Appuoved, March 3d, 1S39. SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1839. (jy We would remind our readers, that Monday next is the time appointed for the assembling at Washington, of the Repub lican Convention for this Congressional district. We are pleased to see such a re solute and determined spirit manifesting itself the democracy appear to be anxious to merit success, if they cannot command it. The "crisis," so happily set forth by H. 1. Toole, Esq. at the Washington meet ing, demands the united ana vigorous ex ertions of those who still desire to main tain Jeffersonian Republican principles. (QWe stated in a late number of our paper that it had been intimated to us, that the "good reasons" which Mr. Stanly had promised to assign for his refusing to vote on the Atherton resolutions, werecontained in his controversy with Mr. Duncan. We understood it so at the time, and when we made the statement was not aware that Mr. Stanly had issued any Circular in re lation thereto, until we saw the following article in the R deign Standard. So soon as we can obtain a copy of the Circular re ferred to, we will endeavor to readers an idea of its contents. give pur CT Mr. StxVnlt, in his address r Washington City, to the third Congre?sion 1 District, uses ihe following words?

Then it must be the "whims' whose picture the Kepresen tative from the third Congressional Dis trint has thus faithfully drawn. A man'; unstudied pictures are often the best like nesses. Raleigh Standard. pThe Editor of the Washington Whig declines our proposition touching Mr. Dun can's reply to Mr. Stanly but instead of that, says he will publish next week his letter to the abolitionists of Ohio, -for the edification of his readers." We would assuredly "think the Editor of the tVhig is joking," did he appear to be in a joking humor. We have never read Mr. Dun can's letter, but in our humble opinion, his reply to Mr. Stanly, having a direct bear ing on the conduct of their Representative, would "edify" the readers of the Whig far more than his letter to the abolitionists. But while the Whig is sedulously engaged in selecting from other Whig papers, en comiums on Mr. Stanly's speech, we will assist him in procuring a moiety of Whig truth and candor, which by the by are scarce commodities where "democrats' are concerned, which we trust friend Ma chen will insert purely "for the edification of his readers." The Tuscaloosa Intelli gencer, a federal whig paper, has the fol lowing candid and just remarks on Mr. Stanly's speech: "We confess we do not admire this pro duction, which consists almost exclusively of the bitterest personal invective against Dr. Duncan, of Ohio. It is often exceed ingly coarse, and sometimes descends to the lowest scurrility. I o polished wit, reh ncd satire, chastened sarcasm, and dignified invective we shall never object; but we do protest against this degradation of the halls of Congress by mere personal abuse. Sudden and accidental Death. We learn that on Tuesday evening last, Mr. George Pollock came to his death in a ve ry sudden manner in Halifax county. He had left his carriage at one of his planta tions on the Roanoke, and had mounted a young horse for the purpose of riding ou'; in attempting to pass through the gate the horse became refractory, and on being struck by Mr. Pollock the horse reared up and fell back on him, crushing him in such a shocking manner as to cause almost in stantaneous death. The accident was wit nessed only by the little boy that opened the gate, who immediately gave the alarm. Mr. Pollock was quite an aged man, and one ot the wealthiest and most extensive andholders in the Southern country and was said to be the owner of 1500 slaves. le had never been married. fT" We learn from the Raleigh Standard that the Hon. David L. Swain has been placed at the head of the Fayetteville and Western Rail Road Company, at the re cent meeting of the Board of Internal Im provement, (jyriie Register states the annunciation is premature. Chinese Mulberry. The demand for this invaluable plant appears to be still on the increase. At a great sale recentlv held in New York, the Star states that the pri ces throughout were a full advance of 25 per cent. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle states that four trees, about five years old, were sold in that city, for $150 cash. We are told that the sales of Messrs. Collins & Petligre, of this State, this spring have amounted to about S75.000. A late Nor folk Herald has the following article in re lation thereto: On Friday last, the steamboat Alabama look up to Baltimore 22,000 mulberrv switches, (Morus Multicaulis) from six to eight feet in length,, the value of which, at the lowest calcination based UDon actual sales all through the country, cannot be less than forty-five thousand dollars. The number of eyes or buds, upon these 22,000 switches, is ascertained by carefully count ing tnem, to be two millions two hundred and fifty-four thousand, whieh, according to me prevailing prices, would be considered cheap at two to two and a half cents a piece. The whole were raised on fifteen acres of such land as would be considered well sold at ten dollars an acre in ordinary situations; and the cost of the cuttings, the expense of cultivation, packing, freight, and all else being added, the whole would probably not exceed one thousand dollars! Who would spin out his existence in fruitless search after the philosopher's stone and who would think himself rich wiih a gold mine on his estate, in view of an example like this? Tt,Pe valuable trees were the property! of Messrs. Collins and Pcttigrevv, two gen tlemen with princely estates, near ron ton, N. C, and were sent on to Baltimore in the care of an agent, to be there dispo sed of. They were packed up with great care in boxes containing, we should judge, about 250 trees in each. (TP We are gratified to perceive that the veteran ecuior oi me ihujhwh f(yu.iM hie exrjositor of ReDubli- can doctrines, has quoted in terms of just commendation, tnc speecn ox iir. i uu.c made at the Republican meeting in this .... i . i. 1 Town, and published in ine itepuoncan.

