THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS.
Since Walter F. Leak, Esq., became a candi
date for Congress in this District, he and Mr
Ashe have visited several of the counties and
have addressed the people. As yet the contest
has not taken a turn to arouse public feeling in
a high degree, and it may be for this cause we
have heard less than usual of the progress of the
parties. It is well known to our readers that
we have advocated the election of Mr Ashe from
the outset, because we believe him to be a faith
ful representative of the District, and an ardent
and reliable friend of the Administration.
It is but an act of common justice and fairness
towards that Administration, that members
should be sent to the national legislature, from
democratic districts, who will concur with the
President in opinion respecting questions that
may divide the two parties of the country. To
make the Administration effective and powerful,
those elected to Congress as democrats must be
its friend, or the policy enunciated at Baltimore,
which the President has declared to be his, will
fail to accomplish anj' cood for the country.
The system of "plunder and robberv" practised
upon the old States, as the vying press is pleased
to term it, derived its potency and its most mis
chievous effect from the sanction of Mr Fill
more's administration. He signed these bills
which have given such offence to his own party,
and thereby aided in the enactment of laws
fraught with iniquity the most foul to a large
part of the country. President Pierce, it is well
known, is opposed to this system of unequal
legislation, and we need not fear in the next f..ur
years that any cause will arise for alarm in the
whig party concerning a matter which their
modrl President, Mr Fillmore, approved and en
couraged as far as he had power.
Mr -Ashe agrees with the President upon the
question of the public lands. Mr Leak, as far as
we can understand him, takes the opposite po
sition He assumes that the "plundering sys
tem" will go fin, (although he knows that the
veto can check it,) and by taking this for grant
ed, he makes an argument that the public lands
la rids ought to be divided th itthedivisionshonld
be insisted on by the old States in self-defence.
In making this argument, Mr Leak places the
President in the attitude of being either unwill
ing or unable to correct this evil so complained
of. Mr Fillmore might have checked it by the
ue of the veto. President Pierce can and will
do it, by the exercise of that wholesome power.
If he does it, and we are sure he will, then Mr
Leak must return to his first position, and de
clare with the democratic party, that the public
domain ought to be kept for national purposes.
or he must become an advocate for divison out
and out. No administration can succeed if those
who claim to be its fr iends are distrustful, at the
oi.tset, ol its integrity. Either of these objec
tions to Mr Leak is, in our mind, sufficient. If
he is not willing to trust the President upon the
question of the public lands, we are not willing
to trust him if he is against the President now,
ice are against him. Mr Leak, in his letter from
Lntnberton, alludes, as he often does, to his long
services, and to the time w hen the Editor of this
paper was in the "nursery." So he thought and
spoke last winter when he told gentlemen in
this place that it was unjust in the democratic
party to overlook veterans like Saunders and
himself, and take up a young man like James C.
Dobbin for the Senate of the United States.
Does he remember the time he spent in Raleigh
during the senatorial contest? Was it to aid in
upholding his party at a time of high excitement?
to bring about organization, or to produce dis
traction? Let Cumberland, Robeson, Duplin,

Brunswick, all speak out.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES IN N. C.
A correspondent of the Washington Union,
writing from Raleigh, gives the following view
of the congressional canvass in this State:
In the first District (Edenton.) the old mem
ber, Col. Outlaw, whig, is opposed by Dr. H. M.
Shaw, late Senator in the State Legislature. Dr
Shaw is active and able. Col. Outlaw was in
early life a decided State-rights democrat then
went of I against Gen. Jackson in the eventful
days of nullification, and finally sided with the
whigs. He opposed with much earnestness the
nomination of Gen. Scott, and then supported
him. It is hoped that Dr. Shaw will be elected,
as a change of 200 votes would elect h:ni.
In the second district, (Newbern,) there is no
doubt expressed of the election of Col. Thomas
Ruffin, the democratic nominee. Indeed, no
w hig has had rashness enough to oppose him.
lie is a bold, ardent, and untiring advocate of
southern rights, and will prove a useful member
in Congress. Gen. pierce majority in this dis
trict was more than 2,000. Col. R. is opposed
by Mr Loft in, also democrat
In the third district, (.Wilmington,) the Hon.
Wm. S. Ashe, and Walter F. Leak, Esq, are can
didates both are democrats. Gen. Pierce's ma
jority in this district was more than 2,000.
In the fourth district, (Raleigh,) the Hon. A.
W. Venable is a candidate. His opponent is A.
1 . Lewis. Esq, also a democrat. Our majority
in this district is 1,S00.
In the fifth district, (Guilford,) the late de
feated whig candidate for Governor, John Kerr,
is alone in the field. It may be supposed, as be
has no opposition, that he is to be elected in a
district decidedly whig 1 ,'J00 majority in the
presidential, elect ion.
In the sixth district, CoL R. CPuryesr, whig,
of Surry county, is opposed by George D. Boyd,
democrat, of Rockingham county. The whig
majority at the last presidential election was
1,000, although at the governor's election Gov.
Reid, who is a native of this district, carried it.
The contest is animated, and Boyd holds very
uneasy his opponent, who maintains all the ex
ploded heresies of the whig party.
