SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1847. - -Town Officer. On Monday last, Wm.

Gek. Hawkins Trite Raleigh Star. 'iy.Up.the following from the Raleigh .Star of the 3lst March: "The "Press" does Gen. Hawkins in justice, i He was forced to declare him self by the underhanded attempt of "other spirants' to set aside his claims altogeth er; vhich is proved bythe fact that a cau cus of the members from the counties com posing the district was held in some corn cr in Raleigh soon after the passage of the redistrictinglaw, to consult and scheme s to k who, should be the candidiate; from -which .Gen. fawkins and. the whale 4Vartcn delegation fas we learn ) mere excluded"! . Gen. H. therefore, as any man xil spit-it would have done, immediately announced himself as a candidate." - NoW we pronounce this whole state ment false from "beginning to end. Theie is not a particle of truth in it, and we must express our surprise that Mr. L.emay should assert, tvith so much positiveness, what exists only in his imagination. We -are authorized by the delegation from this 'county to say, that no such "caucus" was ever heldif it was' thev were not Drivv to it and of course were "excluded" to gether with "the whole Warren delega tion."

Bl 'see that Perrin Husbee, Esq; is an nounced in the Standard as a candidate for 'Congress subject to ihe decision of the Democratic Convention: This is nut so $ad as coming out ;0n his own hook, but I would rather he hacl awaited the' decision -01 ne- convention.

Allow ine, however to add, that there Sis one nan who in my opinion deserves the no nination Jrom the hands of the Con-t-entio l before any other, who has more than any other man in the district saenh- ced his time and talents for the benefit vi the democratic party. Need I say that I refer lo JAMES B: SHEPARD, Esq. Vnr wha t nurnose did he make a ted ious and expensive campaign last year, as candidate for G ovemor, when his party was inj a large minority and there could be no possible hope of success, except from I fn the neonle? It was the action of a natriot. he desired to spreaq those great principles of our gov ernment, which the federalists are endea voring to put down and the democrats to uphold, Mr. S. was willing to forego all personal considerations for the benefit of the democratic party. I do not know that Mr. Shepard desires, this nomination, and indeed I doubt whether he will accept it; hut if h -'will nnrenr it. he deserves it and ourprty cannot! have a more fearless champion in the House of Representatives.

Naval Stores. For the last six weeks ' our ' water courses have been in a better state for bringing Turpentine to 'market than for a long time previous. The con -sequence is that receipts have tor the last month, been somewhat heavy, mjared with the previous month. It is supposed by the agents for the sale of the raw mate rial) that there is not more than 15,000 or 20,000 barrels more, of the old crop, to arrive. The crop for the last year has been considerably short of the previous yearns. This we believe' -tct beX owing to the j fact that a number of distilleries have gone in to operation ' in the country, which n hats prevented a large' portion of the raw ma terial from reaching this market that would otherwise have been received here.
