The SpenkcrMlilp. [|
On Tuesday, tlio HIst ult., after n contest n>
running from the 5th December, the House of f(
"Representatives suoccjdcd in electing a Speaker. ai
The choice fell upon William Pennington, nn "
ohl-line Whig, but cordially Acting with tlie ,,
J51ack llcpublic.ins, and only less objectiouitbio m
than others of the tribe because coming from nl
the conservative State of New Jersey. It is ?
ol
noticnblc that a protracted contest for Speaker ,|
occurred in through the instrumentality t<
of this Pennington, then Governor of his State, w
k by issuing cominis.-ions wrongfully to tlio Whig |j
candidates for Congress, instead of the Demo- {(
\ cratic. The history of the late contest would tl
be i??lcresting, could it be had in catenae, na it a
Would reveal Congressional ami political lcgcr- ^

Clerassd of all his delegation. We presume ,,
tin risenna for this course ware satisfactory to ti
our Representative, and ws shall not attempt

Charloatan ljcfcttry, however,ds not so cousidcratc,
but finds the solution in intendod in- O
fluenee at the Charleston Convention. The *'

member, and promises to recur to the subject p|

Tb? Commissioners of lload* met at tlio Court
#W*, 011 salo-day, urgtnbtd under tin law of
4r appointment, uu>l proceeded to fix u ?uni
be proposed ie a vote of the tax-paycra as a
ibseriptfmi to the Urceuvilli (Tenn.) and
roncli IIroad Railroad. (wliith we prefer to
oignniv tliv .Wtitvru Fxtwnsion.) The-sum
>ei?le<l 011, iu consideration of the lilierul aid
oin North Carolina and anticipated liberality
om the State, war SlRO.lHK). Tho time fixed j
r the vote the 1-itli day of May next. The
md is therefore in motion so fur an our district
concerned. Sliull it go on, or shall it atop,
f rejecting the MtbM'riplioii ? It is for the
x-pit\era by tlicir votes to say.
A meeting on the same subject was held in
ie Court House, which was organized by the
point men t of llcnrv Dodd, esq., as chairman,
nl Maj. TYm. 11. Trimmier as secretary.
At the rctpie-t of the Cbniminn. James
arrow, Krrp, explained the object of the rocctg.
and proecoded to show the importance of
ie French llroad Itailroad to the people of tHit*
istriet and the State at largo. He showed
int the fnte of the French Broad Road depend1
upon tho endorsement by the people of the
tbscription of SltM.tMX) by the Commission's.
He ex]>luined llie provisions of the net,
ithorixing the Coium'sxinn-'r* to make a disict
subscription, showing that whatever
nount each chixen migiit pay would not be ns
ix money generally, but, on tlie contrary, a
thtcriptinu; that the T*i Collector was re- I
itired by the net to pive to each nmn n sepatto
receipt for l?i* railron<I tnx from that paid i
ir State ami district purposes; that ill is rcMpt
'\v?uhl entitle the holder by law to ro
well block in the French llroail Compnny. The
hole nnioiinl of t axe* paid .by our ilirtrict lust
ear war. Statu ta\ ?|t>,t?iU, district tax $7,
VI, making the uggjrcg.itc amount of $18,557.
he Commissioners ha\e rcrolvcd to submit to
le people the subscription of 6 lOO.lt' 0. Should
lir be ratified by the people, the subscription
ou'd be paid in bond*, payable 20 or 25 or HO
ears hence, ar the Comtitiesinnera may deteriin?;
and by the time there bonds would bojme
due the French l!r<>ud Iinilroad Compnny
ouhl pay them off, so that the people would
nly have to pay the Interest of that Mini every
ear, to wit: $7,000 per annum. Add this to
ic amount of taxes we now pay iind it would
inko $25,557. The tax wo would therefore
ay on account of (lie railroad subscription
oiild be 374 per cent, on our present tn\c<.
lence, the man who now pays a tux of SI.tat j
ould then pny $1.37J cents, mid the same in |
roporlinn for other amounts. The ravinp to
ic district in tlic sinple iir.icle of pork would
linost, if not entirely, pny for the anntiiil tax
ir the railroad subscription, without takiap
ny nccnint of the increased value to real cs- i
ite. caused by this railroad running 2tl or 27 j
liloi through our district, mid without Inking
tiy account of the development of our mineral |
ad manufacturing resources. .Again, the cost |
r that portion of the road which would ho in i
ttr district would lie, aocording to the estimates i
fthc Knginecr. within a fraction of $ 400.00M;
ie cost of the first division from Spartanburg '
> Columbus, X. 0., is SI5,403 per mile. <>f
liicb division about 20 miles arc in this dis iet
: this would make the cost of that part of
ie ror.d in our district to he $ 100,478. Hence
i our people the questio is. whether they will
lemsclvcs provide an annual sum ot $7,000for
few years, for the purpose of sconcing to them
elves and their posterity ?400,478? Whether
icy will vole to make this small subscription
f 374 cents on the dollar of their present taxes
>r the securing to our district nearly half a !
i/lton of dollars, to increase the wealth of our \
istrict, nnil go towards the development of
or now latent hut incalculably great resources ?
Iron laying unidc the advantages of having
inning through our district n great artery of
Ltnimeree like this would he, who can cstiuintc
ic advantage to our district of having $400,00
brought into and expended in our distiict,
> stimulate the various brunches of our indusV?
Mr. Farrow citel the action of the counties
1 North Carolina on the route of this road,
our counties, including The subscriptions hy
(dividual*, had raised for this enterprise $600,CK).
Two of these counties. Folk and Mndi">i?,
both small?and probably both together
ol c mtn'n'ng itt o?' third of either the pnpu- I
it ion or wcnlth of this district?had subscribed '
ich $60,000. The two counties of Buncomhc
nd Henderson, whose aggregate population
y the last I'nitcd States Census was < uly 20.78,
have mbscrtbcd $llKI,0t:0, being over
10.00 per head: while we, w ith a population nf j
7,000 inliahitaiits nnd wealth at least equal to |
aiucnmhc and Henderson together, are doubt
ig about subscribing $100,000, or $d.70 per j
ead?and that, too. when for every dollar we
ureclvcs would raise we would receive $< 00
-out other sources! nnd this ton, again, when
ic interest on this sum is all we will probably
vor have to pay! He exprc sed tlie belief
int the vote of the people on this question
ould either secure the success or seal the
ooiu of this enterprise: that whatever may be
ic fate of the proposed subscription, the time
ould cotue when all would acknowledge it'isdoin.
Gen. O. K. Kdwards followed in a forcible
ml happy illustration of tire advantage* of ifie
and, the ability of our di.-lrict to iw.iUe the
.ibscription without'cfubcrrasejiicnt, and the
eocssity for such liberality, if soever expected
dollar of aid from the State He avowed tl.o
pinion that the alternative presented us was
le Western Extension or the llluc Kidgc llail- 1
?ad. Olio or other would be built, and for bis
art lie planted luncvlf upon our own route, 1
lid was vvillintr to l-i.-k his mi .ii'.oi il v hcftirn ;

