SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1339. Republican ( Candidate. FOR PRESIDENT, MARTIX VAX BUREN. (fjThe Washington Whig of last week Contains the "Remarks of Mr. Stanly, to his constituents on comparing the polls in Washington, August 15, 1S39." The con test is decided for the present, and we feel no disposition to prolong the controver sy; but the second paragraph of these re marks vc feel It a duty to notice, as it touches a question of veracity, which is now transferred from the Editor of the Whig to Mr. Stanly, and lies between him and one of the "gallant band" of this county. Mr. Stanly observed! "Now, since grim-visaged war ha smoothed his "wrinkled front," now, if ever, I might use the language falsely im puted to me, and say, "I come as a Con queror." But no: 1 come here with no such spirit. If I ever used any terms re sembling these, they were intended as an expression of independent feeling to a par ty of self-styled "whcelhdrses," while I tvas addressing a crowd of strangers when I was frequently and uncourlcously inter rupted." It will be recollected by our readers, that in remarking on Mr. Stanly's speech in this place at May Court last, we stated that he said, "I come not here as a supplicant, but in the spirit of a conqueror" and that the Editor of the Whig denied, upon au thority from this county that Mr. Stanly used any such expression. We replied that the identical words were given upon Whig authority still it was denied. We then procured the certificate of Mr. D. Battle stating that "the only material dif ference in our extract as published, was in the word hnore? in the spirit of conqueror than as a supplicant.' " Here the matter rested, until it was revived by Mr. Stanly in the above remarks. Mr. Battle also stated in his letter, that he wished Us and our readers to understand that Mr. Stanly, himself, &c. were not "afraid or ashamed of the truth the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" the above extract must convince Mr. Battle, we presume, that this remark will not apply to Mr. Stanly, or he would not thus publicly say he was "false ly" charged witli using an expression made in the hearing of some fifteen or twenty of his own partisans, as well as perhaps a hun dred others. We will also briefly notice another ex pression in the above paragraph, which ex hibits in glowing colors the recklessness with which Mr. Stanly wages party war fare. He charges the Democracy of this county with being "self styled wheel horses." Can any person believe that Mr. Stanly is ignorant of the fact, that this term was first applied to his opponent at the De mocratic meeting in Washington, which nominated him and that it was subse quently liberally and sneeringly applied to the Democracy of this county by the Whig press at Washington? But we will dis miss the subject, with another extract from Mr. Stanly's remarks, the principal part of which we fully concur in, viz: "To prevent misapprehension, I repeat, I ardently hope that the situation of affairs may be such, after the present term, as to allow me to retire. I confidently believe there are many more able to represent you with advantage to you and credit to them selves than I am. I refer to this because I have been already misrepresented on ihe subject. I repeat, therefore, the same con siderations of duty which prompted me to enter the lists, forbid my saying I cannot again be a candidate." the Bar were arcat. Washington, bound to Boston, vessel and cargo total loss, and Capt. Bartimeus Wil liams drowned. Schrs. Thomas Wynns, Melissa, Orion, Henry Batcman, and se veral lighters, all of Washington, were more or less injured besides a number of other vessels from different places. (Jj33 We 'invite attention to the "New- Prospectus of the Republican," published at Washington. The Republican is con ducted with spirit and ability, and we should much rearet its discontinuance- subscriptions to it will be received with pleasure at this office. (JJThe Warrenton Reporter says: "The advertisement in our last, offering to give a dollar a piece for one hundred thousand of the Morus Multicaulis trees, has turned out to be a complete hoax." The following is taken from the last JA few skeins of sewing silk, manu factured in Pitt count-, were recently pre sented to us by Mr. J. Atkinson. They arc pronounced by competent judges to be equal if not superior tc the best imported sowing silk. They can be seen at this of fice Raleigh Register: Domestic Silk. The handsomest speci men of domesiic sewing silk we have yet seen, is now before us, made by Miss Mary White, of Pitt county, in this State. It was reeled on Gay's silk machine, and is her first effort with it. We are glad to learn that, in Pitt, they arc going thorough ly and permanently into the silk business.

