J. THE SPOILS! THE SPOILS .Under this familiar and attractive caption so attractive and familiar, we mean, to the ear of Loco Focoism the Standard," with its custo mary illiberalky, imputes unworthy motives to us in the course we recently thought proper to pursue in relation to Mr. Secretary Preston's treatment of the Whig Press of the State. It does seem to us that it illy becomes a journal, that has so frequently raised the' most plaintive jeremiads, in days gone by, over the dispensation of patron age by a. Whig Governor, and that has so often added up the column tf expenditures for State printing, with tearful yearnings, to , prate, about motives'' aoijt" apoft." It is not altogether consistent, either, in print, 'that has stooped to every low meail&fc.-ut t&' into power and office ; that ha not hesitateel to tamper with the most vital and delicate question that ever distrac ted the Country, for that end ; and that has daily pandered to an unjust and unfounded prejudice, that has seriously injured the community in which it lives, and from which it derives a goodly portion of its subsistence, to get a hold on the " spoils" of office it is not altogether consistent, we say, nor creditable, in such a print, to talk of a " thirst for patronage." Let the " Standard" take heed lest it fall. It treads on slippery ground," when it has the effrontery to rebuke what it terms "a love for the treasury pap." The idea! The " Stan dard" is certainly a brave and learless journal it is not afraid of tb.it which often appals the stoutest hearts Fhame ! But when " borrowing the color of a virtuous deed," and lecturing others about" motives," it should be wary, lest its own character be tried by that standard, which makes " Libertines chaste, and misers good, A coward valiant and a priest sincere." It is untrue that we were urged by improper motives to make the comments we did upon Mr. Preston's course. ' They were not only justified, but imperatively demanded, by the sentiment of Whigs everywhere in the State, and we were re peatedly pressed to allude to the subject. We reiterate that had the patronage of the Depart ment been bestowed upon any one of our Whig contemporaries, we should have been gratified at the selection ; as we certainly were gratified at the selection of those excellent journals, the "North State Whig" and " Greensboro' Patriot," for the official publication of the laws. The "Standard" is equally random in. its asser tion, that our " excoriation of Mr. Preston" had the effect of procuring us the Navy Advertisement, which has since appeared in this paper. The truth is, that Advertisement actually reached us, on the day after the article referred to appeared. But enough of this matter. ' It may seem small to some: nut, wgJooK npoo as an jnsun w tue claims of the Whig Press of the State, and so re garding it. we fcou Id but speak of it, as we thought it deserved to be spoken ot. The Militart Movemekts in Tkxas. The people of Texas continue much excited about the Santa Fe affair; and seem determined to take armed possession at once. Gov. Bell has issued commissions for the raising of troops to persons in almost every county. The following, from a let ter of Col. Thomas M. Likens to Governor Hen derson, is a specimen : "I shall, by virtue of a commission which I hold from Gov. Bell, enroll and organize a company of one hundred men for the Santa Fe expedition, on the 27th inst. Should ten or twelve clever fel lows, well mounted on mules, from your country, meet me on that day, they shall not be disappoin ted in getting situations please let me know." Another is as follows : "In obedience to an order from his Excellency the Governor I am commissioned to enroll and organize a full company, to number in the aggre gate one hundred men, to be received and enrol led respectively from certain counties so that all nortion of the State may participate in a military expedition to Santa Fe, to support the rights of the State to the disputed territory. Therefore, no tice is hereby given to the citizens of San Augus tine county , that ten members will be received into the company, if they will meet meet me in She.-. byville on Wednesday, the 3lst uay oi JUiy insi., and give me their names. "The company will be required to march for its destination by the 1st day of September next. This, the 17th July, 1850. Kespectiully, ' "J. M. Smith, of Shelby ." ; As the Indians on the Texas frontier continue to be trou blesome, it is very probable that our new and sister State had better apply her military ener gies in that quarter. 