In the seventh district (Mecklenburg.) Burton
Craig, dem, contends against James W. Osborne,
whig. This is a very doubtful district, and gave
Gen Scott a small majority, 1U9 But the able,
ndefatigable exertions of the gallant Craig, his
bold and ardent advocacy of the true principles
of government, and his exposure of the course
and conduct of tte opposition, will secure his
election beyond all doubt. Mr Craig is a man
that never turns his back to friend or foe. In
his person there w ill be few taller men in Con
gre s,and none taller intellectually.
In the eighth district, (Buncombe,) the old
member, Hon. Thos. L. Clingman, meets again
his opponent B S Gaither, Esq, who was beaten
so badly last election that we had forgotten he
was ever a candidate. There is" no doubt of his
success.
GEN. PIERCE AND HIS APPOINTMENTS.
The whig presses are endeavoring to make
the impression on the minds of the people that
Gen. Pierce has appointed many free-soilers to
office that is, men known to be favorable to the
agitation of the slavery question. The Wash
ington Union, in an article on this subject, says
I " that Gen. Tierce has appointed no man to office
knowing or believing Lim to be a free-soiler ;
and he stands pledged to correct an' such ap
appointment into whieh he may have inadver
tently fallen, when the facts of present free
soilism is fixed on any of his appointees."
CONVENTION OF THE SOLDIERS OF
THE WAR OF 1S12. We notice that a call is
made for a convention of the surviving soldiers
of the war of 1S12, to be held in the City of
Philadelphia, on the Sth day of January, 1S54.
The proposition has already been warmly second
ed by public meetings held in some of the north
ern States. The follow ing resolution was adopt
ed at a very large meeting of the soldiers of
1S12, held in Philadelphia, on the ISthult:
" Resolved, That a Convention of all who
Three ineffectual shots were fired, when the
mtrwas satisfactorily adjusted The weapons
used were rifles, 30 paces distant, and it seems
very strange that one could not kill the other
in three trials wonder if there was any ball in
the rifles Two other duels were fought in
San Francisco one killed and one wounded.
The ship Pathfinder had arrived with Hong
Kong (China) dates of April 27th.. The capture
of Nankin, and subsequent defeat of the rebels,
are fully confirmed. The insurgents practised
various cruelties. They were making an indis
criminate slaughter of the Buddist priests, as
well as of the Manchows At Nankin they burnt
700 women in one building They also pressed
every Chinese between the ages of 15 and 45 into
the army, killing the children as useless, and
making the women cooks and scullions. At
Nankin the leader of the rebels had been crown
ed Emperor. Fears were entertained at Canton
that the tabble would rise on learning the suc
cess of the rebels.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS are of common oc
currence now-a-days A freight train, near
Wilmington, Del., was thrown into Brandy wine
Creek, in consequence of the draw bridge being
left open. The locomotive, tender, and some of
the cars fell through and were shattered to
t pieces, killing the engineer and fireman, and in
juring others. We are satisfied, from experience,,
that at least nine-tenths of these accidents are
caused by the gross negligence on the part ofi
engineers, switch tenders and bridge keepers.

PUBLIC LANDS DISCUSSION AT KEN-
ANSVILLE GEN. JACKSON VETO MES
SAGE. A correspondent of the Wilmington
Journal writes to that paper as follows:
" I was present at Kenansville at the discus
sion between Messrs Ashe and Leak, and had my
attention drawn by the reference of both the
gentlemen to one of the most able state papers
ever written Uy Gen. Jackson 1 mean his veto
land bill message. Each of the gentlemen quot
ed from this message, and in older to sustain
himself, cheerfully oflered to bear half the ex
penses necessary to issue ten thousand copies of
it in pamphlet form for distribution
This otler was intended as evidence of the
sincerity of their respective opinions, but in the
conclusion of their debate Mr Ashe stated as he'
was willing, yea, anxious, to let the vwters of
the District decide who was correct fn his quo
tations from the message, he wished Mr Leak
would adhere to his proposition to have it re
printed, each of them bearing half of the expen
ses. Fiom this Mr Leak backed out. This back
out clearly shows a consciousness on the part of
Mr Leak that he had misquoted Jackson's opin
ions on the distribution of the lands among the
States. But in order entirely to satisfy myself,
1 procured a copy of the message and have given
it a careful perusal, and well, indeed, might Mr
Leak back out ; for it does appear to me that
there is not a single sentence m the message but
w hat is authority against him. The bill in ques
tion was one for the distribution of the proceeds
of the lands among the several States, as also a
partial distribution of the lands themselves.
Jackson, in his veto, after reviewing the different
deeds of cession, shows conclusively, that no
distribution of the lands or their proceeds among
the States could be consistent with the different
deeds of cession ; and as the Constitution of the
United States makes all of these compacts bind
ing on the present Government, he concluded
that Congress had no right to pass such a bill.
But independent of the want of power in Con
gress to do this, the old General expressly de
clares that there are other considerations which
would compel him to veto the bill."
Here follows a long extract from Gen. Jack
son's reto message, Dec. 4, 1S33, showing the
fatal policy of distribution.
OCf-The following resolution was unanimously
passed by the late Democratic State Convention
of Vermont .-
