CP" Being unable to give our pcr- sonal attention to the matter, tee have engaged the ser vices ef Mr II. H.Fotter to collect ovr City and Coun ty Bills 'nhose receipt rciU be as valid as our on-n. THE WHIG SPIRIT. It mast be highly gratifying to the Whigs of North Carolina, to hear of the spirit and unanimity that eaists in the party throughout the entire State. Mr. Manlt, our Candidate, is now on ft tour through some of the Eastern Counties, and we doubt not is winning golden opinions wherever he goes. A gen tleman who las just returned from a visit to some of our Western Counties, informs us, that the ut most harmony and activity prevails in our rauks there. He states that he had the pleasure of con versing freely with gentlemen of information from Orange, Guilford, Stokes, Davidson, Rowan, Surry, and Davie, who stated that the greatest harmony and interest was being evinced by the Whigs in their respective Counties. To sustain and to carry on to victory the proud Whig standard was the de termination of all, in the ensuing campaign. They are determined, so far as they are concern ed, that a majority of Whigs shall compose the next Legislature. They have witnessed the great efforts of the Loco Focos in preparing for the contest, and have been aroused for an accomplishment of that wWi the are ahle to nerform. vix: the. return of j i Whig Representatives from every County in which they possess the numerical strength ; and when the Whigs are fully, aroused, as they seem to be nbw, both in the Eastern and Western portions of this State, there is no danger of an accidental majority of Loco Focos, as has once or twice been the case, in the Legislature of North Carolina. With regard to the Whig candidate for Govern or, the mo?t enthusiastic anxiety seemed to prevail in relation to his visit to that section of the State. They are very desirous to see and hear him, and it is said, that perhaps a larger Whig vote will be giv en for Charles Ma!H.t, in the West, than was ev er given for any Gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina. His selection is esteemed a most happy one, and they express a determination to show, by the large and overwhelming majority that they in tend to give him, that the weak and futile efforts of the "Standard," to create sectional jealousies against him, can have no effect upon men who know their 'duty to their country," and have the intelligence and patriotism to" perform it We shall rejoice when Mr. Majit enters upon his Western trip, satis fied as we are, that he is the very man to please the honest, sturdy people, of invincible Western Car olina. It was rumored in Greensborough, when our in formant left there, that Mr. Reid had declined the nomination of the "Democratic" Convention; and we learn that a letter from him, to that effect, has been received in this City. If so, (and we believe it is unquestionably true,) the Loco Focos are real ly unfortunate. Who will they trump up now ? VIRGINIA ELECTION. The annual Election for Members of the Legisla ture of the State of Virginia took place on Thurs day last The Richmond papers say, that a more quiet canvass has been rarely known : and, judging from the apparent absence of all excitement in the public mind, we suspect that the Vote will be much smaller than usual. THE FOREIGN NEWS. The news from abroad points evidently to a re newal of bloody wars in Europe. The rebellion in Poland, the advance of the Russian army to put it down, the march of a French army for its relief, point to a collision which will probably involve all the countries of the world. Prussia, it H believed, will side with France; and, indeed, if Nicholas brings his colossal power to the work, all Europe combined will find him no insignificant foe. An Emperor who can lead nearly a million of armed men into the field, is not to be despised. CT In the Wilmington District, Daniel B.

