by a flood of speeches attacking the Adminis

Abolition candidates were selected by that

THE RESULT.
We have elected Johu Page, Governor, by
a majority of more than SIX THOUSAND
showing a clear Democratic nett gam of
more tbauTHREE THOUSAND in one
year. We have elected four of the five Coun
sellors, ten of the twelve Senators, it being a
gain of two districts; and about one hundred
aud forty-two representatives out of 235 in
creasing the Democratic majority from eigh
teen last year, to fifty, in the popular branch
of the Legislature- We have elected our
whole ticket to Congress by about the same
majority as that for Goveruor, and the county
officers in every county exceptiug Cheshire.

was admitted and sworn as a Senator, upon a
certificate of election, signed by the return

GRAND ENTERPRISE.
A project of internal improvement has been
suggested to the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
which contemplates the uniting Philadelphia
and St. Louis, on the Mississippi, by a chain
of railroads. The scheme can, of course, on
ly be accomplished by the co-operation of the
intervening States. A railroad located be
tween these two points, would extend through
a distance of one thousand miles, and make
the most splendid thoroughfare on earth. The
project is equally feasible as magnificent.
The practicability of constructing a railway
through that region of country, cannot be
doubted, nor will any one call in question the
enterprise or ability of the people to effect its
completion. The passion for internal im
provement is spreading like a contagion, eve
ry where, aud soon we shall have these iron
roads stretching iu all directions over the
Union, connecting the most distant points,
aud harmony sing its discordant elemeuts in
to one great family of sister republics.

BELL and the POST-OFFICE
partment.
In all creeds there are ultras; and a good
cause is often injured by the zeal of real or
pretended friends. Something very like this
seems likely to happen to the anti-monopolists.
We, ourselves, profess to boloug tothie W
of politicians, and most heartily do we wish
success to their cause. We would go as far as
who goes farthest in all rational efforts to break
down all real monopolies. But we are for uo
ultraism; and still less, under the mask of
breaking down monopolies, would we inter
fere with and break down the healthful exercise
of the constitutional powers of our National
Government.
Yet such, as it seems to us, is the object of
Jlr. Hell, ot lennessee, m a recent move
ment of bis in our National Legislature. In
the House of Representatives, on the 11th of
February, "Mr. Beil introduced a series of
resolutions proposing to abolish th post office
establishment as a monopoly, and throwing
open the whole busi.iess to private competi
tion." This is what we should call ultraism,
and of the worst description.
We have no belief that Mr. Bell is, at heart,
an anti-monopolist. He certainly does not at
present find his political associations with
those who are. When, therefore, under the
guise of breaking down a monopoly, we see
such a proposition as this of Mr. Bell, ema
nating from otie who is the professed political
friend and co-laborer of those who are the great
advocates aud supporters of monopolies, we
distrust it. Like the rat in the fable, we "do
not much like that white heap;" and we are
disposed to be better satisfied with what it re
ally contains, before we give it our confidence.

What a noble contemplation to every lover
af his country is the recent chivalrous course
of the Leading Southern men iu Congress in
regard to the Maine troubles! Look at them;
they vie with the representatives of the East
iii their determination to stand firm, and sup
port the rights of that East. Clay, Calhoun,
Preston, Linn, aud others iu the Senate,
Thompson, Pikeus, aud others in the House,
all spoke of Maine and her rights with the
determination to support her as freely as they
would the fields of their owu sunny South,
whenever necessary. They forgot that the
East had sustained abolition they did not
look to themselves or their local interests or
sectional position in this matter : it was
enough for the South to know that the territo
rial rights of a sister aud sovereign State were
invaded by a foreign power, aud they rushed
to her aid. Alexandria Gazette.

of unceasing federal obloquy and ridicule.
President Monroe expressly refused to inter

was demanded by every consideration of jus
tice; and a due regard to their claims upon a
professed democratic administration, was the
late Chancellor Lansing. That Mr. V. B.

of Congress, a bitter and active politician,
with a precipitancy that denied all the applica

could be ascertained, as a most indefensible
procedure, is also very true. And so did Vice
President Tompkins, and Mr. Rufus King,
and the entire democratic delegation from this

the office in the hands of one of his creatures,"

