(JThe Races over the Tarboro' Course,
near this town, took place this week, rar
ticularsin our next.
Burglary. On Saturday morning last,
Mr. James M. Redmond of this place,
discovered that his warehouse had been
broken open the preceding night, and a
barrel of brandy taken therefrom. The
robbers appear to have gone very deliberate
ly to work they broke the front door open,
rolled a barrel of whiskey near the door,
but left that and moved a barrel of rum;
this alsonotsuiting their delicate olfactories,
they hunted about and found a barrel of
brandy, which they bore off leaving neither
trace nor vestige of their course.
Stage Robbery. On the night of the 3d
Inst a trunk was taken from one of the Wil
mington stages near Rocky Mount; and on
the night of the 9th inst. another also dis
appeared. The trunks were said to con
tain wearing apparal, valued at 3 to 400
dolhrs, and the Agent of the Wilmington
Co. commenced a search, and found a large
portion of the clothing in the possession of
a man named William Price, who sometime
eince exhibited wax figures in this place,
&nd surrounding country he stated they
were brought there by a certain negro fel
low, and on searching his cabin, nearly
all the other articles were found: one of the
trunks had the hide taken off, and the other
beinga leathern one, had been burnt The
negro was severely whipped, but unluckily
Price gave them the slip and absconded.

FOn THE TAKBQKO' PRESl.
Agreeably to previous notice, a respecta

Court day, when, the meeting beins; C died

ton, Secretary.
At the request of the Chairman, the ob
ject of the meeting wis explained by Col.
Robt. C. Milliard, whereupon the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were adop
ted: Whereas, recent demonstrations of
public sentiment prove beyond question,
the increasing strength of the Democratic
Republican party, nr rather of those prin
ciples which distinguish it: and from eve
ry quarter of our country where a test has
been made, the truth of this assertion has
been fully verified, for in many instances
we have completely overwhelmed our op
ponents, which is attributable principally
to the wise and energetic administration
of our Government to MARTIN VAN
BUREN then, as our Republican Presi
dent, we owe much; aid having full confi
dence in his capacity and integrity, and
knowing his settled determination to pro
mote Southern interests, and his long and
fond support of Republican principles,
Be it therefore resolved, That we will
use all honorable means to re-elect him
President of these Uni'ed States.
Resolved, That we believe in the abso
lute necesiiy of an entire supination of
Bank and St ate, and in th expediency and
Constitutionality of the much abused and
misunderstood Independent Treasury
and that we will sustain to the extent of
our ability the Executive in his efforts to

JAMES S. BATTLE, Ch'n.

"Whig" Co?ivcnt ion. The Federal
Whig Convention met in this city on the
12th inst. The labors of this body resulted
in the nomination of John M. Morehead
of Guilford, as the Federal Candidate for
Governor: Henrv Clav of Kentucky for
President, and-Nathaniel P. Tallmadge, of
New York, for Vice President, some little
objection was made to the last nomination,
but the whole dose was finally swallowed.
We may probably give the matters and
things connected with this Convention a
further notice. Raleigh Si and.
Election in Massachusetts. We
congratulate the Democracy of the Country
on the result of the election in Massachu
setts. It is admitted by the Federal pa
pers in Boston that Morton, the Democra
tic Republican candidate is elected, or that
there is no choice. There is certainly a
gain of ten thousand voles to the Democ
ratic side, and we have but little doubt
that Morton is elected by 7 or 800 ma
jonty
As usual the "whigs" find a variety of
causes for this result, always dodging the
true one viz., the voice of the people in
favor of the Independent Treasury. ib.
New York. The election in New Yck
has resulted in the triumph of the combi
ned factions of Federalism, Aboliti mism,
and Conservatism. There is a "whig"
majority of 6 or 8 in the Senate, and of S
in the Home. But it should be remem
bered, that the Democratic Republican
cause is steadily advancing in that State.
In 1837, the Federal majority was from
16,000 to 18,000. Latyear it was 10,000
and it now falls short of 3,000. The
Democrats have 60 members in the popu
lar branch of the LegNla'ure, where they
had, la-t year, but 46. So far from being
discouraged, therefore, we have every
reason to rejoice at the prospect before us
in New York, which will certainly cast
its electoral Vote for Mr. Van Buren. ib.
(f"JR ma'king on thz aspect cf the re
turns from the New York elections, the
Richmond Enquirer of 12th inst. sjys:
It shows that the popular masority thro'
the State is on the side of the friends of
ihe administration. In every Congression
al District where we carried fast Fall our 1.9
members of Congress, the voice of the peo
ple has confirmed their former vote and
the majorities of the People would have
superceded five of the Whig members
thus giving 24 members out of 40.
With these developments Mr. Van Bu
ren is sure of the vote of his native Stale
in 1840 I his election has even given us
the popular majority in the State but we
have gone into this election under Very se
rious disadvantages. 1 he ultra doctrines
put forth by a few of the Demoer ttic party,
the ar fil use which was made ol them by
the Whigs in the interior; the slang which
they thus got up against the whole Democ
ratic party, that they were determined to
put down every Bank, (which is not the
fact) and to arrest all Internal Improve
men's, (which is also false) the artlul use
made of the devices at a time when
some of the counties are anxious to enlarge
the great Canal, & when a great Railroad
is projected which .is to run through some
of the most populous counties of the State,
is it wonderful that the poll for the Itepub
lican members of the Legislature should
fall short of the actual strength of Mr.;Van
Buren?
From the Edenton Gazette.
(3 Thomas Ritchie. The veteran
editor of the Richmond Enquirer has been
nominated by a writer in the Globe as a
candidate for the office of Governor of Vir
ginia, A better selection could not be
made from the Democratic ranks, but the
nominee declines the honor. The follow
ing are his views on the subject ta
ken from the Enquirer of the 12th inst.

