The Governors and the President.

different States of the Union, six only are
Democrats, while thirty one are Republicans.
The names Of the Democrats are Haight of
California, Salisbury of Delaware, Steven
son of Kentucky, Bowie of Maryland, Ran.
dolph of New Jersey, and Hoffman of New
York. The names of the Republican Gov.
errors are, Smith of Ala, Clayton of Ark

when we count the millions that compos,l

thusiasm, and We feel as il We were indeo |
invinciblc by any power that might b |
brought against US, Yet this magniticet |
result has only been obtained by sacrifc
and suffering, and by strict pursuit of
principle, and by assigning truly good nd |
wise men to exalted positions. This is The
only pathway to victory, and it is the tIty
OF every true Republican in North.Caroina
to write the lesson upon his heart and b re

We clip the following sensible extracts
from the Charlotte Democrat, the first having
been placed at the head of published por-
tion of the late proclamation of insurrec'
ton. The Democrat forcibly says:
I'VE find in the Raleigh papers the fol-
lowing Proclamation of Gov. Holden in re-
gard to the outrages of disguised persons
in Alamance county A few bad men are
causing much trouble in several localities,
and the result is that one county, Alamancc,
is declared to he in n state of instruction.
" Whenever the Militia is sent TO or called
out in any County, the tax payers of that
county have to pny the whole expense, and
therefore a few violent, spitctul, vindictiyo
individuals may cause great deal of trou-
BILE and impose heavy burdens on the inno-
cent portion of the community For that
reason we have felt it duty to rebukc the
violent spirit manifested in certain quarters
and warn the people against following the
lead of men, who will sooner or later involve
them in terrible difficulties"
In an amicabe answer to an article in the
old North State, the same paper thus defines
the meaning Of the term moderate man:
What is meant by moderate man is
one who discards villifcation and abuse,
and uses fair and deliberate argument to
convince his opponents of their errors-to
convince the people that they ought not to
cooperate with Radicals of any sort. We
care nothing for II new party or for third
pnrty--we are for good men for Office and
for pcacc-for doing all we can to build up
the broken down fortunes of the Southern
people. Let us have peace, and prosperity
will soon crown the Nottingham Efforts

A Bill to aid In the Construction of the
Western Division of the Western North
Carolina Railroad.

We have noticed with regret the dispo.
sitiOn ON the part of some OF our friends in
the Senate to delay the passage of the fore
going bill. We regard it as a wholesome
measure, and one eminently practical and
deserving the favorable consideration of the
Legislature.
The bill provides for the appointment of
Commission of five gentlemen (western
men, enjoying tho confidence of that imme-
dato section,) whose duty it shall be to
make settlement with the oiiicers-past and
prcsent-of the Road, and take in charge
the assets of the Company in tho hands of
the said officers, and place the same in some
safe Bank, to he used only in the construc.
ton of the Road, and after causing all Just
debts of the Company to be paid, then from
time to time to sign joint order with the
President and Board of Directors for the
payment for work done in constructing the
Road, on certified estimates to contractors.
This comprises the whole of their duty. The
bill docs not contemplate or propose to
place in their care the management or di-
ltNANl W wv "'iNs 'hA w iNhNt AlhN, rs
heretofore, under the original charter, in the
control OF the Board Of Directors, whose
duty it is made to prosecute the work in the
same proportion on one branch ot the Road
AS the other, so that there can he no par
tinlity shown by the Commission on that
score, us we have heard intimated.
We say frankly to our friends, that we
think this matter deserving their support,
without regard to party, and that the bill
ought to become - law. Our Western friends
merit this much-and more, and we arc in
formed, that regardless of party affiliations,
some of the prominent men of that section
and OF other sections If the State. who de-
sire the good only of all concerned, have
agreed upon this measure us the best that
can bu done under the circumstances. BY
all means, We say then, let the bill pass and
become law, and thereby enable those
gentlemen interested to ave what they can
from the wreck, and at the earliest possible
moment build their road, thereby enabling
MS to make through connection with the
West, anil enhance the value of property,
not only in that section, but in the entire
State

The Legislature of Virginia has passed
n law, enacting the following oath of Office
81, -- -, do soemnly swear (ol
affirm that Twill support and maintain the
Constitution and laws of the United States
and Constitution and laws of the State OF
Virginia and that / recognize and accept
the civil and political equality OF all men
before the law, and that | will faithfully
perform the duty of - to the best of my
ability. So help me God"
We would respectfully refer the Demo.
cratic leaders of this State to that part of
the foregoing oath relating to equality"
How do they like it And yet they de-
clared Gov Walkers election to be Dem
ocratic triumph! What do they think of
his Legislature now!
In relation to the matter of mileage and
per dicm, the Richmond Wing OF the 12th
says
1.-THE Finance Committee have prepared
and will report IN the Senate to- day bill
fixing the per diem Of the President OF the
Senate and Speaker of the House at $40,
and the members Oi the General Assembly
at 81. The bill also fixes the rate of mileage
the nearest mail route"
The only difference in the pay OF our
Legislators and those of Virginia it seems
will be, that their members arc paid ten
cents per mile, and ours twenty cents.
Here is another nut for the Democrats TO
crack.
We clip the following from the Peters
burg Courier:
"Sincc the first of January 5,07G negroes

The first colorcd Convention ever held in

Commission was ordered by the Senate to

for an extension OF time until the 12th,
which was granted, when they made full

of time. The Senator from Mecklenburg in

an indefinite period, without their request

the Senate ordered that the Commission be
