(JAmong the recent published deci
sions of the Supreme Court we find the fol
lowing: "Also, in State v. Lane, from Edge
combe reversing the judgment below, and
crdering a peremptory mandamus to isue."
' This doubtless seals the file of Harry
Lane, convicted of the murder of John
Bedford, whose case will be again brought
before our. Superior Court, to be held next
week, for final decision.
(JThe reader will find on our first
page a piece from the Baltimore Republi
can, containing matter of fact eloquence
which will if freely circulated, do mon
good to enlighten the people than a dozen
speeches in Congress against the tarff. We
hope it may be generally read, and used at
public meetings by cur public speakers.
Clay changing his position on Texas.
Mr. Clay has written a third letter on
this subject, and is coming round fast. He
teems to have no fixed principles except
the single one of self-promotion, and that
is sought by the sacrifice of all others.
His first.letter was in decided opposition
to the annexation, so viewed by friends and
foes, and he summed up in forcible array
the views in opposition to it; declaring it
subversive of the intezrit v of the Union."
thereby adopting the disunion threats of '
John Quincy Adams and the abolitionists,
and pV:;ily courting the abolitionist aid by
declaring his determination to stand to his
opposition as long as "a respectable por-
lion' .. culd back him.
His second letter to the South aimed to
explain his first, to lessen its ambiguity;
but it only mystifies his position, for it en
ables the Texas men of the South to say,
that his opposition to it is by no means
such as his first letter indicated, and that
he will yield his position more readity, and
that "the respectable portion of the people"
means a different thing. When a politi
cian writes so ambiguously and confused as
to leave doubts about his views, you may
rely -cvRt, that concealment is his design;
and when he undertakes to explain and
modify, you may be equally certain, first,
that he feels self-convicted of his errors;
and secondly, that the public see it also and
require such confession. Such is the sad
predicament of a politician, who gives out
to the people, not the honest convictions of
his mind, but-such opinions guardedly ex
pressed, as will impose on the community,
pointing in any direction his own interest
cr their inclination may direct.
His third letter has now made its ap
pearance, still explaining what ought nev
er to have been left in doubt, his first mani
festo; and modifying his opposition to such
a point, as may at once satisfy the friend
and the enemy of the annexation of Texas.
FJe now openly says he is "personally in
favor of it," but he cannot give it his po
Htical support. Now can any person jus
tify this double dealing? was there ever
uch barefaced dishonesty? first in favor,
then in opposition, then half and half
The South to support Mr. Clay because he
is "personally in favor of il;" the North,
hecause he is politically opposed to it. All
his good wishes are for Texas, but his acts
against her Surely, Mr. Clay ought t(
have one of GenU Harrison's committees
to hold his creed, or adopt his other mot
to, "no opinion for the public eve."
Mr, ClayVfirst letter influenced thou-i
sands against Texas, who had avowed their
open support of it. He now abandons
them, and jumps on the fence to await fur
ther developments. Mr. Clay must again
explain. Such is the fate of dishonest poli
ticians. And we may truly say of Mr.
Clay on the Texas question, that he
"Wires in and wires out, x
And leaves the people still in doubt,
Whether the snake which made the track
Was going South or coming back."
The Raleigh Register.
(PThe Raleigh Register has replied to
our notice of "his orders to the Legisla
ture," and his reply shows how sensi
bly he felt the remarks applied to them.
We have seldom seen such unblushing "ef
frontery" displayed in any article, as to no
tify the members elect (as soon as a whig
majority was ascertained) ' to form no
preferences for candidates for office, but
to be at Raleigh at the earliest moment
for action, or in other words put them
selves under "Raleigh influence "
He heads his reply "Effrontery.'
'Tvvas well titled if badly aimed, for he
leaves il quite equivocal whether the term
is applied to "his orders," or our remark
on them.
Our paper is called Hittle patent ma
chine." It is a term of very general mean
ins. No doubt he intended it to be a se
vere one of some sort. If so, we must tike
the intention for the deed, for that cons'i
tutes its only smartness. But it is "pub
lished in Edgecombe done in the sloughs
of Locofocoism." This we suppose is in
tended to be sill more severe, so we must
pardon his taste, and pgnin give him credit
for his bid (or wore) ini-emions. Per
haps Locofocoism as wdl as Coonism has
its sloughs, and those in Edgecombe have
damped the bright hopes of aspiring coons
as effectually ss they ever were done else.
vhete. Edgecombe is dreaded, hence she
is vilified and slandered and ridiculed; anl
in her turn claims the privilege of exposing
these vilifiers and jester, one of whom
happens to be the Raleigh Register.
The article which is headed "Effioi.te
ry," concludes with a line from a nursery
song,
'Hush a by, baby, on the tree top."