To wonder thai the blue l'gt or f- derai
organ should s-lect fr the choicest epithets
this detachment ot the great party whicn
now holds the ascendancy in the metrop
olis. The origin of the title explains all.
The New Era says:
kThe idea rose from the historical fad,
that theAmericans underthe bravo & gallant
Gen. Warren, drove the British ;t liunkerV
Hill from their breastwork with the buitcnd
of their muskets. As our fort fathers then
nobly repulsed the common foe, so will
their children now drive from the bul
warks of liberty their sworn and deadly
enemies the Federalists."

(yit having been made known to tho
War Department that some per-ons were
about to take a number of Indians, of the
Fox and Sac tribes to Europe, with a view
to their exhibition for gain, the President,
as the legal guardian of the Indians, has
directed such measures to be taken as will
prevent their being carried abroad. We
approbate the interference of the executive
in the busine-s, and sinceiely hope that
no more such "speculations" will be per
mitted. Wilmington Lhron.

Revivals. We take great pleasure in
stating to the Christian world, that th'Me is
in this county at the present time, a greater
excitement in favor of Christianity, than
it has ever before been our privilege to
witness. In the county, within the Lsi
two or three months, to our own knowledge
about 260 individuals have made a pro
fession of Religion; while many more seem
to be diligently seeking the blessed
Saviour.
It is due to the Methodist Ministers to
state, that it has been mainly through iluir
exertions that this goo I ws wrought

A ptrfct cure of Jlsthrna. fifty four years
standing, effected by the treatment of Ur
Win. Evans. This is to rrriify, that I was
iltacked with the Asthma in the ninth year
of my age, and from thai lime until the pi e
sent year, a period of fifty four years, I have
been subject to that disease. For the last
five years, 1 had it almost incessantly noi
being exempt from it more than twenty
four hours at any one time. 1 had con
sulted the most skilful physicians, and tried
many remedies without any relief. In
June last, I commenced using Dr. Wm.
Evarts1 Vegetable Medicine, 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 nbiuiuiiig
momentary relief. Before I bad used two
package!, t was entirety relieved; and t
have not been attacked with it since. 1
can now say that 1 am permanently cured
f ihe disease, and I can connnemry ir

this distressing complain! nwmn,

npiJESE works have been public,,, 1 by
us lor seven years. There are umv
ui'oe subscribers for then), prob.ibiy,
th;m lor iiny other paper published in the
United States; certainly more ihnu ihie
are for any othei paper published in t)is
D strict. Tins large and increasing satj
s riptiou is conclusive evidence of thtir
usefulness. They are invaluable to all
who feel an interest in the proceedings of
Congress. No other publication gives
them so full, nor half so rhe,tp. Ii is, in
deed, the cheapest publication in the Uni
ted Slates perhaps in the world. Our
position at the seal of Government enables
us to print them at so low a rate. We
:ire compelled to publish the proceed
ings of Congress in detail, for our daily
paper. This done it requires compara
tively, but a small additional expense to
change them to the forms of the Congres
sional Globe and Appendix. If it were
not for these circumstances, we could not
publish them for four times the sum char
ged. In some parts of the United States,
the while pnper, upon which these works
are printed, would sell for as much as we
charge for ihe publications.
The approaching session of Congress
will probably continue seven months; as it
immediately precedes the Presidential elec
tion, all the prominent political questions
which divide the country, will, no doubt,
he ful'y discussed. These considerations
induce us lo believe ihal ihe Congression
i Globe will make five hundred, and the
Appendix, between six and seven hundred
oyal q'iat to p.igrs
The Congressional Globe is marie up of
die daily proceediugs of I lie two bouses f
Congress, and the spp dies . f ihe meniln rs
ondened. The yeas and nays on all
impoiiant subjects are given. Il is pub
lished weekly, wilh small type, on sixteen
roy.d quarto pages.
The Appendix c ntains the speeches of
the members al full length, written out by
t e nsehes, and is printed in the same form
a- ihe Congressional Globe. It is pub
lished as fast as the speeches can be pre
pired. Usually there are mme numbers
piinted for a session than there are weeks
in it.
Each of these works is complete in itself,
lint it i desuable for every suhrriber to
