TRULY A BEAUTIFUL !" FIX

Truly our Wing friends are in beautiful
predicament. Many of them desire to run
Gen. Taylor as the Federal candidate for the
Presidency in '45, but the difficulty is that
Gen. Taylor has endorsed the wafin every
way in which it has been his power to en-
dorse it. He counselled and advised the adj
vance of the army from Corpus Christi to the
banks of the Rio Grande, which advance, say
the Feds, caused the war. That's the rub
They have been abusing Mr.. Polk and the
whole Democratic party, during the last twelve
months, for involving the country in this
I" unholy, unjust, and unchristan Mexican
war;" when it can be demonstrated that Gen.
Taylor advised and counseled the very step
which, as they say, brought about the war
Gen. Scott, too, another great wing gun and
asplrantfor the Presidential chair, in his recent
proclamation, takes the American side of this
war question, and tells the Mexicans plainly
that they are in fault, and that the United
States was forced and compelled into the war
that she is now in honor, and out of self
respect, bound to prosecute it to an honorable
termination. Really we do not see how our
Federal friends will get along. Either they
will be compelled to desst from abusing the
administration for conducting the war, or else
they must excommunicate both Generals lay
lor and Scott; for certainly they are heretlcal
on this point. Just let the reader look at the
predicament in which the Federal party is now
placed. They denounce the war; they de-
nounce Mr.. Folks administration for invoI-
wing the country in war, whilst, at the same
time. they are willing to support for the Presi-
dency man who is as deeply in the mud (on
this question: as Mr.. Folks administration is
in the mire. But it belongs to the Federal
party to get along with such inconsistencies
We would not be surprised to find, in the
course of a year, these presses, should Gent
Taylor be their candidate, as loud-mouthed in
advocating the war policy as they are now in
denouncing it. They are up TO anything. We
will keep our eye upon them, however. Time

The 8TH DISTRICT-Our readers will learn
from the proceedings published in to-day's
Journal, that the Democrats OF the 9Th Con-
gressional District, held District Convention
in Newbern on the 9th inst, and it affords us
much pleasure in announcing to the voters of
said District the unanimous nomination of
VIM. K. LANE, Esq, of Wayne, as a candidate
for seat in the next House of Representa-
tives. The nomination of Mr. Lane, we have
every reason to believe, will meet the hearty
approval of the entire Democratic party of the
9Th District. Our friends now have candi-
date they have reason 20 be proud Of One
who will ever be found ready to meet his OPP
pOnent, and one who is we'll qualified to fill
the station for which has accepted a nominal
ton. All our friends have TO do to ensure his
election, isto put their shoulders to the wheel,
and work like patriots of old, and success will
assuredly crown their efforts. The Federal
lists have committed too many sins to be sue
ccssfuI at this day, even where they had, two
years ago, majority of few hundred votes
The Federal majority can and will be over
come, if the Democrats will only work. We
exhort them to action. The time is but short
and they should use every honorable means
to carry the day. Their country looks to
them for aid-let them not be found wanting
in the hour of need

A Nsso Speculatsoa-Ths English have

which they are willing to part with for mere
trihes, knives or other things of like value.
An English merchant in Australia has entered
largely into this speculation, having sent seve-

High Freights--An instance of the freight

then towed it to Buffalo, and in few hours

WHERE IS IT l.?

We should like to know from some of our
Federal contemporaries where all the ruin which
they predicted two years ago has gone to. We,
for our own part, cannot see it. "The Loco
Foco Tariff and the Sub Treasury will ruin
the country" was the constant cry of our
Federal opponents 8 months ago. Where is
all this ruin Why the very reverse is the
case. On the oath of last month, the govern
ment of the United States had, in the hands of
its agents, at various points an the United
States, the sum of seven millions of dollars
subject to draft, not one cent, however, of all
this large sum is in the vaults of any Bank.
The divorce between Bank and State is most
complete Well, now, where is that fSightful
picture Of bankrupt Treasury, of which our
Federal friends were wont to discourse so pa
thetically not many months ago? Again, the
revenue Tariff of Mr. Folks administration is
bringing into the Treasury of the United
States an increased revenue, the evil predic
tons of our adversaries to the contrary, not
withstanding. A comparison of the receipts

States, between the last quarter and the cor
responding quarter under the Tariff of AZ, ex-
+hibits very. respectable balance in favor of
the former But still again, the stocks of the
United States are at a premium wherever they
are offered for sale and this, too, at a time
when we are conducting foreign war, New
err, indeed, since the United States became an
Independent Republic, has she presented to
the civilized world more respectable, -four

ly carrying on foreign war, furnishing the
furnishing subjects of European monarchies
with the means of subsistence, and at the same
time reducing the burdens upon her own peo-
pie, certainly exhibits the United States in an
aspect different from any which she has hith-
erto assumed Still our Federal opponents
continue to croak. We believe that they are
actually mad because things are getting along
so smoothly. Let them croak on, however.
The people of this great country have both
the patriotism and the intelligence TO discern
who are, and who are not, their real friends.

Our CANDIDATE.-It is with feelings Of Pc
culiar pleasure, that we state to our readers,
that the Hon. ]. ]. Mckay has authorized US
10 announce him as a candidate for reelection
in this Congressional district. We say for
reelection, because although the district has
been slightly altered by the last Legislature,
still all the counties which compose it, be-
longed to the old district, with the exception
of Cumberland. We suppose we might step
here, for we feel assured that the simple an
nouncement is all that is necessary to ensure
for Gen. Mckay, the unanimous vote of the
democratic party in the 18th Congressional dis
trict So long and so favorably has he been
known, not only to the people of his own dis
trict, but to the democracy OF the whole coun-
try, we feel that in offering any reasons why
the republican party in this district should
vote for him, we would be wasting time and
paper His talents, his services, and his
faithfulness as public servant, are known
and appreciated by every democrat in the State
OF North Carolina. In sending him to Con-
gress, the voters of the district honor alike
Gen. Mckay and themselves. To some ii
may appear singular, that Gen. Mckay has
not made this announcement at an earlier pc
riod. To those, however, who know that
his health has been extremely delicate fol
some time past, it will n IT SO appear. We be-
lieve that he was of the opinion, at the close
Of the last session of Congress, that repose
from the arduous duties of his position as a
representative, was absolutely necessary. We
are glad, however, that he feels himself so far
restored, as TO be able once more to become
our standard bearer. We presume he will not
canvass the district There is no earthly ne
cessity that he should do so. Every voter in
the district knows him and the principles
which he holds. Besides, we presume he vii
find it necessary TO recruit his health by tray.
ell or some other species OF relaxation during
the summer months.
