no doubt. For he found in the Tuscaloosa district

manly efforts he not only reduced it entirely but

BRITISH GOOD FEELING AND NORTH. CAR.
Oh!NA GOOD SENSE-THE RESOLUTE AND
THE RESULTS.
The restoration to the British government of the
Arctic discovery ship "Resolute," abandoned by Ter
omcers and found and brought to New Bedford bv
an American, has elected in England an ardent flow
OF good feeling The utmost graciousness has been
manifested by the Queen, and unprecedented atten-
tons and honors have been rendered by Her Majes-
Tvs omcals civil and military, to Captain Hartstein
upon call of the Senate, the President has sent
in the correspondence between the two governments
ana two thousand copies were ordered to be printed
IL IS redolent of the kndest sentiments The bappv
tnought OF restoring this sngularly found shin has
oceh most happily consummated under the careful
instructions of Mr.. Secretary Dobbin.
The Old North State is douby honored in this
auar ior had it not been for a North Carolina men,
Der OF Congress-the vgilant and talented Cljnpman
the authority of Congress might not vet have been
obtained 1t was only through the vigorous effort
OF Mr.. Cilngman that the Senate resolution was
icsurrected after it had been buried on the Speakers
table even up to tie adjournment of the regular ses
9 9,o'. "hem the extra session met, although the
House was disposed to touch nothing but the Army
om' I'or winch the members had been called back
IN bad humor,) We find that on the 2sth of August
1856, Mr.. Cllnsman prevailed on the House to allow
MN to move that the resolution be taken up and
put on its passage"
Mr. Jones. of Tennessee, the "objector" and strict
cohstructonlst OF the House, said he could not vote
or 1t, as nc was not satisfied that we have any DOW
er TO purchase ships to give them away" But Mr.
C"hSman pressed his motion, and the joint resou-
ton was passed, which has done more to omen nm a
proper understanding between the two countries
Than could be brought about by millions of dollars
spent in diplomacy.

Thus it will be seen that the travel is inevitably
lost to the lower roads, and the time and distance is
greatly in favor of the East Tennessee road that
no other deduction can be drawn than what have
shown. Apart from distance, time and money, We
hold that the State has no right to deny charter
to any portion Of her people to follow any lawful
business, discriminate in favor of a class or Sec
ton. That the exercise of such right is arbitrary
and unjust-one that cannot and should not be sub
mittcd to- and Senators should look we'll to the mo-
tives that prompt them to the preparation of this

have the honor in part to represent claim the same
rights and privileges. Now, sir, the very SENATORS
that demand this proposition arc hving eHneI .hs y.
selves or their constituents, in the daily violation
of these wholesome precepts.
! But sir to recur again to this most vexed ques'
ton as to who shall enjoy the benefits of the through
travel IF the proposition be true-and it cannot DC
successfully contradcted-that the Danve road, ana
"a miles ofthe N. Carolina road, would be tine great
highway" why in the name of justice shall we NOT
have it. especially this travel must be
lost to our own people if We do not get the road.
And to largely contribute to the finances of the
State this company proposes to pay bonus for the
liberty of constructing it out of their own private
means Of 20 cents on the passenger, and ~ cents
on every ton of freight. Is this no inducement to
Senators who so much deprccate the present EN-
barrassed condition of the State? The Senator from
Davidson, (Nlr. j. w. ThomasO has put that amount
to the sum of $4,000. l think the Senator short
of the mark. It could not be less than $l10, 900
per annum to the State-an amount almost equal to
one-third of the annual income of the State Is this
nothing to be taken into the account? and as figures
are stubborn things let see whether the expecta'
tons set forth can, upon any data, De reasonably
hoped for or seriously entertained The report, as