We give below, the excellent remarks of
the Caroliua Watchman, upon the School Law,
passed by our Legislature!
The School Law. As this is a matter of
great miblic, couceru, upon which the people
will be called on to give their votes uext Au
gust, we deem it proper to give some expla
nation of the law as it was understood, by
those who passed it.
Although the Act prescribes that the dis
tricts shall bo six miles square, from the ex
pression "regard being had to the number of
children,' in such district, we think that the
law will permit a small departure from that
size, aud authorise it to be a little more or less,
as equity may require. The shape of such
district may be such as convenience may dic
tate. The sum appropriated, to wit: $4u was
fixed on because it was thought that there
would ouly be a few months between the time
the law's going into effect, and the meeting
of the next Legislature. The income of the
Literary Fund would have allowed more, say
about $lUOfor each district, but it was deem
ed Unnecessary to jjr hpynnH tht , ... tk
small portion of time during which it was to
operate. The next Legislature will uo doubt
appropriate more for each year ensuing its ses
sion. We have heard objection made, that
the size of the Disti icts are too large: this we
consider to be the fact: but it is to be remem
bered, that this is merely the beginning of a
system which it will take time and tar greater
means than we now have, to perfect. If Cou
gress shall comply with the reasonable request
made by our last Legislature, to give us the
same propoition of the proceeds of the Pub
lic Lauds, which" it has giuen to the new
States, we shall have a fund ample not only to
carry out the system proposed by this law,
but to complete other valuable schemes for the
improvement of the condition of the People.
In the mean time, we must begin as we can
hold on, and improve by degrees.
We have heard it objected, that this law
will operate hardly on the man who has no
children, or who has finished educating them.
To this we reply, that no law can operate
with exact equality, and therefore, we must
put up with a smali hardship for the sake of
the public good. But the man whose chil
dren are educated, may have grand children,
iu whose welfare he ought to be in some de
gree interested: and all have an interest iu
the diffusion of intelligence and good morals.
Some say the man of large property will
have to contribute more thau his proportion,
whereas the poor man comes in for a full pro
portion of the benefit. We reply to this, that
the poor man with a dollar iu his pocket has
to do as much to defeud his country, iu case
war should come upon thecouutry, as the rich
man with his thousands. The poor man's
son who is made by mental cultivation, fit to
discharge public duty, will he able to pay back
to the rich tax-payer, by acts of public ser
vice, it least, some portion of the amount ad
vanced; and we submit to a candid public to
say, if it be not a fact, that the most of our
best citizens and most useful men, are those
who have had to suffer hardest in the begin
ning of life? Give the children of the poor,
good plain educations, and the public will be
the gainers by it.
Some others say that the poor man ought
not to pay any thing, but that all children
whose parents cannot afford to educate them,
ought to be taught at public expense. They
who say this, forget that there are very few
among us so very poor as to be objects ol
charity, and of that few, most of them are
too proud to send their children as charity
scholars. The very feelings of children
even revolt at the sueer and tauut which such
a position brings upon them, from their
more fuvo.'ed play unites. On tin- o.her hand. vviicre

