SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1843.
FOR CONGRESS,
A. II. ARRINftTOlV.
(gJFRev. Wm, J. Langdon, Agent of
"the American Bible Society, and of the
North Carolina Bible Society, favored cur
citizens with addresses in behalf of thosr
institutions on Sunday and Monday last
A society, auxiliary to the i. o. moie
Society, was formed on Monday, and the
following officers chosen: Messrs. Peter P.
Lawrence, President; John Willi ims, Vice
President; William F. Dancy, Secretary;
tlobert Norfleet, Treasurer; Henry Aus
tin, Nathaniel M. Terrell, Lewis Bond,
Nathan Mathewson, and Dr. William G.
Thomas, Managers. The sum of 66 50,
was collected and subscribed, for the pur
pose of procuring Bibles and Testaments to
. Famish the destitute in this County.
Shocco Springs This delightful sum
mer retreat, as appears from an advertise
ment in this paper, will be soon open again
for the reception of visiters. We have so
frequently directed public attention to the
salubrity of its waters, picturesque scene
ry, and the affability and attention of the
'enterprising Proprietress, that we deem it
now only necessary to say to those who
heretofore have availed themselves of the
Superior advantages of this admirable Wa
tering Place, that they will soon have ano
ther opportunity of doing so and to those
who have never enjoyed them, we say, give
-them a fair trial.
''Froth the Washington Republican.
(y Some of the "Whigs" affect 10 have
an idea, that the ardor of the Democracy of
''.Beaufort has somewhat cOoled down. Let
,them not flatter themselves with such vain
illusions. The Democrats o? Beaufort were
never "ra'ftre 'United, vigoVous and resolute.
Our prospecfsln hi$ c6unly were never
brighter than they are this m 6 merit. We
have received quite a number of new recruits
within the past week or two, and "the cry
is still they come.,, The unusual violence
"of Mr. Stanly in this cornel makes the
Democrats more active and zealous, while
ltheealm, manly, deliberate and reasonable
course of Mr. Arl ington, has already es
tranged a number of Mr. Stanly's former
friends to the support of our candidate. The
" conduct of Mr. Stanly towards Mr. Ar
Tington has gained the littler support,
which he otherwise would never have re
ceived. Mr. Arrington is every way wor
"thy of the confidence and support of (he
-people, is a very useful and estimable citi
zen, and bears every instinct of a strictly,
'moral and pious man, and a gentleman;
"consequently he rallies the Democrats of the
District unanimously and enthusiastically to
his support; while Mr. Stanly's extraordi
nary violence and unprovoked attacks upon
Mr. Arrington, makes ihe former almost
intolerable to the great mass of the honest
yeomanry. Moreover, Mr. Arrington is
emphatically one of the people a farmer
in his manners, his thoughts and his sym
pathies. He knows the feelings and wants
of the people, and knowing; them he can
the better attend to them effectually in Con
gress. The truth of the above remarks has been
proved by the conduct of the two men dur
ing the time they passed in thistown. Those
who have been strict & impartial observers
of the political sayings and doings that
transpired hereduringSuperiorCourt week,
must in truth corroborate our statements.
Mark this: we shall give as large, if not
ti larger Democratic vote in this county, at
the August election, than we did last Au
gust. Our party are fairly and enthusias
tically aroused. The vole of the two par
ties was nearly even at the last election, on
Ihe 3d day of August next, old Beaufort will
Mand completely disenthralled, redeemed,
regenerated. She will then burst the ty
Vanical shackles of Whiggery,and with the
name of Archibald H. Arrington upon
her Democratic banner, she will wave it in
Jjroud triumph over the sinking embattle
ments of Stanly ism and Clay ism. Ever
busy at palpable misrepresentations, some
