GCPOur County Court was held this
week. On Tuesday, Mr. John Norfieet
was elected Clerk of the Court, in the place
of Jos. Bell, deceased. The vote stood,
for Norfieet 19, Henry T. Clark 16, Louis
C. Pender 1. There was but little busi
ness before the Court, and it finally adjour-
ned on Thursday. 'Perhaps it may be wor
thy of remark, that notwithstanding the
pressure of the times, not a sheriff's nor
constable's sale took place during Court.

(JWc find the following remarks, re
lative to the Independent Treasury Bill
and Mr. Bell's "gag bill," in the Globe.
Mr. STANLY, member from this dis
trict, was among the 53, who sustained
Mr. Bell on this occasion, and we feel in
duty bound to mention this fact, as his name
was unaccountably omitted by the Globe
when enumerating the ring streaked and
speckled worthies at tli3 close of the fo!
lowing article.
Independent Treasury Bill. Our pa
per of yesterday conveyed to our readers
the gratifying intelligence that this most
important bill of the session was at last
reached. Mr. Bell's gag bill, a bill of ob
slructions missnamcd a bill ''to secure
the freedom of elections" was disposed of
by a call of the previous question, which
brought the proposition to decision in a
way best calculated to excite sympathy for
the unhappy author of it. The question
was not the usual one Shall the bill be
read a second or third time but il Shall
the bill be rejected?1 And without fur
ther reading, in this ignominious way, the
bill was rejected by a vote of 10S to 53,
several of the federal members voting
against it, and many of them absconding.
They did not choose to commit themselves
on the record, in voting to disfranchise
anv class of citizens, ha vine: the remem
brance of the fate of the dynasty of the
Adamses in their eye, and cautioned, too,
by the fact that Mr. Adams himself would
not venture to lead oil as usual in favor of
a measure which proceeded upon the ultra
principle which proved fatal to his father.
The Hartford Convention members, and
the rankest of the abolitionists, deserve
credit for the tenacity with which they ad
hered to Mr. Bell; as besides showing the
boldness with which they stood out for the
worst Federal doctrines, it proves the gra
titude they entertain for one who hasaban
doned, at this session, the ground taken
against them on former occasions, and
who has thus shown that he was willing to
be inconsistent to serve them, too, at the
expense of the interests and feelings of his
constituents.
Actuated by this double motive, we find
Mr. Bell supported in his darling measure
(it was his originally, Mr. Crittenden only
adopting the offspring to give it atrial in the
Senate) by Mr. Saltonstall, the mover of
the Hartford Convention in the Legislature
of Massachusetts by Messrs. Slade,
Giddings, Truman Smith, Fillmore, and
several others of the Abolition connection.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
No choice having been made at Balti
more between those who were named
for the Vice Presidential Chair, it has
become necessary to call a Convention in
each State to select an individual as a
candidate to fill said office, whose tried pa
triotism is the surest guarantee that iis im
portant functions will be discharged with
ability and decision. The Central' Com
mittee have therefore resolved to call a
meeting of such as espouse the cause of
the Republic in North Carolina; and they
express the hope that each County, will
forthwith appoint its delegates to assemble
in Raleigh, on Thursday the 9th day of
July, 1S40.

JUDGE SAUNDERS IN HALIFAX.
Agreeably to appointment, Judge Saun
ders attended at this place on Monday
last, and addressed a large and respecta
ble audience of both political parties, in
a forcible & impressive manner. After ad
verting to the charge of Abolitionism made
against him, and clearing it up in a man
ner that ought forever to disarm his adver
saries, and setting himself right in regard
to some measures of State policy, he en
tered the field of general politics, and in
the course of his remarks, . triumphantly
vindicated Ithe present Administration,
against the charges of extravagance, and
the pressure of the times, made by the
federal presses. He demonstrated as we
thought, from the very facts assumed by
his opponent when here, in connection
with others, which may be reroVi
matters ol
nisioiy, mai me pressure of
times cannot
pics oi reasoning, oe ascriueu to the
i f -l i
ministration ot i!r. Van Buren; but mu
be attributed to the vast quantity 0f a
paper thrown into circulation by the Bank 1
and the excessive spirit of speculate
and overtrading, thereby engendered, u I-
passcd in review the political course of r:
opponent he adverted to the fact that h
claims to have been a Jackson man of l
"original panel," having voted for '
three times, although Mr. Van Buren tj,e f
last time was the candidate on the ticket!
for the Vice Presidency; while he (J
Saunders,) was a new recruit only; having
been a Crawford man. He admitted ihj!j
fact shewed the propriety of his course'
subsequent support of Genl. Jackson-- t
proscmed in a strong light, Mr. Morehea'd',!
inconsistency, in opposing the Admini$l
iraiion of Mr. Van Buren, after havin f '
voted three times for Genl. Jackson; anjj f
said, he "had rather be a new recruit I
than a deserter." He adverted to the
nomination of Gen. Harrison, by the Har.
risburg Convention, and demonstrated aj
we thought, t hat he was forced upon if
South, by the Anti-Masonic and AntiJ
Slavery feeling of the North. In reply
to the eulogy bestowed on Gen. Harrison
by his friends, that "he had never ea!en
the bread of idleness; and quit the army
because he had nothing to do," he said
that Gen. Harison received his appoint,
mcnt in May, 1S2S, as Minister to Uoro.
ta, and remained at home until November
following; and that the victories achieved
and the unfading laurels won bv Gcnrml
Jackson, Ids immediate successor in the
war, which (Jen. Harrison abandoned,
furnished full and convincing proof, that
the defence of the country then required
the ablest and most energetic services ia
the field.
We have but briefly touched upon the
topics wc have noticed, passing over many
which we would gladly advert to, if time
and spice would permit. Suffice it to say,
that upon the whole it gave ample sat
isfaction to his friends, and we have no
doubt, laid open to every intelligent and
reflecting opponent, the weak noints of
the desperate cause in which they are ea
garbed. Petersburg Market, May 21. Cotton