Swartwout. The New York Sunday Morning ews savs that "Mr. Swart wout, our late collector, invested nearly or quite all the amount of his defalcation to government in Texas lands, and that since his arrival in England he has effected a sale of those lands to a company of capitalists for about six millions three hundred thousand dollars." If this intelligence be correct, Samuel Swartwout may stand achance to be re- nomi nated for the Vice Presidency, by the New Light Whigs. Lincolnton Rep. (JTl)e Tuscumbia Alabamian states thai the United States Marshall for the Northern District of Mississippi, has made levies on S. Svvartwout's interest in eight hundred sections of Chickasaw lands. (fpThe new passenger car put upon the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road, lat week, is worthy of a passing notice, from its own beaut' and convenience, and irom the evidence it furnishes of the dispo sition of the Directors to gratify travellers in the most minute particulars. This car will scat about fifty passengers, is divided into two compartments, connected by a door, and is finished off in the most com fortable manner. There is now upon this end of the road, eight locomotives, in order for use. On the first of May another steamboat, the "Wilmington," is to be ready to take her place in the line between Wilmington and Charleston. We mention these things as proofs of the spirit and energy with which litis most important work has been press ed forward, and as giving earnest that pub lic expectation oi us tulure benefits, will not be disappointed. IVilmington Chronicle. Small Pox. For several weeks nasi, a disease, resembling the distinct small nox has prevailed in this place, to a limited ex V ... tent anu without and iatal or serious conse quences.

This difference vet exists, but we think it proper to state that an eruptive and contagious disease ol some Kind is among us, to the extent ot eight or ten caes. OSince the above was written, we have learned that in one case the disease has proved fatal. Mrs. Cumminns we are told, died ol it on Wednesday. ISewbern Spectator. Riddle and the Rank. Nicholas Bid- die, esq. has resigned the Presidency of the United Mates bank oi rennsvlvania. Tho mas Dunlap, has been unanimously ap pointed his successor. Mr. Biddle has held tus oflice for 20years,and been a devoted ser vant'to the interests of the aristocracy. Time will develope his claims-to the title of the "greatest financier of the ace," which has been bestowed upon him by the unmeaning nreaui oi party adulation. He has done more mischief than any man ofhis lime; not through extraordinary talents, but through the extraordinary moneyed means at his command; and whateverelsehis friends may claim for him, he will be known to pos terity as the great conspirator against public morals and the liberty ol his countrymen. Raleigh Standard. Fire and loss of Life. A correspondent of the Richmond Compiler writes from Nor- lolk, under date of the 4th inst. given in formation of the destruction of the new double brick tenement on High Street, Portsmouth, bythre. lhe printing office of the Portsmouth Times was entirely des troyed, as also the chief part of the contents of the post office and Mr. Anderson's Book Store. Adjoining the conflagrated build ing, on the east, was a large frame house, occupied by Mr. Thomas J. Godwin as a cabinet Manufactory and warehouse, from which nearly all the furniture had been removed, when the gable end and chimneys of the brick house fell upon it, breaking through the roof and upper floor. Mr. Godwin and several others were in the house at the time, and Mr. G. was buried and perished under the massof rubbish; Mr. Nichols and Mr. Brooks were both badly, though not dangerously hurt The death Of Mr. UOdWin IS a loss iu uie cuuimuiuiy, and is deeply deplored by his fellow-citizens. ib.
