' ' V ' Mr. Editor : The citizens of Raleigh are all in tommotion about the erection of a new Market ami Town House. Friend is arrayed against friend, broth er against brother, and husband and wife, brother and sister; are getting to loggerheads. I tell you trie timea are growing squally. Last night, I went home to wipper later than usual, and to my astonishment, l found a bevy of ladies of both parties, discussing the all-absorbing question. I soon discovered they were ing btck to another Iarne street, and contemplated, and had contracted to have built tlieireon, a Market: and Town House, two: stories in height the upper story for a Town House. The building to be CO feet long and 18 or 20 feet wide; but as there were oljec lions to the sice, they . had concluded lo buy the other vacant lot adjoining, and enlarge the building so as to be 60 by 24." H As soon as I took my seat, up jumped sister Judy and exclaimed tla ! ha ! ha! Ladies, did you ever: hear of such a ridiculous plan of ornamenting a Town with a long, narrow, ill proportioned buikling--not large enough for a corn crib Why the wind would blow it over ; besides, it would be totally unfit for public meetings. In such a small crowded place, the, speakers would be obliged to use speaking trumpets. It would be. much belter to use the Court House for Town Hall purposes, and stirk to the old Market House until the Town cukl afford to build an elfgant one. As lo the Grog shops, I sny ;let them pay an additional tax for liciis'S. and he ; forbidden to tell liquor to slaves." Down she sat and Mrs. Prudence took the floor: "Mr. President I crave the indulgence of this august assembly for a few momenta, whilst I deliver my opinion I think Sir, a child must creep before he can walk I think, Sir, a person had better wear an old garment, if ho has not the.moiicy to buy a new one, and scuffle anJecon' miso until he can get enough to buy a new one. 1 think, vir, it is better to put up wild a temporary inconvenience, lhan to run head long into debt without si-e.inga prospect of gctting out again. Moreover, Sir, I think ihe world is running crazy about show. Evt-ry thing, iiuw-a-tinys, i for show. I should advice the authorities to economise, and save money, and lay it by, and when we get enough, then will be the lime tojiub-pt Mrs Hobby's plan, which I highly approve of, and now, Mr. Presi dent, if the ladica have done spechfying, lei ufaavc your opinion." j f In answer to the universal cryjof "Mr. President speak speak" I arose and rebarked "Ladies, I feel highly honored at presiding lover such a genteel, intelligent, accomplished and dignified assembly, and I must acknowledge that the ordiors h ive acquitted thcjnselves admirably, and I am Wile embarrassed. I know not how to decide the qtresoil. W itn your pei mission. Ladies, I would reco:n.ieud that we all dis perse, and that the doings of llii meeting be sent to the Rkotsti-R Office for publication, doping thereby that the public will be enlightened. Is this your mind Ladies' ''Agreed agreed unanimous." In obedience lothis request. I new send you this communication. JOHxN HOBBY, Prett. THE REGISTER. "Our's are the plan of fair, deVgJi fful peace.

We publish, to-day, as a part of the History of the times, "Judge Sacndehs' Letter, accepting the nomi nation for, Governor of his party. We are! somewhat astonished to find that the Judge, in casting about to find objections to Gen. Harrisos, PRETTY GOOD. It is not, perhaps, generally known, that Judge Saunders is unable to walk well without the aid of a crutch, in consequence of a slight injury received whilst on his Circuit. This explanation is necessary to understand the following dialogue : W. I sav, what do you think of the Van Buren nomination for Governor 1 V.-.

VAN BUREN AND ABOLITION. The Whig Editors are too modest They employ themselves in knocking down thme of straw set up their adverecujes, instead of carrying the war into Af rica, as Mr. Ritchie would say not the "Thomas Ritchie of North-Carolina" but the real " Veritas sans peur." Thus, theyhre now employed in defend ;r, c-0t U.omsnv from the made-uo charge of be- "14, . - - X - ing an Abolitionist, instead of fixing it, like the shirt of Nessus, on Jiir. Van Bcren. Lqt every dispassion ate, unprejudiced rfeader, peruse the article in this pa per headed" Mr. Van Buren -Abolition the Mis souri Restriction" embracing facts on the best autho rities, and ask himsclf.whatMr.VAN Buhen's PLEDG ES are worth, of -which the Vaii Buren nominee for Governor makes such a parade. ' The party may de nounce Abolition as much as they please, yet they se cretly hope to make Mr. Van Busen President through its-aeans. If they are sof opposed to Abolition, as to be unwilling "to handle the tinclean thing," why should they select for Vice President an individual who declared himself in a public Speech, in frvor of the success of " Abolition Societies,": on the ground that the " destinies of his own children were idsnt'fied with the issue of this question:' When wc hear a party, who choose Martin Van Bcuen and Richard M.

