1 he political opinions of Gen.
Walkup are
directly antagonistic to democracy. First a whig,
then a know-nothing, now an oppositionist, he has
fought against the party and principles which
have borne this country to its present position of
mreatness and prosperity, and now asks to bo sent

On the ..ther hand, Mr Craige has always been
a consistent democrat, and has pursued a course
in Congress unobjectionable to all, except to those
whose business it is to find fault where none exists,
Jle has been true to the South in every trial. His
votes stand recorded in favor of economy, against
protective tariff's, in favor of holding the public
lauds as a source of revenue, against the measures
of the opposition for squandering the public money,
::iid in favor of States' lliglits. We appeal to the
voters of Union, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Lincoln,
Catawba, and other portions of the District, to go
to the rolls on Thursday and vote for the man

MISREPRESENTATIONS.
During the canvass the Wadesboro Argus has
made statement upon statement without the least
regard to fairness, and the last issue caps the
climax in this respect. It says Uurton Craige
voted against Gen. Jackson ! This is not true.
The first vote Mr Craige ever gave was for Jackson.
, ,, ,
It says Mr Craige gets forty dollars per day as a
member of Congress, when the fact is the pay only
averages a little over $8 per day. It says Mr j
Craige is in favor of squatter sovereignty, when it j
is well known that he has repeatedly declared that
he was opposed to it. Such misrepresentations as

to show what a desperate concern the Wadesboro pantern by night. Yet, the General very lano- f inland 1854. Moreover, the Com

DISCUSSION IN CHARLOTTE.
On Tuesday last, the candidates for Congress in this
District. Hon. Burton Craige, democrat, and Gen. S. H. j
WalkuP hiSi had a public discussion in this place.
6 WCre ratified to see re lare audience present.
M . Cge opened tbe debate hy Pre3sine the ?rati"
fication he felt at having an opportunity to give an ac-
... ,7! M , M , ri.
count of his stewardship and defend his public course.
He had been in Congress six years, and not until the
present canvass had anv objection been raised to his
votes, and now only in three instances, viz: his vote
agaist distribution, (especially against the amend-
ment to tl,e Minnesota land bill in 1854.) against the
Pension Bill, and the vote in favor of the admission of
n " ,
Oregon. He declared that he had given these votes

that he was right ii
was opposed to it
in so doing As for distribution, be

rated bv a wbig Admini8tration. aud that the demo-

ways voted against it.
The Pension Bill was an unfair and unjust measure,
intended as an electioneering scheme, for which he aid
, , , , .
not and would not vote. It provided for granting a
life.j)en,ioll t0 aU persons engaged in the war of 1812
and the Indian wars of that and former periods, and
would have required an appropriation of $29,000,00"
lo P ,lie bin in operation, and an average an-
Dmi cjkpcuutiui c ui fo,vw,wv iut a nrioa w ten triii,
making a sum of about $103,000,000 necessary to settle
tlu ciaima arising under the provisions of the bill,
This vast amount of money, said Mr Craige, would
have to come out of the pockets of the hard-working
men of the country. Is it right that laboring men
should contribute from their scanty earnings to the
support of a class of men who are well able to take
care of themselves. There were many persons engaged
in the war of 1812 who are now wealthy, probably the
most of them in easy circumstances, and would it be
just to require the poor farmer and mechanic to pay a
higher tax that these men might have a life-peuson ?
The soldiers of the war of 1812 had not only received
what the Government promised to pay them, but they
had also received, in addition, grants of the public
land. The pension bill was unfair, because it granted
lensJons to ,he soldiers of 1812 and excluded those
Pr"na vvll were engaged in the Indian wars since
that time ami the Mexican war. Why were they
P X C I Vi (J t? tl
They were just as needy and as much en-
Uted to pengiona as others. But if this wholesale
(granting of pensions should take place, an effort no
doubt would soon be made to pension the civil officers
; of the Government, such as clerks, heads of DeparU
ments at Washington, &c. No one could tell where
the evil would end. Mr Craige declared that 110 one
would more readily go for granting pensions to those
who were disabled in the service of their country than
he; but he would never cc nsent to require the bard-
own living. He had votec. against the bill and would
do so again if it should ever come up in such an ob
jectionable form.
He had been censured for voting for the admission of
Oregon as a State; it was a free State, and therefore his
opponent thought ho ought not to have gone for ad-
mission, as sue uau noi me requeue pupuwuvu, iuc
committee to whom the matter was referred reported
that Oregon had the necessary population the Repre
sentative from Oregon said she had and he felt it his
duty to vote as he did. The Constitution did not pre
scribe any particular number of inhabitants for a State
previous to her admission, though it was contended
that she ought to have 9P,000 to entitle her to one Rep
resentative this number Oregon had. He wished to
preserve tlu Union as long as it could be done consist-
ently, and while he claimed that a State should not be
refused admission because slavery was recognized in
her constitution, he was willing to grant the same
privilege to one prohibiting slavery, other things being
right in her constitution. There was no more expe-
dilious way of dissolving the L nion than by refusing
rights to the North which we claim for the South. He
was opposed to dissolution, and in favor of treating all
sections with equal justice. Out of To Southern demo
crats who voted on the question, 57 voted for nduiis-
himself imnnf the number. Oreeron was renre-
seted in the Senate by conservative men Gen. Lane
(the Marion of the Mexican war,) one of the Senators,
was a national man, a true man, and a friend to the
South.
In reply to the charge against the democratic party
of extravagance, Mr Craige showed that the increase
of Government expenditures commenced during Fill
mores administration. Tor '51 and '52 the appropria-
, tions amounted to something over 40,000,000; for '52
and ,53 454.000,000 and over; for '53 and '54, up
WM appropriated by the last Congress of Fillmore's
term, and if too large, Fillmore might have cut it uown
by his veto. The expenditures of the first year of Mr
Buchanan's administration (amonnt.ng it is charged,
about $82,000,000) was the result of the action of a
Kepul)Hcan k;iow.nothing Congress of the year
precedinJ Banks, the abolitionist, was Speaker of

