THE DIFFERENCE.

The Wings have twenty-five candidates for
Governor Each one we believe, who is spoken
OF, with the exception of Messrs Graham and
Shepard, would be glad to receive the nomination
Every county-almost every ten-miles square
has its preference. Does this look like unanimi-
ty2 Docs it not show species of m0naoorship,
which overlooks principles, and which is incon-
sisent with the practice of sound principles Let
every man of sense answer.
Now turn to the Democrats So welded are
they to principles that they care little about men,
They might, had they thought proper, have put
in nomination fifty men out of their ranks, as we'll
qualified for the Office as the twenty-five Wings
now in nomination. But, with the exception of
one most respectable county, all voices which have
publicly spoken from their ranks, have been heard
to speak in favor of one man. This is the crown
ing honor of the democracy of this State-it has
no uGm-ao6rship in tit bows to no Mr.. Badger
it submits to the dictation of no Press Can the
leading Wings say as much orthemselves and for
their party2

GENTLEMEN; The period is rapidly approach
ing when you will again be called upon to elect
suitable person to represent you in the Senate Of
the next General Assembly: and as it is not my
intention again to be candidate, deem it du-
ty to apprize you thus early of my resolution, in
order that you may select one, who will truly and
faithfully reflect your opinions on every subject.
In declining to offer second time for your suf.
frages, 1 need scarcely remind you, that, though
Withdrawn from the contest, shall always regard
with pleasure the triumph of those principles, so
intimately blended with the fairest hopes of the
republic-ts honor and prosperity.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to add
how deeply grateful feel towards you, for kind
ness and confidence reposed in me under very
trying and peculiar circumstances and to state
moreover, that it will always be to me no less
pleasure than duty, to promote (as far as practi
cable) the principles of the Republican party.

TEXAS.
Oct 26th, 184S.

That Great Britain is attempting, by every pos
skIe means, to get a strong and permanent foot
hold in Texas can no longer be denied. Almost
every mail brings rumors and apparent facts,
which ought to arouse the vigilance of the whole
country. The last Petersburg Republican con-
tans letter written to press in New-Orleans, IN
which it is confidently asserted that Samuel Hous-
ton, the President of the Republic, is engaged IN
negotiations which are expected to terminate IN
the cesson of Texas to the British Crown Start
ling as is this announcement, it may nevertheless
be true. The attempt may be made. Houston IS
thought to be capable of any thing of the sort;
Houston it is thought, would barter the aufels OF
San Jacinto for British goldl But whether the
people of Texas would consent to be transferred
like cattle to foreign master is another question
We believe they would not. And vet there IS
no divining the influence of gold-no one can sure
" calculate what effect would be produced even
upon the people of Texas by the offer of free har-
bors unrestricted trade and full and strong protec-
ton against the Moxicans-no man can say that
the insidious policy which characterizes British
craftsmanship is not dangerous at all times to the
purest and treest people.
1t is high time that the people of this Country
were fully awake to proper anticipation of the
results of the daring encroachments of Eng gland.
Not content with crushing Ireland with humb-
ling the civil majesty of Scotland and trampiing
in the dust the cnsigns of her peculiar faith not
content with dcsolating India, and transferring
thence the wealth Of empires to parnper and deco
rate Ioathsome artist eracy; not content with
harassing and expressing the unfortunate Chinese
not content with having done all she could to keep
down the rising fires of freedom in the Canadas,
she is now lifting her d"spotic arm, rocking in
corruption and red with guilt to lay it upon the
flirest portion Of the Western Hemisphere. And
ure the people of this country-are the people OF
The South determined to stand by, indifferent spec
tators of her gant-srides to power and dominion?
Depend upon it, she must be cheekcd-we will
not say how-but the peace of nations-the hap
piness and prosperity of the Anglo-Saxon race,
demand that some arm equal to the great work
should interpose to check her. We shall again re-
fer to this matter p

EsIDENT ROVER

The,PaFis correspondent of the National Intel-
ligencer, under date of Sept. 29, says:
Ex-Presdent Boyer and family arrived here by
the railroad from Rouen on Monday. They ira
yelled in so plain way that 1he journals cannot
reconcile il with accounts ofsbis immense wealth.
"A Rouen editor, who visited the party, reports
him dark mulatto, man of sensible converse
tion and good breeding, apparently about 65 or &c
years of age, under double afliclion, the loss of
wife. His mother with him is a neeress. very tall,
above 80 years of age, dressed IN an odd fashion,
wearing great felt hat: the wife of the Colonel,
his nephew and aid, who is bright mulauress,
possesses rare beauty and has four children. This
morning, in passing the hotel near the Charch of
the Madeleine, in which they are lodged on the
first floor, l saw the aged dame and an equally
black nurse with one of the children in her arms

The hostile prints treat This asai II were trea.
son against fhe State. That Mr. Van Buren,
should disclaim and deRounee the present tariff
they never heard Of such an enor1nity
Mr.. Van Buren, is, however, not very singular
in his disapprobation of the present tariff: Out
of the whig party it has not, that ever knew
or heard Of friend in the world. The moder-
ate tariff men of both parties disown it; they
would prefer less oppressive and unequal ar
rangrrnent of duties Even Mr.. Clay declines to
approve of it as a whole En- his late letters, be
cautiously tells the public that he is not in situa-
tion to Judge of all its provisions, and hints shat it
may want considerable correction. A few weeks
ago. one of the whfg papers in this city attacked
1t violently for several mornings successitely.-
Almost every democratic paper we take UP, con-
tains some favorable animadverson on that M
lucky tariff Nobody claims the paternity of ii ;
no man boasts of having brough: in the bill; no
man steps forward and says, this excellent 'mea-
sure is one of my devising. 1t is abandoned to
the open scorn Of its enemies aud the Ill conceal

gain nothing by dwelling upon Mr.. Van Buren's

THE TARIFF

Certain Wing papers in noticing the late revi-
val of business complain that the revival does not
extend to the agricultural States. How can this
be expected The Tariff was not laid for the
benefit of the farmers-and how can its operation
benefit those States which are for the most part ag.
rIcultural? 1t was laid for the express purpose Of
oenehllng the manufacturing States and there, and
there alone, has business revived to any consider
able extent This circumstance ought of itself to
convince the people of North Carolina that the
tariff now in existence is unequal and unjust.
