f ' tlj FOR THE TARBORO PUEaS. ilr. fliwr I rTccnthy saw an adver tisement, calKng on the Wings ot Edgc combe, and all those favorable to a reform ation of the abuses of the present Adminis tration, to meet at Armstrong s store. " that part of the advertisement which speaks of the reformation of abuses, &c. I consid ered myself invited, and '.ho whole of the patriotic thirteen hundred and ninety-two, who so nobly stood by the constitution on a recent occasion; also feeling confident that we more earnestly desire reformation than the party to which we are opposed in principle and practice. And as it was un fortunately out of my power to be present to witness the proceeding of that august j body, which doubtless assembled on the! occasion, ever lo be remembered, and fear-j ing that 1 was not therein correctly represen ted, I beg leave to ofiVr a scries of rcsolu-; tions, which most assuredly would have the effect to bring about that reformation so much desired by "Many Whigs," or by all true Republicans. 1 here beg leave to insert a short preamble, in words follow ing, to wit: That whereas we view with alarm the determination of the Federal-Bank-Abolition-Whigs of these United States, to run for the highest ofik-e within the gift of the people, the thrice-defoated Henry Clay,; the bare mention of whoso name should , quicken the blood and whiten the Hps ot ; every Southern citizen; beleiving that all; our agricultural distresses have in a great measure grown out of the surpluses which his "bale for bale taxation" accumulated, and which he only abandoned for a season on the eve of civil war, while the curse of endless ages for blasting the fiircst hopes of man was staring him in the face; nnd believing that should he be clecleu, innu merable evils together with those of which ap3rty among us railed Whigs 50 loudly complain (to their sh mie be it said,) would be poured out with a liberal h ind upon this (at present) prospjruus and happy Union; be it therefore Resolved, 1st, That we have increased confidence in the honesty and capability of MARTIN VAN BURKN, our present Chief Magistrate, and respectfully recom mend him to the consideration of the peo ple of these United States for re-election. 2nd. Resolved, that to bring about a re formation, &c. and to prevent further de falcations, that immediately on the silting of the next Congress, the Constitutional Treasury ought to become a law, thereby bringing about a divorce between Bank and government. 3rd. Resolved, That all Whigs who hold office under the present Administra tion, ought to be forthwith removed, there by preventing further S wart.vouting. "A house divided agdns; i self cannot stand. , r- i i rpi . ii , i 4th Resolved, Ihat all Scnatois and . . r r i . ! Members of Congress, who may at any! time hereafter be heard abusing the Admin- istration for extiavagunce, At r having vo- j ted for every bill pas d, calculated to op press the peopL, oigbt to be looked upon as vile slanderers and hypocrites, by honest men of all parlies. The Resolutions above cannot be objec ted to by any Republican, but they proba bly would not have met witii the approval ofthe meeting above allude I to, as the ob- present Mr. Fiber's politics as '-doubt-ject of "Many Whig-." was to lake into j fu!," nod others claim him as a Whig the consideration the representing the third Congressional District in a Convention to be held at llarrisburg the ensuing fall. I should suppose, Mr. Howard, that "Many Whigs" were Republicans, from their following the example of (he Republi cans who called the B dlimote Convention, which the Whig? so vehemently denounced. From the component pirts of the Whig party, (particularly among us,) I have come to the conclusion, that it must be that same old Hamilton Federal party in dis guise; for it is a fact, that the Federal party in general is composed of ihe two extremes cnnlnltr llir In i rrVwet n n i 1 h n Inwntt lnl r.L P.i r. i i ! 