RALEIGH, N. C.
Friday, August. 28, 1846.
THE NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
. APPOINTMENT TO OITICE.
We observe a Communication ia the It " Star,"
referring to a report, that Mr. Manocm will decline
-a re-election to the Senate, and proposing, in that
event, that Mr. Bidoee and Mr. Osio!, should be
sent as the representative of North Carolina in that
tody. We hare alao heard the namea of Governor
JVf orkreid and Mr. Staxlv mentioned in connexion
vith the same rnmor... ' .
' It ii not our purpose, in noticing this subject, to
express any preference amongst theae gentlemen.
We shall not declare any dissent from the commen
dation which the Correspondent of the 'Star bestows
on Messrs. Badge and Osokk. -We know Got.
MoiKHEAD,aud bare often given, in no measured
term', expreasion to oar warm affection, and high re
aped for him and in every political contest, he is,
and ever bas been, what Gen. Tatlos is to the ene
mies of the Country, the ' " Rough and Ready" oT
Korth Carolina- Of Edward Staxlt we need not
apeak. The Old North State has not a truer or no
bler Son, or the Whig party a more able and devoted
supporter; and we doubt not he would maintain,
with brighter lustre in the Senate, the reputation he
has already won with the Whigs of the whole Union.
We do aol blame our Western friends, for desiring to
see Mr. Mosehead or Mr. OssoaNe in the Senate e
er our Eastern brethren for wishing to place such a
man a Edward Stanly there.
With the appointment of any or either of the
gentlemen named, we ahall be well satisfied, and
doubt not the honor of the State will, in such hands,
be safe. But what we want to say is that in our
opinion, it is premature and injudicious, thns to bring
the names of, gentlemen before the public What
-good purpose can it secure ? - Are these geatlemen so
little known, that it is feared they will be forgotten
'by the Whig Members of the General Assembly, un
less theii names are announced ; or be overlooked,
-unless their merits are proclaimed t We think it nn-
necessary certainly, and probably wrong, now to ag
itate; th'wj matter, it is sctreely delicate towards the
gentlemen named, or towardsthe Whig Members of
the General Assembly.
If Mr. MJiUM fcbould Hot "be -in ommation, be
cause bis name may probably be required by the
Whigs of the'Couutry for a higher station, or for any
other reason, let the Whig Members, from every part
of the State meet, and unbiassed by any previous ac
tion of the Prew, consider who, under ail the circum
stances, with just reference to the claims -of the dif
ferent sections ofthe State, and of the whole State,
should fill the twojracant seats in the Senate. Or,
should nothing occur, to prevent Mr. Mangck from
again serving the State m that body, let the Whiz
Members,
a, alike uninfluenced, settle whosball be s-J
with liim in the "high trust f
sociated
And while speaking on this subject, e kope we
shall be pardoned, if we warn the Whig Members
respectfully, against committing themselves by
pledges, to support any candidate for any Office, to
be filled by the ensuing Legislature. Let every mem
bar come here untrammelled by promisee which Im
pair his free agency consult with his Whig brethren
be ready to surrender all personal Jredilettions
to the common judgment of his friends, and thns let
the Whig party move forward in harmoniotis efforts
to do the best for the Country, preserving their or
ganization entire, and showing the unity and the
force of- the ancient Phalanx, which made Grecian
valor indomitable. In these sentiments, We feel sure
ell eur readers will concur for an aspirant to any
Office, who is willing lb succeed by dividing the
Whig party, whatever else5 he may be m wot a
racB Wfiio.
MR. HAYWOOD'S ADDRESS.
We copy to-day, from various papers, the opinions
of their respective Editor, upon th Address of Ex
Senator Haywood, without pretending, of course, to
endorse any or either of the sentiments advanced, for,
it will -be observed, they are conflicting and different;
but merely to give our readers some idea of the tone
Of the public Press on the subject. But we mtost be
permitted to say, without taking part in the quarrel
between Mr. II. and hjs Loco Foco friends, that the
eentimenta of the u Richmond Whig," which are to
be found in another column, are more to our taste,
and speak more truly and boldly onr own views upon
the matter, than any of the numerous comments in
which the corps Editorial have indulged, that have
fallen under onr observation. It is not our opinion,
that men, because they are party men. are blindly
to follow the behests of party, without having the
privilege of discriminating and choosiug between
Trnfb, Justice and Love of - Country, on the one
hand, and Party Fanaticism, run-mad Political Ja
cobinism, and reckless, infuriate party ambition, on
the other.
TCT We learn that Col. Meares, one of the Aides
to Gen. Yell, of Arkansas, now in service in Mexi
co, and whose name is going tbe rounds of the papers
improperly spelt, Mayers, is a son of the lamented
W illiam B Meares, of Wilmington,' in this State.
PRACTICE VS. THEORY.
The friends of Mr. Walker's British Tariff'
maintained that it would enhance the price of our
Agricultural products, and diminish the price of for
eign manufactures. The news by the Caledonia,
shows' that provisions and breadstuff's are falling
while British manufactures are rising, in consequence
f the passage of the bill. ,

