SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1S33. CANDIDATES. Election on Thursday, 25th July next. For Congress. Thomas H. Hall. General Assembly Senate. - . G rat Little. House of Cornmons. JoirN V. Potts. Moses Baker. Turner Byjjum. Clerk Superior Court. Jajie? YV. Clark. Clerk County Court. Michael Heakn. Joseph Bell. TOR THE FREE PRESS. "The undersigned, al the suggestion of many of the most respectable inhabitants of the county, and being themselves deeply impressed with the propriety of the measure, have determined to dispense with ihe practice of treating at the va rious muster grounds, while conducting the pre sent election. They are confident that the pub lic appreciate their motrves in acceding to the wishes of their friends, and conceive it unneces sary to do more than announce their determina tion. This agreement, it is understood, does not embrace the day of election. GRAY LITTLE. J NO. iV POTTS. MOSES BAKER. TURNER R YNUM. MICUL. HEARN. J. IV. CLARK. JO. BELL. To the Editor of the Free Press. Dear Sir: I have just learnt from a source en titled to much credit, that the candidates of Edgecombe county for a seat in the next Legis lature have mutually entered into a compact, not to buy and set out spiritous liquors to the citi zens at all the musters and other public places of resort, such as harbacues and fish fries, previous to the day of election, as heretofore which agreement is certainly a subject of much congra tulation to the friends of religious, moral and re publican institutions; and the benefits resulting from so noble and high minded an act, must be salutary and incalculable. Under such an ar rangement the good and free citizens of the coun ty will not have the same inducements to leave their farms and domestic affairs, which at this season of the year require their daily lahor and attention, to go to those- places as formerly. Be sides, it will be the means of preserving peace and harmony among neighbors and friends, and of preventing quarreling and often the result of bruised heads, scratched faces, bloody noses and gouged eyes after which comes indictments, and the natural troubles and expences attendant on the same. Now, fellow citizens, whilst we are aJl fully convinced of the utility of so praise worthy an act of our much esteemed and worthy candidates, let us all join heart and hand to pat ronisc and encourage so noble an undertaking; and endeavor by all honorable means in our power to abolish and to bury in oblivion the old and degraded practice of candidates attending public places throughout the county, for the puN pose of treating the companies. I do not now, nor ever expect to belong to a Temperance Society, for I love my cups as well as any body, when taken in a proper and senile manly way; and on the day of the election and the day that the votes are compared, I should sav it was nothing amiss to set out something for the voters to drink. And I entertain a hone, that this high and honorable act of the candi dates will by no means have a tendency to di minish the number of votes in the county; but on the contrary, I hope it will induce every friend to his country to attend the polls and Sive a lull and deliberate vote. I think it such a grand and magnificent attempt at morality and republicanism, that I have a wish to give my aid and support to each of the candidates, and were it constitutional I would w.ll.ngly do so; for I do really view it as highly worthy of imitation. And I would say tothe State tf f lhKr CUntieS ouSLt this Mate at ieast-go thou and do likewise. LIBERTY. I'rcsidenVs Tour.-TUo President of "u ouues, acompanied by the oecretarv of Statp iti q ....

Hal. star. fiiiement, and pledged themselves for their good conduct, preparations have been made for their return to their homes. We learn, that they will be conducted through the principal cities, with a view, to exhibit to them the extent of the pop ulation and of the country, its wealth, resources and means of defence, and ti impress them with a conviction of it strength and power, which will be pro ductive of lasting good consequences. They will probably leave Fortress Mon roe early in the next week, proceed n far east as Boston, thence to Albany, Buffalo and Detroit. Their subsequent route will then be determined by the officer having them in charge. Globe. CTThe brig Elizabeth, arrived at N. York from Bogota, brings papers to the 21st of April. Among the passengers, is the Hon. T. P. Moore, our late Minister. Lieut. Randolph. This individual who has attained a notoriety, and placed himself in a situation, in which he must be conscious that he can neither expect mercy from his enemies, nor sympathy from his friends, embarked, it is said, in the last packet that sailed from Phila delphia, for Liverpool. G7The National T emperance Con vention have been guilty of great indis cretion and gross intolerance in passing the resolution, on the last day of their session, which denounces as "a moral wrong" the traffic in, or the use of ardent spirits as a drink. Such Associations in a free country ought to be conducted with the greatest liberality and toleration. They deservedly expose themselves to censure, when they undertake in this general way to "hurl damnation through the land.'' Public opinion will resent tin s encroachment on the consciences of ot hers, and even for the benefit of the Temperance Society, should compel them to rescind their obnoxious resolu- iiii.'ujoers (leierrnine a mong themselves to refrain from the use of ardent spirits, or even all " thin pota- iwns. L,ei mem put forth their argu ments, and address themselves to the un derstandings of others, for the purpose of working a similar conviction, and pro ducing the same determination on the part of others. All this is a legitimate exercise of the rights which belong to them as free citizens and if they so please, of the duties which devolve upon them. But when they undertake to de nounce others, who may be as conscien is calculated to produce a prejudice a in view. Richmond Enq. Cape Fear Yadkin Rail road. A report has gained extensive currency, that the town of Fayetteville ha3 aban doned in despair the project for a Rail Road to the West. We find however, in the last North Carolina Journal, a com- to the West as at this moment. The Virginia Farmer. We have re ceived several numbers of a paper bearing this title, published weekly, on an impe- rial sheet, in quarto form, at Scottsville, Albemarle county, Va. by T. M'Robert, Esq. It is devoted to the improvement ot agriculture in mat rotate; ana means have been adopted by the editor to insure ty of original matter deeply interesting Fatal Accident. We understand that Mr. Willie Watson, who lived in the low IVt - I er part or iormainpton county, was killed a few days since by the accidental discharge of a gun carried by a man with whom he was at the time turkey hunting. Mr. W. was a respectable old man, and has left many friends to lament this un fortunate occurrence. IVindsor Her. CTThe Elizabeth city Advocate has been discontinued. The Editor announ ces his determination to remove to Ports mouth Va. and publish a tri-weekly and semi-weekly paper to be called the Portsmouth and Norfolk Commercial Gazette. Hat. Adv.

He in sisted that it was the will of his master that he should do so, and that nothing should prevent him; that he could not tell the object of his master in moving him thus to act, but it was his opinion that some great calamity tcoidd befal the town, and referred as an example to the 20th chapter of Isaiah. On this subject he appeared to labor under a strange de lusion on every other, he was rational and indeed intelligent. Vindication of North Carolina. a this paper will be found a communica tion from Joseph Seawcll Jones, the au thor of the proposed vindication of our State from the aspersions of Mr. Jeffer son, in which a more detailed account of the plan of his work is given than has hitherto been submitted to the public. The design of the Author, it will be seen, is primarily to establish the claim, of North Carolina to the honor of having oeen the first to give motion to the ball of the Revolution and to rescue from un deserved reproach the name of a distin guished Patriot, From our knowledge of Mr. Jones, we feel no hesitation in recommending his work to the patron age of the citizens of the State, confident that it will possess much interest apart