democrat than Mr Craige This was a jest, of course,
tb:lt Mr Cr;lige did not approve 0f all the measures
of the present Administration, and therefore was only
a half-handed democrat. He (Gen. Walkup) would
make a better Representative than Mr Craige, because
he would go for giving the people of his State their
share of the public lands; he would vote for the old j
pnblic
soldiers' pension bill, and had he been in the last Con
gress he would have voted against the admission of
Oiegon, for it was adding another free State to the
Union without the requisite population to entitle her to
admission. The democratic party, he said, was to
blame for extravagant expenditures, for it had a major
ity in Congress. He differed with his competitor as to
the amounts appropriated, and charged that the Gov
ernment expenses had run up to nearly $90,000,000.
The General failed, entirely, to offer satisfactory
proof of this charge. The democratic party was a
sectional party and ought not to' be trusted longer with
the management of the Government; if it was. the
country would be ruined and everything bursted up!
He called upon the people to elect him and he would
assist in putting things right.
The General spoke for an hour, but his remarks were
so scattering that we were unable to catch the exact
run of his arguments. We have no desire to boast,
but we presume all parties will admit that the General
is not half a match for Craige. He made a great many
grave and serious charges against the democratic
party, but failed to substantiate them.
Mr Craige replied in a speech of half hour, and the
General rejoined, but we believe no new points were
made.
Wc took no notes, and what we have written is from
memory. The discussion was conducted in a gentle
manly and friendly spirit, more so than debates of this
kind are usually managed. The impression created by
Mr Craige was very gratifying and entirely satisfactory
to his friends; that created by Gen. Walkup was, to
use the language of an old farmer who heard the dis
cussion, that he was a pretty good fellow, but on the
wrong track, with a rugged road to travel.
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.
The steamer Anglo Saxon arrived at Halifax
from Liverpool on the 30th, with dates to the
20th ultimo.
It is stated that both the French and Austrian
Emperors are convinced that the bases of the
treaty of peace were hastily made and in many re
spects impracticable. They ignore the interven
tion of neutrals in consummating the treaty. Some
leading English journals, including the Loudon
Post, attack the treaty.
A French corps of fifty thousand is to remain
in Italy until the reorganization of the country.
The Austrian army retains its position. Tuscany,
Modina and Parma are all highly dissatisfied with
the treaty. At Turin great exasperation and de
jection are displayed on the same account. Napo

Leavenworth City, July 20. The Kansas
Constitutional Convention has nearly concluded
its labors, and will probably adjourn to-morrow.
The Constitution is radically anti-slavery, but
differs from the Leavenworth instrument, in as
much as it does not extend the right of' suffrage to
negroes. The State Legislature consist of 72
representatives and 21 senators.
The business Committee of the Convention have
selected Topeka as temporary capitol, the city of
Lawrence being a competitor for the location. In
dications now are that the ratification of the Constitution-will
be vigorously opposed.

