his conduct and ability.
Senator Haywood We noticed with
pleasure the honors shown to one of our
Senators in Congress, the Hon. Wm. H.
Haywood, during his recent travel in the
Western part of the State.
The speech delivered by him to the citi
zens of Mecklenburg, who complimented
him with a public dinner, is characterized
by o much good sense, and exhibits, in
such glowing colors the deceptive and rui
nous policy of the Whigs, that we would
gladly grace our columns with it, but for
its length.
The first reading of this Speech satisfied
us of its superior meris, and we know,
if submitted to the reason and fa i r judg
ment of the Whigs themselves, that many
of them would enquire and solve for them
selves the question, "what have we gained
by Whig measures?" and if we had not this
evidence of its merits, the effect produced
on theWhigs, theirdenilnciations and wrath
poured out upon it, and their zealous efforts
to parry and counteract its tflVcts, are con
Vincing proofs, that its blows are felt. Tin
fluttering of wounded pigeons shows the
effective aim of the shot.
The Whig Editors may resort to their
Usual tactics, of abusing and misrepi event
ing both speech and author; but they dare
not republish it, or undertake a fair criti
cism of it. They professed on his election
to be proud of it preferred him to any oth
er Democrat, and before he had taken his
eat, or given the first vote, he is proclaim
ed as an upstart and hypocrite. H is speech '
is denounced as demagogical, without ci

tincture of it. Without attempting to ex-

GREENVILLE, N
September 29th, 1843
"The Commissioners of Greenville have
passed an Ordinance, prohibiting all inter
course, either directly or indirectly, be
tween this place and Washington, for thir
tv days from this date, being sitNfied that
Yellow Fever or some other dangerous
disease prevails there, and have made any
infraction of the ordinance a penalty of
fifty dollars. I mention this to prevent
any of your citizens from getting into dif
ficulty."
Thank you, neighbour, we will try to
shun Greenville, for wehear awful accounts
of the health of that place occasionally!
Hut you have acted right.

Carolina of holding a State Convention to
nominate a candidate for Governor to ap
point delegates to the National Convention,
and to decide upon the manner in which
this State shall be represented, and how
her vote shall be given upon the question
of the Presidency, is now plainly seen and
felt by all. The different counties are has

that there will be such a display of unanim

rious meaning, as indicated by its reference
to the subject he was then speaking f,
frees it from any illiberal or improper mea
ning or bearing. He" was speaking of the
possible dissentions in the Democratic ranks
in the selection of a candidate for the Pres
idency, and the preferences of the party
for different persons and declined to - de
clare any preference himself, because be
ing "the Senator of the party," and not of
any portion or fragment of it, he desired
to encourage no breach, but to keep the
party united; to dictate no choice to others,
Or to take side in the dispute. He prefer
red their union and harmony, and to rep
resent Iheir united counsels. It was in
this sense he called himself Hhe Senator
of his party," and there was no improprie
ty in it.
The Whigs seeing their only chance of
iucce-'S is a division of the Democratic par-y,-try
every means to effect it; and noth
ing would have pleased them better than
for Mr. Haywood to have called himself
the Senator of a part of his party. They
enred not, whether the Van liuren, Cal
houn, or Johnson part. Their fingers ache
to foment a family quarrel among us, and
becatfse Mr. H. is not weak or treacherous-
enough to tubserve their purposes, he is to
be abused. No, Mr. Haywood has all his
life, both in- public and private, beerr a de
Voted Democrat, honest, true, and consist
ent and the great Democralical principles
he has always so zealously sustained, he

his Slate to represent in the great councils
ot ihe country. And we have every con
fidence that the duty will be ably and faith-
nothing, having hut little acquaintance with
its nature.
Our people are many of them out of
town, and our population much thinned.
55 families ha I left from last Friday to' last
Tuesday night, when wfe made up our esti
mate. We indulge the hope, therefore,
that the disease will abate in severity ai
well as extent. I he weather was very
unfavorable the latter part of last week,
but is now quite ihe reverse; this morning
( Wednesday) a fire felt very comfortable.
We h ve heard of no new case since Sun
day, & most of thoe that are now on the
sick list are understood to be convalescent.
We do not think there is that danger in our
friends coming to town as many ap
prehend there is, so we say toour neigh
bors, come along, and get such necessaries
iis you may want.
(TJWhen the Yellow Fever was first
reported to be in this town, about four
weeks since, by Doctor Jesse G. liryan,
a highly esteemed and worthy young gen
tleman of the medical fraternity, the Doc
tor was censured for thus expressing him
self, notwithstanding he confined his opin
ion to those cases-which he was called to
administer to. lie was not only censured
but was the subject of ridicule by some,
and his opinions treated with contempt.
But since the disease has more fully devel
oped itself of it? true color, the inhabitants
generally are disposed to believe that Doc
tor Bryan's opinion was deserving of
equally as much credence as the opinion of
others. He has added no little to his rcpu
tation as a physician, although it has been
done in a way which he undoubtly regrets.
He; would much rather have suffered the
odiuin: of rgnorance, which some have
accused him of, than to have witnessed
the prevalence of a disease so awful in our
mid, slaying down almost daily and with
out warning, ouf mbst vVorthy and enter

little about the moral condition of the De

causes that 'produced ,Mr. Stanly's defeat,
as they do about charity and good will to
their fellow men. Can it be necessary to
Mr. Stanly's vindication, that such wanton
calumnies and malevolent slanders should
be perpetrated against his political oppo
nents? Will nothing quiet the stomachs
of his disappointed supporters, and heal
his wounded pride but the utter prostitu
tion of truth and justice? What a lamenta
ble state of things! How desperate must
that cause be which requires such unwor
thy means for its support. Let these men
beware how they play upon the feelings of
their Democratic fellow citizens, they
may sow the wind but reap the whirl
wind. The "State of Edgecombe" has
taught what the aroused energies of
the Democracy can do. Let them profit
by the lesion. The unflinching yeomanry
of that ever glorious county was on th
tongue of every Whig witling in the dis
trict, compared to "walking brandy bar
rels," crowed over as the conquered, held
up to ridicule in every possible light, and
what was the consecjuence?' A voice of
thunder was heard on the 3rd of August
last, carrying dismay and defeat into the
ranks of their revilers, "the conqueror was

floated in triumph over the district. So
