SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1843. FOR CONGRESS, a. ii. arkingjCoiv. (J"The Examination of the Students in the Female Academy at this place, was 1 t i rwy i i . . . i .v neia on i uesuay lasi. as usual, it was attended by a number of Ladies and Gen tlemen, and resulted in presenting addi tional testimonials of the ability and me thodical arrangement of the accomplished instructress. liss.. M. Razs&ale. and he application and rapid improvement of the pupils. -:- 7 We understand that Barney Milch ell escaped from the Jail at Williamston. (or was released) on Friday night, 6'.h ult and has not been since taken. The Jailor. son has also absconded. The day aftei Mitchell's escape, a gentleman arrive from Louisiana and identified the watch found in his pos?ssion as having belonged to the person supposed to have been mur dered and robbed by Mitchell. It is con jectured that the murdered man had from $2,000 to $2,500 in his possession. A re ward of i,000 h s been offered for the ap prehension of the murdeier. Democratic Signal. This if the title of a new papery a specimen "cojjy of which has been ju.t published at Raleigh, and which will be issued regularly, after the 4th day of July ensuing. We will take pleasure in inserting the Prospectus in our next paper. It is edited by Perrin Bus bee and Duncan K. McRae, Esq, two young meri, native North Carolinians, well educated and eminent!) qualified for the ask they have assumed, and we could not have selected two more able champions in Ihe cause of democracy they Will render e&eient support to our cause and we must 'support theni in their laudable enterprise, they have put the price of the paper down at one dollar caih, Which places it in the power of every citizen to subscribe to itj fcht price is a mere pittance in exchange for the news and political information it Will furnish. We hail it as a favorable sigh in our cause, to see talented young men, laying aside their profession and embarking in the arduous and responsible duties of the press; arid trie public should by all means give them such support as will secure and le tain their services. TOR THE TAHBOHO PRESS. Mr. Editor: We understand that a con siderable amount of monev has been col lected by the Whigs in the lower coun ties to promote the election of Edward Stanly. What is their object? Do they j)Urpose to buy up the honest voters of our district? Is bribery and corruption to be resorted to, to prop their unholy cans' ? Is It supposed that the people of this district are in the market like so many cattlt ? Such means cannot succeed, they may be poor, fcuk their honesty and independence will never yield to such seduction. Poverty is ho disgrace, and will oft n be found to be associated with the very strictest integrity of principle, Both moral and political. But when such means are resorted lo, it is well to look out. Fair play is a jewel, lis all the Democrats ask They stand bv their prin ciples, and invite the strictest scrutiny of argument; but all underhanded means and base contrivances sought to be effected by money, will be regarded with contempt and as a confession of the weakness ami wickedness of oiir Opponents. The elec tion frauds which have di.gr iced some of bur cities, can never contaminate our free soil. We know not what affinity th.re hiay be between ha pipe stems of Sparta, and the pipe layers of Philadelphia. We at least should be on the look out. TAR RIVER. FOR THE TAHBORO PRESS. . Mr. Stanly proclaimed in hi Greenville peech that he had "conquered Edgecombe once, and would conquer her again" and in his ordinary conversation lakes mrJch delight in calling himself a "conqueror." What a strange relation to a community whom he seeks to represent in the great dio'uncils of the nation. Seekine to b th representative and servant of a people, and irr his infatuated pride and self-conceit call ing himself their conqueror. What a sad reflection it should be to those few Whigs in Edgecombe, who still follow his bid omg and glorify all his abuse and low jests twut their own eounty. If he has ever conquered Edgecombe, it nrr1y i only those who cringe and tawn around him, support all his -wavering political notions and not their own and not the Democra cy of Edgecombe, who never vote for him, regard and treat him with that contempt which his scurrility and abuse entitle htm to. -No conqueror ever had 'more rebelli ous and unmanageable subiepVs than are found irt tht snnnrnpfl court u'est of Edee --- -- i i . comhe. The tenant of a lunatic asylum is as fair a conqueror, wielding hV sceptre over territories which cracked br&irVs Cm- 1 1 lit K in nhpi lipnee to his nuissant arm Stanlv's self complacency antf elation in calling himself "a conqueror.'' reminds one of the cruel it