A political discussion between Messrs Ashe and Leak came off in Wilmington, on the 1 1th The Herald (the whig paper) gives quite a lauda tor account of Mr Leak's speech, and mentions several of the good and forcible things spoken by him. The Herald thinks that Mr Leak "must take among the people." Mr Leak advocates that view of the question of distributing the public lands which, we doubt not, will cause him to take with that portion of the people who believe with tl?e Herald on the question. The Herald represents Mr Leak as saying that he would "go for Bennett's Bill, if he could pro- Mr Beverly Rose, and adjoining me noiei !--.... j mnreJ We did not know before, that ly occupied by Mr Harman, loot of Haymount, j thig jeng,h on the q,iestion.

The National Intelligencer of the 11th inst publishes a long letter from N. P.Tallmadce, in which the truth of spiritual manifestations is advocated with considerable plausibility. The letter contains many ery remarkable and almost incredible statements. For instance the writer says, that when in Washington City he visited the Misses Fox, who are professed mediums of spiritual intercourse, and that he, having seated himself on a table, was raised by an invisible- agency six inches from the floor, and for a few mon ents kept in that situation. Several com munications are also a Hedged to have been re ceived from the spirit of John C. Calhoun, amongst others the following : My friend the question is often put to you, what good can result from these manifestations?' I will answer it. It is to draw mankind togeth er in harmony, and convince skeptics of the im fcrtality of the soul. John C. Calhoun." And again Calhoun, on being requested to give something in his own hand -vriting, returned the following sentence: "I'm with you still.. The writer proceeds : .

Robert P. Dick, Esq., of Greensboro, has been appointed United States District Attorney for North Carolina. This appointment we regard tlv imlicious and proper. Mr Dick is a gentleman of fine talents and most estimable character, in the prime of manhood and the full enjoyment of all of those faculties which so ad miiahly qualify him for t lie distinguished posi tion which lie has been called on to fill.

But it is unnecessary to recapitulate Let the render examine the figures for himself and he will perceive at a rlance, that the plan of distribution involved in Bennett's Bill was one of the most unequal and unfair that could have been devised.

The result wis not known. says th it Calhoun was in " I'm" for " I am," and that he has numerous letters from him where the abreviatiou is thus used. Mrs Gen. Macomb has stated the same fact to me. She says that her husband, the late Gen. ! Macomb, has shown her Calhoun's letters to him, where the abreviation I'm" was used for " I am," and spoke of it as a peculiarity of Cal-ho-in. How significant, then does the fact become ? We have not only the most unequivocal testimo ny to the handwriting itseif. but, iest any skep tic should sutruest the possibility of an imitation or a counterfeit, this abbreviation, peculiar to himself, and known only to his most intimate friends, and which no imitator or counterfeiter could know, is introduced by way of putting such a suggestion to flight forever." From his investigations of the subject, Mr Tallmadge draws the following conclusions: 1. The immortality of the soul. 2. The power of spirits to visit the earth. 3. Their ability to communicate with friends and relatives. 4. The identity of spirits to all eternity. We place no confidence in the deductions which are made in Mr Tallmadge's letter. There is certainly something very extraordinary in the fact that gentlemen of the first order of talents and used to close and difficult investigation should be deceived by the so called spiritual rap pings, but the careful reader of history will bear XrUNT VERNON.

This is the secret of thtir success, and accounts for the im meuse fortunes realized by many of them.

If it were certain that the pnldic lands would be squandered on the new States, theie might liable to imposture, and are, not unfrequently, the dupes of a trickery which afterwards appears transparent.

