MK now-Nothingtam is on the wan in the

there are numbers of Whigs who will
sever support its candidates or its doctrines.
I meet with them wherever I go men
whose devotion to the Whig party, even
an enthusiast could not qtiestion. who bc-
lisve that duty to the country requires them
to vote for Buchanan and Brcekcnridgc.
and they will act accordingly. Of course
the pious Know Nothings, u-ho never desert
ed the Whig parti, will denounce them as
traitors and renegades'. Thank Heaven,
there is moral courage enough left to make
men do their duty, and despise tho malevo
lence of accusers.

THE CHARGE OF DISUNION.
A writer in the "Salisbury Watchman,"
a few days ago, barged that R. P. Waring,
Esq., the Democratic Elector for this Dis
trict, is "an open and avowed Disuuionist;"
to this charge the last ''Banner" replies, as
follows :
"It is a well-known fact that the "sub
missionist" know-nothings have ever at
tempted to fix the charge of disunion upon
all those who belonged to the Southern
Rights party. Camorou called all the gal
lant spirits of the old Whig party, who
would not swear away their rights as men
and join the know-nothings, secessionists
and traitors how then can we expect our
Elector to escape the same ordeal of defam-
ation and slander? "Union American"
says Mr. W. is an "open, avowed, and up
to the hub disunionist." Shades of Mer
cury! what an unqualified whopper. Where
did he come from? Wonder if he is not the
same unscrupulous scribbler who, writing
from the mountains, accused Gov. Brajr of
being an infidel ? We have had the best
opportunity of knowing Mr. Waring's views
upon all subjects connected with both State
I and Federal politics, and if he is a disun
ionist, "open and avowed," is it not a little
strange we never before made the discove-
1 ry ? He was the Editor of the Western
Democrat for nearly four years, and we
confidently appeal to its columns for the
refutation of this foul calumny. Wro are
not surprised though at anything coming
from the quarter that this does."
The Banner thus effectually nails this false
charge to the counter. In this communi
ty, where Mr. Waring has held a free inter
change of political opinions with all parties,
for the last five or more years, such a
charge would receive no respectful notice.
There are those who can conceive certain
contingencies upon the happening of which
the value of the Union would not be worth
a fig and there are those who believe that
the South should in every thing submit to
the exactions of the North, and bo made
slaves instead of the negroes, and of the
latter class we suspect the author of the
charsre ajrainst Mr.
Warine belongs.
o
THE TEN CENT FALSEHOOD.
Know-Nothingism ia a ten-cent concern,
and delights in dabbling in small things.
It continues, in the absence of all proof, to
circulate the " ten-cent" falsehood against
Mr. Buchanan, notwithstanding Mr. Buch
anan years ago, in a speech in the Senate,
branded the charge as false. In our next
we will give Mr. Buchanan's remarks on
thi3 subject, and show that the charge that
Mr. Buchanan ever said or maintained,
in any shape or form, that ten cents a day
was enough for laboring men, is a. double
distilled falsehood.
O
THE "ONE-DROP" FALSEHOOD.
The Lancaster (Pa-,) Whig, having given
place to the stale charge that Mr. Buchan
an, -about 40 years ago, declared that "if he
had a drop of Democratic blood in his veins,
he would open a vein and let it out," the
Lancaster Intelligencer, published where
Mr. Buchanan resided, and which may be
presumed to speak authoritatively on this
subject, disposes of the base fabrication as
follows :
"A Stale Falsehood Revived. The
Independent Whig of this city (a know
nothing, black republican, nigger-worshipping
journal.) among other fiilsehoinls a
gainst Mr. Buchanan retailed in its columns
is the oft-refuted one about the 'drop of
blood.' The writer knows this to bo false ;
for it was pronounced such by a number of
our most respectable citizens, of all parties,
at the time the charge seas first started.
And this fact the writer for tho Independent
Whig was iiognisant of. But he says he
lias living testimony to prove the charge.
Well, then, why -dues he not produce his
testimony? But let that paper produce its
man, and we pledge ourselves to produce at
least twenty of our most respectable citi
zens who will prove the story a downright
lie a base, unmitigated falsehood from be
ginning to end.
"Mr. Buchanan has resided in this city
and its vicinity for forty years. His up
right and consistent character, both in pub
lic and private life, is well known to almost
every man, woman, and child in this com
munity. The peoplo of this county have
time and again honored him with their suf
frages, and it is a remarkable fact that he
has never yet been beaten at a popular
election before the people of Lancaster
eoonty. It is, therefore, all futile for a
strolling Yankee nutmeg adventurer, like
the editor of the Independent Whig, to at-
tempt to injure Mr. Buchanan at his own
1 I ti.. l: : a.- i i .
u"wc. i ne we in ijuesnon nas oecn repeal
ed so often by a reckless and unprincipled
opposition its to have lost all novelty and
interest. Nobodv believes a word of it."
WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE
Commodore Stockton has accepted his j
nomination for the Presidency! Who ;
would have believed it, without positive j
proof from the Commodore himself? He i
has formally accepted by letter, in which !
he says :
" I accept the nomination as a compli
ment to my inflexible American sentiments,