0- In the rapid transmission of news, which now takes place, and the consequent accomoda- SidJrWate Kite puten'efe, to remember that a very considerable additional expense is incurred. The cost of obtaining the, news, as we get it from all quarters, by Telegraph, adds largely to theheafy expenses of a newspaper press. It is cheerfully borne, however, in hopes that a corresponding increase of patronage will make up for the outlay. We are indebted to a friend for a Catalogue and Circular of the Medical College uf South Carolina, at Charleston, lrom which, we learn i hat that Institution is in a flourishing and pros- condition. The Medical Faculty presents . orravnfnrofessionalcelebriUes that speak very highly for the means and opportunities afforded of a thorough medical education. Samuel A. Eliot, the Whig candidate, was .wtpd in Boston on Monday, by a large majority over bis two Free-soil and Democratic competi tors a member of the House of Representatives Ink the olace of Mr. Wikthrop, resigned. TK;,.lt k the more gratifying, as Mr. Eliot was the first signer of the address from Boston ap proving of Mr. Webster's course on the Temto ,;,i k;iu and his triumphant election may be re garded as the ratification by the city of Boston both of Mr. Webster's couse and Mr. Eliot's approv al Of it.. ; GqvANLY THE WHITE BASIS. ' ! A Card! over $he signature of T. Rcffin, Jr., accompanied by certificates lrom several highly respectable Gentlemen in! Rockingham County, relative to Gov. Maslv's Wentworth Speech, having appeared in the last " Standard," Gov.! Masey addressed us, on Thursday last, the following letter for publication, which we take pleasure in laying before fhe Public. Mr. Ruffia's Card, it is proper to state, re-affirms the stalement;rmade in a former certificate by himself and iour others, that Gov. Makly took ground at Wentworth in favor of changing the basis of Representation to the White Basis j and the additional certificates which he has procured to sustain the allegation affirm the signers to have so understood him, also. Gov. Manly's explan ation is, in our judgment, every-way satisfactory and, will doubtless be so considered by all who peruse it. With these few remarks, which is all that our space, to-day, permits, we commend the .'letter below to the attention of the JPeople of the State. "' ' r'"-- To the Editor of the Register i It is unpleasant and generally unprofitable to re fer to the bickerings of a heated political campaign when the contest has ceased ; or to reproduce the speeches that were imde when the ezcitemeut, which called them forth and invested them with a tempo rary interest, has passed away. An article however, in the last Raleigh Standard, published by Mr. Thomas Muffin, Jr., under Jhe head of u A CARD TO THE PUBLIC," wherein he gratuitously makes what he is pleased to Call a question of veracity betweeu himself and jr.e, impels me from motives of self-respect as well as a proper regard for the opinious of my friends, to make a brief statement upon the subject. The discussion of such issues, whether assumed or real, in the uewspanera, is, in my judgment, offen sive to the public taste, for various reasons. Person al "difficulties or misunderstandings among gentle men, when tbey exist in fact, can always be adjusted more satisfactorily in private. 1 am not resDousible fo this intrusion upon the public, and truly regret the necessity which leaves me no other alternative In a certi6cite addressed to the editor of the Stan dard, dated Wentworth. Jaly 16th, 150, and signed by Mr. T. RufBn. Jr. and others, and published on the 20th of that month, it is stated in substance, that they were present at the political discussion between my opponent and myself at Went worth in Rocking ham County, on the 29th June preceding, and that they understood me as declaring that 1 was in favor of abouslnug federal population as the basis of rep resentation in oar Constitution, and of instituting white population in ita stead: and further that I stated I was a better friend to equal suffrage than my opponent. Accompanying Mr. Ruffin's ''Card to the Public" in the last Standard are published sundry other certificates of gentlemen, dated since the election was over, who were present on that oc casion, and who affirm in substance that they also so understood tne. Now I do not undertake to s.ty that these gentle men have stated falsehoods, nor that they have cor ruptly and maliciously misrepresented me. By no means. I say my positions mere misunderstood. Whether this arose from any obscurity in the man rier in which they were stated by me, that being my first speech in the campaign, or whether the impres sions and opinions of those gentlemen were derived from unfounded inferences from my arguments, in stead of legitimate conclusions, 1 know not. But by some means my position and opinions were misinter preted by them, as I sball proceed to f how. 1 On the 29th day of June last, I met my opponent for the first lime during the campaign in his own County at Wentworth. I commenced the discussion and alluded briefly to several topics. In regard to Equal Suffrage, I said or intended to say, as I hod done many times berore, that, it by al lowing the qualified voters in the House of Com mons to vote also in the Senate, it was cou tended that this made them eqnnl or gave them equal polit ical power under our Constitution, it was a mistake: that it wonld not accomplish that object. By way of illustration, I argued that the County of Onslow formed one Senatorial District and was allowed one Senator. The Counties of Wilkes, Caldwell. Burke and McDowell formed one Senatorial District and was nllowcd one Senator. That allowing all th free white men in these districts to vote for their Senators respectively, woold not be granting to them an equality of potetr, for as Onslow had about 800 voters and -the other four Counties had about 4000 voters, it would be making 800 men equal to 4000. or making one man equal to five. And I ar gued that it would be necessary for those nho advo cated the proposed amendment in the Constitution