si played in hanc.no ranza, iirtir n? i mai fp trt hfilieve he was Governor of an island, surrounded by his subjects fanning him with aromatic breezes, slaking his thirst with choice viands, travelling on some enchanted steed when he only has hen seated on a wooden horse, the jest and ridicule of his supposed subject So Stanly with his corporal's guard of Edge combe Whigs. How different the estimate of our im portance is, whether we or others are the iudire of it: for instanced Stanlv calls him self here a conqueror, while on the floor of Congress he has been judge" ami caiieu lo his face bv his co- peers and fellow mem- b r by very different tiiles. Hynum of N. C. calls him "a puppy" Duncan of Ohio calls him "a po:roon and base liar" Wise of Va. calls him "a coward" yet ..one of these ever fell under his conquer ing arm. One would suppose from his cour.se and language, mat uiu vorite drink; yet nobody knows where he buries his dead." i i tU. From the Washington Republican. The Prospect From every direction in the district wC he;;r of the most tlatter- ing accounts of the prospects of the election of the Democratic Candidate for Congress Hon. A. II. Arlington. The Whigs talk long and loud ;s to the impossibility of hi-s eh ction. They know, however, U is ail delusion. i hey go so iar a io us serl that Stanly will get more than the Whig vote in Nash, and at the same time cast every slur imaginable upon the people of that county. The truth is Mr. Stanly is hound to he h'eat n I he people are dis gusted with his Tariff voles, and they will ly him bv as certain as the election takes place. He knows it. His friends know it. Hence the bitter denunciations hurled at our candidate through Stanly's organ. What! a Southern man who advdeates a protective tariff be supported by North Ca rolinians! Its an 'obsolite- idea. Ridic ulous. The people have long since opened their eyes to such an Unjust system of tax ation. .5:- From the Raleigh Standard. To the Patrons of the N C. Standard. Tht P .trrnnf thr SHn l.ird are inform ed, that afer the publication of the present number, the connection of the subscriber with Ihe establishment .vill be dissolved. Several cirruintnces might seem to have brought about this result; but 1 assure the public that nothing has had a sufficient bearing upon the subject to produce the consequences now indicated, but the will of ttie subscriber. 1 have for a longtime desired to withdraw from the arena of par ly contention, and have waited only for an opportunity to do justice to myself and to my friends, in order to consummate Ihis chi rished wish. When 1 took charge of the Standard Of fice, seven years ago, il was, with me, a private enterprise, groun led solely on my own resources. Il might, therefore, ap pear reasonable that 1 should withdraw at any time when it suited my inclination to do so. But 1 could not consent to dissolve my connection with those firm and faithful friends, who have siood by me to the pre sent moment, without leaving the estab lishment in the hands of some one who would not disappoint the expectations they entertained, when they became subscribers lo the Standard. 1 am quite sure I have attained this object in the present transfer. Mr Holden, (as will be seen by his Ad dress which follows) will continue the pa per on it" long established principles. He has ihe important advantage of being a prac tical printer, and is Avery other way well qiia.fi d to fill the station he has assumed. H is a young man of ureat moral worth, and hi nre our friends have a surety that he will fulfil the promises he makes in his opening Addiess I hope the patrons ol ihe Standard'will give him a fair trial. Towards the pairons of the Standard 1 entertain sentiments of gratitude and res pect? and shall long cherish Ihe remem brance of the kindness and partiality of which I have been the object. They have my best wishes for their personal welfare and political prosperity, so long as the lat ter shall be identical with the best interests of our beloved country. Although I retire from the contests of party, it is not my purpose to withdraw from husine-s of from public life. The pub ic will s"e a prospectus in this Stand ard, in which t propose, to isue a cheap newspaper, to be called Thf Independent. which is a Candidate for the patronage of moderate men ol all parlies. In settling the financial matters of the North Carolina Standard,- our friends will please to observe that all sums due the es tablishment up to this day. May 31, 1843, inclusive, musl be paid 16 Vhe subscriber. Mr. Holden's accounts commence on to morrow, June 1. He will send the Stand ard to those who have paid beyond that pe riod, up to the time for which they have paid, agreeably to contract in the transfer. May 24, 