l!Lrrr .rZZZa were driven to the on that Dioouy . direful necessity of fighting for hcii lu c and for the lives of their blcedi g vcs Ind infants. Yet Mr. Stanly is the v r idol of the Whig party m this distiict. .Heistruetotheouth-pthe champion of Southern rights-say they, and all the truths that have been recorded or spoken of his words and deeds in and out of Con cress by the Democrats, are "lies" & noth ing but dici"--the journals of Congress, and the cars of more than a hundred men to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Stanly may refuse to vote for anti abolition resolutions, having for their pri mary object the prevention of a second Southampton massacre, the desolation of North Carolina in common with the rest rko smiiUnrn stylos: the conversion of the green and delightful fields of the entire South into one common grave yard by the Abolitionists of the North thro' the agen cy of negroes, set upon us like so many hell-hounds with torch and with knife, to bum and to butcher without mercy and without discrimination. Yet Mr. Stanly "is true to the South" "a Soulhernman" strongly attached to Southern interests, "a slaveholder" to boot, (strange to tell!) and therefore how dare you, you "cast away intemperate wretch," to "charge" Mr. Stanly "with being an Abolitionist," in the "character" of a "drunken Loco Foco" as you are. Mr. Stanly may abuse the Republicans, the farmers, the laborers, on whom the perpetuity of this Republic de pends, with "his biting sarcasm and with ering invective," and "consign" them (no doubt would if he could,) "To their grave, To bitter scorn a sacrifice, And to grinning infamy." And in the same breath may defend old John Quincy Adams, the peerless Prince of Abolitionism, and eulogize him to the very skies in the adorable language of a worshipper of the Deity, thus: "His latter days arc his better days" because of the zeal which he man ifests in the emancipation of the African tribe of the South. What else can consti tute the "latter days' of this old wretch, his "better days" in the estimation of Mr. Stanly? And yet Mr. Stanly is said to be the most fit individual in this district to represent the people composed chtcfly of Republican farmers, laborers and slave holders. Here then, Mr. Editor, is a sort of what shall I call it? heterogenous com minglemcnt of contrarieties, either of folly, of knavery, or both combined in the po litical conduct of Mr. Stanly, which in my humble opinion constitutes such a splendid Salmagundi of abolitionism, that even a Tappan or a Garrison could sit down to a dish of it with no lack of appetite. It really does seem that Mr. Stanly can 3o "no wrong" in the eyes of the Whigs. Why not then, 0 ye would-be lords and nobles dub him "His Ma jesty, the King," at once? He has proclaimed himself "a Conqueror," it now devolves on ye to stick a crown of some sort (if it be of Af rican wool,) on his would-be regal pate as a reward for the invaluable services, he has rendered ye. Yet, I think I can discern in this most extraordinary, most unprece dented man-worship, on the part of the Whigs of this district, something not truly genuine, something not altogether iiSimo?i Pure.yy There is no little pretence in their ridiculous homage. The fact is they do not, they cannot in every sense of the word "approve of Mr. Stanly's course" in Congress. His pitiful abolition preva rications, his contemptible fawning syco phancy, cats-paw imbecility, mawkish twatlle, blustering, bullying milk and water tirade, showeth qualities in the 'little would-be" again misreprescnlaiive of the people of this district, so very differ ent from those of a profound independent statesman, that the Whigs with all their nretended admiration of their "Conque ror," would very willingly shufile him off for an humble "supplicant in the charac ter of some other Whig of less impudence and more common sense, provided they could do so with any sort of success to the cause of whiggery disrobed of abolition ism. But alas! the Whigs of this district will find it a difficult matter to disconnect whiggery and abolitionism without a seri-j ous curtailment ot their power. lhe Whigs of the South and West arc depen dent upon the abolition Whigs of the North and East for success to the cause of Feder al whiggery in general. They must ne cessarily be united, or a total wreck of the party will be the inevitable consequence. lAhnlition therefore is the ligament which unites these political Siamese Twins j No it cannot be possible that any man or set of men, who are native born citizens of the South (however whiggish they may be) can "approve of Mr. Stanly's course in Congress," however much he was actu ated from necessity or from fear of the 'Northern Whig lash. Those who say they "approve of his course," cannot be sincere. They cannot tell the truth; un less it be that kind of truth pe culiar