. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Wehope to be enabled to make room for "Frank
lin County," next week.
H-A word to 'Raleigh." The communications
of Raleigh place Mr.. Gales in delicate situation,
in regard to answering his charges in the Register,
as he is candidate for the Legislature. The sub
ject is chiefly interesting the democratic republi-
can voters of Wake county only. We propose that
Raleigh shall embody all he has to say in COM
munication, which, (if not too long,) we will pub
lish in hand-bill for circulation in the County
provided the matter is furnished in time to give Mr..
Gales or his friends opportunity of answering it
before the election. This will be fair play. For
MIR. Gales, personally, we have high respect and
esteem; but we most earnestly desire and confident
ly look for his defeat at the coming eection for as
has been well said on another OCCASION "the chord
of private friendship is but an attenuated thread

SOUTHERN LITERARY MEssENGER

The June number of this interesting periodical is
received. In consequence of repeated applications
for the Messenger fora less period than an entire
year, Mr. White; the publisher, has concluded to
alter the conditions for the present gear only, so
far as to receive subscribers for the remainder of
the present Volume-to commence with either the
May or July number: the eight numbers will cost
S3 81; the sic numbers, Cor half year, So 5O.-
Individuals will thus have opportunity of form
ing their own judgment of this excellent work,
without the expense of a full years subscription
The publisher of the Messenger gives notice that
all subscriptions must be paid inraria6ty an ad-
UGnce. Most of the discotn6tures of the periodical
press are to be traced to the lax observance of the
terms of subscription; and many an establishment
has failed-not from want of patronage, but pune
tuaLity.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Pursuant to a few moments previous notice, a
number If the Democratic Republicans of the
county OF JONES' assembled in the Courthouse
at Trenton, in the afternoon of Monday, the llh
inst after the adjournment of Court and after the
adjournment of the Federal Whig Meeting, held
at the same time and place.
On motion, Col NATHAN FosCUE was called
TO the chair, and BENJAMIN AsKEw, ESQ was
appointed secretary. The meeting being organ
lied, The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
The times call loudly for the active energy and
unanimi.y Of the Democratic Republicans Of N
Carolina. Our opponents, emboldrned by the
temporary success of the Federal parry in o:her
States. are striving to carry North Carolina -

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES

Acorrespondent proposes that there be some place
and time appointed in each county, previous our
elections, and that two more men of each cap
tain's company be selected by the company to meet
at the place appointed, and nominate and recon-
mend such persons as the whole assembly may
think the most suitable to fill the Office of Represen-
tative, Senator, &c. The suggestion is well wor-
thy the consideration of the people. Some method
ought to be adopted to secure harmony and union
IN the democratic republican ranks; and in this
way every man would have voice in bringing out
the candidates.

SPEECH OF MIR. ALLEN.

We lay before our readers this week, the speech
of Mr.. ALLEN, of Ohio We hope its great length
will not deter them from giving it careful perusal.
Mr.. ALLEN is native of North Carolina, and claims
our attention on that score, well as that OF a
bi!ity and integrity. In this speech will be found
startling exposition of the pecuniary relations be-
tween Members of Congress and the Bank of the
United States, when the latter was demanding a

I,l,N as.

y proposition has been made in the
congress Of Texas, to withdraw the
application Of that country for admis-
sion into the coniedcracy of the Uni
ted States. We sincerely hope the
resolution will not be adopted; Tor we
believe 1t is decidedly the policy of
both governments to effect the con.
nectlon. We presume the resolution
was introduced into the Texan con
gresS by some member who construed
the delay of the American congress in
acting upon their petition, INTO a re-
iusal to comply, or as a national insult
to TeXas.-Such evidently was not
the intention olour congrcss;allhough
we are free TO admit, that in touching
the question, there was not that unc.
