f: ( P '-J 1 "Otr's art the, plan of fair, delightful peace, "Unwarp'd by party rage, to livt like brothers.' For the Presidency of the United States, HENRY CLAY, OP KENTUCKY. For Congress, . HENRY W. MILLER, RALEIGEL IN. C. Tuesday, I!Iay33, IS 13, HEADS UP ! It will be seen from the proceedings of an enthusiastic Whig meeting, held in this City on Saturday last, that a Whjg Candidate has been brought out in this Congressional District, in op position to Gen. Saunders. Henri W. Miller, Esq. well known throughout the State as an ar dent and thorough Whig, and as one of our most able", and best informed politicians, has consented to become the champion hf jourprinciples in the coming Tconteat. There is in apparent majority, it is true., of seven or eight hundred against us in the District, but with such a spirit, as Mr. Mil ler manifested in 'his Speee to the meeting on Saturday, no man can tell where the majority lies until after tho Election. Mr. Mills 'has come forward with a zeal and gallantry, that should stimulate -every Whig m the District, to a reso lute and determined course of action. If every Whig will do his duty manfully, the Gerryman ders will be as much aston isbed at the result here, as they recently were in Virginia. What a thrill pf joy would visit every Whig breast throughout the State aye, throughout the Nation rehould the Metropolitan District be redeemed from the bondage of Loco Focoism in August next? Sure ly the people have every reason, as Mr. Miller remarked on Saturday, to bestir themselves. Distress and ruin are seen on every side gloom pervades every breast and even the light of hope seems extinguished. All was well, when the great experiment on the Currency commenced. The experiment is finished; and where are we 1 The people are the sufferers let them rise m their might and again put the ball in motion, which was so successfully started in 1840, and which would, ere- now, have accomplished all that the people desired, had it been permitted to roll on unimpeded. We started it in the Old North before let us start it here again. We can, if we will. A brilliant victory in North Carolina would re-animate every Patriot's heart, and a glorious spirit would be infused into that party, to whom alone the Country can look4 for success. . ' We call upon the various Counties of the Dis trict, to respond to our nomination, and cheer our young champion on in his course. He has adopt ed for his motto the well-known words of his gallant name-sake, the Hero of Lundy's Lane, who, being ordered to execute a desperate sortie, niodestly but fearlessly said" I'LL TRY." EXECUTION. The two Negroes sentenced to be hung at the last Term of Wake Superior Court, were execu ted in this City on Friday last. "- Although the day was very rainy and raw, an immense con. course of personsmbraciag all ages, sexes and conditions, was present to witness the 'scene We have so. often expressed our. opinions as to the utter uselessness of public Executions, in op erating to deter from the' commission of crime,' that we forbear remark here ; but the communi cation of our correspondent Philo, is a practical commentary on the evils of the system. i RUMORS FROM WASHINGTON. It is said that Judge Upshur will be appointed Minister to France, and that Mr. R. M. T. Hun ter, who so lately received the- permission of the People to stay at home and mind his own business, will be called to the Navy Department We learn that John Jones is elected to Con gress in the Richmond (Va.$3istrict .This is not Mr. Tyler John Jones, but Mr. Van Buren's. Each of thoseMistinffuished candidates keen a John Jones. Cannot Mr. Calhoun r.nnt ahant and find one ,Prentice. , i Mr. Calhoun must content himself, with Shocco Jones. Tbe Savannah Republican of Wednesday last says i u We understand some ten or adozn men connected . with the custom-house in this ' City, were yesterday removed. Those who have taken their places, without exception, -were opposed to the election of, Mr. Tyler, and those who- were turned out, with perhapeone exception, were his upponers.- TV AN EXAMPLE.