on this ground, to change the basis of representation to the white population principle, so that one white man in one section of the State would be of equal weight to a white man in any other section that the ad vocates of the doctrine, to be consistent men, rauft go for the change. Such was, I think, my argument ; such was certainly my meaning, i et in a rapia ae bate, heard only once, gentlemen might have adopt ed the opinion that I was advocating the establish ment of the White Basis. While on the same sub jec, I stated that the recent Democratic Convention had proposed to change the Constitution by extend ing the right of voting for members of the General Assemhty and of electing the Judges by the people : that the Whig Convention not only proposed these changes, but also the questions of electing the Offi cers of State and Justices of the Peace by the peo ple ; that the fvhigs had trios gone further than the Democrats, and, I remarked playfully, that therefore I was a better Free Suffrage man than my opponent In regard to the federal basis of representation, I said in ubstance, that many persons in this State, myself among the number, were of the opinion that, when the new basis of representation was established in our Copstitution, slaves and property in slaves en tered too largely in the composition. That, slaves formed a most important item of ea 'eolation for both Houses of the Assembly ; in the Commons slaves be iuz estimated as persons by counting tbree-fifthe, and in the Senate as property by counting the amount of una ibiu vu mem into inn nnh Tminra In inis connexion I stated further, as an nbstrart ,. . - - , : OW.T. .U sJfii .rhaAiatnV-nadno Constitution be fore) that wnue pPu"uu ------- representation in one branch at least of the law making Department. But making a Constitution ab initio or from the start, a new Constitution for a nw State, is a very different thing, in my judgment, from changing an old one already existing: existing ur.on compromises of sectional influences, and adjust- ments or antagonism: luiciraw, - ' - : ltL-o ths rVnatitiilton of North Carolina. Ana it was a toiai mi8Hia. uu misapprehension of my argument and opinions to suppose that I, at Wentworth or. elsewhere, evef ad- Tocated tbeaocirine oj cnangmg winjWi. yvW(,.w. ... r i 1 J ..7.-..'..f w In i ar.n .1. fiOM SO as 10 aOOllSnjeaerui uiui tuaaiuuf. ,,..... lation as the representative basis .' i nese were tne opinions that 1 expressed myself reaoy - w sunn up to and to swear oy ' n p uru.mu6 Constitution and the abandonment of its compro mises 1 was not proposing amendments to vour Constitution ; for as 1 saia in my primeu taurcw i the Whig Convention, in my judgment it is no part of a UOvernors amies or nKui iu re pose new Constitutions for the People." Yet I have no doubt that those who have given Certificates about mspeech understood me as tbey have stated and were honest in their convictions. But as I have already; iaid, either they drew infer ences not warranted by the argument, or my views were too ambiguously or obscurely expressed. And mir ntlpntion was drawn to the subject subse quently, that I had been so understood at Wentworth, . ,i ,;.,., inil hit true Tinfiition ex- 1 i3 prUIUpi' UIMIUITVU -- r 'Thlf 'sneech at Wentworth was made en the 29th of June.

This al legation was repeated by my opponent in onr public discussions at various Other place afterwards and always repudiated and disaffirmed by me, and on some oecasioas with surprise end warmth that he should persist in alluding to it after he had been so repeatedly disabused. These often repeated dis claimers too, it will be observed, were made in a part of the Stat where the doctrine is undersoood to be popular aud where it might have been received with great favor by those whom I addressed. On the 17th of July, when on the eve of leaving Morganton, I received iuforma'tiop, for the first time, that Circulars and Hand-bills had been sent into the Eastern part of the State, where this change in the Constitution is very unpopular, sta ting that I was advocating this doctrine in the West. The information given me was quite inde finite ; I had seen no newspapers ; no time nor place was particularised where such Bentiments had been expressed by ae, but the general idea merely was conveyed to my mind by the intelligence, that it was set forth and circulated in the East on the eve of the Election, when but little time was allowed for ex planation there, that I was conducting the campaign on Una issue ; that in other .touR I ba -m - for a and was travelling gtriflewest Orging it before the People. Uader the impulse arising from this gross injustice, I wrote short notes to the Editor of the Register and other Whig Papers in the State denouncing the charge as false. Having no time to write explanations,. I contented myself with a simple denial and requested a friend who had heard me at Wilkesboro', Lenoir and Morgan ton, to write to the Register and explaiu the mat ter. This he did on the 18th of July, and U was published on the 27th, in the Register, and fully sus tains what I here state. 