TAUBOttOUIl:
SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1844.
FOR GOVERNOR,
Col. Michael Hoke, of Lincoln.
Mr. Calhoun.
The portion of this gentleman is ex
tremely embarrassing lo his friends. The
public prims are teeming with rumors as
regard his future course He is represen
ted as having written a le'ter to some
friend in VWhirgton Ci v in which he re
nounces and denounces the lialtimore con
vention, and expresses a determination to
set up for hims' If another report is that
he and his friends will refuse lo art with
Hhe Democratic parry, and throw them
selves into the arms of the Whigs.
We cannot will notbelieve any such
rumors, and only give them as a part of the
history of the limes.
We yield to no man in our admiration
of Mr. Calhoun both as a man and a politi
cian indeed we go further and say thai
e consider his principles more perfectly
antagonistic io the dootiines and policy of
the Federal party than those of any man
'living, and a switch we should have been
pleased to see him the opponent of Henry
Clay but public opinion, by sign not to
be mistaken or disregarded, is directed to
wards another individual and we boiv lo
the mandates of the people.
2io man ever occupied a more lofty or
'enviable position helore the American De
mocracy than does Jno. C. Calhoun at the
present time. With a host of warm and
enthusiastic friends, in every section of the
"Union, attached to him both personally
and politically, he has it in his power to
'command the undivided vote ol the Demo
cratic party in '4S, if he will only bide his
time: but should he, contrary to the ad
vice of his true friends, madly iuh into
'the contest and thus jeopardise the Repub
It can ascendancy, his doom is sealed and
'his fall will fee like that of Lucifer's -'never
to rise again."
We have recently converged with one of
the ablest men in the Sth Congressional
District, a warm and enthusiastic friend of
Mr. Calhoun, and we do not hesitate to say
that his opinions on this subject correspond
in every e-scntial particular with our own
Congress The Senate has been prin
cipally engaged with Executive business
and in discussing Mr. McDuffie's bill to
'restore the Compromise Act
The President pro tern laid before the
Senate a communication from'the Trtavury
Department, covering a report from the
Register of the Treasury, made in compli
ance with a resolution of the e mite, of De
cember 19, 1843, as follow: A statement
exhibiting the value ofimports and exports
during the year ending the 30ih Septem

In the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Public Lands have reported
a bill to repeal the Act for the Distribution
'of the proceeds of the sales of Public
'.Lands.
The report of the Committee on Rules
'is still under discussion. The Globe of
'the 19th inst. contains some interesting re
"mai ks of .lodge Saunders on this subject,
which we will insert in our next paper.
(JThe nomination of Mr. Hensl-aw,
to be Secretary of the Navy, was rejected
" by the Senate, the Globe says, by a very
heavy vote.
Treasury Notes. An official statement
by the Register of the Treasury, gives the
. amount of treasury notes ourstanding on
the 1st int , at S3, 375,222,07.
(JTs an evidence of the unusual mild
ness of the winter thus far, we have been
presented by Mr. James Knight, of this
county, with a peach bud nearly in bloom,
plucked from tree on Saturday last.
From the Raleigh Standard.
Death of Judge Gaston! We stop the

ble William (ia-ton, one of the Judges of
Ihe Supreme Com t of North Carolina, lie
pvmrp.l verv suddenly, (at the residence ol
Mrs. Tavlor, in thi. City.) last evening
about eight o'clock.
This is neither the time nor the place for
eulogy; and if it were, ours is not the pen
to atiemnt to do justice to the character ol
the honored dead. The name of Judge
Gaston his political career, and t.is emi
nent judicial services are portions of the
history of the State; and his fame, the
common property of the country, will be
cherished as a iewel of rare lustre and in-
estimable value.

The Words of Wisdom from the lips ofl)hUsm lhe Encycloperlia. finding them
Youth.
We are not acquainted with' the author
of the following Addr -ss. Ke has recent
ly become ihe Editor of the North Carolina
ilarborough Press. Even his name
had never reached us, until we saw it at
the foot of his paper. Hut be he who he
may, he is a man of talents, of generous
aspirations, and ol s rung Republican prin
ciples. We hail him as a member of the
E iitorial corps, and extend to him nms:
coidtally the i iht h nd of f -Mo ship. He
may not obtain succes in the new voyage,
on which he has embarked; but he de
serves it, if his future labors should corres
pond in any degree with the specimen
which is now before us.
Hut what we most admire, is the spirit in
which lie speaks ol the times, and the invo
cations which he addresses to the Democra
cy ot North Caiolina. He is a young man;
but there is no evidence of his years in his
production, exceptthe thrilling enthusiasm
which inspires his addn ss He speaks the
words of i ruth. He advise with the, so
berness of his sage. He recommends in
the strongest manner the necessity of uni
on and ot aciion With ihese two Ses
ame words, we shall unlock the door cf
victory. He is no young man, who will
rush on in the fiery car io the abyss of ruin.
He is no young man to sacrifice his coun
try and her principles to any lalse notions
of honor.. He is not the young man who
because he began with preferring one can-
didate, will continue to pursue his loitunes
to the defeat of his party. He will pursue
no errors, "though they lean to virtue's
side." He is not the youth who will sac
rifice his principles to any particular form
uia of appointing the delegates lo the, Balt
imore Convention. He will not refuse
to support the decided nominee of his par
tv, because that nominee will not happen
to be his first choice. He is not the man
wh will shiver in the wind, or retire sul
kily, like Achilles, to his tent, because the
candidate who is selected against the most
obnoxious politician of the age. should be
supposed to differ with himself on any one
question, oi.ly the tenth part of a hair. Ho'
he will go into the field with all his ener
gies braced, with all his armor harnessed
to his back, prepared to combat with one ol
the greatest demagogues of the times pre
pared to die gloriously, if necessity, in
ihe last ditch, and ready to bear his flag
triumphant into the Citadel, and plant mm
the battlements of tire Constitution! Such a

from Havana to Dec. 23d, have been re

worse and worse every day, and it strikes
me a change must come very soon. The
negroes in the country, give a greal
deal of trouble. They rose a day or tw
ago, upon tne estate of the Aldamas and the

were engaged. Nearly five hundied ne

number of prisoners were taken. The
Americans residing in Mataozas had askeil
