NEWBERN DISTRICT.

We learn from the last North State Wing. that at
the Wing Convention held in Washington few
DAYS since, the Hon. William Fl. Washington was
nominated as the Wing candidate for Congress for
the Newbern District.
If MIR. Washington is to be judged by the senti-
ments and opinions he advanced during the late ses
sion of the Assembly the subject of State sover-
eighty, he Is ConsoHdatiOnst, and the last man who
ought to be chosen to represent the Newbern District
in the Congress of the United States. In the dis
cusson the Slavery at the late session,
heard him say " that if State should secede
from the Union the General Government would have
the right to coerce that State and subugate her, and
keep her subjugated until such time Congress
should think proper her to her former
dition! 20 Holding this opinion, and taking as he
does this view of our system of government, Mr.
Washington will no doubt if occasion should arise
role to The President beth and money to ana
crush South Carolina! We hope our friends will cal
him upon this point They have right to de-
nland direct and unequivocal reply from that gen.
tleman this absorbing subject.
We have every confidence that the Democratic
State Rights Convention, which is to assemble in the
course Of few days, will select some gentleman
who will bear their standard to victory. The New
bern District has been msrepresented too long alrea
dy. Let the friends of State Rights 60 to work d
once in all parts of the District and spare no honor
able efforts in the good cause. They have willy anc
very scrupulous adversaries to contend agains
in Mr. WASH ngton and those who sustain him, ant
all their energies will be required to carry the day
But is the time! Let every Republican but d.
his duty, and the result cannot be doubtful.

and position heretofore granted.

Surgeons of the Army and Navy should be scientific
and educated gentlemen it is necessary that they

live, corresponding to that held by physicians of
equal standing in civil life.

THE MAIL CONTRACTS.

The Godsborough Republican is still in error ir
supposng the contract from Rocky Mount to Raleigh
is for daily service The Schedule under the con-
tract has been received al the Post Office in Raleigh
and is for tri-weekly service.
The Republican supposes the route by Rocky
Mount would be certain than over the CASTOR
Road. 1t might be equally certain, but it would GER
tainly be loss of one day. The mail going North
instead of leaving o'clock, A. M. would be clo-
sed at o'clock P. Nj. the day before; and the mail
from the North, instead of reaching Raleigh at 2
O'clock P. NJ. would arrive after night, and too late
to answer letters by the return mail
The cause of complaint during the past year has
been so much from the late arrival of the mail
from CASTOR as from the frequent failures North of
CASTOR. bringing two and sometimes three mails
al Time. This could not be remedied by carrying
the mail around by Rocky Mount or Goldsborough

THE DEMOCRAT AND THE RECORDER


Our friend of the North Carolina Democrat is stir
ing up the Editors of the Hisborough Recorder
about this time, in the handsomest manner He =" has
them - most completely on the doctrine of State
ereignty. Give to them, friend Lancaster; if you
should succeed in getting any acknowledgment from
them of State rights, should seriously shake their
faith in the principles of consolidation, you will in
deed have achieved victory
The Editors of the Recorder will look at no public
question, unless they allowed to do SO through
party spectacles. Party Party is the burden of
their song, and the object Of their efforts The union
of the Soulhor the sake of The South and the Union,
might inure Mr.. FiIImore's prospects and crpplethe
great Wing party -; and hence the Recorder cries
peace peace! when there is 10 peace, and keeps
back from its readers important facts connected with
Freesoil and Abolition aggressions. Is such paper
faithful sentinel on the watchtower of freedom!

to be witty bat the misfortune is, the Editor did not
state at what particular point he desired his readers
