disapprove of all threats of its dissolution,

the Sou'h the glory of my country, its
eafety, and Sis prosperity, alike depend on
union; and he who would contemplate its
desrruetion. even for a moment, and form
planVto accomplish it, deserves the deepest
anathpmas of the human race. I believed,
;i'i hplipvp. that the annexation of
Texas would add to its strength, and serve
to perpetuate it for ages yet to come; and
my best efforts, while I remain in office,
will be directed to securing its acquisition,
either now or at a futuie day. Whether
any efforts will avail to secure this object,
since the rejection of the treaty, remains
still to be seen. I abandon all hope upon

the Senate.

may arrest the attention of future and even
remote administrations.but let what I have
said suffice. All that I ask of my country

imnartial comDarison of the condition of

(Election On Monday, 4th Nov. 1844 )
(J"The Democracy of old Edgecombe
"were gratified with a rich and rare treat, on
Tuesday last, at the Court House in this
place. Henri I. Toole, Esq., the Electo
ral candidate for this district, addressed the
fceople in his usual happy and felicitous
Style, briefly and eloquently portraying the
origin of parties in this country, and tra
cing in a masterly manner the tortuous gy
rations the monarchical alias federal.
alias peace, alias national republican, alias
whig, alias coon party had pursued
. yyr ...
in their various euoris ana strata
gems to beguile and mislead the people.
He exposed in glowing colors the uncon
stitutionality and inexpediency of a nation
al bank, and the injurious and blasting ef
fects of the tariff on Soulhefh industry de
monstrating by facts and figures its unjust
and injurious operation on this section of
the Union; and earnestly and eloquently
exhorted the democracy to united and vig
orous action in the approaching presiden
tial contest, as the best and surest means of
obtaining partial telief from their oppres
sive burdens.
In an attempt to reply to Mr. Toole .
Ferdinand Harris, Esq. strained every
power of mind, body, & lungs; iiiteeemed
as if he attached more consequence to the
effort of his voice than any, for it was fre
quently strained to a pitch apparently as un
pleasant to himself as his auditorsa con
test of how much he could endure, of could
be endured from him. Like some ty to learn
ing to play on the clarionet, the greater the
blast the more discord, with occasionally
the accidental touch of ihat key which pro
duces the gander note. A western Leg
islature once elevated to the speaker's chair
,a very worthy man; but one who knew
nothing of his business as speaker. After
calling for the ayes and noes, he proclaim
ed his'o'erision, saying "by the racket the
ayes have it." So we almost exclaimed
during some of his bursts, "by the tack
et Ferd has it." His speech was a
summary of statements which stand stereo
typed in all the whig papers, embellished
aVintervals with some plausible supposi
tion. He made one vigorous effort at an
argument after advancing a favorite pro
position, he undertook with great empha
sis to prove it not by any argument or in
genuity, but "by pompously putting out
his purse and offering to bet J51C0 it
teas so.
We had hoped never again to have wit
nessed the disgusting spectacle of seeing a
public speaker, in a public discussion offer
to sustain himself by a bet or stake of mon
ey, instead of reason and common sense.
The last whig speech made in this place by
Edwai n Stanly, he deliberately offered in
the midst of his speech a bet of SI 000 to
$500; and now Mr. Harris his successor,
repeats this brow-beading specimen of whig
eloquence. It is a proverbial remark, thit
betting is the substitute for arg iment with
the illiterate or the blackguard, and we re
gret that these two whig orators shoOld find
their cause so weak as to condescend to
such a resort. BesiJes the immorality of
betting and its evincing a weak cause, tis
insulting to the community; who when in
vited to listen to a public discussion, should
have bets thrust in their face, instcail of ap
peals to their reason and common sense.
It seems to belong to the party of "all the
decency and morality," for their gi eat whig
candidate for President, Mr. Clay, being a
high better at cards, his more humble fol
lowers are ever ready to play the game of
hrag where by high betting the weakest
hands sometimes win.
The speaking on Tuesday was in pursu
ance of an appointment of the Democratic
Elector, to an almost exclusive democratic
audience; and the Couit adjourned two
hours that the Court House might be used
for that purpose. Yet after the expiration
of that time our democratic Court extend
ed the time to the full opportunity of al
(owing a whig speech in reply, notwith
standing the business of the Court was de
layed; and being State's day, many poor
persons, witnesses and others, Were detain
ed here from their families and daily labor
till next day. And Mr. Harris, with or
dinary generosity should acknowledge the
courtesy extended at such cost, and so
much at variance with the calumnies so
constantly and gratuitously heaped on Edge
combe by whig revilers and slanderers.
Change.
Ever since the nomination of Polk and
Dallas we have had cheering signs of suc
cess from all quarters, particularly as in
stanced in the great changes thioughout
the country. First we heard of whole
hosts of private individuals renouncing
whiggery; then we saw Whig congress
men and Harrison electors themselves join
ing our ranks; and now the great Whig
President himself has come over and de
nounced Henry Clay for his unprincipled
conduct. Who next?
noir, Craven, Jones, Carteret, Wayne, Du-i
plin and Joenston. The proceedings of
the Convention shall appear as soon as they
come to hand. ib.
State Elections. Sixteen members of
the 29lh Congress "have been elected, as
follows: Louisiana, 3 democrats, 1 whig;
Illinois, 6 democrats, 1 whig; Missouri, 5
democrats total, 14 democrats and 2
whigs. The only change, politically, from
the delegations of the same States in the
present Congress, is, a gain of one whig in
Louisiana. In the seven States that have
voted since the nomination of Polk and
Dallas, the democratic gain on the popular
vote in the last Presidential election, is as
follows:
Louisiana, 4,6S0
North Carolina, 9.194
Indiana, 15.695
Illinois, 13,006
Kentucky, 21,373
Alabama, ,480
Missouri, 4,000
74.000
Which is more than ViaUof the entire
whig majority (146,206) at the presiden
tial election in 1S40.

FOR THE TARBORO' PRESS.
Mr. Editor: I embrace with great Satis
faction the opportunity which presents it
self of congratulating you, on the most be
nefieial results which I received from Dal
ley's Magical Pain Extractor. Therefore
I with the most earnest solicitude deem it
necessary to inform you of the favorable
effect received from the application, hoping
that it may be beneficial to the community
at large, to thbse who may feel disposed to
try this invaluable ointment in the follow
ing cases. Being early the present spring
(1M4) afflicted with frequent rMnfcs of the
worst kind, which I termed blood biles, as
t hey from the commencement to the time
they disappeared would be probably some
two or three weeks, some remaining long
er than others, of the most torturing grade;
and having "resorted to all other remedies
that I knew or ever read of, and finding no
relief, until th'ey would finally disappear
and being afflicted recently with a very
large one, much worse than the fornrer,
which was of the most inflammatory and
excruciating pains, 1 resorted to all other
remedies but no avail, it grew worse.
I then resolved to try the pain extractor,
ivhich I spread Very thick on a coat plas
ter; and for the first few hours the pain
was more excruciating than at first, but af
terwards the pain was nearly removed. I
still renewed the plaster, and on the ensu
ing night I rested very well, which I had
not done in several nights before; and
on examining it the next morning, 1 found
it was very soft. I azain renewed the
plaster, and in a few hours it discharged

effect has been held in Philadelphia, who
