RALEIGH, N. C.

BTRONG AND TRUE MEN.
We are rejoiced to see that the Whigs are
bringing out their strongest men, for the Legis
lature. This if the true course. Lfitno"miik
'and water man" be nominated, on the plea of
vailabihty. We want no doubtful men we
i'ant only those, who are ns-lrue steel to
Ihe Whig cause. Just look at the Ticket which
Beaufort County present to the voters r
For Striate Col Joshua Tayloe.
For Commont lion. "Edward Stanly and
Frederick Grist.
Every one feels that this Ticket must be
lected.
Granville, too, is out with a strong Ticket,
z : John Bullock, for the Senate Dr. Abner
BV. Gay, James T. Littlejohn and William Amis
or the Commons.
In Johnston, Col. McLeod and Ransom San-
ers are (wo of the candidates. With such men
n the field, as the above, the assurance of victo-
y will be made doubly sure.
MODERN PATRIOTISM.
The last " Standard" says it is for immediate
nnexation, without caring1 a, stiver about war
kith Mexico, England, or any other power; but
ndds, if there is any danger of distracting the
Democratic" party, by agitating the question.
lie is willing to hush it up. The great interests
4f the country its peace, honor and tranquility
Ef-are an nom in the scale with this patriotic Edi-
fcr, ts. the temporary success of a factious par-
m is sufficient to kick the beam, and incline the
alanoe in any direction.
CONGRESS. .
We shall resume our Congressional diary in
ur next, though it is labor lost to prepare a sy
nopsis of Ihe ' sayings and doings" of these
ise men. Could we winnow the proceedings
Rf this whole Congress, we should not obtain a
rain of wheat to every bushel of chair. Nothing
as transpired since we la"t noticed the body, btit
he death of Mr. Brinkekh'off, of Ohio, and the
ejection of the " British Tariff Bill," by a vpte
f 105 to 99.
COUNTY CONVENTION.
The following Delegate have been appointed
othe County Convention, next week, from
Middle Creek District Qimton Utley, Wil
iam Rowland, John Adams, Nathan Adams and
Joseph Adams. And the following, from
&. Matthew' District Sion Rogers, Reuben
Fleming and Edward Chappel.
Will not the Clay Club see to the appointment
fcf Delegates from the Raleigh District 7
ALAS! POOR YORICK'!
That there is a deliberate design to supplant
Jr. Van Buren in the affections of his party and
prevent bis Domination at Baltimore, is too evi
sent to be denied. The proofs are as thick as
Ibe leaves on the trees. We will, very briefly,
its a few of them, which will not only establish
e fact stated, but show the beautiful harmony
hich exists in the party.
At a meeting of the " Democratic Association"
f Richmond, held last week, the proceedings of
hicb are published in the Richmond Enquirer,
arioua resolutions were passed in favor of the
nnexation of Texas, and among them was (he
llowing i" That the Democratic Central Com
mittee be requested forthwith to issue an Ad
dress i to the Democratic party of Virginia, urg
ing the serious and prompt expression of their
opinion on the subject of a re-annexation of
Texas to the Union the propriety of reliecing
their delegates to the BallirmfWGmwtUion from
the instructions which now bind them, leaving
them to the exercise of a sound discretion, or
en instruct them, if they deem it expedient to
do so, to cast the vote of Virginia in favor of
men known and pledged to be in favor of an-
f nexation, and of other action which they deem
proper and efficiejitaa4iniiing the Democracy
of the State in the great and vital object of dr.
foaling the election of Henry Clay."
This is an open and decided stand. Virginia
lost to Mr. Van Buben. The Globe, in the
In ids4, of the confusion and dismay now prevailing
la every side, preserves it boldness of tone and
is firm, dictatorial spirit. It proclaims : " If the
Richmond movement is persisted in, the Demo-
' cratic party in that State is separated from the
j' body of the party, and disbanded."
A long letter from Mr. Dromoole, of the
House of Representatives, addressed to Thomas
Ritchie, Esq. appeared in the Globe of Saturday.
St it full of remonstrances and complaints at the
poorse which Mr. Ritchie hae thought proper to
Pursue in connection with the "Democratic Asso
ciation" of Richmond. Mr. Dromgoole makes
pit declaration, which is quite to the point to
fBe effect that if Mr. Viw Burkn who ha evi
f ntly been preferred, must be withdrawn be-
FM. he cannot be elected by the party, then
is manifest that no one, with an inferior share
ftmi confidence and favour of the party, can
' elected by it as at present constituted and
'organized." Thie seems to be a clear proDo-
pitio.
Anothef leltet inne.irs in the Globe of the iima
P7 from Mr. Kbnkedt, McraocrufCongrestfrcm
