structor of the people, to be looked down upon,
instead of being looked up to!
But what is the cause of this state of things?
The question is not a difficult one. It is seen
in the course of the Press itself. When men
by the force of circumstances, rather than their
fitness for the place, get at the head of a
Press, who sink every virtue in a vile subscr
vieucy to their party; whose jaundiced eyes
and prr-judiced minds can see no faults in their
own patty, ur p .lli.ito any in their opponents,
ihe Pre becomes an evil it poisons ihe pub
lic mind t implants in the youthful brpast
l. elitig of ivured, revenge, and malice, which
ire seldom eradicated in afier life.
.Therefore it is that the Press is not respect
It does not respect itself. Some editors
H-.all-ee-ch other liar, and every other epithet
vtiiiHvcan denote a mcaji and depraved creature-;
fd can they expect, lo be respected by
Mh ptitH: when they' thu degrade themselves?
Uf heyl! lhy rerkon without their hot.
We mnko an extract from a paper published
tin 'this 'town, called the Observer; and we
tihrtit'tfceqiiestiou to ati intelligent commu
nity, if 'at tell editors and such publications are
not enough' not only to degrade the press, but
o corrupt auy well disposed mind ?
.Speaking of a neighboring editor, he calls
him re Jerry Sneak of the Standard, who
can't for (hn soul of him, look a gentleman in
th f.ice, -and dfdges iuto bye-places to avoid
rrieetiug o?r," &r.
What is line e-flVt, reader, of that paragraph?
It whs nut wfiuen with the idea thit any body
would fane) i. trtir. for every body who knows
miy thing of Ihe iiMlter, kuows it to be untrue.
Bur it wiuihl mhmm to be only prompted by that
leeo-rooted Motmr-al h.itred, vhich takes en-
lint possession of the bosoms of such meu as
ihe editor vf the Observer.
Hundreds of such extracts might be made
Tiomthe filea vf that paper, if it w ere necessary;
but its character is so well known that it is
useless to make fuither extracts. He seems,
indeed, to be covered with that "vile moral
leprosy ' with which hi sub-editor charged
the- editor of iho Standard. The article which
caused the Standard to discontinue tho ex
"contained the following foul charge :
ihst ' the onchar liable whigs actually loathe
him lhe editor of the Standard as being dis
sed with n vile moral leprosy, that has not
teit a single virtue uucuusuined amid his thou
sand meannesses aud vices."
It is such papers that tiling ihe Press into
contempt. We are sorry to know that we
cannot ltok back' upon our own course with
ut mortification and regret. We Hssumed
the duties of this press almost totally inexpe
rienced as a politician oi an editor; and it is
not to bo woudered at that we should lie led
into tho vices of our neighbors ; but having
eeu. the error, we have been trying to avoid it,
and we hope oiir readers have been benefitted
by the small improvement we have sought to
arromplUh. We love to be respected, and
we desire. to respect others in the same pro
portion ; aud until the same feeling actuates
(he press generally, it will continue to be as it
is now, looked upon as an occupation ouly
til for liars and blackguards.
MINISTER TO ENGLAND. -Mr
Everett having solicited a retail, the high pot
was tendered to Mr Calhoun, aud declined ;
to Mr Elmore, and dm lined; and lastly to
Hon. F. W. Pickeus, who also declined.
This would appear to be an attempt on the
pa it of the Executive to appease South Caro
in ff ,he uncouneoua act of vacating the
office of Secretary of Stale while Mr Calhoun
was the incumbent, aud an important nego
tiation had been commenced by htm, (the
Oregon dispute.) , ..',. ,
It has been said, and we have jio doubt,
with truth, that the politicians of the uorth de
manded that Mr Calhoun should be removed.
If such was the case, U was a most disgrace
ful demand. Again it has been said that Mr
Polk and Mr Calhoun hayet never cherished
much affiliation, political or sochl. ' "
; .REVOLUTIONARY TIMES.
: V have been placed iu possess ion of an
old manuscript, the journal of a soldier of the
Revolution, written out in 1823 by an amao-
uensi. It is not in a stvlo fur nublicatiou.
but we can probably pick out some incidents
if the owner will allow us to retain it awhile.
The author was a Scotchman, from the Isle
of Sky. whose father and mother emigrated to
this country when he was quite small, (eleven
years old,) in the year 1772. They landed
at Wilmington on the 25th of December, and
ascended the fiver iu boats to Cross Creek,"
a village, now known as the Town of Fayette-
ville. He says the name had its or in in in the
fact that, two creeks ran directly across each
other in the town. He left " Cross Creek "
and went to his uncle's, about 16 miles op
Cape Fear river ; but his uncle's wife, who
was not the most generous woman, fed
them on cowpeas and hogmeat." He soon
left there, and weut to live with a bachelor
named John Smith, n brother to Col. Daniel
Smith, of Cumberland county, where he staid
two years. After which he went again to live
with his father on McLen nan's creek, wbeie
he slajd un(i, ho commencement of the Revo
juion aJ wh;ch timP he says almost all the
were as partial to each other as a gang of
buffaloes, and as loyal to their King as the
needle is true to the pole." " Being a whib
relieved fromihe British yoke,' says he, " aud
not yet understanding ihe impoitauce of the

