The pith of an argumemt.-The Hillsborough
Recorder cannot and does not say one word in de-
NAL of our remarks made a week or two since in
regard to the high tax on sugar and salt; but con-
tents himself with stating what we said, and affirm
ing, in the same BREATH that we had not given "the
pith of the argument" This "pith," he says, con-
ssts in the fact that the present tariff has raised
the price of these articles. This may be true.
But with US the wonder is, as high as the rate of
duty is confessed be- that these articles have not
declined in price. Almost every thing is now at
the specie standard, and indeed in some places be-
low it. for some of the Banks have more specie
on hand than they have notes in circulation; and
under these circumstances fall in the price of ev-
cry thing is to be expected. And yet sugar and
salt are as high as ever. Money grows scdrcer ;
still the farmer pays for them the same price he
paid when money was abundant Is not this so
Ought not ten cents, the way money goes now to
purchase teco pounds instead of one pound of su-
gar2 The tax upon sugar is two and half cents
per pound the best brown HAVANA costs at that
place only two and an half cents per pound the
duty is therefore one hundred per cent upon the
article where it is bought. The export duty and
charges are also to be paid on it. and when it gets
here we have to pay for it ten and twelve cents
per pound. Now take of this duty of two and
half per cent, and is it not reasonable to suppose
we would get the articles at eight cents or perhaps
seven cents per pound? This is the 'pth' of the
argument and before we can consent to abandon
it, the Recorder will have to prove to US that
man can walk with more facility under heavy
load than he can under light one.

THE PURSE AND THE SWORD,

The Raleigh Register of recent date said the
democrats were in favor of uniting the purse and
the sword in the hands Of the President. - .
This charge, let it be remembered, comes from
a Whig; and by the deeds of his own party will
we convict and silence him. In the contest of
1910, the democratic party rallied it is true,
der the banner of MARTIN VAN BUREN and the
Sub Treasury. They were defeated. The
Wings went into power They went in divided

Tyler went up higher; he refused to obey Whig

SCENES AT NEW YORK.

We have no room this morning for a full
sketch of the extraordinary scenes which were
enacted last week in the Convention of the Epis,

a new epoch in the history of the American
Church. Because the Bishop in his opening ad-

Maruana-We have but little intelligence
from the elections in this State. 1t appears, from
the papers, that the Wings have carried the City
of Baltimore by small majority.
GeOrgio-No satisfactory news from this State.
The elections are for the Legislature, Congress,
and Governor. Crawford is the Whig candidate
for Governor, and Cooper the democratic. We
have before US the returns from twenty-five coun-

Satan reprovin,g Sin.-Daniel Webster said,
in his late Speech, that if he belonged to deep
ly indebted State he'd work his ten fingers TO their
stumps-he'd hold plough-he'd drive plough
he'd do both---before it should be said of his
State that she did not pay her debts" Now all
this is very fine. 1t shows that MIR. Webster de-
sires the public to pay its debts. But we think
there Is certain individual named Daniel, abe
longing" to the Webster family, who does not
pay his own debts. 1t is pity Mr.. Webster did
not say something about his thumbs; he has as
many as "ten fingers" it seems, but not one word
about his thumbs
Public and private morality are inseparable.
If some gentleman had declared on the occasion,
that individuals ought to work their ten fingers
to their stumps to pay their indiUidu0l debts We
imagine MIR. Webster would have felt as bad as
the soul of the corporation of Pennsylvania did,
under the lash he laid on it. IF America owes
a debt, let her pay it-let her PAY IT." deaf

YELLOW FEVER IN WASHINGTON N. c.
The Washington Republican of the 5th instant

The Washington Republican of the 5th instant
says:
That the Yellow Fever is in Washington,
seems to US to be useless longer to deny. Some
few cases that have occurred Of late settles that
point beyond contradiction. We thus write that
our neighbors may be in possession of all the facts
in the Although we are thus plain, we say
at the same time that much of the sickness here is
nothing more than the bilious fever. And by
way of giving the whole truth, we will state that
there was 26 deaths in this town from the 31st of
August the 4rh Of October inst, among the white
population there have also been some few deaths
among the negroes. Of The 26 deaths II, we feel
warranted in asserting, were of yellow fever.
There seems to be much difference of opinion
IN regard to the disease, whether it be contagious
or not; of this we can say nothing, having but
little acquaintance with its nature.
Our people are many of them out of town, and
our population much thinned. So families had left
from last Friday to last Tuesday night, when We
made up our estimate. We Indulge the hope,
therefore, that the disease will abate severity

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS INVADED!


A Whig Jury in Ohio has recently found the
enormous verdict of two thousand dollars against
Col MEDARY, the able and fearless Editor of the
Ohio Statesman, for having published in his pa
per communication rejecting on certain Demas
Adams. Thomas Ewing, the celebrated hard
ciderite, appeared against Col. Medary and thro'
his violent partizan exertons this verdict was
dered. AS soon as the verdict was announced,
the democrats of the City of Columbus assembled
and passed resolutions approving the course of
the Editor-denouncing the baseness of Ewing,
and avowing a determination to uphold the free
dom and independence of the press in every en-
ergency. To Col. Medary himself the democrats
say GO ON. You have accomplished much for
the good cause in Ohio; bat much more remains
to be accomplished Strike as you know how to
strike into the thickest squadrons of the common
enemy-srike, for the cause is a righteous one,
and the unbought and terrified democracy of the
country will sustain you