to Whiggery, a "lie." But Mr. Stanly is a a "rue blue'1 Federal Whig, and that is a condideration with the party which overwhelms every other. He is in favour of Banks "in general," and in fa vor of all matters and things" connected with Banks. He is in favour of all Whig contrivances and machinations to cheat la bor out of its just reward. He is in favor of monopolies, exclusive privileges, and for aukjju 1 know to the contrary, Unttenden s, l 1. T ... J Tl r r tt -i i uaw, n is m iavor oi nenry uiay for President, in lieu of Martin Van Burcn. He is in favor of Clay's Mammoth Bank of 550,000,000 capital, his odious American System, the Tariff upon the back of that. In "short, he is in favor of every thing per taining to Henry Clay, another avowed abolitionist. He is in favor of every ene my of the poor and every measure calcu lated to make the rich richer, and the po jr poorer. He is opposed to the Nation id Treasury (nick-named the Sub Trcasu ury,) conseqnently opposed to the people's usino- their own money for their own purposes. He is for subjecting the people to the government of banks, instead of a government of their own. In truth he is for rivcttingthe bank yoke upon their un willing nocks and convert them into mere beasts of burden for the convenience of the aristocracy of wealth and education. Thee are virtues in Mr. Stanly more than suilicient to counterbalance all his faults and foibles," in the eyes of the Whigs. They expunge from their memories every political fully and transgression of which he has been guilty, and for which he stands "solitary and alone" without a rival. His abolition sins are all blotted out of the Whig calendar by his predominant aristocratic virtues, and "A Beaufort Votcr" and the Whig organ at Washington arc shameless ly endeavoring to blot them (together with his electioneering vagaries at Tar boro') out of every other c dendar by their mighty process of truth-telling in the shape of "lies" and denials. Mr. Stanly may go to Edgecombe and in sult its democratic citizens in a braggadocio tirade "Pice to face, eye to eye, and hilt to hilt," "in thespiritof a Conqueror," still the fact must not be published in the Tarbo i o' Press. It is a '-little misrepresentation" it is a "lie," the testimony of more than a hundred listening "winking LocoFocos" of strict veracity to the contrary notwith standing. And moreover Mr. Stanly may goto Edgecombe and propose bets to the people oi 'S 1000 to 55500," on his own election, either for himself or in behalf of his black leg brethren below, and have the money staked, (not bavins it himself,) and his treat bill cashed besides, by the Aris cracy of the "Regency" county. Still these facts must be kept in the dark. They must not be suffered to cross the line of Edgecombe. If they do, the Whig or gan instantly strikes up to the tune ot a"lie" In the loudest deepest thunders of the bass or rather baseness of that discordant instru ment, echoed back in the accordant harmo ny of "A Beaufort Voter." Mr. Stanly is among the loudest in crying "wolf, when there is no wolf ' lie is among the hoklest in barefaced falsehoods in regard to the ex penses of Government under Mr. Van Bu ren's administration, swelling the amount by a process of misrepresentations from a bout 315,000,000, the actual expenses of Government, to the enormous sum of $3S, 000,000, for the purpose of deceiving the people and benefitting his corrupt party. And yet we arc told that this great deceiver this prodigious falsifier and "conqueror" withal, is the man above all other men in this district, better qualified and more fit to represent a free and virtuous people in the Congress of the United States of Amer ica. "Tell 'it not in Gafh, publish it not in the streets of Askalon. A VOTER. SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1S39. Republican ( candidates. rOR PRESIDENT, MARTIN VAN BUREX. FOR COXGRE3Si THOMAS II. HAIAj 0D"A True Democrat" will appear in our next paper. THE ELECTION. Our readers will bear in mind, that on Thursday the 25lh inst. the election for a member of Congress will take place in this district. As some missapprehension exists in relation to the qualifications of voters, we have deemed it advisable to insert the constitutional provision on that subject, (the qualifications of voters for members of Congress being the same as for members of the House of Commons) which is as follows: Section 8. That all freemen of the age of twenty-one years, who have been inhabi itants of any county within this State twelvemonths immediately preceding the day of any election, and shall have paid public taxes, shall be entitled to vote for members of the House of Commons for the county in which he resides. And inasmuch as there are gross misrep resentions in circulation respecting the ac tual expences of the Government, we have also determined to republish the following brief statement in rejrard thereto: The amount appropriated for all purpo ses ordinary and extraordinary ts $3S,000,- 000, from which must be deducted the fol lowing amounts, viz: For the expected war with Eng land, now not wanted, no war taking place, - 10,000,000 For the Post Office, not one dol lar to be used, - 5,000,000 For the Florida war, Govcrnm t not responsible for it, 1,850,000 f Indians west of lUiwissinni. 