The Magistrate of Police and Commissi ners of Fayetteville have p assed a twwn ordinance requiring that all houses erected in the district lately burnt shall be fire proof. This is a good regulation. A fire-proof house is the only kind which ought to be erect ed in a town. tion. It seerns to us to involve ine auuussion that Mr Leak is endeavoring to make the Demo cratic party change its front on this question. We think that even he, with all his ingenuity and industry, will find this a somew hat difficult task. The Democracy of North Carolina are not of a material to be twisted about by political as pirants. I hey are sufficiently intelligent io un derstand the principles of their party, and ot the United States. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. The Raleigh Standard of the 15th inst , con tains the following extract from a letter ad dressed to the Editor: Alamance Co., June S, 1S53. ' In my neighborhood, which is in the south- j west corner of Alamance, within one quarter of a mile ot a puoiic roau, upon ine sioe or a neigh detect any deviation therefrom by those i borhood road, there is blood found on some fif- seek their suffrages. We have said thus much because wehave thought that ourallegiancetothe principles of the Demo cratic party required it. With Mr Leak, our rela tions are of the most friendly character. When Mr McRae came out for Congress we felt it to be our dutv to oppose his election. Mr Leak oc cupies, we believe, the same ground upon the teen bushes and trees, one stirrup iron, part of a stirrup leather, part ot a martingal, a club cut at the place with blood and hair upon it; and from the color of the hair it must have been a Kiav and sorrel or a bay horse.

RIOTS AT QUEBEC AND MONTREAL Father Gavazzi, the anti-Catholic lecturer, was j mobbed in Quebec on the 7th inst. The assault was made on him whilst in the pulpit. He de fended himself with determined bravery, knock ing dow n several of his assailants with a chair. He was at length dragged from the pulpit by the legs and throw n on the heads of the people be low, whence l e escaped into the basement of a house, where he remained until a squad of sol diers conducted him to his Hotel. On the following 9th, Gavazzi lectured at Mon treal. A mob again made an attack, and over powered a force of 20 or 30 policemen who were stationed outside the church where the lecture was going'on. The mob forced their way into the church but were repulsed by a force of 15 or 20 men posted inside. Several of their number were killed or wounded. After the congregation had commenced dis persing a company of soldiers, without any suf ficient cause, fired two volleys into the crowd, killing or mortally wounding 15 persons, and injuring 10 others. Great excitement prevails inconsequence of this, and the Mayor of the city is universally condemned for having ordered the troops to lire without sufficient cause. believe Mr Ashe the better Democrat of the two, and we therefore support him. NEW YORK. CITY REFORM. The New Yorkers, becoming tired of the vil lainy and corruption of their City Authorities, have held an election upon the subject of reform ing their charter, so as to strip the city govern ment, to some extent, of the power of swindling so liberally used of late for their own special ad vantage. The National Intelligencer says : The vote for the new charter was 36,072, whilst the vote against it was only 3,351 giv ing a majority exceeding 33,000. The amend ments give the Mayor the veto power, to be over ruled only by a "two-thirds vote of Common Council; prohibits the Aldermen sitting as judges of criminals courts; allows only the more popu lar branch of the Common Council to originate appropriation bills; prohibits the expenditure of the public money for celebrations excepts on es tablished national and State holidays, unless au thorized bv a three-fourths vote ot the Common Council; prohibits contracts to persons in arrears or default to the city; guards against corruption and bribery by public officers; regulaies lease and sale of public property, and contains other pro visions, which, if laithlully carried out, will put an end to the reckless expenditure of money, and the official corruption which it is alleged have for a long time characterized the municipal ad ministration ot that city." struggle on the spot, and some one may have been murdered.

M., and arrived at the Falls at 2 P. M. The distance is 305 miles. The average tunning time was upwards of 3S miles per hour. CROPS AND COPPER IN THE WEST. The Editor of the Salisbury Banner writing from Rutherfordton under date of June 6th says: Fine rains fell here during the past week, and crops are in flourishing condi tion A good deal of forward wheat has already been reaped. A vast amount ol grain could be raised here, and would be if there was a market for it." Further ou he says : The mining interest of this section has not progressed much for suuue time past ; but it will doubtless receive a new impulse when Prof. Ktnmons conies to make a sur vey here. Mr Northrop, four miles from this place, is preparing to work his mine extensively, and has ordered a large, en gine for the purpose. Success to him, for, from all I can learn, he ileserves it. Mr K.. P. Willi, f McDowell, showed me some specimen of copper ore a few davsao, which he found in Ashe county. I a"m but a pour judge, but the ore appeared to be rich- Mr Willis is very sanguine in the belief that there are extensive copper mines in Ashe and Yancey. I doubt not that a careful survey of this whole Wes tern section will develop mineral wealth which will astonish the natives." $3- James G. Cook, Esq, of this place, has been elected President of the Fayetteville and Centre Plank Road Company. SUPREME COURT.
