Tbe Sumner Affair. In the Senate, on Tuesday, a long de bate on the Sumner affair occurred. Messrs. Slidell and Douglas disclaimed any Knowledge of the contemplated as sault. Mr. Toombs denied being near Mr. Brooks at the time, but approved tJie act. Mr. Butler had just arrived in the city, and said that he should have as sumed all the responsibility which had been taicen hy his gallant relative. He denied in the most emphatic manner the statement of Mr. Sumner, that what he had said in his speech was strictly in response to what Mr. Butler had said on former occasions. He understood that the State of Massachusetts had passed resolutions in reference to the affray, and when those resolutions should be pre sented to the Senate he would speak on the subject as it deserved not a single one of the remarxs, which had been quoted in application to him, w as a re sponse to anything he had said upon the Kansas question. His friends in South Carolina, and some of his friends here, thought that he had been remarkably moderate in the character of his remarks. He had scrupulously avoided saying any thing to violate the courtesies of the Senatorial debates, and spoke neither of the Senator from Massachusetts, to him, or about him. , Mr. Wade said if the principle of as sault were to prevail we must come here armed. Although you are four to one, I am here to meet vou. A man can die in no better cause than in defence of the liberty of speech. Mr. Wilson said the assault was bru tal, cowardly, murderous. Mr. Butler (in his 6eat) You are a liar ! " Mr. Stuart called the Senator to order. He also urged that there was no question before the Senate, and it was evident that the debate was becoming acrimoni ous, and he hoped it might be postponed until the matter could be considered with more calmness. Air. Butler apologized for a word which fell from him in a moment of excitement. - Albert Pike. Tha Camden (Ark.) Herald thus allu des to Albert Pike, recently a promi nent member of the American party in that State : "In Arxansas, where Capt. Pike has spent the best davs of his life, and where he is best known, all admit his genius and ability as a lawyer,and he has many personal friends and admirers, but none, so far as we know, or have heard, have any faith in his ability as a leader, in politics or any thing else. Arsansas contains many monuments of his failures, and those who know hm best regard his leadership of any party as deadly to its prospects as the shades of the upas tree. CaptPike is a citizen of Louisiana, and his defection will not,; in our opinion, affect the American party in Arkansas to the extent of a single vote ; and we thinx Louisana will go for the American party, not withstanding his opposition. An Donor. A very diffident young clergyman, who had been invited to dine with a professional brother, who also kept a young lady's boarding school. He was introduced to a bevy of fairpupils in the drawing room, and among them to a Miss M ; , to whom he said, stam mering: "A a a -a, Mis M a a a 1 I I had the honor of steeping unth your father a short time -lust as we are going to press, a communi cation has reached us from an eye-witness, ?vin? the particulars if the difficulty be tween Messr.

FOR GOVERNOR, JOHN A. GILMER, OF GUILFORD. A CHANGE. Our readers will percieve that the pro prietorship of the Flag has changed hands Mr. James B. Sheltox, the former pro prietor and publisher, having sold and conveyed his entire interest in the con cern to James A. Lono, the Editor and Alphonso W. Ingold, who will continue the publication of the Flag as heretofore- sending it to all the old, and as they hope, to a goodly number of new subscribers. - The Flag will, as heretofore, advocate the principles of the American party, and be published weekly, and sent to subscribers on the same terms, viz $2.00 a year, if paid in advance; $2.50 if paid at the end afsix months; and $3.00, if the payment is delayed to the end of the year. The pa per having changed hands will make no difference with old subscribers, for it will be edited by the same person, assisted by Mr. Inoold, and they will receive it regu larly, for the time for which they have sub scribed, when we trust they will encourage us in our enterprise, ;by. a .renewal of their subscription. All 'the- books and accounts' due to Mr. Shelton for the 'paper, and for advertising have been transferred to the present proprietors and publishers, who are authorized to collect and give receipts for the same ; and all remittances for past dues will hereafter be made to Lono & Inoolo, publishers and proprietors of the Lexington and Yadkin Flag, APOLOGY. In consequence of many circumstances necessarily attendant upon a change and transfer of the paper to an entirely new firm, we trust our readers will excuse the little Extra, which we send them this week in place of our regular issue. The hands have been busily engaged in renovating tbe office aud getting every thjng to its proper place in other words, we have had a reg ular wash-day. And we promise our read ers for the next week, one of the best and neatest numbers that ever issued from the office, and, that from this time our improvement shall be onward. We know that there is great room for improvement, both in the editorial and typographical de partment of the Flag both of which shall be attended to, for while the boys have been cleaning the type, we have been studying the dictionary and taking an occasional peep into old Murray. TO OUR. PATROIVS. For ten long months, as Editor of the Flag, we have held weekly communication with you, which has been very pleasant to us, and we trust not .without pleasure and profit to you. While we Hatter ourselves that the Flag has given general satisfaction to its numerous readers, and while we have recieved many kind words and letterajof commendation, speaking in terms of the highest praise of our efforts in the