few of the rabid Whigs have reported that
Mr. loole would not support Mr. Arrine
ton. It is unnecessary to say, that the
statement is ialse, outandout. Mr. Toole
and his friends are among Mr. Arrington's
warmest supporters. The honest indigna
tion and mortification which Mr. Toole's
friends felt at the defeat of their chivalrou
champion of Democracy, has given wav
to the patriotic calls of duty to their paitv
and country. Mr. Toole, who was here
during Superior Court week, took Mr
Arrington warmlv bv the hand, as he did
before meeting him here, and urged his
iriendsto his support. This is another
w luence ot Toole's noble disinterestedness
ected
nanimity. No other course was expected
from him. He, with his friends, stand in
the front ranks of Mr. Arrington's sup
porters: ".
'He lays his own advantage by,
To seek another's good."
Let the Democrats of the other Countie
in the District, be as active, and as frith
ful in the discharge of thir duty as those of
this county, & a victory of at least one thou
snnd voles will perch, in August next,
upon our banner. Beaufort now challenge
the other counties in this District, and de
fies each of them to give as large a Demo
cratic vote as she will, give in August, in
proportion to the last elections.
Will any of our sister counties accept the
challenge? We dare them to do so. Arouse
Democratsof the Eighth Congressional Dis
trici! Shake off ihe cobwebs of ease and
inactivity, and rally with indomitable en
ergy around the Democratic stindard
Let active, vigorous, bold, and determined
action be the daily and hourly motio of ev
ery Democrat in the District. We have a
candidate truly worthy of our warm and
undivided support, and who will mike us
an indefatigable and efficient representative
in Congre-s. He knos w'hat will be the
interest of the District and he will guard it
well and faithfully. He upholds and bears
aloft the banner on which is inscribed
Free Trade; Low Duties; No Debt; Sep
a ration from B inks; Economy ; Retrench
ment, and a strict Adherence to the Con
stitution." What Democrat in the Dis
trict will not fight manfully under such
a noble and glorious banner? What
honest man in the I'isUict, whose bo
som is warmed by Southern feeling, will
not rally under its ample folds? Mr. Stan
ly unfurls and upholds the banner on
which is inscribed High Tariff; High Du
ties for Protection to a certain Class; a Na
tional Debt; United States Bank; Distribu
tion of the Proceeds of the Public Lands;
Abridgement of the Veto Powei ; Internal
Improvement by the lienor.! Government;
Henry Clay and all his ips-tdixits. " W hat
intelligent farmer, and laborer in the Dis
trict, can he so blind to rra inteiest at to be
found contending under such an anti-Southern
banner! Who, that has formed just
conctptions of our national prosperity,
freedom, equality and renown, will not
fly from under the folds of this latter ban
ner. Think, impartially think of those
things, freemen of this Congressional Dis
trict, and be wise in time. Save yourself,
your families, your children, your State
and your country, from the sad catastro
phe and direlul calamity of Whig reign.
l'he Whigs will try 10 move heaven and
earth, nay hell itself, to elect Mr. SUnly.
They will use any and all means, and will
leave nothing undone to effect their object.
And hence it is necessary for us to use .all
fair and honorable means to elect our can
didate. Let all the Democrats be as a
band of brothers, and move on in a solid
phalanx, in behalf of our cause and our
man. Let us not yield the weight of a
feather to Whiggery, however violent or
insolent it may be, but like the Remans,
let us march on and contend with a firm
ness, and spirit that will make opposition
quail before us. Courage, Democrats.
Our cause is onward, and presents in this
3is! riet, as well aselsewh re, a most chee
ring aspect, riom mumc, vncni, va-