We feel confident that the sentimerits ex nresed by the Argus will find favor with the Democratic ttepuuiicaus ui xunu vu olinai ib. II nig Arithmetic. The Raleigh Re gister labors hard to show that the five Federalists elected to Congress received more voles that the eight Democratic mem bers, and no doubt proves the thing to the entire satisfaction of all its whig readers, as the h,ditor felicitates himself on there be ing a sound Clay majority in the State. We can't sec how the sum works no how you can fix it, but as the Register has a new method of casting up, we let the thing pass with the remark that those who are beaten have a right, to" console themselves in anv way they think proper. Some folks can calculate as well as ethers, however, and we give the other side of the picture. n . . r j reucrui maj Democratic maj. 2d District 306 4th " 5lh " Gth " Sth 9th 10th " 11th " 1st District 62G 715 2035 1625 353 47 1S3 537 5S01 3675 3d 7th 12th 13lh a say 500 S9G 1500 153 36 i O Dreadful Storm on the Coast.

In Hyde county, the crops of corn and fodder were materially injured by the wind, rain and tide the tide being higher than had been experienced for a number of years. On Portsmouth, Mr. Rumley's store was swept away and goods lost; also the store of Dr. Samuel Dudley was totally destroyed, and all bis goods, including Ids books, were lost.

Edcnton Gazette. THE PRESIDENCY. The followers of Henry Clay have been showing him off to the best advantage, du ring his electioneering campaign. Commit tees meet him a't some distance from the Atlantic cities, and all the "pomp and cir cumstance," in any way 'available,' are put in requisition to bolster up the falling fortunes and degraded fame of the celebra ted Candidate. It is all to no purpose. Mr. Van Buren will most certainly be elec ted, and by a majority the counterpart of tliat winch brought the illustrious Jefferson the second time into the Presidential Chair. The following statement is given in the Al bany Argus, as the probable result. We think our prospects are, at least, as fair as the table indicates; Rhode Island. Joseph L. Tillinghast and W. B. Cranston, the Federal Members of Congress, are re-elected in Rhode Island. There is a great Democratic Republican gain in this State. In 1836 Cranston and Tillinghast had a majority of 1020 over Pcarse and Howard; at mis election men average majority is about 300. ib. fCjThe yellow fever is said to prevail to a very alarming extent in Augusta Georgia. A letter from that city dated August 29th, published in the Charleston Courier says "Our city, is in a great state of excitement and alarm. There were 14 deaths last week; and there are now 120 cases of fever-a good many of whom can not live. I shall leave this evening, for the sand hills, to sleep at night and hope that I shall escape. Some of our most respecta ble citizens have had it some have died. Every one that can leave is preparing to do so. ib. Murder.

It grieves Us to announce the decease of Mr. Judah Delano, Printer, lately and for a number of years a worthy arid respected resident of this city. He had been long employed in the establishment of Gales & Sealon as a proof-reader, ark occupation for which he was eminently qualified. That employment having ceased for the present he accepted, two short months ago, an in vitation to establish a newspaper at Eden ton, in theStatcof North Carolina, in which occupation, as publisher of "ihe Albe marle Sentinel," he had been engaged little more than six weeks when he was attack ed by bilious fever, which eventuated, in his death at 5 o clock on Monday last, the 19th instant. Mr. Delano was a native of the State of Maine, was 48 years of age, and has lelt an amicted wife and lamily of chil dren (now at Edenton) to mourn a loss in which many friends here sincerely sympa thize with them.AW.

Although Cotton had advanced and the sales had been large from the middle of July to the first of August) yet the manu facturers seem not lo have partaken to the full extent in the improvement, and there can be no permanent favorable change in which they do riot share The Bank of England seems to have been reduced to almost utter imbecility, and, according to the Loudon Times ol July 30th, had failed in two attempts to negotiate a loan of specie in Paris. We know not how much dependence is to be placed itt the announcement in the London bauher's circular, of one day later, that the loan had been effected; at all events, the Londoners were in no small indigna tion at the reported failure. It is a warn ing to the parisites of paper money govern ment, which they would do well not to for get in their next effusions on the superior! ly df "promises to pay?' over every other sort of money. Here is the great Baby lon of banking, with the whole currency of Great Britain resting on her, reduced to the verge of bankruptcy for want of some thing better than paper.

