Pin. lrirStsifc SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1S10. Democratic llepnblicnn Stale Ilighls Nominations. KOri PRESIDENT, MARTIN VAX lUTREN i:o;ujjl"j -12. SAUR3&1EKS. (fy Wc learn, verbally, Uiai (he Demo craiic Distfrirt Convention assembled at Washington on Monday last that it was organized by the appointment of Gcn.Wy clt Moyc of this county, President, and jas.U.IIoyiojE.q of Pitt, Secretary. There were a large number of delegates in attend ance, and the proceedings were conducted with the utmost harmony and unanimity. Wra. L. Kennedy, E-q. of I5eauforf, was unanimously nominated Elector f i r this district on the Democratic Presidential Ticket and one delegate was selected from each county to represent this dis trict in the Baltimore Convention, viz: Henry I. Toole, fcsq. of Beaufort, Sher rod Tison, of Pitt, Satterthwaite, of Hyde, - - Rogers, of Tyrrell, Armistead, of Washington, and Charles G. Hunter, Esq. of Edgecombe. The Convention adjourned on the same day. We shall probably be enabled to give a de tailed account of the proceedings in our next paper. (jjWc tender our thanks to the Hon. R. Strange, 13. Brown, and W. Allen, of the Senate, and J. A. Bynum, W. Mont "gomery and A. Duncan of the House for several interesting Congressional doc uments and speeches. (J We regret to see that another fracas has occurred in the House of Representa tives, the Hon. J. A. Bynum having boen first struck by It. Garland, another mem ber of the House. Happily for the coun try, the Democracy have a Representative, that is still lintcrrifled, and "rights his wrongs wherever given." Much as we de plore the present ill-timed and undignified collision, we yet rejoice that there a few Undaunted 'spirits that present an unyield ing front to the violence, frauds and Chicanery practised by the Federal whig-; which, if successful, arc but the precur sors ofasecond "reign of terror." CONGRESS, The Senate have passed the Rill for the manufacture of small silver coin, and also, by a full vote, the General Pre cmplion Bill. The House is still engaged on the civil and Diplomatic list. On the 21st ult. great confusion prevail ed in the House, arising from a person a! rencontre between Messrs. Rice Gar land and J. A. Bynum. The combatants were immediately separated by the interpo sition of other members, amidst great noise and confusion. The Speaker resumed the Chair, and the following Resolution, offer ed by Mr. Underwood, of Ky. was unani mously adopted: Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed to investigate the facts relative to the disorder ami personal violence which has jiist taken place between two of the members, to-wit, Rice Garland and Jesse A. Bynum, and that said Committee have power lo send for persons and papers; and that it report with all practicable dis patch the facts of the cae. jjlt would seem, from the following statement, that the two principal qualifica tions of Gen. Harrison, on which the Fed eral whigs appear most to rely lor his ele vation to the Presidency, arc rather ques tionable that is, his living in a log cabin add drinking hard cider: In the House of Representatives, on the 10th ir.sL, ?ays a cutt:inporary, Mr. Dun can, of Ohio, occupied the whole of the day in refuting the la;i!eis, an J correcting the errors of Graves and others. In the course of his icmarks he took 'occasion to say, that Gen. Harrison was one of his constituents, and he felt bound to defend him from the slanders and falsehoods which had been fabricated against him bv the Whig party. He said il was not true thai the General lived in an old "log cabin and dn.uk Hi ird cider." That was a Use- lioosi oi one whom he knew well; and as li.s neighbor he was determined to answir the charge, and rfoe Hut no ci rounds im- t n J,:. ii i l t 1"" i'i p rv. IleWcdthIIou ihat Hainan lived in ns splendid a house as any mar. on the floor had ever seen for a private residence. And as to his living, no man in Congress or elsewhere, fared better 4i..... h,r,n,!. and ibat he would consider it 'r it ...i,wk tip would resent, to be an insuiL vim- - - asked to diink hard eider.

It admits the verity r . of the correspondence of Messrs. J. C.

