SATURDAY, APRIL 8, IS43 FOR CONGRESS, A. II. AirUl(iTO. (3On Monday lat, Messrs. James Weddell, Thomas Macnair. aid Joseph J. Porter, were elected Commissioners of ihe town of Tarboro, for one year ensuing. (J"A typographical error occurred in OUT last paper, in the statement of the vote of this county in the District Convention it should have been, Toole 6, Arlington 7, instead of 1 to 7, as stated. FOR THE TARBORO PRESS To Mr. Samuel L Arrington, of Nash. At a recent political meeting at Nash ville, a resolution was introduced by you and passed, the effect of which is to dis member the Democratic party and to ex communicate a large class from the great Republican family. It is my present pur pose to examine this mailer, and in so do ing must disclaim personally any unkind feelings to you. I have no desire to elevate you into any undue political consequence, but s eing you are the author of the resolution, and consi dering the relations personal and political between you and the candidate for Con gress, it is plain that it is intended as a po litical movement, which endairgrrs tire 'great Democratic party. It is an attempt ed proscription of a large portion of the 'Democratic party, and if the blow is not promptly parried, it must ultimately des 'troy it. While every good and true Republican was pressing forward, off- rint; at the altar of our common good, all private feelings, throwing the mantle of clnrity and obli vion over the past, your discordant voire ris raised, crying obi, tbre are faithless fol lowers in cantp, and these only are to be :trusted who adhere to you and your house. Vou undertake to mark the faithless and b'shape your condemnatory sentence that you and yoiar Aripe atone are the privile ged class, the monopolizing few who are to reap the honorand rewards, while others 'are only fit to labor and toil. I hope tis only necessary to state this matter to a candid public, to stamp wirj reprobation such arrogant pretensions, ard to place the who'e Demoralic party on a footing of onnilili? onH hrrtt horl t- Int-a. nn.l them to be jeilous of those, who would ihrow any discord or division among them Tor their selfish ends. Some years ago there was a division in ihe Republican ranks, on the great consti tutional question of State rights and reme dies. A portion of the party advocating the most ultra-doctrines of State rights, sustaining themselves with z -al and push ing their claims to the verge of disunion. The other portion of the party opposing, with the Proclamation and Force Hill, un der the lead of Daniel VVeb-ter and the Fe deral party. Happily for the country, this controversy and family feud was honora bly and satisfactorily compromised, and the two branches of the Democratic party, for getting the past, have ag in rallied togeth er in bro'herly band to support their com mon principles. And victory and success, as in former years, crown their united counsels. In the midst of this cheering prospect, comps the Nash resolution, introduced and advocated by Samuel L. Arrington, say ing, that only a certain portion of the De mocratic party can receive their support. Alas! for poor human nature. VVe can't see the beam in our own eyes, while we are shocked at the mote in our neighbor's. We are right our neighbors always wrong We want our own way our neighbors deserve nothing. So says the Nash resolution. Hut who is to be the judge of uni'ormity and consistency?" The proclamation party would judge the State rights to have gone astray, while State rights men would judge themselves uniform and consistent,' and thir oppo nents h d gone to the depths of Federal ism, and assailed them with its exploded doctrines. There being no umpiie to de cide on the uniformily and consistency" of each, they have wisely thrown the man tie of oblivion on the past, and united like brothers for the hearty support of doctrines and principles they both profess There is notv no difference in their principles or iews, and their union alone secures their success. How fatal and short-sighted then the attempt to revive the past quarrels, to irritate the wound that time was healing Such is the suicidal policy of the Arrington resolution, which if sustained, defeaisthe Democratic party, not only in this district, but in the whole country. Are wp to have no converts to our cause? Is the door to be forever closed upon our neighbors and friends who, convinced of the coriectnes; of our priuciplesand integrity of our cause, nt w,llin8 'o join us in their support? R eek to operate on public opin ,1 tions, resolut ons, speechas, addresses, &c? No, Mr. Arrington, your resolution would convert the great Democratic patty into a tribe of Jews, who would fellowship with none who did not wear from his cradle the magic mark of circumcision, and like them be a proscribed and exiled party. For whose benefit, or for what purpose- is vour nrosr-riDlion of the Democratic ranks to take place? Tis hard for mankind to proceed far in any wrongful spur pose, without showing the cloven foot. We are all gifted with ihe same common fn entries, and it requires more cunning to enact a fraud than to de'ect it, and there are few eyes so dull, that cannot see the selfish pur poses in yotir resolution. Your connec tion with one of the aspirants for Congress in this district unfolds the tale. Shrinking from the fair and open consideration of his claims and merits, which all other aspi rants had submitted to, you must establish a new rule of "uniformity and consisten cy," by which in your judgment, your Arrington candidate alone was qualified, alone bore the circumrersion of the .lew all others to he proscribed as "iin uniform, inconsistent," and unc r Hrm "imI. The Jewish feelings and promptings of this resolution, went to secure the nomi nation of a brother wit how t regard to t"he great principles of the party-, or the pledge we were all mutually and volunta rily making, to lay aside all personal pref erences for the common good. u looking back on the past conduct and votes of the persons spoken of for this Congressional district, none couW have escaped the de nunciation of your "uniform and consist ent" resolution. Charles Shepatd, of New- bern, who was the first choice of this dis trict without any qu dificat ion, once separa ted from your poriion of the Democracy. Gen. Hlount, of lyeaufort, who was lately called to preside over