this county, "that nothing was more nau
seous to him than the Tarboro' Prrss, ex
cept some of the pills it advertises." Ah,

offender. You have flattered yourself ih it

Mr. Stanly's Circular.
(JWe had just concluded Mr. Arring-' mtion
ton's Circular, when we received the re
ply of Mr. Stanly. We would ask for no
strong assertions
"It appeared on the whole, he concluded,
that the Hill was
Condemned by the silence of the Conti-
Harrison SS25.000. Mrs. Harrison was
rich, and having no claim on the Govern
ment, she did not even ask it. Congress
had no power to grant such donation, and
besides the usurpation of power it was a
dangerous example. The public money is
collected from the working and industrious
portions of the people, and if it is thus,
without license, to be squandered on the
rich and aristocratic, we shall have taken a
fatal step toward that luxury and corrup
tion which will overthrow the liberties and
constitution of the country. Yet Mr.
Stanly votes for it, and has the assurance to
preach reform and retrenchment at home
It is to support this extravagance he vote;
for high tariffs and taxes.
Stanly, the artful dodger.
The Whigs went into power at the Ex
tra Session full of promises of relief and re
trenchment, and how have they performed
them? They very soon with the aid of
Democratic votes passed a law reducing the
price of public printing 20 per cent, and
elected Gales & Seaton, the Whig organs,
as public printers.
Very good, &o far. But the Whigs ei
ther intended it for a cheat, or they could
not hold on in a good cause; for by a strict
Whig vote, they gave an additional extra
allowance to the same public printers of 20
per cent, thereby gratuitously voting away
30 or S40.000. A very pretty donation to
these Whig Editors- repealing their own
boasted bill of retrenchment, and voting
away the public money to their favorites.
And how did Mr. Stanly vote on this
question? His name a'int there,, though
the Journal shows he was present that day.
Is this performing the duties of a Repre
sentative? Can you support a man that
lodges so important a bill, who sits by qui
etly and sees thousands voted away, with
out a word or a vote?
Hut the next day, a motion was made to
reconsider this vote and undo it; and then
Mr. Stanly is drawn from his concealment,
and had to show his favor for the bill by
voting against any attempt to reconsider or
repeal it. The "artful dodger' of one
day was exposed on the next. Yet in his
boasted reports of the committee of public
expenditures, he is silent as the grave on
this subject. The money was appropria
ted to pamper his own favorites, and though
the Representative of a free people, he da
red not expose. This is a specimen of his
boasted independence, vigilance, econo
my, and Republican virtue.

On the other hand is Mr. Stanly's reply.
filled with personal ridicule and attempts
at vulgar wit, with a vainglorious display
of his own personal consequence. He mis
represents Arlington's Circular as a per
sonal attack on him, though there is not a
line or word in it he can torture to th.it
meaning. In the coarsest and moct abu
ve style he resorts to the low expedient
of nicknaming his opponent says he has
not sense enough to write or speak a
speech: that he is not fit to represent the
people: that he is afraid of him: that he
has insulted him with impunity: and final
ly, that he does not consider him as an op
ponent. Now if the warmest admirer ol
Mr. Sianly in this district had said all ihis,
we might look on it with some allowance
as the effect of blind zeal and excessive ad
miration. Hut to be all add by Mr. Stan
ly himself is too bad. There is a d gree ol
ego'ism, boasting, low, and puerile abuse.
which if he is silly enough to put forth fo
rrmself, the good taste and correct fteling
of the Whig community will frown into
contempt.
Luckily the people are judges of Mr.
Airington's qualifications and abilities, a
well as Mr. Stanly's On that point, they
v.ill make up ihir own judgment. Thev

