NORTH-CAROEINIAN. Wm. H. Iiiwrie Editor and Proprietor. tl YET TB YIL.L.E : " Saturday Morning, August IP. 184' FOR PRESIDENT, James K. Polk, OF TENNESSEE. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, - George M. Dallas, OF PENNSYLVANIA. MARKET. Business bas been as usual for Ibis season during the week, and we have no change of importance to make. We heard of a sale of cotton from second h nds at 7 cents, but 61 is about the standing price. Our quotation for corn is full high. Wool has advanced 1 cent, and lard a half. WHO TAKES IT ? The North Caro linian may be had from this time till the first of December next for SO cents. Now Jet's see what the democrats can do in the way of exteudiug a democratic paper's circu lation. A little exeition would procuie 100 iu any coiiuty. It is cheap enough. NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.

' ..,' The Senate is composed of 50 members, and the House" of Commons of 120 members. 1'he democratic majority in the last Legisla ture was 10 in the Senate and 14 in the House, which latter, we believe was by some occurrence increased to 16 iu the House, making 26 on joint ballot. fr The Register of Friday morning says that tho whigs will have 32 on joiut ballot , -but no one can m.ike it more than 16! ac cording to the Register's own figures! to wit: In the Senate, 26 whigs 24 democrats.

A small untenanted hous', belonging to Mf John W.Howell, was burned to the ground on this (Saturday) morning, about four o'clock. There is no doubt that it was set on fire, but we have not heard who is suspected. Not one of the engines started for the fire.- FRAUDS. A whig paper called the! 'Buckeye Sentinel," daled July 16, 1844, published three columns of namesyand a great glariug head, "800 renunciations of tocofoco- ism," &c., and - went on to name the States iu which these 800 live. . The Boston Post happened to receive one of the above papers from Ohio, and has exposed the trick, so- far as Massachusetts is concerned. The Post says thai in the first place there is no such paper irr Massachusetts as the one from which it is pretended these changes are taken ; and next, that the 17" democratic members of the last Legislature who it is pretended has left tocofocoism, are the firmest democrats in the Slate. . Now if the statement as to Massachusetts is entirely destitute of tiuth, it is more than probable the whole S00 is a fabrication. It is a great pity that men should be so unprinci pled as to practice such contemptible tricks. K,The Suo, a little daily, published at Savannah, Ga., and edited by G R Lilli bridge, Esq.. is the only one who has had the temerity to inc ur the penalty which we de clared would await any one who said " ram's horns" lo us after we received that " Polk stick;" namely, a knock down. ' We make it a rule never to hector over lit tle folk:;, therefore, Mr Sun, "your siie pro jects you," as the little fellow said to the giant, who had iuswlitd him.' . tj- We be" those gentlemen who have for warded us election teturns, to accept our warm thanks for their attention. Several complete tables received from counties where this paper circulates, we should be glad to publish, but our supply of types fur tables is insufficient ; which latter We hope to remedy before we are much older. A letter from Wadesboro', daled August 2, says : - ; " ' " A man by the narno of Reuben Uildreth was attacked near his house last night while on his way home, and was desperately cut with a knife, until it is said there is no chance whatever for his recovery. The person sus pected haa been' sent for, but the Sheriff has not yet returned. There , has been several cases ot stabbing, but none more seriou3. None of the cases resulting, however, from he excitement from the election;" Dr. Audrows, of Wnyne, who was running for the Commons against Mr E Barnes, both democrats, was defeated by the casting vote of the Sheriff of the county ! TOO BAD. A fiiend who is one of the craft, writing from Washington city, informs us, that at the whig printing -office where he was employed, there were printed fur gratuit ous circulation, 53.000 copies of a' speech, purporting to have been delivered by J. J. Hardin, in the House of Representatives, abusive oflhepritaU as well as public charac ter of Mr Van Buren, (a second Ogle affair, we suppose) which, sincn the nomination of Polk and Dallas, have all been suppressed ; a dead loss. - This is a truth for which we can vouch, knowing the character of our author. Aud such was the stuff with which those vile political murderers of private character were going to electioneer against Mr Van Buren. We thnnk beaten that they were disappointed iu their prey. POLK AND DALLAS ENTHUSIASM. Extract of a letter lo the editor, from one of the enthusiastic thousands who celebrated the 4th at Shuter's Hill, near Alexandria : " About 8 o'clock we were all assembled in fine.order, well trimmed from top to toe, and drawn up in pleudid order, of procession for a trip t.i Shuter's Hill, Alexandria. We start ed with about 1200 of the ' bone and sinew " of the City alone, and about as many more from Georgetown and tho neighboring coun ties. of Maryland. Arriving at the steamboat wharf, there was a geoeral panic of surprise nt tho unprecedented collection of Old aud Young Hickories there assembled. Tho ball gathered as it roiled from the Globe office to the wharf. There were too large steamers chartered for the occasion ; and there could not have been less than a thousand who h-id to go by way of the turnpike to the place of meeting, owing to the immense nouy tnat crowded ihe decks of the steamers. We start ed from the wharf with the characteristic en thusiasm of all good democrats, with on ex cellent band of music melodiously sending forth our national airs, iu a spirit of true and heartfelt patriotism. Every man appeared to be infested with the spirit of their forefathers on this occasion. We arrived at Alexandria about 1 1 o'clock, A. M.. where we were wel comed by