SENATOR HUNTER ON AMERICAN LABOR.
We make the following truthful and eloquent ex.
tract from speech delivered in the Senate in 1859
by Senator Hunter, of~Virginia, in reply to Mr..
Simmons:
"But Mr.. President, the Senator from Rhode T..
land made an appeal to us in the name of the Amer
can laborer; and whenever he speaks on that sub.
Ject he moves my sympathies because he is eloquent
and sincere he touches my heart if he fails to con.
vince my head but when come to reflect cooly
upon it. find that my theory of doing it is yery
different from his. !, too would aid the American
laborer. The paths we would pursue to reach tbe
same end diverge most wieldy. would cheapen tbe
axe with which he news his way into the forest.
the hoe and the p!ow with which he wrings from
the reluctant grasp of mother earth hard-earned
subsistence for his wife and his children tbs
blanket which covers him by night, and the coat
which shields him by day against the storms and
the rigors of winter. would diminish the price of
the bolt with which the sailor astens the side of bis
together and cheaper the cordage which holds the
Spars in their places; and by all Unsuitable means
IN my power | would open to him every port upon
all the seas | would cheaper to the manufacturer
the tools which he used and the clothes which he
wore; l would cheaper to him the sugar that
sweetens the cup that cheers but not nebriates
and would relieve him from the sense of dependence
Tor his subsistence upon bountieS to be extracted
from the hard earnings of his fellow -aborers.
would extend, because would cheaper the cost of
making, that iron path upon which our citizens of
every degree are speeding by day and by night in
pursuit of their objects of pleasure or of profit In
short, sir, would open wide the door to the self
development of American industry, and leave it free
to pursue the bent of its genius; and if it did
not then achieve whatever is grand and useful or
curious and beautiful in art the fault would not rest
upon the want of proper opportunity, but upon its
own mcapaclty For myself | am willing to abide
the result. do not distrust the capacity Of INV
countrymen to do as much as has been effected by
any other nation in founding empires or building up
industrial systems"

MR. ROBEkTS REPLY.
Gentlemen Engineers and Mschdnics:
am not master Of language to express my graft
ficaton at this evidence of your friendship In eav
ing this place. and severng this connection that has
pleasantly existed for so long time between us,
a mere verbal expression of your appreciation would
have been most thankfully received.
But when you make me the recipient Of this cost
ly testimonial of your high esteem you have placed
me under many obligations for which few words
of thankfulnesS are but poor return.
Gentlemen, your magnificent gift, costly in mate
rial, and most beautifully designed, is rendered a
thousand times more valuable to me, knowing by
the inscription thereon, that it comes from you my
friends, with whom have been so intimately asso-
ciated the past five years, and friends not only re-
gard it for its intrinsic value but knowing it came
from honest hearts, and faithful and trusty hands.
Gentlemen, most of you commenced here on this
road with me, and testify to your faithfulness
and the interest You all have manifested for this
road, and If there is any credit DUE it rightly be-
longs to you for the good condition of the Shops,
Engines and Cars, and whatever credit may be due
me for devising and planning, the greatest part be-
longs to you for their successful execution.
Gentlemen. my intercourse with you has been as
pleasant as could expect, and have always found
you kind and accommodating to one another, and
always ready to assist at moments notice, and
ready to do your duty; and | have been highly
pleased with the mechanical skill and good judy
ment you all have manifested both in the shop and
on the road, and the many kindnesses have been
favored with, will never be lost sight Of
Gentlemen, your magnificent gift l accept with
much gratitude; and with the assistance of my bet
ter half | will preserve it with great care; and
wherever | am, or in what cline | may be located,
it will be one of the happest moments of my life to
gaze upon this beautiful present. and it will bring
back to me thOS. fond recoectons of the past, and
my prayers shall always be for your happiness and
prosperity.
Accept gentlemen, friends each and all of you,
my most sincere thanks.
We understand that the beautiful service present
ed to Mr. Roberts, was furnished by Mr.. Chas. II.

meet with hearty response and approval by every
true friend of North Carolina; and the re-omina-
ton of Hon. JOHN W. ELLIS, our present Chief
Magistrate, will be received throughout the length

of appreciation. Never before were the Democracy
of North Carolina more confident of success and
never before in the history of our State were our

That Sc Hut"

LA0b Aue
Mr.. EDITOR: AS much as / adj
miro your accustomed independent,
energetic, and honorable goa head-a-
tiveness, and Your uniform kindness
and Difference to the feelings and in
terests Of others, | am constrained to
take exception to a short editorial in
your last issue, in which you take oc-
casion from your elevated position, to
cast an unBind and uncalled for fling
at your neighbor across the street,
simply, | suppose because it has fallen
to his lot to occupy a two story build
ing, instead Of four story. Now it
seems to me that your neighbor Job
is a very worthy man, and his store is
very respectable building, and ought
not to be denominated ''hut. -
Knowing you, therefore, as ! think |
do, | apprehend that upon second
thought you will take back the excep-
tionable epithet, and apply it if need
be, more appropriately.
Yours, Old Abe.
We thank ''Old Abe /" for the above
communication, and inasmuch as our
friend Job figures in a position not
expected by us when we penned the
article in Question, we will make our
selves one Of his comforters. The
" hui" spoken of by us last week,
stands out in bold relief at the junction
of Union and Delevan Sts, and not
opposite the Press " establishment,
as many would make us say The
building occupied by our neighbor we
consider an ornament to the neighbor-
hood, but the hnt," Eve suppose. all
know what we allude to now is in
our opinion, an "eyesore," standing
as it does, in position to thwart the
growth of our town northwafd. 1t is
our candid opinion, that unless some
speedy measures are taken by the
proper authorities for the removal of
this barrier to our growth, some forci-
BILE means will be employed by those
interested.

Occasionally we have good enter
tainment visit this place, and no mat
ter how high may be its moral tone,

it failes to draw even respectable

strels, or an exhibition of low, bru
tai character make its way to this
place, and large and admiring crowds
are drawn to witness the performance.
We had in our midst last week, ar ex-
hibition representing scenes in Egypt
and Palestine, really in everyway
worthy of patronage and calculated
TO have good moral effect upon the
character of our citizens, but we are
sorry to say it was not Appreciated
We trust the managers Of worthy ex-