From the texture of this article, it will be seen that it is mciwrcJ by the cjmmitlce itself. It contains the identical cxcusj for denying Harrison the privilege of speaking for him self, that is given in the Oswego letter: "At a public meeting of the opponents of Mr. Van Burcn's administration, held in this county some time since, an 'Exe cutive Committee was appointed. This body subsequently appointed a corres ponding committee, to cooler with com mittees and individuals in other place-, having the same objects in view. There was nothing secret or confidential in the appointment of this committee. The names of ihe individuals were published re peatedly in the newspapers of this city. They aie 'good men and true,' labeling openly and honestly to elfect a change in the Government of the country. "Since the nomination of General Harrison by the llarrisburg Convention, he has been literally overrun by letters from all parts of the Union, asking for in formation on various points connected with his public career; and for documents illustrative of his views on certain political questions. "f ora while General Harrison endea vored to answer these letters himself. But he soon found that to do so would occupy all his time, to the entire neglect of his farm and his other private business. 44 1 he committee make no new issues ictwuen General Harrison and the party in power they exercise no surveillance over him he needs no keepers, and is too independent, too lrank, and too honest to have any. fc A 11 they have sought to do, is lo relieve him from the oppressive i lahor of answ ering thirty or forty letters a week, most of them asking for inform ation with which to rebut ihe vile eul- uiuuies thai the supporters of Mr. Van j IJ.ireu arc promulgating in distant places against thel iir fame of one of our best ! men. And in this work the committee j intend to persevere, however much it mav ! diturb the'seuMuihUes ol such Loco V o,'o 1 presses as the Washington Globe, the Ohio statesman, liser.'' and the Cincinnati Adver- From the Faycllcvillc Journal. Toe the mark. The Democrats of the Rockingham Convention have urged "The Test" with eU'eel. See below President Van IJuren's answer to Mr. Leak's letter. Here is no evasion. No equivocation. No Subterfuge. Nut plain Republican dealing, answering a plain question so that no voter can have a shadow of doubt when he reads. Harrison puts himself in the keeping of a committee, to answer the enquiries sent to him by the hundred, from the people; asking him to publish Ids views on politics. He is too busy to write for himself, and the committee informs the public, that he will not answer such enquiries. The public therefore, must find out his opinions as they can. How diiilrcnt the course of the two cr.ulidaUs for the Presidency. Mr. Van Huren comes out openly and cxpli citly on all subjects. General Harrison will not express any opinion, to be printed 'for the public." He dare not offend the Abolitionists of Ohio, New York and Vermont. Mark! as we have often said before, he dare nut do it. Here follows Mr. Leak'i let and the piun-pl lejily.

Resolved, That although we hive no cause to suspect, either an union of senti ments, or of action between the Abolition ists and Martin Van Buren, yet, we arc firmly persuaded that the highly excited and sensitive condition of the public mind at the South, require at his hands a rene w al of the same S'-ntimcnts, as were con timed in his letter of the Glh of March, 1S3G, to Junius Amis and others. Resolved, As Southern Citizens, and as Southern Democrats, we cannot, nor will not support any man for the Presiden cy, who does noi give me ouum n.m.-u.iv.-tory assurances, that ho is opposed lo ihe wild and mischievous movements of the Abolitionists. Resolved, That as soon as the Chairman shall receive an answer from ei'her, or both of the gentlemen, to whom the above interrogatory is put, that he publish the same in the "North Carolinian." In discharging, sir, the duty devolv ing on me, as Chairman, I respectfully submit the interrogatory, contained in thu first resolution, for your consideration, and ask of you an early reply. 1 should, however, be doing injustice, my .o my uw.. ...

In many U11. dreds of certified eases which have been ' made publie, and in almost every species of disease lo which the human frame ij liable, ihe happy t-fiocts of ITIOFFAT'S LriJb Tills fc Phemx BiMc i s, Have been gratefully and publicly ao nowledged by the persons hem fitted, ami who were previously unacquainted wiih ihe beautifully philosophical principles up on which they ai e compounded, and up on which I hey const qieuily act. The Liife Medicines Recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their fiot operation is to loosen from the coats nf Ihe stomach and bowels, the various im purities and crudities constantly settling around ihein, and lo remove the hardened fteees which colled in ihe convolutions of t the small intestines. Other medicines I only partially cleanse these, and leave f such collected masses behind as to pro duce habitual costiveuess, with alt its train of evils, or sudden diarrl eea, wiih its imminent dangers. This fact is well Uuowii lo all regular anatomists, who ex amine ihe human bowels after death; ami hence the prejudice of ihese well informed ' men against quack medicines or me dicines prepared and heralded to ihe pub lic by ignorant persons. The second e fleet of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by tMs means, the liver & the lungs, the heahiifui action of which entirely depeuds upon the regularity ol the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from (lie agem y of (he liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely tluo' llie : veins, renews every part of the system, ; and triumphantly mounts the 'banner of ' health in the blooming check. Moffat's Vegetable Life Medicinrs ' have been thiroughly tested and pro- uouueed a sovereign remedy for Dyspep sia, Flatulency Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Head ache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety Languor and Melancholy, CostiVeness, Diarrl tiJ.i, Chnlera, Fevers of ail kinds, Ivheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kiud Gravel, worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scar buiic Lruptious, and bad complexions, Ffiiptive complaints Sallow, dowdy, . and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and Influenza, and various other com plaints which afflict the human frame. In FLVKtt AND AGUE, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most emilieiitly successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni versally prescribe theiH. All that Mr. Mnfl'it requires of his pa tients is, to be particular in taking the Lift! M diciues strictly according lo the direc tions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or by aiiy thiiig that he himself may say i" their favor, that he hopes to gain credit It is alone by the results of a fair trial. illoHM's medical Manual, Designed as a domestic guide to health.