Polk and the oflice of Vice Presi dent of the United States: "Considera tions of mere gratitude are deemed, except when all other things are equal, of secon dary moment in the important question of ihe most practical policy to be abontcd by the Republican Party, in the choice of a candidate for the Vice Presidency; but, when by consulting our feelings in this Monty and the Markets. The New York Express of Saturday last states, that "The laat advices frorri England have ten ded greatly to depress all moneyed opera tions of the City. Stocks have all fallen off. The shipments and drawing of 'specie from one bank to another have kept Wall street in a perfect state of excitement. In the laceof these embarrassments there are some bright spots. Our city is filled with stran gers, our Hotels never more crowded. The fall business has commenced with great vigor already Pearl and other business streets present grdat activity. The crops it is admitted on all hands are most abun dant. The great staples of the country are fast coming to market. It is neither im possible nor improbable that a more favor able change in the condition of things may be near at hand." COMMUNICATED.

On the second Saturday in September next, lidder fl. M. Urdig is by appoint ment to preach Iri the Baptist church in Tarboro'. It is expected that the Baptist church in Tarboro will engage his services as pastor for the ensuing yeah Dreadful. A letter from Arkansas to the New Orleans Commercial Bulletin, da ted July 31, states that Rlchniond, Turner and Barnes three of the murderers of the Wright family, in Washington co. in that State, were hung at Cane Hill, about eight miles from the Cherokee nation. They had been formally tried and acquitted for want of evidence, but since then taken up, and before a jury of 3"0 men found guilty of the murder of Wright and his family, and burning the house and the mutilated remains of this unfortunate family in the house. Several others had been ordered to quit the country, or they would be ser ved in a similar manner. TVashingtotii August 27th.

This is to cenify, that I was attacked with the Asthma in the ninth year of my age, and from that time until the pre sent year, a period of fifty four years, 1 have been subject to that disease For the last five years, 1 had it almost incessantly not being exempt from it more than tvventv four hours at any one time. 1 hajd con sulted the most skilful physicians, and tried many remedies without any relief. In June last, I commenced using Dr. Wm. Evans' Vegetable Medicine4 not with the expectation of effecting a cure, for I be lieved my case hopeless and my dissolu tion near, but with the hope of obtaining momentary relief. Before I had used lw packages, 1 was entirely rellevedj and I have not been attacked with It since 1 can now say that t am permanently cured of the disease, and I can confidently re commend it to all who are afflicted with this distressing complaint SARAH SIMMONS.

It is important that a Republican press should be sustained at this place. It is pe culiarly important to the Republican par ty of this Congressional District. This tow n is about the centre of the District. The importance of the press may safely be inferred from the malignant and bitter persecution we have received from the Whigs for our effort to establish it. h is important to the whole Republican party of North Carolina, that this press should be sustained. There is no other Republi can paper published in a circuit of 50 miles; and if we except the TarbonV 'Press,' there is none within 75 milrs There is no Republican paper published in the Newbern District. We are thankful to our liieuds in that District for the aid we have already received in extending our circulation, and hope they will help us still farther. The name of our paper indicates its character. It is a warm advocate of the old Jefiersonian docilities as set forth in the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 179S. It is the unsparing foe of monopo ly. It wages no half-way opposition, but 'war to the knife and the knife to the hill." We will not compromise on this point: interests may be compromised, hut principles :iever. In the rontrst now go ing on between the money power and pop ular liberty, it w ill be found as heretofore a zealous, and we hope, an efficient advo cate of the rights of the people. It will advocate free trade and t'e rights of labor, and oppose the union of Bank and tnU as not less corrupting than the union of Chunk and State. Ii supports the pre sent Administration, and will continue to do so as long as the Government is admi nistered on sound Republican and Slate Rights doctrines. All sertaiiau and irreligious matter will be carefully excluded frum the columns of "The Republican." Our paper is published i t the midst of constant personal dani:'i; in fact we aie almost weekly the subject of psrsunal as sault.
