Fram thc RdLeirh Rseistcr.

/ Mn. GALES: The nominee of the late
Democratic Convention, has at las! signified
his intention to become Governor of North
Carolina, provided he can get votes enough,
through political epistle, which would in.
duce most persons TO believe that he intend.
ed to canvass for the Office which the
redoubtable "Capt. Tyler" holds, instead
of that which has been conferred by tho
people on our excellent and Republican
Chef Magistrate, JonN NJ. MoEEHEAD.
Were the ability Of tho letter equal to its
length, should certainly despair Of sur.
cesstully rolu,ing its positions. But, hap.
PLY for those whose principles and motives
have been so ylrulently, yea SO unjustly as.
sailed by the author Of this scurrlous pro.
duc,ion, which we intend to expose, this is
far from being the case. We shall not
quarrel with Mr. II. for attempting TO fiat.

were all Planters, Farmers and lNechan.

ricultura" interest of the country. He
may, perhaps, have such lofty opinion of
his oWa legal aiiainments, as TO overlook
the humble pretensons of such men as
Strange, Reid, Wheeler, Haywood, Ry.
bart, and some half dozen or dozen others,
of minor Importance; but we can assure
him, that he does them very great injustice,
TO suppose, for one moment, that they know
any thing about the cultivation of their
mother earth Of their capacity 10 propa.

of all tina. practical information which is

COMING TO TIE POINT.

In the course OF debate, in the Senate
last week, Mr.. Mangum proposed to ,h'
opposite party, who talked SO much abou
rcttcnchmen,, 10 begin, by curlaiIug thei
own expenses 33ld per cent. lie protest
ed chat the Wings could not, opposed q
they were by tie Executive, perfect any
other reirenchment-but this they were
ready and willing TO carry out--and be
pledged himself for half tie Wing Senators,
If the Locos would come into the supper,
of the proposition. But the leaders of the
Democracy Gsmurred--,hey could not con
sent to diminish their pay-ther patriot
ism taught them, that they should take
care Of themselves frst-or, in other words
that rctrenchment, unlike charity, should
never begin at home.
The Independent, gives the following
sketch of Mr.. Mangum's remarks:
Referring to the sort Of responsibility,
which gentlemen on the other side labored
10 tx on the Wings, he declared that il was
totally urjusi. The. Wing party had not
the slishles, influence over an administra
ton which they had brought INTO power
lis measures, " hen sustained any where,
were voted by them alone. They only
cane TO its relief, when the imperious ne
cessity OF the public services made i. inevi'
table that the Government must stop if il
was not assisted. Where we're the newer
friends, " ho had fiched the President from
US ! Did they sssls, him, in his distress
No; lhey constantly deserted him, and then
Joined HIM and his in denouuclng, as u par.
", the very men who alone aided him and
the country, IN time of trouble. 1t was a
strange spectacle, such as no Party nor Ad,
minis,ra,on ever before presented. Turn
ing, then, to the topic Of Retrenchmen,, he
threw down the glove TO the other party ;
would they support him, II he moved gen,
efal reduction of all salaries--beeinng in
the Senate-33ld per cent! Mr. Benton
pronounced a very audible no, Mr.. Linn
echoed it, adding something about doing II,
when we had come back TO hard money.
Mr.. Buchanan shook his head; MIR. Cal.
houn sat mute. Mr.. NJ resumed; With.
out the sincere CO operation Of the Execu,
tive, in whose power these matters were
much more intimately lodged, it was mpos
sible to set on foot a Just, skIltul, statesman
like plan Of Reform. That horizontal sort
@! plan, which he had mentioned, was clum.
81 and rude. Blu, would any gentleman
on the other side suggest better He
stood ready to lend him his utmost support.
Nay, he would pledge himself that, if he
would only bring one half his party into it,
there should come Wings enough TO carry
il. If they would not do it, let them for
ever hold their peace, as to their habi,ual
talk about the Wing failure to give the
promised reform. Mr.. Ms speech was,
throughout, felicttous and strong."-ib.

But, says Mr.. Henry, "The Wings

Yes you do. 1t is what call 'propGs,
