And what hare we seen ft ihe presen'
eesaion of Confess? The House of Rep
rodent 1 1 i VTeS kent in a state of disorganiza
tion for week.- bv an attempt to force into

v. when five other men, notoriously and
.,"nf.,.U, tiu.t n maioritV of the VOteS
given at the eUction: The "broad seal
of the Governor, though covering a known
and acknowledged fraud, was bHd by
them more scred than the people's right
of suffrjgc.and was considered a better title
to a seat in Congress than a majority ot
th people's voles? This was not a Fcnn
sylvania scene, probably because the
Harrison pirty here had no Governor Hit
ner under their control lo back the "broad
seal" with "buckshot and balU" but the
contempt for the people, and the will to
trample on their rights, weie in bo.h
cases the same.
Freemen of the United States! Tour lib
erties are not 3 safe as you may suppose.
Think vou. if Harrison hail been Presi
dent, the army of the United States would;
have been refused to his friends in I enn
sylvania? Think you, that in such a
condition of things ihe people of that State
could have maintained their right to a
Qovernor and Legiidaiure of their own free
choice, but bv wading thro' rivers of blood?
It was at llarrisburg, on the very scene of
the Uilner usurpation, and by the influence
of the leaders in that desperate effort, that
the nomination of Han ison was effected! If
elected. Ritner's advisers will be his advi
sers; the profligacy and daringncss of
that faction will be transferred to Wash
ington; and their spirit pervade the admin
istration of the General Government.
What have you to expect from it, but what
you have seen it attempt? What, but
that corruption and fraud in elections will
pervade every State? What, but that mi
nority candidates will be thrust into tne
State Legislatures, and "broad seal" mem
bers into Congress, at the point of the bayo
net. A flood of demcyalizauon has swept over
our land; and upon some States ii rests in
stagnant pools, contaminating the atmos
phere of liberty, and threatening death
to every thing virtuous, noble, and
free. It is to the m mater Bunk,
which, having struggled in vain, by its
blandishments, its c irrnptio s and its ter
rors, to overcome the f. ;wics and incor
ruptible man then at the he;.! of the Gen
eral Government, turned to tUc. Siate Le
gislature where il found no difficult) in buy
ing upSenators by the doz -nthat thepeople
of Pennsylvania were indebted for t?e pro
fligacy exhibited in the attempt to subvert
their liberties by the sword. To means
furnished by the same and similar institu
tions, or those directly connected with
them, if not even to the bankers of Europe,
are the people of the United Statts undoubt
edly now indebted, not only for the depra
vation of morals which threatens to break
up the foundations of society, but for a large
portion of the means which enable the
"Executive Committee" at Washington to
prosecute their war against an honest
and democratic Administration. It was
by violaiing moral obligations and plun
dering their own people through the
Bank of England, that the British Govern
ment was enabled to keep the world in
arms during the scenes of the French Rev
olution ; and the British party in America
are profiting by the profligate example.
Laws are violated with impunity; moral
obligations are scoffed at and derided; kna
very walks the streets with the bold f.ce
of honesty; plunderers of the public and
of Dublic institutinns nhti
and torgiveness; and the Administration.
j ii ? iu s.i 1 1 1 y
which sternly sets its face against these
evils and their authors, is sought to be made
the victim of its firmness and integrity.
If bad men are to be permitted to over
throw it, by means so profligate and with
motives so corrupt, w hat is to be expected
but that they will proceed to aggrandize
themselves upon the ruins of our free
Government, and the enslavement of our
people!
It will be my endeavor, as far as neces
sary, to vindicate the Administration from
the foul aspersions cast upon it, and ear
nes!ly to inculcate
That in the practice of a rigid morality
alone, can men or nations justly look for
happiness and safety:
That there is but one code of morals for
private and public affairs:
That pure morality is true democracy,
conceding to every one his right, and seek
ing advantages of none:
That every freeman has aright to know
the political opinions of any candidate who
is presented for his suffrages; and to deny
him that right, is a wrong and insult which
strikes at the root of representative govern
ment, and is the adoption of a kingly prin
ciple: That the cause of morality, freedom, and
law; the interests of agriculture, manufac
tures, and commerce : the peace of. the
country; the rights of the people and the
safety and improvement of their institu
tions, will be best promoted and secured
by the re-election of xMr. Van Buren;
And, finally, that it is the indispensable
duly of every man who wishes to preserve
the blessings of an honest representative
government, the rights of property, the'
xaun oi comr icts, ihe honor ot his country,
and the freedom of man, to oppose, by all
honorable means, the election of General
Harrison, who ah ady sets the people at
, i -n utj fnpnd mock and in-
drfiince. while his nu"" . .
u litem by a childish and ridiculous
mummerynto wlld na"
!iThfffrdty of the Harri,on party is
equal to their folly. In every moment
of rising hope they cannot restrain their
folly their taunts, their riotous parades,
shouts of exultation, and groans of insult.
While holding a high public station, I
have seen my children spring in terror
from their beds at the dead hour of mid
night, in the belief that guns were fired
into the windows of their chamber. It
was the cannon of Federalism in the street
where its myrmidons had collected lo ex
ult over and" insult their father with mock
music, firing, and groans.
The Got! of Liberty forbid that this
spirit should ever get possession of our
Government! And does not every true
Republican say amen?
Let us rally to the rescue. Send light
among the people and ihe Republic is sale.
Fur myself, if it be possible that the peo
ple of this country can throw themselves
into the arms of a candidate without prin
ciples to announce, party already mad
with the hope ot power, tnougn m in
fo r success on nothing but their industry
and skill in deluding the people; and if my
feeble powers shall enable me to do any
thing to prevent it, I shall esiem the day
of my resignation of the Post Office De
partment tho most fortunate of my life, as
it has been already one of the happiest.

