TARB0K0CHS SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1844. fOR GOVERNOR, Col. Michael Hoke, ofJjUuoln. Afussipular Abortion. From all accounts the Whig Coon ven tion which assembled in the upper story of "Mrs. Gregory's Hotel in Tarborough on Tuesday, Nov. 28th" was a rich affair. The Whigi generally and the Edgecombe Whiz in particular, do every thing on a magnificent scale. Last summer the "Cor poraPs Guard" met in grave "Consulta tion" at Sparta, to lake into consideration the fate of the Republic! This fall they meet in Convention in Tarboro'. We understand ihere were but ten pres nt all told and half of these, residents of adjacent counties. The upper story, we juppose, is intended to prefigure the ou tness of their principles and the contempt in which they hold the mass. After some 7w-inent" remarks from the chair a committee, of course, was appointed to draft resolutions &c. &c. who retired and thereupon Mr. J no. F. Hughes, ex magis trafe and ais-istant-Marshal, drew from the deep profundity of his "breeches pocket" the grandiloquent resolutions which ap pear in the Register. "Compliments O Dii !) were tendered to the Chairman and Secretary for ihe "able discharge" of the weighty and onerous duties imposed upon them and then the meeting adjourned sine die! baugh! Parluriunt montesfnascitur ridiculus mus. In the House of Representatives, on the' 29th ult. the unfinished business was the memorl-! presented yesterday by Mr. Gid. dings from one William Jones, represen- ling himself to be a prisoner in the United Stales iail of Washington City, born free, . . i i : ,i and now of right tree; wno nau own scitcu in this city without cause, and was now au rertiaed to be sold as a slave, &C. Mr Saunders, of N. C. took ground against the Petitioner. He seemed to think that if he was a freeman he could easily enough prove his freedom, or if he should be sold he could escape, by a writ of habeas cor ous. He susnected that the Petitioner wa. a slave, and found it difficult to prove his freedom, and therefore called upon ton iripsq to interfere in his behalf. After nmr diaettaninn. the nelition was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. On the 2nd inst. the bill to refund the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson, was dts cused at some length. On the 3rd, seve ral Tariff resolutions were introduced and Mr. Duncan of Ohio, a resolution in trnrtinir th committee of Ways and Means to bring in a bill for the re estab lishmznt of the Sub Treasury sys'em. ivhinh was adonled 110 to 58 Oil the 4th. the resolution of Mr. McDowell, re lative to a bill to provide for the wants of the Government economically administer ed, and with discriminations in favor of re venue only, was lost, 84 to 102. From the Democratic Signal. Congressional Committees. In the arrangement of the Congressional committees Mr. McKay has been appoin ted chairman of the committee of Ways and Means. The experience and ability of Mr. McKay and his proverbial watch fulness over the way and means of Con gress particularly recommend him for this responsible and honorable station, and we are gratified that the Democratic party of N. C. has furnished to the Nation al councils so able a champion of the peo ple's interest. In the Senate, our Democratic Senator, Mr. Haywood, has been placed on the three, most laborious committees of that body (committee of Claims Navy and Private Land Claims. ) This is a substan tial compliment to his ability and untiring energy in the performance of public duties. Mr. Mangum knew too well the talent", industry, and zeal which Mr. Haywood al ways brought to the discharge of his duties, not to employ those talents for the public good; more particularly as these stations are by no means conspicuous, and the greatest labor and efficiency in their dis charge" may frequently pass by unobser ved. In reading over the various committees, we were, struck with the very different manner and spirit in which they were or ganized in the Senate fcnd in the House of Representatives The Senate under the control of a Whig President, Mr. Mangum, has appointed no Democrat a- Chairman of any commiitee. Nocommitee has a ma jority of Democrats on it, and some wiih one and two only; while the Senate is nearly equally divided hetween the two parlies, and the elections ihrough the coun try have proclaimed the voice of the peo ple for Democratic measures. On the o'herhand the House of Repre sentatives under the management of Mr. Jones, a Democratic Speaker, has placed some of ihe most important committees un der Whig chairmen, and given the Whigs a much larger influence than the small pro portion of meinher; in the House authori zed. A fair specimen of the impartiality and prosrip'ive feelings of the two par ties. From the Mudisonian. Appointments by the Presidenlhy and twin the advice, and consent of the Sen ate. Abel P.

HOKE'S ACCEPTANCE. We have the pleasure of laying before our readers this week, the acceptance of Col. Michael Hoke, of the nomination by the Democratic Convention, to run as the Democratic Candidate for Governor at the next elections. His letter is merely a res ponse to the unanimous call of the party. We are gratified that he has consented, though at great personal sacrifices, to meet his fellow citizens in different sections of the Stte, dining the Canvass, and discuss before them the various questions which ire likely to agitate Ihe public mind.

Jackson's Fine We are most happy to announce that a bill has passed the House of Representatives by an al most unanimous vote refunding the fine imposed on General Jackson at New Or leans This is one of the measures urged by President Tyler, in his second annual Message. Mr. Tyler has the credit of be ing the first and only President, since the battle of New Orleans, who deemed it pro per to recommend the refunding of the fine. Mudisonian. On Dilsf The Alexandria Gazette nf Thursday states, that lt is said that Mr. Spencer has been nominated for the vacan cy on the bench of the Supreme Court." The Washington Correspondent of the New York Aurora (Tyler paper) states. that Mr. Spencer will be appointed to the vacant seat on the bench of the Supreme Court; Mr. Henshaw will be transferred to the Treasury Department; ami Mr. Wie will be appointed to the Navy Department." Mr. Webster has arrived at Washington.

The horse went home, and Ihe rider was found dead. Another young man, Mr. Frederick Rol lins riding through the woods on Saturday night, 30th, by a sudden .Mart of his horse, was thrown violently against a tree and kil led instantly. Fay Car. Puseyism. As there has been a great deal of talk about "Puseyism, " a new doc trine of Dr. Pusey, of England, we give below a synopsis of the doctrine, from a Southern Journal, without vouching for i s correctness, however: 1. Apostolic succession in both Protes tant and Catholic Churches 2. The regeneration of children by hip lism. ' 3 There is no salvation for those out of the pa'e of Ihe chinch. 4. The authority of the church is highe than t hat of die Stale, and that the sover ign and Senator are bound to submit ti the dictum of the church. 5 The writings of the Fathers are pre feifed lo 1 be narratives of the inspired evangelists and the letters of the apostles. 6 That the Scriptures ought not. to he read by the laity, unless accompanied bv the exposition of their meaning to be found in the hook of Common Prayer. 7. The atnemtnt, requir ing the religion of the heart, is virtually rejected. 8 That religion mainly consists in the observance of forms and ceremonies. 9. Thai the bread and wine in the Sa crament are converted, when consecrated by the rlergy. into the actu.il flesh and blood of Clmst. and that the Sacrament constitutes a kind of continuation of the atonement of Christ on the cross.
