SATURDAY DECEMBER 7, 1839. Republican Candidate rOR PRESIDENT, MARTIX VAX BCRFX -1 conducive lo Ihe interest ami wellareoi mt State. But it is believed, that among the gentlemen who have been spoken of, there are some who will not go down with the Democracy of the State. The people the honest people will not take any man who may nominally call himself a Republi can, (witnessthe nomination of Ex-governor Branch.) Then as to the just merits and qualifica tions of each of the gentlemen spoken oi. And first, Judge Saunders is no doubt eminently qualified, and would perhaps fill the office of Governor with dignity; but a doubt arises, whether Republicans will vote him in. The next spoken of, is Sudden Death. On Thursday last, an Inquest was held in this place over the body of Joshua Spain, the stags driver between this place and Enfield. The ver dict of the Jury V3S, that he came to his death from the kick of a horse in the stable lot of Mrs. Greffofv. It anneared fiom - o j ii the evidence that Mr. Spain had taken his horses into the lot for the ouroose of cleaning them; and while so doing, he was kicked in the abdomen by one of the horses. He complained of being badly hurt, and nn hninT asked if a doctor should be sent for, he said no, it is not worth while. He ap peared to be in great agony, and on being conducted to the house repeatedly ob served, let me lay down and die. He only lived about half an hour after receiving the kick. No scar nor bruise appeared on the body. Mr. Spain was a young m.m.about 19 or 20 years of age, and had won the esteem of all his acquaintances, by his peaceable and orderly conduct, and his kind and ob liging manners. lie was raised in Pitt county, where his relatives reside. jQThe Washington Republican of Tuesday last, appears dressed in mourning for the death of its Editor, George Hous ton, Sen'r, who died in that place on the preceding Thursday, aged abo rt 73 years lie had been Editor of the Republican for about ten months past,nnd acquitted himself of the arduous duties of that station with a zeal and ability rarely equalled. The publication of the paper, it is said. will not be discontinued or even suspended. that worthy and talented gentleman, Wm H. Havword. Jun. Esn. of Raleieh; he J - - - 7 I nerhans would likewise fill the office with i i ... dignity, but would his nomination be ac ceptable? Mr. Henry, Gen. Blount, and Mr. Connor, have also been spoken of; but neither of those gentlemen would probably receive the popular vote. Then the question arises, who the wri ter of this article would choose? In can dor and sincerity, WELDON N. ED WARDS, of Warren county, it is believed should be the nominee. As to his abil ity, there can be no doubt; as to his qual ifications, there can be no doubt; as to his firm and unwavering Republican princi ples, there can he no doubt; as to his ex perience, there can be no doub'; and as to his honest and upright character, there can be no doubt. But it has been suggested, that Mr. Ed wards is too plain andmonest. Oh, shame! Never should such an expression proceed from Republican lips. The grand qucs tion is. will Mr. Edwards accept ot the nomination? His patriotism, it is believed, will induce him to accept, when he find the people desire it. 1 lien let an humble citizen, one wno feels the interest ol his country at neart, suggest to the uelegifes to compose that Convention, to be careful who thev nominate. The Democracy of the country are ripe for reform, "they want candidate untrammelled onewhohasno con nection with the infernal, unjust & unequal corporations in the State. The people see that they have been long enough imposed on. And I will here make one prediction, that u the uonvewion shouia make a nom ination which is not strictly democratic, we shall hi defeated, otherwise our cause is safe. PLAIN TALK lit. Private property of stockholders to be j holden for the redemption of bills. 2d, The failure or refusal of a bank to re deem its notes in gold and silver, to work a forfeiture of its charter; and on the occur rence of such an event, the Governor to make a proclamation of the fact; 3d, On the suspension of a bank, com missioners to be appointed to lake charge of its effects and wind up its affairs. 4th, In case a person loses through the failure of a bank, the President and Direc tors of such bank to be liable to indictment for swindling, and if found guilty, to be punished by imprisonment in the State prison for from three to ten years. 