the Bank of Cape Fear, was discovered to

The total loss is estimated at S300,000, on
which there was insurance to the amount
of 8100,000. Further particulars next
week.
(JWe learn from the Halifax Repub
lican, that at the Superior Court held there
last week, Judge Manly presiding, Elliot
Shaw was tried for the murder of Ran
dolph Powell, in that county in October
last. Some altercation occurred between
them, when Powell struck Shaw with a
stick in a few minutes afterwards, Shaw
walked up to the hack of Powell and struck
m with a stone on the back of the head
near the neck, which occasioned his death
in a few minutes. Shaw was found guilty
of manslaughter, and was sentenced to be
branded in the hand and three months' im
prisonment. An appeal was prayed and
granted to the Supreme Court. Shaw en

Jt is a noble act of justice and magnanimity,

rebuke to her Senators, who in their blind
zeal for party would withhold truth and
justice, and refuse to wipe off the last stain
from the reputation of the war-worn vete
ran who had saved their country.
They have instructed their member of
Congress to vols to refund the fine with
interest, and resolved if the next Congress
does not do it, they will pay it themselves.
Let the deed be proclaimed, for it redounds
to the honor of those who passed it, as well
as to him who so richly merited it.

FOR THE TAUBORo' PRESS
The resolution of the Sparta Whigs of
aagecomoe.
"Resolved, That any Whig who fails to
fl8 his duty during this Congressional cam
paign, shall be WHIPPED with Pipe
Stems, and chunked with Rotten Eggs,
that have been discarded by the old wo
tnen." The above Resolution was concocted at
a Whig meeting, or "consultation,1 at
Sparta, Edgecombe county, and forward
ed to the Whig Convention at Washington
and the following extract of their own
Journal, shows the reception of it iherej
"In this stage cf the proceeding, rpcni.t.

and those who are acquainted with the cha
racters of the five above named persons
will have no difficulty in fixing it on the
right author a certain disappointed Whig
office-seeker, whose principles and patriot
ism are the loaves and fishes of office; who
has been said lor some years to be living on
his wits but his fat so far exceeds his wit
as to belie the report; and if his correspon
dence with Sianly could be published,
would shew where all his interest lies
No wonder under such a leader, that such a
resolution should form one article in the
Whig creed.
Well knowing that Stanlv's reckless
course on some vital questions of Southern
interest, and his open disregard of the
rights, interests and wishes of his con?titu
ents on more occasions than one, had driV

