CyThe Washington Whig re
plies as follows to our invitation to
Join issue on t li e question, "Is Mr.
Pettigrew a Jjckscn man, or an
anti-Jackson man?"
"We have already told the Edi
tor of the "Tarboro' Press" hw
far Mr. Pettigrew is a "Jackson
man," viz: that lie will support
General Jackson when he is right;
but that he is opposed to all tiie
prominent acts of his administra
tion. His votes in the next Con
gress will decide. As to the mer
its of our ''songs" and his 'ser
mons," we propose, that our
brother come to Washington and
preach one of thi-m--say the
"M.mse Trap," and we will sing
our "song1 and the public shall
decide which is best. We leave
the appointment to him, and we
will ropy it in our paper."
Wonderful ! this is the manner
in which our direct and unequivo
cal assertion that Mr. Pettigrew
repeatedly declared himself to be
"a Jackson man," is met by thrjse
who ventured to charge us with
practising manocuzres to convey
the impression that he is a Jackson
man. We were satisfied that the
Editors of the Whig would not
hazard a contrary assertion, and
we therefore unhesitatingly bro't
them to the rack. We believe
that there is not now, and we trust
there never will be, any person
holding the dignified and import
ant station of a member of Con
gress, who will support this or any
other Administration "right or
wrong. " If Mr. Petligrew sup
ports (Jen. Jackson when he is
right, ve know we speak the sen
timents of the Republicans in this
part of the district when we say, J
that is all they ask of him. j wo lo ! consummation. Gen-

marriage, on the plea of lunacy;
and the jury found a verdict in
his favor, the evidence having
gone to prove the lady a lunatic

were unable, in all their research

granted by our Legislature two

some features objectionable to

a great want of public spirit a

IVooden Pavements. The sec
tion of Broadway, near the corner
of Chambers street, which his
been experimentally paved by our
cnterprisuifx corporation, with
hexagonal blocks of hemlock
wood, and then tarred and earth
ed over, is now complete. To
judge by the agreeable and elastic
movement of the carriage over.it.
and the absence of all rumbling,
or jarring, or dust, w e should de
cidedly give it a preference, if it
prove practicable, to all other
modes of paving. The blocks
are about a foot in length, near
half a foot diameter, set up per
pendicularly, aud closely wedged
together by solid curb stone, em
bedded to the same depth, aud by
median line of blocks running
lengthways in the centre of the
street, the whole structure resting
on a mass of solid stone pavement
beneath. As each block becomes
worn another may be inserted in
it's place, like the cubic plugs of
stone used in the streets of Lon
don and Paris. It is undoubted
ly very expensive, but will not
perhaps pro.ve more so in the end
than our present defective modes.
The experimental mode in ques
tion has been called Russian, on
what authority precisely we are not
accurately informed. A. Y.Star.