This is a decided specimen of grannyism.
If our infantile efforts require the aid of a
nursery lullaby, we may then consider the
merits of Granny Gales; till then he had
better spare his readers the little songs
his own domestic "responsibilities" may
have taught him.
But to be more serious. The Register
says the whigs are "independent and think
for themselves.
If so, your late "or
ders" were in direct contradiction to this;
for it called on them expressly not to think
for ,hemse,ves' but wait ,iM ,hfT an
in KaIei6h- And if the' have not '
arrived
inde
pendence" to resent this wrong done them,
then they are indeed fit subjects for your
"orders." And while you call them "in
dependent," you may issue your "orders"
and "think for them" too.
But the most important part of the sub
ject you are silent on, viz: the scramble
for office, and the great preparation for the
'division of spoils," when there is but
one fish and no loaf to divide. Truly if
ever a party earned the appellation of spoils
party by hard and faithful work,, you merit
it. Loaves and fishes are your principles,
down to one fish and one principle.
You speak of our article springing from
a feeling of "disappointment." From what
ever source it may have sprung, it is at
least true; and disappointment may yet
preside over your feast, when one dish is
served to so many appetites.
FOR THE TARBORO PRF.SS.
Mr. Howard: 1 had th pleasure of
hearing Henky I. Toole, Esq. address
the freemen of Pitt county in the Court
House at Ureenvule yesterdav, in a mas
terly manner. He took up the different
points at issue between the two great par
ties of this country, and manfully and elo
quently stript Federalism of its humbugge
ry and disguise, and laid bare their evil
deeds and designs hrfore the people; not
one particle of constitutional ground did he
leave federalism and its whole train of con
structive measures to rest on. He first
shewed the identity of Federal whig mea
sures with those of King George the 3rd of
hngland, that the grievances complained
of by our fathers of the Revolution in fact
and principle, were the very same that the
Federal party have imposed from the days
ol the elder Adams s alien and sedition
laws to the dictator's reign of 1841, &c.
when they had control of the government.
He held up to view their promises in 1840,
ilieir reckless course alter they came ihto
power, their repudiation- of contracts, the
distribution law; ihe iniquitous bankrupt
law, the two United iaies V""'i
wnicn rresiaeni iyiei civ, t
ed plain' that all their measure were anti
American and anti-Republican, and were
all doubtful powers, which Washington
warned the people of this govern-
mn not m fxercise. He IOOK UU it
bank question, drew its picture, showed it
was not wanting in this country to regulate
exchanges, that exchanges are as good now
as thev were in the days of the bank and
better, that it could hot be the object of the
whii? nartv thev wanted a bank to regu
late purses, politics, and politicians of the
country, such as D. Webster and H. Clay;
when it was said he received irom tne oiu
U. S. Bank forty or fifty thousind dollars,
&c. before this he was an anti-bank man,
afterwards a bank man of the darkest kind
that Clay wants another bank just (as
rotten and stinking) like the old one
Mr. Toole next took up the Tariff, drew
its picture and laid before ihe people the
impositions and burdens it lays on our sec
tion of the country to place wealth in the
laps of the manfacturer and monopolist. He
next took up the bankrupt law, ana snow
ed ihe people its fallacy that it was sha-
pen in sin and brought lortn in iniquity,
and the object of il was fraud on the hon
est people of this country that it was re
pudiation of the darkest hue. tie nexi
took up the abolition of the veto power
from the federal constitution, and showed
the cause why Henry Llay attacked me
constitution. The causa was, that Honest
John Tyler could not violate his oath and
conscience, which bound him to support
the constitution that our patriotic fathers
of the Revolution saw the necessity of it,
(the veto,) and placed it in the hands of the
President to arrest hasty and reckless le
gislation, &c. and that if the veto power
was abolished, that the number of free
States were fourteen, the slave twelve
that the free States had four majority in the
Senate, and forty and upwards in the
House he then drew the picture and
showed plain, if the veto power was ahol
ished from ihe constitution, that the South
and southern institutions would he end an
gered, and challenged successful contradic
tion, lie next adverted to the Texas ques
tion, showed the advantage it would bo to
the United States, the North as well as the
South in a national point ol view, and then
showed the strength it would add to the
outh and southern institutions, &c. &c.
and in all points at issue defied successful
contradiction.
It was reported in the streets, that Gov.
Dudley was going to reply to M r. Toole,
but he did not; he could not stand to hear
Mr. Toole throughout. Mr. Toole arraign
ed him, and Gov. Morehead,and others,
and showed their anti-tariff measures of
1824 and '28, and their resolutions in op
position to Mr. Van Buren, because he was
too much of a tariff man that they were
in favor of Mr. Barbour, who was against
the tariff and asked, wheie are they now?
all tariff men! These tariff men cannot
endure to come to the light, because their
deeds are evil; hence Gov. Dudley showed
not his head. Mr. Allen, who it was ex
pected would reply if the Ex-Governor
would not, showed not his head in defence
of coonism.
