Let us look for a moment at the principles of
the two, and see which is on the right side and
which on the wrong. The present incumbent
the Elon. A. M. Scales, was elected two years
ago, I have no doubt by a few of your votes.
Well, let us look at him in Congress, and at
his principles now, He told you when ho was
canvassing the district two years ago, that the
Democratic party was the only party to save
the Union, and that if you would vote for him
he and lus party would put the Government on
a firm foundation, and that tbe Democratic par
ty would reduce the expenses of tbe Govern
ment to a far smaller sum than it was at. that

About 7 o’clock a large procession on horse-,

by tbe Salem Brass Band. The procession was
conducted with proper order and decorum un
der the charge of W. II. Wheeler, Marshal,
assisted by S. C. James and F. W. Leinbach.
The music of the band added much to enliven
the occasion.
At 10 o’clock, there was service in tbe church,

A Frog in the Stomach.—A son of Mr.
Charles Davis, in Gould’s Court, leading from
Montgomery, near Light street, has caused the
family great uneasiness for three years past in
consequence of bis being subject at times, for)
hours together, to spasms and teriblo fits.
Physicians were consulted, but all their inves
tigations failed to reveal the causes that pro
duced the malady, Yesterday afternoon,
about three o’clock, when entering the house,
the lad was seized with the symptoms of his
malady, and in a fit of retching, threw upon
the floor a live frog, about two inches in length.
The frog hopped gaily about the floor until
secured by the family. Instant relief was ex
perienced by tbe lad. His name is William
Davis, and he is about ten years of age. He
has DO recollection of the time the frog was ta
ken into the stomach, but hie father thinks it
was swallowed with his drink about, three years
ago, whan he was first afflicted with fits.

the only five members of the Order who could

foreseeing the evils that would ensue, if the
system of self-institution was continued, they
applied to and obtained from a competent legal

legally constituted and duly authorized as the
head of the Order, to grant charters and exer

The Lexington Mail Route.—This
mail route was regularly bid off, but at a
very low figure, and the publisher of the
Sentinel guarantied for the successful bid
der. It turns out to be a ruinously low
bid; and, in order to relievo the parties,
we learn, the line has been discontinued
within the last few days, Hon. Alfred M.
Scales using bis influence to effect the dis
continuance, thus delaying the Southern
mail, at this place, some four or five hours,
for the pecuniary relief of a few party
friends!
By this arrangement, at least one very
important Post Office, “Midway,” in the
midst of a numerous and highly respecta
ble community, is deprived of its former
mail facilities, merely for the purpose of
rescuing a few party friends from the haz
ard of pecuniary loss !—Mr. Scales used
his influence in this matter, wc learn; and
be was also instrumental, in having the late
Postmaster at Kernersville removed,
seems to be very officious.

in Washington to be with the Democratic par
ty and here before thee people he is opposed to
them for tbe purpose of getting y mr votes.—
Mr. Scales says be is opposed to tbe Protector
ate over Mexico, opposed to the Pacific Railroad
bill, and opposed to the thirty million Cuba
bill. Pray tell me how be can be opposed to
them when the Democratic party and James
Buchanan say they are Democratic measures,
and Mr. Scales supports both James Buchanan
and the Democratic party, Itis a settled max
im of the Democratic party that its members
must be governed by the Administration.— I
say, freemen, look well at the principles of the
Democratic candidate in this District before
you vote lor him ; look well, for if you cast
your votes for him you will say to him by those
same votes, “Go to Congress,” Mr. Scales, and
spend as you see proper to spend ; wc are wil
ling for our own shoulders to bear tbe burden.”
You might as well say to him, “Put your hand
into my pocket and just take as much as you
ploase.”
Whigs of this District, march to the polls in
August next and vote for a man whose priuci
pies are opposed to the uncalled for expenses
of the Government, and who is in favor of
North Carolina receiving ajust proportion of
tbe public lands, and also the bill that passed
tbe last Congress, which the model Democratic
President vetoed, appropriating a certain am
ount of the public lands for the purpose of erec
ting and endowing Agricultural Schools and
Colleges; and who is opposed to direct taxation
and in favor of a revision of the tariff so as to
bring in a sufficient revenue to support tbe
Government under an economical Adminiatra
tion. These are the principles that General J.
M. Leach stands upon. I trust and sincerely
hope that every Whig will go to the polls and
vote. If every one will do so the victory is
most assuredly ours, but depend upon it if you
do not it is lost. Then let every Whig be an
executive committee and talk with bis neigh
bor and urge him to the election.

in excluding slavery; for which, says the Iowa
paper, (and echoes the official paper,) “we
boldly aver be [Mr. Buchanan] stands worthy
of the support and endorsement of the demo
cratic party every where.”
“2d. It has put an end to the fillibustering
expeditions of Walker & Co.”
Has it? How and when? All tbe pub
lished accounts show that these expe iitions put
an end to themselves, without any agency of
tbe administration.
“3d It has put an end to the rebellion in
Utah, and established peace and order in that
Territory.”
No other paper has the news. All other ac
counts concur in asserting that there is still
very serious trouble in Utah.
Nos. 4, 5 and 6 assert the successful prose
cution of tbe Indian wars in Oregon, Washing
ton and New Mexico, and compelling tbe In
dians to sue for peace on the Administration’8
own terms. Why then did the “Administra
tion” kill 25 men and 20 women in a fight
with tbe Indians the o?ber day?
“11th. It has admitted two new free States
into the Union, and thus secured a large exten

