t ID we'll known that the acceptance Of
the Lscompton Constitution was urged rpon
Congress BY the President simply ~ s'mat.
ter Of expediency and that his annual mes.
sage favored the sub, ission Of State Consti.
iutious TO the people 10 all cases hereafter.
Il was urged then by those who favored that
eIpediency move. that it was not repuds
'ion Of the principle Of poT Tu'ar sovereignty.
ut q mea-ure caiulated to restore peace to
the country. and slIay m agitation csused
by the recommendation and save the Union
which was said to be in great danger. The
advocates Of that expediency measure went
etill further, and declared thai the delegates
ought to have submitted that constitute. q
to the people. but not having done so. it was,
nevertheless binding upon the peopls al
their rct and deed. and that the wi.e course
adoTted towards Mionesota would be pur.
sued In all caWs hereafter.
The sIrsdiency measure was not adopted
and the introduction Of the infamous English
Bill, gave the falsehood to all these profes
sions by the submission Of an insulting pro
po,ition TO the people which could only re-
cult in ke'ping the question open for npita
tion. and demor strattd that Il was not al
expedisucy measure merely. but q war upor
the principles embraced in the Ksn.a. N.
braska law, and enunciated In the Cincin
natl Platform.
10 the face Of al their former professions
the Iecompton Convention Of this State
not only endorsed the English bill, with III
infamous distinction in regard to the insti
tuiions Of new States, hut alec sanctions tn,
manner in which the Lecomptop Consti,u
tion wns sought to be fastened upon the pc
pie Of Kansas. by so!emnly declaring tba
the people Of State or Territory cal
only cxe' else the right Of voting upon thei
fund mental law, when their delegates Il
their Constitutional Conventions shall se,

hrnce Of a centralized and dictatorial power

Wagon Roads.

The private interest that has constantly
opposed the grating Of license for ferry
at the junction. has urged that, if q license
was granted for ferry the county would
be importuned until it had built road to
and from that point. The parties using
this argument are constantly asking the
people by legislative enactment to squaDder
Thousands Of dollars in bui ding roads
around Robiuhood's Barn to accommodate
thtir toll bridges.
There is enterprise enough in Oroville to
build road to the junctiou-if the county
would establish bridge or ferry at that
point, and make il free road too. Such a
course on the part of the Super visors would
put a stop to the constant begging now an.
nually made. through the agency of special
legislative action for the county to appro-
propriate thousands of dollars in bonds. to
build wagon roads, "via the Mendenhall
Ranch B" and improvements already made to
accommodate the travelling public. How
long will the people Of the county nsent to
be thus humbugged and imposed upon.

Indians. The Indians were lying on the
ground. An arrow entered the thigh of MIR

Mr.. Johnson was shot on the iib directly

The following morning the horses were

ESy@ \ correspondent of the Raleigh Register
writing from Charlotte, pretending to give an ac-
count of the discussion this place between
Ellis and Mr. NcRae, (and which was republished
bv the Wing" last week. does Judge Ellis injus-
tice Every one who heard the discussion and has
read the illusions of this Charlotte correspondent
know that that report is unfair. Were it not for
the cxtravagant laudationS bestowed upon Mr. Nc
Rae in that article we might think he wrote it him
self. Anyhow, think it pretty certain that he
SAW it before it was mailed at this place.
According to that report Judge Ellis was dc
molishcd, ruined. used up.! Here is the
tone and character
Rae and rms Chaioue-BriIIiant effort Of Ur NcIPae
-Jp{gc Ellis used up-Ee IS taken sick >"
We wonder ifany man is fool enough to believe
the above bonbaStic stuff. The article falsely re-
presents Judge Ellis trying to dodge questions,
and stating his positions in such a way that they
could not be understood. The Judge gave his
views freely, distinctly and clearly. The opinion
Of many gentlemen fboth parties who were present
will sustain this assertion.
But if this correspondent was disposed to give
fair report of the discussion why did he not state
the candidates positions on the "Danville connec-
ton" He knew that Mr. McRae's views on this
matter would make him unpopular in the East
hence he passed that point over he did many
other points. Judge Ellis contrasted Mr. McRae's
YIosito" to distribution up to the year 1852, with
his present position, but this correspondent says
nothing about that-he SURPRISES it.
We expect to many bare-faced accounts Of
discussions i'll opposition papers during the cam
paign, but more unfair than the one by the
Charlotte correspondent of the Raleigh Register.
\ report of the discussion at Monroe, also pub
li>hcd in the Raleigh Register, strikes as being
very unfair OF course it shows that Judge Ellis
was used up, and glorifes McRae to a high degree.
We heard gentleman who was present say that
judi &c Ellis made mastery effort on that occasion
and showed up his opponents Inconsistencies i'll
cnviabe light.
In our account of the discussion at this place
We gave fair report. We have heard of no one
finding fault with it. However much we might
have been justified in eulogizing Judge Ellis, we
rcfrancd from doing so, being entirely willing for
the people to form their own estimates of the abili-
ty of the two men, knowing that the Judge would
not suffer by fair comparison.

