For the Co,,rie,

For the Courier.
Mr.. EDIToR.--I see the last Republic
has made quite an onset upon Mr.. Dav.
is, an Independent candidate for Super
visor. and "a Friend Of Democracy
comes to its assistance and tells about
Mr.. Davis running for Supervisor and
getting ten votes, and running for Consta-
BILE and getting votes; and says they
nhe Democracy will read him out Of
their party. Now, ! care not whether
he gets any votes at all for County Su-
pervisor or whether he lis read out OF
the party; but Imust in justice say that
he is as much entitled to the support of
the people as Mr.. Frederick the regu-
lar nominee. He is as capable and
believe more honest. The Democratic
party Il do not mean the wire pullers)
do moi believe Mr.. Frederick, capable.
and If an Independent candidate presents
himself who is known 10 be capable, he
will get more than half of the Democrat
ic party.
One little incident and then / am done.
During the sitting Of Court in this coun
.ty, not long since, Mr.. Frederick acted
as balill' to the Grand Jury. The Jur.
ors made up "pony purse" TO buy a
hushel Of apples anG entrusted Mr.. f..
with the money to get them. He went
and purchased bushel of little knotty
sour things, while there were plenty Of
good ones, and kepta part of the money.
II was found Out on him and BY begging
pleading and promising to get a bushel
of good apples for them at his own ex-
pense, the matter was dropped for the
time. So much for the high-minded
and honorable Mr.. Frederick If this
is denied ! can produce good Witnesses
TO prove it. FAIR PLAY.

At their Old Game.

ne HepU0hc comes out with the old
"stop Thief" cry, that the Wings, des-
pairing Of electing any of the rest of
their ticket, are making arrangements
to "swap votes with unwary democrats,
in order to secure the election Of Mr..
Pumroy, their candidate for Treasurer,
&c.,' and then breaks out in a warn
ing voice against .'Whig tricks" How
apt are, corrupt and designing tricksters
TO see corruption and swindling in all
the movements of others. We hope
that the "raw head and bloody bones"
that the Republic men have discovered
in the movements of the Wings, will
not frighten them too much. No doubt,
the Republic would like very much to
create the impression that the Wings
have no hope Of electing any Of their
ticket. This, is only an undetermined,
sneaking, guerrilla warfare they are wa
ging upon our candidates, but we are
too old campaigners to be caught by
green ones. The Wings expect, that
the people, disguised with your disregar-
ded and broken promises, mismanage-
ment, and extravaganza, will give you
leave TO rest and place the very candi-
dates you are so unjustly abusing, in
power. Let no such shallow rirkery,
and flimsy charges, then, discourage
any, or cause them to relax their efforts
but, let every one who wishes to see
improper Laws, extravagant Legislation
rebuked, and our County affairs mana
ged more prudenly and economically,
come up and vote for the candidates the
the Republic is abusing, and they will
confer lasting good on the County, and
relieve the taxpayers of an enormous
burden. The charge, that Wing officers
brought the County into its present en-
barrassed and tax-ridden State, we have
once before shown TO be false. Ii is
again repeated with unblushing efronle-
ny. by the Republic of this week. We
state again distinctly, that the whole
management of the financial affairs of
the County, ever since its organization,
with the exception Of few months, al
its commencement, has benin the hands
of Board of County Commissioners,
Of whom, majority were Democrats,
and had every thing their own way
For the truth of this statement, we can
appeal to hundreds of Democrats in all
parts OF the County, who know il to be
fact, as the public records in the Of
fees of the County will show. The
Wings held the posts of Sheriff, and
County clerk, for some years. But no
one will deny that the majority Of the
Board, the Commissioners clerk, and the
Treasurer, Recorder &C., were all in
the hands Of the Democrats. They
manage the financial affairs Of the Coun-
~, and We and the people hold them res
ponsible for all that the Republic COM
plains of in the County.

EPIscopAI cnNyENrIoN.

