TAUROROlJGIlk SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1844. FOR GOVERNOR, Col. Michael MIokc, of Lincoln. (JOn Monday, the 8th inst. Messrs. Charles G. Hunter, Harman Ward, Pat rick McDowell, John Oarrelt, G. VV. Kil lehrew, Moses Price, and James B Woodard, were elected Wardens of the Poor of this county, for the ensuing three yeirs. (TP The attention of the reader is dire c ted to our fir.t page for several interesting and amusing articles. Texas. The course of the press in North Caro Una, on the suhject of the annexation of Texas, is worhy of comment. The democratic naoers. we believe without exception, are openly advocating it, either by original articles or transfer ring to their columns the arguments and statements of others, without waiting for the directions of party leaders or enquiring whose political fortunes will be advanced by it. The course of the whig papers is sly and disingenious, evincing on this subject as on most others, that they are actuated not by principle but exclusively to the promotion of men and party measures; and we hope they will consider again, before they at tempt to commit the whig party of North Carolina against this measure. 'Tis true as an electioneering theme, we would not thank them for a greater favor than to turn the elections on this subject. They could commit no greater indiscretion as a patty. But we are more friendly to the promotion of our common good, and the interest of the whole Union, and would infinitely pre fer, on this subject of National importance, the unanimity of the press and people. It is identified with all the great interests of the country and has been advocated by all the leading politicians, whigs and demo crats. It is unaccountable lhat any southern press should be even indecisive or luke warm on a subject which is only opposed as a southern measure, feaiing it may ad vance southern influence and prosperity. The Raleigh Register pens no article against it itself, but copies and endorses the violent and inflammatory editorials of the National Intelligencer. A baleful influ ence which has long swayed the Register, looking abroad for. counsel for Noith Caro lina politics. The Star and Newbernian carry on a quasi opposiiion to it, because of the man Der the thing is now wgotiating, and not to the thing itself that 'tis a secret nego tiation without consultation of public opin ion. Now in all faith, we ask if 'tis not the usual and only way, in which such mat ters are alwaj s conducted. Tteaties are not only negotiated secretly, but discussed and acted on in secret Senate, and still kept se cret till ratified by both parties. And this in particular is not a sudden or a stealthy move on the part of ihe administration. For ever since the ceding away of Texas in 1819, its re-annexation has been before the Cabinet, Congress and the people in some shape or other. Bui say you, Mr. Tyler went a begging for it. Call you a propo sition to assert the rights and advance the interests of the country, begging. Didn't Adams and Clay twice make the same pro position during their administration, and didn't Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren do the same, and were they ever charged or even suspected of begging? But Texas proposed the annexation to us some time ago, but under the circumstan ces then existing, Mr. Van Buren declined to negotiate; and Mis but fair that the pro- position should now proceed from us. The Fayetteville Observer don't relish the annexation, lest it might involve us in war with Mexico. And do you really dread any thing of the sort? What kind of a war has she waged with Texas for the last five years? nothing but bitter feelings which has extended in the same degree to us. As far as we are concerned, this diffi culty could be removed by a negotiation with Mexico. But we fear you are u:i willing to remove it. You would rather keep open the war question to oppose an nexation with. If such is your extreme pacific disposition, slumber on with your quaker conscience till your country shall be divested of her rights and shorn of heri strength pax vobis. . The Halifax Republican fears that Mr. Clay's prospects for the Presidency may be jeopardised by the discussion of annexa tion. The records of the country show no man in the United States, as an older or firmer ft iend of the annexation of Texas than H. Clay. In his speech in Congress in 1820. he violently opposed the giving of it away, openly assuming the ground H could not be done by treaty; and as Secre tary of State, under Mr. Adams, was first to DroDose the re-annexation. I he last to r r surrender it, the first to regain it. History places him in an enviable portion on this question, which we hope no indiscretion ol himself or his friends will impair. The "North State Whig," true to his yankee birth and yankee feelings, ushers forth his ideas in an extract from some yan kee paper. But his course is no criterion of public opinion on national subjects, as his political vision is bounded by the pros peels of "the Gallant." The Whig Clarion we never see andsel dom hear of. But he is only an attache of the Raleigh Register, and plays the part of ''king's jester" and his principle like his jests, are only valued at home at one shilling. The harmless character of court clown, divest either of the consequence that otherwise might attach to them. The "Independent," professedly a neu tral paper, at first thought Mr. Tyler "a I i tie too smart" tho' now with "the lights before him," he is advocating the annexa tion; but with more caution than a straight forward independent course . would war