THE PRESIDENCY. A good many
newspaper editors appear to think that
because the Whig iState Convention of
Pennsylvania ijdminated Gen. Scott or
rather recommended him to the whig par
ty for President of the U. States, that he
will he the whi candidate for President.
But it is alla mistake. The rea signs
are that Mr. Fillmore will be the whig
candidate. And he is unque&tionabjy the
most available man that party can put
up. We should fear to encounter him
more than any other whig. The demo
cratic party need not flatter themselves
that they will have Gen. Scott or Qanl.
Webster to beat. That would be an easy
victor;)'. Let them prepare fpr Mr Fiji

Mr. Editor: Almost every age or generation is
blessed with at least one mighty mind, one man of gi
gantic intellect and rare attainments, who towers aloft
above the common mass, as does the mighty forest tree
o'er the lowly bramble or surrounding shrubbery. Men
of ordinary minds may'gaie upon him, wonder and ad
mire, but dare not hope to soar to regions so remote, so
elevated, hard by the cojifines of human wisdom's ut
most verge, where intellectual powers are bounded, be
cause .for mere humanity there nought remains to be
acquired, for which science or philosophy has found a
name. There he, he alone, can bask on the sunny
banks and bathe in the clear streams of knowledge, un
annoyed, unapproached and unapproachable. And may
we not rejoice that even in our own age there wanteth
not such a one. Rome had her Caesar, France had her
Napoleon, America had her Washington, and North
Carolina has her D- Yes sir, even in our midst has one
arisen to whom the world no doubt e'erlong will owe a
debt of gratitude which millions cannot pay. In May
he commenced his career by wielding his mighty pen
iganiBt the Sons, and though June has scarcely closed,
yet he is descanting most learnedly.-on a " new dispen
sation," can tell the genius of animals by their foot
prints in the sand, and has discovered a monster of some
kind which has not only teeth, but also claws to bite
with.
tTd dispensation as jejnbracedjn the Scriptures df ihe
Old and New Testament, andf we claim the privilege of
" bejieving that the Scriptures contain a more aure jword
of. propheqy than the customs taught by the moat refin
ed old laxHfts that ever graeed our country. If, therefore,
there is a new dispensation, it.rnust have sprung ob up
on a different soil than that upon which the charge isl
laid, iiat if we are; mistaken in this opinion, w lay
ourselves open to conviction, and most earnestly request
D to adduce proof to the contrary. - If there is anything
immoral o unbecoming even the character of a chris
tian abstaining, himself, and persuading otmers to abstain
fm intoxicating liquors, we wish to know it.' If it is
immoral, unbecoming or fanatical to enticp the youth of
our countrjy away from rum-holes, doggejies and oard
tables, and mee with them once a weea, discuss; the
subject of temperance before them or join with them in
its discussion, and bold up to their view tlje sad conse
quences attending a' course of intemperanlce, we know
i not by jvhat rule it become so. And if tp accomplish
mis euu, we ciome ourselves in ncn regana oy wmcu we
inur the vast expense of twenty-five or fifty cents each
tojmake the order more imposing and attractive in its
appearanqe, we act -criminally, we wish to be apprised
ofthe faclj. Or if any thing connected with the princi
ples of the Order, has done, or is doing an' injury either
to Church; or State, we wish to know it. 'Or if the Or
der of the jSons of Temperance or the principles laid
down in tbeir Constitution and By-Laws are not as
strictly in (accordance with the principles of religion as
any other temperance organization in the Jnited States
ori any other country, we wish tohave tie difference
pointed oqt. We never did consider anj temperance
organization, per s'e a religious institution, though we
believed t in a certain sense to be aux liary to the
Church. We believe that many are now members of
the Church who would at this moment ha re been occu
pying a diunkard's grave had they not ben induced to
sign a temperance pledge. We do not hold that the
tetnperanee society ever regenerated any ne. But we
bejieve most sincerely that it has been the means of
keeping rpen sober, and while sober they ttended upon
the mean of grace and were prepared to hjear the truth,
(Which afman when drunk is not) and thatjtruth accom
panied to the heart and conscience by the j Holy Spirit,
proved effectual to their conversion. 1
When jD first opened his batteries upon the Order of
the Sons of Temperance, I supposed he intended by
profound reasoning and solid arguments o prove that
they were manifestly and radically wrong. I have been
waiting for the proofs but have found nothing but ireful
denunciation. He 6peaks of ascension robes, dull origi
nals, and pointless iarcatms, but carefully i avoids grap
piljng with the main question. Originals, even if they
are dull, are preferable to lofty flights or borrowed pin
ions. I admire originals, I would not exchange them
for borrowed ideas clothed in borrowed language, though
never so fine.
1) will henceforth please to "face the music" Let
hiiji tell why and wherefore the Sons deserve so much
denunciation, and prove if he can that thel advocacy of
total abstinence and infidelity are synonimious terms.
But there may be wisdom still in h:s remotej position from
the subject. He may have adopted the opinion that the
two extremes are nearest together and mujst alike. Or
he may have soared far out of sight of the! subject with
the design of darting down suddenly as the eagle upon
his prey,- and demolishing the whole Order root and
branch. 1 SOBRIETY.
Mr. Editor In reply to your remarks; of last week,
D desiref to say that it affords him no plfeasure to in
dulge in ipersonal allusions under any circumstances, but
a reference to his first communication andjthe attempt
ed replieb, he thinks will satisfy any candid mind that
in this regard those out of the "Order!' have been
" more sinned against than sinning." f
P hasj manifested no disposition to discuss Temper
ance: but has manifested a disposition to j:heck intem
perance whether exhibited in, or out of the " Order."
If the individual against whom you say ) "has fired
several rounds " is ambitious for a public discussion, he
can be gratified at some other time, or possibly on some
other subject. He may flesh his weapon! in an arena
better suited for the exhibition of his talents, and mare
in unison with D's taste and studies. Byj a public dis
cussion at this time, D would be revealed! and D knows
that the " tender sensibilities" of his " supposed oppo
nent" would be wounded to see him face! an open fire
in the front and be exposed also to a masked fire in the
rear. As Sir Lucius O'Trigger says : it is a mighty
pretty quarrel as it now stands ! D.

