T.-VRBOROIJCSH : SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1844 FOR GOVERNOR, Cat. Jlichael 2Ike, of Eiincoln. To the Patrons of the "Press'' and the Republican party generally. tn accordance with the arrangement pub lished in the last No of l his paper, the un dersigned henceforth assumes the edito rial control and management of the Tar boro' Press " With that No. the labors bf the former editor, so fat at Ieat as this paper is concerned, have ceasedi wilhAj, the present editor's begin. In asMiming the responsibility which be lorgs to the conductor of a public journal the undersigned trusts that he ha approach ed the task with that modest diffidence of his qualifications, which his youth and the novelty of his position is so wi ll calcula ted to inspire. Had he consulted the dic tates of prudence, or the history of the pub lie press in N. Caiolina a history, which, with very few exception, is written in failure and folly, he should not, most probably, have emb irked in the enter prise. Hut he his thought that the great and imperishable principles at s'ake, in the popular battle about to be fought, are para mount to all personal or prudential conside rations, and compared with which, the in terests and fortunes of a single individual are but dust in the balance. Besides in the whole region of-N. Carolina, lying east of Raleigh, and comprising one half of the territorial txent of the State, tht re are but two Democratic journals to defend the rights and interests of this section against the insidious designs and dogmas of Feder alism. But above allKthe lion-hearted De mocracy of Edgecombe, a democracy which "knows no baseness, which cowers before no attack,' a democracy, as pure ami unpurchfisable as the eternal principles on Which it is based, pleads in behalf of her righteous cause. To be called upon to de fend the principles of such a people is a res possibility he would rtlost gladly have de clined, and which He long hesitated to as sume; but having Assumed, he Is ready and willing to move forward wherever the Spirit of Democratic liberty may point the way, or the voice of duty aiid patriotism cad him. " J It is agreed on all hands, that a crisis has! Arrived in the history of the government, which demands the united and utmost exer lions of every Republican. The great p pular battle of lrfOO is again to be fought. The coming contest will be one of no or dinary ch aracter, a contest fir transcending rieie questions' of temporary policy, or the iphemeral inletests of party success; a con test involving the fundamental principles of the constitution, arul one which will Mariip the chat act er of the gov ern merit for weal or woe for years to come. The court try. just emerging from the fatal excesses of 1S10 is agin to be lashed by the angry waves of political strife. All the Federal weapons of patty rancour and abuse will be brought into full p'ay. Th'e archenemy of Democracy, which, under the thousand and one diguies, assumed for popular ef fect, has been hithei to driven to' the wall, now stalks forth in the broad light of day, exhibiting its got gori heaM ml it openly ut tering and avowing principles, which have ever been repudiated a'nd scof iedf thus defying ah'd insulting the very omnipotence of the people. A puAeiful party, banded together by no common principle, save facdous opposition to Democratic rule, s ung by the recollec tion of repeated and recent defeat, and ani mated by the prospective enjoyment of public patronage and plunder," are rallying under the banner of a leader whose whole life ha been one continued scene of politi cal gambling for power and place", and ' wh"e desperate fortunes are staked on the 'issue of he contest. Around bis standard are gathering the faciious and discontented of all parties To the Northern' manufac turer, he holds out the tempting bribe of protective duties to the Southern Agti culiurisi, he unfurls the banner of free trade. The wealthy capitalist is wheedled by the golden promise af a National Bank --the profligate and indebted, by the pro mise of relief under the operation of Bank rupt laws. Proteus-like he aeumes eve ry phase which the varying hue of public policy may dictateall things to all men lit: i me very genius 01 demogogueism and deceit, la this the time, for nm, wbuiuudlS IU quarrel among themsetaes aWit men, wnen principles so "momentous are at stake? Shall we stand idle while the ene mies of our peace and happiness are attemp ting to rock the baltlemenls, if not rive the foundations of the Republic? YOUNG DEMOCRATS OF EDGE COMBE! You whose hearts are yet warm with the ardor of youthful enthusiasm, we invoke you to action! One, born in your very midAt, of similar age and feelings with yourselves and attached to the soil which give him birth, by every tie which inter est or affection can create, calls upon you to bestir yourselves. The crisis is moment ous and the stake incalculable. Your's is the season for action and exertion, your's ihe very spring time of existence, when the red" tide of life bounds in healthful currents along the veins, and sentiments of truth and eloquence come warm and glowing from the heart We invite your aid and co-op eration not only in giving circulation to our piper, Dunn (teienumg me great irums of democracy thro' the medium of its col i .1 it i. .. uinns.

Cdngress. The preparatory business of the session having b:en arranged, the two Houses appear to be entering with alacrity on the various subjects presented to their consideration, indicating a determination to make it a beneficial and harmonious ses- ion. We sl.all endeavor h roafter to give regularly a synopsis o( such of their pro ceedings as we may deem interesting tQ our readers.

The Convention. On our fiist page the reader will find the proceedings of the late Democratic Convention. In conformity theteto, we unfurl the Republican banner with the name of Col. MIClIAKL HOKE inscribed upon it, as the Democratic candi date for Governor. The points of attack and defence are thus happily set forth by the Demociatic Signal; Ihe issue ine Iiesolutions of the Demociatic I onveniion, as will be seen distinctly meet the great issues now joined between tne parties Against any connec lion of the Federal Government with a Bank, as corrupting to both; as unwarrant ed by constitutional authority, and inimical to popular liberty ; against amy Distribution ol the proceeds' ot the Public band sales by a uovernmetii indebted beyond its ability to pay, ana obliged in consequence of such distribution; to resort to' heavier and more oppressive taxation in order to supply the delicti) against a tiotecttve l ariff. as radi cally repugnant to the great fundamental principles ot equality ot rights, and tonali ty of burdens and benefits, the Democratic Party ol North Carolina, stand firmly and undividedly opposed. And these are the three great giant schemes upon which re pose the hopes of the Whig party for popu- idi dppiuuuauon ana ultimate success. Let tne issue go toiih. Let ihe difference be known. Let those measures be fairly dis cussed, understood, and appreciated. Let them be considered in thur lelations to that free, cheap and simple Government contemplated by our fathers and let an enlightened, dispassionate people pro nounce judgement We have no fear ol the result.