MR. HAYWOOD AND THE STANDARD."
The last Standard,"- in speaiung ; of MK .Hat
wcWavAddireW saysM.that he (Mf H.) 'refused,
for no good reasons, o remain in. the Senate and
contribute by bis vote to reduce tne' taruT-taxee'of
the people of North Carolina ; that . he. flinched at a
moment when, if ever, he might have proved himself
a " successful" supporter of the Administration ; and
that his course upon this Vital question, so fair from
entitling him to the confidence, respect'and appro
nation of the Democratic party,' is justly, calculated
to expose him to a loss of confidence and approbation,
and fo the profound and lotting indignation of all
genuine Republicans." '
" No good reasons." ts it considered by genuine
Republicans, (hat conscientious motives are to hate
nothing to do with a Politician's public acts, and that
a conscientious, settled conviction of the onjustness
and deleteriousness of a measure, constitute "no good
reasons" why he should not support it? Is be, im-
'peratitely required, inadly to pursue the work of
destruction marked out for. him by his masters,, the
Powers that be, at the head of Government, without
the privilege of remonstrance or dissent, in 'order to
entitle him to. "the confidence and respect" of all
genine Republicans"? No, no. In the language of
Mr. Haywood, no man, with a due sense of honor
and accountability, could put himself in a position)
where obedience to the mandates of others was both
imperative and unavoidable and nobody would be
fit to serve the Republic who could."
But,' it seems, Mr. Hatwood thinks he had ' good
reasons" for acting as be haa, and " with the proud
consciousness of having dared to do his duty," he
invokes no sympathy," but indignantly defies the
" malice of all bad men, who measure the motives of
the virtuous by a standard of morals which vice has
erected in their own bosoms," and relies "upon the dis
cernment and judgment of an intelligent public" to
do him justice, and lays claim " to the confidence,
respect, and approbation of all good men."
The Standard" also adds : " The springs which
moved him to the performance of the act which all
his friends regret, and which he must regret to the
last day of his life, are buried in his oxen bosom, or
perhaps disclosed in his Address." What Is meant
in this charge by inuevdo, we are sure we cannot
comprehend. Does the Editor mean that the whole
secret is not told ? . That there is something yet be
hind the scenes T Twould seem so, from' this grate
insinuation.