And he honed it would receive its final
condemnation by the vote of this House."
These were constitutional opinions of
Madison which he never altered. He sign
ed the chaiter in 1817, under the strong
plea of necessity; and yielding to prece
dent and not to any change in his own
mind of the correctness of his views and
reasoning ahove alluded lo. Then Mr.
Stanly should never again say, that Madi
son was in favor of the right of Congress
to charter a bank (perse.)
He equally errs in saying, it has been
twice declared constitutional by the Su
preme Court. The decision of the Su
preme Court was this, that Congress h d
power to pass laws necessary and proper to
carry into effect the granted powers of the
Constitution; and that Congress must judge
of the necessity, and not the Court. The
Supreme Court never decided that Con
gress could incorporate a company for
banking purposes, so Mr. Stanly is again
wrong, and these are the main grounds up
on which Mr. Stanly is urging a bank,
against the facts themselves and the lights
f experience.
All together we feel encouraged by the
displays of ill-tempered wit in Mr. Stanly
It is a true saying, that when a man loses
his argument he loses his temper; under
this rule, we have abundant evidence that
he is sadly worsted in the argument.
(JAmong the first acts of the Whigs
of the famous Extra Session,' for which Mr
Election in Louisiana. By the last
mail we learn, that the Democrats have
succeeded in electing every Democratic
member of Congress, a triumph never be
fore achieved there. Besides its bearing
on the general politics of the country, this
election is a severe rebuke to the last Whig
Congress, for refusing to refund the fine
unjutly imposed on Gen. Jackson, for his
noble defence of that gallant State. Whe
ther disregard of patriotism and justice
may have actuated the Whigs in their
course on this question, the voice of Loui-
iana will now be heard, and the claims of
gratitude and long withheld justice will
now be granted.
The same sentence of condemnation
sterns passed on the Whigs in every elec
tion now going on, whether North, South,
Est, or West. Louisiana was one of their
footholds, which they had maintained
through every reverse. And notwith
standing Mr. Clay, the great Whig leader,
had spent nearly the whole winter among
them, feasting and speaking, yet the ballot
boxes show that the gallant Louisianians
have repudiated him and his Whig doc
tnnes.
Ed. Stanly, and that 1 am going to support
him again at the approaching August Elec
tions. JNow, IV I r. kmior, I pronounce
the whole of this false, entiiely false; and
the promulgator a bold downright liar
let him be rich or poor, big or little. 1 am
willing to acknowledge that 1 am a poor
man, with a house full of little hddren de
pending upon my daily labor for support
but 1 am too much of a unilorm and consis
tent Democrat to be driven (like a few of
my poor neighbors who are Democrats in
principle and always have been,) to the
polls, and made to vote against my will by
such arisiocraiieal lordlingsof the common
Federal ranks. Yes. Mr. Editor, these
poor men have thus been madp, either to
vote for the "conqueror, Ed. Stanlv, and
other Federalists, or to be turned out of
house and home upon the mercy of the
world, to seek shelter when and wherever
they could for themselves and poor hungri
children. Yes, some have actually ben
tui ned out ot house and home, at the season
of the year when a poor man's opportunity
is any thing out good.
These are facts, sir, which have taken
place in mv own neighborhood, by the now
called Whig, and for which I have proofs
luily lo establish the tacts in bright colors,
easily to be seen with the naked eve. li
makes my heart ache to the very bottom to
know that 1 have such cruel neighbors, a"
to u-esucn diabolical means to compel men
to vote. Whigs, blush to be euiltv of su.-h
British principles; it is enough to bring
scandal and reproach upon yourselves and
your generations. I hese are the ver
principle of the British, a nation 1 have
not yet forgot, who are ready at any time
to deprive us ol our blood-bought libetties
it they believed it possible. I have been
living in this happy land, flowing with
milk and honey, for upwards of forty years.
and have never deviated to the best of my
knowledge from the good old Republican
principles of '76; these are the principles
that 1 have always found combined in the
Democratic party, and when 1 vote contra
ry to ihese principles, I am well worthy
lo bear the name of Tory.
1 will declare in the proenee of an Al
mighty God, that it 1 was a modern Whig,
1 would prefer voting (with the exceptions
ot one or two W big neighbors) for any oth
er man or boy of the Whig ranks, in pref
erence to that braying "conqueror" & high
lariii mdii Ed. Sianly. If any of my neigh
bors alter this are laboring under any
doubts as to how 1 shall vote, let them fol
low me lo the election in August next
when and where 1 shall vote as I always
have done wilh an open ticket which will
be given this year for Arch. H. Arrington
If 1 do not vote for him, then 1 am a tit
subject for the severest reproach. Arch.
II. Arlington is a Democrat and a poor
man s mend, and he will certainly triumph
in August next by a large majority over
the V hig party. His election is ceitain,
buttling for the good cause. His march
will be onward, in spite of all the calumny
that can be raised against, him by the
Whigs. He has hoisted the true flag for
his country, and let it wave over me and
i my humble thatched cottage.
Arch H. Arlington posst sses truly gen
uine Democratic principles of old '76.
which convinces me, that he has sympa
thies lor the poor mechanics and others
who get their bread by the sweat of their
brow. He is a farmer, and his interest is
connected with ours; and there is no doubt
but that it will be faithfully represented in
our national councils by him. Now,
Messrs. W higs, it you will please to let
me and my name alone, I will return to
my saddlery, for you will begin to guess
by ihis lime that 1 am not one of your
youthful converts, nor never have been.
nor never will be; but lo aid you, 1 intend
to rebut with all my feeble energies, your
false misrepiesenlations.
THE SADDLER.
FOR THE TARBORO PRESS.
Mr. Editor: I send you the following
communication to publish in your columns,
for the purpose of denying some falsehoods
raised against me, 1 presume by the Whig
parly. I hope I am a man who has always
sustained a good character,and you will have
no objections in publishing my letter. I
regret very much that I am under the ne
cessity of ever having to defend mysell
through this medium, for I am a poor and
illiterate person, not calculated to pen
down my ideas correctly; yet 1 wish to
sustain my reputation equally as much as
if 1 was high learned and rich. My occu
pation is that ofa saddler, and my political
faith is that of a Democrat: and neither 1
am confident will detract, any thing from
my merits, lor I shall ever remain as such,
unchangeable so long as 1 am able to draw
breath.
I will now proceed, Mr. Editor, to set
fotth some of the false charges raised
against me. 1 have been accused and
wrongfully accused of secretly supporting
