(J We give below a communication
from one of the leaders of the Van Bu

Randolph, that appeared a few weeks
ago, explaining tho manner in which
Mr Loring, Editor of the North Caro

"credentials rrmlhiiCouft

which assembled in Raleigh on the 8th
of January Jast, to nominate a candidate

t, II. Julian
March 2l st 1810
We beg leave .to differ with Mr.
Julian, when he says "that this is a
true history or the case.' and that too
on the authority, and in the words of the
Chairman of the meeting. The Chair
man will not deny that he told two re
spectable citizens of the County, both
whig, that Mr. Loring wis not named
in the meeting at Park's, and that be
knew nothing of his representing the
County, until the Convention at Raleigh
had adjourned. Esq. , who was
in the meeting at Parks and appointed
a delegaje, also says that there was no
thing said about Mr. Loring m the meet
ing. we think air. Julian is also mis
taken in saying that there was a general
notice given of their intention to ho!d a
mm .. t m ' i a ; - a
meeting on the day of the negco hiring.
We never even suspicioned that a meet
ing of the i "democracy" of Randolph
would assemble lo near the Chatham
line as Joab Parks', when wo have
public Court-House. And further, we
believe we should not be very far wrong
in saying that more than one half of the
people at the negro hiring knew nothing
about (he meeting. ;; There were several
gentlemen at the negro hiring from this
place and two of them say that they
left there after 3 o clocj, ana never
beard such a thing as a political meeting
named during the day.
"RECKONING WITHOUT

-The - following - is - copied .' from the

"Mr. Romulus Remus Saunders, the
f Van Burcn candidate for Governoi in
North Carolina, if at present in this city.

to think, that Van yuren, is yet saw in
Tennessee, but says that the prospect is
very .blue in Ubio. Of hit Own chance
of success, he does not appear to be ran
guine. , He is of opinion, -however, that
if the information which Mr, Fisher
gives him of his strength in the Salisbu
ry district, be correct, he may be elec
ted by three or lour thousand majority
but that it will be a hard battle, -
We have no doubt but that Mr. Fish
er did give Saunders the assurance
a-
bove stated, and we have as little doubt
but he thinks be can make it good: If,
however he hat promised him thema
jority of a single county of the district
u is a woeiui miscalculation, itowan
was the only one where we ever thought
he stood a chance to succeed, but any
man who was here hut week (at the

A letter from an old friend in Georgia,
enclosing us the names of thirteen "good

server, informs us that they were for
merly Calhoun men, but are "now strong
for Harrison a od Ty ter." One of them
was.a Sub-Treasnry member of the Le

for the Farmer , of North Bend. He
adds, '
"You know that I was a strong Clay

Harrisburg nomination, but now 1 be-

LEARNING. J
A young gentleman whose capacity
for learning is not proverbial, having
seen a young lady, and wishing to intro
duce himself to her, wrote a flaming let
ter, filling it with the most extravagant
professions of love. Unon showing it to
a friend, there my boy,'; said he, what
do you think of that? His friend in look
ing over it observed, nhere is not three
words in it spelled right The other
exclaimed, 'how do you think a man
can spell with such a horrid pen.'