".Some time ago, Jhere.was considerable effort made by the "Democratic" prints, as well arty gome Loco Food scribblers from Mexico, to array ; the Volun teers of our Army against the Regulars. Invidious comparisons were made, and the redoubtable Gen. GiDxoir J. Pillow, or his friend u Vkkttab," in that bolster-lug effusion, intimated that the "Martinet" of the regular army, ought hereafter to hide their diminished heads for Gideon, and Vkhtas, and Gen. Pillow, and a few other Volunteers, had con quered all creation, and nearly or qtiite made the Sun to stand still and look on. Without attempt ing to decide who have fought best, when all have fought well, we may presume to say that if our brave Volunteers have carried the palm, it might be, not because they have had the advantage of superior and better taught Officers not because they have been disciplined by superior drill but because they went to the battle field actuated by more patriotic impul ses; because they left their homes and their fire sides, to fight the battles of ttfeir own country, bear ing their oirn flag, and- supporting their rvn Govern ment. For who can fight like native Americans, pro secuting their rights, real or fancied, under the broad American Banner? Who can march up to danger and death more fearlessly than proud and brave American freemen, with their own glorious stars and stripes streaming over them 1 We cannot and will not detract from 'the honors so gloriously won by our Volunteers. They have fought well cov ered themselves all over with glory. And if the great Gideoh was not satisfied to becovered all over, but sought to steal away glory from the Regulars, that it might be a little more thick on himself and his command and if, as the pet familiars of the Presi dent, and the Loco Focos generally, a few months ago asserted, the Volunteers did throw the Regulars into the shade, in those glorious fights before Mexi co, we ask for the cause. Why was it that undisci plined troops, just called into service, should bear the honors from the Regular army ? We can find but one answer, and that has been intimated above. The Volunteers are nearly all native American cit iiens while the rank and file of the Regulars are mostly of foreign birth. They are discontented with the tyranny of their own native lands, and come to our shores redolent with liberty and equality, ready to labor, and fight, and die for freedom. So say the Loco Focos. They come to America, Feeemen, dou ble distilled, highly concentrated, in full panoply, bursting from the brain of Tyranny and stand on our own soil free, emancipated, disenthralled by the irresistible geniu9 Sec So say the Loco Focos particularly just before an election. Well, impelled by their love of freedom and fighting, they join our army, swell its ranks and are led to the wars by as lrave and skilful Officers as the world ever saw. We should suppose that under these circumstances, these fresh born freemen, fighting in freedom's great cause, would, be most accomplished and desperate warriors. How does it happen that the Volunteers have slutmed them so ? As the Loco Focos said a few months ago why. forsooth, there are more Vo lunteers than Regulars, and an election coming on, must be counted. Well, but the rank and file of the Army proper, are mostly foreigners, and as there are many thousands of such in our Cities, they must be counted too. Now, we venture to foretell, that from this time until after our Fall elections, the Re gular army and Foreigners generally, will be pro nounced by Loco Foco authority to be the best and bravest citizens we have. But after that, the old story will be repeat, that they cannot hold a can dle to our brave Volunteers. 0 ELEVATE THE MASSES. Mankind have as much to fear from Demagogues, as they have from Tyrants. Virtue and intelligence are the only effectual barriers, that have ever been erected in defenco of life, liberty and property. Ev ery other mound has been sweft away by popular com motion, or has been pulled down by the strong arm of force. The way for a State to cuard against en croachments, is not to prate about her sovereignty, but to erect an intellectual wall around her rights. When Education is ptaced within the reach of the masses, we need have no fear about the perpetuity of freedom, or of our institutions. The blessings en joyed by the people, with a proper moral and reli gious restraint, form the strongest safeguard against external and internal foes, that can in any event be made by a nation. Standing armies, navies and fortifications, are as nothing in comparison ; these in the hands of a mercenary soldiery may spread for a time through any country destruction ; but they are not the elements for building up and protecting permanently a country of freedom. Elevating the condition of the masses, ought to be the great desidg eratvm of our legislation ; for, in accomplishment of this, almost every great object of legislation is at tained.

J $ t . . 4 . ;v We are not' personally acquainted With Mr,; Reld, but we do know him by his acts ; we' know him to be true to his cause, and that he has always maintained the princles of the Democratic party.. He Is entirely a self made man, and is emphatically, one of the people. With so able a champion, we have a right to expect that even North Carolina will shake off the chains of Federalism, and, as da ring the Revolution, be the first to declare. her de termination no longer to submit to the tyranny of Whig leaders. - We hope soon to see Mr. Reid in this place with Mr. Manly the Whig .Candidate, out we are not able as yet to make a- formal an nouncement We shall probably be able to do so in our next issue. We have every thing to gain from a contest ; and from the reputation of the two candidates, we are certain that Mr. Reid will prove himself victor." What must be the chagrin of the " Republican," and other prints, when they see in the "Standard" of to day, (as we are assured they will,) that this great champion of Democracy thinks "discretion the better part of valor," and declines the nomina tion. We think this determination, the best evi dence we have seen of his good, manly, practical sense. TOO GOOD TO BE LOST. An Ex-Sheriff, not a thousand miles from this, chanced to fall in with a merry crowd in New Or leans, where the interesting subject of "killing" was mooted and discussed. He remarked that he had killed more men than any one present The com pany expressing surprise, he proposed to bet a treat for the crowd, that such was the fact A gentleman who overheard the proposition, but who had not mingled with the company, approached and accepted the bet, antl challenged our hero to recount his ex ploits. Our friend replied that he had been Sher iff of County, Ahu, twelve years, during which time he bad hanged seven men. The other rejoined that he had practised medicine fifteen years and had killed fifty to his one. The Ex-Sheriff gave it up without a word. GEN. TAYLOR AND THE WAR. Three smart Loco Focos of Q.uincy, Illinois, some time ago, wrote to Gen. Taylor, 'for his opinion of the origin of the Mexican war. The object of these young gentlemen was to get something from Old Zach to enable them to abuse him, as we suppose. This was a very "small potato business" ou their part The old Hero thus answers their letter : Baton Rouoe, La. Feb. 28, 1843. Gentlemen I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 18th ot Janu ary, inclosing a Preamble and Resolutions adopied at a meeting of the citizens of Adams bounty, III. To you, "gentlemen, as the Committee appointed by the meeting, 1 have respectfully to reply, that 1 cannot feel that I am permitted at this time, to res pond to your inquiry in terms other than those that assert the obligation of all who bold military author ity in any country, to put their shoulder to the wheel, and do all they can to bring about a speedy peace. These expressions, I trust, will be deemed suffi cient for declining to express any opinion in regard to the justness and propriety of the war in which the country is engaged. I am, gentlemen, with great respect, Z. TAYLOR, Messrs. I. N. Morriss, P. Cleaveland, and P. Nott, Committee of Correspondence, Quincy, Illinois. These gentlemen had better write again.