Ameri can cause, we are not insensible to the fact that, we have come far short of making the Flag what a newspaper publish ed in this eulightened day and in the midst of this intelligent community should be. When scanning our errors, we trust our friends and even our enemies will re fleet that the position of an Editor, although a very responsible one, is also very difficult and trying, and but very few succeed in reaching that degree of perfection and al ways preserving that equanimity of temper to which it should be the aim and desire of every publisher of a paper to attain. A large majority of editors and such is our case -have the care and charge of a family and write and publish, not only from choice and pastime, but that they may be thereby enabled to maintain and educate their families. They are, therefore subject LEXINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE tO 11 the trials and an-rl; nrliUli necessarily to be encountered by every man in like circumstances and are frequenlly compelled to write and make selections for the paper when they are not at all in the humor for such employment, and when their minds are employed rand harrassed with other matters. We re free to confess that w Rave written and; published many ar ticles in the Flagt which, on reflection, we wished had been otherwise thinking; that perhaps we had displayed too much tem perPken rather harshly, or nad written in to careless a manner. Soeh things may ocenr again, but we shall endeavor to guard against all faults as much as oup own weak head and erring hecrt will let ns. We are certain of one thing, and that is, that no- body -ever had a stronger disposition todo right than we have, and, to tell the truth as we are now on the confessional stool we think we have succeeded remarkably well, and that we have neter gone very far astray forf if we have, and are to "be strictly dealt with for onr misdoings, it is awful to contemplate the fate which awaits seme of our brethren of the quill, we could -name, if they arc to have meted out to them the measure of Justice. We have embarked upon the enterprise of publishing a newspaper, because we have a famjly who are near and dear to us, and because it is necessary for their support that "e should be diligent and actively em ployed. We call upon our friends to hold up our hands and come to. our aid, not by contributions we are no beggars for we desire and hope we shall be able to return an equivalent for every thing wc recieve.- Come: to our aid subscribe for our paper. and yon will enable us to support our families, to educate our children and make them I useful members of society, and you will enable us in return, to furnish you and your families with alt the interesting news of the day- to tustili into the young minds and tender and susceptable hearts of your children, pore, noble and patriotic senti ments, and stir up and arc-use within tbem a noble ambition to excel and to make for themselves a name, which shall live in the memory and hearts of their countrymen long after their bodies shall have mouldered into dust. It is the boast:and glory of our government and our institutions that we live in a land' where none are too humble i- v, to have high and holy aspirations, and the history of the past is replete wi th honored names, who have arisen from the lowest walks of life, have graced oar senate cham bers, adorned our pulpits, and who have be come! eminent and distinguished jurists.- And although we are tbe humble editors of a village paper, we trust that there are ma ny boys in our community who now think of .little else than playing marbles and fish ing yet, when they shall hereafter become great and distinguished for their eloquence and wisdom, will feel that they were first stimulated to run the race and strive for the victory because their parents placed in their hands the' Lexington Flag, from which they ?were, encouraged to read, seek infor mation and labor to improve themselves. Is there, then, a man in the county of Da vidson who has the ability, that will refuse to subscribe for a paper which may be the means of doing o-much good, and bestow ing such great blessings upon his children, and which, .under no circumstance, cau.be the instrument of evil. Like the early .and latterl rain, it comes every week, dispen sing jits blessings, spreading peace and cheej-jfulness around the social circle and i, adding zest to every enjoyment, when after the labor and toil of the day is over, the family collect arround the hearth-stonp to enjoy! that rest and refreshment which a kind land beneficieut Providence has so vouchsafed to all the human family in this happy. land of ours. - We know that we differ from many of Our readers in our political sentiments. It can't be otherwise. We can't all think a like, therfore we honestly differ. But we shall endeavor to treat all courteously and "respectfully, and we are happy to number among our readers many of the most wor thy and respectable Democrats of Dayid son and the adjoing counties. And we are glad to learn, that, though they differ with us in iregard to political principles, yet that they are pleased with our paper, andrecieve it as a welcome visitor to their families. May every blessing attend our patrons, and inay the very pleasant communion whicbl has so long existed between us, still conlinne, aud redound, as weMve no doubt it will, to our mutual advantage. We send this Extra to a nom ber of the Stockholders in the N. C. Rail Road. We trust that all who feel an interest in having their stock raised to par value, will forward us their names as subscribers, and that they will encourage us in our efforts to have a Bank interested in building up works of internal improvement. MI THS TbAO. . :r II ANILS. " ' T .