1843. V. LORING. The Undersigned, in assuming the Edi torial control of The North Carolina Standard, announces to the numerous friends and patrons of that print, and to the public, that ho change will take place in its political principles. He is-, and ever has been, a Democratic Republican of the School 6f '98 and 'ed; and in his new vo cation will labour, with whatever diligence and intensity his feeble abilities will per mit, to uphold and perpetuate , the great doctrines of that School. He is a demo crat, as well in feeling as in principle, be cause the members of the democratic party have always approved themselves the friends and supporters of equal rights; be cause they have ever been, and are now, ihe advocates of the many against the com binations of the few; because, whilst they vield to the Federal Government the exer cise of its acknowledged and undoubted Constitutional powers, they at the same time guard with peculiar vigilance the free dom, sovereignty and independence ol the respective States; because they regard the people as the true and the only source of legitimate power, and believe, to the full i si extent, in their capacity for self gov eminent; because it is a principle univer sally recognized in their political creed, that the public men are the servants and not the masters of the people; and be cause, in his opinion, the important public measures advocated at present by the de mocratic party are eminently calculated to augment the public prosperity and welfare. The undersigned is opposed to all taxa tion, whether direct or indirect, beyond what is necessary to supply the public wants; and he would be glad to see the public expenditures cut down td the lowest standard consistent with a vigorous and healthful administration of public affiirs. He is opposed to a costly splendor of State or National Administration. He is oppd sed to a National debt in any form what ever, unless its creation be Unavoidable. He is opposed to a National Bank, on grounds both of expediency and constitu tionality, lie is opposed to a distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, especially when they are indispensa ble to the support o government. He is opposed to the pi event high Tariff, believ ing, as he does, that it is based on protec live principles, that it operates as a bounty to the manufacturing interest, and imposes unequal and oppressive burdens especially on theSoulhern States. He is opposed to the dangerous and unjust principles involved in the late Bankrupt law. He is opposed, ut-' terly opposed; to the proposition that the General Government should assume the debts of the States. He is opposed to any alteration or modification of the Veto Pow er. And in fine, he is opposed td the pro- jects, measures arid principles of the mbd em Whig partV; In striking from the columns of the Stan dard (as he shall do next week,) the name of Mr. Van Buren as the democratic candidate fdr President, the undersigned desires it lo be distinctly understood that he takes no stand in Opposiiion to the pre tensions of that great and patriotic States man. No man can be more deeply im pressed than he is with a sense of Mr. Van Buren's high charae'er and distin guished public services; and no man will go farther, in advocating his claims to the Presidency, should the voice of the demo cratic party, in Convention assembled, be given in his favor. But the democratic par ty has other men in its ranks equnlly distin guished, whose claims upon the country are certainly entitled to equal consideration and regard; and whilst the undersigned is dis posed, nay, even desirous, as the conduc tor of a democratic pr ess, to afford to the friends of each and all of those gentlemen who have been spoken of by the democra cy of the country in connection wiih the Presidency, the fullest and the amplest range for discussion and for mutual consul tation, he must be permitted to persevere in the course he has marked out for himself pledging his support to no man in advance. He is willing to abide the decision of a De mocratic National Convention; and what ever his personal preferences may be, he would be the last man to permit them to conflict with the performance of the duty which he owes to his party and to the coun try. The undersigned has thus given, very briefly and imperfectly, however, a general outline of his political opi ions and of the principles by which he is detmined to be guided in his Editorial course. He cannot hope to bring to the performance of the task before him the experience and ability which characterized the career of his highly respectable predecessor; but he promises lo exert himself to the uttermost, and, planting himself upon the broad platform of just and imperishable principles, he assures his friends, the