1,765,000 i7 Dnndnnors. increased four fold since Adams's adminis'n, 2,500,000 For protection ot INortnern iron tier and Western and milita ry road, - 030,000 For Survey of the Coast, 00,000 For Public Buildings, Treasury nnw Post Ofiicc, Custom Boston. 405,000 liuuow --' --"-- 22,760,000 Leaving for the actual expenses of Gov crnment, 615,210,000. Thc Editor of the Washington Whig passes unnoticed our confirmation of the statement we made respecting the lan- and conduct of Mr. Stanly in his Speech at our last Court &: has neither the magnanimity to acknowledge that we etiu nofmisrenrcscnt" said speech nor the ef frontery to call in question the testimony we produced to substantiate it. But we do not in tend to let him oQ in this manner, w c nave 'proved that our statement was substantially correct, and now we intend to prove that the statement of the Editor of tbe v hig was not "a little misrepresentation," but very incorrect hoping that "A Beaufort Voter," will be enabled to discover where the "lie," and the father of it is. Foi this purpose we will introduce the following testimony: Edirccombe county, JujSlh. 1S39. Mr. 'Howard: I this day lor the first time, had the Washington Whig of the 12lh ult. put in my hands, stating the circumstan ces oi a bet betwen Mr. Manly ana mysen, made and closed at our last May Court. The circumstances were open and known to many persons, and 1 merely wish to set the matter right as it should be; hoping the Editor of the Whig will have the can dor to correct hismisstatemcnt, which mis statement is as follows: " Mr. Stanly was addressing the people, a crowd in which he had not a dozen acquaintan ces, and he remarked, that if elected ho would ar;iin refuse to vole on such resolutions as Ather ton's. An individual in front of him one of the self-styled wheel-horses of Edgecombe democ racywith a courtesy becoming the domineering spirits of the regency politicians, rudely and unciv illy said, in an audible tone, "tlierj is no danger of that you will never go hack there again." Excited hy this rude interruption, from the effer vescence of feelings already roused, it is true Mr. Stanly olfercd to bet the man who -made the re mark. Three or four hours afterwards a party of gentlemen led on hy a would-be "wheel-horse, rMinn n n to M r. Stanl v with solemn march, & in all the "prided pomp & circumstance" which becomes such a man, with las rigtii nana aiou exienueu, and said, "We come, sir, to take the bet." Then some forty or fifty persons, from whom the money had been collected, looked like "conquerors." They expected a "back out," and were waiting to gel their money, go home & brag. But sad disap pointment! Mr. Stanly said, "you shall be grati fied, gentlemen," and a friend loaned him the money i The bet was made after various attempts on the part of those who were more largely inter ested to break it oh". Mr. Stanly distinctly told the company belore making tnc net, inai ne nan no intention at the time he spoke of making a hf t: Im had nfiver done so. and never intended to: and further, that he would have all interest of his own transferred and in no possible ercnt would he consent to receive one cent from the it." When Mr. Stanlv was addressing tnc people at ourCourt, he stated that his course upon Athcrton's resolutions was the proud nst net of his life, and if elected, he should certainly pursue the same course again. Whereupon an ota man standing within reach of me, whose name I did not know, in n low tone not intended tor iMr. Stanly's Mr nWrved. that he would not go there again he hoped. Mr. Stanly said he would bet $51000 to 55500, that netoois nisscai in Congress on the first Monday of December next. After closing his speech, some fifteen or sixteen individuals placed 500 in my hands, and requested mc to stake it with Mr. Stanly for them. I went to Mr. Stanly and told him I had un derstood he had proposed to bet $1000 to 8500, on his own election against Doct. Hall. He replied he did. 1 told him then the bet was taken. But, if he proposed the hot in the heat of debate, or in a moment of excitement, the bet was not taken; or, if he was not perfectly prepared, or did not wish to bet, that it would not be urged but if he was desirous of making such a bet, he then had an opportunity, and upon no oth er terms would it be taken. To which he replied, that the bet should be taken; but he would have me to understand, that if he won the money he should