for such hands.
weapon
The Whig party have rendered them
selves conspicuous for their nicknames
They have slurred over their opponent
with the odious and offensive titles, Loco
Foco, Huge Paws, Destructives, &.c at
the same time perfuming themselves wiih
the most attractive and odoriferous names,
such as Whigs, Patriots, National Republi
can, &c. I3ut like negroes decked o!T ift
their Sunday finery, their low breeding
and vulgarity will show itself in some dir
ty or outlandish garment. They cannot
enjoy the fragrance of their titles and fine
decorations, without hitching on their coon
skins, long gourds and pepper pods, and all
the paraphernalia of the hard cider orgies.
And this is the party who arrogate to
themselves "all the decency, order, and
talents" of the country. Oh, Johnny
oh, Neddy what a stench among the
Whigs when they begin their warfare.
Pipe stems and rotten eggs can maintain
the field against the brightest steel and
keenest weapons. What friend or foe could
escape the wounds of such warfare.
Just imagine Stanly surrounded by his!
"Corporal's guard" of Edgecombe Whigs,
equipped with their "rot'en eggs and pipe
stems," ready to charge upon any poor
suffering Y hig who tries to escape such
odoriferous company. Whew! what a
stench! FalstafT's "rankest compound of
villanous scents" would be a noegay to it
Stanly's "Corporals guard," like Cap
tain Tyler's numbers six; but the Cap
tain's guard contend with the strength of
their heads and the Valor of their arms
whereas Sianly's guards, like so many po
litical polecats, fight with the stench of
their tails
Small as the Whig pirty of Edgecombe is,
it contains some as decent & respectable citi
zens as any in the county, who are doubt
less shocked that such a sentiment should
have found expression among any of their
Whig brethien. And li but jusiice to
them as well as the community al large,
that its authors should be known; and if
they are determined to wage such a war
fare, to caution both friends and foes to be
ware of such political skunks.
An apology is due, for giving this impor
tance to such a filthy proceeding; but. the
eclat, and ".soul thrilling applause" bes
towed upon it at the W hig Convention, in
vest it with a consequence that its exposure
was deemed necessary. PEPPER.
TOft THE TARBORO PRESS.
Mr. Editor: I had the pleasure of hear
ing Messrs. Arlington and Stanly address
the people of Pitt, in the Court House in
Greenville, on the 2nd inst Mr. Arring
ton opened the debate in a short and con
cise way, but in every shape gentlemanly.
ivir. sianly lollowed, and spoke about two
hours and a quarter, or thereabouts. He
as usual evaded every point, only those he
was oound to confess, otherwise it would
have been too palpable. In place of prin
ciple he gave us blackguardism such
stuff will not do for ihe farmers of Pitt,
they have been humbugged too often. In
stead of blackguardism ihey cill for pnnci
pie, (not nonsense, to tickle the ear,) but
promises fulfilled. Have the Whigs fulfil
led their promises made before they came
into power? No, not one. What is the
cause then? The answer is plain, they ne
ver intended; so they could gel into pow
er, they cared not for the dear "people. 5
What does Stanly tell you now, freemen
He I
tells vou they lost their President Harri-
son died, lyter lurneu uauui, iu mey
could do noming Dcuauac ui ijici o c-
toes.
Itis hot IrUe, and 1 Will proceed to
nrove it.
Before we begin to bring up the
r
nmof. we will ask you a tew questions
Who madVTyler the Vice President? The
Whigs. Did not the wnigs Know ver
whIL that ih case of death, inability. &C
iha rr,r.i;tiitinn declared that the Vice
President should he the President as such
who made him President? The Whigs
Turn and twist as you please, your actions
in IS39 and MO, placed John Tyler in the
high office he now occupies. Who charges
their President with seduction and treason?
The Whigs. Now Mr. Stanly Tells you
Miey could do nothing on account of Ty
ler's vetoes; (their President the Demo
crats will not have him,) he must be a bad
man, if half as meart as Stanly represents
him to be. Now we will see if his vetoes
were the cause the Whigs could do noth
ing, and if we show you to the reverse, we
shall have made 'good our promise. VVe
proceed to the proof.
1st. The Whigs passed a high tariff bill,
(over the tVventy jier cent, limited by the
compronVite act,) and raised it an hundred
per cent, ort some articles? Did Tyler ve
io it? No. 2nd. The Whigs pa-sed a bill
to distribute among the Stales the proceeds
arising from the sales of the public lands
did Tyler veto it? No. 3rd. I he Whigs
passed a loan bill, to borrow twelve mil
lions of dollars did Tyler veld it?. No.
4th. The VVhigs passed a bankrupt bill, to
make nbl) aiid void just debts between
creditor and debtor did Tyler veto it?
No. 5th. They passed a bill to repeal it
did Tyler stop it? No. tith. They passed
a loan bill to borrow five millions of dol
lars, add this to the twelve millions, make
seventeen millions dici Tyler veto it?
No. We presume here is proof enough to
satisfy any man, besides the extiuvajut
apprdpriation bills, &c. &c.
These are what Stanly calls nothing, ha!
It is doing nothing with a vengeance. It
would have been far better for the nation,
if Tyler had prevented ft great deal more;
if he had, the nation 'would hot have been
in debt twenty-five or thirty millions of
dollars as it is. And yet Stanly tells you,
Tyler with his vetoes prevented ihem (the
Whigs) from redeeming their promises.
By this time you can see, as plain as the
nose on your face, that Tyler stands as fair
is his accusers (the Whigs.) What has
Tyler done? He vetoed two bank bills,
and one tariff bill with the distribution in
its belly; and now they call him a traitor,
for killing such a deformed animal which
could be no benefit to its owner. Tell it
not in Gath, nor publish it in the streets of
Askelon! You have done too much, it
will rise up in judgment and condemn you;
yes, it already is rising, and because it is
coming td the rescue of the Did dominion
and old Edgecombe, for standing to their
first principles Stanly shouts, UI HAVE
CONQUERED EDGECOMBE ONCE,
AND I WILL CONQUER HER A
GA1N." All we have to say at present id
defence of Edgecombe is, if we were voted
down in IS37, we fell gloriously fighting
in freedom's cause, but not "conquered;"
our lines are full, we have upwards of fif
teen hundred veterans, and we say to tle
"conqueror" we are sure there are but few
faint-hearted ones among us; take all the
fainty ones and deserters together, they
will not count eighty and in August next I
we will present an unbroken front, and as
the enemy advances we will pour in a gall-j
ing nre, wnicn win kiu or wound htte n
hundred Federal votes then she will tell
the "conqueror" that Bonaparte was a
conqueror, but he was conquered; so she
will say to Edward Stanly the "conque
ror," that he is conquered.
Stanly spoke of gerrymandering, &c.
and condemned the Legislature for laying
off the State into districts, in his survey,
he said this district run near the Virginia
line, and said, he despised the line, be
cause he had heard in Washington some
say they were from near the Virginia line;
then in the "conqueror's" eye, those that
live near the line if they tell the truth in
Washington, he will continue to despise the
line as he now does. Those who have
told they were from near the Virginia line
he compared to thieves if he despises the
line, it must be from some other cause
Perhaps he has had a hot contest with some
of the Virginians, or he may have been
invited to cross the line, or he may con
demn Virginia for standing to her first
principles from Ihe days of Washington un
til now. (Just so he frets about Edge
combe, and wants to conquer her again
and says he will doit) Virginians, re
move the line, or if he conquers Edge
combe he like Bonaparte may try you
Edgecombe and Virginia Will support the
constitution, and defend it to the lasi; if we
fall, we will fall with it. After a long rib
ble rabble and abuse of rren, &c. as is his
low course, Stanly gave way.
Mr. Amngton rose and replied, step by
step, to every pornt worthy of notice. He
laid before the people the inconsistencies of
Mr. Stanly s course in appropriate terms,
producing matters and facts so plain to
common sense, that the people were com
pelled to see and understand for them
selves. He lifted the veil, yes, took it off,
and showed whiggery and humbuggery in
their proper colors, from 1840 to the 4th
of March last. After replying to Stanly
in a manner becoming a gentleman of good
taste, he closed in this way: Fellow citi
zens, if high tariffs and high taxes are what

er abolished from the Federal Conslitu
tion, the great sfeg'Jard of the South, and
that torn td pieces and mangled, l am
not the man to represent vou, &c. &c. He
then gave way.
Stanly rose again, like a man of fury,
(he was in a tight place ") He looked and
spoke like a man in anger, but whether he
was or not, 1 left htm making use of such
stuff that men seeking for principles and
courtesy, and good will among men, will
not justify him nor such a course. A man
that never had seen a 'cona,ere,,, would
