Blow, Ellis, T. Bynum, W. Turner and Wood. Mr. Avery, of Burke, from the committee on In ternal Improvements, reported the bill to amend the act incorporating the Western Plank Road Company, with an amendment to strike out " three miles, wherever it occurred, and insert " one mile," and rec ommended its passage. Mr. Wheeler, of Lincoln, moved to amend by stri king out the 2nd section, which was agreed to, and the bill passed its 2nd reading ; and, on motion of the same, the rules were suspended and the bill passed its 3d reading. On motion of Mr. Perkins, of Halifax, Mr. Smith, of the same county, was granted leave of absence for eight days. Mr. Avery, of Burke, introduced a bill to amend the Constitution of North Carolina.

Mr. Saunders, of Wake, introduced a bill to abol ish jury trials in the county courts and for the more speedy administration of justice. Referred to com mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Saunders said the bill was introduced by him at the request of a f riend, but he was not prepared to say he would give it his sup port. The bill is the same one formerly introduced in the Senate by Mr. Washington. On motion of Mr. Reid, of Duplin, the bill to repeal in part section 31 chapter 102 of Revised Statutes concerning revenue was taken up and pot upon its 2nd reading, and alter some remarks by Messrs. Reid and Cherry, the bill was rejected by a vote of fifty one to forty-three. On motion of Mr. Lander the bill to incorporate the town of Lincolnton was taken up and read a 2nd time. Mr. Caldwell, of Lincoln, offered an amendment to strike out the 8lh line in the 17th section, which j was agreed lo. Also, to amend by striking oat the 28th section, concerning retail licenses, which, after some discussion between Messrs Caldwell and Lan der, wns rejected, and the bill passed its second reading. A message was received from the Governor in an swer to the enquiry concerning the repayment of the money advanced by the State in paying volunteers to Mexico, informing the House that Congress had authorized the payment of the money, but that it had not yet been paid. The communication was laid on the table. Mr. Lure, of Gates, introduced a bill to exempt a certain freehold from execution. Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Cooke, of Wilkes, moved to reconsider the resolutions passed last Saturday for furnishing the Halls; which was not agreed to. Mr. Caldwell, of Lincoln, moved to reconsider the j bill to repeal in part sec. 31 chap. 102 of Revised ! Statutes, concerning iIhb morning. Mr. Avery moved to lay the motion on the table. Not agreed to. The House then agreed to reconsider, and Mr. Har ris, of Davidsen, offered an amendment excepting lands lying in different counties separated by a river or large creek.

Florida is redeemed, and has elected a Demo cratic Governor, a Democratic Congressman, and the Democrats have fifteen majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylva nia have rolled up their Democratic majorities of thousands ; and the City of Baltimore the mon umental City swells the number of Democratic DR, H. M. SHAW. . The Raleigh Register of Saturday last contains the following mean and contemptible fling at Sena tor bhaw : " The Senate has again been the scene of an ani mated discussion upon the litigated Senatorial Elec tion in yamaenand Currituck. We were not present at any time during the debate, but we learn that it was conducted on the Whig side, with-most signal ability. The so called Senator from Camden and Currituck, himself delivered a prepared and elaborate speech ; but has since sunk again into the profound silence which preceded his gigantic and convincing effort!" We publish to-day the Speech of Dr. Shaw, re ferred to by the Register; and we leave it to our readers of both parties to say' if it is not a pointed and sensible effort, and conclusive on the subjects discussed. As to the " signal ability " on the Federal side of the Senate, all we have to say is, that we witnessed a display of little beyond a per severing effort to make party capital out of a mat ter which did not legitimately belong to party ; but in this effort gentlemen have been disappointed. The "indignation" would not come the people are satisfied that Dr. Shaw i3 entitled to the seat; he is in. it, and there is no power in the Senate which can turn him out. It is natural that the Register, under its bitter disappointment, should speak thus of Dr. Shaw. That gentleman is not moved, nor are his friends, by such slang. He spoke after he had been ad mitted to his seat ; if he had spoken before, the Register would have been the first to assail him for infringing the rules of decorum and propriety. We think it more than probable, whatever that print may say, that Messrs. Gilmer, Bynum, and T. F. Jones would have - felt much more comfortable if Dr. Shaw had not broken that "profound silence" by the unanswerable Speech which we publish today. revenue, which was rejected.' . , . ... - 0oj tu J j triumphs by a majority of 3,G84.

