors do, and have as much dependent on
the prosperity of the South as they have.
And further, that the democratic editors
own more negroes than the above mentioned
know-nothing editors own. They have
commenced the game of bragg-let's see
how it will hold out.

Eg The Salisbury Waterman says that
Mr. V. c. Barringer, in his speech at that
place before the election, said nothing per-
sonally disrespectful of his brother, Hon.
D. NJ. Barringer. We do not believe that
he did but from the manner in which some
of the know-nothing papers spoke of the
matter, one might have supposed that he
had done so. Democratic papers have
made no complaint about the matter, more
than to show the improperly of the course
of some of the opposition papers in arraying
brother against brother.
Quere: What would the know-nothing
pers in this section have done for something
to ..howl' about had not Messrs Barringer
and Osborne determined to vote for Buch-

THE SPEAKERS.

1t will be seen by the Legislative pro-
ceedings that Jesse George Shepherd, Esq,
of Cumberland, was elected Speaker of the
House of Commons. The present is Mr.
Shepherds second term of service in the
Legislature. and his selection as the presid-
ing officer is a compliment received by
but few men of his age.
His high order of talent, and purity of
character both as a public and private in
dividual, well qualities him for the RESPONSE
bic station to which he has been elevated.
We know the gentleman, and can say that
no one is more deserving of the confidence
OF the people of North Carolina than he is.
W. w. Avery. Esq, of Burke county,
was elected Speaker of the Senate. We
hrst became acquainted with him on attend
Ance at the Cincinnati Convention. He
was unanimously selected as the chairman
@f the y. {. delegation in said Convention.
Rnd from the able and discreet manner in
winch he performed his duty among the
CD veterans of the party, we feel assured
taat ne will discharge his present response
Ole duties to the entire satisfaction of the
honorable body over which he presides.
Mr. Avery has long been an able advocate
OF tAe principles ofthe democratic party in
Western North Carolina. When his party
was largely in the minority he stood forth
and bAttled manfully in the cause of DEM
Ocraey and southern rights, and the honor
just conferred upon him is no less deserved
than COMPLIMENTARY.

- The Columbia Carolinian says ''the
cash system is the only thing for a news

the publishers of the Raleigh Standard.
We intend to adopt it as soon as we can
make it convenient to do so. Something of
the kind must be done.