transfer his intt-r-estto others, for he would not receive one cent but if he lost, he was responsible for the whole of it and if I wished it, upon his return to Pitt, I should have the chance of twice, thrice, yea, ten times the amount upon the same terms; and if I would attend to them, I would have letters addressed to me from differ ent parts of the district, offering me the same opportunities. As to those who interfered to break off the bet, Messrs. R. Pittman and James S. Battle were the only persons that I rec ollect of that spoke to me about doing so, and thev were not interested in the bet at all: but spoke oi me uuu euecia ui uci- tin"- on elections to which i icuum uiai I d?d not wish to bet at all in any way, but the money was put into my hands for Mr. Stanly's accomodation, and that Mr. Stan lv had taken the bet, and I had no control of the matter, but hy consent oi an panics and as they were mostly absent, that I could not drop the bet and there the mat ter ended. P SUGG. This is to certify, that at our last May n.,f i e;nn wnrp nlaced in mv hands as VUUll 1 w ... a bet on the Congressional election in this district; the parties to which were, Mr. Stanly on the one part, and Dr. Sugg in behalf of himself and fifteen other persons, (named on a list wnicn aixuuip.uncu money,) on the other part; which list, iili the moncvi I deposited in the to the Tiranch Bank at this place for s ife keepin where it now is. July 11, 1S39. JOHN MERCER From thcN. Y. Eve Post, June 19. It haviiv been understood that the Pres ident of the United States intended to visit his native State this summer, our General Committee have been makingarranffcmcnts for his reception. In answer to a commu- nication-in behalf of that committee, the followins' letter has been received fromhim: JVashinglon, June 14, 1S39. Dear Sir: 1 have received your letter, in which, on behalf of the Democratic Gener al Committee, you ask to be informed of the probable period of my arrival at iNcw York, with a view to a puolic expression of regard for myself and approbation of my official conduct. Intending to travel by private convey ance, I cannot with certainty name the day on which I shall re tch there, but I hone to do so bv the first of July. The interchmire of personal civilities with my fellow citizens in the course of my journey, will atlurd me the most lively gratification, and the only sentiment in re gard to it that I desire to express is the hope that it my be attended with the least tor mality that is consistent with entire respect to the wishes ol my mends. As your letter leads me to believe that the Committee design to invite mo to a punlic dinner and as I have been apprized that similar kindness is contemplathe in othcr- placcs, 1 trust I shall be pardoned if I ex press, in advance of more formal offers, the obligation I shall feci myself under to decline such compliments. I am not insensible of the apparent in delicacy of thus anticipating the intentions of my friends; but I feel that in so doing, 1 may safely throw myself .upon thcir'in dulgence. I need not assure them that I can never be unmindful of any manifesta tion of their regard or confidence. Do me the favor to make these sentim ents known to the Committee, and to ac ceptfor yourself my thanks for the obliging manner in which you have conveyed then request. 1 am, Sir, very respectfully, Your friend and obt. serv't. INI. VAIN Drought in the South. The Natchez Free Trader of the 1 1th ult. states that the country on Red River is suffering for w.mt ol rain, 'lhe B.iton Rouge Gazette aho complains about the drought in the r ionda parches. 1 hese are the principal cotton growing sections oi Louisiana. The wecther in this section (says the Tallahassee Floridian of the 15Lh ult.) is excessively dry. In fact, throughout Middle Florida so great a drought has not been experienced lor several years. In many sections not half a crop will be made; and unless we have rain in a day or two, the corn will be entirely ruined Many of our planters will not make their bread. The cotton crop generally looks wall, although if tho brought continue it must soon feel the effects ol the dry wea ther and hot sun. On some plantations, we learn, it is even difficult to obtain sufficient water for horses and cattle. lu a part of North Carolina, on theRoa noke we also understand that rain has been much wanted. Alabama has also suffered severely, but they have had some good rains lately. In this section of Virginia we have had a superabundance of the "watery element." The farmers are complaining loudly Petersburg Con. A perfect cure oj Asthma, fifty four years standing, effected by the treatment of Dr. Win. Evans. This is to certify, thai 1 was attacked with the Asthma in the ninth year of my age, and Irom that lime unlil lhe pre sent year, a period of fifty four years, I have been subject to ibat disease.