About the time that the acting President, John Ttlee, was crying at llarrisburg, because Mr. Clay lost the nomination. Wise was every where re-iterating the sentiments of this Letter, and continued to do so up to the period of Mr. Ty ler's accidental elevatiQn. Then a change 'came o'er the spirit of his dream.' -Mr. Clay 1 was found in the way of Tyler's ambitious aspi rations- devoted love was to hatred turned and every element was invoked that might possibly tend to the political annihilation of the great Statesman. Ever since, Mr. Wise has been "treading in the footsteps" of his prototype, Po lonies, who, when asked by Hamlet if he saw M yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a Camel, replied "By the mass, and 'tis like a Camel indeed !' The Prince remarks Methinks,' it is like a weasel,' and the subservient Chamber lain quickly answers -j" It is backed liked a wea teL" But when his master added "-Or like a whale" the flattering sycophant at once .pro nounced it very like a whale." And, as the subservient Polonius, anxious to flatter, humored all the caprices of its master, so does Mr. Wise caress and cajole John Tyler. He writes up or down the same men, or the same system, with the same facts, at the bidding of the President. Ail that he desires is, like the son of ihe Yorkshire Jockey, when about to exhibit the qualities of a horse, to be told, before mounting, whether he is to ride to sell, or to purchase the animal ! But to the Letter Washington, June 19, 1840. Gentlemen : I have delayed answering your of tbe lUlh insi., in s-rUer to inake-oriaugeiiTeiit, it pos sible, to accept in kind inviiaiioo to attend the dinner in honor of Mr. Clay, by tlie citizen of hit native county, iu Taylorsville, on the 27tu mst. I need not teil you what I think of that man, Hen ry Clay, of Hanover. Ha has done for himself, what Ijiends und ioitune can do for no man, and ha ac quired what neither friends nor foes can lake from him 'a lame lor which hiinsel! hat lought, and Irom which no man'acensure can detract. And that fame is At reward. Office could not add a cubit to hit statue. He has reflected honor on the place of his birth ; and a Henry was born there before him ; he has maintained the reputation of Vngmia's sons, and Virginia is mother of Heroes, Statesmen and Sages ! That is enough for any one man ; and it is eno ugh (or you to claim him as yoar own you honor your selves in honoring Henry, Clay. None caa impeach his disinterestedness now, and 1 wish that all Virgin ia, all America, could see him as you will see him ; and bear htm a teacher, an experienced teacher of eternal political truths, and a witness ol' facts lor free dom against freedom's foes. Heed him, I beseech you heed him, whilst you may. For myself, you have said more than I deserved, but not more than I have ardently wished to deserve. I have tried to do my part, and trust that the little 1 have done bas not been in vain. With gratitude to Heaven, I think I see the salvation of the country drawing nigh.. This -work is finished., If arrogant usurpation, presumptuous dictation, flagitious prom-, gacy, nndisguised tyranny, open, frauds, unblushing dishonesty, insidious corruption, enormous extrava gance, with con ten) pt of State Rights and unmitigated abuse of Federal power, a total disregard of the pop ular will, a constant tendency to consolidation to em pire itself, with its standing armies, to overawe' the people and bumble them to submission if mfcrnte in every shape of 'ignorance and vice, and a destructive police, griping upon labor in the name or "! he poor against the rich, and destroying a nation's credit, commerce, currency, spirit and pride, and disorgani zing its institutions, train pi ins; upon the Mood of he roes, and wisdom of sages," if any thing wrong, rotten, and ruinous, can bring an Administration to its downfall and disgrace, the Administration of Mar tin Van Buren has done the work fur itself,' ! With no sinful, selfish exclamation of feeling, but with sincere, gratitude in my heart, and praise on my lips, as a Christian Patriot, I do fervemly thank God that swift destruction,' wX'l soon overtake it, and that it will soon afford another example to the world, that wickedness, among nations at least, will surely merit its own reward on earth. My private engagements will not permit me to be present with you, gentlemen, and I therefore beg you to offer for me the subjoined toast. I am, most gratefully yours, HENRY A. WISE. To Messrs. Wm. F.

The Committee retired, ! and, in a few moments, reported the following : Resolved, that the Whigs of this Congresional District possess a confidence in the purity and ul- j timate success of Whig principles, undiminished ! hy tho treachery of political traitors in o.her fctites, or the gerrymander ins of Dolitical dema gogues at home.