" PARTY DRILL."
Perhaps the most startling developement mads in
Ex-Senator Haywood's Address, is the omnipotence,
so to speak, of party drill at Washington ! He says !
" knew well that the Senate vers about pasting
the bill, contrary to the judgment of a majority,
under the duress of a party drill !" And another
Senator, if we mistake not, said, in open debate, that
two-tdirds of the Senate were opposed to the bill !"
and yet it passed that body by a majority of one !
Is not this an alarming confession, coming, too,
from the highest Legislative functionary of our Gov
ernmentcomposed of men who should be " above
suspicion and above reproach" that under " a du
ress of party drill,' they could so far forget their du
ty to their Country and their God, as to suffer them
selves to be coerced into the support of a measure,
" contrary" to their enlightened judgments ! Truly,
truly, we have fallen upon evil times. Has it come
te this, that a high-minded, honorable man one who
ha been derated to the proud and lofty distinction
of jSrrf&'Zer in this great Nation, ean arise in his place,
in the Senate Chamber, and denounce a measure as
unwise, impolitic and destructive, and yet, " under
duress of a party drill," he can be made to sacrifice
all his higher, and we may say not unjustly, his ho
lier obligations, and vote in favor of that identical
measure'! ,The reflection is indeed humiliating, and
goes far to controvert that boasted ' freedom of ac
tion," in our Government, ever which we hear so
many praises eung.
GEORGIA.
We seeby our exchanges from this State, that pre
parations are making by the Whigs, for an active and
vigorous campaign, for the election of members to
Congress. We ore glad to see this, for, generally,
this gallant State is found " right side up," nobly
fighting, side by side, with honest old North Carolina,
for right and justice. We hope, at her next election,
to see her redeem herself from the unfortunate posi
tion Into which she suffered herself to be betrayed, in
the support of Pout and Dallas, in 18 14. The Old
North State has just set her a glorious example one
worthy of imitation. Let us see, then, that the State
which haa such noble Whig champions as Berrien,
Toombs, Stephens, Kixo, dec., cannot again be dop
ed into the support of men who will sustain the mis
erable, buugling, ruinous measures of the present Ad
ministration. Wo shall look for Whig thunder from
Georgia, on the first Monday hi October. Shall we
be disappointed ?
MARYLAND.
The Whigs of Maryland seem to be alive to the
importance of their approaching election. Situated
as they are, contiguous to the Federal Seat of Gov
ernment, where they can see the corruption and mis
doings of Polk's Administration witness its lestruc
tive and ruinous tendencies upon the industry and
prosperity of the Nation end having her escutcheon
free from stain in the trying times of 1844 it can
hardly be expected, that at this late day of misrule,
she will give in her adhesion to its" mad and disorgan
izing schemes. The Old North State haa set the ball
in motion, and we doubt not the descendants of the
heroes of Bladansburg and Stony Point, will give It
fresh impetus in October next. '
O We are happy to learn from the " National
Intelligencer," that Mr. Mangum, of the Senate, who
bas been detained in Washington City by indisposi
tion, has so recovered, that he was expected to leave
in a day or two for his residence in. North Carolina.
O The Sale of the Portsmouth and Roanoke
Rail Road," advertised in this paper, is to take plaee
on Friday next, the 4th of September.

U creating considerable speculation, especially as re
gards, tbe courtSanta Anna will pursue" in regard to
the war, should he be successful in putting himself at
the head ofthe Republic. -The New York corres
pondent of the.." Philadelphia Inquirer," says :
The community was surprised this morning by an
ennourfcemeot in the public prints, that theCasUe of
San Juan deUrtoa, and the citizens of Vera Cm,
had declared in favor of the exile Santa 'Anna, who
had left Havana and gone td Vera Crnz, and thence,
no doubt, to the Capitol. This is considered highly
important intelligence, and various opinions are given
as to the result it will hare on the. war. The gene
ral impression is, that as Santa Anna has on all oc
casions avowed his opinion of the rightfulness of the
government straining every nerve to carry it on suc
cessfully, that be is committed, and on assuming the
reins of power will exert himself to prolong it, and
decline coming to peace on terms that would be sat
isfactory to the United States.
I ALABAMA. 7
We see tnat the Whigs have gone earnestly to
work, in Mr.. Yancey's District, to try and secure a
Whig Representative in his stead. - They have nom
inated S. S. Beuan, Esq. a gentleman who, it is said,
if elected, wtfl bean honor to the State. We sin
cerely nope tney may succeed fsr the character of
Alabama has most grievously suffered, by being rep
resented by such men as Yancey, McConnell, Slc.