The jxew dispensation will first demand our attention.
Let us then compare it with the old, and see how far
they coincide. In the old dispensation we find this lan
guage : " Wo unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,
that putteth his bottle fo him," &c. In the new dis
pensation, as D terms it, men solemnly pledge their hon
or that they will neither drink themselves nor put the
bottle to their neighbpfs mouth. Again: in the same
good Hook which contains the old dispensation, and
which furnishes the only system of morality by which
the Sons of Temperance are governed, we find written :
" Wo to him that riseth up early in the morning that he
may follow strong drink."
In the' new dispensation we resolve that we will not
follow strong Irink at all, either early or late. Again it
is written: " Wo unto them that are mighty to drink
wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink."
Under the new dispensation, in order to escape the
denunciations of the old, we deem it most advisable and
safe to refrain from a trial of our strength at drinking
wine, and lest we should be convicted of guilt in the
mingling of strong drink we pledge our honor that we
wiH not use as a beverage either malt liquor, or cider ;
and if in this wc err, we think-we err on the safe side.
Hut, again we find it written, " Be not among wine
bibbers." This injunction we find it difficult to obey,
taken in ajitcral sf-nse, for we live among men who will
sometimes drink wine or something stronger, and pass
ing from place to place we may occasionally be thrown
into their company,' and what is worse, enveloped in the
odor6us fumes that accompany them. But we have
one retreat from the presence of the wine bibbers, more
secure than any other of which we have any knowl
edge, where we can take refuge once aweek or often
er, that is the Division Room.
Again it is written: " Look not upon the wine when
it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, for at last it
bitcth Hke a serpent and stingeth like an adder." We
find nothing in the pledge adapted bythe Sons of Tem
perance quite so stringent-as this injunction of the Bible,
for we may, without censure, look upon the wine,
though we may not drink it ourselves or give it to oth
ers. ""The only difference we have found thus" far in our
comparison between the old dispensation and the new,
is that the old is a little the sirongest, and yet we are
gravtly informed in relation to this very pledge which
does not go quite as fur as the Bible, against the use of
intoxicating liquors, and by the same person who stig
matizes the Temperance cause -with the name of the
new dispensation, that "The world js governed too
much." That our Order savors of infidelity, Jesuitism,
Roman Catholicism, and fanaticism, and that its tend
ency is to subvert the Church and Government. Per
haps if he would pull the beam out of his own eye he
might see clearly to pall the mote out of ours.
When we compare the principles of the Sons of Tem
perance with the Bible it is perfectly manifest that they
do not go too far, and that thf restrictions imposed up
on their appetites are not unnecessarily binding. If we
are warned against looking upon the wine lest we should
be tempted to partake of it ; jf we find wo upon wo de
nounced against the intemperate, and we heed those
warnings, and banish from us.all that can intoxicate, do
we deserve to be denounced as infidels and fanatics by
those who pursue an opposite course of conduct?
If our principles conbtitutea " mew dispensation,""
pray under what dispensation do, our enemies rally ? es
decially those who not only look upon the wine but n
dulge in strong drink? But D is opposed to questions,
and no doubt he has a perfect abhorrence to such a
question as this. But I must take the liberty to press
it, because I conceive it to be ptie of importance. He
professes to bo a defender of the Church, and' thinks, at j
least, if he does not say in so many words, that he is a
better theologfan than I am, (and truly he- may be, I
make no professions of skill or deep research on theolo
gical subjects, but I am willing for the world toJ judge
between us in this matter) then I ask him to come out
and prove from the Bible that his " dispensation is more
in accordance with the old one than ours. We are
charged with having set up a new svetem of morality.
We thinkwe can prove from the scriptures that we are
acting consistently with the injunctions thereof, in re
gard to the use of intoxicating liquors. And we do in
sist on him when he writes again to come out fairly and
candidly on this subject, and show us wherein we have
departed from the dictates of Divine Revelation, and
what "proof he ha that we have a new system of mor
als. We desireTight on the subject, for really if we are
wrong we wish to knowjt 'We believe that our prtn
ciples oa this subject accord with' the teachings of the