To the Chairman of the County Court of
County.
Sir:
The Board of Internal Improvements, by
the Act which created it, has a general su
perintendence over all the public improve
ments iu the State; for which reason it is high
ly important that the total amount of produce
of each county iu the State should be iu the
possession of, and known to, the Board.
i Such a mass of Statistical information would
I form a te.rt book of reference of incalculable
advantage for the successful prosecutiou of
the woiks now iu progress, and, if possible, of
I still greater importance to such as should
hereafter be recommended to the patronage of
the State and our citizens.
I By reference to the Fayetteville and West
ern Rail Road, the idea can be fully illustrated.
j The Board is very solicitous to carry into ef
fect the Acts ot the Legislature in relation to
this road; and for that purpose deem it of the
utmost importance that the amount of produce
whic h is likely to be transported on the con
templated road should be ascertained with the
utmost practicable certainty. It will be recol
lected that, at ihe session of 1S36 '7, an Act
was passed, authorising the Board to subscribe
two-fifths of the su:n which might be found
necessary to construct the said road, whenever
three-fifths should be subscribed by individu
als. This Act failed, from the want of the
requisite amount of individual subscription;
and that it may not happeii that the late Act
supplemental to the former one, which autho
rises the subscription on the part of the State
of ihroo fiiiho. u-hn individuals shall have sub
scribed two fifths, shall also fail, we request
information, that the public may have some
accurate data, on which to found the probable
value of the stock. Ihe cost of the road has
beeu ascertained by the survey aud estimates
of an Engineer; but doubt and uncertainty ex
ist as to the amount of transportation which
may be calculated on, and, of course, as to the
amount of profit which an investment in its
stock may yield. The Board are of opinion,
that the want of information on this point is
the chief cause of the failure of the subscrip
tion; for it cannot be doubted that the means
of the country interested are ample, or that they
would be applied, if it could be shewn that the
investment would be a good one; and until
this difficulty is removed, and the whole sub
ject laid fairly before the public, it is appre
hended that capitalists will continue backward
in making investments iu the stock. Owing
to the peculiar circumstances of the section of
country (in relation to its trade) which this
road is designed to accommodate, the ordinary
methods of obtaining the desired facts are not
applicable to it. Generally, the amount of
exportable produce of a country may be easily
ascertained at the market at which it is traded;
but the produce of this section is carried to the
markets of Virginia, North and South Caroli
na, and Georgia, and to their villiages as well
as emporiums: it is so diffused and scattered
abroad, that we must look to the groicer, in
stead of the purchaser; for a correct knowledge
of its amount. And the Board believe and
trust that an opportunity will shortly offer,
when it may be obtained without cost to the
State, or inconvenience to the people, and,
compared to the great benefit to be derived,
with very little trouble to the agents who may
be engaged in procuring it; and, thinking it
very important that the occasion should not be
passed by unimproved, have determined to
ask the aid of the County Courts, not ouly of
the counties which lie west of Fayetteville,
being those most interested in that road, but
also of all other counties to be preserved and
used as occasion may require.'
In stating the wishes of the Board, which I
w ill now do, the mode of obtaining the desir
ed information will be sufficiently explained.
The Board requests your County Court, at
its next session, to direct the Magistrates who
may be appointed to take the lists of taxables
and taxable property, to ascertain from each
person, at the time he offers his list, the amount
of produce he raised iu 1838; the market at
which he sold, or desigus selling it; to keep
lists of the same, according to the forms here
with transmitted, and to return them to the
Clerk, along with the tax lists, avho is request
ed to forward them to the Board as early as
possible. Iu making the appointment of mag
istrates for taking the lists, it is very desirable
that such persons only should be selected as
would cheerfully perform this easy, but rery
importaut task. All produce which is destined
for exportation beyond the limits of the Siate,
should be returned whether it is takeu oflT by
thegrowerora neighboring merchant. Wheu
these lists shall have beeu returned to the
Board, consolidated and made public, as they
will be, it is evident that a mass of the most
interesting information, touching the capacity
of the country to sustaiu the contemplated
Rail Road and all other works, will have been
obtained; and no one, who has spare money,
will any longer be at a loss to determine on

PEDIGREE.
FLATTERER was got hy Muley,
(son of Orville and the famous mare Eleanour,)
his dam, Clare, (bred by Lord Eremonl in
13-21) was !nl by Marmion, grand dam Har
palice by Gohanna, g-eal grand dam Amazon
by Driver Fractious by Mercury WcmmI
pecker mare Everlasting by Eclipse Hyena
by Snaji Miss Belsea by Rtgidus Hoiey
wfi d's A-abian Byerly Turk mare, dam of
he l wo True Blues.
Muley. ihe sire of Flatterer, was the best
Sred son of Orville, who was a winner of ihe St.
Leger, and a most Capital Stallion, having co
vered at as high as 521. Orville's is not only the
most fashionable, but is also consideied ihe best
stock in England. Orville is the sire of Emiliis,
coverino al 5 sovereigns, and, through him,
imp. Priam, covering in this country at 1 50
of Plenipo, covering at 25 sovs. (all three win
ners o the Derby) Oxygen, winner of the
Oaks ihip. Sarpeden imp. Merman imp.
Tranby, &c. Muley is also sire of Vespa,
winner of the Oaks of Muley Moloch imp.
Leviathan imp. Margrave, &c. Muley is out
of Eleanour, the best bred mareofhei day, who
won boih ihe Derby and the Oaks, and who is
the only nag that tias accomplished that great
was said m he Ihe largest ruined thorough-bicd
in ihe Kingdom, and to be equal to 20 stone,
(230 lbs!) is a horse of the largest size, full six
teen hands high, id immense power, large bone,
great substance, good action, long stride, sound
constitution, aud excellent temper. His colour
i.s a fine brown, without wlMte. It will be seen
that Irs pedigree runs hack to the famous old
English Eclipse, in an extremely short, and as
rich a lin as could he desired.
CO The extraordinary performances of the
three year old filly Vashli, by Flatterer's half1
iraher Leviathan, of Tennessee, at the Raleigh
and other Courses in this Siaie last Fall, and of
many others ofi hat horse's get at ihe South and
South West, recommend his Slock lothefavoi
able attention of breeders. Flatterer has proved
a very sure nurse.