and the duty I owe to those Americans who
so firmly adhered to their American princi
ples; with the express understanding, how
ever, that if the American party can be
united on such a platform as I now occupy,
I may be at liberty at any time hereafter to
withdraw my acceptance."
Go it, Stockton and Ra ner ! Your
chances are at least equal to four or five
others on the track. If you get New-Jersey
and two more States, t ou will have
soy and two more States, 3 ou will have j
j dera from the feeders.
1 m
FILLMORE'S ABOLITIONISM
The Whig singles out a solitary vote from
all which Mr. Fillmore ever gave in favoi of
abolitionism, during the long period he was
in Congress, viz : the vote against laying on
the table Mr. Giddings' resolution declaring
that the slaves on board the Creole, who rose
and murdered their master and the whites on
board, and took charge of the vessel, "in
curred no legal penalty, and were justly lia
ble to no punishment" to prove that Mr.
i lllmore is not an abolitionist ! Wonderful
proof, truly ! But, the Hon. Green C. Cald
well also voted against laying that resolu
tion on the table, and this vote of Mr. C.'s
i is relied on by the WThig to exculpate Mr.
Fillmore from the charge of beintr an abo
litionist ! If so, then Mr. Giddings himself,
who offered the infamous resolution, is also
no abolitionist, for he too voted against lay
ing the resolution on the table. In view of
the well-known opposite character of the
abolition sentiments of Giddings and Fill
more on one side, and Mr. Caldwell on the
other, who will pretend to believe that the
latter voted against laying the resolution on
the table for the same reason which govern
ed the vote of the former one, the author
of the resolution ? Does not every body.who
knows anything about the modus operandi
of legislative bodies, know that the bitter
est enemies of a measure frequently vote a-
gainst laying it on the table, because they
desire to have a direct vote on it, and crush
it out and kill it forever in that way? And
some such roason, we have no doubt, govern
ed the vote of our townsman, Mr. Caldwell,
on the occasion to which we are alluding.
But, no one who is familiar with the polit
ical course of Mr. Fillmore, while he was in
Congress, his uniform supporiof all the ab
olition measures introduced by Giddings,
Adams, ct Co., can for a moment believe
that he and Mr. Caldwell voted together for
the same reason hostility to the resolu
tion. Indeed, the admission of the Whig,
that it was upon Mr. Fillmore's request, that
his friend Giddings withdrew the resolution,
proves the intimate relation that was exist
ing between them, and that Mr. F. did not
desire the death of tho resolution by a di
rect vote on it a fate which undoubtedly
it would have encountered at that time.
Admit, however, that the vote of Mr. Fill
more against laying that infamous resolu
tion on the table pro, es nothing, either for
or against the abolitionism of Mr. Fillmore,
why has the Whig passed over all the other
votes of Mr. Fillmore, in favor of abolition
measures, given from time to time, while
he was in Congress ? For the reason, we
are bound to infer, that they do not admit
of d..ubtor cavil. Lot the Whig, if it can,
explain away the following
PLATFORM OF MR. FILLMORE.
" believe that Petitions to Congress, on
the subject of slavery and the slave trade.
ought to be received, read, and RESPECT
FULLY considered by the representatives of
the peojle."'
am opposed to the annexation of J e.cas
to this Union, under any circumstances.
so Ions as slaves are held therein."
7 am in favor of Congress exercising all
the Constitutional power it possesses, to abo
lish the internal slave trade between tuk
STATES.'"
" am in favor of IMMEDIATE LEGISLA
TION for the abolition of Slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia .'"
" am opposed to the reckless and Un wise
policy of the present Administration in the
general management of our national affairs,
AS SHOWN IN RE-OPENING SECTIONAL AGI
TATION by the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise'.'''' In addition to the above deliberately ex
pressed opinions, Mr. Fillmore, while in
Congress, voted
1. In favor of abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia even going so far as
to support (JotCs resolution in favor of al
lowing the negroes themselves to vote on the
question!
2. In favor of abolishing the inter-S'ate
slave trade.
3. In favor of our Government receiving
a black woolly-headed simi-savagc negro
Minister from Hayti, to associate with gen
tlemen, in the Court circle of Washington.
4. And to make the Platform as brief as
possible : He voted and acted with Joshua
It. Giddings, John Q. Adams, Slade, Cor
u in, St Co., and against all national men
and southern measures, from first to last.
Let the Whig remove all of the above
Knotty planks from the platform of Mr.
Fillmore, before it attempts to show that he
is not an abolitionist. Let the Whig, also,
prove that Mr. Fillmore is not oath-bound
to proscribe men on account of the place
of their birth, and because they choose to
entertain a certain religions belief. How
anv Southern man can raise his voice a-
sf
gainst abolitionism, while he is supporting
Millard Fillmore, is not a little surprising.
Mark, too, Mr. Fillmore's studied silence
on th? questions of the day. Ho has taken j
particular pains to show that he has em- j
braced Know-Nothing principles along with
his abolitionism, but not a word can be
drawn from him in relation to the Kansas

