I--- - , - (From the Edenton Sentinel. " JAMES B. SHEPARD, EbOT . ThoDeraocValic Candidate of the -IUIeigb Clique,! addressed an assemblage of, eaa " this place on Tbursd-y last. He was - verr attentivelj by the perona present, of Xyhorn ' - there were fifteen Whigs and pemocrata. - He expressed hi. regret that his honorable opponent" was not present, that he might have a " fair opportunity of diseasing with liuu the cur renceuestion: As he did not inform hi fellow eitixens of whom he spoke, as bis " honorable ;'-"opponent' it must have been generally ucder sTood, : that the allusion was ,to Mr, Leak. A Question saperior in importance to all others, whether of Federal or State politics, has first, io he settled between Mr. Shepard and Mr. Leak : which of the two is the Candidate of the Demo - cratic party.y It is well known that the Demo cratic Con? ention that "convened and organized v in Raleigh in January last, did not nominate, nor .did they intend to nominate, either directly or f indirectly, M r. Shepard ; and it is equally well f .known that no Convention representing a res T pectable portion of that party, has ever yet 'designated hira as their standard bearer. Mr. ' Leak saysTand we have no reason to question :; Ms veracity, that M r. Shepard is not the repre ; FenUtive of the Democratic party'! in the ap- "proaching contest thai-be is merely the nominee -t ' vt an irresponsible clique" in and about Raleigh . that he, Mr. Leak, tears the genuine stamp of Ibe parjy. - How this family aispuie nas neen .i.rourht about. - we know not we leave these ;, domestic difficulties to be settled by themselves. Mr. Shepard commenced Jhls speech by ac- knowjedging bis obligations to his fellow-citizens, At a gentleman, to be candid in his statements ; ' and Jie pledged himself to redeem his obligation. For he welfknewif he mislead theui then, they rould not be induced hereafter to coufide in him. i ET So H seem Mr 8' has already -whether suc cess or defeat awaits him, deteruiijed to be a candidate strain for the office which hj is uow soliciting. This is certainly candor, if it bo not modesty.. t " Having thus prepared the minJs of those pre sent to receive, with perfect confidence,' all that he might say, he then staled that all persons of all parties cuueurred n tbenecessity of taxation that there were but twj mi des cf collecting taxes: direct and indirect. . A direct tax was a contri bution levied upon property indirect taxes were - levied upon -what wu consumed.. Both parties ' agreed that the latter mode of collecting taxes was the best : they differed io this : The De ' inncratic party was for collecting as little 'as ' " possiblethe Whig party the. largest possible iu'utit Hence the -Wh'g party advocated a division nf the proceeds of the sales f Ihe pnb " lie lands among the States ; whilst the Deino ' cratic party was for relying upon the sales of the ' lands' as a portion of the public revenue. In con nexion with this,, Mr. Shepard charged hi "op ponent" with inconsistency in his political acts up-Hi'lhlJ 'subject. The alleged inconsistency consisted in this : he charged him, when a mem ber of the Assembly, with voting for a division of the sales of . the public lands among the States according to Federal population; and whilst in Congress he vot ed a gratuity of 10 per cent to the States in which the public lands are, and a division of the residue only.'. As we do not doubt the candor of Mr. Shepard, we must ascribe many " omissions upon this subject to a defect nf memory. He did not tell us that Gen.' Jackson, just before the public debt was extinguished, for the pay. i: liient of which the public lands were' pledged, in one of his messages called the attention of Con . gress to the subject, and recommended to them to pass some Jaw providing for the distribution of the sales that might thereafter be made. lie did not tell cs. th.it no public man of any party had ever looked to them as a source of ordinary revenue He did not tell us that his own party had voted away thousands ujkjii thousands rf acres . for Colleges, Internal Improvements, and other public purpose? he did not tell us that a dis tinguished leader of his own pirty had actually advocated the policy of bestowing them as a bounty upon the Stales in which they are. All this Mr, Shepard's candor would have prompted him to say ; but for the imperfection of bis memory. From the public lands Air. S- proceeded to the - tariff: Upon this subject he exhausted the whole catalogue of hard names. To illustrate the op pressive character of the tariff of '42, he told a ; very affecting incident which occurred in Raleigh: A mechanic of that place applied to a dry goods ' deafer to sell him a yard of cKton goods; upon 1 inquiring t the price, the merchant told him he could have it at 12 12 ' cents per . yard. The astonished mechanic inquired what he meant. Why, says he, I purchased just s good an article twelve months ago at 10 cents. Ah! says the merchant that is true, but the price of the article has advanced in consequence of the tariff of 'A'Z. -. Well says the mechanic, if that is what you mean - . by protection, 1 want none of it I will have none i- of it ; but with the means which God has given ; me, I will protect myself. Now we are really surprised that a gentleman who is aspiring to the office of Governor, should be eoeasily duped by the mechanic, of whom Mr. S. spoke. Every : person knows that coarse cotton goods of all kinds - have been cheaper since the tariff of '42 than they were before. The reason why