""ant, in which lie avows his participation in
1 1
the effort to procure the iwrcinatibn of some other
person than Martin Van JJcikn, at the uaiti
timore Convention, to meet on the 27th instant
He is not urged to this by any loss of confidence
in Mr. Van BuheVs worth or integrity, but un
dor a deep conviction, as he declares, that Mr.
Van Do ren is not the proper man to rally round.
The Indiana delegation in Congress except
the Whig portion, which has nothing to do, of
course with the squabbles appear in their own
names in the Globe of Monday and declare their
conviction that Mr. Van Bcken will not do.
Gen. Saumoers, the Representative from this
District, publishes in the last "Standard," a
Card declaring that there is no chance for Van
Buren that he cannot hope to obtain more than
seven States, if that many. ;
The Mississippi members of the House appear
also in a card, staling that, they cannot support
any one for the Presidency who is not for the im
mediate annexation of Texas. This strikes at
Mr. Van Buren, although he is not mentioned
by name.
The Globe charges that a coalition has been
formed between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Tvxer,
and says that the annexation of Texas was the
pivot on which they had fixed their lever some
time since to overturn the rival and competitor of
both, Mr. Van Buren.
HIGHLAND MESSENGER.
This excellent Whig paper comes to us con.
sidcrably enlarged and improved.
THE TEXAS QUESTION.
The Globe admits that there are many engag
ed in prostituting the question as to the Annexa
tion of Texas " to the vile purposes nf partisan
and sectional electioneering and president maliing
by intrigue." We agree with the Globe entirely
in this opinion v
SMALL BUSINESS.
Mo Tyler has.discontinucd the copies of the
" National Intelligencer" sent to the Legations
abroad because the Editors had the impertinence
to question the propriety of his course on the
Texas question.
NORTH CAROLINA DELEGATION.
The following is a correct list of the Delegates
who represented onr State in the Baltimore nom
inating Convention, viz: Edward B. Dudley,
Richard Ilines, Senatorial : John Gray Bynum,
Alfred Dockery, Edward Lee Winslow, A. H.
Sheppard, Henry K- Nash, Jae. VV. Osborne,
Jeremiah Lippitt, Richard H. R.amsay, Edward
S.anly.
THAT SAME OLD COON.
WHIGS OF THE UNION !
Make room for Old Virginia.
Contrary "to all our arit'icipatlons.Vifginia comes
right side up. .The Whigs have overcome the
heavy Loco Foco. majority in the last Legislature,
and have obtained a sufficient majority to secure
the election on joint ballot, of a United States
Senator. What State in the Union can the Lo
co Focos rely on with certainty !
THE TEXAS QUESTION.
The Editor of the, " Standard," in his paper of
the 3d of April says" The whole South is for
tho annexation, and we believe that in the end
the entire country, with a few exceptions, will be
for it. Texas now or necer. It must form a por-.
tion of our Republic, to which it now stretches its
arms for succor and protection or it will come
under the Government of England." In his pa
per of the 31th, in a spirit of exultation, hoping
that on this question " the whole South" would
declare itself favorable to annexation, he inquires
why Mr. Clay does not come out and declare his
opinions, and asks if he is afraid to meet the ques
tion. "Does he tremble," continuerthe ' Slan-
drrd,' for his Northern interests 1 and continues :
" We observe that his friends in New York
are holding public Meetings, in which tbey take
the strongest ground. against the annexation.
What does that mean 7 What are we to think
of Mr. Webster's anti-Texas movements t Docs
he reflect tho opinions of Mr. Clay ! We hope
Mr. Clay will show his hand at once. He is now
in Vir finis. Let him proclaim his opinions to
the Virginians, and not wait nntil he reaches
Washington and leels the puolic pulse Irom all
quarters. By the way, is the Jlegister Waiting
for the cue from its great leader 1"
In hit next number, (May 1st) he publishes
the "opinions" of Mr. Clat on this question, and
passej theni over without a single denunciation,
albeit, he boldly avows his opposition to the pro
posed annexation, and onlv notices Mr. C's. letter
by saying
The magnitude of this question, and j
the source, from which the letter emanates, will
doubtless ensure for it a careful and attentive

condemnation. Was he waning for his cue! In
iho laat "StnnHoril Iip rpiiwrks : " Mr. Clavis
opposed to annexation eitheriinmediately or here
alter, whilst Mr. Van Buren. though oiwosed
it as an immediate Step, is nevertheless in favor
of it." In. his paper of the 3d tilt., he said 'Texas

