MILLARD FILLMORE.
, Our opponnts, conscious that they can say
.nothing to shake, the confidence of the American
people in-Old Rough and Ready, have opened
their batteries on the Whig candidate for the Vice
Presidency. .
He is, s;iy they, an Abolitionist, a Wilmot Pro
vUionist, and withal a hdrrible Whig. Now, we
deny that he is either an Abolitionist or in favor
' (i r-.i tir:ii. 1, . 1 , ' 1 r
UI ." " ' ? we uemanu 01 our op-
their tactics full well enoitgh' to guard against
them. If bold denunciation, unaccompanied with
one particle of proof, can accomplish their object,
we might as well save ourselves the trouble of a
contest, for they would be sure to succeed. But
when you bring them down to the test of evidence,
it is finite a different thing. As a specimen of ;
their mode of warfare we point to an article in the j
last Richmond Enquirer, in which-an attempt is I
made to fasten on Mr. Fillmore the change of Abo-!
litionhm, because he wished a memorial on the j
suujeci ci sia toy in me x mhci o. o.u.im.a
be printed. Now. when it is remembered how 1
' ,;i !:: kj,...i. .1
inucu uuierirje 01 oihuioii e.iMs. even ill uiie ouuiu,
... i. , - . ,
as to the policy or hearing or rtiusing to near pe- i
titions on the subject of slavery, we think we may
point to the fact of the Enquirer's seizing on these
remarks of Mr. Fillmore as strong proof that the
Editors are 'particularly hard run. Alf'that they
can truly say about Mr. Fillmore is, that he is one
of the sUunchest Whigs in the Union one of the
most popnfar men in the North, and ono of the
ablest men in the country.
' :
W& learn from the " Union" that, " so violent
are the Barnburner presses in the city of New
York, thev scarcelv treat Messrs. Benton Ah-
len. and the other distinguished citizens now on a
visit to the Empire city, with decent respect.
The New Y'ork Evening Post asks Col. Bentox
whether he has come to Piew York 'to propose.
over the grave of Silas TVright, a disgraceful co j
operation with his assassins ? 1 he incw 1 ork
Globe insinuates that the friends and companions
pf (Jen. Cass have gone to New York to establish
the dominion of the slaveholders over free te;ri
tory." . The Editor of the official paper, who is at the
same time '-the head and front" of his party, is
really entiilod to sympathy in the very unpleas
ant predicament in which he is placed just now,
by the headstrong will of these same 'Barnburn

FOR GOVERNOR,
CHARLES MANLY, of Raleigh.
O TO THE PUBLIC. XB
The present Xo. of the Noeth Caeolixa Time's is j
distributed very freely, to all to whom we have op
portunity to send it. We hope the Public will ex1
amine it candidly, and if they think we can be of
good service to the Whig cause, (which is the
cause of tho country,) as we pledge ourselves to
endeavor to be, with energetic industry, we hope
for the encouragement and patronage of the Whigs
of North Carolina. OurTerms will bo found in
our Prospectus, published in this day's paper. To
all who may subscribe hereafter, we will send the
back Nos. as long as any remain on hand.
in- TO OUR EXCHANGES.
We request all with whom we exchange, to no
tice the change of location, and send our papers
to RALEIGH. Some of our exchanges have done
so with promptitude, for which they will please
accept our thanks but as yet, we miss many of l
our valued friends and visitors. Will they please i
alter our address on. their Direction books?
A part of this issue is printed upon paper in-
fjr;or to that we contemplate using. Our paper
-had not arrived in time, and rather than delay the
No. we print on such as we could get. Our sub
scribers shall have no cause of complaint in this
respect.
: CANDIDATES IN FRANKLIN.
In this County n the Senate, John E. Thomas
(Whig) opposes the Democratic Candidate, James
Collins, and will run him to the throat-latch. In
tlie Commons, a fefeular scramble, a " war of tlie
Kilkenny Cats" will come OtTin August, letween
William K. Martin, David' W. Spivey, Jos. Jno.
Jones and Wm. M. B. Arendell -all Locofocos.
This will be a very pretty fight but, we think the
two last, who. are opposing, or independent candid
ates, may run in over the devil-may-care Loco
focos, who were first inthe field, as tlie corner-of-
the-ferice nominees. We. will watch them by and j
bye; The Franklin stump will be very amusing !
this Summer. Old Zack will have a finger in the
pie, and make the Locofocosrtf.
THE MEETING ON TUESDAY.
Tlie large and enthusiastic meeting of Wliiors
on Tuesday night, in this City, (of which the
official account will be found in 'our columns to
day.) like those of which we have seen the pro
ceedings all over the Union, must put to flight the
silly cant of our Democratic opponents about di
vision in the Whig ranksj and disaffection with the
nomination ofGeneralTATLOR. The Whigs every

