Substance of the Remarks of Mr.. Eaton,

WARREN,
On the bill TO establish Courts Of Common Pleas in
the seperal Counties Of this State.
Mr.. Eaton after stating :hat the bill proposed to
take away nearly all of the jurisdiction Of the coun-
ty courts and to devolve it Judges of the Courts
of Common Pleas, to be elected in each County in
the State by the qualified voters for the House of
Commons, to be paid salaries of 5000, and certain
fees to be taxed the party cast and to hold their
offices for four years; and after stating other leading
features Of the bill, proceeded to set forth his OBJ
iections.
He remarked that it contrary to the intention
of the trainers of the Constitution that any judicial
officer of the State should be elected by the people,
and hold his office for term of years. He also
ted that, independently of this objection, he op.
POSED any how to an election Of Judges by the peo-
pie; and did not believe that they desired it. Mr..
Eaton also objected to several of the details Of the
bil and among them to the provision forbiddng an
appeal to the Superior Court that which taxes the
suitors to raise portion Of the Judges compensa-
ton; and that which allows him to hold his Court
for ten days, if he should think proper-a provision
which MIR. E. said would interfere with the attend
at other Courts Of members Of the bar. In the
conclusion Of his remarks he observed that if we
to have jury trials taken away from the County
Courts, he would greatly prefer the system recon-
mended by Gov. Graham in 1916 and 1S48 which
provides for three terms of the Superior Courts
every year.

The wine-the wine-the festival wine
From the meek Moselle and royal Rhine
The cluster blood of the orphaned vine
From far Tokay aud the Ebro lneI
Its tremulous drops on the beaker-p shine,
Like the gold beads torn from golden mine,
Like the liquid love of an eve divine.
Or the mellow-ripe tinge of the days decline;
With bubbles that fash, like the trident-tine
0fthe grim Sea-God far over the briue
Far over the brine whose biIlows refine
The flavor and hue ofthe wandering wine;
The wine-the gentle and generous wine
In the revelry halls of the MUSES. nine
On the passionate lip where the roses recline,
In the valleys where wander the Low ing kline
Shaded BY Alp or blue APpenine;
At the rocking board where huntsmen dine
On the red deer baunch and the brown OK chine,
Where songs of the chase and smiles benign,
And gances of mirth and of pleasure combine
In the locks of Old Time bid gariands TO twine,
Till the worried and wearying hearts resign
The wrestle for gold, the grasping design
The tilt and the battle of mine and thine
And TO Love and to laughing eyed Beauty incline
And the brow pure white and the lips carmine;
In the dark and the damp where chains coufine
The bandit doomed to a death condgn:
In the hammered halls where monarch's sign
Sets free n ose-billowed river of wine;
Ever-forever- runneth the wine
From the meek Moselle and the Empress Rhine
The wine-the wine-the red Tipped winei

Municipal Election.

The following is the vote for Mayor and Commits
sioners, at the election held here Monday last
For Mayor William Dallas Haywood American,
149 James Litchford, Sr American, 80.
Middle Ward.-C B. Root A; Ed. Yarbrcugb,
Marriott was not a candidate.
Eastern Word.- Eldridge Smith 81; Alexander
Adams II; L. W. Peck 20; W. c. Upchurch 6 !;
John Hutchins 5. Messrs Upchurch and Huchins
were not candidates.
Western Ward.-H. D. Turner 6s; Thomas H.
Briggs so; A. NJ. German q; Q. Busbee 6. Mr.
Busbee was not candidate.
The Register, giving an account of this election,
says:
"An election was held in this City on Monday
last for municipal officers and resulted in the selec
ton Of the Whig and American ticket by large
majorities. We give below the vote cast which,
notwithstanding the disagreeable weather, is but 40
or 30 less than the vote cast at the election for
President"
Now, in the first place, there was no contest be-
tween the "Whig and American" and Democratic
parties, for every person who was candidate was
either "Whig" or an "American" If the major
tiles for the successful candidates are large, they
were obtained by "Americans" over "Amercans, :"
and not over Democrats. Mr.. Litchford, the defeat
ed candidate for Mayor is more rigid and consist
ent "American than Mr. Haywood is; and yet the
inference left by the Register upon the minds of
those uninformed the subject is, that Mr.. Litch-
ford the Democratic candidate, and was beaten
by the "American party. The same remarks ap-
kply to Messrs. Peck and German. They are just as
confirmed "Americans" " as those who were elected;
and yet the Register appears to be elated at the
selection of the Whig and American ticket" over
hem by large majorites."
Nor is it true that the vote polled is but 40
DO less than the vote cast at the election for Pres
dent" The aggregate vote cast for Mayor is not
than half large the vote cast for President
At the Raleigh box in November. The truth is, the