5th, All charters to be under the control of future Legislatures. JCbngress assembled oh Monday last. We shall probably have the details of the organization of the two Houses, and the President's Message, in time for our next paper. Tennessee. We learn, says the Globe, thatthe Attorney General of the U. States, Judge Grundy, has been elected U. S. Sen ator by the Legislature of Tennessee, in place of Mr. Foster, resigned. It is ru mored that Judge White will also resign his seat in the Senate. Mississippi. Messrs. Brown and Thompson, the newly elected Republican members of Congress, have left Mississip pi for Washington City. The Democracy in that state have succeeded beyond their mostsanguine expectations. The Governor and Legislature are decidedly Democratic. We are truly gratified to hear of the elec tion to the Legislature of that staunch sup porter of Democracy, Gen. Jesse Speight, whose energetic and efficient exertions in the Legislature of this Stae,.nid in Con gress as the Representative from the New bern district, will be long cherished and remembered by the Republicans of the old North State. JJThe last Raleigh Standard contains the correspondence between the committee appointed by the Democratic meeting in Mecklenburg county & Wm. H. Haywood, Jr. E-q., relative to his nomination as the Republican candidate for Governor at the next election. In his reply Mr. Haywood says: "My privaie duties and the ob ligation I owe to others will probably nay certainly prevent me from being a candi dateor Governor at the next election" FOR THE TAKBOKO PRESS. Mr. Howard: Whether a few thoughts from one of the people, on the merits and qualifications of a proper individual to be nominated by the Convention, which is to convene in Raleigh on the Sth of January next, will be acceptable, 1 know not; but as our much favored and best of governments gives every freeman a right to speak, I 'will give my opinion, though in a short way. 1 highly approve of the manner pro posed to select a Democratic candidate for the next Governor. In making this se lection from amo:ig the many gentlemen who have been spoken of, there is no doubt but the Convention when convened WAlldothat, which is most in their opinion Pork. All the indications at present in spire the belief that we shall this year be supplied with this indispensable article of Virginia house keeping, at a very moderate price. In the VVest, where for several years past they have cured all the pork which they have raised, there will this year owing to the deranged state of money mat ters and the fact, that last year immense losses were sustained by the bacon makers, be very little pork salted at the "factories ;" in consequence of which the larger portion of the hogs raised will be driven to the eastern markets. This supply, united to our own, will enable us to provide our selves with the article at a fair price. This being the case, we should be glad to know why the price of pork keeps up in this market to'iSS per hundred? Persons who buy at this price will repent it, for by the 1st of January, pork can be bought at from S5 to 6 per hundred. Pet. Int. The Inlet. Who will step forward and call a meeting tor the purpose ot raising funds to be appropriated to this important work! We are talking politics, discus ing commercial conventions, and acfini on all questions but this most important nn in this section ol countrv Acrain we say who will step forward in the good work? Who of the wealthy among us will subscribe 10,000 to set the ball in motion? By a recent estimate it will re quire but 400,000 to complete a work by which a good harbor can be made, and millions of dollars saved to the country. Sl60,000 of this sum would undoubtedly be paid by the State, leaving $2 10,000 i , i i i .i i i oniy to oe suuscrioeu oy inuivuiuais. Nine counties are virtually interested in its completion, and the small sum of $27,000 from each would be more than sufficient to effect the desired object. We would urge this matter upon the attention of the peo ple, and call upon the men of influence among us to be up and doing. All that is needed is a commencement, and the work is accomplished. Will Chowan be backward? Will her great men be idle? we think not. We think we may safely pledge her for fifty thousand dollars of the sum required, and we hope soon to have the gratification of announcing that her citizens have set about the work in good earnest. The blessings of the saints (both here and hereafter,) rest upon him who shall first set the example by subscri bing liberally to the opening of Roanoke Inlet. Edenton Gaz. ficstruclive Fire. On Saturday night' i r a i last, our citizens were rouseu irom meir sleep by the cry ot tire, it was discovered to1 proceed Irom a two .story irame nuusc owned by Mr. Jacob Ramsour, and occupi ed by Dan'l Seagle and 13. Jetton & Sons as their work shops. The flames soon spread; .and, on the one side, the dwell ing house of Mrs. Schenck togeth er with her out houses, barns, cribs, &c. were entirely consumed. On the oth er side the fire soon reached the storehouse of Mr. Ramsour, which with many of the buildings on the rear of the lot, are now in ixshps'. His dwelling house, a large two story brick building, is very seriously in lured. The loss, we regret to say, is considera ble. Mr. Ramsour, had a large and valua b1e stock of goods on hand, most of whic were destroyed, as well as a great part of his household furniture. Mrs. J schenc saved but little; and the entire stock of goods, as well as the books and accounts of xMr. Seagle and oi the Mr. Jettons, were consumed. Lincolnton Rep.

