An article nn itt the above caption, copied into the Re publican, by our foreman, during our ab ener, has excited thc ire of our friends of the Salimsy Watch mum That paper says, thai it mo tains a 4 slanderous iupuution gainat the Whig u m party.', We admit that the article b not in thc best .taste, but we deny that the "imputation ooraplalocd cft h altotirr "slanderous."

In conclusion, we will give our readers a peeimen of ilie dtencj and goij taste of the llariwi.f. Under the Editorial head of the Lut paper, we find the following teitty (?) piragraph : " The U.ttcL" We see it stated in all the Whir p"1!11' ,iiat fc l000 P1 hx raii.-'! a horrid howl."

The iinjrtaii-i of the agricultural interest of I I be pcpfc of the United States, is beginning I to at trie: great attention; and not ouly agri- culturistF, but all classes, are alive to the im portance of ha ing sa Agricultural Bureau at W.hinton Vitj. And no time will le j Utur to thc establishment of this pf department than the present, "J1 increase and growing importance of lhe r,"tcJ Sta,S baTe 90 multiplied the Julics of our crctarics at Washington, that Congrrsji have deemed it important to ctb- lish another deportment to be called the Home Department, the head of which is a i cabinet officer ; and among the duties of this S seeretarv. would it not be proper to have an Agricullnral Rureau? Thc United States is ; lUe ony Government that has not given this f imp,rUnt interest of its country some . atlon,iOQ Krcry othcr nation worthy to Cranked among the great powers, ha.s a sirui- department. And certainly, in the United I States, where the agriculturist is its chief j . Ti jrunport where hia Labors are its sure pro- L . . , , , . . , , , ' tection, and without which wc wouldscarcely I . . .t t . exut as a countrv, this subject ought to attract the attention and exertion of our representatives iu Congrcs. The agricultu- rit bears the greatest burdens of the cuun i try pays more by odds of its taxes, and, ! from the nvturc of his calling, receives less of the lenrfits of legislation, than any class of our people, and is, therefore, justly entitled ! to all thc lights that can be thrown on the science, that each may Us enabled to profit Rut those men will be disappointed of their 1 aim; tho General is a man of too niucn " Grume of purpose" to submit to such dom- ination, and wc would not be surprised to 1 see, before the election, the very men who are now trying to put him down, laboring to ' prove that he is a marvelous proper man. Rut to the Article of the Journal: "We stated last week that all the Whig candidate expressed a willingness to be gov- erned by a District Convention, reflecting anv thing like a fair expression of the wishes oi i.wj inatnet; but now we understand Uen Dockery has ame out deculeiilv a 'mi Hit ub- mi":J feurtioH of a (invention. Ju ust what we expected and expressed to some friend. Nothing will induce him to leave the field but a general uprising of the peo ple from one end of the District to the other. We understand :hat he now charges Mr. Little with being brought out by midnight eaucuse in Stanly and Anson counties. New light, we sappone, has broken upon the vision of the General since last week, as he said nothing about any such caucuses at Con- eral haa determined to run whether it is the wishes of the Whigs or not, and it there fore become their duty to frown on any one who thus wilfully attempts to distract the party. He objected to being charged with outing himself upon the District. But how speaks his conduct) Does he not say, as plain as actions can speak, that the v higs must take him or run the risk of electing a t -1 ! Democrat. I there any patriotLan ia this. If there U we would like to know in what ii coiLsista. We hope Jhe .Whigs of this Dis trict will teach Gen. Dockery such a lesson that it will be remembered by all future as pirants. Let a District Convention he held a nominee be made and then let every iv his unite on him to a man As we have said, in another article, we take no part between the three Whig candi dates; we would not give a pinch of snuff to see either of them elected. Still, we would advise the Journal to be a little ohary about applying hard words to Gen. Dockery; it may have to cat them all before the elec tion. The Revenue Law. Contrary to the general impression from the reading of the act, the Revenue Law, except the seventh section, goes immediately iuto oper ation. So the Treasurer of the State has decided, having received from the attorney General his opinion, as follows: Raleioih May Oth 1849v . Sir: Yt hare requested my opinion - on the proper construction of the 7th section of t be act passed at the recent session of the Legislature, "an act to increase tho Reve nue of the State." Ttoe question you pre sent arises on the proviso, found at the in clusion of that section, and Is whether that proviso extends to the whole act ; and if nt-t, to how much thereof. I am of opinion that the proviso extends to the entire 7th section and to each and every subject of taxation therein specified, and that it extends to no other-part of the act. If the proviso was as is alleged by omj intended to be less extensive than the vhtJe of the 7th section, I am uuable to perceive that intent in the language of the law. A cry respectfully, i Your ob't. serv't.; C L. Hixton, B. F. MOORE. Public Treasurer. TI1E AVIIIG CANDIDATES. The Whigs of this Congressional District are in a most distressing state of distraction. They havcj three " Richmonds" in the field, each claiming to be the people's candidate. First, therd is Gen. Dockery, the man of "strong intellect" and ' firm purpose," who had the mananiiiiit v two vears arm. tn " hjir-lr nut." for nmicl M. lUrrincer : then there is law- ycr Little, (by the the way, that is a great misnomer, for he is a man of very larye cor poral dimensions;) and, lastly, there is the War-horse, Mr. Sanders 31. Ingram, who j fought several days at Vera Cruz after the balll was crrer. How are tLy tn manage ? In the height of their tribulation, the Whigs of Cabarrus bethought themselves of an ex pedient, which is a very good one if it would answer the purpose. They proposed to hold a District Convention, and accordingly asked the candidates, if they would " acquiesce in the selection of a nominee, made by a Con vention of the District fully and fairly con stitute." Rut it was no go : To the above proposition, Mr. Little and Mr. Ingram, (each Jcnowintj, we presume, that he would be the choice of thc Convention,) gave a cordial assent; but the man of mind and firmness would not consent. He gives the following j very wcu reason: That Convention " as I generally gotten up and managed" are j " neither more nor less than a gross usurpa- tion of power which, among other acts, isexer i cised by adroit managers, who, knowing the just prejudice with which the people view j Conventions, and the impracticability of get- ting them up whilst but one candidate is be fore thc people, induce by their influence others to take the field, for the sole purpose of forcing the people to consent to place in their hands a convection, which they very gene rally use to accomplish their original design of driving a former candidate from the field." (Wait, reader, till we take breath !) Who now J that tbe General is not right ? We have no doubt, (we can't express tho H051 thc " b'Sn influential language" tna General, but,) we have no ddnbt that tne "original design" of "the managers" bout Concord, was to drive him from the field. Who, then, will blame him for not consenting to go into their Convention ? But we have nothing to do with the dif ficulties of the Whigs ; they must extricate themselves as best they can. We go for the independent candidate and we trust the people will go for him when the day of trial comes. Hurrah for Caldwell I a g. , : (Communication. . For the Carolina Rupublican. Mr. Editor : Oh vrt at a tantleJ web we weave. VY bea first we practice to deceive ! I Scott' ' Marmion. The " webs" woven by political hypocrites so often veil their perception, that the off spring of their distorted vision, sometimes become the most amusing pictures, but not unfrequently such grotesque monsters as to disturb their equanimity. If you refer to the Charlotte Journal of the 11th of May, yon will see that "4micus InyenuiLitis" a correspondent of that paper, became horrified at tfye figure, presented to his view, by Capt. CaiDWIIX, the jnde- pendent Candidate for Congress, seen V . . v r .v. t w tnrougn u meanen ut iuc . the leaders of the federal party. It wbnkl seem that "Amicus Iogenuitatis" is pecuh'arly unfortunate ; for his memory ap- pears to be as imperfect as his vision He says : " When Ihiaking of Capt Caldwell's being an nounced aa an ImfrpeiMJent Candidate, my life, I could not tee te frmiora in being: named "'l 1 - l! ' . I . i t l . inWDCDUCOin an cue. uuwm ii aau buii uwu .t-..i .i parucutara rauro uuuutuji Now, ilr. Editor, is it not a great pity that " Amicus" "could'nt tee" the wisdom in being named " independent," until the CaDtain. at Concord, thrust aside the web of Federalism and gave him a fair view of his independent position. Not having been at Concord, I did not