a. small minority in deliberative body can,
if it chooses seriously interrupt and retard public
business. The Democrats of the Commons are
anxious to complete the public business and ad.
journ but they cannot do SO, even by the 10th of
February, if the opposition, any considerable
portion of it, should persist in useessly calling the
yeas and nays in making motions to adjourn, and
in pressing measures upon the House which have
been deliberately acted on and rejected. "a word
to the wise,' &c. We trust that harmony and good
feeling will characterize the last days of the session
and that those who feel that they have reason to
complain because their cherished measures have
failed, will yield gracefully to the will Of the ma
jority.

BANK OF CAPE FEAR.-The President and Direct
ors of this Bank have mcmoriazed the Legislature
for several amendments to their charter granted to
and accepted by them two years ago. They set
forth at some length, and with force the disadvant-
ages under which they state they doing business
owing to certain restrictions placed upon them in
their charter, and which they declare to be onerous
and injurious to both the stockholders and the State
They also state that they were Influenced in great
degree to accept the charter by feeling of defer.
ence for the expressed will of the Legislature, and
from wish to continue the aids they were extend
ing-and which were SO much needed-to trade and
commerce.

The FLORIDA INDIANs.-A correspondent of the
Savannah Georgian, writing from Key West, under
date of the 25th ultimo, states that although the
flags of truce inviting o conference ordered by Gen.
Harney had been displayed from all the military posts
and other public stations the Indians had taken no
friendly notice of them, and those along the Indians
track" had even been torn down by the savagcs.
This is supposed to indicate their determination to
hold no iuterc course with General Harney.

Other States have buildings erected by the gene
raj government for the accommodation Of the Post
Office and the Federal Courts; and We do not see
why North Carolina should form exception. We
trust that her application has been put in, that
she will not suffer by her modesty heretofore exhib-

Democratic nett gain,



Here we have a clear Democratic nett gain, in a
little over two years, of three hundred votes
and in every election the Democratic candidate has
been falsely represented. In the election of 1854
Gov. Bragg was held up to people as an anti
internal improvement man. and the country, far and
wide filled with the famous Cocran certificates is
sued Fl ON Edenton, at the instance of Col. Paine,
and operated seriously on the Democracy in this
county. And in the election Of August last Gov.
Bragg was held up here eastern man. and
strenuous Shareholder, while Mr.. Gilmer was said
only to have went into Guiford mobs to prevent in
jury being done and Wesylans brought to the polls
to vote for him, which several of them did, to my
knowing. And in the election for President and
Vice President, Messrs. Buchanan and Breckenridge
held up at the famous High Point rally as the
extreme Southern candidates; and no person. at all
tinctured with abolition feelings, voted the Demo-
cratic ticket; while many voted for Fillmore and
Donelson. Thus, the gains in this county are pure
ly Democratic-for principle alone, apart from any
hopes Of promotion.
The Whig majority, for years, in this county, was
about 900 votes. We Che Democrats) have be-
gun to pull down their high places and with God
speed and the help of all the true patriots of all par
ties, we shall soon do it. In two years from this
moment, Dagon will be greatly disturbed for his
safety, in this his strong hold Randolph is des-
tined to be o strong Democratic county; and when
she once gives Democratic vote she will be hard
to turn Her citizens are stern men, and many OF
them good patriots, though misguided by designing
political Office seekers and demagogues.

WELL Done We ask the attention of the spir-
tied Oak-City Guards to a call. in another column,
for meeting of their corps, this Friday) evening,
at y o'clock. The object of this meeting, we learn,
is to adopt some plan by means Of which to assist
the efforts of those already engaged in the noble
work of succoring the destitute and famishng in
and around our CITY, 1t is said that there fully
forty f'milies almost destitute of food tue-many
entirely so of both-n midst. In ordinary win.
ter this would present startling picture
but a: such this, it is truly appalling -
Something must be done to relieve this mass Of
helplessness; and the Guards are the right men to
take the matter in hand. They have been engaged
all winter in handsomely providing for our inteec
tual wants, and they will certainly now do some
thing for the physical necessities of the destitute
poor-thus becoming in fact what their name i'm

done, and Heaven speed the good work.
