It is 'ratiior remarkable, that there can be no Whip paper in Raleigh, but what is controlled by Mr. Hadwr. In every attack ii.-on the press here, it is thought necessary to do injustice; not only tp curability ami independence, but to Mr. Badger, by charging that he coutrolj and dictates our eourse. The Newbr.rh Republican and Ilillsboro' Democrat point to tlie Register as the peculiar or gan of Mr. Badger their ally of the Hornet's Nest insinuates tliat The Times is dictated toby , Nr. Badger ; and thereupon he soft soaps tlie Reg ister and abuses ns. How foolish and idle all this the importance of this controversy demands..

Il would suit him, we have no doubt, in his fondness for "words, words, words," to have us battle this matter in his '' milk and water style" for months. We have no idea of any such thing we choose to set tle it explicitly and conclusively, and therefore c.'iac'i all tip's part of the argument at on,.e, tind have done with it. It will now be seen who will j.rmr his words by his deeds. ' - UNE PETITE GUERRE. ;V ; . The Editor of the Roanoko Republican, who sneered at Govs. Swain and Graham for their noble and patriotic exertions in behalf of the Cen tral Railroad project, bestows half a column upon us, in' his last paper, as but the beginning of trou ble the aiant-coarier of his wrath. Wa have fallen under his displeasure for venturing to re monstrate against liis cavalier treatment of these distinguished gtntlemen, and for deprecating his opposition to the improvement of the State. For who can look at. North Carolina, powerful in her physical resources, and abounding in the means gain allude insidiously tq its nature, as an'" en comium upon the Raleigh Register.1" In exposing this wretched piece of Chicanery to the worlds we ate only doing towards our neighbor as we would bedone by :-and we copy the article alluded to, to sweep away from these plotters eve ry ves'ige of foundation for their. lit rrlfio outcry and complaint. We have before u tlie Anti Sla very Standard of August 30, in which we find this " Pandora's box," as follows. : ;' It give us great satisfaction to copy an arti cle so unusually free from pro-Slavery fanaticism and cant as this which billows from tlie Raleigh (N. C.) Register." - That is the whole of It. And what, now, does the public suppose, from the outcry that has beet) raised, follows this brief heading in the Anti Sla very Standard? The readers of the Hornet's Nest suppose, no doubt, that it is a piece in favor of Abolition, at the least, or else an article on the subject of Slavery containing concessions to the North. Nothing of the kind. An article from the Register of August 15th,on the " Espionage of the Mails" is copied and this brief expression above, is the monstrous " encomium," " compli ment," or what you will, of which such a myste rious raw-lvud and Moody-bones has been made ! Verily, the Hornet's Nest and his correspondent have the smallest political capital .to trade on of any people we aro acquainted with. J same Editor, makes an' empty boast of his own independence, while denying it to us, accompanied with the meanest kind of insinuation. "Never in the worluVhe says) would we submit to dictation. Never. Ve cannot be badgered out of our inde pendenco," &.c. Reply to such an infamous at' tack would degrade us to a level with the parasite who makes it. .. , The position he assigns us, that of " perfect in difJerence" to the question of Slavery j how far from the truth how full of misrepresentation ! Because we refuse to aid in the quixottic 3J1cn.es of South Carolina N.ulliflen, who complain of the Wihnot Proviso as a great and crowning evil jus tifying Disunion, our position is therefore one of ' perfect indiflvrence" to the question of Slavery ! Therefore we are a Free soiler ! Therefore we re unsound thx tlie Slavery question! Admirable logician ! ' But where Joes he get this attitude of " perfect Indifference V We have been discussing the sub ject for six months our views are well known to the public our readers are satisfied with those views they have soon us assume no such atti tude. Where does the Editor of the Hornet's Nest get it? It is simply a u Lippard's legend" and has no foundation in fact at all just such as might be expected from Lippard's admirer and humble imitator, J, Lawrence fl("W, Editor of the Horn et's Nest. " '. ' - But suppose the Wilmot Proviso be constitution al, the Hornet's Nest nian's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, and Congress chooses to pass it will the Hornet's Nest assert that it is a mark of soundness on the Slavery question to call on South ern men to rc.vi.si the law of the land t If so, why did not J. Lawrence Badger, who we believe was n Edi'.or when it did pass and was approved by Mr. Polk, show his soundness in that mode ? Did we hear his trumpet call ? did he eveu whimper resistance Nothing of the sort. This watchful guardian, this sound Southern Editor slept upon his post did not wake up until the danger overtook nd passed over him the odious principle was fas tened u pon us a nd upon the country