4-v -! Kn nnt :1ml IP fM IIP it 1 And I n : we not sec a continual absence of intimacy KWLJ VII um W'-n. v. ...... . it r ' among those who in common parlance arc called ""big folk.," and the producing clas ses of society. And then do we not sc3 a different class who secin to think it more honor to be spoken to or nodded at by their reverences r even to touch the hem of their garments, than to receive more fami liar civilities from common folks. Are they not awe-stricken at the approach of the Wealthy and the great, whilst they are insensible of the presence of the common man. This vassalage, this cringing, cannot pertain to an independent, a noble, a Re publican mind. 1 admit ihat our superi ors ought lo be re-ij.crte.l; but docs respect, and even reverence of superior excellency of character, imply a feeling of cringing vsssalage like thai I have described? IJesides i? there any superior excellency in the character of many of those who are thus bowed lo? Indeed, as lo many of them, if they were estimated by their intrinsic merit, by the intelligence of their minds. &c. would they not be lesy. Usan thousands of common men, at whose corning there is no cringing? If freemen in ;t f,ee country are willing to I ceo ne ih the pliant instruments, the pick horse , and hi lie r themselves hauled about and pressed into service against their previously expressed will and determination, they art: in no sense Republicans. Such a stale of things, Mr. Howard, I am sorry lo say doos exist anionic the Whig! federalists, and ought to be exposed, being averse in its tendencies to KPMl"nd equality. A DEMOCRAT. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1S3.0. Republican ( hmdidatc. roa pkeside.vt, MARTIX VAX BUKEX. CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. We learn from the Washington Whig, that on Thursday the 15th inst. the Sher iffs of the several counties composing the Third Congressional District, met in that town to compare the Polls. The official statement of the result of the election is as follows: Hall. Stanly. Edgecombe, 13.02 111 C36 901 5G0 402 4-18 305S 2553 Pitt, 571 378 S5 77 55 255S 1 5 ea u fort, Hyde, Washington, Tyrrell, Stanly's majority, 500 We subjoin the Congressional vote in this district in 1S37, that our readers may note the difference: L. D. Wilson. Stanly. Edgecombe, 1167 IS Pitt, 451 651 Hcau fort 317 S6S Hyde, 12(3 494 Wellington, 01 405 Tyrrell, 54 343 2176 2S42 2176 Stanly's majority, 666 Returns have been received from all the districts in the State, so far as to leave no doubt as to the members elect, which areas follows: Republicans. Federal Whigs. Jesse A. Bynum, Kenneth Rayner, Charles Shepard, Edward Stanly, James J. McKay, Edmund Deberry, Micajdi 1. Hawkins, James Graham, '"iii...iwni .nisi), Ukiiic i lilliutl J . ..... o Ji John I 1 1 1 1 , , ' 1 1 irrt mrri' 1 nine ' wCoM' J :icssr.. iJiii, . v isncr anu Kayner arc new members. Before the election Mr. Fisher was designated as the "sub trcasu- ry" candidate, while his competitor was called the ''Whig" candidate; but since" the-election, some of the Whig p.ipcrs re- fact is, he is a States Right Republican, and no doubt, will sustain the Administra tion on all prominent questions. We congratulate the Democracy cf this Stale and of the Union, on this auspicious result. At the last (lection the Federal Whigs succeeded in eight out of the thir teen Congressional districts in this State now they have succeeded only in five. The long agony is over, and Federalism is again prostrated; it may now doflf its Whig igaib and seek another cloak, another ap- pellation to beguile and mislead ihe honest i H and confiding yeomanry of the country. JlPThe returns from the elections in the West are mote favorable to the Demo cratic cause, than the most sanguine antici pated. In Tennessee, Mr. Polk is elected Governor by a majority of about 4000 over Mr. Cannon; and at least six out of the thirteen members of Congress elected are Republicans, being a gain of three mem bers. In Indiana, the parties are complete ly reversed in the last Congress, there were six Whigs to one Republican, now they have elected six Republicans to one Whig. The Democracy have also gained two members of Congress in Kentucky. And in Alabama also, there has been a con siderable gain. In short, it is very evi dent, that the days of Federal Whiggery are numbered, throughout the Union. gj53 Tire Washington Whig of Wednes day last, contains a long article purporting to bathe proceedings of a "Whig Meeting in Edgecombe," which is requested lo be inserted in this paper, as well as many oth crs. We presume we need as.