On Thursday next, the 12h inst. the Polls will be opened at the several elect ion precincts in this State, for the purpose of j electing htteen Electors ot resident aiu- Vice President of the United States. The unprecedented activity of the Federal Whigs, and the gioss frauds practiced by them in the eUctiuns in several other States, as clearly set forth in an article on our first page copied from the Globe, ad monish us in terms not to be misuiuhr stood, to be watchful and vigilant. We therefore earnestly urge it upon our Demo cratic fellow citizens to attend the Foils, 10 see that their lukewarm and negligm neighbors also attend, and tint ticketr of the right soit be furnished them To ihe Polls ihen, fellow citizens, and let us en deavor to merit success, if we do not ob tain it. (JDemocratic Electoral Tickets can be procured at this office. Presidential Election." AVe have re turns from only a few counties in Penn sylvania, and they are favorable to the De mocratic cause. The Democratic papers confidently claim a majority of fiom 3 to 6000, for Ihe Van Huren ticket In Virginia, it appears that Petersburg! gave a majority of 17 for Van Hureiv, and Richmond a majority of 405 for Hairison. The county of Chtsierfield .a majoiity of 294 for Van Bui en, ami Dinwiddie 67 for Harrison. This is the fiist time, for seve ral years past, that the Democratic ticket has succeeded in Petersburg: and Chester field in 136, gave only a majority of 110 for Van Huien. These, certainly are favor able symptoms, decidedly indicating that Virginia is safe for Vran Huren. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Washington City, Oct. 28M, 1840. Slit: The crisis has nearly arrived when it will be tested, in the re-election or de feat of Mr. Van Huron, whether this free republic is to be ruled and governed by ihe influence of paper shin plasters, or ihe will of the majority of its independent citi zens. That the contest has been brought between the two, there can he no doubt. Mr. Webster, the English bmk attorney and crack orator of the Harrison party, and on whom the whig" so much rely to c ur them successfully through the cmmai'ii. and who has from the beginning ben op posed to the democracy was opposed to the war and voted against all supplies ol men and means to carry it on 10 its glori ous result has been recently imported to the South (the "Old Dominion") to preach and teach "Jefferson ian democracy." What may not be looked for after that? May we not as soon suppose that a native southron (Gen. Harrison) would pi each up Abolition, as that a northern Hartford Convention federalist would Jeffersonian democracy? The whig parly i;i bringing out Dan as their chief political preacher, put me in mind of the following passage in Hudibras: 'He was in logic a great critic, Profoundly skilled in analytic; lie could distinguish and divide : .A hair 'twixt south and south-west side; On either which he wu!d dispute, Confute, change hands, and still Confute: He'd undertake to prove, by force Of argument, a mait's no h.rse; He'd prove buxz:i rd is no fiwl, Aud that a lord n.ay be an owl; U IiC.h,learne(1 Pedants mut affect; Andtho turn which the implicated whig?,1 of New York and Philadelphia, mgn in ot- fice and hitherto of high standing, nave en deavored by their own affidavits to give to ih diahnlical frauds that have been proven agdflst them, reminds me of another pas sage in the same am nor: For we must take our ofiths upon it You did the deed, when 1 have done it.' And in conclusion 1 must quote one olher line from Hudibras, by way of reminding the people of the South what they have to expect it lien. Hatrison is elected: 'Give us the whip, we'll lay it on." ! ! I Regimental Muslrr. On Saturday last, the Lower Regiment of Edgecombe mili tia, under command of Col. Mabry, was mustered in this place. After performing various evolutions, the Regiment was ad dressed by Dr. T. II. Hall and Gen. L D. Wilson on the political topics of the day. It is scarcely necessary to remark, that both speeches weie rare samples of sound Democratic sentiments, and were received I v itli avidity and much apparent satisfaction by the troops, ami a large auditory collected on the occasion. (jrpRhoda, a free colored woman, came to her death by drowning on Thursday night last, hiving fallen into the river from a flit boat lying at I lie landing at this place. Her bod) his not been recovered. Xtui is ics ot r,ugecom"e lounru. we ate indibted to John V. Hughes, Esq.