We copy from the last Carolinian the following
notice Of the Episcopal Convention, now in session
in Fayetteville
The Convention of the Protestant Episco pal
Church Of North Carolina, assembled at ST. Johns
church on Wednesday last. Nothing of interest oc-
Cured until thea fternoon session of Thursday. The
committee of investigation appointed IL months
since to inquire into the ecclesiastical of Bish
op Ives, having offered their report MIR. G. p. NAL
lett introduced resolution re-commit the report
to increased committee. This gave rise to a very
animated and spicy debate upon the point of order
which Mr.. Collins, Mr.. Mallett, Mr. Haughton, Mr..
Strange, and MIR. Badger participated. The resolu-
ton was Withdrawn, and Mr.. Mallett moved 10 dis
pense with the reading of the report which motion
was very ably debated by the gentlemen above NAM
ed, and by Mr.. Hines and the Rev. Mr.. Smedes The
motion lost by a vote of 90 to of the clergy,
and TO of the parishes, there not being concur
renee of both orders.
The doors then closed and the spectators pro-
hibited from hearing the report read, by of 80
to 80. At the latest hour at which we heard from
the Convention, the doors had not been re-opened.
DR.. Mason of Raleigh was in the Chair
1t is rumored that the Bishop is to be impeached,
and that Mr.. Badger is prefer the articles of i'm
parchment. That gentleman is in attendance the

THE SHELBY MEETING.

We invite attention to the Communication in an
other column, giving account of Gen. Bynum' s
great" (M)ass Meeting in Shelby, on the open
Convention question. Our Correspondent: has no
doubt painted the the life 1t is rich and in
structive.
This Meeting-which was called, like others OF
similar stamp, for the purpose of agitation and with
the hope of dividing the Democratic party-was as
cold as an iceberg and thin as Calvin Edison. II
is said to be serious truth " that the Resolutions
adopted received but three votes! Quite " serious
Truth" for Gen. Bynum, Sam FIemming, and thei
brother agitators.
These gentlemen to have another great' Mas:
Meeting at Morganton some time this Summer We
predict for it the same affecting thinness which char
acterized the Shelby demonstration.
The people are determined to have Equal Suffrage
by Legislative enactment and according to the forms
the Constitution; and they will hold TO strict &C
count, those Western members who voted against it
The popular voice has been uttered, and it must b
! obeyed.

MCBRIDE AND CROOKS.

The people of Guilford County have very properly
compelled Mcbride the incendary preacher, to leave
A company of some two hundred, it is said, inter-
cepted him last Sunday week, while on his way to
an appointment Sandy Ridge, and after conducting
him over the line into Forsyth, exacted from him a
written pledge of $1,000 to leave GuilfOrd and the
State Immediately, and never to reurn nor send back
into the State any publication whatever the subec:
of Slavery. One of his friends, man of substance
gave written promise surety, that his pledge
should be fulfilled.
The Patriot, from which we gather the above, says
that Crooks the other ncendiay, stated to the COM
mttee of the public meeting, who also gave him no.
tlce to leave, that he did not preach in Guiford
County. Where does he preach He ought to be
attended to.

LITERARY NOTICE.

Dies Boreals Christopher under Canvass, by Pro
fessOr John WiBon-P0meroy.
The reputation of Christopher North is too well
established for to venture, without presumption,
criticise any thing from his pen. Those who for
merly hailed with delight the numbers of Blackwood
containing paper of the Noctes Ambrosianae, will
welcome with pleasure the Dies Boreales. Like the
Noctese they first appeared in Blackwood. They are
not we think quite SO remarkable for their racy rich
the former; perhaps it is because miss in
them the broad Scotch of the burly Shepherd, with
his rich poetic sentiment and shrewd observations
We are more than ever struck with his very modest
remark of"What IS Noctese wihouten Shepherd
tell me that" The Dies contain a lively CRITICS n
of many standard works. Those papers on Buffers
Analogy, and Shakespeare Macbeth and Othelo
would alone stamp the book as the production of a
a master mind. There is init of what Talboy
calls the cant of criticism, which sounds at
queer and commonplace. Queer things in one
sense of the word we may meet there, but not com
mon place.

The number of interments in the city of New
Orleans during the week ending May 10th, shown

same disease.
There were also some cases in Point Coupee par