CAUTION TO THE CARELESS.
A serious abeident occurred near Gorgetown, on
Monday last, whereby two young men, John Crown
aud Walter Hillary, were severely injured. They
were sitting in the bar-room of a tavern, side by side,
when a third man, Joseph Goodyear entered the
room, and, carelessly snatching bp a gun, jocularly
exclaimed, " he would shoot them," not supposing
the piece to be charged. The gun was loaded, how
ever, and the two received ita contents in the face
and upper part of the body, mangling them very se
verely. Goodyear made no attempt to escape, but
expressed the poignant remorse he felt at his care
lessness. MR. BENTON THE OREGON TREATY.
The " Union" publishes Mr. Benton's Speech on
the Oregon Treaty, delivered in secret Session, gen
erally approving it. Mr. Benton thinks the right of
navigation of Columbia river, limited. So far, so
good. But Mr. Benton published his Speech first in
the "National Intelligencer." Upon which the "U
nion" takes care to observe, that it " copies the speech
of its own accord, without request from any one"
and that, ef course, the " Senator from Missouri has
a right to select his own medium." Of course he
has. And what is more, it appears that lie exercises
that right
TALL LADIES.
A New York paper says that tall ladies invariably
prefer short men. An exchange paper thinks this an
error, and observes that no woman objects to Hymen.
The tmblnshino; effrontery of a portion of the
Democratic Press in making- predictions of suc
cess in elections where all the chances are a
gainst them, is only equalled by the gullibility
displayed by Democratic editors elsewhere, n
swallowing as truth these groundless assertions
We have a case in point 1 be Democratic pa
pers, of North Carolina, just precedincr the elec-
tion in that State, were teeming with most flat
tering predictions of the success of their candid
ate for Governor. Now these predictions coulu
not have been intended for the home market,
inasmuch as every one at all conversant with
the state of public sentiment there, knew that
Graham would be elected ; they were, there
fore, designed to operate at a distance and
some of the Democratic papers in other States
one or two in our own among- the number,
were so Tar misled by them as to predict a
Democratic triumph in North Carolina. The
Raleigh Standard, as it efer has done, took
the lead in this w&rk of deception. The Regis
ter, in Dublishim? the returns, which show a per
fect Waterloo defeat to the Locofocracy, also pub
lishes the predictions ofthe Standard." Uive
it to him.
Wonder if the Standard won't attribute their
defeat to the apathy of the Democracy in their
strong.holds particularly in " Chunn' Cove V
Alliens (tio.; nt.
The Enquirer, after quoting the statement, co-
pied by us from a Northern paper, in relation to
the alleged determination of a son of uen. rtom
ulus M. Saunders, to commence the publication
of an Abolition paper in North Carolina, says :
A few days since, we saw Mr. James baunoers,
the person referred to. We interrogated him as
to the truth of the above assertion, and he said he
had been grossly misrepresented. He added,
however, that Garrrison had acted the part ef a
warm friend at the moment when he (S.) was
the subject of the persecutions ofthe N. Hamp
shire Insane Asylum whence he had twice made
his escape on account of the cruel and oppressive
treatment which he received. From a sense of
gratitude, he had in public spoken highly of Gar
rison as a math but had given no countenance to
his Abolition views." The Enquirer farther
learned from Mr. Saunders, that he was on his
way to North Carolina, for the purpose of editing
a Whig papers-Richmond Whig.
Tooth-Ache. We'copy the following simple
recipe for the cure and prevention of this most
excruciating complaint from a city paper. a Pat

a quart bottle of water ; with this, rinse the mouth
two or three timet a day, and clean the teeth.

EDITOR'S. CORRESPONDENCE.