while he slum bered ho stood all the humiliation, even to the bullet, and turned bis cheek to tho smite r, until new Southern Whig President came in and then he wakes up with flushed face and threat- ring brow dares tlie passage of tho Wilmot Pro viso again, and recommends resistance in tlie bare anticipation that it may become the law of the land. But, alas! alas! what must be thought of the bully under General Taylor, who slept so soundly for Mr. Polk J Wonis cost as little then, as now, yet they were unspoken resistance was more feasible then than now, for Mr. Polk was not Zack Taylor Jet no cry of resistance was raised. The Editor is sounder, we suppose, than he was then, and hence his fiery zeal, his chivalric ardor, his warm Southern glow of patriotism his peal ing war-cry of resistance which he thinks is to arouse the land, and array the South in sectional hostility against the North on this question. . . Deprecating every thing of the sort, oursclf, we can see nothing but mischief in such agitation.' The Northern people are wrong for wishing to force this unnecessary abstraction, called the Wil mot Proviso, upon us but that a serious National contention should grow out of it, would be the su premacy of imprudence and folly and we cannot regard him as a friend to the Union of the States who counsel er promotes such contention. When IliU Union is dissolved, it will be for something touching mor.' nearly the interests of the South something which will kill party spirit, nnd bind each Southern man to each with hooks of steel Until the aggressors be forced tc pause in their mad and fanatical career, awed by the majestic and U' nited voice of the entire South. Who will be the cratens, then 7 Our word for it, those who talk so fierce and taastingly now ! Those who prate so loudly witen the battle is far off those who bring such bravo words off of weak and delicate stomachs, " in this piping time of peace," will then be the first to hide their diminished heads in any safe refnge from the angry storm j and leave jo men cf cool, calm, calculating courage, whose principle is to " beware of entrance-to a quarrel," to bear the brunt and save our Southern honor, We do not deem it necessary to proce our devo tion to the interests of tlie South by words, Our Whole life may answer for that. We live within a hundred yards pf the' spot shore we were born; od many neighbors and friend sre here, who have kno'r us always, 'f But diir public course as anE'Iito "mayspeak; for- u; slid that will lamp dl intimations against the integrity of our Southern principles, with the brand of shameless slander.

It is a large and lofty State pride they manifest not confined to a sec tion, or sectional interest. They are Statesmen, who see in the successful completion of this Great Work, the commencement of a system which is to extend its facilities and its benefits to every part of our State, and give every where renewed life to trade, encouragement to industry, employment to the mechanic and laborer furnish a market to the producer, the manufacturer, and the trader and diffuse comfort and plenty among every class of our population. These objects this greatness this prosperity attained by other States, it now Within our reach and who forbids our stretching forth our hands to grasp the glittering priae T A son of North Carolina, the Editor of the Republican calls himself and why should he oppose a measure so, intimately connected with her vital interests? Or does he desire her to be always tributary ? drained by Virginia on tho North, and South Car oliua in the opposite direction t Or what does he propose for his native State 1 We await the de velopment. He will go fully into, this matter of tlie Central Railroad" in his next. The Editor's personalities are beneath our no tice a remark or two, however, upon one point. He informs us that he has worked longer in " the Whig ranks" than we have-i-B whsre the Times numbers months, the Republican number years." Well, the Editor has the advantage in age, we al low we are willing to concede him dotage, if weakness be any sign. But his position in " the Whig ranks" is something equivocal, until he for gets how to sneeze when John C. Calhoun lakes snuff; or until he leams how to stand still when John Reeves Jones Daniel moves his finger. A faithful soldier in " the Whig ranks" will hardly be ambitious to strike hand in glove with either. The Weldm Herald is the sharer of our misfor tune in encountering the fiery anger of his neigh bor : who makes no bones of imputing interested motives to that print. Is the Editor of the Repub lican quite sure that he does not live " in a glass house 7" It may turn out that he la hardly safe in throwing stones. . But, in this cause, with a heart nefved for any fate, we must even abide the coming vengeance. The storm will Bweep over us next week : when we recover breath and strength, wo shall endeavor to report progress to our readers:. our right hand will forget its cunning, before we prove false cither to tht Whig Party, or to North Carolina I . IT' The Editor of the Standard, in his