About this lime, he says, two Scotch gen
tlemen carne over from ihe Isle of Sky, to in
fluence the Scotch and keep them loyal. They
raised a regiment and took our hero and his
father into the ranks. Their names were
Daniel McDoaId, with the rank of Brigadier
General, and Daniel McLeod, with the rank
of Colonel. They assembled at Cross Creek,
and inarched down for Wilmington. He
was al the battle of More'.s Creek, on the tory
side. He says the Americans took up the
floor of the bridge, and soaped the fleepers,
n,d a 'be lories came across each sleeper in
single file, just as they were gaining the oppo
site bank, the Americans poured forth a volley
of musketry and artillery which played havoc
w ith the enemy, aud caused a retreat imme
diately. Col. McLeod, of the tory party, re
ceived twenty-four balls before he fell ; he
called to his men to "fiyht on ! America should
not bo free !' The toiies retreated back
eight miles to a camp where they had It-ft Gen.
McDonald, who was sick ; aud fearing an at
lack from the Americans, retreated up Cape
Fear to Smith's Ferry, 2G utiles above Cross
Creek In their retreat, near a place which
he calls Black Mingo, they were met by a
company of cavalry, with ' buck's tails iu
every man's hat." Readers of Revolutionary
history will all remember tho buck's tail plumes
worn by many of the American Companies.
This company of cavalry were soon reinforc
ed, says our author, to about 500 strong, and
took prisoners the wholo party of soldiers, and
after searching them, took nl' their papers
and ammunition, and bade each man depait
to his home; ihe officers they kept prisoners,
aud sent them to Philadelphia. " This expe.
d it ion,'' says he, "took place nbout the first of
February. 1776." The battle of Moore's
Creek was fought ou the 27th of February.
Soon after this, our hero enlisted iu the cause
of freedom. Wo may make some further no
tices of, or ext'acts from, his journal, at our
convenience.
I.et any one who recollects what bitter and
malignant invectives have appeared in the
Fayttteville Observer against (Jen. Saundeis,
look at the last number of that paper, aud see
what e change has come over those columns !
Wheu tho General was running for Cougress
iu this District, ihe Observer called him
every thing but a geutlemau ; no to he makes
Gen. Saunders a great mau, for the purpose of
shewing that if the whigs came so near beating
Aim. they could certaiuly beat any other man!
Upon such conduct the people will make their
own comment, by triumphantly electing Mr
Dobbin, in August next.
The editor of the Fayetleville Observer used
the following trite saying towards the late edi
tor of this paper : "Its an ill bird that fouls
his own nest." Seeing a recent article from
the democratic review, reminds us that, if the
Observer would look at bis own course in rela
tion to annexation, bo would find an " ill
bird " at home.
The general opinion is, that no one need
go to Washington in search ol an otnee, on-
less he first visits Mr Kicnie, wno now occu
pies the principal position in the newspaper
department of the govern ment.,: JVevr York
Herald.
We had determined to say as little as possi
ble about ourselves, as wo have so much better
themes to discuss ; but we seize the opportu
nity which this gratuitous assertion gives us,
of correcting it, and placing us right before
the public. We take no part in the removals
or appointments of the administration. We
recommeud no one to office. . We have de
clined interfering in behalf of bur nearest
ueignoors and best mends. Union
TH E ORGAN .The National Intelli
gencer has taken the pain3 lately to try to
make it appear that up to Gen. Jackson's ad
ministration, there wa. no Government 'Or
gan?' at Washington. Of course when the
Intelligencer was getting the pnp" it was
not the government paper. Mr Adams did
not make an "organ" of it? nor JMr Monroe?
nor Madison? Oh no ! If Mr Adams had
succeeded iu obtaining submission to his