Does “the democratic party everywhere,”'—■
the Southern democratic party—consider this
a feather in the cap of Mr Buchanan’s admin
istration, as claimed?
No. 13 claims that the Administration has
paid off more than nine millions of the public
debt. That is true; but to do that and pay
expenses it borrowed two or three times nine
millions.
“14th. It has reduced tbe expenses of the
government from eighty-one millions to. less
than seventy millions and will soon have them
graduated to a scale of about fifty millions.”
Here is an admission that the expenses were
eighty one millions, either under Buchanan or
Pierce; for it never was pretended that they
amounted to so much before Pierce’s day. It
is amusing to see credit claimed for what the
administration “will soon” do.

rendered sacred by numerous similar scenes,)
was tastefully deccrated with wreaths and fes
toons of evergreen, interspersed with boqucts,
relieved by draperies in “red, white and blue.”
In front of the stand, immediately around the
speaker’s desk were 13 boquets, emblematic of
i the bld 13 states, while on either side floated
I the glorious banners of our Country and State.
The “star spangled banner” on the right and
the well known blue silk flag, which has graced
so many a public demonstration, on tbe left,
on which is inscribed, “North Carolina, the
first to declare, and the last to surrender her
Independence.” Above the speaker appeared
the well known features of Washington, encir-
cled*with evergreens. This attracted the at
tention of all, and it was remarked, that asjthe
beautifully illuminated paper star, suspended
above the portrait, seemed to ^ fixed, he sup
posed it was emblematic of the fixed and unal
terable veneration with which the “Father of
his Country” was he'd by every American, as
the “Beacon Star” of Liberty.
The National Declaration was read by Dr.
Linebach, in a distinct and impressive manner,
after which the audience sang“Hail Columbia.”
Mr. A. II. Belo was then introduced, and read
the Mecklenburg Declaration, in a very clear
and audible manner. The audience then sang
the “Old North State.” Rev. G. F Bahuson
delivered a short and appropriate address, re
plete with historical facts, drawing suitable in
ferences therefrom, and closing with an elo
quent tribu e to our glorious Union. The
beautiful and favorite “Star Spangled Banner”
was then sung by the audience.
The rest of the evening was given to social
enjoyment, promenading, &c. The illumina
tions and inscriptions were of a character to in
spire one with patriotic feelings. Over the
eastern gate, in front of the Academy appeared
an arch, with the following inscription.
OCR COUNTRY: I
“The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” |
The evening was cool and pleasant, and we
have seldom seen so much gaiety and pleasure.
On the North Eastern gate the inscription read

Beware!
We believe it is generally conceded by
intelligent Democrats and Whigs* that, if
the election were to take place now, Gen.
Leach’s success would be certain.
The only hopes of Scales’ friends are to
effect a reaction of public sentiment during
the present month. We beseech all friends
of Retrenchment and Reform to stand firm.

decided victory over Mr. Scales, in the dis
cussion at Teaguetown. The General
poured hot shot into tbe Administration
ranks, from all sides, and I really pitied
Mr. Scales. Scales was dumb as a lamb
before the shearer, on the expenditures of
the government, to which Gen. Leach drew
the attention of the audience, in a very
happy and impressive manner.
Mr. Scales was also very unfortunate in
bis attempt to vindicate his course in re
gard to the Pension Bill. He said, he
hoped there was no old soldier present, who
for tbe sake of a few dollars pension money
would desire to envolve the general Gov
ernment in more pecuniary difficulty, and
thereby entail a heavy burthen on his pos
terity.
An old soldier remarked, there was no
danger of that, if the affairs of our govern
ment were administered economically. Ile
wanted his pension now.—His children
were all able to take care of themselves,
but a few dollars pension would be very

Mons. Blondin’s Great Tight Rope
Feat at Niagara Successful —The great
feat of walking across the Niagara, below the
chasm, half-way between the Cataract and the
Suspension Bridge, on a tight rope, by Mons.
Blondin, took place successfully this afternoon.
There were present about 5,000 persons. M.
Blondin passed on the rope from the American
to the British side in 17 minutes and a half
stopping about half way and refreshing himself
with a bottle of water drawn up by a rope from
the little steamer “Maid of the Mist,” below.
He returned in 12 minutes.

Information Wanted.—The question
has recently been propounded to us, re
peatedly,—“how much does the Sentinel
get for publishing that Naval advertise
ment,” which we alluded to several weeks
since ?
In answer, we would say, that we have
been informed, one hundred and fifty dol
lars !—And, we would remark, that it is
not worth one cent to the Government.—
Some estimate the Sentinel’s pay at a high
er figure, for this worthless advertisement.
We, however, are not prepared to say any
thing about the amount, definitely.