last week's paper, makes very solicitous inquiries about Mr. Mamgum manifesting an interest no doubt insi dious, if not wholly impertinent. ' Without stop ping, however, to inquire . into, or to impugn, his motive, we take leave to remark, that much vague and nameless calumny respecting this gentleman, has, by some means, been set afloat, undeserving the attention of any honorable and high-minded man, as well as unjust to the character of this highly distinguished Statesman and Senator. Why any one, unacquainted with his business and private relations, should make a subject of remark his residence at tlie North for some three or four months during the Summer, we are at a loss to perceive but the cowardice of attacking liis mor al character, in his absence, by indefinite and co vert insinuations, should excite only emotions of disgust and contempt. ; But we all know that age and reputation, however dignified the first, or elevated tho last, protect no one from the malig nant gossip of slanderous tongues, which strike at tlie fairest virtue, as envious jealousy will seek to pull down the brightest fame. Senator Margum will be injured by none of this his best defence will always be found in the generous bosoms of the citizens of the Old North State, who admire and appreciate his. splendid talents, and. feel that he reflects honor upon their State by his distin guished services. n A LEIGH, October si, 18-19. The Internal Improvement Association for the County of Wake met this ever.ing at the Coiirt IIou6e, at the usual hour, agreeably to adjourn ment. Tlie President called the meeting to order, and, after lite proceedings of tlw last meetinj were read, it being understood that Ex-Gov'rs. Graham, Morohead, and Swain were in the City, and would, it invited, probably favor the meeting' With their presence, on motion a Committee was appointed to wait on llieso gentlemen, and request them to attend and address the meeting. Soon after, tlie Committee returned, accompanied by these gentle men ) and, on being introduced to tho meeting by tho President, Gov. Morehead, being first called out proceeded to address the large audience on the Central Railroad Scheme, in a speech of great elo quence and power, in which he fully demonstrated the practicability of this great work. Gov. Swain, likewise, in a speech of unsurpass ed ability and power, convinced, it is believed, eve ry one present that this Road ought and must be built ; and tlf.it its construction is essential to the best interests of North Carolina. The following gentlemen responded to the call and came forward and subscribed lor stock in the Road, viz: Gov, Morehead, $10,000 . iov. Swain, 10,000 . Charles L. Hinton, 10,000 Dr. J. O.

At one time we were under serious apprehensions that the next tidings wo should get from the Union would be, that its senior Editor was under treatment at a certain Asylum in Staunton.

HOW TO SAVE IN WASHING. Tlie following paragraph was clipped from the Alabama Beacon. ; We learn that it has been tried in this City successfully. It is quite econ omical, saving both labor and fuel ; and it is said that by this method one woman can wash as many clothes in one day as two can iron in two days: All who wish to savetgive it a trial : "IMPORTANT To cleak Clothes winiotrf Washixg. Take six parts spirits of turpentine and one of spirits of hartshorn ; shake them well, so as to mix them thoroughly beibra using ; put six table-spoonfuls to a large tub full of hot soap suds ; let the clothes remain in the suds for twenty-live minutes, stirring them occasionally ; rinse them in cold water, and finally scald them in hot water." ' , MARYLAND. The Representation jn Congress stands three Whigs and three Locos a Whig loss of one. In the Legislature the Whigs have seven ma jority in tho Senate. In the House, in the coun ties beard from, the Whigs have 38, and the Locos 34 three counties, Somerset, Charles and St. Mary's which send 10 to be heard from. They were represented by Whigs last year and no doubt will be again. But without either of them, the Whigs would have a majority on joint ballot. GEORGIA ELECTION. . -Transmitted to tlte Baltimore American. Macon, Ga., Oct. 6. We. have returns from 74 counties out of 93 in the State. Towns, the Democratic candidate and present Gubernaioral incumbent, will undoubtly be elected Governor by a majority of 3000 certainly and probably more. The State Senate is Democratic beyond all doubt an J possibly the House. The Democrats will cer tainly have a majority on joint ballot. Bai.tore, Oct. 8. '..We have now authentic returns from all the counties in Maryland except Worcester, and there was no opposition there to the Whig ticket. Such being tlie case, the House nf Delegates will stand as follows, compared with the1 t election in 1847: In 1847 Whigs 57, Locofocos 26, In 1849 Whigs 47, Locofocos 35. This gives the Whigs a majority of 12 in the House. The Senate stands 14 Whigs and 7 Lo cofocos, making the Whig majority, on joint bal lot, 19. The distinguished American author, Edgar A. Poe, died in this city yesterday morning, of con