The New York Journal of Commerce publishes
Col. Yancey's Columbia speech, with the following
sensible comments :
"If Mr Yancey had desired (which we assume
he does not) to promote the prospects of Mr
Douglas, he could hardly have chosen a better
means of accomplishing his purpose than the one
which he has adopted. By attacking his positions
iu a speech to a Southern audience, and which is
printed in nearly every Southern newspaper, and
in attempting to oppose to them such extreme
views as those which he has undertaken to
maintain, a service has been done for Mr Douglas
which his "warmest friends and admirers could not
have hoped to perform."

ought to do so, and let thc public judge whether or
not they are '-leaders"! as they style them, or occupy a

for we know some who are going for Craige and who
still claim to be whigs.
In regard to the disunion speech of Mr Yancey, made
hire a few weeks ago, everybody about Charlotte knows
that the democratic party had nothing to do with it ;
it was the work of one or two friends of Mr Yancey, and
whatever -treatiug"' and "feasting" he got was from
a personal friend who is not willing, we understand, to
endorse his speech. Thc serenading was done by a
darkey band.
We say, without the fear of successful contradiction,
that the democratic party here condemn and disap
proves of such sentiments as those entertained by Wm.
L. Yancey, and is ready to condemn any one who en
dorses them.
The effort to make it appear that Mr Myers, a good
and true States Rights Democrat, endorsed Yancey's
speech, is a specimen fj the misrepresentations made
by the correspondent of the Argus. Wc stated last
week that the part Mr M. took was entirely accidental,
and that he did not approve of the speech or disuniou
movements or sentiments of any kind. In confirmation
of this we ask attention to the following card :

tation. The recent presentation, by me, of the Hon. . I J
L. Yancey, of Ala., on the occasion of a serenade to that rt g
gentleman in this place, has been used in a manner cal- j ilOIltC U pKUBivrn
culated to affect the election of thc democratic candi- j Th undersigned will let to the lowest bidder, on
date in this congressional district. Thc mere art of the I Saturday the 27th day of August, thc building of a
introduction at the time and under thc circumstances j new Methodist Church in Lincoln county, on the Road
was to my mind of the least possiole consequence, las it j leading from Reuttie's Ford to Vorkville, near the resi

not justly be construed into an approval by me, or by
the democratic, party of Mecklenburg;, of the peculiar
views entertained by that distinguished gentleman.
An
article in a late number of thc North Carolina Argus in
reference to this matter, and endeavoring to make the
democratic party responsible for what it calls a - dis-
union movement,'' is a tissue of misrepresentations from
hofrii.nino- tn pnrt connnrtt d for the nnrttose of maVincr
it appear that the democratic party of this section en
tertains principles adverse to the continuance and per
petnity of thc Union. The author of that article asserts i
what cannot be established by facts, when he charges
that the democratic party of Mecklenburg was in any
manner accountable for, approved of, or sanctioned in j
any way the resolutions purporting to have been passed
on the 4th of July. I do not believe that such resor
lotions were ever passed by any meeting here, or that
a meeting of that kind was organized. Certain it is, '.
no notice of such a meeting was ever given.
'If it will be of the least possible advantage to the !
author of the article in the Argus and his opposition
friends, I will take this occasion to say that I am op- j
posed to the African slave trade, opposed to a dissolu- j
tion of the Union, and will support the nominee of thc
Democratic National Convention.

ctteville Observer that thc culture of the vine is j
obtaining favor among some enterprising gentle
men of that section.
Of a vineyard lour miles
north of Faycttevillc, the Observer says
''The vineyard embraces 30 acres, all cleared
and under fence, and nearly all planted with vines,
from those set out the past Spring to two and
three year old vines. There are 4,000 vines al-
ready growing, most of them supported by stakes
and frames, and presenting a beautiful and luxu
liant appearance."