those who may prefer boarding themselves! good veg
etables supplied in the neighborhood plentiful arid cheap.
These Springs are situated in Patrick bounty, Va.,
seven miles northeast of the court house, between No
business and Bull mountains, one of the healthiest pla
ces -in the known world, and the mountainjscenery pos
sessing the romantic features which every Iwhere char
acterize the vicinity of the Blue Ridge. There are two
or three Mineral Springs near each other lately discov
ered, one of which is a very bold running fountain, and
several other fine cool freestone springs. -. '
The Mineral Water at this place is doubtless as good
Chalybeate Water as this or any other Stajte affords.
Itis specially recommended by physiciansifor the vari
ous diseases peculiar to females.
Terms of Boarding for man and horsei, per week,

rented for a shorter time than four weeks until after the
20th of August. 1 j

the Presbyterian Church, with which shje was connect
edlhat it has been deprived of a consistjenf and valued
member. Her piety was quiet and unobtrusive, best
known and most highly appreciated by those who were
most intimately acquainted with her. j It shone most
brightly in the faithful discharge of the duties of a wife,
a mother and a friend. T hough natural y timid, when
apprised of deaths approach, she manifested no alarm,
and was enabled calmly and peacefully tb submit to the
will of the Lord. A fond husband, two small children,
and an aged mother, are left to mourn for one, whose
loss to them, is indeed irreparable. Thjey have good
reason io believe that, what to them is kiss, is her eter

Telegraph Water Carrier!
THIS is a new and very useful invention for the
purpose of raising and conveying water eilher from
springs or wells, for domestic uses. It is also usetul for
raising ores from mines, or any similar purpose. It ac
complishes the same amount of labor in less than half
the time req'jired by any other machine, with half the
amount of labor. With this simple contrivance a buck
et can be sent to a spring at the distance of three hun
dred yards and returned with water in three minutes
time. It is simple in i is construction, durable, and not
easily to get out of repair,
The undersigned having purchased the patent right
for the counties of Rowan, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg,
in this State, will be pleased to sell individual rights to
such as may need them. Letters addressed to him at
