FACTS FOR FAPvMFRS Store goods are rising. Produce is falling. What makes store goods rise? That tarifi' lately passed by Congress. What makes produce fall ? Chiefly abundant crops, but in part the same tar- Why does not the tarifT raise the price of pro duce? Because our farmers raise more than our country consumes, and, none being exported, the price cannot be raised bv heavy duties on imports. How does the tarili reduce the price of pro duce? By injuiing or destroying the foreign market. Our farmers feed all the mouths in our country, ta riff or no tarifi', and still have a surplus to sell to foreign nations w^hich pay for it in manufactured articles. A tariff which prevents the importation of those article^ in whole or in part, lessens their means to buy, and in the same degree diminishes '.lie chanci?5 of our farmers to sell. Thus excluded from foreign rnarkets by our own legislation, the produce of our farmer remains at home to overstock the domestic market, and the price fails.

And when there is now' an op portunity to do justice to the services of this gallant chief, shall we pass him by—and that, too, when he is at least equal in every other qualification to any other man of our party in the State ? e trust not. We feel well assured that if the Democratic people had the selection of a Senator to make, Gen. Saunders would be their almost unanimous choice. His age and experience qualify him for the post, and his talents would make him an ornament to whom it will have been won; and long will it liberty and prosperity of the country.”-^c;/m C. Calnoun. in operation. Good times for w’hom ? Not for the farmer or planter, or mechanic, or merchant, or professional man; but only for the owners of factories and for. ges. and other favored classes. Well, how are the times made good for them ? By making every farmer, planter, mechanic, merchant, professional man, and every body else, pav higher prices for the products of the factories and forges. “ Be it enacted.” savs Congress, that to enable the owners of factories and forces, salt w'orks and 1 • . sugar plantations, to make money by their business. every farmer planter, mechanic, &c., shaM pay twen ty. thirty fifty, or one hundred per cent, as the case may be. more than the fair market price for their salt, sugar, clothing, rnd every scrap of iron pur chased for th(^ comfort of themselves and families, or for the prosecution of their business. This is the exact effect of our protective taiiiT! It is peculiarlv the farmer’s sweat whicii greases the rusty mr!chinery of the profitless factory and forjre, and sets it in motion. It is his labor which swells the income to the suirar planter. And this evil falls upon him. not from the operation of the laws of na ture or trade, but his earnings are transferred to MEETING IN CABARRUS. We ave requested to state, that a public meeting of the citizens of Cabarrus county will take place at Mount Pleasant, on the 1st Saturday in No' vember next. The Hon. Grern W. Ca.ldv. ell is expected to be preser.t and address the meet ing. THE SICKNESS. Never w’ithin the recollection of our oldest citi zens, has our village and county been so sickly as during the past two months. And according to ac counts, the same may be said of a strip of country about fifty miles wide, of about the same elevation, be- o^innin^’^ at the northern boundary of this State, and & O . I running through Caswell, Guilford, Davidson, Rowan, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties into York District, S. C., and probably farther south. North and South of us, the sickness seems to have been more fatal than in this region. In Davidson and Cabarrus, on the one' side, and Yoik on the other, there have been a great many deaths j while in this county, for the amount of sickness, (near one half of our whole population have been sick,) incic compaTf^'vely few deaths. W^hy this particular region or elevauul3 country been so signally afflicted, wc may say lot the pa$v two years, we leave for the scientific to investigate. W^e are gratified to be able to state, that for the past ten days the sickness has been rapidly disap pearing- We hear now of no serious case in the village, and but few in the country around. Those who were very low are recovering, or have got well, and we can rejoice once more in a healthy communi ty. The Yorkville Compiler and Greensborough Patriot also announce the disappearance of the sickness in their respective sections of country. OUR NEXT LEGISLATURE. This body being so decidedly,and to our opponents, so unexpectedly Democratic, all they can now do is to grumble, and endeavor to excite dissentions among the Democratic members by suggestions of rivalry, dislike, &c., among the prominent men of our par- Neverthelcss, if our friends in the Legislature should in their superior wisdom see proper to choose for Senator some other sound Democrat, we know Gen. Saunders’ friends w’ould be ready cor dially to acquiesce in their choice. AVHIG NEWSPAPERS; A WORD TO THE DEMOCRACY OF NORTH CAHO jiXA. A recent number of the Raleigh Register con tains the following paragraph : “ Circulate the Documents.—Q trust that evep' friend of the glorious Whig cause in North Caroli- lina, will assist in extending the circi^ation of Whig Newspapers among his neighbors.