..Tbe Basoce " Chatham," which, you will remem
ber, was chartered some four months ego at this port,
fof the purpose of carrying out provisions, etc, to the
captives rescued, from the Slave ship "Pons," on the
coast of Africa, arrived, on Menday last, from Mon
rovia j where these unfortuate beings are reported to
have j settled.' A letter' frem- J. J. Roberts, ' Esq.,
Agent there of the New York' State Colonitatlon
Society; says' the arrival ef the Chatham," with
supplies was opportune indeed. ' ..The great scarcity
of provisions In the Colony had rendered the condi
tion of many of them very distressing ; and serious
fears, had been entertained that, not only the captives,
but the colonists also, would soon begin to experience
great want 'It really does seem that the Condition
of the "Pons" Slaves, now, is nearly as wretched as it
would have been, possibly, had that vessel succeeded
in the attempt to bring them to America. On their
arrival at Monrovia (says Mr. It-,) the citizens generally-agreed
to receive a large number of them into
their families, and promised to provide for them to the
extent of their abilities. . Many of Hie captiveshow
ever, fell into the hands of those whose limited means,
(when provisions became scarce,) would not allow
them to retain the poor wretches longer, without re
ducing their own families to want The consequence
was that in a few months hundreds of them, includ
ing a number that had been apprenticed to irresponsi
ble persons, were thrown as paupers upon the com
munity,' most of them emaciated, sick, and in a
wretched state of helplessness. When the " Chat
ham" left, scores of them, we are told, were hanging
upon the skirts of the settlemeut, living mainly upon
what they could plunder from the colonists ; and it is
said that the present dearth of provisions at Monrovia,
is owing, in a great degree, to their numerous depre
dations upon the young crops of the farmers.
. So, as you will perceive by the New Orleans pa
pers, " General!" George Washington Dixon, instead
of revelling in the "Halls of Montezuma," is medita
ting upon the mutability of human affairs in a cell iu
the Calaboose of the Qngrateful Crescent City, whose
unmerciful officers, when they laid their impious ?iands
upon the redoubtable Captain of the Yucatan Expe
dition, it seems, had no reverence either for his Epau
let ts, or his asseverations of being in the service of
Uncle Sam. Served him right ! A more Consum
mate loafer, or a more degraded, yet pitiful specimen
of humanity. New York, when it luckily got rid of
him, could not well boast. He, by this time, proba
bly, is properly appreciated by those "ladies," here,
who prior to bis departure for Yucatan, presented him
with a costly embroidered flag, which, it is now said
he has sold, instead of, as he declared at a meeting
in the Park, placing it in the Grand Square of Mexi
co ! We have, of just such vagabond., yet " a few
more left," and it would be rendering the City an
eternal benefit, if they ceuld be induced to travel as
far as Dixon, to the New Orleans Calaboose. None
of them will go to Mexico, none of them to Texas
they don't like hardships ; they abhor righting in the
field, though they are ever at home on election days,
doing good service, in the ranks of Locofocoism. You
have heard of the Empire Club?
W ester lo Woodwokth, a son of Judge Wood
worth, of Hyde Park, in this State, committed sui
cide, on Wednesday morning last, in the Insane
Asylum at lorkville, while under tbe influence of
mental derangement, brought about, it is naid, by dis
sipation, idleness and want, although ouly five years
ago, when he became of age, he was possessed of
some $60,000, left him by a deceased relative. Thus
we see wealth the ruin of a young man Who, had he
been dependent upon his own honest industry, or
thrown upon his own exertions, for a livelihood; might,
in all probability have been a worthy and useful mem
ber of society. Hut the unlimited and imprudent use
of gold, iu a short period of time, brought him to irre
trievable ruin, disgrace and the dark abyss of a sui
cide's tomb.
Tub California Expedition has not yet taken its
departure, but lingers still in a state of "masterly in
activity" at Governor's Island. The. three Ships en
gaged for the transportation of the troops are, at last,
ascertained to be the " Susan Drew," "Thomas Per
kins," and " Loo Choo," which are all staunch and
Sea worthy vessels, lately engaged in the Tea trade.
For these vessels the sum of $62,000 is to be paid,
and the total cost of the whole affair has been esti
mated -at the enormous sum of a million of dollars !
Meanwhile there are some very serious charges mak
ing against Sleveuson, the Colonel of the Regiment,
by one Thomas Jefferson Sutherland, a man well
known in these parts, anf withal somewhat notorious
for the conspicuous part he took in the Canadian re
bellion, in 1836.
The following is a copy of some of the most prom
inent of thee, which I transcribe for the Register, as a
matter of as much interest to its readers as to us, the
Expedition bearing the character of a national con
cern, and an undertaking in which, it may turn out, the
honor of the country is in no small degree involved.
Sutherland offers to prove his allegations beforua
Court of Enquiry, if need be.' First, then, he de
clares that Stevenson has purposed a fraud upon the
members of his regiment, by procuring a large quan
tity of clothing, not American in its fashion, nor suited
to the climate of California, which lie designs to oom
pel his men to purchase from him at prices far above
the real value, his son-in-law being the pretended con
tractor. That he reported company rolls to the Governor of
this State as complete, according to the requisition of
the War Department, when in fact the companies did
not contain the men professed to have been enrolled,
and thus procured commissions for favorites, to the ex
clusion of competent men and good officers, who had
reported perfect rolls of companies, Whose ranks were
filled with respectable men.
That he has used his influence to exclude from the
corps of officers ol bis regiment all men of capacity
and experience, and those who would be most likely
to be directed by a nice regard for the interest and ho
nor of their country, and to constitute it a body of
weak, or very young and inexperienced men, who
must needs be his suppliant nnderlings.
That he has publicly declared that, if hit Has
sent out by the Government, in convoy, he would
run away from the naval commander ; and that af
ter he had landed in California, he would no Ion'
ger obey the President ofthe United States, nor
any other authority ef the Government.
That be has practised duplicity on the President,
tbe Governor, and other persons in office in this State,
unbecoming an officer and a soldier.
These ate gravo charge?, which concern not me
alone, but the whole country, and they are now de
clared with the fullest sense that I endorse tbeir truth
with the commission which I myself hold, and a fine
and imprisonment on an indictment for libel, ii tne
charges should prove to be such and with this I am
content.

