I ne next case that was taken up was
th.jt ot a freo man of color named Mor
j " i . IK; was indicted for tin; murder of
James Wiggins, a white man. Tin
prisoner was deiendnd by Messrs. Whit-
aker and JSprui!!. Tlie testimony in sub

prisoner had been heard to make threat-

ot another dispute occurring between
them that sown alter this the deceased
with three oilier men, went to the pris
oner's house in i lie night, with a view of
chastising him ami required him to open
the dour, he refused to do so, upon which
Hie iloor alter several attempts, was
pushed open, and tin; deceased entered
and as he did so, the prisoner struck 2iim
with an axe burying the blade up to the
iielve in his bowels. The prisoner in
Mauily lied and the deceased very soon
died of his wound. Altera lucid charge
from Judge Donnell, the jury retired and
in about ten minutes, brought in a ver
dict of mtiuslaughttr.
The third case, was an indictment a
Cainst l'olly Carter alias Polly Harrison,
fur the murder of Nancy Combs, both
free women of color. It appeared in
evidence, that at the very moment when
the deceased came in sight of the pris
oner, the latter was listening to a conver
sation calculated to exasperate her a
gaiusl the former and immediately ran
to her and struck her on the face. Tin;
deceased who was a tall and athletic wo
man, and very far gone in pregnancy,
threw the prisoner clown with ease and
while the parlies were in this situation, a
while man named Hull came up and
kicked the deceased violently in the side,
just above the hips. The parties were
then seperated, and soon afterwards the
prisoner made another attempt to revive
the light. Upon this part of the case,
there was direct contradictions among
the witnesses. Some, and the greatest
number, affirmed that the person of the
deceased, was not touched, and others
thai she received a blow of some violence
about the small part of her back, from the
prisoner. The deceased immediately
complained of much pain in her side, and
continued to linger in much distress for
0 or 7 days when she was delivered of a
rilill born child, and died. In the opinion
of physicians who heard most of the tes
timony, the death was caused by the vio
lence in the affray and the prisoner was
found guilty of woman slaughter, and
imprisoned one month, and to pay the
cost of the indictment Hall had lied
from justice.
On Thursday evening, Lemuel Tur
ner was arraigned on an indictment for
the murder of J. H. Harwell, Clerk and
Master of our Court of Equity. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty to the charge;
and having offered an affidavit for the
continuance of the cause, and that being
refused by the Court, it was removed to
the county of Warren. ib.

justice to the venerable and patriotic Chief Ma

so desirable an object.

which bason three several occasions, by large
and triumphant majorities supported and us
tained Andrew Jackson for the Presidency, be
lieving and knowing him to be a safe depositaiy
and faithful representative of their principles
and whose People, it is confidently believed, are
still devoted to his cause should have no paper
at its Capital, through whose columns the
measures of his Administration can be lairly vin
dicated, and the voice of his friends freely heard.
It is the desire, and shall be the zealous endeavor
of the undersigned, to afford that facility.
His earliest political impressions were in uni
son with those of the Democracy of the nation;
which experience, and his growing years, hav
conspired to strengthen, until the settled pricci-
her, and to the latter what is clearly reserved to
them. As regards the all-absorbing question of
Who shall be our next President? The Lditor
will, in due time, be ready lo inscribe on his
banner the name of him who shall be selected by
the Democracy of the States, as the Republican.
Candidate.
Although, at this particular juncture, a more
than ordinary attention to General Politics is
called for by public sentiment, yet it is the de
sign of the Editor to devote a large portion of his
paper to the loca4! affairs of the State, and the pe
culiar interests of her citizens. Located at the
Seat of Government, he will be enabled to com
municate to the People early and correct infor
mation of the proceedings of the Legislatures
while in session, and logive prompt advice of all
acts of other servants of the People. He will
zealously advocate whatever may contribute to
developethe rich resouices, unfold the latent en
ersies, and elevate the character of North Caro
lina, as well as encourage all lhat may tend to
enlighten the People in regard to the internal
advantages with which they have been blesecl
by nature. He will strive lo make his paper ai
disseminator of facts an assertor of the truth a
vindicator of innocence and virtue a censor o
vice an advocate of justice a promoter of har
mony and social order in the community a de
tector of fraud, imposture, and crime and a sen
tinel, promptly to warn the People ol the hrst ap
proaches of every danger with which their right3
and liberties may be threatened.
In fine, it is the Editor's desire and hope,
hould gentlemen of leisure and suitable acquire
ments favor him with their contributions, to
render his journal useful to the Agriculturist,
profitable to the Christian, entertaining to the
searcher after news, instructive to Ihe man of
science, amusing to the miscellaneous reader," and
a "Standard" under wihch the patriot and poli
tician may rally, confident of a secure defence a
gainst ihe evils of Consolidation, and a still more
dangerous political heresy which seeks to spread
itself through the land, "mingling its fitful blasts
with the steady current of Consolidation, and
threatning, by a combined movement, greater
injury than any before dreaded."
With this brief expose of Ihe object, the de
sign and future purpose of his journal, the Editor
throws himself upon the liberality of the public,
and solicits such aid and assistance from those
who maybe friendly to his enterprise, as shall
enable him to sustain a Paper which shall be no
discredit to the State, but worthy of the cause
which it is his pride and boast to be an humble
but zealous advocate.
The "North Carolina Standard" will be print
ed on an imperial sheet, at least equal in size and
execution to any paper in the State; and issued
once a week, at three dollars a year.
The first number, it is hoped, will be out du
ring the first week in November; the Editor
therefore requests, that the names of all those,
who shall have subscribed previously to the last
of October, may be immediately thereafter for
warded to him at Raleigh, lhat he may be ena
bled to determine how many of the 1st No. to
strike off.