1 knew that I was ndvoca- j ting no such doctrine and pronouueed the charge to be false. Every respectable man of both parties amone the thousands who heard me in the West from Salem to Cherokee, knows it to be false. They all know that I not only did not advocate the doc trine, but that on all occasions, when brought to my notice, I expressly repudiated nd disavowed it. In ray communications to the Presses( I had no re ference to the Certificate of Messrs. T. Ruffiu, Jr., and others, addressed to the Standard My com munication was written and dated 17lh July, nt Morganton.' Mr. Ruffin:s certificate is dated 16th July at Wentworth, the ''places being 150 miles apart, and appears for the first time in the Standard on the 20ih three days after the dale of my Commu nication and which in fact 1 never saw until after the close of the TJampaign on vreturn from Cherokee. Of course, I could have known nothing about it when I wrote and could not have referred to it. Whence then arises this question of veracity, and whence the necessity of Mr. Ruffin's "Card to the Public,'' to vindicate Lis certificate which'Lad no public exis tence at the time I wrote? That Messrs. Raffiu and others may have under stood me as taking the ground set forth in their Cer tificate, I have already admitted. But 1 Bay they were mistaken. Whether that was their fault or mine, I will not say. One word in conclusion. Their Certificate is dated the 16th July. My disclaimer ot the doctrines therein imputed to me Was made on the 3rd of July, and continually up to the 16:h. If at the date of their Certificate on the 16th, they were appriied of my disclaimer aud explanation, I leave it to their own sense of justice and fairness to decide, " (their pur pose in setting forth the certificate, being, as Mr. Ruffin says, in his Vara to the fublic,lo "meet and correct tne misrepresentations of a portion of the Whig Press,'') whether I ought not to have received at their hands, while volunteering to "set thing to rights," the benefit of my disclaimer and ei pin nation CHARLES MANLY.

Cotton had receded in price one eighth of a penny, and corn had slightly ad vanced. We observe no other change worthy of notice in our commercial advices. No political news having been yet tiansrnitled, we take it for granted that this steamer brings none that is of importance. CONGRESS. There was a spasmodic effort made to get the Senate bills before the House, on Monday, but it failed ; the Civil and Diplomatic Bill obtained the preference. An endeavor was made to bring forward a resolution for the adjournment ot Congress on the second Mon day in September, but it ended by an en deavor only. , The Senate had the fugitive Slave bill un der consideration the most of the day, but without Coming to any definite action upon it- On Tuesday, the Fugitive Slave bill was asain under consideration in the Senate. An amendment proposed by Mr. Pratt, giv ing the owner who may loose his Blave, fter using all the means provided to effect his recoverVi a remedy by suit against the Uni ted States, was debated. The House, in "Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, were engaged in the consideration of the Civil and Diploma tic Appropriation bill. Professor Webster's Family.

The great Southern Mass Meeting held here on Wednesday was but thinly attended. It was addressed by Rhett, Yancy, and oth ers, who contended for 36 30' or dissolution. Rhett advocated a temporary secession of the Southern States, and denounced Clay and the Adjustment in the bitterest lan-ua-e. The Resolutions passed were in the same spirit. They approve the action of the South ern Convention ; declare the admission of California, with her present Constitution, ground for separation ; ahirm that the spirit of the Constitution is violated and the rights of the South insulted which she should not submit to. The Resolutions also denounce President Fillmore's Texas message. Enthusiasm very moderate. It is thought here that the Georgia Senators will withdraw. The people disapprove their sentiments. C.

Cnairric Dear Sire You wish to suaew ef saw what has been the result in my own sase, of thi THE GALVANIC BELT AND NECKLACE. y iSM follows : - : For about twenty years I had been suffering free Pyspen ia. Every year the symptoms became worse, nor coand I obtain permanent relief from any course of medical treatment whatever. About fourteen years since, in consequence of frequent exposnra to the weeiher, in tha discharge of say yeav toral duties, I became subject to a severe Chronic Bheaa tism, which for year after year, caused me indaacvibebae anguish. Farther : in the winter of 'ti and '48, ia conseqaence of preaching a great deal ir my own sad varinns other churches in this region, I was attacked by the Pinadiiaaa. which soon became so severe as to require an immediate sus pension of ary pastoral labors. Afy nermt eyetem tea new thoroughly proitrated, and as my Bronchitis became woeae, so also did my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic affection thas erioeine; that these disorders were connected with each other thisagfc the medium of the Nervous System. Ia the whole phaisaase poeia there seemed to be no remedial agent which ewata reach and recuperate my Nervous System ; every thing that I had tried for this purpose had completely failed. At last -was led by my friends to examine your inventions, and (thoagh) with no very sanguine hopes of their efficiency,) I determine! to try the effect of the application of the GALVANIC BELT AND NECKLACE, with the MAGNETIC FLUID.