itThe Whig Clarion." A specimen
number of a small paper, under the above
title, was issued last week from the office
of the Register in this city. It is publish
ed under the general control of the whig
Central Committee of ihe Mate, and edited
by H. W.Husted, Esq.
We have received the 1st number ot a
paper published in Rutherfordlon, N C
called The Republican, published and edi
ted by Walter Rutherlord, jr. It has hoi
sted tne Clay Flag, and goes for a National
Bank, a judicious latin, the distribution
of the Land Funds, and one Presidential
ferm.
Mail Contracts. The statement in
this and many other papers, that the Wil
mington Rail Road Company had contrac
ted to carry the great mail, was premature.
We now learn, that the Company rejected
the offer made to them by the Postmaster
General, on account, we suppose of its be
ing too low. We have little doubt, how
ever, that the maii will be conveyed on
that route, and we think the Company
ought to insist on the same rate of compen
sation as is paid elsewhere. 1 here is no
reason why they should be paid, as hereto
fore, less than others. Fay. Obs.

Superior Court. The Superior Court
for this county is now in session Judge
Battle presiding. The Judge is a man of
good appearance his face and manners
must always command respect and we
genuine Democracy and high souted
maT-1hearh'im spoken of by our Countrymen in
very high terms as a Judicial officer.
We again nroclaim it. that if another
Lawyerin additon to those now in the
habit of attending out Courts should, in
the anxiety of his heart to get a "case,"
make up his mind to attend the Caswell
Bar, let him also conclude to bring a chair
with him, or he might miss a seat - the
Bar is now crowded with lawyers good,
bad and indifferent. 1 his, however, is
"none of our business,' so we'll dismiss
the subject hoping that evety man who
has a son will "make him a lawyer a
lawyer! no matter if he has not brains!
Better he should have that title and live on
the little point of nothing whittled down,
or rob for a living, than he should stain his
hands by the mechanical arts, or put them
to the plough.
NntSs Head The Norfolk Herald
states that Campbell Graham, of the Uni

Esq., civil engineer, have been appointed
to make an examination with a view to ie-

the practicability as well as ihe probable
expense of the work. Major Gwynn, who
is well acquainted with the subject of in
quiry, deems the work practicable. If so,
and it shall ever be accomplished, its im
portance to North Carolina will be incalcu
lable, while it will add another harbor of
refuge to vef-aels on our coast in bad wea
ther, thereby saving an immense amount
of jlroperty from shipwreck.

The particulars we copy from the Tropic
of Ihe 1 st inst.
On the 26th of July last, more than 9
months ago, a package containing 55 1 30,
000 in U. States Treasury Notes, was sent
by mail from the Custom House to the
Treasury Department at Washington. The
package, it appears, never reached its des
tination, and during the past week an agent
from the Treasury Department, charged
with the business of investigation has arri
ved in this city. He has been busily en
gaged in probing the affair to the bottom.
but as yet the result of his labors has not
been made known. Enough has transpired,
however, to render it quite certain that the
money did not leave the city. It seems
that the Treasury notes when received
here are marked "cancelled across the
face, in order to prevent their further cir
culation, in case of accident. If the notes
in tne missing package were so marked,
the marks did not accomplish the purpose
intended, for the Custom House shows, we
are informed, that some of the identical
notes comprising that package, have been
again received here and lorwarcieu 10

very mysterious and difficult of solution.

attempt was made on Monday to take the
life of Mayor Scott ot Philadelphia. 1 lie
United States Gazette of yesterday says, an
Italian, callling himself Adolphus Henedic
li Ptolemai, (the last rather apocryphal,)
has freqently, of late, called on the Mayor
of this city, generally urging a request that
the Mayor would supply him with a room
in which to open a school for the langua
ges, ihe man seemed deranged, and was
put off with kindly words and pecuniary
assistance. Yesterday, between one and
two o'clock, p. m. he called at the May
or's office, and after waiting impatiently,
was informed that the Mayor was in his
private room. Thither the man repaired,
and renewed his suit. After some conver
sation, he grew troublesome, and used lan
guage so improper, that the Mayor told
him that only one of them could stay in the
room. This did not appease the fellow,
and the Mayor rose, and opened the door
to go out. Whilst his back was turned,
the villain drew a pistol, and discharged it
the back,
coat, vest.
two thickness of elas'.ic suspenders, and the
under clothes, and caused a considerable
swelling, but did nol enter the flesh. The
man was immediately arrested and com
mitted to prison. A great deal of anxiety
prevu iled as to the fate of Mr. Scott, as
the story soon got abroad with much exag
iteration. We are happy to add that Mr
S. suffers very little from the wound. The
fellow was. of course, insane. None other
could have found occasion to discharge a
pistol at John M. Scott.
