The Edgecombe District,

1t is with pain, we see from the last Tar
boro' Press. that some unpleasant feeling
has arisen about the nomination Of cam
dldate, to represent the Edgecombe Dis
trict, in the next Congress. Mr.. AIRING
ton, the present incumbent, is sterling
Democrat, and man of good plain COM
mon sense, but we think there are others
in the District, whose orthodox Democra.
cy is equally good, and whose capacities
10 represent the District, are far superior to
those Of Mr.. Arlington. The difficulty
seems TO be, whether Convention should
be held. With the Press, we say, that
when difference Of opinion has arisen.
the only safe, and at the same time, Dem
ocra,lc plan TO settle the matter, is, to hold
Convention, and let it be perfectly un-
derstood, that every man whose name NAV
be submitted to the consideration of that
Convention, shall be pledged to abide its
decision. The gallant Toole, from the a.
BILE and disnterested services which he has
rendered the Democratic cause in that Dis
trict, we think deserves the nomination.
but still, as the good of the cause is inf
nitely above the claims of any one man,
we think the only safe course TO pursue in
! the present instance, is 10 take the sense
OF the people through their delegates. in
Convention, and then TO unite with har.
mony' upon whoever may be the nominee
whether Toole, an Arlington, a Clark,
or Pasteur..

We believe the Journal office was the
first in North Carolina, which gave 10 its

Of being the first TO present to our readers.

James K. Polk. In the columns Of to-
days Journal. our readers will find Mr..
Folks first official expose of the policy
which he intends to pursue in the admin
stration of the Genera! Government.
As the Inaugural is before our readers,
and as no doubt it will heratten,ively perm.
sed by all. we deem it almost unnecessary
to offer any remarks of our own, on this
the first State paper, which has emanaled
from Mr.. Polk. 1t pleases us SO much
however, that we cannot forbear offering Z
few remarks upon it. Had the Democrat

If there be any two politicians IN the
whole Union. whose names, in all time
to come, will be handed down to posterty,
loaded with the execra,ions of the people
of the South, they will be those of William
S. Archer and w. G.. Rives, the present
Senators from Virginia. In no State in
the Union, was the Annexation question
SO ably discussed as in Virginia in no
State did the election. in SO greata degree,
turn upon the Texas question, as in Vir-
ginia,-in no State in the whole Union,
did The people so emphatically declare in
favor Of this measure, as in the Old Do
minion; and still, here we have these two
Southern men, with full knowledge OF
these facts, throwing their votes and their
influence into the scale Of England, and
her sworn allies, the Federal Abolitionist Is
Of the North. But the election in Virgin.
ia is al hand. and we predict that an in.
glorious retirement awaits these two re-
creant sons of the South.

Fatal Duel.


The Columbia Carolinian says An affair
Of honor came off near the Hampton Course,
at Augusta, on Thursday, the Goth inst, be-
tween Major John Partlow, of Abbeville Dis.
trict, and John G. Burton, Esq, of Newberry
District, S. C. They fought with MusKErs,
at ten PAGES, and Mr.. Burton fell MORALLY
wounded at the first fire. He was conveyed
to'Huhbard's Hotel, Hamburger, and died ten
hours afterwards. Both Of these gentlemen
had married each others sisters, and the diff
Guilty which led to this fatal result, is said to
have originated in private affairs, of which
the PnoiIc should know nothing. The mode
OF lighting was chosen by Mr.. Burton, and to
say the least Of it, was barbarous and almos,
unprecedented. A relative of Mr.. Burton's.

The last week of the present session OF
Congress is now, and will, through all time
to come, be remembered as one in which
events of vast and transcendent importance
have crowded upon one another, with a
rapidity which almost dazzles our mind,
whilst contemplating them. Within that
week, three Sovereign Republics have been
added to the .wenty-six. which, up to this
period, composed our confederacy. So
that henceforth, twenty-nine stars will
shine in brilliant splendor, OH our national
ensign. During the last week of the SEES
sion, great and radical change has been
made in The Post Office Department. The
bill for the reduction of postage, the sub
stance Of which, we gave some time ago.
after having been amended by the House
of Representatives, in two important re-
spects, namely, that all letters where the
distance is over 800 miles. shall be charg.
ed ten cents and that the bill shall not 60
into operation until the LIST Of July, was
sent back to the Senate, where the amend.
ments were agreed 10, and the bill passed.

Mr.. Deberry.

On looking over the yeas and nays or
dered OH the passage of the bill, for the
admission of Florida aud Iowa as States
into this Union, we perceive that the only
member from North Carolina, whose name
appears amongst the nays, is that Of Mr..
Deberry. What could possibly have been
this gentleman's motive for opposing the
admission of these two new States, into
our glorious constellation, we are at loss
TO divine. What object, or what induce
ment he could have in view, for having his
name emblazoned on the journals of the
House of Representatives, as the only man
from North Carolina, " no, SO far as his lit
tie influence would 60, exhibited an unwil-
| lingness to see Florida take her place a.
mong the sovereign States of this Union,
not only in pursuance of the guarantees Of
the treaty, by which her territory was ac-
CURED, but also in accordance with the
provisions Of the Federal Constitution,
will, we think, be matter about which
his constituents will require to know some
ning. Had Mr.. Deberrv the Quokers of

in question Had he in his minds eye, a
