Tuciiln) , July 9, 1 84U. 1 tT In publishing in a late paper, the report irera Chapel Hill, we committed an error in sta tin; that Mr. Ransom was entitled to the first -distinction in the Freshman Class. It should have, been Mr. W. M. Ransom, of Warren County. v - ' i ' PROFANITY. A great hue and cry baa been made by the Lo. to Foco party in relation to a charge having been roads tint HrtixJkaxJiaijRse language to Jame K. Polk, while a member of Ccmgreaa -"Go home, Goddamn you, where you belong." 'this charge has been denied, and, we believe, fully disproved. But, by way of letting this - rigidly righteous" party see that they are the last ones to throw stones, we find in a pam phlet, written by Jesse BeDton, a native of Orange County in thia State, and brother of the Hon- a nomas n. .uen'.on, mat " u Id Hickory," on a certain occasion, went to Murfreosboro', and bul lied the Legislature of Tennessee, telling them that if they did not pass such and such laws, that 44 by God, any twelve good and lawful men would find them guilty of perjury." On another occasion, says Mr. B , the Congressional candi dates were addressing the people in Nashville, and in the midst of Col. Cannon's Speech, he said " this is five damned infernal lies you have told and I can prove you guilty of three." But this was all right then, but exceedingly wicked now. All well in him, but very naughty in Mr. Clay if he said it. We condemn profanity from our hlL84eiPisJB. il j bntjjonsea horhely phrase, " what is sauce for the goose is saucelfbTthe gander." IN UNiON THERE 18 STRENGTfi. , We perceive that there are some Counties in tb State, in which it is probable that there will be one or two Whig Candidate above the regu lar Ticket. This is very wrong, and it is the du ty of; every true Whig immediately to take proper steps to prevent such unhappy consequences and disastrous divisions among the patriotic Republi cans of the State. " United we stand, divided we fall" Is as true now, as it was when the Whige triumphed in achieving our glorious in dependence in the Revolution. If any Candidate is aq reckWand regardless of Whig principles and Whig preferences, as to prefer himself to all other men, and is so obstinate and self-willed as lft.0ouh.e of. ilia .political friends, he is unworthy to be called a true Whig. .LJl JiJljBnDdJbig rjjilceall good trees,.be known, by their fruit. P. S. Since the above was in type, we learn that in one of the Counties (Chowan) where wo feared defeat from the multiplicity of candidates, the difficulty Las been arranged. R. T. Paine, Esq. with the'spirit of a true Whig, has withdrawn from the' contest, though few men 1 could have rendered the State more efficient service in the Legislature. He found that to continue a candi date, was to jeopard the success of Whig princi ples, and, he withdrew.

