WHICH IS RIGHT?
8,552 or 8,581 ?
The Governor's proclamation say9 that the
Taylor electoral ticket received 43,-121 votes;
and the Cass ticket 34.SG9. And all the news
papers of the State, except the North Carolinian,
have set down the majority at 8,5S1 ; but subtract
the lesser from the greater, and the majority is
8,552. We claim, according to the Governor's
proclamation, that 8,552 is the correct majority;
and it is a little singular, that while the columns
of all the papers fot up in accordance with the
Governor's proclamation, they have all made an
error of 29 votes in subtracting. The error origi
nated in the Raleigh papers, and has never been
corrected.
If the 31 majority in Yancy county was not in
cluded in the Governor's proclamation, add it to
8,551, and it makes 8,5S3, still making a discrep
ancy of two yotes, as compared with the majori
ty of 8,531
These errors are more annoying to people at a
distance than to home folks.
N. C. LEGISLATURE.
S. C. BANKS. A writer in the Charleston
Mercury says that all the Banks in that State
have taken to dealing in exchange, and no man,
not a favorite, can get a note discounted.
According to accounts, the Banks in North
Carolina are not discounting either. Every body
complains of the scarcity of money; and those
who are wont to look to the Banks for their sup
ply of the article, very often have to do without
it.
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
We are glad to sea in South Carolina, a grow
ing disposition among the people in favor of giv
ing the election of President and Vice President
directly to the people, instead of the present
mode of election by the Legislature. The sub
ject has been under discussion in that State, in

Another unsuccessful vote-for Engross

The hour of 12 o'clock having arrived,
the Senate proceeded to vote for secretary
of State as follows : For William Hill 41 j

After another unsuccessful vote for En

ed to superintend the Election of Secretary
of State, reported that William Hill hav
ing received a majority of the whole num

Another ballotting was then had for En

of the State. We copy a paragraph, because it
is written after our own heart:
From the Columbia South Carolinian.
By the present system, the Legislature
votes lor President and Vice President of
the U States; elects the Governor and Lt.
Governor of the State of S. Carolina, and
the Judiciary; it elect3 the Treasurers ;
the Comptroller General; the President
and Directors of the Bank of the State, and
various other public functionaries, who, it
is admitted on all hands, are or should be
the aents of the people alone, and not of
the legislaturethe mere shallow oi me
neonle's power, and which has no preroga
tive whatever, but what the people give it.
Now it is maintained by others, and we
maintain, that the legitimate and sole pro
per business of the legislature is to make
laws, and not to elect public officers, other
than the officers belonging to the two
Houses of the legislature. The legislature
is emphatically the law making power and
nothing more. That is the whole extent
of the meaning of the term legislature; a
body of men whose business it is to make
laws. The elective franchise belongs in
a pre-eminent degree, to the people; it is
their great privilege, and legislatures, pro
perly speaking, have nothing to do witn it.
i he people, if they had their rights, should
elect all the o fficers just named. They are
their agents; responsible to them alone for
their conduct, and they ought to be elected
bv them. This may be "called latitudinarian
doctrine pure radicalism; but while we
take this position, we are prepared to de
fend it; and we consider it susceptible of
a manly, sensible and unanswerable defence

Mr Courts, ot Rockingham, presented a
report from the committee on propositions
and Grievances, recommending the passage
Stokes " "Cobnry o'nts uit W .
Stokes, and the other Forsyth County.
Mr Stanly objected to the name proposed
for one of the two counties. He thought
there were many sons of North Carolina,
whom we had never honored , whose names
might appropriately be given to Counties,
and was opposed to going out of the State
to find names. Why, he asked, should we
go to Georgia after a name to give a County
of North Carolina ?
At this point of Mr S.'g remarks, Mr
Courts arose and said that the name propos
ed, was that of a son of North Carolina
of one who gallantly fought in the last war
with great Britain, and fell upon our North
ern frontier.
Mr Stanly then moved an amendment,
by "inserting this in the Preamble.
Mr Steele of Richmond, was not disposed
to vote on the bill until he had heard an
explanation of the reasons for division.
He hoped that some friend of the bill
would set forth before the House their ob
ject for desiring its passage.
Mr Ellis, of Rowan, presented certain
reasons which the Reporter did not dis
tinctly hear.
Mr'Satterthwaite, of Pitt, as one of the
committee to whom the bill had been re
ferred, went at some length into the rea
sons that influenced his support of the bill.
He said he knew there wa3 a jealousy on
the part of the East, in regard to the divi
sion of theIarge counties of the West,
arising from the fear that the representation
of that part of the State would be greatly
increased thereby. But in the present case
there netd be no fear, for he believed there
would be no increase of strength. The
county of Stokes having at present three
Commoners, would, in all probability, by
the proposed division, have only two that
part to be called the county of Stokes one,
and that part to be called the county of
Forsyth one. A strong reason, said Mr
S., why the bill ought to pass, is, that the
memorial is signed by over a thousand re
spectable citizens, and the fact that the di
vision of the county was made a test ques
tion in the August elections, and was fair
ly decided by a majority of the votes. The
citizens of the county complained of being
burdened, aud they ought to be relieved.
If the count v, as it now stands, oe a griev
ance, the bill ought to pass; and he for one
was alwavs ready to relieve the people of
a burden," no matter from what quarter the
petition for relief might come.
On motion of Mr Keene of Rockingham,
the memorial was read, and the bill passed
its second reading.
Mr Williamson of Columbus, presented
a bill in relation to entries on vacant lands
Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Mr Biggs of Bertie, presented a bill to
incorporate the Bertie Guards.