the most enthusiastic cheers that ever echoed along the banks of the majestic Potomac. A splendid company of Cavalry from Fairfax were awaiting our arrival as an escort to our head-quarters foi the day. Pass ing through the principal streets of the town, we were greeted on all sides by the ladies, (who, by way of coutrast, in 1S40, held out long black mourning rags,) waving their white siguals duriug ths continuance of the proces sion. After proceeding about oue mile be yond the town, we came to Shuter's Hill, the most delightful spot t ever visited. Hero was a splendid collation served up for the compmiy present. Having taken a piominent position, I was enabled lo make observations of every thing around. We had on the summit of the bill about 600 ladies, prrncipnl!y from Alex andria, who, during the ceremonfes, kept their white handkerchiefs waving in tokeu of admi ration of our proceedings. I believe it was the first assemblage of ladies at any democrat ic meeting ever held in tho District. Now for the slump. Our first mitn ws Jas. S. Hoban, esq.' He slatted with the his tory of the Great Western Coon, i. e., Henry Clay, and wound up with the great whig for tressthe U..S. Bank. I have never listen ed to such eloquence, such' unanswerable ar gument, as vas brought forward by him on this occasion. He Was foHowed ' by Mr Payne, of Alabama, as pare n democrat as ever pulled in the traces, he Was listened to by the crowd for more tfiau hour, during which time the most deafening peats of applause reverberated throughout the mighty mass theie assembled. He promised an overwhelming majority for Polk and Dallas im Alabama. Next came General Dawson, a nonpareil at slump speaking, who, after touching on some interesting political topics, delivered one - of Ihe best orations (suitable to the day) that I ever listened to. George B. Wallis also ad dressed the meeting for about twenty minutes iu his own original style, and drew from the crowd a well-merited applause. I must draw to a close, after informing you that every day brings fresh converts to the cause of Polk and Dallas in the disfranchised portion- of this free Republic CALUMNIES.- Under the head of cal umnies refuted," the Pennsylvauian publishes au article from the Ohio Statesman, which shews, as we exnected coukL ha ln iUi the charge brought against Mr Polk, by the Whig papers, of votiug against the Pension bills, is the mere work of malice. The Ohio Statesman has overhauled the printed Journals of the House, and show that Mr Polk voted in April, 1S26, against postponing (which would hsvo been tantamount to defeating) a pension bill ; on 1st May, 1826, he voted for a good amendment to the hill ; on the 2d May, 1826, he voted against layiug it on the table. In January, 1827, he Voted against laying on the table the bill for the relief of the surviving officers of the army of the Revolu tion ; and also voted agaiust postponing the bill to a distant day. In February, 1S29, he again voted tor a bill to amend an existing act. . On the 28th February, 1S29, bo voied for the bill pensioning the wife of the gallanj Commodore Decatur. In 1 532, be voted to grant pensions to those who defended our frontiers in the ludiau wars, from 76 to the treaty -of Greenville in '95. In tho same year he voted for a supplementary net to one of the above bills. We think the above is enough to satisfy any man that Mr Polk is not opposed lo re warding the old soldiers of liberty for (heir hard services. While it may be that he has voted against some propositions as charged, yet it is unfair to argue from lhat, that he opposed every'hin.r of the kind. " For a man may be an enthusiast in favor of a certaiu measure, aud yet vote against certain modes or forms of accom plishing that measure. Aud as we mentioned some weeks ago, we have no doubt that if Mr Polk ever voted agaiust any propositions of the sort, il was for reasons that would be satis factory lo any sensible man. Indeed, the above recital of a number of his votes is sufficient to prove that it is but calumny to attempt to make him out opposed to the pension bills, fr- Would it be too much to ask those who have published him as voting against those bills to refer also, to the above that he voted for? They will never take lhat trouble to be just, we fear. : ALSO Mr Polk has beei charged with hard heariedness W refusing1 to vote for a pro position, giving to the poor of Georgetown, D. C, 30 cords of the public wood from the Capitol. Mr Blair of South Carolina moved to amend that motion by making it read so as to authori2e the Sergeant-at-arms to deduct one day's pay from each member to be used for tbe purchase of wood lor the poor. But the previous question was called which, cut off Mr Blair's proposition, and the majority of the House voted away the public wood, instead of taking the money from their own pockets. Mr Polk submitted a few remarks (as reported in Gales & Seatoa's Register of debates) ex olainiog lhat he was unwilling to sauction such a precedent ; but that " he would vole for Mr Blair's amendment with the greatest pleasure." This shews how- badly off are his opponents to find something against him. While Mr Clay's public and private acts are assailable at every pniut, Mr Polk is in vulnerable. The friends of Governor Dorr in Rhode Island are bestirring themselves : holding meetings, and passing resolutions of indigrJa tion at the high handed measures of the char ier party. We should not be surprised if this imprisonment of Dorr for life, revolutionizes the State as regards political opinion. The Augusta Constitutionalist of Aug. 1st, contains t.vo communications severely rebuking three whig orators who made speeches in Augusta ou the 27th ult. " Mr Yeadon of the Charleston Courier was one; and it is said that his spoech, for vulgarity and obsccnily surpassed auyihing ever heard in Augusta foT many a day. vt are inclined lo bull eve lhat Mr Pit ;ii a. ih m November, what Col. lloka has lsftoftho whig majority., " - The Hon.