HOUSE OF COMMON3.
WILLIAM S. BAKER,
JOSHUA BARNES.
(JThe annual Examination of the stu
dents in the Tarboro' Female Academy,
was held on Tuesday and Wednesday last,
and was attended as usual by a large audi
tory of ladies and gentlemen. The pupils
in the various classes exhibited their won
ted proficiency in their different studies,
equally creditable to their application and
to the indefatigable attention of their tal
ented instructress, Miss A. M. Ragsdale.
A complimentary ball was given lo the stu-
dents on Thursday evening, which termi
nated the exercises on the occasion in an
agreeable manner.
(yWe invite attention to the soul
stirring Address of the Hon. A. Kendall,
in the preceding columns; and we ask the
candid and dispassionate reader to weigh
well the facts and arguments set forth
therein. Then let him call to mind the
numberless outrages recently committed
by the Federal Whigs at Wellington City
and elsewhere, and he must unquestionably
reiterate the declaration, "Freemen of the
United States! Your liberties are not so
safe as you may suppose." Nay, he can
not avoid the conc'usion, jhat had the fla
grant frauds attempted to be practised by
T?a,u,...i win ire in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, been permitted to pass unre
sisted, that the people, the honest yeoman
ry, the Democracy of those States could
not again have acquired the ascendancy,
unless they had also resorted to "buckshot
a id ball cartridges. "
We earnestly hope that every sound De
mocrat will endeavor to procure a copy of
the Extra Globe, that he may be conecily
informed of the stratagems and devices by
which the Federal Whigs are endeavoring
to mislead the people, in the vain hope of
again acquiring the ascendancy in our Na
tional and State Governments.
QWe give below the particulars of
another fracas at Washington City, from
which it will be seen that again the assail
ant is a Federal Whig. WTe regret that
our limits forbid the introduction of the
letters referred lo, as they clearly indicate
that Mr. Ray ner got worsted in the argu
ment as well as he did in the fight.
From the Globe.
Washington, D. C. May 30, 1S-10.
Messrs. Blair and Rives: I must ask
that you will publish the whole of the let
ters of K. Rayner and myself in your pa
per this evening, with a statement of what
occurred in tne Lapitoi tins nay. hen
the House took a recess, but while slid in
session, I left my seal, pissed through the
hall to the post office, deposited some pa
pers, to be sent to my lodgings, and was go
ing thro the passage to join my company
in the Rotunda. A man, who was standing,
or meeting me, in the passage, seized me
by my right arm, and at the same moment
struck me a blow with a large cane, with
out my knowing who inflicted it. 1 turned
round and discovered that it was my col
league, K. Rayner, with a large cane,
which afterwards turned out to be a sword
cane. I struck him with a small cane I had
in my hand, not as large as my finger,
which broke into several pieces the first
blow I struck. A fight ensued between
us for some time, until we were separated;
he with his sword cane, and 1 with a small
piece of my cane. I have no doubt my col
league had placed himself there for the pur
pose of attacking me. 1 haif no sword cane,
or armsof any kind, not supposing my-colleague
wonld be guilty of the cowardly at
tempt at assassination, in which I fear, from
his conduct, 1 was mistaken. Had I antici
pated thisattack,Imighthave been prepared.
His conduct has been that of a mean, cow
ardly scoundrel, first, in attacking me thro'
the columns of the Globe, and when his
conduct is there exposed, his only resort
wa, not that of an honorable man, but that
of an assassin, waylaying, and without the
slightest notice, with a weapon prepared
for the purpose, seeking to take his re
venge, cut-throat like. From his cow
ardice, or some other cause, he was una
ble to hurt me. He lost his sword from
his cane in the fight, which he loud
ly called for several times after we were
separated; and I broke my cane into
many pieces over his head. He has acted
the part of a base coward and an unprinci-j
pled scoundrel. 1 proved the facts Upon
him. (Seethe letters below.) He has there
lore failed as yet to injure mc, while he
has, by his own conduct, disgraced him
self, by waylaying and attacking me with
a deadly weapon; and I have inflicted
chastisement upon him by breaking my
cane over his head. He is, therefore, wel
come to all he has gotten so far, and to all
he can in any way gain hereafter. Yours,
W. MONTGOMERY.
CONGRESS.
In the Senate, a message was received
from :the President in relation to the
presents of the Imour of Muscat (consisting
of horses, pearls and other articles of value.)
He suggests the adoption of some legisla
tive provision, pointing out the course
which may be proper for the Executive
to pursue in that and all future instances
where offers of a like kind may be made,
without the risk of giving offence.
The Independent Treasury bill is the
prominent subject under consideration in
the House of Representatives.

Convention of all who are interested in
the Manufacturing business in this State,
is proposed to be held in this City, on the

Yarns, and to take such steps as may be
df-PniPil of imDortance in ciiculating infor

and propriety of a more extensive oper-
ation. All papers friendly to the cause
