Things In General.

We notice that the Charlotte Democrat is out IN
favour of charter for road from Greensboro 10
Dauville so as TO finish the section Of the State, and
leave it bleeding at both to the manifest loss OF
the State Treasury the depreciation of State property
in other lines and what is more STILL the violation OF
implied State faith. In 1889, the Charlotte and
Danv0 Railroad project was brought before the
Legislature of the State by Mr.. Ellis of Rowan we
beleve-at any rate, it insisted upon by the peo-
pie of the west and CENTRE and centralwes that the
State was either bound TO furnish them with an out
let TO market or give them charter to make this one
for themselves In that Legislature the justice OF this
claim was admitted. 1t was contended that the State
could net charterths Danville Route, without striking
adeady blow all hope of building up in future truly
North Carolina system of Internal improvements
To meet the just demands of the West and at the
same time avoid the evils of the Danvile route many
projects were brought Forward, the result OF them all
being what is now known the North Carolina
Road The expense which the State went to was
from broad notions of State policy. 1t was 10 obVl-
ate the necessity of the Danylle connection, and so
understood. Il was contemplated that at some
future day. the money which the State had spent 10
obviate The necessity this road, would become trIb'
utary to it, or the onehaf of the work constructed
with that money come mere link in the chain to
bind US in subjection neighbor, while the other
half would be virtually sacrificed by that operation
Not at a-not at all. 1t will not be done either
while due recollection of the irne state OF the case
remains.
We DON'T think D f. Caldwelrs Bank Bill will
pass. 1t ought not to pass. We say this in spite o.
the majority Of two on its second reading. The
Central Railroad has too much power now in the
Stale i pokes its finger into everybody's pie. "A
any rate, every Internal Improvement bill that comes
up must be subjected to this test--how will l
affect the Central Rail Road and its Stockholders
We say that we do not want to see bank monopoly
created under any name, the effect of which will be
to deliver the dear people over bound hand and foot
and chained to the service of this affair.
There would appear also, 10 be strong feeling OF
opposition to the charter of the State Bank, and II
is very doubtful whether that bin will go through
We think that il will not What will be done In TIT
currency line we can hardly say There is determ
nation apparent the part of the Legislature to die
tate terms to the corporatons-not to allow corpo
rations 10 dictate terms to it.

with our cousins choice. Indeed, a of letters

almost inaugurated classical liberalism in Europe
member of the same clan should be chosen head of
the Great Republic. He has had his fluctuations of
"principIe,' no doubt: but, as times change, men
must change-and after all, where is the consistency
of most of our magnates at home?
In Mr. Buchanan, American nationality triumphs.
He may be violent and INSCRIPTIONS at times but he
represents America after all. In him the Union tri.
umphs South and North remain together (n a
