"Moved and seconded that George E. Badger be put
in nomination the Whg candidate for Governor, as
the choice ofthis County"
We extract the ADORE from the published pro-
ceedings of Wing Meeting held away over
yonder in Cherokee county. How short. and yet
how sweet How gratifying i. must be to Mr.
Badger to know, that although he IS held IN con-
tempt by many even of his own party at home,
and could not get at the hands of the people the
very lowest Office he is nevertheless thought of
and appreciated by the coons of Cherokee conn-
ty! We suspect that Mr.. Francis. of Haywood,
had some hand in this; and some folks might be
inclined to consider it an exhibition Of gratu le
on his part, for sundry smiles he received from
Mr.. Badger at the last session Of the Legislature.
The wings of Cherokee are, however, informed
that Mr. Badger cannot consent to accept the
nomination so bluntly and yet so kindly rendered
but if they have any thing in the way Of straw
up there, adapted to the sucking of sweet CIDER he
would be no doubt thousand times obliged to
them if they would send it on.

~ The Editor of the Recorder has most
clearly misappfehended our remarks in relation
to the wings of Capt Bacon's District He says
he imagines'' he sees US "curl' our lip Gin con-
tempt" of an depression of opinion" made by
the wings aforesaid and intimates that we scon-
slider them far beneath US In intelligence and fore
cast" We always gave the Editor credit for a
strong Imagination, but this specimen lays all
our previous calculations on the SHELF We do
not "curl" either our lip personal or our lip EdI-
toriaI in "contempt' of any body but certain prom
inent Federal Whig leaders; and we have, It pos
sible, higher opinion than the Editor himself OF
the intelligence and forecast Of the Wings OF
Cant. Bacon's District Some of them are subscri-
hers to the Standard and all Of them, we hope,
among the number of our warm personal friends;
and we know they would be the last men to take
exceptions to bit of pleasantly, thrown out IN
the kindest and most respectful manner we could
think of. AS to our " inteiligence"-if we in
deed have any-and the Halifax Editor says we
are weak in the upper story"-we owe that to
the gifts of Providence in fee simple, and our own
hard labor; but distant, distant be the day, when
we shall follow in the footsteps of Federal whig-
gerry, by decrying any portion of our feliow-cti-
zens. We never thought of such thing.
Bu. the Editor says ga word" about the mill
tary rcnown of the aforesaid district. He says
its military pride, and consequent improvement
in tactics, has placed the First Light Infantry
Company at the head of the 47th Regiment"
Only think of that! We can tell the Editor that
we know as much about the "Firs, Light Infan-
Try Company as he does; and although iIl-na-
tured persons might be disposed to call it the
HFirst" heary Infantry Company" yet We
consider it the very best Company in til" neigh
borhood and have no objection to seeing it head

bushes, yet pleased me so much that took the
first opportunity TO make some inquiries concer-

was supposed to belong TO General Washing
ton. The night after reached home, went
to sleep thinking ofths plantation, and wonder
ing that J, who supposed knew all Washing
tons lands, never heard of it before; when
happened, know not why, to dream that the
General made present Of it to me. The next
day, as it further happened, | rode over to Mount
Vernon, the General being then at home. After
attending to the more immediate object of my
visit, asked him ifhe owned such plantation
as the one bad seen, now describing it TO him
At first he replied in the negative but soon
rising and going TO consult book in which he
kept record Of all his deeds, he said he did own
this tract of land, but though of value, he had
entirely overlooked it for some years

And like the rainbow thou ddst face,

And though. pcrchance, smile may g'eam