tant. However, if he will kennthat same light" before him, it will continue to shine and direct not only his path, but any other candid and honest seeker of truth. (JWe learn officially from Washing ton City, that the treaty for the annexation of Texas, has been signed and transmitted to the Senate for ratification. We are disposed to augur favorably to the success of the measure from the pre sent. Many of the leading journals of the north are advocating it. The New York Legislature, following the example of Maine and Pennsylvania, have refused to instruct her Senators against it; and Col. R. M. Johnson, in reply to a letter on that sub ect, comes out in its favor with that frank ness characteristic ot his whole public course. -::- Col. Richard M. Johnson. This distinguished citizen states in a re cent letter, his intention of visiting North Carolina this summer. We honor Col. Johnson for his public services in the council of the nation, a" well as on the battle field; and if nomina ted by the Baltimore Convention as either 'resident or Vice Piesident, will give him our hearty support. But we would prefer he would postpone his visit till after the election. The course pursued bv Mr. Clay in his electioneering tour is degrading to the aspirant of the high offices of the country, and we did hope no Democrat would follow the pernicious example. Col ohnson's deeds speak more eloquently for themselves than he can for them, and the people will duly appreciate them in the gratitude of their hearts and at the ballot b-xes too, without expecting him, Clay like, to be the trumpeter of his own praises. If we were disposed to enter into such a contest with the Whigs, we would be very proud to contrast the bearing of Johnson and Clay, their public career, as emblem atic of the purity of their principles & party. Mr. Clay has had to travel thi country to answer charges of suspicion on his cha racter treachery to his constituents, bar gain and intrigue for his own promotion and in becoming the champion of sectional interests and has found himself arrayed against the other section of his country. It is with these feelings and charges he finds it necessary to depart from the usage of the great patriots who preceded him, & to extricate himself from "suspicions which the common sense of mankind" will at tach to such conduct as his. On the contrary, the applause which marks the course of Col. Johnson is the reward for services rendered, bestowed on a patriotism brilliant in its career and kept bright by a long active course of public ser vices, and which even the malice of party has never dimmed with the slightest suspi cion. How different the position of the two men one explaining inconsistencies and suspicions of foulest character. The other receiving the hearty well done, uncontami-j nated with the slightest taint. (JJ-Hon. William R. King, Senator from Alabama, has been nominated to be Minister to France, and the appointment was unanimously confirmed by the Senate Mr. King is a North Carolinian, and was for several years a member of Congress from this State before he emigratee to Al abama. ELECTIONS. Connecticut. The election in this State for Governor and members of the Legisla ture has just terminated. The Whigs huve elected a majority of. 5 in the Senate thr majority in the lower . House doubtful Several towns having failed to elect, these vacancies may entirely alter the majority On the Governor's election Baldwin (whig) 27.137 Cleveland (democrat) 26,6G9 Gillette (abolitionist) 1,512 This shows a plurality in favor of the Whigs of about 1000 votes, where in the contest between Harrison and Van Buren it was 6000. Truly this is a great falling oflT, after the most unprecedented exer tions and the hrgest vote ever polled. New York City. In the election just held for city officers, there was a third ticket run called the Native American, which beat both Whig and Democrat, and consequently shows no test of parties. New Orleans. In the election for May t i or, it was run exclusively on party grounds, and the Democrats carried the election easily. Be it remembered, that Mr. Clay has spent a portion of the winter in this city, where great efforts were made to raise the whig b inner; and this vote shows how the people there estimate his travelling about, electioneering for the Presidency. (JThe Raleigh Register contains a no tice from the Petersburg Intelligencer, that Mr. Mcl. a staunch democrat, h id presen ted the Petersburg Editor with a Clay Cravat, and the Editor chuckles over it in a boasting strain. Thi is really the latest specimen of ver dancy we have seen. It is a quiz pre senting the Editor with a Clay collar indication not of any whiggism in the do nor, but a man-worship and slavish subser viency of the whig press to Henry Clay. Wear your collar gracefully, but don't boast of it. Henry Clay. An unavoidable absence from home deprived us of the pleasure w m h we h.ui anticipated of seeing anil fhAmg the hand of the truly distinguished ndividual whose name head this anicle. Halifax Republican. What a sad calamity! we fear Mr. Clay will not survive the disappointment and we advise the "Governor" to make a straight shirt tail tor Petersburg as soon as possible, to accomplish the object near est his heart. Congress The Senate is still princip il y engaged with the approriaiion bills. In the House, on the 4th inst. after some time spent in committee of the Whole, the bill regulating the pay of the army and for other purposes, was teported and passed, I' 19 to 36. 1 he House ordered the prin ting of the reports on the Massachusetts resolutions.