Mr. Little " bluff off" the Captain; but, from a gentleman present who can "see," I am assured that, if Amicus teed such a " blun on. he tee d what no body else could "see;" for it is admitted that Capt. Caldwell made Mr. Little look a little'&Wer. The vision of Mr. Little too, it seems, was a little oblique y for he was 'mder the necessity of asking for a definition of inde pendence in a candidate, having, like " Ami cus," also lost his memory as well as his political eye-sight and forgotten that Gen. Taylor was not only announced as an inde pendent candidate ; but that he said he never would accept the nomination of any party. If " Amicus" could recall his lost recollection, if he were capable of the exercise of a little political candor, if he could . only " see" straight ia politics, the conviction would overtake him, as it would Mr. Little, and the whole federal party, that the position of Capt. Caldwell, as an independent candidate, is infi nitely more manly than that of Gen Taylor. Old Zack, at first, insisted that he was not fit for president (which turns out lamentably true ) that if he were a candi date at all, he would be the candidate of the whole people, and not of a party that, if he were president, he must be free from par ty trammeh; and yet, as his hopes brightened and ambition grew up in his heart, he began by accepting first the nomination of one par ty, and then of another, and finally declared that he would accept the nomination of the democrats if they would only give it to him ! All tk Hmnfnn Tlnr a9i mnlir cealing his principles, if he had any, while his emissaries were dodging into every hole and corner of the country, pledging him to the support of all the various antagonistic opiuions entertained by politicians every where, as well as to all the corrupt factions who have no principles. This wire working of Taylor wove the " tangled web" that has distorted the vision of " Amicus" so that he " could'nt see the wisdom of being named independent," when Capt. Caldwell was thus announced. Unlike Taylor whose boasted independence went no farther than to make a show of it, by proclaiming that he would accept no nomi nations, while he was courting the favor of every littly corrupt faction, leaving each to infer that his principles accorded with theirs, and then turning round and accepting the nomination of any or all, Capt. Caldwell, independent of all nominations, but with a manly avowal of his principles, without any mean concealments, presents himself to the people, as a candidate for Congress. D6es not this frankness, this truly independent course of Capt, Caldwell, shame the low truckling equivocation of Gen. Taylor who, at thc first bait, nibbled for a nomination ? Avowing no principles, the only thing Old Zack could boast of, was his independence ; and this he meanly abandoned, the moment the contemptible faction of Natives tendered him a nomination that any respectable states man would have been ashamed of! How immeasurably superior, in every sense of the term, is the manly independence of Capt. Caldwell, to the laughable boast of Gen. Taylor, that he would be independent of all; and yet, all most at the same time, he became the suppliant of each contemptible faction to secure his election ; and having thus suc ceeded, he has sunk to be the mere tool of the most prescriptive office job-bing party that ever existed I Were Capt. Caldwell now to abandon his independence, which is precisely similar to that of Taylor at first, and to accept, first one and then another nomination, all the while concealing his principles and profess ing all things to all men, as Taylor did, what would be thought and said of him ? and yet he would not be as censurable as the former ; for the office to which he aspires is of less magnitude. If " Amicus" could only f(see," be would discover that Capt CaldweU is truly an independent candidate independent of nomi nations ; independent of cliques and factions ; independent and above board in th,e expres-" sion of his political principles which harmo nise with the genius and spirit of the consti. tution of the United States, : "l&eMs&j$ ox teas the nominee of ajConv6bon,;ow; if he, could reje6er and " he would know that Taylor,' at first,Vfe nbt : npmi- nee that ne declared he nev would be ; but that, beggaring all consistenc ', he" soon be- cam t he stool pigeon of all b decoy the un-, reflecting. The independence of Cap Caldwell com mands the respect of every fctelligent voter in the district; and the peons will be apt to show their aonreciation of lis services and TI . - 1 merits at the polls, at the en!