alien and sedition laws, there might not have
been much necessity for a government paper,
because, the liberty of ihe Press would have
been stifled, and one really very annoyiug
practice stifled with it. W e refer to the thou
sand uouseusicnl aud groundless rumors
which are daily circulated by the Press, and
furnished from Washington city by the band
of hired scribblers who iufcst the place.
It h actually necessary in the existing state '
of afTairs that there should be a Press at Wash
ington in the. confidence of the Government,
through which the public may be furnished
with correct information, and the public mind
set at rest whenever it may be excited by Ihes
frdse rumors. We do not ki w that it is par
ticularly desirable that it should be confined
to one Press, but it is natural that the govern
ment should select such Press or Presses, a.
are not hostile to its measures, through which
to make its communications.
No one can approve of a parasitical Press
at the seat of Government ; and it cannot be
said that Mr Blair ever conducted such a one;
and we haidly think Mr Ritchie will. If
there is any one et of men, or Presses, more
than another, addicted t the use nf thai faw n
ing flattery so disgusting lo honorable men,
it is Ihe whig party and iN presses. The Ra
leigh Reqister which is brother to the Intelli
gencer, is the most hameicss hand al it that
we have ever seen.
Wo should never have heard any complaint
from Mr Gales, of a Government paper, if the
Intelligencer had been the favored "organ."
FOURTH DISTRICT. Jonathan Worth,
Esq., has been nominated by ihe whig Con
vention for tho 4th District, which met at
Asheboro on the 7th inst., as the whig candi
date for a seat iu the 29th Congress.
Eetters were read from ex-Governor More
head and Ralph Gorrell, Esq , declining to
be candidates. Then carro the ballotings
each county giving as nianv votes as it had
Commoners, and a majority of the whole num
ber of votes declaring the nominee. For
Geo C Mendeiihall, of Guilford Davidson
2, Guilford 3. For Jonathan Worth, of Ran
dolph Montgomery 1, Anson 2. For H B
Elliott, of Baudoiph Uandolph 2. For
Gen. Alfred Dockeiy, of Richmond Rich
mond 1. The next vote was: For Menden
hall, Guilford and Davidson, 5 ; fr Worth,
Randolph, Montgomery and Anson, 5; for
Dockery, Richmond, 1. Gen. Dockery was
then withdrawn; whereupon Mr Worth receiv
ed the nomination, Guilford and Davidson
still adhering to Mr Mendenhall.
There will not probably ho y Ior-raf if
candidate, but it is not unlikely Mr Uorth
will have opposition from his own side. The
Greensboro Patriot says ' Mr Worth is a
mong the "original panel" of whigs;" by
which is mean, wc suppose, a federalist of
the Hartford Convention stamp.
Mr Woith accepted the nomination: so that
matter is settled. The Couveution thought Gen
Dockery had won laurels enough in Iho late
legislature, by his firmness cf purpose and
strength of intellect." It is said the Obser
ver editor had spasms when he heard that the
General didn't get the nomination. He
could raise but one voto at either balloting ;
and that was his own county.
" What shadows we are and what shadows
we pursue."
It appears that we were in error in slating
that Mr Graham was opposing Mr Clingman
in the Mountain District. The papers from
that diicction say (here is bat one candidate
since Gen'l. Eduey withdrew.
Mr Clark, the democratic candidate for
Congress in the Edgecombe District, has
taken the field and exchanged shots with
Messrs Toole and Stanly at Washington,
Beaufort county. Mr Clark proposed to Mr
Toole that they should both withdraw, and let
some third man be the candidate, but Mr
Toole would not agree to it. Wc hope the
democrats will shew him that they prefer prin
ciples to men.
THE flit; II T SPIRIT .
We have been
requested lo state that a meet in" will be held I
at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening next,
the 20th inst., at 8 o'clock, of all enrolled