Miller to the voters of the District as a Candidate. Resolved, that it be earnestly recommended to the Whigs of the other Counties, composing this Congressional District, to hold meetings, and take such steps as may be necessary to secure a proper organization for the coming elections. Resolved, that a Committee of two be appoint ed to inform Mr. Miller of his nomination by this meeting The Resolutions having been adopted by ac clamation, Messrs. Gales and Hunter were ap pointed a Committee to wait upon Mr. Miller, inform him of his nomination,' and request his appearance before the meeting, to respond to it The Committee soon returned with that gentle, man, who was received with loud and long con tinuod plaudits. He addressed the meeting in a bold, vigorous and eloquent Speech, in which he gave an outline of his political principles, and concluded by accepting the nomination. Every Whig seemed inspired by the right spirit, and all determined to do their duty. The meeting then adjourned. S. STEPHENSON, CA'm'n. C C. Battle, Sec'y. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Editor: During more than 40 years resi dence in this City, the writer seriously believes, he never witnessed such a melancholy, degrading spectacle, as was exhibited in the streets of Ral eigh, on the afternoon of Friday, tbe 19th ins', after the execution of the two unfortunate colored convicts. At his residence, which is remote from the thick-settled part of the .City, it was compu ted that more than one hundred persons, who left their homes in tbe country to Bee the hanging, were observed to be intoxicated, most of them returning by one outlet from town. If so many inebriates were wending their way in only one direction, what must have been the agregate num ber, who had to take some half dozen different tracks homeward ! One of tbe dying individuals under the gallows, alledged that both himself and employer had drank too much at the time of the murder and urged the vast concourse of people around him, to be warned by his dreadful exam ple of the consequence of drinking ardent liquors. We do really grieve to think that, in this awful instance those solemn admonitions were lost on so large a number of his audience. What a stir rag appeal, this, to the friends of Temperance, for redoubled exertion, in their humane efforts tores cue and save their fellow men from the dreadful practice of Intemperance. PHILO. FOR THE REGISTER. HAVE PITY. On seeing a strong, well-appearing and gen teelly dressed man cutting low jokes on two poor wretches who were this evening receiving at the whipping post tho degrading infliction of 39 lashes on the naked back, I was forciblv struck with tbe small amount of common sense and feeling he must have been owner of. I was grieved for the credit of humanity so badly supported. Surely, thought I, the very beast in the field has some commiseration for the sufferings of its kind and cannot a human being do as much ? " Lay it on him," cried the ruffian to the Sheriff; " the fellow who is. mean enough to steal deserves twice as much." Witless boaster! he had not sense enough to perceive that tbe man who could thus, in perfect sobriety and in the presence of some dozen individuals,, who preserved on the occasion a decent and well-timed silence, turn into ridicule and aggravate the anguish and disgrace of a fellow creature, would be just tbe character most easily tempted, in the opinion of the discriminating, into the commission of a similar or greater offence, if he had the courage and skill to carry it through. Let the guilty receive their reward by all means, and let no mawkish sensibility postpone or pre vent it ; but remember that hunger and misfor tune have the same power over us all that every one of us is made of the same flesh and blood and frail nature, with those who fall under the severe penalty of the law-and that to err not only once but again and again is the common lot of the high est as well as the lowest the richest as well as the poorest The very best amongst us knows not how far the evil hour may be in which his steady resolves and- se-lf control may deceive him. There is no man safe from the snares of the ene my, and, if it should so fall out by our great per severance and grace that some of us shall have escaped without a scratch from the wide forest of his entanglements, it will even then, to scy the least of it be bad taste to halloo. We hare a Sheriff, thank goodness, who is a firm and just man,' and needs no dictation in the exercise of his duties.

TIlOANVASS IiBEAUFORT.' r On Thursday evening of last (Court) we'ek, Messrs. Stanly and Arrington met in the Court Hdus.e in this place. We had heard of the meeting! In Crated and in Pitt and werenxkus to see the Candidates together. Vi j Mr. Stanly opened the discussion, Mr. Airing-! ton having spoken first both in Craven and in Pitt Mr. Stanly spoke for upwards of an hoar in a strain of the most forcible eloquence, such indeed as we have never heard surpassed. He boldly declared his views and opinions on all. tbe great political questions that are agitating the country. . . He said he had always been an advo cate ofthe Bank of the United States ; and show ed the necessity of such an institution to the prosp. rity of the country. He defended his course on the Tariff question, and, by unanswerable ar guments, demonstrated the necessity of a Tariff to the wants of the government and the- people- showed that all the great men among the demo crats Jackson, Van Buren, Calhoun, Benton, Johnson Buchanan, Wright, &c. Sic had all ad vocated and voted for a Protective