gems of the 9th Congressional district synop-
sis of the doings of our candidates IN part ~
Edgecombe' On Monday OF Edgecombe
Court, Messrs. Arlington, Daniel, frltchard
and Toole addressed The people; the three lat
ter made rush on Gen. Daniel and Conven-
tons It was systematic attack and some
call it conspiracy to beat down Daniel and
organization. All put together. their attacks
were as much personal as political but zen.
Daniel sustained himself well in all points,
and showed himself standard bearer worthy
of the charge And while he was speaking
he charged Mr. Arlington (from report only
with voting $4,000 for Nag's Head, &c.
Mr. Arlington fatty denied it, said the report
was false, he gave no such vote. On the 21st
inst, Mr. Daniel brought MS vote forward
and proved from the Journals of the 28th Con-
gress. I'd Session, page 494. and Bill No. 50 +,
that Mr.. Arlington did vote for the approprl-
alton of the 500, 900, which he SO. fatty de-
MED at Marlborough Nh: Arlington tried to
excuse himself, by saying he was opposed to
it, just like the people of Edgecombe to
receiving. the school money, that other coun-4
ties had received it. Edgecombe had also; just
so as other States were getting appropriations
for objects: of that kind, North Caroh-.a ought
to have ber,sAare also. Such pitiful eyations
will not do for the thinking people of Edge
combe, they know or ought know, that
North Carolina has fund set apart for COM
man schools and that each county is entitled
to its pro rata share, &C., whilethe Gene
eminent has no fund set apart for Internal I'm
provements in the States, to which any State
is entitled; and Mr. Arlington knows every
dollar appropriated for objects of the kind
must be a tax TO take money out of the
pockets of the people.
Again ON the. 23d, Gen. Daniel charged Mr..
| Arlington with receding constitutional prin-
cipie, by voting the 100000 or playing a
double handed game in the lower counties,
while canvassing against Edward Stanly,
where Mr.. Arlington let slip that he did tell
Josiah Collins, (whig) he would not oppose
an appropriation. View the contrast. when
Gen. Daniel was called on in the lower coun-
ties in the Hartford district, to say whether he
would vote for an appropriation for Nag
Head, his answer was, no. | will loose my
election before | will.concede my Constitution
al principles. Freemen can you trust your
institutions and principles in the hands of a
man who can concede his principles for the
sake of getting into office? Suppose one fifth
Of the voters in this district were in favor OF
National bank, one fifth in favor of the Ia
riff of 1912, one fifth in favor Of the abolition
of the slaves, and one fifth in favor of the re-
peal of the independent Treasury Law; what
security could you expect from man who
would not vote against them, and all too, fol-
the sake Of getting into Office &C. All this is
applicable to Mr.. Arrington's concessions to
Mr.. Collins.
Again, Mr.. Arlington scores away at the
Nashville Convention that nominated Gen J.
| p I noniol oD6 coils - E4tIo c,1 h.
delegates, " little cross road politicians and
} therefore he opposes it. Well he is in favor
J of National Convention, but not in favor oil
district Conventions, unless they are fully and
fairly represented, just like the one that nom
mated him to run against Edward Stanly-
) This is the kind he is in favor of. Well ,tba
Conrention had fire counties, out of the ten IN
Convention, as follows Nash delegates
Edgecombe 10 Craven 8; Pitt 6, and the
delegates of Beauford and only three coun
ties voted for him, which gave him the mao
ritY, three delegates each, casting the vote O
Craven and Nash counties. What a consis
tent Convention man he is to strain at a gna
and swallow a camel
e Again, Mr.. Arlington charged Gen. DAME
with voting to censure Gen. Taylor, for tn,
f capitulation at Monterey Well, sum VI
: Gen. Daniels vote on the resolution of thanks
i and it Will amount to no more nor less thar
). that he voted, 1st, thanks, I'D, 4 medal f
: Gen. Taylor-3d, he voted that the victorie
. were acquired in a just and righteous war
i 9Th he voted that they pass no opinion on tn
s. terms OF the capitulatlon at Monterey, Of whc
a they knew nothing-5th, he voted that b.
= that act they meant no censure: as wa
:. charged by the opposition. Here comes the ties
s. Mr.. Cooke, a whig of Tennessee offered a
$ amendment to strike out the word thank:
f. and all the Democrats voted thanks to Taylc
e and his gallant little army but two. So til
y vote to strike out thanks, and insert censur
i, was whig vote.
e Again, it is plain that Gen. Daniel voted t
~ sustain the Administration from first to las
! Now how stands the case with MIR. AIRING
# ton, and what kind of company is he in ? Al
o swer: with Cooke and the wings Now t
Ia make it plain; first, Daniel supports the AID
Ar minstration ; I'd, the wings oppose Gen Dar
T. iel and the Administration Sd, Mr. Arringto
opposes Gen. Daniel and Joins the wings
C. the tune of Censure; and of course, if he ha
N been In Congress, must have voted wit
" Cooke and the wings. Freemen (Democrat
n of the District, if you want man that can II
pit cede his principles and vote 200 for il
ID ternal improvements vote for A H. AIRING
e. ton, for Daniel would not be the man to IT
De present you.
'g I'd. If you want man that opposes the al
OF ministraton, and joins in the tune of censu
e. with the wings, vote for a H. Arlington; fl
IN J. R. J, Daniel will support the administr
ton.
ut 3D. II you want a man who is in favor
en- raising the pay of one part of the soldiers
:" $40 per month and the other part to recel
rs only So, vote for A. II. Arlington for DAM
I s voted TO pay all equal, $40 per month.
L. 4th. If you want man, who is opposed
nd meetings and conventions and in favor of
ed visions in the democratic family, and there1
e. play into the hands of the common enem
NJ vote for A. H. Arlington for Daniel is in
IN vor OF union, because union is strength. r
ny member, united we stand divided we fall.
n 9Th. II You want man to give a vote
* Congress, and come home and deny it, VIC
nd for A. H. Arlington.
ye- Angain, Mr.. Arlington charges his not q
Ia ting the nomination at the Convention in s
Ter when Mr.. Clark received it, to his receivi
re- pay for nearly whole session; and read
aay denounces the Convention held at Nashvi
Ill u. for nominating Gen. J. r. J. Daniel, W
uo had taken pay for a few days absence fro
,s Congress, with doing injustice to him and
,oo leratng the same in Mr.. Daniel Here,
Nv me say to Mr.. Arlington, do not be in a
=, about it, the Convention has done right, it /
,le done justice to you and Mr.. Daniel-for +,
he days absence neither of you were rejected
- the Convention vou were not rejected in II.