Mr. Shepard's friend was charged more for them after the tariff of 42 than before,, was, some change for the .worse had taken place in his circumstances, and the merchant of whom,1 he . wished to purchase, charged him an exorbitant price, because he knew,' be would hot bel able to pay him. If Mr. S. would take his 'stand behind a counter, he would have many surh eases with which he could amuse the people. Upon the subject of the tariff, Mr. S. carefully avoided telling us what change hi3 party advocated upon this subject however . Mr. ShepardTs memory was not equal to his pro fession of candor. He lorgot to tell the people,' that every President of the United States recoin mended discriminating duties ; and that no one of them was more committed to the suhject'than Mr. Jefferson he forgot to tell them that James Buchanan the present Secretary of State under a Democratic Fresident, voted for the tariff of '42, and his democratic friends of Pennsylvania have resolved in Convention assembled, that he had a - more important agency in carrying through Con gress the tariff of '42 than any other person he forgot to tell us that Silas Wright, whom the Baltimore democratic convention nominated as . Vice President upon the ticket jvith . James Ki Polk, also voted tor the same law he forgot to -.. . remind the people of the pecuniary distress which prevailed throughout the couutry of the bank ruptcy of the governroeut previously to the pas s ige of that law. And then present to them the . phasing contrast, wh:ch that law has accoci. . plished. in the individual prosperity and happiness, .end in the entire restoration of the credit of the Eeroment ' He forgot to tell them that his own - party ire divided upon this very question-of tariff that they dare not carrv out the disorwanmntr and destructive views, with which many of the .ton Rail Road weT profess noMo have had a clear concppUon of Mr. ShepardrvieVs. lie talked ot mortgages, the, validity of liens, and as we ch.uced io recollect tlial it was published to the world some year or two ago that he. was a very t'reat lawyer because he was employed in about - 30 suits in Wake CouotyT Court, we Buppoeed that by professional, entlmerionly, rould he be understood." Mr. Shepard, charged that the services of our present Goverm-r, thro"rbout his entire public life, had been devotrd to the im- pin j eoonavor ( misieaa me people. Upon the Fut.jct of Mr. Graham's railroad votes the sale 'which he recently made of Ihe IUleteh and fU: orovetnent of a fe w count iea extending through the ' . . . - ftri . i . I I middle of the otaie. vnemer mis enajgB uc Just or not Vve shall not enquire ; but we would very respectfully ask of Mr. Shepard,, to point to aty portion of the Stale that has been blest by his labours. Mr. Shepard's argument is, that Mr. Graham'must be defeated because he has benefitted a, considerable section of the. State; and he elected, because he( has, heretofore be stowed his valuable services upon no portion of iL ; We believe that a large majority of the people would greatly prefer that the candidates for the office of Governor should remain af ; home ; the labour of canvassing the State must be laborious to them and productive of very little good. But as Mr. Shepard has made his appearance before the people, no alternative is left Gov. Graham bis. station his duty to his. party and above all his duty to the Stato require that be should go out among bis fellow-citizens and explain to them the conservative principles of bis party. The people of the Albemarle District have never had him among them they would be gratified to have an opportunity of testifying to him their ad miration of him as a man and their confidence in hi in as the high executive officer of tho State. ' THE WHIG PARTY ' The Whigs should every where throughout the State arouse themselves to action. They have long maintained North Carolina a Whig State, and it is obvious enough that they can in the present Gubernatorial canvass give their Can didate, William A. Graham, a larger majority than he obtained in the canvass between himself and the-lamented Hoke, and in fact, a larger ma. jority than they have yet given any candidate for Governor. " The people generally are satisfied with the manner in which Gov. Graham has dis charged the duties of his office; his opponents polUicaUy, can not and do not urge any thing a gainst liis Administration, but many of them tes tify (as a very prominent Democrat in this coun'y did the other day to us,) to the excellence of the same. " Then, is it unreasonable to assert that we can give Mr. Graham, at the least, a majority of Six Thousand lspeciaUyl when we consider the circumstances by which our opponents are at present surrounded ! It will be easily done if the Whigs make any kind of an effort. , Rutherford Republican. SHIP, DEMOCRACY. From all accounts which'has reached us fqrihe last four or five years, it appears that this Vessel, has been for some time in Leaky condition, but more particularly so within the. last month. It seems during the late gale, j she sprung a Leak which threatens to prove' fatal to her, as well as the crew' on board.- The accounts furnished by Mr. Holdon, an officer, represent her as being in a most ; critical situation. Every exertion is making to bring this ill-fated ship into port safely ; but it is greatly to be feared from the Leaky con. dition she was in when last heard from, she will be a total loss : and if not lost, it is thought, at least, she will be wholly unfit for sea by August next.