one moment, that any Whig, any where, will vote j
for Lewis Cass the ultra progressive Democrat, j
the Mexican Itocofoco, who goes for "swaltowing
only of plunging us into continual foreign, but also
civil, war the bloodiest curse tor which poor hu
manity, in any country, was ever subjected. We
say no one supposes any such thing although, for
the sake of effect, and to slur up Uieir own divk- '
ions, some such impression is sought to be pro- !
ducod by the Democratic press on how' poor a '
foundation, so far as this City is concerned, the
meeting we allude to clearly shows. i

Our readers all know, before they receive this
sheet that the labors of the Whig Conven.ion have i
closed,; and that
GENERAL ZACHARY TAYLOR,
! OF "LOUISIANA,
heads the People's Ticket for President. Our rea
ders all know, too, that w3 have our choice. We
love as well as admire this old Hero. Hi life has
been spent in tlie service of diis country a life of
self-denial; and of patriotic exertions ; and we have
seen him, forgetful of self, with true modesty, and
ingenuous, simple fidelity to his comrades, disclaim
for himself the glorious honors of a most brilliant
campaign, that he might - heap them upojn those
who acted under his orders, arid moved by his di
rection. In every light in which we can jcontem-
plate hU character, whether in the blaz? pf glory
and the career of victory, or sulleiing under the
frowns of Executive displeasure, jealous of his fame
and the hold he was taking, upon the hearts of his
countrymen, we see the same inherent dignity and
solidity, the same massy greatness, the same noble
and lofty bearing-neither elevatod by the glory he
has won, nor depressed by the inaction to which
he was condemned. He stands before the country
still, tihe same simple, true-hearted hero and patriot
appealing from the Administration .to the people,
with a trusting confidence that he will receive jus
tice at their hands.
It is 'true, that we were pledged to support the
Whigj National Convention. The members of that
body jwere wiser ihan we they came fresh from
the people, they kn'w their feelings and their wish
es, and it was right the y should respect them. We
had committed the choice of our candidate into
their liands. Had' Henry Clay or General Scott,
or any other distinguished Whig received the nom
lnation, we should have puccriuny surrenaerea our

whole ground, had acted wisely, and for the best.
ye
are much mistaken if this is not the proper
course for every true Whig to pursue. We cannot
hope for success without unanimity : every where
the Whig party are rallying upon the nomine?;
and we have no fear but that, in North-Carolina,
we shall present an undivided front, standing upon
the broad platform of the Constitution, supported by 1
all its guaranties and compromises, grieved by on
croachtnents upon, and violations, of it,, by Ithe men '
in power, and solicitous to restore its inviolability
and purity of administration in our National Gov

CASTING THE FIRST STONE.
The last Standard raises the cry of " Military
Chieftain" a (Tiii n?t Gpnprl Tavior If wa mwtt ha 1
not, the Editor was a member of the Baltimore Con-
vention which nominated two "Military Chieftains"
upon the Democratic Ticket, General Cass and
General Butler, the military services of both of
whom. We expect to hea Kim extol to the kiea
although as tho wholfi world knows thir .rlrio.
' will become pale and dim, when compared with the
- j lustrous and splendid fame of General Zachary
Tavior. But is there not
something peculiarly
new, interesting and wonderful, in the ingenious
j discovery, that, while the election of one " Military
, Chieftain'" is dangerous, the election of two is harm
, less ? Commend us to the Standard for brightness
' and originality, alway?. That " Military Chi ?.f
; tain," General Taylcr! Oh, tho danger! He's
such a terrible fellow. But' those meek. -and