Tariff. He said he was proud of his course on the Tariff he gloried in it ; and if the thing were to be done over, he would pursue the same course. He showed the absolute necessity the duty imposed upon Congress from which it could not shrink of passing the Tariff bill. He examined, in a masterly manner, all the objections that have been urged against that bill, and showed that they were ut erly worthless of a moment's consideration by any man of sense who has the welfare and honour of his country at heart He defended the policy of the Whig party as to the distribution of the proceeds of tlie public lands among the States contended that it was an equitable claim, which the government is bound to allow on the princi ples of justice ; and in strains of fervent elo quence, depicted the inestimable blessings which the money derived from the lands would have scattered over the country, had it been disttibuted among the States and by them been devoted to tbe noble, the holy purpose of educating the poor children, instead of having been, as it was, squan dered in useless, extravagant and wicked expen ditures. He defended the Whig party against the charges of extravagance, which have so of ten been brought against them ; and by docu mentary evidence, showed that during the short space they have been in power, they have brought down the annual expenditures to less than one half of the annual average of expenditures during Van Buren's administration. He avowed his preference for Henry Clay1 over all other men for the next President ; and in a strain of lofty and thrilling eloquence, enumerated the prominent incidents connected with the career of that great statesman and pure patriot in the service of his country. In his opening cpeeeh, Mr. Stanly was mild and dignified said nothing calculated to offend the most sensitive said nothing to wound any individual spoke in the kindest terms of those democrats whom he highly esteemed personally as neighbors and friends. He was often inter rupted by cheers during his remarks, and when he took his seat there was a long, loud, thrilling burst of applause which shook the walls of tbe Court House. His friends were prouder than ever of him, and his enemies paid involuntary homage to his talents and eloquence. Mr. Stanly having concluded, Mr. Arrington rose, as every body supposed, .to reply to Mr. Stanly's speech ; but instead of attempting to do so, he merely repeated the "little speech, writ ten down in tbe little book which he brought with him from Washington City" the same little speech he had w said by heart" in Craven and re peated in Pitt and which Mr. Stanly knew by heart as well as Mr. Arrington himself, having heard it twice before, and having examined and used up every part of it in his opening speech. The mortification of Air. Aldington's friends was great indeed ; and some of them left the Court House. If, after repeating his little speech, he had taken his seat, a scene would have been spared him, which, if he has one spark of sensi bility, he must remember with the deepest mor tification and shame to the last moment of his life. Instead of stopping when he ought to have done 60, and as be and his friends now wish he had, he proceeded to " arraign and condemn" Mr. Stanly (we use his own words). He sneered at the compliments which were bestowed on Mr. Stanly at Philadelphia, undertook to show off his wit by awkward attempts at ridicule, and by sneers at the avowal that the Terrapin Assembly had districted the State with the' view of getting a man of so little importance as Mr. Stanly out of Congress an avowal made by the democrats themselves in Raleigh,- while engaged in pre paring their gerrymander bill,- m secret caucus. It was in reply to such personalities as these, that Mr. Stanly inflicted upon the young gen tleman from Nash" such a withering castigation as probably has never before been inflicted upon any poor devil since tbe days of old Adam." Hol ding up a candle near Mr. Arringtona face, that every body might have a good view of him, he poured out, for nearly an hour, a torrent of sar casm and ridicule which seemed to wither the subject of them into nothingness, while the whole audience, democrats and all, were convulsed with laughter. He examined in the happiest strain of ridicule Mr. Aldington's letter to the M wheel-hor-S3s," by which he juggled himself into the nom ination ; and the manner in which he ridiculed Mr. Arrington's little speech," showing that he (A.) was as" ignorant as a school boy of all the great political questions which he had attempted to discourse .about in said little speech, was so jus . and so severe, that every body expected eve ry moment to see Mjv Arrington vanish into nought, without leaving behind him even a good sized " grease spot" All pitied him, and towards the las Mr. Stanly himself seemed to pity and to spare brim. - We see already evidence of an attempt to ex cite sympathy for the candidate from near tbe Virginia line," as Ir. Stanly spoke of him. It strikes us as unworthy in One who aspires to re' present this district as Mr Arlington does, to commence an attack to arraign and condemn? his opponent, and then, when his own httle speech, committed Co memory before he left Washington City, is criticised, to whrae pifeoutfly, when he only gets the castigation he hat provoked. We will give an instance of Mr. Arrington! fairness and ctedbr: He tfaid thalJIrV Stanly was unwilling to have Bis votes examined. Tr this charge, Mr. Stanly gave the most positive contradiction. He had expressly aidf in Bis first speech lhat he held himself bound