In April last Mr.. Senator Gwin presented to the
Senate Of the United States the resolutions Of the
Legislature Of California instructng the Senators and
requesting the Representatives from that State to
vote fo' the immediate admission Of Kansas with the
Lecompton CONSTITUTION. The following remarks
made after the presentation of the resolu-
TONS by the two Senators from that State:
"Mr BRoBzxIck. The resolutions introduced by
my colleague from the legislature Of California will
have no influence upon my action here now or in
the future. ! am satisfied that these resolutions do
not express the opinions Of the people of California
upon the question to which they refer. am salts
fed, SIR that four ffths of the people of California
repudiate the Lecompton fraud l shall respect the
wishes Of the people and pay respect to the
lutons passed by legislature not representing the
opinions Of the people Of California. l merely say
this now for the purpose Of placing myself right
the record
Mr.. Gw1N. I do not intend to discuss this ques.
ton, it has passed from the consideration of the
Senate. l take issue with the senator in his state.
ment as to the public sentiment in California on this
subject. and accept the tribunal he invokes--the
people. Before that great tribunal I am willing to
present myself and abide its decision, having no
doubt or fear Of the result"
Well, the appeal was made to the people of Cali
forna, and the result is known. M. Gwin has been
sustained, End Mr.. Broderick has been condemned
faithless public servant California has spoken
in trumpet tones for Lecompton. for James Buchan-
an, and against Douglas, Broderick, and the other
disorganizers. What will Mr.. Broderck do2 Is he
not bound as man of honor to resign his seat
We think so. But it may be that bis sensibilities
are so dull that he will not feel this rebuke heed
this call upon him to vacate the seat to which he is
not morally entitled.

County Fairs.

The fifth annual Fair Of the Cumberland Agrcul.
tural Society will be held at Fayetteville the Sd,
4th and 9th days of November next We make the
following extract from the circular Of the Executive
Committee inviting preparations and attendance:
"The importance of such an institution for ad-
vancing the interest of the Farmer, the Mechanic
and the Manufacturer, cannot be doubted. 1t has
for its object the creation of an honest and audabe
spirit of emulation among Them by increasing their
efforts to excel in their respective departments.
This is age of improvement and progress, and it
is the interest Of all to keep pace with it. One inn
portant step in accomplishing that object is to build
up and sustain exhibitions Of industry and enter
prise where all may meet together, view each others
works, compare notes, increase in knowledge, and
take fresh courage in their respective pursuits. An
institution having such objects in view cannot fail to
meet the appreciation and support Of all.
We now invite our fellow citizens to come and
join with US, and to bring with them for exhibition
every thing they may have; and We promise to do
every thing in power to make the occasion one
of interest, profit and pleasure to every one. We
trust that citizens generally will exert them.
selves to make every department of our exhibition
complete
We look to the ladies to fiji Floral Hall. They
have always performed this part well, and the
time is rapidly approaching we hope they will be
ready again to prove that those who look to them in
a good cause never look in vain.
We invite the citizens Of the surrounding country
to come and compete with MS for the premiums, and
assure them we will endeavor to give satisfaction
to ALL"

tied BY GEoRsE RIPLEY and CHAmrs a. DAxA.
Nsv York. d. Appleton q Co, col. 8. m. 7es.
The appearance Of the third volume of this Cyclic
pedia gives US opportunity of commencing it
again to readers. The titles contained In this
volume are included between Beam and Browning,
and within those limits are nearly twenty-five hun.
bred distinct articles. All Of these articles we're
written expressly for this work, and some of them
must have cost their authors much labor, and furn-
ish with the results of very extended and minute
Investigations. Great pains have been taken, evil
IDENTITY, to ensure accuracy, as we'll all the fullness
of statement that the size Of the work will admit Of
and make the articles pleasant to the reader,
well trustworthy. Such is the variety Of the sub
jects treated of in these volumes that every of
whatever occupation will find information suited to
the wants of his peculiar business. Not the pro-
essed scholar merely mainly, or the professional
man. so-called but the merchant the manufacturer,
the farmer, will find here much to guide and instruct
him in the pursuit of his several caltngs. And We
are sure that every who has this work at hand,
and who has spark of curiosity touching his own
or any others occupations will find himself more
and more frequently, he it turning TO it for
the information he needs, and with the certain
pectaton, too Of finding it, snd, may add, as the
result of own experience, the more he refers to
it. with stronger reliance its general accuracy
and worth authority. We cannot but hope
that this work will have very general circulation
in our community. and are confident that none who
purchase it will think his money i'll spent We may
add that this volume, like the preceding ones, con-
tains divers articles of peculiar interest to the PEG.
pie of our State; among which We may mention the
biographical sketches of Col. Benton and Johnston
Blakeley.

NoRTH-C ARoL1NA.-In one of the recent Reports
of Mr. Courts the able Treasurer Of this honest and
unpretending State, on its financial concerns, we
find the annexed just appreciation of its character
for integrity and good faith.-Nat. Int.
II will take this occasion to say, that, having
been for several years connected with the finances
of the State and charged with the responsibility Of
meeting from time to time the demands against her,
suppose my opportunities have been as good as
those of any other person for collecting the senti
ment of our people upon the subject OF our State
credit and the degree Of Importance which they at
tach to the necessity of unfolding it; and think
do not pay them an undeserved compliment when
give it as my opinion that the great body of them
would either readily forego for a season the suppos
ed benefits of any proposed public improvement, or
would quietly submit to any additional taxation that
should be found requisite rather than that the credit
of the State should receive the slightest tarnish from
a noncompliance with her contracts Perhaps in
no State is the ennobling sentiment of State pride
more generally felt or more warmly cherished than
in North Carolina; and no one who loves the State
would wish to see this feeling diminished. 1 will
remark further in this connection, that while it is
not my province, and therefore not my purpose to
express an opuon upon the policy that has been or
may hereafter be pursued in relation to the Internal
improvements Of the State, I hazard the opinion
that our system thus far, whatever may have been
its blunders in particular cases, has in the main
greatly redounded to the prosperity of the State;
and as these improvements have been chiefly built
up by the aid of the State by giving her pledges,
have no doubt that her faith and honor, hitherto un
soiled will still be preserved by the prompt redemp-
ton of these pledges"

Forney. Foote and the REGISTER

The Register is hard run for capital against the
administration of Mr.. Buchanan when it resorts to
the testimony of John w. Forney and Henry S.
Foote. The former was guilty Of the meanness in
his Tarrytown speech of retailing his private con-
versations with the President and of making out of
the whole CLOTH as it is stated much That never was
said; and the latter as we all know, is one of the
most INSCRIPTIONS and depraved politicians in
America.
The Registers witnesses are not to be believed
They are interested and corrupt. For our part We
have not even read-we have merely glanced over
John ". Forneys late attack on the President
We did not choose to undergo the infection of reac.
ing the diatribes and sickly complaints Of a dis
appointed place-hunter. Forney will find his level
at last He will "go to his place" in the end among
the skeletons of all those misguided men who have
from time to time conspred against the Democratic
party. Foote has already found his place in the
contempt of all honest men.
We congratulate our contemporary on the charac-
ter of his witnesses against James Buchanan. If
what they alege is all our contemporary can say
against the administration, then we shall not deem
it necessary to make any defence.
And is this the old Wing and the new "Ameri-
can" party? Has it come to this, that having no
solid grounds of its own on which to stand, the
Know Nothing party is leaning for support on For
ney and Foote? 1t would seem so.