nit (lie honesty of his |>ui j???-o and the hold
ess with which he discussed the <|ucMion exited

ihcia tlint t!.c true policy of the district
as to vote the suhccriji int.
Mr. Hobo fell certain tlint the district would
olo the subscription, Their interest* reunited
, and he could no' cuinUin ad >uht of the tie- I
ision of t!ie people.
Kev. .1. (1. I.niidruin was culled out. He
lilted that at first lie wits opposed totlie scheme,
tit suh*e<|uent information ami roflcetion had i
perated u change id' views. The opinion of
iir late Representatives, thit the failure of
is extension would rcuiior certain further nprwprint
ions to the lilue Ridge, cut ailing greater
urdens upon the people, had determined hint

Those cppixoti to the measure were invited

Much may br .-aid of this tut mid Important
State, Its name is a problem. There are
lircc ways of pronouncing it. Ar-kun-nas,
Irjt-ausu* and Arkan-?<'te. Four-fifth* of its
-iliieus give it the last mentioned name?pro.
lotiiicing I lie but syllable n? if writtru "mr."
I'liis is undoubtedly the true pronunciation,
[t is uii Jttdinn nnme mid i.ot Spanish. und is
tilled after the principal tribe of its ahoiigiml
inhabitants, whoso name, like the Choctaw*
ittd Chickasaw*, was .1 rlitiiniri. It is said,
ilso, that an ancient British map of this re.
;iou has the name mi printed?" Akkantawa."
As regards position, climate, soli, and water
roinmnuieation. fet* portion* of tin-South hare i
equal ndvanluges. The proud Mississippi
iweeps its whole eastern coast. The Arkansas
pa-i.es almost diagonally through it* en tiro
lirctt'llli. Eastward of that is the long meandering
White lliver. On the west are the Sabine,
the W'aclmtH, <lie I.itllc Missouri and the Kid,
wiili their numerous branches. All them are
bordered with excellent lands. Its latitude is
very desirable?neither too far south nor too
far north. It is a cotton-growing region
throughout, and yet in most places well adapted
to the growth of grain and fruits. Any
kind of laud may be bad, from the heaviest
Mississippi bottom to the lightest pine barren.
Even these light land*, in uiost places, produce
remarkably well, there being much vegetable
matter mixed witb the *aml. Vast quantities
of all these lands arc every vear taken up.
Property i* rising in value with nstuuishing
rapidity. The price of negroes this year astouislies
even " thr and yet the products
of the soil, and the appreciation of other
property, warrant those prices. The future
high career of Arkansas in prosperity and influence
may therefore be set down as a fixed
fact. But is* present disadvantages arc neither
few nor small.

of its inhabitants come to it with but little
menus. They lmve had u hard time of it ; and
although tIn*v have acquired property, which i<
rapidly putting them ahead in the world, they
have hut few of the comfort i of life around
them, and but little to .-pare for public enterprises.
Its dire necessity is the want of roil,
roaifs. Several are projected, but like t'udjo's
project, they f-cettt to have been thrown " mijhlii
far ut!n l/it fuhtit." I'ntil Home of these are
completed, crops will be sent to market, sop.
plies will b received, and commuipcatinn with
ther places 1 e kept up. with much difficulty
and large expense.
Another difficulty is the irant of a rut'obU
iirulr'iir/ mrtliim. It is believed tlint the old
butch doctor, who cut off his patient's trtt to
prevent ihc'r having gout in their b?<*. lias many
desccn lant? in this State. These have taken
charge of il e affairs of State. To prevent
the evils of ti depreciated currency, they have
by lite State Constitution pre hided the existence
of banks! The con.set|Uenees of this snicid.il
hnrbarian course are: 1st. The driving
away of the bunking capital from the State.
"Jd. The dependence of Arkansas upon other
States for its funds. lid The substitution of
drafts for the tonics of banks, and the conse
picnt fattening of brokers at the expense of
the people! Such is e-jWi/jn in some men's