Sir, I say to you if all the democratic
Electoral candidates are as active in the
cause of liberty and the constitution as Mr
Toole is, we shall carry this Mate on the
4th November next with ease. Let each
county add to her democratic vote twenty-
eight, and it will turn the scale in favor of
Democracy in this State, Polk and Dallas
will be elected, and the coons will return
to their hollows for half a century to ccme.
If perchance they should rally again, it
must be under another name beside whig,
which they have polluted. Then rally,
Democrats, once more, and carry your
whole strength to the polls on the 4th No
vember next, and victor) is yours; while
the stripes and stais will again wave over
the land of the free when the lone star of
Texas will be added to our bjiiner, and
our brethren of Texas shall participate and
enjoy the freedom our revolutionary falh
ers achieved. A VO TEH.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
No. 3.
Red Sulphur Springs, Monroe Co., Va.
Aug. 20th, 1S44.
To the Editor of the Press:
In my last from the Hot Springs 1 was
in the valley of Virginia and now in the
gre.it Mississippi valley of the union, hav
ing retraced my steps, crossing Tigain the
Alleghany Ridge one of the great Back
Bones of America.
Leaving the White Sulphur where we
tarried a night and were badly accommo
dated at Mastin's Hotel, we commenced
our day's journey, the beautiful turnpike
for sever.tl miles keeping company with
Howard's Creek, a lively little mountain
stream.
With regret we left the Turnpike,
which leads-to Lewisburg, Blue Sulphur
and Guyandotte and turned off on the bad
ly constructed road to the Salt Sulphur,
the dinner house for passengers to the
Red.
These springs enjoy, in common with
the rest, a goodly reputation for the cure
of several diseases. The establishment is
well fitted up and the table d'hote was well
supplied with all the good things the moun
tain market affords and served up in a style
superior to any thing I've seen.
The breads (an all important article for
invalids) were, toonea in u, -j ;
" Theater in tut. and smell I. h,rdW
di3tin,u;,hfrom,heWh,teS0phur 1h
dinner (and sucn a ons yuu
with at every place in the mountains) be
ing despatched, we bid adieu to several I old
acquaintances and reached the Red Sul
phur at sunset.
The ride was cheered by beauliful sce
nery and some fine farms after getting into
Monroe county, which to me was quite a
treat, having for four weeks past been
en mnlP tp.lv hlockaded bv mountains. 1 tie
greater portion of the Road between this
and ihe White Sulphur passes through; a
limestone region and as is generally the
rase the soil is lertile. Union, tne coumy
seat of Monroe Co., is surrounded by a
beautiful country, and the village it seems
(from several buck houses going up; in a
fl.-w.i.-ln.r rnnflition. G ad indeed were
we when we ''hove in view" of the se
questered spot, having been exposed the
greater part of the day to the scorching
r3ys of an August sun.
Delightfully situated tn a very narrow
valley, overlooked on either side by high
mountains is the celebrated Red Sulphur
Snrincrs. famed for the alleviation and in
many instances cure of pulmonary con
sumption or as the young M. D.'s would
pompously call it "phthisis pulmonale."
The first use made of this water was by
the neighbors for itch, sore leg and other
cutaneous eruptions; but when its sedative
effects were made known and its peculiar
properly of reducing the pulse discovered,
il became at once a resort lor consumptions
and since that time has performed some as
tonishing cures in other diseases, paiticu
larly in chronic diarrhcei, chronic inflam
nation, afleciions of the liver, kidney,
bladder, &c.
rersons at a distance would treat as in
credible, that a few ilas-cs of this water
will reduce a highly excited pulse down to
i:s natural number of, beats per minute,
were it not well authenticated. Midi is
the fact however, that it dots exercise a
mysterious influence over the circulation ol
the blood, possessed by no other known
water in the world.
The water is delightfully cool, temp. 56,
cooler perhaps than any sulphur water in
the mountains and on that account far mote
palaieable. The accommodations are suffi
cient for 350 persons and the Proprietors
have an efficient and gentlemanly manager
in the person of Mr. King, whom every
body recollects at the White Sulphur.
This place is tastily ornamented with
promenades, shade trees and grass plats.
The large buildings and rows of cabins aie
arranged for comfort and convenience.
Mr. Burke (ihe former Proprietor,) dis
played no little skill in making improve
ments on this once rugged mountain -side.
The property was sold last summer at auc
tion and brought 520,000. It is now own
ed by A. Beirne & Co. In my next 1
propose to give you an insight into the way
they manage things at the watering places.
