ring the last campaign in North Carolina, which
was so prolific, of misrepresentation and calumny,
as the affairs of the Literary Board; Being ex
clusively under the management of Whigs, they
were openly charged as unworthy of confidence.
It was insinuated, if not directly alleged, that the
members of the -Board were using the public
funds for electioneering purposes, and even the
Governor was charged with applying portions of
it to the purchase of Cotton on speculation ! Out
of their own mouths are they condemned. A

Mr. Wheelek having failed to disclose this fact

unanimously 'rejected, as it was a mere escrow as
to Mebahe. The next day, Col. Wheeleb in-
demnified Stone to sign the Bonds, when they
were againe-delivered by. Wheeler for appro

With all due deference, it is our settled con
viction, that the Hon. .Bedford Ubown is " as
mad as a March hare" on the subject of Banks,
and the general politics of the country. No mat
ter what subject comes before the Senate, wheth
er or not .- it has the slightest connection with
Banks or Politics, the Honorable. Senator hangs
a Speech on it, -and vents his spleen to his heart's
content. It was only last week, that on a bill to
amend the School Law, he went into an elaborate
dissertation of matters and things in general, lug
ging in a comparison between the expenditures
under Mr. vav Buben s last year of Administra-
I tion, and the first year of Whig rule that is, which
commenced in Whig, and ended in the worst sort
of Loco Focoism. And, on Thursday last, Gen.

-C THAT SAME X)U COON.
A special' election was held in GeorgiaVlorfthe
first Monday of this month, for a Member of Con-
gress, to supply ine vacancy occasionea joy , ine
death of Mr. Habersham. The vote Was by Gen
eral Ticket, and of course tested the relative
strength of parties in the State, as fully' as a Pre-
sidential Election could have' done. ' The result
is, that George W CRawTORD, the Whig Can
didate, is elected by several thousand majority over
his opponent, Alexander McDottgaXl. We be
leve that, from this time forward the old Coon
will keep wide awake.

We were a good deal amused with a jolly Whig
the other day, from an Eastern County, who, de
termined to look on the bright side of every thing,
was congratulating himself, that although all his
old associations and sympathies were broken up
by the new arrangement, he had at least the con