-ft Mr. Edito: As one of your subscribers I desire to express to you my gratification at seeing you take so bold a stand in favor of confering nanking privileges on Rail Roads. As you have ot served, I hope this matter will not be. made a party affair, yet I hope there is not arr American who will not give tnis great and important measure his heartv J support in the next canvass, and if our op ponents will not join ns in this reform but hold on to and identify themselves with ex isting systems, and existing institutions. then let the consequences of a diversion on this vital matter be upon their heads. When we look around us, we find that -every other kind of improvement in this country is speedily giving way before rail roads and the iron horse. The Chesepeak, and Ohio eanal that cost $1 5,000,000, 'has been entirely broken dowp by the Ohio and Baltimore rail Road, and its stock is now altogether worthless. Even the great father of waters, the mighty Mississippi is being rapidly stripped of its floating palaces, by the raii roads now constructed on its banks. In other words rail Roads are tbe improve ments of the age, while 'canals, turnpikes and plank roads are fast becoming obsolete. Every State in the Union is rushing into debt to the amount of many millions for such works, and strange to say the more the States become in volcd in debt for rail roads, the more popular do such improvements be come, and the greater the exertions used to induce the legislature to increase the num ber by extending State aid. . Maryland, Pensylvania and Virginia may be cited as examples to pTove this fact. Fortunately for N. C. she is not yet so involved as to burden her people with enormous taxes, Ad here permit me to say that the Ameri can party will fail to discharge its duty to itself and to the country, if it suffers the State to be log-rolled, into such a debt as 'will burden the people with oppressive tax es in the future. To obviate this difficulty, and at the same time give due encourage ment, to works of internal improvement, we must modify our present financial system, by so chartering our banks in future as will cause them to become efficient auxiliaries in this great and glorious cause. I had the pleasure of perusing a communication in a late number of the National Intelligencer, that suggests a plan which I think is welt adapted to secure the ends we so much de sire. You would do vour readers no doubt a favor to look it up and publish it. I can not see any good objection that can be rais ed against the plan therein, set forth, but I can see at a glance many happy results, that would flow from it to the people. With the writer. I feel confident that a bank or ganized as proposed with branches located along th lines of our rail roads and at oth er suitable points, in the State, owned en tirely by the State and, the individual stock holders in our rail roads could not fail to prove highly profitable to the stockholders, not only as a dividend paying bank, but' stilT more profitable in bringing up the stock in our rail roads ta par, and keeping our State debt at home. And what my dear sir conld be more profitable to the people than this? Is there a man, woman or child in the State that is not personally interested in this mat ter? Or is there a tax payer in the State that will not struggle to affect this, object? Seeing when this end is secured, the State can at once be releived from all embarrass ment, and left free to aid the friends of oth er works of improrments, without detriment to the state or oppressing any class of her citizens, we think every patriot should la bor to secure the adoption of such scheme, by the next legislature. I do not profess to be an adept in the banking business, yet I have been connected, in days that are past, with those institutions in other ways than as a stockholder, and if my experience and observation has taught me anything, it is that the business is exceedingly profitable. In fact their is no other way known to mankind, by which so large a tax can be collected from the people without a mur mur of complamt. Consequently we find great exertions made by capitalists, to mon opolize this business, while they are willing to ue all the influence of their wealth and position as citizens and bankers to induce the State to construct rail roads, so long as they can monopolize the business of bank ing.. Every dollar thus expended adds to the dividends of the banks without increas ing their burdens. Who then can blame them for using every exertion to perpetuate the present one-sided and oppressive firran- I cial system of this, otherwise highly favour ed old commonwealth ? And who can 'ex cuse or exonorate ourvlegislators in future if they ?6 not exerf themselves to charter a new State bank on such terms as will make it an efficient fiscal agent for the people as well as the State? We need a bank that will prove a strong auxiliary- in the cause 6, 1856. of internal improvements Und . at the same'timean agent to protect and build up the commerce of North Carolina, and thus en courage every species of industry and enter prise in our land. I have said this for ypnf encouragement, and to express my gratifi cation for the noble stand yon have taken and bid von God-speed in this work of reform. Foksttb The Canr&u. We learn that the candidate of the American party is making a fine impres sion wherever he speaks, that large crowds attended to hear the discussion, and that Mr. Gilmer more than sustains his reputation for ability in debate, and that his defence of the principles of the party is, well received and is having a fine effect. We understand that there was estimated to have been fifteen hun dred persons present to hear the candi dates when they spoke at Asheville and that the crowds was most enthusiastic all the time Mr. Gilmer wa speaking. The people4ire becoming most thorough ly aroused, and we feel confident that they1 will come up Jn such numbers to the support of the American ticket as to give it a triumphant majority in August next.
