THE CANVASS OF FALsEHOODs.

The Raleigh Register keeps the following stand
ing under its Editorial head
"Again, Gen. Pierce, in speech made by him
while in the United States Senate-See Globe, 2nd
Session, 25th Congress, page 54-says:
." have no HESITATION in saying that consider
Slavery SOCIAL and POLITICAL EVIL, and
MOST SINCERELY WISH I'll had no eristence on
the face Of the earth!"
We have examined the Congressional Globe,
/" End Session, 25th Congress, page 54," and find
no such language as the above altered by General
Pierce Let those who may entertain doubts up
on the subject, obtain the Globe referred to, and
examine for themselves.
Comment is unnecessary.
Again The Register and other Southern Scott
we will not say Whig-papers, have been pub
fishing statement from the Philadelphia Inquirer
to the effect that number of Democrats in York
County, Pennsylvania, had determined to go for
Scott and Graham-had raised a Scott flag, &c.
This statement is positively contradicted by Isaac
G. Mckinley, Esq, of Harrisburg, over his own
name. Mr.. Mckinley is the Editor of the Demo
cratic Union, and one of the State Committee He
says the achole statement is false.
That must be poor cause which can make an
impression on the public mind i'll no other way than
by deliberate falsehood and fraud.

COUNTERFEIT BILLS

We learn that counterfeit bills of the Bank of
the State of North Carolina, mainly of the four dol
lar denomination, in circulation in Moore, An
son, and the surrounding Counties. A negro man
has been arrested for passing of these bills,
or attempting to pass them, and is now in Arson
Jail.
We learn that these bills are pretty we'll execut-
ed, so far as the engraving is concerned but the
paper is course, and the signatures evidently en-
graved.
The negro man, when arrested, had some $50
of this counterfeit money in his possession. White
men are, of course at the head of this nefarious
business; and it behooves all good citizens to be
vigilant in hunting them out and bringing them
to justice.