NATIVE AMERICANS, &c The "Standard" recently charged that the Whig and Native American parties of the Nor thern Cities "were identical, and, of "course, that the Whigs were equally concerned with them in tho late Philadelphia riots. The more we denied it, the more, the "Standard" asserted it. We perceive by the last Northern papers, that an im mense meeting of adopted citizens, consisting prin cipally of Germans and Irishmen, has been held at Baltimore. The room where they m?t, which is calculated to accommodate 1200 persons, was completely crowded, and very many were unable to get in at all. The meeting was called to or der by Mr. George Kaylor, President of the Ger man Clay Cluh, after which Mr. G. G. Collins, an adopted citizen from Ireland, addressed the as semblage in an able, eloquent and convincing speech. He alluded to the recent disturbances in Philadelphia, and proved clearly that the Whigs, as a party, had neither part nor lot in them, fur. ther than to assist in preserving order and pro tecting the rights of all good citizens. He also went 6n to show that the Loco Focos had been the first instigators of what is termed the Native American party. His address throughout 1 most enthusiastically cheered, and gave universal satisfaction. After closing his remarks, Mr. Roane, Editor of the German Correspondent- made a' short speech in German, wherein he sta ted that the Whigs were not responsible for the action of the Native American party, and that any adopted citizen, from whatever nation, was greatly- deceived- if he or they entertained any such opinion. '', Mr. R. alio spoke of the great advantage resulting from a Protective Tariff, and proved clearly that all those measure contended for and advocated by Henry Clay, were safe kkmg-jnen, ,0 tne country, its noble D- The last "Standard" admjni a lies its Lo co Foco friends " to bo upon their guard against the tricks of the coons," and warns themagainst a similar " attempt' in relation to Col. Hoke; to that made by the Register in 1842, to produce an impression that Mr. Henry had withdrawn from the Gubernatorial contest ; and winds up by say. ing, ' watch them, we say again watch them." Passing by the falsity of the charge in relation lo ourseff, we beg leave "16 inquirewTiaTwaathe" purport and matter of that little pamphlet, clan destinely issued from the " Standard" Office last week, entitled " Thoughts for the West" ! If its language and design be " the truth, the whole truth, andnothing but the truth," why attempt to conceal it 1 We have not been able to lay hands on one yet, but if it be not against the secret in. junction of bis masters, we hope the Editor will give it a, place in his columns. And As talks about " trickery" ! Shall we not - warn" our Whig friends of the " West" against hese precious "thoughts" prepared for" their meditation 1 If they tell no lies oh the Whig party, we fear not the effect they will produce if they pervert known facts, and misrepresent established truths, we kriow that the intelligent yeomanry oi inai invincible region will have wisdom enough to detect them, and treat them with that contempt and scorn which they merit. PICK THE BEAM, &c. In the last number of the "Signal." the Editor travels out of1 his way, unnecessarily as we think, THE CAMPAIGN COMMENCED. Saturday last was an exciting day in this com. munity. The Electioneering Campaign, a it is called, was opened by our County Candidates, who addressed a large crowd of voters. The speaking was commenced by Mr. Manly, a can didate for the Senate, and w doubt whether a more effective Speech will be made by any can. didate in the State, during this canvass. In an address of about three hours, he poured uch a flood of light upon the great question which di vide the two political parties of the country, as must, we think, have produced conviction in the mind of some of hi 'political opponents, while the Whig were cheered, instructed and strength, encd. Mr. Thompson, the opposing candidate for the .Senate, being absent, Mr. Wilder a Loco Foco candidate for the Commons, took the stand, and played the demagogue to his heart' content for about two hours. His Speech, at least, that por tion of it which we heard, was rather a reply to rrn mn.1.. I ft . ..r. - n. uy ir. uiANLT, as wing Elector, in 1840, than to that just delivered. His political friends, however, seemed to think it vastly smart and witty, and applauded him to the very echo. Next followed Henry W. Miller, who added fresh laurels to his reputation as a political de bater. He held his opponents very uneasy, as he poured out upon them broadside after broad. side, lie touched upon all the great questions of the day, though they had been so fully diV cussed by Mr. Manlv, as to leave him onlv a gleaner in the political field. Ho reviewed the doings of the last Legislature on the subject of the Banks, and examined in detail Mr. Shepabd's famous Relief Bill. Ho illustrated most forci. bly the inconsistency of the party in taking up My?SOsjheirandidajer Governor, by citing trom the Journals of the Legislature va rious votes of his, diametrically opposed to the professed principles of tho party. For instance, tfyey profess to be .opposed to the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands yet Mr. Hoke voted, in 1835, for Mr. Henderson's Land Reso tions. They profess to be opposed to Banks- jei inr. iioke voieu lor that mammoth scheme, the Charleston, Louisville it, Cincinnati Rail Road Bank &c. &. In short, he held up to the saw ot his tellow-citizens, for more than twn hn- the inconsistencies and enormities of the Loco Foco party, in that bold and fearless manner which distinguishes his speaking. When he closed, it was about dark, and Mr. James B. Shepabd Vose to reply. Ho called for candles, and, as we supposed, he was going to have a long heat, we slipped out to get a dish of tea. We were not absent more than 15 or 20 minutes, when, on our return, we found the crowd pouring out, Mr. SHEPARDhavinij dec lined F0 THK HRJISTKB. WHIGS OF NORTH CAROLINA, Why do you slumber?

The war between the Globe and the Calhoun eliqne, suspended for a short time, upon the nomination of Polk and Dillas, has recommen ded and is waged with more fierceness and bit terness than ever. The Sectator assails Mr. Benton in every way and accuses him of amti. atwn with the Whigs! and chargeslhat the Globe's course is dictated by a desire in reality to defeat Mr. I'olk. The Globe, on the other hand, reiter. ates that the Annexation plot of Mr. Calhoun and his followers is all a scheme of President making and that these 'charaaters are ready and willing to dissolve the U'nibn for their own selfish pur poses It will thus be seen that the " harmoni ous" democracy continues in the same discordant tate which has existed for twelve months past. .

Tho first State election takes place 111 Louisiana on the first of July, for inourbors of Congress, Senntors, and Be. prosentatives of the State Legislature, and Dele gates to the Convention lo revise the Constitu turn of llnit Stale. Not now, as this time four years ago, do we calculate upon Louisiana heading the Whig col uin.i on us march to victory. Circumstance, of recent occurrence, and especially 1 ha extensive I cxan interest in Now Orleans, lead lit to appre. bond llmithm u lection will go against the Whig.: not doubting, nevertheless, that tho vote of Lou isiana will be jriven, when tho time comes, in fa vor of tho Whig candidates for the Presidency and Iho Vico Presidency. At present, our readers may be aware, all four of tho Congressional districts of the .Siat , represented by our opponents. The election of a single Whig- .Representative to Congress will, therefore, bo a clear gain for that pany towards Iho revolution which it is its duly to effect in ilm composition of tho House of Representatives.
