General Sc6i iadividualtV is entitled to tbe

lion ot Mr. Ftltmore'e Cabinet, be elected his
personal influence to'the ufmost to rffct the
passage of the Compromise measures." Two
monihs have passed by and ibis declaration
bas not been contradicted, and wilt not be.
Mr. Cabell, at ibe same time,, said that it was
"almost if not entirely too late for this gallant
soldier to do himself justice1,; lb extricate him

of designing men have inveigled him by

I quote Mr. CaleHYpeecb to show that Gen.
Scon4 piiiious were1 well known and never
were concealed and that I may say, at the
time the speech was made, I told Mr. Cabell I
Iboughl he was wrong in saving it was neces.

bad declaied that he was "entitled to tbe sup.

sevefargeiitlemdn thai 1 tho.i-jht Mr; Qall was
mistaken in the opinions he expressed of the
prohabiliiy of General! S ott;'s receiving electo
ral vote oi Southern States ; thai Mr. Cabell's
Cnaritciei wasep favorably known tomy consiit.
ueutsy i thought jib ejr could rust General 8 oti
when Mr. C. declared he was entitled lo "the
upport of all Compromise jmen ;? and that J
thought, where I was kiiown, I ould tell what
I knew of Geneial Pott's opinions j and l ilat.
teied myself 1 would be believed.
The people off Nortjh Carolina want a man
whoe opinions are known, ho is worthy of
confidence, in all the relations of life of tried
patriotism and unsuspected integrity. They do
not want a man jwbo wriies leUers; and makes
pledget jut before an election letters that
would; require personal explanations every ten
days Ui enable the country to understand them.
ii it u um iricK, oy, wnicn i oo not imenaio
e aiarmbd, to excite prejudice against one who
may be nominated bjf ihe Whigs, to charge him
wnn wanioi noeiijy lo southern interests. Mr.
Cluy General Harrison, General Taylor, Mr.
r illmore, Mr. Webster, and Gen. Scott, have
all been brought forward as candidates for tbe
Presidency. So it will be, no matter who is
nomitiaied. J !
No candidate for the Piiesidencr is to be
blamed because! unworthy oien may try to get
into power by supporting htm, unless he solicits
iheirsupport or tries to conciliate them. The
Abolitionists Cleveland, Pri'sinn. King, and
Kantoui voted for Mr. Speaker Boyd, Could
anything be moire unjust ibajn to say Mr. Boyd
was not worthy the eonhdence of bouthern men
because of their support?
In Ibe ' Annual report of jibe Massachusetts
Ami Slavery Scietv, by its board 6l managers,
January, 1852," page 8, occurs this passage :
I he opening of the thirty' second Congress
has nbt been auspicious to the pacific hopes of
the Cctmpromise. At the preliminary caucus
of tbe Democratic party, now largely in the as
cendant, an attempt was made to endorse the
Compromise measures, and to pledge the party
to their maintenance,; The drift of the propo
sition was discerned, and ihei party declined ma.

and dividing the spoils of oflice, nW almost
within their grasp, with ibetr antagonists. 1 be
Democrats were wet) content to allow tbe
Whigs to do the servile worlc necessary to pac

Local Election $ Great Riot at Stl iluis.
St. Louts. Afhil 6. The returns on the
election held in this city yesterday for
corporation officers indicate, as far ai re
ceived, the election of the Whig ticket.
with hut three exceptions. The First
Ward returns have not yet been received.
Mayor Kennett, has been re elected by
from six to seven hundred majority, j
A most disgraceful riot occurred in the
First Ward last night, which, we. regret
to add, resulted in tbe death of six persons,
and the wounding of some five or six oth
ers seriously.
After the-polls had closed, and whilst a
crowd of the friends of the successful
candidates were passing Wreckmeyer's
tavern, a German coffee bouse, at lhe (cor
ner of Seventh street and Park avenue,
five or six guns were fired upon the rnul
titude, fatally wounding six persons, who
died in a short time thereafter, Several
others were carried off severely wounded.
The excitement occasioned by the outrage
was. of course, most intense, and the in
furiated crowd rushed into the bouse and
completely demolished its contents, and
then set fire to the building. Two o her
buildings adjoining, inhabited by Germans,
were also fired and destroyed by the mob.
The crowd were again fired upori at
the corner of Park and Carondelet ave
nues, and a member of the St Louisjfire
company was mortally wounded. The
house from which the shot had been tfred
was immediately riddled, and the crowd
pursued their way uptown and dispersed.
Later at night a crowd collected around
the office of ihe ; 44 Anzeager Die Wes
tern," tbe German newspaper, when! the
military was ordered out by the Mayor,
and. having mustered in force aroundj the
block in which the office was situated,
kept the crowd at a distance throughout
the night. Tbe office appeared to be de
serted, the proprietors having probably
anticipated an attack. The city is how
perfectly quiet, and order appears t be
restored. y - j
THE PRESS.
The Richmond Examiner, speaking of the
common notion that everybody has a right to
publish what he pleases, at the publisher's ex
pense and not his own, says, very forcibly :
The press is only free to its editors, and to
those whom its editors believe to have gjood
ground for addressing lhe public, and something
to say which the public has ah interest in hear
ing. We would recommend those who labor
under this mistake to consider tbe following fact
that newspapers are made (or the large class
who read, and not lor the small class whojwjant
to write. The idea that when a man subscribes
to a newspaper, he lays its proprietors lander
some undehnable obligation, or that he Has a
right to publish his compositions therein, with
lhe single proviso that they hall be inoffensive
is a popular fancy and most ridiculous mistake
which ought to be corrected. Not only has be
no such right, but the editor who permits him
to put uninteresting matter in his columns in
(rinses upon the rights of four or five thousand
other people to gratify one individual. Very
lew editors act so absurdly.

In the Connecticut election whicli t

lion was a principal element. Th V
party, as it almost uniformly is, unft r:
ately, whenever an ism appears iri th

law;" its candidates gene" Wily were ;
licly pledged to its enactment. Th z
suit will oe seen in the. returns.

A LUSUS NATUUiE.
We saw last week in the possession; of
a Mr. Hampton Huntly, of Union County
a strange phenomenon in the human lorm.
It was horn of a Negrbe woman, the ilive
of aMrs. Barrolt, who lives on Jones'
Creek, in Anson County. It is a male,
fourteen years of age is thirty-sever! iind
a half inches in height, and weighs twenty-seven
pounds. His height is more than
proportionate to his limbs. His head is
small in proportion to his face, and j re
cedes to a point, much after the mHnner
of a small ended egg. He has no irtelli
gence more than what is common to the
brute creation cannot speak a word, yet
will recognise the call of his name, which
is Squire." Walks on his hands and fjeet
like a quadruped, sits likea tailor.) nnd
when he sleeps sits in this amn position
with bis head in his lap. H lives on the
ordinary human diet, but has to be fed
like a child. He is upon the whule.'a re
markable, curiosity. His owner intends
exhibiting him in the Southern and jWjes
tern States. He will then sell him tot Bar-
num N. C. Whig.