The New Orleans papers state that the Texan loan of 5,000,000 has - been negotiated in England at S per cent, interest per annum, payable annually and redeemable in 30 years. The New Orleans Bulletin, after stating the above report, adds: We would advise holders o Texan monev not to part with it at the present low rates. The foundation of the government is beyond doubt secure; and ii cannot be very long before the national rev enue of the country will call in every dollar of its outstanding debts. She is now in flourishing condition. Her crops of cotton are already beginning to be of much impor tance to the southern portion of the United States, t oreign capitalists are gaining con fidence in the integrity and capability of her rulers to meet all demands, and it would not be at all surprising, if before twelve month expires, the treasury note of the young republic should stand at par with those ot our government. I here t ii . t lore we would say to those who are in possession of this money, do not submit to the present great saenhces. (jyThe N. Y. papers agree in opinion, that 'the news by the British Queen has not produced anv very important changes in the Money,Cotton, Flour or grain markets The Times of the 25th int. says "Hold ers of Co: ton would submit to a shade low er prices than last week, to effect sales to any extent; but holders of Flour and Grain have rather advanced their pretensions.

He was bitten by a mad dog lat August, but exhibited no symptoms of disease, until the day before his death, when he became quite frantic and ungov ernable, biting at every thing within his reach, and showing marked indications of extreme suffering and distress. ib. (JJOn Monday night last, the work shop of Mr. William Ashly, house carpen ter in this City, was. totally destrored by Fire, including the whole of its contents, which embraced a large assortment of tools, a quantity of window sashes, &c. The loss could noth ve fallen on a worthier man. ib. RESOLUTIONS ON BANKING. The House of Representatives of Vermont have passed a Resolution, declar ing it to be inexpedient to charter or re-charter Banking institutions except on the following terms, all of which may be found worthy of deep consideration, in the reform of the banking system. Lynching. On Wednesday night 13lh iris!., six white men, some of whom were painted and one colored person, enter- el the house of Mr. Nathan Lambeth, Davidson county, N. C, seized his per son, dragged him some distance from the house, there gagged him, and inflicted on his body several hundred blows with sticks. Four of the party becoming somewhat alar med at the consequences, fled, while the other two remained and renewed their beating, untill Lambeth became insensi ble and faintedj In this situation the party left him, but, after coming too, he with great difficulty reached the house, and Thursday niirht. died. It is stated by the physician who on for that obiect. auenueu mm, mat ne was scarred and lace rated from his neck to his heels, and that there was the appearance of several blows having been inflicted on his stomach and abdomen, was the cause of his death. The circumstances that led to this glar ing offence were these: A Mr. John Goss, who had formerly resided in that neigh borhood, but lately returned from Missou ri on business, had deposited with Mr. John Lee between eight and nine hundred dol lars in specie, for safe keeping. This money was taken Irom the desk of Mr. Lee, on Sunday night, the 3rd inst. Suspicion having rested upon a negro man of Mr. Lee, he was taken up, exam ined and confessed that he, in connection with Lambeth, the person lynched, had the money, & the greater portion of it was then in Lambeth's possession. This con fession of the negro, no doubt, led to the deed which followed. The two persons who were more directly concerned in this transaction, it is said, have fled. As this matter will no doubt, undergo a legal inves tigation; and as the parties implicated are of vtry respectable standing, we refrain from making anytcomments on this outrage against all law, order and civil liberty. Since the above was in type, we learn that two of the individuals alluded to a hove, John Goss and Lee Wharton, have fled, and, no doubt, are on their way home to Missouri. Western Car. Egyptian cotton. The exports of cotton Irom Lgypt lor the present year will amount to sixty thousand bales of three hundred and fifty pounds. Of this quantity there are five hundred bales of Sea Island cotton which the Pacha has introduced into Egypt The rest is of the quality called moho from a triennial plant or cotton tree, which lasts three years. Egyptian cotton, from the length of its staple and fineness commands the next highest price to our Sea Island. i M r in t i i. u sens ior sixteen dollars the hundred in Alexandria. Texas. It is asserted, in a late French journal, that Texas is disposed to assume one million pounds sterling of the Mexico debt due to England, on condition of the recog nitionof her independence by that Govern ment, and that negotiations are now ironic Washington Market, Dec. 3.

As one of our Citi zens, Mr. Fullenvvider, on Tuesday was at his plantation, at the High Shoals of the Catawba, he noticed a Negro fellow on a horse, fording the River. From his actions Mr. Fullenwider suspected something wrong, and on his landing questioned him and from his hesitation, and other appear ances, immediately arrested him and brought him to Lincolnton Jail. We have since heard, that Mr. John A. Gorsith, a respectable Citizen of Iredell County, was passing through the county on his way to Alabama with this and several other ne groes, and on Sunday night last, was bru tally murdered while in his tent asleep, having his brains dashed out with an axe. The negro, then, took one of the horses and made his escape, while the others alarmed the neighbors. From all the cir cumstances and his confessions since his ar rest, Abner the prisoner is believed to be the murderer. Much credit is due to Mr. Fullenwiderforhis spirited conduct. Lincolnton Banner.

In June last, 1 commenced using Dr. Wm.