From the National Intelligencer. Washington, Sept. 20, IS40. This morning while sitting in a room of the City Hall, a man came to the door and asked if Mr. Stanly was in? He was informed that he was, and I told him 1 was the man. - He asked me if he could speak to me for a few moments. To which I replied that I did not desire any conversation with him. There was a large table between us, and he had a small C3ne in his hand, with which he rushed up and struck me several blows on the arm. He was out of my reach, and before 1 had jumped over the table, Mr. Clark had seized him, and I had only time to give him a kick before he was thrown out o! the room. While he was 6n his back, I had put my foot over his face, but spared him, as he begged for his life, and was entitely powerless. EDW. STANLY. The above account is accurate according to our recollection, anil it all happened in our presence. J. C CLARK, A. II. HARPER. Mcsrs. Oales & Scaton: immediately after the occut rente of the above afTiir I reduced the above statement to writing. The individual whose conduct I have des cribed I understand is named Greenhow, and is the Librarian in the State Depart ment. He -. as provoked, I presume, on account of the following circumstance. 0;i Monday or Tuesday fast, incomp iny with Messis Paul Cameron and Alfred Jones, of Not th Carolina, I went to the State IKpanment to show these gentlemen the curiosities there, and while there I ent intoth Library of the State Depatt ment, and asked for the Librarian. Mr. Crtenhow, ( is it appeals it wvs) was sit ting ;it the Utile, and I asked him for the volume containing the laws of the Territo ry of Indiana. 1 Wished to obtain some extra, ts from it to send to my constituents. 1 addressed him very civilly, and Wj treated with great rudenes, so much so as to en ate the expression of surprise on the pan of Messis. Jones and Cameron. I addressed a le'ter lo the Secretary of Slate, r quisling him to semi me the volume re feired to, and mentioning that I had been treated with incivility by a waiter who called himself Lihtarian. 1 have Ihe satisfaction of knowing that this happened without any pro vocation on my part, and while 1 was in the discharge ol my duty to my constituents and lo my country. That duty I shall c mtinue lo discharge as fearlessly as 1 hope I have hitherto done, and any injury received while thus engaged, 1 shall proudly re member to the latest moment of my life. 1 have been thus far uninjured, and feel towards my harmless assailant no other sentiments than ihose of pity and contempt. I it quest you to publish jjiis to prevent any misrepresentation. jtf Very respectfully, yours. , FfDW STANLY. From the Richmond Whig. Richmond, Oct. 20th, 1S40. Gentlemen -The liberality aln ady dis played by you renders me confident you will publish, with pleasure, the annexed statement; which terminates the unpleas ant difiirirltv between Mr. Robt.Oreenhow and the Uftij Edvv. Stanly. A due sense of justice will rto doubt in duce those Editors who have aliuded to the subject, to transfer this communication to their Columns. I hav& lhe honor to be, Most respectfully, yours. WASHINGTON GREENHOW. Washington, North Carolina, .October 17lh, 1S40. $ Mr. Stanly hiving received a letter dated Richmond, Oct. 9th, 1S40, from John Helh, James M. Wickham, John H. Pleasants and John Diddle Chapman, relative to a difference between Mr. Stanly and Mr. hobert Greenhow of Washington City, which letter was accompanied by a note from Mr. Washington Gieenhow, dated Washington Hotel, Oct. 1G, 1S40, in which Mr. Washington Greenhow says: "As th- friend of Mr. Robert Greenhow, I shall have the honor of calling on you to morrow, or should it equally suit your convenience, shall be pleased to see you or some trtenr, on your part at this Hotel." Whereupon, Col. Joshua Tayloe, as a friend of Mr. Stanly, called upon Mr. Washington Greenhow to know what he desired of Mr. S:anly. Upon a conference between Col. Tayloe and Mr. Washington Greenhow; Mr. Washington Greenhow as the friend of Mr. Hubert Greenhow, made the follow ing statement in writing: "I consider th it Mr. Robert Greenhow has disclaimed all intention to insult Mr. Stanly in the State DeDmtment Librarv. by hi card in the Richmond Whig of Sept. 25th, which disclaimer I now reite- rate. 11 iir. cnuui)y tyiuiu iu v un draw ihe offensive terms used in his letter 10 the Secretary of State, and those in his publication in ihe iNaiional Intelligencer, I have nothing further to ask on Mr. ureen how's part." And upon this disclaimer being made. Mr.: Stanly withdraws the offensive ex pressions in his letter to the Secretary of State. Whereupon all subsequent causes of of fence are considered withdrawn by both parties. .Signed) JOSH A. TAYLOE. WASHINGTON GREENHOW. Murder at Philadelphia.

Why will ye for a paper dollar, Turn vassals vile, though freemen born. The banks are fastening on hz yoke, You're asleep and do not know it; Ye dream it's all an idle joke, Hut when ye wake your chains will show it. You're all become of freedom tired I ween, if for "coon skins'' ye go, Or el-e by traitors ye are hired, Regardless of your wc.il or wo. Awake, "Old Rip," from ' Sleepy Hoi low; Shake the ''night mare" of money off; Djn't be influenced by a dollar, Like noble men ihy trammels doff.