Van Bucen for snying " nay, not just noie, but

br.um upon Mr. Clat who, as he says,, u opposed
to it "ever," whom be ought not more to blame
for taking that stand, than his little pet for ob-
jecting to his favorite project " NOW or never "
In the ' Standard" of the same date, he says,
" Mr. Van Buren, as well as the great body of
the Democratic party, is known to he in favor of
Annexation. Let us see if Mr. Van Buren is in
favor of annexation " noip or never," which the
'Standard' declares to be the watchword. In his
letter, he 6ays :
"Should not every one, then, who sincerely
loves Ins country who venerates its time-honored
and glorious institutions who dwellB with
our rise. ororV. and present rond,tioo H,n
nrii e ailtl I Ur it rm iueruiali.ia oiiriiinnla. ...itt.
steady stop wiih which we have advanced to our
present eininenre, in despite of the hostility, and
in contempt of the hitter revilinga of the enemies
of freedom in all parts of the globe, consider,
arid that deeply, whether we would not, by the
immediate annexation of Texas, place a weapon
in the hands of those who now look upon us and
our institutions wiih distrustful and envious eyes,
that would do us more real, lasting injury as a
nation, than the acquisition of such a territory,
valuable as it undoubtedly is, could possibly re
pair !" . ;
The "Standard" of the 3d ult. says, if we do
not get Texas now, "it will cotuo under the
Government of England." Mr. Van Buren says
this is nonsense, and expresses himself in the
following manner :
' It is also apprehended by many, that the Bri
tish authorities will attempt to make Texas a Bri
tish colony or dependency. I find it ditlicuUto
credit the existence of such infatuation' on the
part of any European power. I cannot bring my
self to believe that any European government
which has not already made up its mind to pro.
voke a war with this country, w.ll ever attempt
to colonize Texas, either in form or 111 substance."
To which of the two we shall award the great
est Statesman-like views, Mr. an Buren or Ihe
Editor of the " Standard," is lint
ur purpose
now to decide but we merely draw a compart-!
son to ask " when Doctors differ who shall de-
cider

Mr. F. avowed himself a Whig In principle a
Whig from the start and made a brief but forci
ble statement of the great Measures of t he Wli g
party.and his reasons for supporting them. He
portrayed Mr. Clay nobly breasting the tide of
Executive usurpation through years of adverse
fortune, bravely battling for the princiolcs of our
Constitution and of true Freedom, when tne timid
shrunk back and the feeble despaired ; crownin"
years of generous effort in support of the coun
try's best interests by his patriotic sacrifice in the
passage of the Comprorhiee Act, by which he res
cued the Country from the horrors of civil war
and fratricidal bloodshed. He loved the Protec
tive policy much, though he had not shared in
passing nor wholly approved the Tariff of IS2S;
but ho loved the Union, Peace, and Concord efren
more Ihan -this, and he. had abiding confidence

or 4wo Ihoiwamj. wcte.iu .Iho HC-inuy, aiid
most of thrill in a state of high excitement.
Firearms were discharged ; Ono Native
American wan killed, one or two others
were reported lis dead, and several were
severely wounded. Stones and bricks were
showered 111 abundance. Tho Native Ameri
can peparated, but shortly afterwards rallied
anil drove back tin; Irish, and 0.1c of that
party was considerably hurt, and six or seven
of the bouses in which (hey took shelter weie
considerably diunagitd by the breaking in of
their doors and windows, &r;.
The worsl result of tin Wicked contest is
seen in the loss of life. From tho beginning
of ihe affray the shots .vere so frequent as lo
exi'itfi wonder that no more was killed.
Ui orge Shiner was almost instantly killed,
a ball having passed through his bend.
J. W. Wright, a young man, was Inkni j
up dead, a ball having pierced Ins lefl breast,
just above the heart. Ho was not a parlici.