gestion of the brain, after ah illness of Seven days. Thus, in the 38th year of his age, has gone down to an early grave one who ranked high amoiig the literati of his country1. Those who have read and admired his beautiful productions will regret that the author of them now steeps in death ; that his poetical harp is unstrung forever, and that his ge nius no more can administer to intellectual delight. The health of our city continues excellent; there were only eighty-nine deaths last week. The flour market is quiet. Howard street held at $5 12 ; sales of City Mills at $5 12$. Red wheat 102 a 105 cents j white 108 a 114 cents. Sales white corn at 62 a 63 cents ; and yellow 64 cents. THE FRENCH QUESTION. There is no sort of necessity for a coll ision be tween the governments of France and the United States growing out of thisquestion-unlcss France is determined to have a tilt with us at any rate. The au thority of Judge Kent settles this point; and we append it for the information of the reader : " If ambassadors should be so regardless of the object of their privileges as to in?ult, openly attack the, laws or government of a nation to whom they areient, their functions may be suspended by a refusal to treat with them, or application can be made to their own sovereign for their recall, or they may be dismissed, and required to depart within a reasonable time. We have had instan. ces within our own times, of all these modes of dealing with ministers who Rave given offence, and it is not denied thai et ery government has a perfect rigid to judge for itself whether the language or con duct of a foreign minister be admissible." Kent's Commentaries on the Law of N atiov-s. chap, ii., sectiou " Ambassadors." A SHALLOW TRICK. Our readers will recollect, that tho correspon dent of the Hornet's Nest, who signed himself "A True Whig," expressed himself completely horri fied that the Register had been complimented by tlie Ami Slavery Standard. Nothing can show more palpably the settled design to injure the Ra leigh press out West, than the outcry thus elabo rately raised, and still mysteriously kept up by the Hornet's Nest, and his correspondent, upon this subject. The ttfea being once started, the Standard opened upon it in full cry, and most lovingly soli cited the Co-operation of his new found allies, that he might be placed, in possession of the precious document which they had discovered j and Which was so full of direful forebodings of evil, as to a rouse tlie dismal lamentations of "A True Whig," and kindle the fierce Indignation of the Editor of the Hornet's Nest against the Raleigh press, the Raleigh Clique, and Central and Eastern influx nee, and all the other imaginative figmentSj with which his half-crazy brain so prolifically teems. We appeal to our readers if candor honesty, justice, Would not seem to' rmjuire that those in whose possession the compliment was, should let the public see it, In all it horrors, that if tliere were Ireasnn, abolitionism, or any other Vila and abominable ism in it, It might be guarded against.

The Governor and hisMinistry have decided on removing tlie seat of Government from Montreal to Toronto. The reason, the manner and the effect of this movement will all tell, with tremendous force, not only against the present Provincial Gov ernment hut against the Imperial Government which supports it It is unquestionably an act of resentment against the people of Montreal for their treatment of Lord Elgin. And it will inflict seri ous injury upon nearly every class of the inhabi tants of Montreal, who have shaped their business and made ill their arrangements with direct refer ence to that city being the capital of the province It strikes, moreover, a severe blow at the Govern ment party. The whole difficulty has arisen out of the attempt of Lord Elgin to carry on the gov ernment in accordance with the supposed wishes of a majority of the people. The French control and in fact compose, that majority ; andlbey have accordingly formed and do now form the govern ment party in the Province. But Lower Canada ii the section where they reside. Their whole strength and all their interests lie there. In re moving the Capitol, therefore, from Lower Canada Lord Elgin inflicts serious injury upon his own par ty. They are in fact the principal sufferers by the movement. , . .. Every step which the government of Canada takes, seems to plunge it still further in peril and embarrassment Lord Elgin first alienated the loyalists of Canada by tha bill to compensate re bel losses ; and now ho has taken the most effect ual step possible td alienate the remaining popula tion of tlie province. Our correspondent's letter, which we published yesterday, sett forth very clearly and forcibly the state of public feeling in Montreal upon the receipt of the rumor that the capitol would be removed. ' What effect its actual removal will have, will soon be seen. Under pres ent prospects and existing management, we do not believe it will be possible tot England tp retain the Canadaa for three years longer. - - i ' JV. Y. Couf. and fotj.