A dc, bate arose on this point, when the Speaker, after some time, s -id he had reconsidered the opiwion he had ex pressed, and decided that the orders of the day were suspended, as we'.l the special order as all others, and that the debate must therefore proceed. From this decision, Mr. Giddings took an appeal, which after being discussed, was withdrawn. Mr. Starkweather then resumed his Speech, with great animation, and continued it till 2 o'clock. Mr. Clifford, of Maine, then rose, and commenced a History of the Election throughout, defending the con duct of the Clerk, and proposed to read as a part of his Speech, the defence which the Clerk himself had pre pared of his course. Some doubts w.re expressed as to the propriety of reading this defence of the Clerk. It was however agreed that it should be read, and the Clerk was directed to read itj After the reading had proceeded for some time, a motion was made to adjourn, which, after some irregular conversation, was carried. should make use of the pitiful one,i that he did not rei- ceivo the vote.-of the Southern States in the Harris Organ of the Medical Department of the Army burg Convention. 1 be objection, to say tne least, is an(j -aYV cf tHe Tjintetl states.

It was in; the same way, that Judge Sauxd kws received the unanimous nomination of the late Con vention.

The Legislature of this State has met and organized by the election of George W. Paters, (Whig,) as Speaker of the House; P. B. Prindle, Clerk; and M. Magowan, Sergeant-at-Arms. In the Senate, Lieutenant Gov. Bradish took the Chair and administered the oath of office to the new Members. In the Senate, a good deal of time was occupied on the disputed boundary between the State of Missouri and the Territory of Iowa, occasioned by a letter ad dressed to the Senate by the Delegate from that Ter ritory. Mr. Walker presented ' a memorial from numerous citizens of Florida, praying for a division of that Ter ritory bv the Suwanee raver, into two States. The memorial was laid on the table. The bill for the occupa Lion of Florida by armed set tiers, underwent further discussion. Mr. Strange op posed the" bill, and Mr. Tappan moved to reconsider it.

An anonymous Correspondent in Wednesday's " Standard'.' is endeavoring to convict us of inconsis tency, because we have hoisted the Harrisos" flag, after contending so zealously for Mr. Clat. We do not like to reply to these masked writers, because we do not know whether to use cannister or grape-seed shot But the writer may spare liimself any further trouble, for we will admit, at once, what he seems 4o be desirous of establishing, viz that, so far as our personal wishes were concerned; we greatly preferred Clat to Hakkibox as our candidate. We will go further. We thought, and still think, tnat Air. lat would run better in North Carolina, than Gen. Hah risow, because his history is better known; but, real ly the satisfaction with which the "nomination of the latter has been received, induces us to hope that the Whigs can carry North- Carolina, even with their sec ond best. "THE RUBICON." This' seems to be a favorite word about Caswell Court House. Proposals are issued for printing a pa per at Yancey ville, to bear this title ; and we recollect, a few years since, at a " Democratic" Festival there, our Senator, Mr. Browx, was toasted "as tne kpbi cot before whom Feds, Nullies, and Biddle-bank men, ' . . ,toff their armor and tremble." Perhaps tne same prolific brain suggested both the Toast and the title. THE NORTHERN MAIL. . i Since the Potomac closed, the Mail is conveyed South by land to Fredericksburg, and does not reach Petersburg till night, where it lies till next morning. So that, until the Steamboats can again run, one day wiH be constantly lost. RATHER SUSPICIOUS. Mr. Cimnus's first act, on sending in his adhesion to Mr. Yaw Bcrex, is to introduce a bill to cede the whnlA of the Public Domain to the new States. Mr. r v mix r, true acted as tne organ oi me Airnuiistrktion, knowing how resolutely bent Mr, Van Buren has been on this policy, ever since he turned his thoughts to the White House.

When the matter will be finally disposed of, no one can undertake to say. The more the case is ex amined,' the more flagitious does the' conduct of the Tory party in their outrage on the rights of N. Jersey appear. So few had the hardihood to suppose that the credentials of the Governor of the State would be seriously disputed, that had the question been taken : the first "week of the Session a largo majority would have sustained the right of the N. Jersey members. All the South Carolina members intended so to do; but the Harrisburg nomination came ; a new gume opened to Calhoun, and he carried nearly the whole delega tion over to the other side. As that :party took sides against the validity of the credentials, the whole body of Loco Focos went with them, ancl thus effectuated the greatest insult that was ever committed against a State of the Union, or against any other independent Government ' H. D. Gilpin, of Pennsylvania, iSolicitor of the Treasury, has been anDointed Attorney General. It j , - i was rumored here, that North-Carolina was to have that sop, but it seems she can be made to wait when the great State of Pennsylvania is to be conciliated. Thus the hopes of all the eager expectants in your State are extinguished for it is said ihcre, that there were-no less than four who aspired toj the office, and had strong hopes that their zeal would be at lengtH rewarded. Alas ! their hopes are blasted. Laughing inghouse. . . In Mobile, Ala., Mr. Isaac R. Hellen, formerly of Beatufort in this State. ?
