HEARING IN NAvIMALs.--Cals aud dogs
can hear the movements Of their prey a.
incredible distances, and that even in the
midst of noise, which we should have
thought would have overpowered such ef-
fccts. Rabbits, when alarmed for r,ibly
strike the earth with their feet, by the vi
bration of which they communicate thcir
approximations to burrows very remote. As
an instance of the discriminating power of
the ear of the elephant, we may mention a
circumstance that occurred in The meniora-
BILE conflict of shooting the ma dened Gle
phant at Exeter Change. After the sol
dicrs had discharged thirty balls, he stopped
and deliberately sunk on his i,aunchcS.-
Mr. Herring, conceiving that a shot had
struck him in vital part, cried out he's
down boys! he's down. aud so he was, only
! for moment. FIc leapt up with renewed
viSor, and at leas, eighty balls were sue
, cessively discharged at him from different
positions. before he fell a second time
Previous to this he had nearly brolsh, down
the building Of Exeter Change, Gy his ru-
rious lungcs, flying round his den will, the

fnE FEDERAL Candidate.

We asseucd IN cur last that Mr. PEBBLES was
The Federal candidate. On tins, the Argus Joins
issue with us, Inmatcs denial of our assertion
and declares that It is not aware Of the existence
Of " federal party . in The County Let us see
how the the matter stands, and which is rlpht.
All, we believe, will admit that there arc pro.
perry bot two parties in our couutry--RopubIca
and Federal. There may be some subdivisions
in these partos and slight differences of opinion
among the members Of each, but still tho line is
plainly and distinctly drawn. Now, AIr Butler
and Mr. PEBBLES arc opposing candidates brought
out by two different parties, and supported en-
tircly upon political grounds, both the gentlemen
being altogether unexceptionablc in lho4 private
character, and both well qualified to represent The
county. OF course, one Of them must be Tie
Republican. and the Other The Federal candidate.
What is the great line Of distinction between
these two parties As admitted by ALL strict
or liberal construction of the federal cons,itn- |
ton. On which side of this line do each of these
gentlemen, and the party which supports him,
stand! Let few facts answer.
Mr Butler and his friends ale opposed 10 i !
National Bank, because hey think a strict con, |
s'uctlon Of the constitution does not Justify such
an institution
Mr. PEBBLES and his friends arc in Glvor Of a
National Bank, and would stretch the powers of
the federal government SO as TO make it consti-
tutional.
Mr. Butler is opposed to Henry Clay on ac-
count OF his bank tariff, and internal improve
mcnt opinions, all implying a liberal construction
Ct tho constitution,
MI PEBBLES and a majority Of his friends arc
in favor Of Henry Clay.
The recent Address Of the Republican mem.
bers of Congress, omhodyng as all must admit,
the genuine doctrines Of the Republican party Of
'ss, IS cordially approved Of by Mr. Butler and
his friends. The arguments advanced, and the
measures advocated in that Address, are de
nouncod by the patty here who support Mr. Pee |
blcs, IN the same manner as Mr. Madison's Re-.
po't OF '99 was denounced by the cdoralists Of
that day
lhese arc IncontroTrrt,blo facts, and clearly
show that Mr. Peoples is he federal candidate.
We only speak of Mr. Peoples as the individual
who has been selected TO represent party. What
ms opinions are, we know not, as he has never
de'gncd 70 make public exposition Of them
'lls mouhpiccc, The Argus, we presume ropro.
sents him correctly. Ii SO, We are unquostiona.
ably correct in setting him down as Ii. federal
candidate, maugro all that the said mouth.pcce
may aver TO the contrary.
The election then, on Monday and Tuesday
next, is to decide whether Lowndes is Ropubli