rFAn anonymous scribbler, in the last
"North-Carolina "Whig." noticing an edito-
rial which appeared in the "Democrat" on
: the 27th May, characterizes the article (the
j one of nine columns) as the production of
an "anonymous writer, lletiius insinuates
that wo have been guilty of palming off as j mU1 narned Cornbill, was recently convict

to be made through their columns, alleging ! ciosdy engaged with our office duties, and
that others are guilty of trading on such qulet and good order apparently prevailing
false capital! This can only be accounted j in our neighborhood, we were suddenly
for, on the ground that they desire their co- j startled by the loud report of two pistol
temporaries to occupy before the public the j ghots fired in quick 8ucce33i0n. Running
same humiliating position of imbecility with to our main.street windows, we discovered
themselves. However limited may be our a man prostrate on the pavement in front
capacities, we hope we do not altogether oc
cupy a know-nothing platform.
We are prepared to expect comments on
our editorial course but, we also expect a
fair and legitimate course to be pursued to
wards us. Misrepresentations calculated to
affect our efficiency as Editor, will not be
quietly submitted to.
ARRIVAL OF MR. FILLMORE.
Mr. Fillmore returned to New York, af
ter his visit to the Pope of Rome, on Sun
day night the 22d ult. He remained 3 or 4
days in the city and Brooklyn, receiving
the honors of his friends and making brief
speeches in reply to congratulatory ad
dresses, and then started for Buffalo, his
home, where he will doubtless find time to
write a letter to his friend, the Pope, inform
ing him of his safe arrival home, and adding
perhaps by way of P. S., that ho has ut
tered not a word against him since his re
turn. "Mr. Fillmore will Not Decline."
The New York Express announces, on
a letter from Mr. Fillmore, that " under no
circumstances will he decline the nomina
tion tendered him." The following is the
lancruare of Mr. Fillmore's letter:
" In reference to the efforts which have
been used to drive me from my course, they
whollv mistake mv character. It is true I
did not desire the nomination ; but my name
j
has been placed before the public by my
friends, and there it will remain regardless
of all consequences, unless they shall re
quire it.-; withdrawal."
VeT The Richmond Dispatch draws the
following picture of Fremont's prominent
officials in the event of his election :
"Seward, Secretary of State; Wilson,
Treasury; Horace Greely, Department of j
the Interior ; Giddings, Pastmastcr Gener
al ; Sumner, Secretary of War; George
Law, Navy ; Hale, Attorney General. All
the diplomatic posts abroad would he filled
by Freosoilers, Fred Douglas bo made
Minister to St. Domingo, and Abby Kelly
to tho King of Dahomey, who is a great
friend of Woman's Rights, and has a body
guard of 5,000 Amazo iians. The Post Of
fices and Custom Houses of the South would
be filled by importations from the Free
States. A large army would be stationed
in the South to keep things quiet, and per
haps Judge Conrad, of Philadelphia, who
talks so big about compelling the South to
remain in the Union whether it likes it or
not, might be prevailed upon to accept the
chief command.
Gone Down. The Now York Herald, a
journal that brought out, and has thus fur
stood by George Law, disposes of that gen
tleman as follows ;
"'Live Oak George Law,' like a locomo
tive attempting to jump a chasm in a rail
road bridge, has gone down and gone under,
leaving nothing but the top of his smoke
stack sticking above the water." Ditto,
John Minor Botts.
Q I
Petticoats in the Field. The Syra
cuse Journal tells us that a Miss Adorabel
la Piggit, the young lady who, in the
bloomer costume, peddles books in the cars
running out of that city of cross grained
ideas, is about to take the stump for the
Republican nominees ! And the Sjtracuse
Journal informs us that Miss Sarah Pellett
is to take the stump for the same nominees.
Go it gals! you will be assisted by Fred
Douglass and other gentlemen of that party.
THE NICARAGUA! MINISTER.
Padre Vigil, the new Nicaraguan Minis-
tor lately received by our government, has j
left on his return to Nicaragua, and has
appointed Major lloiss to officiate as tern- I
porary minister, until his return. The ob- J
ject of his return, so soon after his arrival j
here, is not known, although some believe
it to be on account of his health.