The will is completely "ken, and the iirnn.ri. i..:.. -. that,in some iustances, it fails to reach its destination Why should it fail now, and not at other times to reach our readers ? A friend writes from the East that the Scott leaders are suppressing Mr. Cling- ruarTs letters ; and he urges us to send him Presi dential Tickets in such packages, if possible, as will elude the attention of those who would detain them on the route. He says, " I expect to get but few Standards between this and the election. I speak from experience." We received a letter from a friend, a few days since, in the Southern part of the State, whose handwriting is known, which was just eight days in coming about one hundred miles. We are happy to inform the person who kept this letter back, that it arrived in time Pierce and King tickets have been sent, and will be voted on Tuesday next. Brother Democrats ! We know you are aroused to the importance of the contest, but are all things ready ? llave all j-our neighbors been talked to, and will they turn out and vote ! Be sure to attend at your respective precincts early on Tuesday next, with a full supply of tickets, and work till the sun goes down. If you cannot get printed tickets, write them you will find the names of the Electors in the Democratic papers. Poll your FULL STRENGTH, and the victory will most certainly be yours. E3T We are requested to give notice that there will be a Democratic Mass Meeting at Laws' Store, in this County, on Monday next, the 1st instant. Capt. John F. Hoke, W. VV. Avery, Esq., and oth er distinguished speakers, are expected to be pres ent. There will also be an outpouring of the Democ racy at Clement's Mill, in this County, on Saturday next. Able speakers will be in attendance. If the Wake Democracy will only put forth their whole strength, they can give Pierce and King 500 ma jority. B3? The Raleigh. Register suppresses the fact that General Scott recently called on William H. Seward at his residence in Auburn, and that Sew ard presided at a dinner given in honor of Scott, and toasted him. A LIE BRANDED. A Correspondent of the Greensborough Patriot writing from this place, says : " The vote of the locos in the Senate, confirming Dr. Shaw in his seat over John Barnard, upon the evidence they h ad, is with out a parrellcl in the annals of legislation. And so sensible were they of their guilty conduct in this matter, and the great wrong that they were doing to Mr. Barnard and the people of his district, that all of them, except George Bower of Ashe, could not but show it in their actions, and more particu larly in their faces. Some screwed and twisted in their seats ; others turned red as scarlet and threw up their heads in stubborn defiance ; while the more conscientious and honest of the clan turned pale, hung their heads in confusion and shame, shut their eyes and went it blind against right and jus tice, for the party." The Raleigh Register makes extracts from this letter, and calls them " pungent truths." We pro nounce the above a lie, deliberately penned for the Greensborough Patriot. There is no truth, in it. and the Correspondent knew it when he wrote it This is strong language, but it is necessary under the circumstances. It is a peculiar feature in Scott- Seward tactics to abuse and defame leading Demo crats for a faithful performance of duty ; and we are determined, so far as we are concerned, that these malignant defamere shall be branded as they deserve. We understand that the delegation from Chatham came into town on Thursday morning, consisting ot 1 six persons in a wagon, witnan accorueon ana name as the mu6ic, ' Blow ye the trumpet,, blow." Fayetteville ' Carolinian. The foregoing from the Carolinian (by the way Mr. Ilaughton was at the Fayetteville Mass Meet ing,) is almost equal to certain performances of Mr. Haughton and his friends in Chatham. To give our readers some idea of the "Scott enthusiasm " in Chatham, we may state that the Whig Sub Elector, John H. Haughton, made two appoint ments recently to address the people in different and opposite parts of the County. At the first place he had nobody to hear him, except the friend or two who went with him, and at the other place only one other ; and it is said that a passer-by, who saw them posting up Scott pictures, took them for Circus men, and asked them when they intended to have their show ! So much for the " enthusiasm " now for Whig modesty. We learn that the same Sub-Elector went to a Regimental Muster, and claimed the right to speak first, or, as he said, the right to draw straws for the privilege of speaking first, nor would he yield it until after putting it to a vote, ine people votea aown his proposition to draw straws, and then he objected to the time prc posed by Mr. Rencher to speak, which was an hour and a half, and put that to a vote also, and was voted down by an overwhelming majority. The truth is there is no genuine cnthusiam for the Seward candidate, and Tuesday next will prove what we sav. THE MEETING AT AVERASBOROUGH. We learn that the Democratic Mass Meeting at Averasborough, Cumberland, on Thursday and Friday last, was very largely attended, and that the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. That sterling Democrat, John C. Williams, Esq., presided, and speeches were delived by Perrin Busbee, Esq., of Wake, by Col. William McNeill, of Robeson, by Robert Strange, jr., Warren Winslow, Jesse G. Shepherd, C. G. Wright, M. McDuffie, and J. Spears, Esquires, of Cumberland, and Mr. Johnson, of Sampson. An excellent Barbecue was furnish- eu uy me citizens ot Averasborough and vicinity, under the superintendence of D. J. McAllister: and 7lir!l)i1f triA iviai!- . "1 1 vw.jj iuo iuecLuig a pyramid, oi cakes was pre sented by the ladies, who, we learn, favored the meeting with their fair faces and their smiles to cheer and animate the patriotic supporters of our noble candidates. The Democracy of Cumberland and Wake are thoroughly aroused, and will give the very best ac count of themselves on Tuesday next. JT Duncan K. McRao, Esq., has written an interesting letter which we find in the Goldsboro' Republican and Patriot, in reply to a letter address ed to him by Col. Thomas Ruffin, making inquiries as to the manner in which that portion of the De mocratic platform in relation to the Slavery ques tion was incorporated in the series of Resolutions reported by the Committee, of which Mr. McRae was a member, to the Democratic National Conven tion. We quote as follows from Mr. McRae's letter : " After a draft of the platform was presented to the committee a discussion arose which extended to al most every member of the committee. When I took part in the discussion, I expressed some objection to the eighth resolution, because I preferred other lan guage than the language used. I stated to the com mittee that the South felt deeply the wrongs she had suffered in the past; that her only hope in the future was upon the Northern Democracy ; that she looked to that Convention, both in its platform and nominations, for a realization of these hopes ; that unless the Northern Democracy were willing and determined to place themselves on a national basis, it was a useless consumption of time to continue the session of the Convention. For I assured the com mittee that so tar as North Carolina was concerned, while she had maintained her position on the com promise and the slavery agitation generally, with less noise than some of her neighbors, she had done so with equal firmness and perhaps more consistency. She would now enter into no organization based on any other consideration than a total cessation in fu ture from all interuiedling in our institutions. That if the North was not prepared to pledge this on the record, North Carolina would act upon her own re sponsibility. lhe mover of the resolutions then asked me what I desired, and handed me the resolu lions to make such amendments as i wished. There were several representatives from the free States standing by, who each assured me that their desire was to accede to a platform couched in the strongest language ine ooutn wouia irame it. X took the 8th resolution, and striking out a part of its phraseology, i engraiiea upon it ine language it bears. 1 objected to the ter.n "acquiescence in," for it was supposed by many Southern representatives that this implied some degree of approval of the measures in their original passage. I therefore struck this out and in serted "abide by and adhere to," for the reason that the nrst term would commit the South to the mainte nance of the compromise for the future without refe rence to past opposition, and the latter would ensure the support of the ' fugitive slave law" by the North without modification, and would prevent the appli cation of the Wilmot Proviso" or any other re striction upon any territory that might apply for ad mission into the Union. The resolution pledging the party to discountenance all future agitation was then drafted. At this moment the member from New York, I believe Mr. Murphy, remarked to me that he was anxious to have the platform as strong as the South desired, but that his delegation were sitting in the next room, and he would take the resolutions and ascertain their sentiments ; when he returned he informed me that the Xew York delegation unanimous ly approved the resolutions, and they then passed the committee by a unanimous Northern vote, and but one Southern vote against them. You were present in the Convention and know how false is the state ment of opposition there." " Scoll leads the Column." "Forward, the whole" MIL E R ' T Raltigh Register.