Some one mentions as a fact, that the age of but one woman is mentioned in the Bible, at the time of her death ; and he infers hence, that it is not best to be inquisitive about the age of women. Sensible man. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Gales: 1 beg leave to call the attention of the Democrats of North Carolina to one feature of the Debate which was recently had in the United States Senate in reference to the Kidnapping, yc., in the District of Columbia. It will be remembered that Mr. Foote. of Miss, denounced in strong terms his former Democratic Ally. Hale, of New Hampshire, for his fanatical I course on the subject of Slavery. He ewn went so far as to threaten tne tion. oenator witn ,yncn ixuv. if he should ever place-his feet on the soil of Mis- sissippi. sucn a threat was wen calculated to mase Hale a person of more importance than ever, with the Abolitionists at the North: and have him re garded as a promised martyr to their cause. Hale, it is known, has been Dominated, and is spoken of as the Abolition Candidate for the Presidency. This, then was rather a predicament a delicate situation indeed, for the Democracy to be placed in, for it was readily to be perceived, that if rooters denunciation went unsoftened it would leave the tendency to drive Democratic Abolitionists from the Baltimore nomi- What then was the resort? Who came to the rescue? Why that same Mr. Douglas who appeared as the expounder of Democratic Doctrines and political adviser of the faithful Dem ocrats, and the "benighted" Whigs too at the late Locofoco Convention 1 Mr. D. i. no doubt a sharp sighted politician, and saw in the twinkling of an eye, what the Mississippi senators violence was doing. He begs him therefore to desist tells him that he could have adopted no better course to man ufacture open and avowed abolitionists than by de-. nouncing Hale and his adherents that his speech against him, was worth ten thousand abolition votes to him at the North he gives him a hint, yes, more than a mere hint, that every blow be strikes Hale takes away votes from the Democratic ticket proper, and concentrates them upon him as their Candidate that it is only by making abolitionism a matter of no importance or of little importance, that the Dem ocrats can expect to Keep their forces at the North united and declares emphatically " We ark not WILLING TO 3E TRODDEN DOWN BY YOIR VIOLENCE, &.c." This was his language. Who are "we"? Why Northern Democrats How are they to be trodden down by Southern violence ? Why by Ab olition voters who are now in their ranks, deserting their regular nominee and supporting Hale! Cannot every reflecting man see at a glance the game they are playing ? Hold, there, my friend don't deal your blow too heavily on the Champion of Abolition if you do, you will "concentrate the gaze of all the voters of that faction on him," and draw them off from the ticket we put forth at Balti more, and we have a goodly fiumber, and can't af ford to lose them, if we do, we shall be trodiin doienP This is the sum and substance of the Illi nois Senator's remarks. Let any man read them and judge for himself. Well, Mr. Foote undertook to explain, but made the matter worse, for like 8 true hearted Southerner he could not keep in his Indignation, and again be called down on his- head the reproof of Senator Douglass the favorite of the NorUi Carolina Democracy 1 He again told him that his explanation was worth 5,000 more votes to Hale ! It is well the Mississippi Senator stopped where he did, for if he had kept on with bit phil lippics,hewoaldbavt badHaLasafely landed inthel'n wmenwessr. i,iingroan, Hiliurd. Houston White House, and there would have been do chancel"' A1 n"'on, of Delaware, Stephens, Holmes, White House, and there would for the Baltimore nomineenless, seeing his strength, they were to take Hauc ! But really it has come to a beautiful pass, when Southern men are to be de terred from expressing a just Udigoation for fanati cism which threatens to disturb the peace of their firesides. and shed their blood, bat forsooth ! it may "freed few Democrata at the North, who want Abolition "totes to sustain them! And this is the political missionary brought here to instruct the a ignorant and benighted" people of our good old State ! Sir, it behooves every man, throughout the South, to look well tQ the flaNoTtherh Democra cy is paying.

