A VOLUNTARIO. .
JFe km man in effigy"
We lore our glorious, happy land,
We love her freedom -and her laws,
We're proud to see tver patriot band
Uphold and vindicate her cause.
We grieve not at the Briton's spleen,
We care not for the monarch's frown;
With agony our march they've seen,
To world-wide glory and renown.
We've met the foe in deadly strife,
And stood where fell our bravest men
We gave our all, our alt of life.
To country dear, nor faltered then.
The battle won, the danger o'er,
How swiftly thought of hardships fly
Before the joyous pride; we bore
Them all like men without a sigh.
Yes, back upon the camp we look,
Self-honored, satisfied and proud;
Yet, there's a hate we cannot brook
'Tis treason in a coward's shroud!
'Tis pity on a heartless tongue,
Religion in a tory's cloak.
To which the enemy have clung,
Their last, their only cherished hope.
Afar off on the Rio Grande,
We prized alone our country's smile;
While foe-beset on every hand,
We pressed along the deep defile.
But when a Corwin's treason came,
What taunts of base and fiendish crime;
We felt, e'en then a nation's shame,
That such men lived at such a time.
And then on Buena Vista high,
The field of glorious victory,
Where many brave hears silent lie,
We burnt that man in effigy!
A monument of blistering scorn,
To meet his eye at every turn,
To haunt his vision night and morn,
Fsrever will that image burn!

appears trie federal aspirants were not sat
isfied with this. They wanted an arrange
ment oi the counties that would give them
mbre members or all, if possible; and
accordingly they went to work in the last
legislature to accomplish their object, and,
in (effect, disfranchise the republican vo
ters in JNorth Carolina. Ar.cnrrlincrlv
hy broke up the old districts, and made
new ones of all manner of sizes, shapes,
an i forms, having no regard to the com
pa :tness of form or the convenience of the
people. For instance, one of these dis
ricts begins on the Tennessee line, west
of pe mountains, and extends east fully
13p miles down the Yadkin river. By
this act of outrage, not only on the rights
of the minority, but on the principles of
the constitution, they succeeded in "gain
ing" thifee more members, and came near
"gfininjg" a fourth; but in all this they
have not gained a single popular vote in
the5 State. On the contrary, all the re
turns show that the days of whigery are
numbered in North Carolina, and that the
unscrupulous leaders of a party that has
sunk into a faction, will soon be called on
to pay the penalty of their manifold sins.
The result in the 9th district only shows
thai the federalists were better drilled
than their opponents.
0n the whole, the republicans of North
Carolina, at no time since their reverse in
1840, have had such fair prospects of suc
cess before them as at the present. The
successful operation of the revenue act of
184$, so contrary to all the predictions of
the federal whigs; the brilliant achieve
ments of our armies in the just and una
voidable war in whieh our country is now
engaged; the "aid and comfort" which all
the the whig leaders are affording to the
comimon enemy by their speeches and
writings; the ability and fidelity with
which President Polk and his cabinet
have administered the government, and
the cohsequent general prosperity of the
country, all are working changes in the
minds of our people, and preparing the
way for the downfall of whigery, and
the re-establishment of republicanism in
the Old North State.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.
To the Editor of the Union: )
1 he representation of North Carolina
in the last Congress consisted oi three feds
and six republicans. In the next it will
be reversed, and consist of six feds and
three republicans. I see that some of the
.ederal papers, are hailing this-hange as a
gloriouswhiggain." In one sense, in
deed, it may be considered a whig gain,
.umucn as n gi ves them three more mem
bers of Congress? but it should be known
that this gain of three membersof Congress
does not come from any gain in the popu
lar vote of the State, The cause of this
change m the political complexion of our
cc-ngresssiana? representation is this. In
the last legislature of North Carolina the
Emigration to California . The
Western Expositor, contains a letter writ
ten by Peter Quivvey, of Jackson county,
Mo., who went out last year with a com
pany of emigrants to California. This let
ter is dated on the 24th of March last, at
lowpr Puebla.
A party of emigrants who went out, or
started,! with Col. Russell, suffered almost
incredible hardships in the mountain, last
winter, having been prevented from cros
sing them by the snow.
This company was composed of twen-ty-three
wagons, and left Indian Creek on
the 13th day of May, 1846. About a
month previous to the date of the letter,
five women and two men arrived at Capt
Johnson's, the first house of the California
settlements, entirely naked, and their feet
frost bitten. They stated that their com
pany had arrived at Tntckey's Lake on
the east side of the mountains, and found
the snow so deep that they could not
travjel. Fearing starvation, sixteen of the
strongest (eleven males and five females)
agreed to start for the settlement on foot
After wandering about a number of days,
bewildered, their provision gave out.
Long hunger made it necessary to cast
lots to jpee who should be sacrificed to
makie food for the rest, but at this time
the weaker began to die, which rendered
the taking of life unnecessary. As they
died, the company went into camp and
made meat ot the dead oouies oi uieir
companions. JNine ot the men a icq, ana
seven were eaten. One of the mew was
carried to Johnson's on the back of an In
dian .
From this statement it would seem that
the women endured the hardships Jjetter
than the inen, as none of them died. The
company left behind numbered sixty
aoulsy ten of them men, the Offers worn

The General Ao;ent is fully prepared to
appoint sub-agents wherever there is no

al application or by mail, post paid. The
rapid sale of these celebrated Pills, and the
extraordinary cures they are constantly ef
fecting, render them, by far, the most pop
ular pill of the age. An Agency will con
sequenily be very valuable.
The Graefenberg pills are inconceivably
superior to any ever before discovered. In
all bilious complaints; in general derange
ment of the system; in all disorders which
result from a bad state of the blood, these
pills are a sovereign remedy.
, In the class of diseases called chronic,
the Graefenberg pills achieve their highest
triumphs. Here they defy all competi
tion. Entering within the hidden recesses
of the system, they quietly but surely pu
rify the blood, root out disease, and give
tone and vigor to the body.
CURES are const zntty EFFECTED
By thee pills, in cases where every other
means had utterly failed, The most abun
dant proof of this could be given, hut a tri
al of one box will convince the paiient.
They can be ordered and sent by mail, at
trifling expense. The price is 25 cents a
box. Where two dollars worth are order
ed and money remitted, the Company will
pay the postage on the pills Remittances
at the Company's risk. Wherever there
is no Agency of the Company, they can be
ordered by mail.
These pills are taking the place of all
others, and no sick person ahould be with
out them.

pepsia, Fever $ Ague, Headache, Jaun-
dice, Liver uompiainis, nneumaiism,
all stomach complaints, green sickness,
&c &c. yield at ooce to these pills. They
purge away offensive humors, arrest the
progress of disease, and at the same time
restore tone and vigor to the system, in
eases of general derangement of the health,
they are sovereign.
BY THEIR USE,
the weak will become strong; the pale and
bilious complexion be restored to a perfect
ly fresh and healthy color; alt the bad
symptoms will one by one disappear.
In snort, these pills are an inconceivable