CP We acknowledge the receipt of two
large and beautiful cotton blooms, plucked
on the 23d ult. from the growing crop of
Wm. B. Sloan, Esq. of Cabarrus county.
They are, we learn, Buchannan, Brccken
ridge a" rjragg. blooms.
of Mr. Ahern's store, apparently in the ago
nies of death from his wounds. A crowd
immediately gathered, and carried him into
Dr. Pritchard's Drug Store, where it was
ascertained that he was not mortally though
severely wounded, by a ball in his left knee,
entering immediately above the cap and
proceeding obliquely downwards, shattering
some of the bones, and lodging somewhere
ab jut the kueo joint. Tho wounded man
was Mr. Edward II. Moss, formerly a mer
chant of this place, and a citizen well known
here. The gentleman who shot him, was
Mr. John Sloan, now we believe a salesman
in New York City, and who was also a
merchant in this town, about three years
since. Tho origin of the unfortunate affair
of Saturday, we learn, occurred while Mr.
Sloan resided here, a personal rencontre
between the parties having taken place in
the store of Mr. Sloan, in consequence of
some alleged offence on the part of Mr.
Sloan towards a member of Mr. Moss's
family, who had sent a servant to the store
for some article of dry goods. Mr. Sloan
beincr here on Saturday, on a visit to his
friends and connexions, Mr. Moss first met
him at the store of Messrs. J. &E. B. Stowe,
near the Court House, and renewed the dif
ficulty by indulging freely in abuse of Mr.
Sloan. The Messrs. Stowe interfered and
nreventod a oersonal collision there. A
ghort timo subsequently, Mr. Sloan was
i - A
seated at the front door of Dr. Pritchard's
Drug Store, conversing with S. W. Davis,
Esq., Dr. Samuel Caldwell, and perhaps
some others, when Mr. Moss came along
and struck Mr. Sloan a blow on the head
with bis fist. Mr. Sloan immediately arose
from his chair, drew a Colt's revolver from
a belt around his waist, and attempted to
fire at Mr. M. Tho first aim the pistol
snapped, the second went off but missed
him, the third fire, the ball, as we have al
ready remarked, took effect in the knee,
bringing Mr. M. suddenly to the ground.
It is the opinion of those who witnessed the
exciting occurrence, that the failure of the
pistol the first time it was directed at Mr.
M. saved him from instantaneous death.
Before the second shot was aimed, Messrs.
Davis and Caldwell had taken hold of Mr.
j Sloan, and was struggling to prevent any
i fatal effect and their efforts were doubt
less successful, as the missing of the first
ball, and the second lodging in the kneo'
can be accounted for in no other way.
Messrs. Grier and Harris, Sheriff and
Constable, a few minutes after the shoot
ing, arrested Mr. Sloan, who promptly gave
security in the sum of $1,000 for his appear
ance at Court, when the matter undergoes
judicial investigation. Mr. Moss had" his
wound dressed, and was sent home in a car
riage, where he was lying yesterday, in
great pain from the wound. As tho ball
cannot be extracted, fears are entertained
that amputation of the leg will be necessary.
"J S f S S '
The Weather. It is but a short time
since, the cold weather was the burden of
the song. Now, the tune is changed, and
it is the warm weather. For the last two
weeks it has been scorching day and night.
Yesterday the thermometer, in a cool place
in our office, commenced at sun-rise at 80
dog., and in the course of the afternoon had
run up to 96. We noticed our neighbor,
Dr. Pritchard, slyly trying an extent of the
heat, by covering up some shanghai eggs
in the dust, in front of his store. Whether
or not they cooked, as he evidently antici
pated they would, we have not yet learned.
It was certainly hot enough to roast small
eggs if not shanghais. Our farmers aro

had about lost all confidence in nostrums of that

years ao with thin hair, and as "gray as a rat,
but now boasts asiine and glossy a head of hair as
one could wish. We demanded the secret ol his
improved appearance, whm he readily accounted
for it by ascribing it to the virtues ot Prof. Wood's