Tho President of the United States is ajutrre-tf North Carolina. At least six of the Senators of the United Slates, forming one ninth pai of the Senate, are natives of North Carolina ; viz : Messrs. Mangum and Haywood, from this State, Mr. McDuffie, from South Carolina, Mr. Benton, from Missouri, M". Speight from Mississippi, and Mr. Allen, from Ohio. How many members of the House of Re presentatives are natives of this State we do not know, but think it likely that as many as twenty are, including the nine who represent the State. Mr. King, the Minister at the Court of France, is a native of North Carolina, as is the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Martin, j Mr. Rencber, the Minister at the Court of Lis bon, is a native of North Carolina. Mr. Saunders, recently appointed Minister to the Court of Madrid is a native of North Carolina. TViVmingoTi Chronicle. While a Mr. Estes was giving his testimony in a case trying at the Justices' Court in Van Burcn County, Ma, in a trifling suit, Mr Ander son called him a liar. The insult was resented. Anderson being the stronger man, got Estes down, and was dealing heavy blows, when at once he became motionless, or rather fell from him a corpse. On examination it was found he bad been stabbed in some five or six places with a small pen knife. Estes was committed, but held to bail. Since then he has disappeared ; some think, says the Expoeiter, to escape punishment ; others that'Anderson's friends . have made way with him.

EFFECTS OF THE,SUB-TREASURY, Vbat effect is the Sab-Treasury likely to have upon the currency 1 I; may have an effect in two ways ;', Io the first place, if the system is carried out ou the-strict hard money principle; if all dues are received in specie only and all dis bursements made in specie only, no matte what may Le the trouble of counting aol transporting such weighty commodities as gold and silver, then there will be a distinct Government currency to the extent of . the Government's receipts and expenditures. The aggregate of all that is paid to the Treasury from customs, public lands," for postage and patents, may be estimated at some thirty-five millions annually. This amount is again disbursed in the various expenditures of Government array, navy, civil list, -the charges of mail, transportation, and all the manifold items of public expense. Now it is true that this ag gregate,' ia comparison with the total business operations of the country, is not large. But it is to bo remembered that this particular currency of thirty-five millions consists of a substance which forms the essence of the general currency; and its abstraction from the common circulation is like drawing a portion of the vital principle from the human body, which cannot be dono without impairing its health. But we need not dwell upon this; for, the Sub Treasury is to effect the currency in another way. The disbursements of the Government will not be made in specie. We have not seen a copy of the bill which has passed the House, but presume it is like the Van Buren bill in respect to the authority of drafts from one de pository of the public money on another. That authority must be-given at all even's. Those wha would retrograde- farthest towards the cur rency system of non-commercial ages and na tions, suppressing all the developmeuts lo which civilized intercourse throughout the world has since given birth, cannot so far reduce the oak into the acorn as to cut off that first offahoot of financial improvement which in the form of bills of exchange, appeared in the fifteenth century. These drafts must, for convenience, be made in sums of small size as well as large. They will go into circulation as a Government currency. Their quality as United States Bank notes of equal value in all parts of tho Union and con vertible into specie any where, must keep them in circulation. The absence of a National Bank will give the Government a monopoly in this sort of currency. For a time, therefore, payments into the Treasury will be made in specie while no specie will be paid out. Tho Government be comes a Bank on a large scale, in which the de posits of gold snd silver add continually to its capital and become part of it. It is clear that under these circumstances the State banks must be driven speedily to a suspen sion. The nationality of the Government issues will keep them at a premium at first and for a considerable time. r Hence specie must flow into the Treasury, those having payments to make finding it belter to pay in specie than in Govern ment paper above par. The local banks must yield tfp their specie for this purpose ; their notes will be returned upon them to be exchanged for specie, while the Government issues will come gradually, to supply the paper currency cf the country. Such is evidently the tendency of the Sub treasury system. But one of the concluding sections of the bill, as we find ni the brief eynopis of its provisions now before us, makes it