our Democratic Con vention, pursued the same course. Henry I. Toole. c4 Pitt, who has battled in the cause of Democracy for the last six ycais s niggling w it'i unconquerable zeal against overwhelming numbers, rising stronger from every defeat, and now wearing the scars of many a hard lough t Democratic battle he too was to he excluded. Dr. Th. H. Hall, of Edgecombe, whom the De mocracy of this district have deligh'ed to honor, he too had committed the sin under the judgment of your resolution of voting again! the force bill and proclamation. VXfoire the young gentleman from Nash alone could present a uniform and con sistent" course. Opposition to the Bank of U. S. is now one of the cardinal points in the Democrat ic creed, yet in times past how few of our distinguished Democrats, from the immac ulate Jackson down, but have not at some time favored it. Under your "uniform and consistent" resolution, all these illustrious persons would be ruled out of the Demo cratic ranks and counsels. Alas! for our blindness, that the proverb of "glass hou- l ses" should not sometimes prove a saluta-l ry warning to us As Mr. ArchM H. Arrington. your bro ther, is now the Democratic candidate for this district. I have no wish to assail him or throw impediments in his way. Nor is it my present wish or intention to impli cate him in your political manoeuvre. Hut you have declared you can only support a certain class of the Democratic party, and having of your own accord drawn a wall of separation betwen yourselves and them, you can't expect their support. It would not be "uniform and consistent" in vou to receive it, as you have established yourself as the pink of consistency and uniformi ty," they would hardly be so ungenerous as to sod your escutcheon with their sup port. Should your brother fail, under your "uniform and consistent" resolution, to receive the entire Democratic vole of the district, you may attribute it to your own threat of excommunication. You can't ask for their support, hom you de nounced as unworthy of yours. "Uniform ity ad consistency" forbid it. Hut if under your deen e we are to have a grand inquisition into the sins and trans gressions of the Democratic party, and the tortures of old are to be applied to those whose judgment or misguided zeal, may have deviated from your path of 'unifor mity and consistency," let us at least not be arraigned before the Jewish Sanhedrim, or any self-made judge in Israel As the matter of which I write is a reso lution of yours introduced in a public meet ing, having a direct tendency to produce a schism in the Democratic ranks, and dis franchise a large portion of its votets, I owe ou no apology for addressing you through a newspaper. 1 wish if possible before too late, to check the mischief of that resolu tion, and expose its deformities through the same channel it was promulgated. EDGECOMBE. fJJ A most absurd and ridiculous re port is going the rounds of the newsp.iptrs, that a personal conflict took place at a re cent Cabinet meeting, between Secretaries Spencer and Upshur. We assure the pub lie thatth-re is not iheslightnst foundation for such a report. There was neither a fight nor even an angry or unpleasant word, between these Secretaries, on that or any other occasion. The whole story is a naked fabrication. Our editorial brethren at a distance, are "ometimes a little too credulous of Wash ington rumors; particularly of such as in volves private character or great public in terest.

Ral Reg. Murder will out. VVe learn from th Danville Reporter, that William H Paul kener, who murdered a young man in Lou isburg, some two or three years since, wtrs apprehended by a patty of men, headed by t -apt. Robert Tovvnes, brought to Danville, and on the next morning delivered over to two individuals from Nonh Carolina, to take on to the jail of Franklin. This scoundrel has been in the neighbor hood of Danville for two years, and some months ago under the name of William H Jones, Was married to a Miss Waif, having left a wife and five children in this State thus adding the crime of Digamy to that of iMurder. The circumstances which led to hi re cognition and apprehension, (says the Re porter,) are such as could have been order ed only by that superintending Provi dence, who directs all the steps of man and who has wisely ordained that "the way of the transgressor shall be hard." We understand that Paulkener has been safely lodged in the jail at Louisburg fjjp6 Pleasant H.

The Norfolk Herald centains the particulars of a lamen table tragedy which occurred at that place on Wednesday last, and which resulted in ihe death of Mr. Melzar Gardner, editor of the Portsmouth "Chronicle and Old Do minion," (a Democratic journal, of which he had become the conductor some six months ago, J in a rencontre with Morde- cai Cooke, jr., ot Norfolk. Ihe partus having met at the ferry wharf, they were in conversation only for a few seconds, when Mr. C. was seen to raise a walking cane which he carried, but, before any hos tile demonstration could be made with it, Mr. Gardner stepped back and drew a re volving'pistol from his coal pocket; upon which Mr. Cooke dropped his cane and seized the pistol, when a violent struggle ensued Cooke striving to wrench the pis iol from Gardner's hand and Gardner try ing to disengage it from the grasp of Cooke. The strife continued only for two or three seconds, when the pistol went ofl and Gardner fell the charge in the pistol having passed through his body! He wa immediately taken into a neighboring store for surgical attention; but the ball had struck the hear!, and in lt than fifteen minutes life was extinct. Mr. l. was a minutes lite was extinct.. iir. v. was a native of Massachusetts, and has left a wife and two children. The Herald states that this unfortunate affair grew out of an attack in the columns of the Chronicle on the feelings of Mr. Cooke, in retaliation for ome7eflections which he was reported to have indulged in at the editor's expense, while addressing a Democratic meeting in Portsmouth about a week ago. It was a fa mily quanvl, po'itically speaking; but its fatal termination is sincerely to be dep'ored Mr. Cooke was subsequently examined betore Alderman Leigh, and, after a labori ous investigation, was discharged. fJJMr. Waggaman. of New Orleans. who was shot in a duel by Mr. Pneur, di ed on the 23d ult. iFotretfln.
