Common SchoOls...Mr. Wiley's Address.

Common Schools...Mr. Wiley's Address.
We had the pleasure on Wednesday evening last
of hearing interesting address from Calvin II. WI
ley, ESQ.,, State Superintendent of Common Schools
on the subject of the condition and progress of the
schools and education generally. Mr.. Wiley was
introduced to tie audience by Mr.. Cherry, of Ber-
tic, long devoted friend of puolc instruction. The
audience, not so large as could have wished to
see it, appeared to be deeply interested by the
valuable facts and statistics which were presented.
Mr. Wiley traced the history of our Common
Schools for the last sixteen years, showing the im-
portance to their of the Office which he
fills, and exhibiting the improvements in the sys-
TEN, especially during the last five six years. Our
progress in this respect has recently been most graf
flying and the future is full of promise. North Car
DINA is far ahead of any other Southern State in
her system Of Common Schools and the day is not
distant when she will take her stand in the educa-
tonal ranks with many of the Northern and Eas-
tern States
Here is a cause around which we can all rally,
without regard to party--a cause which appeals
with more force than any other to the judgment
and the heart Of the phianthropist and Statesman.
Happen what may let stand by this interest, and
foster and improve it until it becomes what it should
be-a great light of hope, and a source Of security
for our liberties, social and POLITICAL now and for al
generations. We regret that we lack space to fol-
low Mr. Wiley through his address. He has shown
a deep and most commendable interest in the noble
work confided to his hands; and the fruits of his
labors are beginning to be and felt for good in
all parts of the State 49,

Hon. K. RAYNERs SPEECH AT RALEIGH.-Scveral
days since we published notice of speech made
by Hon. Kenneth Rayner at Raleigh on the 9Th of
December, on the strength of sketch in the North.
Carolina Standard, in which he was represented to
have said that he was offered 800, 900 by an ennis
sary Of Mr.. Forney, "if he would exert himself for
the straight Fillmore ticket" and that Mr.. j. P.
Sandcrson the leader of that ticket, "who bad not
heard the jingle of dollar for many month"; had,
since the election, been able to purchase house
worth $40, QUO"
We have since received a pamphlet containing
full report of Mr. Rayner's speech that occasion,
and justice to all parties concerned requires US to
say that no such statements those quoted by us
from the Standards SKETCH are to be found in it
The sketch was evidently from an unfriendly pen,
but presumed that it would not go far to
put into MIR. Rayner's mouth words and sentiments
which he did not utter.
Neao York Times abolition.
There can be room for doubling that Mr. Ray
ner used the language attributed to him in the STAN
dard in relation to Mr.. Sanderson but Mr.. Rayner
suppressed it in his spec H. revised and published
under his authority. The Standard has put into
Mr.. Rayner's mouth no sentiments which he did not
utter. We did not hear the speech, but under
stand that Mr.. Rayner uttered several things which
he did not deem it expedient to publish
1t seems that the Times, one of the leading FIRE.
IhouI dooilioH Jo"udiS, Has IcCcNtu
copy of Mr. Rayncrs speech. Who sent it? Is
Mr.. Rayncr anxious or are his friends anxious that
the New York Times should understand his scnti-
ments and his position? We have received no pam
phlet copy of the speech yet, but it seems the
Times has. What is our cctemp ,rary Of the Regis
ter about? Did we not expressly order copy?
Where is it? Three cents and half at a crisis like
the present, is not to be considered for mo-
ment. The pamphlet is for sale, and it should be
procured, cost what it may-unless indeed the great
run for it has exhausted the supply. How is it. Mr..
Register? Was not the work stereotyped? But
seriously, the New York Times has been furnished
! with copy of Mr.. Rayner's speech! Perhaps it
was furnished in order that the Editor might see for
himself the following afectonate expressions in it
| in relation to the Frcmonters. Says Mr.. Rayncr-
SIT shall never be said of me that exhibit any
terror alarm, at the idea of political utilization
| with many at the North of the highest charac-
ter, the sternest rirtue and the purest patriotism
| men aohom an proud to number among my friends
MEN SUPPORTED Fremont, not on account of
| any abolition proclvities. but because they consid-
cred him the most available candidate to beat Bu-
| chanan."
And yet the X. N. papers of this State-the Reg
lister excepted-endorse the speech, and in so doing
endorse the aboce! What nerta With such lead
Mr. Rayner. and with such inclination in
the K. n. papers now, what may not expect in
1860 and 1864?

A Sinking Eund !.


Mr.. Bledsoe, of Wake, has introduced into the
Commons bill to create Sinking Fund that is, a
fund to pay the debt of the State as it falls due and
relieve the people, as far possible from taxation.
The bill provides for three Commissioners to man.
age the fund, to be appointed by the Governor and
Council-to hold then meetings in Raleigh in the
office Of the Comptroller, to keep record Of their
proceedings by a Secretary, and to be paid three
dollars per day for their services while engaged
The dividends the preferred stock Of the State in
the North Carolina Road-the tax the stock Of
the Bank of Cape Fear and the Bank of the State,
and the dividends on any stock for which the State
may subscribe, authorize to be subscribed in any
Bank during the present session. over and above the
interest any bonds issued by the State pay for
such subscription of Bank stock-are set apart to
raise Sinking Fund.
Some measure of the kind is indispensable, and We
are glad that Mr.. Bledsoe has introduced his BILL
We trust that the subject will be fully considered by
the Finance Committee and by the two Houses !;
and that some plan to effect the object in view by
MIR. Bedsoe, will be matured and adopted.