the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue and publish regulations to enforce the speedy pre sentation of all government draft?, and prescribe the time in which all drafts shall be presented for payment; and to guard as far as may be, against those drafts being used or thrown into circulation as a paper currency, or medium of exchange. To guard as far as may be," is a very vague duty of discretion. The President will have it in his power to control the whole system nf finance and currency throughout tho Union. If the ex penditures should exceed the revenue, nothing more would be necessary than to pay in drafts adapted to circulation with no definite period of redemption. The issue of Treasury notes, the favorite device of the Van Burcn Administra tion, would not be required ; the tariff might be reduced with impunity. - It is clear from the terms of the Act, that there is no safeguard against the creation and increase of a currency formed of Government drafts, which would be the same in substance and nearly the same in form as United States Bank notes no safe-guard whatever, but the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, which, in its true phraseology, means the pleasure of the President. Baltimore American. People interested " in business in the Eistern States appear to be taken wholly by surprise by the passage through the House of Representa tives of the Subtreasury bill, so amended as to go into effect, if not immediately, very soon after its passage. There is, in fact, no saying what may be the consequence of ihe measure, if it become a law. The Journal of Commerce, representing the mercantile interest, calls it a bill of folly and madness," and pronounces both its leading features, the distinction between the money for the Government and money for the people, and the specie clause, to be utterly revolting to the intelligence of the age, and barbarous in their entire character."

The laws of New York now hold them to their bar gain as ttisn ami wife ; and the lady, has therefore brought the case before the Legislature. A correr pondent of the New Yoik Tribune gives the follow ing particulars of the marriage j " '. The parties, Mr. Hall arid Miss Lilli, had only been acquainted about fiv months- .The lauer was a jtoung lady of fine personal appearance and at tainments, and being quite a proficient in music, re lied mostly upon that divine art for a livelihood. 7 She was a member of the South Baptist Church, and ofG ciated as organist therein. Tho former, so far as 1 know, a young man of irreproachable character, was a sort of superintendent or cleik of the Temperance House of a Deacon in the same Church.' I The sleigh ride was got up by Hall and 'another young man, who took with tbem three, young ladies. , On the way out; as might be expected from such a sedate compa ny, the conversation turned on the interesting subject ol matrimony. H. asked L. it she would have him, snd she consented in as terse and direct a manner as did Rebecca of old wheu the servant ol Isaac pop ped the question.

Arrived at ihe House' of their destination, which was that of a Justice of the Peace, he was called upon to official e He was rather green in his line of business, and as this was the first knot he had ever tied, be went about it in rather a primitive way. Hall confesses that he had now iwade up bis mind to use his own words if she would marry him to stick to it." The Jus tice arranged ibe parties with all due solemnity, but as there was most immoderate laughter, be put on a very solemn face, read them a lecture on sobriety, and sat dowu. He was asked to try again, and this time he succeeded in stopping the laughter and the ceremony proceeded. '. Have you,', said the Justice addressing Hall, any objections to matrimony ?" No sir," was the reply. Have you," was the further qnestion to Mis L. any objections to getting married f" ' and she, as any other yoonsr lady natu rally would, replied Not at all, sir 1"- She ssys she intended, when the Justice put the further ques tion. VVill you have this man for'your husband ?" to give a most unequivocal and unmistakable negative. But he gave her no opportunity, but immediately upon the above questions being put and answered, he pronounced them inau and wife. Here was a pretty kettle of fish, but the lady still regarded the whole as a joke, not sappoirig that such an o verba nded knot would slick By dint of perse verance find considerable help, the Justice made out the certificate, and Tate at night the parties set out for home to meditate over the old proverb Those who marry in haste can repent at leisure." It is said to be quite doubtful whether the Legis lature will consent to " relieve" the parlies tbqs situ ted the Senate having heretofore " set its face a gainst any measure establishing precedents for sus pending the laws in individual cases " The couple, it seems to ns, wonld have pursued a wiser course by submitting cheerfully to the new relaiiou thus estab lished between them.

DEARTH OF NEWS.
