The election for Presidential Electors tikes place in this Stale on Thursday next, the 10th inst. The struggle will be an arduous one, but it cannot be doubtful un less Republicans are unmindful of their duty. To the Polls, then, fellow citizens! and let your watch word be, "Democracy expects eve ry niau to do his duty." From the Raleigh Standard. Judgt H'hite Abandoned. It would seem that at the federal de bauch in New York, on occasion of the visit of Gen. Harrison to that city, a certain young federal whig "in buckram," who hails from North Carolina, and wriles himself down, "Jo. Seawell Jones of S'iocco was among the re vellers as appears by the following extrart from a communication in the New York Evening Post. This "Jo: Seawell Jones of Shocco," is a resident of Nor folk, Va. itinerating over ihe country; and is the writer of a book called "Jones' defence of North Carolina;" in which all the stale slanders f the old federalists against Mr. Jefferson, are vamp'd up ane., and fresh calumnies pro pagated to dishonor the memory of tint venerated Patriot and De voted Apostle of liberty. Hut as slan'ler against distinguish Re publicans is a recommendation lo the ranks of the "new-born whigs," the Harrison-federalists of New York were perfectly con sistent in receiving 4Mr. Jo: Sea vrell Jones of Shocco" into their carousal "with three cheers," for he is a politician of their own stamp he is one of them. Dul will the "new-born whigs and nullifiers of North Carolina, thank this itinerant representative of their party, for letting "the eat out of the walietr" for blabbing forth, over his cups, what his fel- lo -whigs at hon.e are making such eft rts to conceal from the people for revealing ihe secret, that the nullifiers and their allies in North Carolina are readyand willing to go for Harrison, the no torious emancipationist, the tar iffite, and corruption-bank advo cate? But "when wine is in, ut is tut;" and then it is, that we may look for truth and candor from "whins" alias federalists and nullifiers. That Mr. Jones, while pnfTd upwiih (lattery am! mellowed with wine, ha& told the truth on his party, every intelli gent politician in the State knows full well, and every candid one will admit; for we now see that parly directing all their efforts to wards preparing their followers for a transfer from White to Har vion; we see them splintering up Harrison's reputation, trying tu excuse and explain away his odi ous emancipation schemes, his high-tariff doctrine, and his alien and sedition law federalism, with the hope of rendering him palata ble to the nullifiers, and acceptable to the Republicans of the South. Indeed, the leading nullifiers do not deny, that the idea of electing Judge While is totally abandoned by them, that Harrison is their al ternative candidate; arid as to the whigs, Harrison is their "first love," for they roll his old John Adams' federalism as a sweet mor sel under their tongues. But can those Republicans who have had an honest preference for Judge White, now that he is out of the question, suffer themselves to be transferred by the whig lea ders, like so much live stock, into the ranks of Harrison, whose eve ry sentiment is obnoxious to their long cherished principles? Will they submit to be driven into the political shambles of the federal whigs, there to be bartered away to aid the elevation of an emanci pationist and bankite to the Presi dency? We should hope that every honest Republican in North Carolina would spurn so impu dent an indignity, and abandon a party capable of making so base and corrupt a proposition. From the JVeio York Post. Evening "When Mr. Jones of North Carolina, entered the Saloon at NibIos, during the great Harri son debauch of last night, the wh'gs rose in a body from their seats and received him with three cheers. After this most gracious salutation he addressed them, and in the course of his address made one important disclosure which the Democrats of North Carolina might as well know before the November election. He admit ted and distinctly announced that the Whig party of North Carolina was ready to go for Hariison in the event of White being out of the question. Now he and all his party at home, pretend to the peo- ! pie that they have no one in view but Judge White, and that their electoral ticket is pledged to his support. Thus it is, you see, the people are tricked. One tvho was present. Rowan Superior Court. At the October lerm, Henry Swink was convicted of the murder of his wilV, and sentenced to be hung on the 25lh November: the prison er's counsel, however, prayed an appeal to the Supreme Court, which was granted by Judge Set tle. ib. Casualty. On the 5th inst. Douglass Hadeu was drowned in attempting to cross the Yadkin river, in a canoe, three miles a bove the point, Rowan county. He has left a wife and three chil dren. ib. (?Extrart of a Letter to the Editors, dated Washington, N. L. October 24, 183G. "1 have never known one-fifth the sick ness, since I have been living here 1G years. There have been, as yet, few deaths, in proportion to the number of cases, although they have been unusually severe. And, what is most surprizing, the sickness continues to this time, unabated. It would be much ea sier for me to enumerate tjiose who have not been, than those w ho have been and are sick. Raleigh Register. The Cotton Cultivator. This is the nan e of a newly invented machine, for cultivating Cotton in the early part of the season, and while the plant is small, a model of which is now being exhibited at the South. It ploughs the cotton on both sides of the row, and thins it out at the same lime! It will do the labor of from four to six bauds, and can be drawn by one horse and managed by one man. If it answers public expectation, it must be a valuable acquisition to the Planter. ib. Halifax Superior Court. The Jail term of Halifax Superior Court, was held here last week. Judge Strange, presided. . The- State Docket being full, Uie whole week was occupied in trying State cases. Among which; was the case of a negro man George, belonging to Geo. W. Barnes, who was charged with the burning of the Jail of this County. He was zealously prosecuted by the Attorney General, J. R. J. Daniel, and ably defended by Messrs. Iredell and Whitaker; and after a charge from his Honor, the Jury returned, and said they had not agreed. After a recap itulation of some of the testimony, and an explanation of a certain point of law by his Honor, the Jury again retired, and in a few minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. Susan Slate, was put upon her trial, for tiie murder of her infant child. The evidence was entire ly circumstantial, and no proof that the infant was born alive. She was defended by Messrs. Whitaker and Moore, with a zeal and ability which reflects great credit upon those gentlemen. Af ter a forcible fand lucid charge from his Honor, the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Joshua Jones, who was charged with a Rape upon Rebecca Mor ris, wns defended by Edmund Wilkins,) Esq. The proof in this case was positive, but the evidence of the w itnesses in behalf of the State was set aside in consequence of their notorious bad character; as such the Attorney General did not urge a verdict. The de fendant was consequently dis charged. Nuet Plumley, a man of color, was arraigned for the murder of Jacob Canady, an old man of col or; and on affidavit, his trial was removed to the adjoining Coun ty, Northampton. Halifax Ado.