GOTH OF MAY.

The anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration
of Independence was celebrated in this place on
Thursday last in a cOmmendable manner.
The Goth being also the anniversary of the Hor-
nets Nest Rfemen, that Company made arrange
ments for observing the occasion with patriotic
spirit. just before II o'clock on the night of the
18th the booming of cannon reminded our citizens
that the SD anniversary of that ever-memOrable
and glorious day when the heroes Of Mecklenburg
met in Charlotte and declared themselves free and
independent of the British crown, about being
ushered in. Also during the morning Of the Goth
sautes were fired at intervals.
The Rifemen paraded in fine style and marched
to the place selected for target firing The prize
was Won by d. l.. Rea, who made the best shots
l.. y. Blackwelder was I'd best.
After the firing, the Company and invited guests
IartOok of an excellent collation. and spent a few
hours in giving vent to a strain of wit and humor
which flowed out as the champaig ne flowed III.

INSULTS TO AMERICAN VESSELS

Within the past month several American YES
sells have been fired at and boarded by English
ships of war. In one case three musket balls were
fired into one of our merchantmen, endangering
the lives of those on board 1t is stated that Pre-
sident Buchanan has demanded explanations from
England for such conduct, also from Spain for SINH
lar Outrages.
We presume it is we'll known to the reader that
the United States deny the right of any nation
to board and search our vessels. England claims
the right to search suspected ship even if she is
carrying the American flag, for, it is argued a
pirate or SLAYER may hoist that flag to keep from
being molested

For the Western Democrat.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE EDUCA-
CATIoNAL ASSOCIATION OF NC.

The undersigned, Executive Committee of othe
Educational Association of North Corolna," in
accordance with the power vested in them by the
Constitution, have selected STATEsvILLE as the
place of the next annual meeting. The time of
the meeting is fixed by the Constitution on the
first Wednesday, 9th dGy) Of July; and as the
season is one of comparative leisure and the place
healthy and accessible, it is hoped there will be
large attendance of the members and of others
desiring to join the Association. The people of
Statesville, in public meeting, have generously
rendered the inequalities of the place to the
Association and all the Rail Roads in the State
will pass delegates for one fare. The Western
will be finished, it is hoped to Statesville by the
fifth Of July and if the cars should not be run
ming so far, there will be ample means for the
conveyance Of delegates from the terminus of the
Road to StatesviLe. By Committee appointed
for that purpose, four persons will be selected to
deliver essays educational subjects, and two to
deliver popular addresses; and among other subjects
OF great interest," coming up for discussion will be
plan for cheap system of Normal Schools.
OHlcers and teachers of Common Schools, profess
sors i'll Colleges, and teachers in every class of
schools, and all friends of education in North
Carolina, whether member of the Association or
not, earnestly and cordially invited to attend
Statesville, situated nearly at the foot of the
mountain, among a thrifty and intelligent popula-
ton, and in high and salubrious region, offers
many attractions for a summer excursion to those
who live in the middle, southern and eastern por-
tons Of the State while the people of the piedmont
and mountain counties, where the facilities of
travel not great will perceive that the place
of meeting is selected as near to them as circum-
stances will permit.
Papers Of the State favorable to the cause of
education, will please copy this notice.