VALUABLE MIULS FOR SALE, j THE NEUSE RIVER OIL MILLS, about 9$ miles Northwest from the City of Raleigh, and three miles irom tbe Kaleigh and Gaston Rail Road, and about thirty acres of land attached, lying on both sides of Ncuse River, will be sold at the Court House door on the ard Monday of November next, being the 15th day ol the month. These Mills Lave undergone extensive repairs dur ing the present year, and are now in excellent running order. The machinery of the Oil Mills is of the most improved kind, and they will easily produce 10.000 gal lons of cotton seed, flax seed, or castor oil oer annum. There is also one of Carver's largest size cotton gins at tached and a cotton screw. The Gbist Mills, rnnning two pairs of stones, have a large and steady custom. The Saw Mill entirely new. running with Hotch- kiss wheels, is surpassed by very few in the countrv. while there is no difficulty in selling on the vard. everv foot of timber they can cut. A rare opportunity is presented for a safe investment in a profitable business. Further information will be given on application to the Superintendent at the Mills, or to WM. J. CLARKE, Raleigh, N. C. September 15, 1852. 99 3T We learn from the Carolinian that the Whig Mass Meeting at Fayetteville, on Thursday last, was a " grand failure." The President of the North Carolina Railroad Company, it seems, is still in the field for the Seward candidate. He spoke on the occasion. The Carolinian says, " Gov. More head's speech was not calculated to do him much credit. We did not hear the speech, but are in formed that it was very abusive." Perhaps Gov. Morehead would like to see the Whigs again fully in power at Washington, bo that they might raise the duty on Railroad iron. Logical. The Scott papers have struck a new vein of logic. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Florida have just gone for the Democrats, and therefore they are certain for the Whigs next Tues day. We expect to hear them arguing next that because the sun rose iu the East to-day it will be certain to rise in the West to-morrow. We have the latest intelligence from Eu rope by tbe Europa. The political intelligence is not important. On the 9th, at Liverpool, the cot ton market was slightly depressed, but quotations show little change. No change in breadstuff. Rosin had advanced, and turpentine steady at former rates. Laughable The attempts made by the Reg ister and its correspondents to produce the impres sion that Mr. Ransom Aas got the advantage of Mr. Branch, in discussions before the people. More Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated Wilkes County, Oct. 15, 1852. " I have just finished reading Clingman's letter. It is excellent. It makes Seaton, ot the Register, twist and curl in fine style. Why don't he publish the whole of it, so that his readers may judge for themselves. Marcus Erwin is doing good service in the cause of Democracy and State Rights in the mountains ; and I hope Clingman will take the stump when he gets home. The Hamptons ville Scott meeting was to commence yesterday. Last night the stage passed there, and had a Whig and Democratic passenger on board. Jhey both told me they saw no " encampment and nothing else 1 know of just twelve men and a few women and children, who have gone to it out of five miles square around here. You may listen for another 5,000 out of this affair too, as of others. I honestly believe, if you will draw a line North and South with the Eas tern boundary of Stokes, that bcott will not come within 5.000 votes West of it, of Kerr's vote in August last."

Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated Lincolnton, October 20, 1852. ' Burton Craige, Esq., the Elector for the second District, is doing valuable service to our cause. He has spoken several times, and has excited much ardor among our friends. He met Boyden at Newton, and I think got much the better of him. The discussion lasted most of the afternoon ; and at its close the Democrats were all life and animation, and the Whigs correspondingly depressed. Yesterday Mr. Craige spoke here to an attentive crowd, and was not replied to, Mr. Boyden not appearing. This after noon he starts for John J.

He arouses the warmest enthusiasm among our friends wherever lie goes.1' Extract from a letter to the Editor, dated Granville Count v, Oct. 22, 1852.

He assured me that Stanly County would give Pierce and King an increase on Gov. Reid's vote." Escape of Fugitive Slmves. Sanpuskt, Ohio, Oct. 21. Great excitement has been prevailing here in consequence xf the escape of a number of fugitive slaves, who arrived here last evening from Kentucky. They were on their way to Canada. On reaching this city their friends as sisted ftiem to the steamer Arrow, and immediately on the departure of said vessel an attempt was made to arrest them, which failed. Citizens of both colon interfered to protect them, and finally succeeded in effecting their rescue from the police who were en deavoring to bring them ashore. A very serious struggle ensued, and the slaves finally eseaped en route for Canada. The citizens are charged with a J want of disposition to execute the law. 99 5 1. LAND FOR SAIB NEAR RALEIGH.