-ign no bet ter reason for declining its publication, ihan the simple fact, that although the meeting was lield within a few mlel of this place, the proceedings were sent to an Office about fifty, miles distant, for publica tion. However, for the information of our readers we will state, that the meeting was held at Armstrong's Store, on the 10th jnst. was organized by the appointment of Dr. James Ji Philips, Chairman, and John F. Hughes, Esq. Secretary that Joseph R. Lloyd, Esq. explained the ob jects of the meeting that the Chair nomi nated Joseph R. Lloyd, Wright Edmon son, 14. Dorsey Battle, Thomas J. Burt, Willie Atkinson, and Joshua Wilkerson, ag a committee to draft resolutions that Mr. Lloyd reported resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, condemning the present administration, recommending Henry Clay as a candidate for the Presi dency hut expressing a determination to "support the man who shall be nominated by thewhigsat Harrisburg," recommen ding a Convention to be held at Washing ton, on the 31st October next, to appoint one or more delegates to represent this Congressional district in the Ilanisburg Convention, and that the Chairman appoint seven delegates to attend said district Con vention Whereupon the Chair appoint ed, as delegates from Edgecombe county, Hon. Richard Ilines, Richard Battle, Wright Edmonson, Dr. Josiah Lawrence, Willie Atkinson, 13. Dorsey Battle, and Dr. Lewis J. Dortch. Several other res olutions were pissed, complimentary to Mr. Stanly, the Chairman of the meeting, Secretary, &c. when the meeting adjourned. fTThe find in the Globe ihe following just and appropriate remarks, i elating to our recent Congressional elections: "For the third district, we will not undertake to speak with confidence, though from the high cinrae'er and sterling inhe rit v of the lu'nublieari candidate, Dr. Hall, a man of Macon Stamp, we should augur a lavorame result. lnis disinct was lately represented by Stanly, a pu nv pretender of the ranting school a poor imitator, in a small wav, of that mimic of John Randolph, the Hon. Hen ry A. Wise. Mr. Stanly's Federal con stituents may perhaps think him a pro minent man, from the chattering which he keeps up in the House. We assure them that both he and thyare much mistaken. A single grasshopper in a field, it has been observed, makes more noise than a hundred oxen which arc quietly grazing. We felt humiliated for North Carolina when we saw one of her representatives, prompted in the eyes of the whole House, by Slade, the Abo litionist." Rare Unanimity. In the county of Edgecombe, North Carolina, the Congres sional vote at the recent election stood: Hall, (Democrat,) 1390 Stanly, (Fed.) 109! This was certainly combing Fede ral Whigery with a pretty keen ede. Globe. North Carolina Election. The news from this State is cheering. The Hon. tj Jesse A. Dynum, against whom the Oppo sition directed all their strength during his long absence in Louisiana, (where he re cently married,) is re-elected by a quadru pled majority. It was reported that nc had abandoned North Carolina had domicilia ted himself in Louisiana, where he owned property, and upon the foundation of Ihee reports, and the lean majority of seventy obtained by him at the previous election, it was Confidently predicted by the Whig press every where that he would be distan ced; and lo! it is his old adversary, Mr. Long, who is left so far behind. It is not improbable that Mr Long will make long and short of it, by leaving the course to Mr. Bynum, uncontoted, for the lut ue. rso people ever had a more faith I mI Kep rescntative thati those of the Halifax Dis trict. Although in feeble health, Mr. 15y- num has maintained, with great ability ami spirit, in Congress, the principles of North Carolina. Tlu reviling press of Whigery has every where abused him lor asperity and violence in debate. They have done him injustice No man is more courteous or respectful to those who are respectful ind courteous themselves than Mr. liynum. We have never known him the aggies-or. Hut he is a high-sni-ited resolute man. who cannot brook the bullying system the Opposition, and he never fails to resent; the indecencies which are flung out by them against his parly in Congress, when ever by the generality of the terms, they are made to embrace him. He never Mts quiet under the reproaches of the bullying pnalanx. The Hon. Charles Shepard is elected in the Newbcrn district, to carry which the Opposition have made desperate efforts, and boasted of success in advance. They have denounced Mr. Shepard as a traitor, simply because he honestly redeemed his pledges to his Democratic constituents. Tbe Federalists expected he would betray the Democrats, because the Whigs voted for him He did not Choose to be grateful to them at the expense of his principles and pledges; and the Opposition, who voted for him before, resolved to punish him because J he wouid not play the false game tliey ex pected. The Democracy have nobly sus tained htm. by what majority we have not appertained. His election, we are inform ed by a letter, is certain. ib. Svjjerior Courts Fall Circuit. Edentnn, Judge Nsh.