Official. The office of Secre tary of War having become va cant, the President has authoriz ed aud icnpowered Benjamin F. Butler to perform the duties of that office until the vacancy shall be otherwise filled. Globe. Treasury Circular. Another panic has been raised. "Money is scarcel Speculators are unable to meet their engagements! Great evils are to happen! Icdeed, corn- merce is to be broken up, and failures must take place!" All this, say the whigs, is chargeable to the order of the Treasury, which requires payment for gov ernment lands to be made in the lawful currency of the nation. It is strange that even a credu lous public can be deceived on this point. The Treasury circu lar is not the cause of the present pressure. The public lauds are now principally entered by actual settlers. Are these settlers re quired to pay specie? Certainly not. What are the facts? Until lately, the banks discounted with the most unbounded liberality. New banks were created at the south, west, and east. Stock was sold at the eastern cities. In pro portion to increase of charters, bank bills multiplied. The facili ties for procuring money embol dened many to venture far; and hence, at this moment, millions and millions are contracted to be paid at a future day. An immense amount of paper is afloat for land speculations. A single operation will explain this matter. A town site is pur chased for a trifle, ami a great town is surveyed and marked out on a plat, sufficient to contain fif ty thousand inhabitants. Public squares are leiito beautify the ex hibition. Lots sell at $5,000 or $10,000 cash. Soon they rise from $100 to $500 a foot, and the plat is now worth half a mil lion, or perhaps a million. En gravers are crowded with applica tions for maps of new towns. The whole country is raging with this mania for city property. Now let us ask, who are the purchasers? The original pro prietors take a little cash and give much credit. Hence there must be an immense quantity of notes executed for the residue of the purchase money. Look at the growing west. See the new sites every where established. Look at the Maumee bay, where, for fifteen miles, property is estima ted by the foot, when the same was lately entered at the govern ment price of $1 25 per acre. In short, the country has over trad ed. A reaction was predicted, and is beginning already. It must take place. Every move ment which has for its object the acquisition of wealth in a moment, will hereafter be examined; aud all paper notes, whether they are signed by banks or individuals, will be severely scrutinized. The present pressure is occa sioned by over trading, induced and encouraged by corporations in their desire to make large divi dends. Without excessive issues, how can banks, limited to take six per cent, make twelve and fifteen per cent, dividends? The people understand this matter. It must be admitted that over trading is the general cause of the present pecuniary pre.sure,while theTrea sury circular has no connection with it, except in furnishing pro tection against unnecessary future difficulties. ib. Col. Lane. Together with other unpleasant Florida news, received through the Charleston newspapers, is that of the death of Col. Lane. A private letter was received in this city yesterday, staling that he had committed sui cide. This melancholy intelli gence, in which it was hoped there was some mistake, is now render ed certain. Colonel Lane had been advan ced by General Jesup to the com mandofthe friendly Creeks and a hundred regulars. With this body, it seems, he gallantly made his way to the banks of the With lachoochie, from Tampa Bay, to co-operate with Governor Call, who approached the river from the opposite direction. When he reached the river he found that Governor Call had retrograded to Fort Drane, to which place he had orders to follow. He suc ceeded in extricating himself from his difficult position, 'and about two hours after his junction with Gen. Call, at Fort Drane, termin ated his life by falling tipon his sword. The papers Teceived give ro light as to the cause of this dis tressing occurrence; not even a conjecture is offered. t"6. From Florid 'a. We learn from Capt. Place, of the schr. Medium, arrived this morning from Jack sonville that an express arrived at Black Creek on Thursday last, stating that Gov. Call had arrived at the Wilhlacoochy, and was prevented from crossing, the In dian force being too strong to make a battle. His guide, In dian Billy, had been killed. Gov. Call had captured G Indian Wo men and 3 children; lie had fallen back upon Fort Draue lo obtain provisions. We understand that a volunteer force of about 20 men had pro ceeded from Black Creek, with the purpose of intercepting a much smaller party of Indians, with a drove of Hogs, but were repulsed and had returned to Black Creek without effecting their object. Charleston Pat. DIED. In this county, a few days since, at an advanced age, Hardu Blow ers, Esq. for many years a mem- borol the General Assembly. COMMUNICATED.

He sustained the character of an honest man, a good neighbor, a tender father and humane master. For fifteen successive years he represented his native county in the Senate of our State Legislature. But he is gone and long will those who knew him best mourn his loss. Prices Cur rent, At Turban? and New York. OCT. 31. , per Tnrboro'.
