MR. SHEPARD AT FRANKLIN
TON. Mr. Shepard, the Democratic Candidate
for Governor, spoke at Franklinton on '
Thursday last to about three hundred ner-
sbns, and at Henderson on Friday, to about
four hundred. A gentlemen in Louisburg
has kindly lurnished us with the following
notice of his Speech at Franklinton:
. Mr. Editor: The democratic party at !
length have a candidate for Governor, and
the hopes of the whigs are about to be nip
ped in the bud. Our Hercules has entered
the arena, and well may his honorable op
ponent fear to meet him. He intends to
visit every part of the State, and wherever
he goes the democrats will be aroused and
strengthened. On the 26th ultimo I had
the pleasure of hearing him address some
three hundred citizens at Franklinton De
pot. Whigs and democrats were present,
and all listened with polite attention!
while he discussed briefly but plainly, thej
most important political questions' of the
day. He was intelligent t6 the most.illit
erate, and interesting to the most learned
-eloquent, argumentative, and humorous.
He mentioned his opponent with much
respect, and expressed a wish to have him
present; but his political principles he ex
r , ,.r , , f i ,
nrrrl anri iirnniin(pn n n H nrAcontorl hi&l
r .
with the same. i
He spoke of the President in the most
eloquent and complimentary manner. He
spoke of him as being a son of the Old
North State as a patriot- and as a states
man equal to the task of conducting the
affairs of this great Confederacy; and he
asked with power and emphasis, if the
people of North Carolina would not sustain
his Administration. In fine, Sir, Mr.
Shepard made an admirable speech a
speech that gave greatsatisfaction.' It is
useless to report it at length here -suffice
it to say, that it was sound and able, and
that the people took it home with them,
and will remember it, I hope, at the polls
next August. . May his political tour be
profitable to the democracy of thej State;
may they-come up, a3 I feel certain they
w ,l 33 0013 n iu n.S aUppuri, aim may
a brilliant and glorious victory crown his
powerful and patriotic efforts on the first
u; J
of August. A CITIZEN.
?, We learn that Mr. Shepard was equally
successful' at Henderson, and that his ef
fort there made the most favorable im
pression. We regret we are compelled,
by our want of room, to omit the publica
tion of the notices we have received of it.

CONSTITUTION FOR A NEW SOCIETY.
firaum up by ' Eld. R. M. Newport.
While so many Societies are formed , and
so much pains taken to diffuse the princir
pies of Christianity, and to improve the
morals of mankind abroad, it is considered
a subject of deep regret that there should
be no Society formed whose! aini and ob
ject should be to correct and reform ' their
own individual ylces. Or in other words,
while there is Trio much pains taken by the
numerous Societies, & by benevolent indi
viduals to cast the mole out of their neigh
bors' eyes, there should be so little pains j
taken first to cast me peam out oi meir

zeal in exarainins: their own hearts, and

more like real Christians would they act:

more favorable light would they

appear to
in tine, were a society tor sell examma-
tion formed, and rendered as popular as oui
Temperance and other kindredj Societies
are, it is believed it would go. far toward
i tranquilizing the agitated-elements of soci-
! et at large, and we should have less run-
! ninS l. and fr0 as mendicants, and far less
standing on the corners of the streets arid
thanking God that thev were not like oth-
er men. The following constitution there
fore for such a society is respectfully offer
ed to the public:
Article 1. , lhis society shall be de-
nominated the Self Examining Society,
and shall be composed of members of both
sexes, whose heads and hearts are suscep
tible of moral improvement. i
ArL 2. The object of this society shall
be that while we may see all others' faults,
we shall endeavor to feel and correct our
own. i
Art. 3. All the members of this socie
ty shall be vested with full powers and
privileges to attend to their own concerns,
and they shall consider it their duty to
study and mind their own business and let
other people's business alone.
Art 4, This society shall never ap
point any presidents vice presidents, secre
taries, delegates, spies or committtees to
manage their concerns, nor to watch, over
land make reports of the misdoings of oth-
o '
lers, until such a work of charity shall have

self examining tracts or self examining al
manacs, nor to pay any lawyer or minister
for delivering lectures before us i to con -
vince us how much easier it is to! examine:
others than it is to examine ourselves. -

Art. 7. All the members of this socie
ty sball pay due regard to temperance in
eating and drinking and in every thing
else; but they shall be their own judges as

Art. 12. Good society should not con
sist, exclusively, of the aristocracy of
wealth;' nor be made up". of the aspirants
and zealots of religious and political pro
fessions: it should include the poor who
are honest, intelligent and industrious, as'
well as the rich: nor should that deference'
be overlooked which is due to the laboring
part of the community, to the farmers and
mechanics and all whose labors are a pub-;
lie as well as a private benefit. Tn fine,'
the members of this society shall examine
their own hearts' and lives,- and guard
against those sins that most easily beset
themselves; 'they shall seek to do good
and not evil, to. love and hate not one an
other; all town and neighborhood gossips,
tattlers, talebearers,backbiters and busy boaV
