GREAT EXCITEMENT IN RALEIGH!-SAM IGNORED,
AND THE WH1G PARTY REvIvED!-At a Convention
of Know Nothngs, lately turned Wings, held in this
place on Tuesday last it was unanimously determ-
ined that the country ruined, and that Col Ed
wards ought to run for Congress. Every county of
the District was absent except Wake; but the Con-
venton, feeling that it had met to proceed and
ciate, proceeded and enunclated accordingly.
Mr.. Syme spoke, Mr. Gales reported the resolu-
tons and spoke, the opposition" applauded all
the funny things and all the bitter things that were
uttered by the speakers and the Democrats present.
who composed onehalf of the meeting laughed at the
sudden and unaccountable excitement into which
Sam, in the guse of Whiggery, had worked himself
1t was, altogether, very rich affair." Not one
word was said about "Catholics" and " foreigners"
The only allusion to Sam was by one Of the speak
ers, and was clearly unintentional He said the op
position had met in council"
If COL Edwards does not proceed at once to an
himself and run for Congress- he will exhibit
an indifference to public favor really astonishing,
and will establish for himself the reputation Of being
the most unreasonable, the heardest hearted man in
the District Of course he will run. He has been
unanimously nominated in Convention, all the coun
ties of the District being absent except Wake

Meeting of Railroad Presidents.

4
A meeting of the Presidents of the various Rail-
roads in this State was held in this City on Tuesday
last in response to the suggestion oe the Board of
Internal Improvements, to make such arrangements
as might be deemed practicable and advisable to es-
tablish system of through freights
We learn that Mr.. Ashe, of the Wilmington and
Weldon Road, Mr.. Whitford, of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Road Mr. Fieher of the North Carv-
lima Road, and Mr.. Pearson of the Western North
Carolina Road, were in attendance. Mr. Wilder, of
the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, was unavoidably ab-
sent on business in the South. His Excellency Gov
Ellis, President er-cticio of the Board Of Internal
Improvements, was present, in conference with the
Presidents mentioned.
We learn that important arrangements and regu-
lations were agreed upon, after full consideration
and that the officers of the Roads evnced every dis
position to conform to the suggestions of the Board
of Internal Improvements, and thus afford to the
public and to business men all practicable dispatch
and convenience in the transportation of articles.
We record this result with much pleasure; and we
avail ourselves of this occasion to express the opn-
ion founded on close observation and on some know
edge of the various Railroads in this State that
faithful officers. could not be found than Messrs.
Ashe Whitford Fisher, Pearson, and Wilder.
We learn that the arrangements and regulations
referred to, will be published at an early day.

his resolution accordingly, and thus vndicate the
truth of history"
Mr. Jones Is "smart man." but he nodded that
time. He missed the facts slightly But his reso-
luton is still open for amendment and he can, if he
chooses so alter it to relieve the black Republican
House, over which Mr.. Banks presided
We predicted in recent issue that the election
Of John Letcher, as Governor of Virginia, which
will take place day next week, would contribute
still further to unite the opposition" Despairng
OF the South, and hating the Democracy with in
creased bitterness, account of their discontinue
in Virginia. they will be prepared to 60 still greater
lengths with the atlas and Banks men of Massa-
chusetts And the issue now is in North Carolina,
whether we shall send to the House of Representa-
tlves an undivided Democratic delegation, who will
stand by the administration, and maintain boldly
and firmly the rghts of North Carolina as slave
holding State; or whether we will send divided
delegation, some of whom will unite more or less
with that socalled conservative" but really Sec
tional opposition which is raying its forces for
sectional triumph in 1860.
Let the people of the First the Fifth, the Sixth,
and the Eighth Districts decide this question for
themselves. The eyes of the whole State are upon
them. Should they decide it justly and properly,
by returning Democrats and true Southern Rights
men to Congress- they will thereby vindicate their
own high character as loyal and Constitutional
Southern men, and at the same time send thrill of
joy and admiration to the hearts of patriots every
where in the whole country

The /" Thirty Million Bill"

Mr.. Syme, in his speech in the Town Hall, on
Tuesday, dwet at somele length on the proposition in
troduced into the last Congress- which was sanctioned
by Mr.. Buchananand sustained by reports by Messrs.
Slidel and Branch, to entrust the President with
sing Cuba. Mr.. Syme, both as a politician and as
Editor of the Register in this proposition every
thing enormous and dangerous. He is not willing
to trust the President with the money, though the
guards which it was proposed to throw around it
were ample. He seems to think the money would
have been used in electioneer;ng schemes that
elections would have been influenced by t!--that
the people would have been bought up, and Demo
cratic ascendency thereby perpetuated!
Mr.. Syme assails Mr. Branch for his report on
this subject yet he is very careful to withhold that
report from his readers. He gives them has opinion
about the light which Mr.. Branch has shed on the
question, yet he refuses to let his readers that
light for themselves. And we predict that while he
will comment upon, pervert, and dstort Mr.. Branchs
letter Of acceptance he will at the time with
hold that document from his readers.
1.-THE opposition" in this State appear to be very
good Cuban men. They are for Cuba--oh yes, they
are for it in certain event; but we recollect they
were for Texas in the sal1e way in 1874 Up to the
time Mr. Clay wrote his antiTexas letter, nearly
cry Whig in this State was for Texas; but as soon
as that letter appeared they changed, and opposed
it almost en- masse They opposed it in their papers,
on the stump and by deliberate vote through their
representatives in the Legislature. We predict that
when the question becomes apractical one they will
pursue the same course in relation to Cuba. The
federalists, of which the Register is an exponent
have opposed every measure by which our territory
has been enlarged and the area of slavery extended
They assailed Mr.. Jefferson for his acquisition of
Louisiana; they opposed the purchase of Florida;
they opposed the annexation of Texas; they oppo-
sed the three million bill of 1S47 under which Mr.
Polk closed the Mexican war by the purchase of the
vast regions of New Mexico and California; andthey
will oppose Cuba whenever the question assumes a
practical shape. Mark the prediction.