democratic parly and the pub lic, that he will shrink from no responsi bility which, as the conductor of a public press, he may be summoned to assume. TERMS. Three dollars per annum, payable in ad vance. The Standard will be sent for one year to Clubs at the following rates: For five dollars, two copies; for ten dollars, four J copies; for twenty dollars, ten copies. j Any person procuring ano forwarding five Subscribers, with the. Cash, (J515) will. be entitled to the Standard brie year free of charge. . i ; . The undersigned, most , respectfully so licits his democratic friends throughout the State to assist him, as far a they con veniently can, in. enlarging and atrengthen- lng his Subscription list. WILLIAM W. HOLD'S. May 3lj 1843. The Independent. -We are requested to state that the hditor s Specimen num her of the Independent, which was con templated to be isssued about the first of June, will not be put forth at, that time, in asmuch as the Editor deems il impractica ble to do So, oil account of the shortness ol th'e period which would intervene be tween such publication and the time at which the paper will regularly commence The Lditor, therefore, expects to issue his first number on the fourth day of July en suing, when the Independent will have fairly commenced and will goon. ib. The Branch Mint. We learn ffom the Mecklenburg Jeffersonian, that the Hon. Grten W. Caldwell has been appoint ed Superintendent of ihe Uni ed States Branch Mint at Charlotte, N. C. vice Mr. Burgess S. Gaiiher, removed. ib. (pWe learn from the Southern pa pers, that nearly the whol'e town of Talla hassee, in Florida; was consumed by fire on the 25th ult. About 2.50 buildings were destroyed, and 2 or 3 negroes lost their lives. Damages estimated at about 500,000, of which only about 320,000 was insured. It had not been ascertained whether it xvas the result of accident, or the work of an incendiary. (J We copy the following paragraph from ihe Sumter County (Alabama) Whig of the 16th ult. Mr. Brownrigg was born and raised in this county, was highly res pected and esteemed, and but a few years since emigrated to the west. Fatal Accident. We learn with regret that Mr. Edwin Brownrigg, was on the lOih instant, kicked by a mule on the tem ple and so much injured that he died in a few minutes. Mr. Brownrigg resided about seven miles west of this place He was a good and useful citizen; and his loss will be felt and mourned by all who knew him Gainsvilte Pilot. Suicide. We learn that a young man; Son of the late Hdn. Smith Lamprey, of Kensington. N. 11., cut his throat with A razor so severely; dn VVedriesday last, at Stratham, that his death ensued in a very short time. Mr. L: was about H years of age, and had been attending school at Strat ham for some considerable lime previous to his death. It is a Singular arid painful fact, that four onto!" the six members of this highly respectable family have come to their death by their own hands. le&buryport Herald. Sorheihing New The Miners' Ex piess ot Dubuque (Iowa) says: A Mr. McDowell came to our office yesterday, and told us thai there is an immense Pis eon roost in the forks of the Maquoketa, in Jackson county, such as has never been seen in this country before. it is ihree miles long, and a half a mile in width. There can be no estimate made of their number. Their roosting places are about a mile distant from their nests and feeding places, being three in humber, and each one covering of a section of land! and in passing to and fro they darken the air with their number and break down young tree with their weight, and hundreds are killed by getting entangled in Ihe falling limbs and brauchis. The people kill them with clubs, and their noise is so loud that when a gun is fired amongst them, the report can not be heard--and a person can stand in one placeand shoot all day, the birds retur ning as soon as you can load. They are building their nests, and the people are a larmed, lest ihey may destroy their crops. The stpamcr Acadia has arrived at Bos ton, with English papers to the 19th ult. The middling qualities of Cotton had ad vanced in price about I to id, and theie had been an extensive demand, more espe cially from the speculators. The political intelligence is unimportant. Negro Insurrection in Cuba. An arrival at New Orleans, brings intelligent of an alarming insurrection of ihe negroes on the south side of the island of Cuba. A large number of planters, with their overseers and families were the hapless victims of the infuriated blacks. Consid erable property was also destroyed. Troops were immediately despatched from Havana to the scene of riot, and much anx iety was manifested as to the result. Washington Market, June 8. Corn wholesale, 3 0 per barrel. Bacon 6 cents.