to account foe his votes to his coos" ituents, to' every man irt' the - distrievto the humblest -ae well as the highest ; individual whom he had had the honor to'repre- 1 sent The gentleman had perfect liberty to ex amine his votes but Sir. Stanly tald that ne only clairnfe'dthe right which every free man enjoys id defe&famsey. Mr. Stanly Wdthjehkrge. that he had said no oae hade right to examine hit votes was totally destitute of truth." We hope, therefore, after this; no brie win repeat the charge. Mr. Stanly laid he regretted that it became ne ceasaiy for him to handle Toughly the gentleman who so often called, him bit " worthy friend." But he was at a lost what oourie to pursue. He could not sit still,' in the presence of his friends by whom he had been so highly honored, and hear himself misrepresented; without 4 word id reply. He was at a loss to understand Mr. Ar ring; on, He had said in Greenville, that Mr. Stan ly had insulted him j and to-night; he calls me, said Mr. Stanly, his "worthy friend"! Mr. Arrington provokes the contest, h arraigns nd ch'ddenins' Mr. Stanly; and then finding him self mistaken, most piteously endeavors to profit by it and excite sympathy i What a noble, mag nanimous, chivalrous wheel-horse"! Sympathy and pity he had from: every spectator; but this district cannot elect a man from pity either for his ignorance or vanity. And if by neglect of the Whigs, he should go back to Congress, the State would be pitied indeed. Is Mr. Arrington a spir itless boy ? Is be not at least twenty-seven years old? Have not both he andhii friends boasted that he had a chivalrous spirit Within him 1 And yet when he is used roughly in a contest of bis own seeking, he piteously whines out that he is4 insulted and calls on the people for their sympa thy and pity I We were amused at Mr." Arrington's endeav ors to " run on both sides of the creek at the" same time." He was asked to express his preference for one of the candidates for the Presidency, and he said (as we are informed be said in Newbern and in Greenville) I prefer Mr. Calhoun to Mi. Van Buren ; but although I do not know Mr. Van Buren, if he shall be nominated by the democrat ic convention, I like him equally well with Mr. Calhoun. He was ridiculed by Mr. Stanly for this double dealing. What asked Mr. Stanly, would one of you farmers think of a young man who should com? to visit your house Where you had three or four daughters, and when you asked him which daughter he was addressing, should say, as modestly ail Mr. Arrington does, I have got two choices ! ! Mr. Arrington is: satisfied with whatever the convention will do. But there may be two con ventions, one in November next, and one in May '44. Iridefed front present appearances, such an event seems inevitable. Whom would he pre fer in the convention! Mr. Tyler may be,u?t7Z be, before the convention ; but he has no hesita tion in saying he will not support Mr. Tyler. He expressly said Mr. Tyler was a traitor to the democrats." He finds fault with the Whigs for denouncing Tyler in Congress; yet when he comes home, he is forced to denounce him himself. Poor Captain Tyler ! When will he find out the hyprocisy of those who pretended to sup port him while they coukl embarrasjtthe Whigs, but who, when they return home denounce him as a Traitor"! Mr. Arrington could call and see Tyler at night as we understand he con fessed he did, perhaps in company with Tappan, of Ohio and thank bim for the veto of the Bank bill, and then come home, and in the presence of several hundi ed people, call him a M Traitor"! From what we can learn, Mr. Arrington can never get the support of all his own party, unless he gives a fuller exposition of his political sen timents. He cannot run down here, M with the hare and hold with the hounds." To. commit a little speech to memory, and say he is a "statetf rights, reserved rights strict construction Repub-' lican," advocating the election of Van Buren with all his odious opinions, and pretending to prefer Calhoun, by liking him "personally," won't satisfy the people of the lower counties, who ad mire openness, frankness and independence as much as they despise evasion, shuffling and double dealing. If he is a M strict constructionist" as he says every where he if, of course he opposes all in ternal improvements by the government Strict construction means this, or Mr". Arrington does not know what it means. After the speaking was concluded, three hear ty cheers were given fof Stanly, and three for Clay. Arrington's friends gavi three cheers for him; and some one said 'three cheers for your candi date for President" There was a pause. Some mentioned Van fiuren, others Calhoun. Eve ry body la'Qghed at the dilemma, and the meet-' ing adjourned, laughing heartily at the 44 two choices." In Newbern and Greenville, Mr. Arrington spoke of his being a farmer; but he said nothing of that here. He has learned a thing of two,' as Mr, Stan fly told him, since he commenced this canvass. The truth is, as he himself says, he has studied Law and practiced, or tried to practice, in the County Courts. He is a man of large fortune, and from what we can learn, and shall speak of more fully here- ; after, is willing to' spend money freely o secure his election ; but neither British nor Nash gold i can accomplish that " We shall publish, hereafter,- with some com- i ments, Mr. Arlington letter to the wheel-horses" in which he intimated his intention of be ing a candidate any hate, and expressed his sus picions of his own friends, and refused to pledge himself to support the nominee of the convention.