The Srwrr of Texas. The Uuion

A CONVENTION of southern Baptists
assembled at Augusta, G a., on the 7th inst.,
fr lha purpose, we believe, of taking into
consideration, a separation from ihe northern
wiug of the Church. A difference has arisen
amou; the northern and southern Baptists
I upon the same subject (slavery) which is about
tocaure a division of the Methodic E. Church
of tht North aud South. We fiud ihe case
stated thus by a correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury :
"Ihe Baptists have for a long time been
carrying r,n Missionary operations through a
" lnuial Convention" representing all the
Stafts. This Convention has a "General
Boad," which meets annually; also an "Act
ing Board," to sit at all times as occasion may
reqtjrr. jjut twelve months ago the Trienni
al Contention declared its intention to remain
neirai' on the Slavery question. The Act
ing Joard, after the adjournment of the Con
venbn, replied to the interrogatory of the Al
abama Church that it could not consent to
the fypointment of a Slaveholder to any field
off&'Sn Missionary labours. This board
M tlatged with all such appointments, and
Soiijeru money his been for years aud years
goii tn support its operations.
le Ge neral Boa id has lately been occu
piecin examining this decision. Thev have
beet? session at Providence, R. I. Messrs.
Jetejand Taylor, of Virginia, attended the
meehg, and are here to report the results.
'I he k it the meeting in session. Dr. Wy
landPiesidenl of the Triennial Convention,
wasinderMood to be opposed to the decision
of tl; Board. He offered a resolution to that
effe but it whs ut thought at all probably
that; would be carried. Amendment after
annulment was tacked on to it, aud the im
preson seemed to be that the Board would
be s-.tainerf, or at most but slightly censured;
just hough to save appearances.
'lb Convention at Augusta have deter-
minl to organize a separate society for the
prorgati-jti of the Gospel, and committees
wen appointed lo draw up a scheme and
malodl tho necessary arrangements for en
ablir the Baptist Church of ihe south to act
sepately and independently of the same
deuniuation at the north.
'HE M. E. CHURCH. A Convention
of e Methodist Episcopal Church met at
Luuville, Ky., on tho 1st of May, for the
purjse of airanging a separate southern or-
ganatiou of that Church, and no doubt the
objti has been accomplished.

'he Secretary of the Treasury is prover
bialir his industry, and marked for his sa
gact. He, too, is constant iu the execution
ol'bjduties; aud M gives us more pleasure to

kly of the most useful statistics, so as to en
Jo thorn, w ithout loss of time and with the
i of the best materials, to proceed in form
ir, the best, and wisest, and most nearly
till system of revenue that can be adopted.
e have I in le doubt the secretary will at least
chis part iu bringing the treasury back to a
fr, equal and jusl revenue standard, and in
eializing the public burdens. The present
lift" can scarcely stand as the permanent
stem of this great country. It is too unequal
i itself too oppressive upon some interests,
t partial to others too favorable to the rich,
t burdensome to the poorer classes of the
mmunity. The sooner it is reduced, the
h'.er for all. It is better for the maniilac
ters themselves to understand on what tbiy
a to calculate. It is better for the rich capi
tists to have moderate and stable duties, (hau
lisc which are too high, and, on that account.
trer fixed, but nhvavs unpopular and always
fctuating. It is better for the tranquility of
tl administration better for the prosperity
itbe whole people."
From this, it appears certain, that the pre
sit Admin itratiou will recommend a revision
olho present tariff". We bad been told as
rich before by the Hon. the Chairman of ihe
Gniniltee of Ways and Means. The whig
p3rs who always (preteud lo) know more

THE FOREIGN NEWS brought by the

and detained the steamer to bring us the thun

The principal topic of excitement, and
which seems to have raised a tremendous
commotion for such a subject to raise, was
the annual appropriation fur the Roman Catho
lic College of Maynootb iu Ireland.. The