On motion of Mr Ashmun, the House adjourn ed In the Senate, on April, 25, Mr. Badger sub mitted a Resolution which was adopted, instruct ing the Committee on Printing to inquire into the causes of delay irf the public printing, and what action is necessary in relation thereto. . . After some other business, not of public im portance, Mr.. Cass moved that the Senate re. sume the consideration of the bill providing for the 'ascertainment and payment of California claimg. The vote was taken on the motion, and the Senate, 25 to 9, decided to take up the Call- fornia bill. Mr. Mason addressed the Senate at length, chiefly in relation to the amendment or substi tute reported by Mr. Cass, from the military com rniuee, which he argupd did not remove the con stitutional objections which had been urged in re gard to the appointment of Commissioners. Mr. Badger followed at length, in reply. Mr. Benton next addressed the Senate also in support of the constitutional right of the Senate to appoint the examining officers. At the conclusion of Mr. Benton's remarks. Mr. Underwood obtaincd'the floor, and on his mo tion the Senaje adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the House, in, Committee of the whole, took up the special order, to amend the act to raise for a limited time an additional military force and for other pur poses, approved Feb. 11, 1847," providing that commissioned officers, who may have been pjo moted from ranks, in Mexico, shall be entitled to the bounty lands which they would have re reived as non-commissioned officers, or privatos. A debate ensued, and without anv action on xhe bill, the committee rose, and the House ad journed. In the Senate, on April 26, Mr. Badger offer ed a Resolution authorizing the Committee on the Library to purchase the full length painting (now in the rotunda of the capitolj of Gen.

The bill creating a board to adjudicate and set tel the claims growing out of Col. Fremont's op erations in California, was taken up. After a protracted debate as to whether the Board would bean office or mere employment, the bill was hid aside. Mr. Dix asked leave to introduce a bill con cerning the pay department of the army. ' The Senate then went into executive session. Id the House of Representatives, the Speaker laid before the House cepies of correspondence between Major Gen. Scott and the War Depart ment, not heretofore furnished ; which were or dered to be printed- Mr Burt, from the committee on Military Af faire re ported a bill to repeal the proviso of the act of the 18th of June, 1847, which makes it im perative upon the President of the United States, when the war with Mexico shall have terminated and a treaty of peace been ratified, to reduce the number of Major Generals to one and the number of Brigadier Generals to two the same as before the war without regard to the date of commis sion. Mr. Burt said that we are in constant expec tation that the treaty will be ratified ; aRd unless this bill be passed either General Scott or Gen eral Taylor must be dismissed This certainly could not be the desire of the House. Mr Botts contended that, unless the bill shall be passe'd, the Pres:dent would have no discre tion but to dismiss either General Scott or Gen. Taylor. One of the friends of the President mentioned to him that it is his (the President's) de6tre that the proviso be repealed. The question recurred on the engrossment of the bill, when Mr. Cobb moved that the House proceed to the order of the day. This was determined in the negative 82 to 98. There being objection to ordering the bill to be' engrossed it was passed over. , Oiher reports were made from Committees and the House adjourned. In the Senate, on April 27. the Resolution yesterday offered by Mr. Badger directing the purchase of Brown's picture of General Tay' lor, was taken up, and after considerable debate, the whole subject was laid on the table, 21 to 15. The consideration of the California Bill was then resurqed the question being on an amend ment, proposed by Mr. Mason, to thesubstitute of Mr. Cass, providing for the appointment of the Board pf Commissioners by the President, by and wth the advice and consent ot the Senate.

On the ISth of May, iS34, Dr. Brandreth, for the first time, made known in the United States the Celebrated Brandreth Vegetable Universal Pills. He left them to stand or fall by their own merits. He made no allusion to any oth er medicine ; simple lacts were stated, una tne fol lowing principle kid down as the Brandret'hian The ory, viz : that all local diseases,, whether of the stom ach or bowels, enlargement of the joints, rheumatic affections, cutaneous eruptions, dyspeptic complaints or whatever other forms such local disease puts on, were nothing more-than so many symptoms of a dis ordered state of the constitution, and that his pills which was discovered in England in 1751, were a medicine that had the effect of restoring the consti tution to health and vigor, simply by removing all bad and acrimonious humors from the blood by the stomach and bowels. The American public have now made trial of this medicine for nearly ten years, and have found that the medicine is not all humbug. The patronage Dr. Brandreth daily experiences, proves that the medicine gives universal satisfac tion. D" The above Pills are on sale by WILL. PECK, Raleigh, N. C. Price 25 cents per box.