Dear Sir,-ti is with the greatest possible decree
of heartfelt gratitude, and pleasing emotions of the

Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort, Appreciating as I dd

my own feelings withhold my influence from urging
suffering humanity to make at least atrial of Doctor
Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort- It is impossible for
me to describe to yod what I have suffered for the
past fifteen years. When about eighteen years of age
I was seized with the paralysis of the left leg,' which
confined roe to my bed for a number bf months, but
by the untiring perseverance of my physicians, I. was
partially restored.- . :-." -;
My liver and digestive apparatus, and nervoes sys
tern in toto, suffered from the . attack most severely,
and I have ever been subject to the most violent at
tacks of inflamation of the liver, suffering in tbe most
excruciating manner in taking cold was' never free
Irora pain in my right side, accompanied by air that
host of nervosa affections which render life a burden
to all who are objects of its prey: In this way I snf.
lered until tne autumn of 1842, when I was seized
with the bilious remitting fever.- My life was des
paired of for some weeks, but by the unyielding per
severance of my physicians I was again partiaiiy re
stored to health. But my lungst during my illness,
did not escape with impunity. 1 was threatened
with a thickening of the mucous membrane of the
bronchial tubes, my cough was extremely severe, a
great tightness across the chest, shortness of breath,
and violent palpitation and soreness in the intercostal
muscles, and constipation, sometimes, however, diar
rhdea. " The matter expectorated assumed the aspect
of genuine pus was streaked with blood with no
thing but impending death I of course expected very
soon to. stand at the Bar of God. In this condition I
was, when advised by a friend to try Dr. Tavlor's
Balsam of Liverwort (from 378 Bowery, New York.)
I did so and before one bottle was gone I was entire
ty restored ; but being too ambitious, I exposed my
self, and was again taken alarmingly, ill. -
I lost my recollection so far that I could not re
member any transactions from day today and scarce
ly the names of my children All the' symptoms of
consumption returned with almost redoubled vigor j
I then went to Saratoga Springs where I spent the
summer but without the least advantage when I re
turned I was so troubled with palpitation, that it ma
ny times threatened immediate suffocation, I again
had recourse to Dr. Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort,
(from 375 Bowery.) and by its continued use, I am
now almost entirely restored to health. I have occa
sionally made use of it in my practice7, and that with
marked advantage. 1 declare myself to be an enemy
to all quacks and cure-all medicines ; but so fully
convinced am I of the virtues of your medicine, it is
my candid belief that if the Faculty would make use
of it in connection with the remedies already in their
hands, less by far would be the victims of that dread
ful disease denominated Consumption. If, sir, what
I have written wilt be of any advantage to you, or to
humanity, you are a! perfect liberty to use it.
Yours, with much esteem,
Signed) A.B. HOWLAXD, M. D.

Dealing with . Servants,
fT is with sorrow I have to say, that some person
or persons, in or near Raleigh, are doing serious
injury to soul and body of my most valuable , Servant,
by habitually selling him intoxicating drinks. It Is,
therefore, with the hope of putting a stop to such an
insufferable evil, that I now give public notice of my
fixed determination to enforce the laws of the State
against the first violation I can , prove, and hereby
offer a Reward of Five Dollars, to any one who will
furnish me with such proof. As the selling of liqaors
to Slaves is done secretly, I deem it perfectly honora
ble to promise secrecy also to my informant, of what
ever color he or she may be, who will give me, the
name of some while person, by whom I can certain
ly prove the selling ef liquors to either of my Ser
vants, or to any other colored person, getting it pro
bably for them WILL: PECK.
